It was 7:00 on the first Tuesday of September. Therefore it was the first day of senior year for Gabriella Montez of East High. She was the most popular girl there. She was nice to everyone, she had the best grades, and a great sense of fashion which most girls would die to have. She had beautiful long black curly locks, and gorgeous tanned skin. Her wardrobe was to die for and any girl would want to have it. She lived on the outskirts of Albuquerque, in a subdivision called acre forest, a wealthy development. She lives a few blocks down from her two best friends. Sharpay and Ryan Evans, rich twins, who also attend East high with Gabriella. They were co-presidents of the drama club and Gabriella could not ask for better friends.

The alarm went off at 7:00 and Gabriella swung the blankets off of her and stood up stretching. It was the first day being a senior. She could not wait to see everyone again except for certain people but they don't matter at the moment. She got up and opened the door to her walk in closet. She walked around for a few minutes deciding what she would wear. In the summer Sharpay, Ryan, and herself flew to La for a week and she went on a major shopping spree, she knew she wanted to wear something new. Then she found that outfit, with matching accessories and shoes. She laid the accessories on her make-up desk, the clothes on the bed and the shoes by her purse on the floor by her door and full length mirror.

She went into the bathroom and took a shower to wake herself up. She got out and wrapped a towel around her body, and hair. She washed and moisturized her face, her normal routine she performs every morning. She then went out into her room and applied her make-up. She then got dressed into her outfit. She went back over to her desk. She did her hair. She slipped on her shoes and picked up her purse and looked in the mirror at herself.

"Perfect" she tells herself, knowing she made the right decision

She was in a black mini skirt that went half way to her knees. She had on a pink halter top on with the fabric running down her back. She has on high black boots. She slung a white belt across her hips lining her midriff above them which was showing a little. She was conservative but didn't mind showing a little skin. Her hair was down, letting the curls run down to her shoulder. She had silver hooped earrings with her silver ring, necklace and bangles. She picked up her white purse and walked downstairs. She ate breakfast their workers made for her. She grabbed her corvette's keys, got in her corvette and started off towards the school.

When she got there she parked beside a pink mustang and a green hummer. She then linked with Sharpay who came out of her mustang looking fantastic. I short knee length glittering pink dress with pink heels and her blonde hair pulled back by a hand band resting on her shoulders. Then she linked her other arm with Ryan, Sharpay's twin. He was tall and slim with blond hair under one of his signature hats and in a pinstripe shirt with nice khaki pants and nice shoes. They all link arms and walk into the school for their senior year.

--On the same day on the other side of the development at 7:00 Troy Bolton moans and slaps his hand down on the alarm clock. He wanted to get to school with all his friends as he was the most popular boy 

at east high but he was definitely not a morning person. He was famous at east high, rich, captain of basketball team, great looks, and kind to most people who belonged to his clique He had to loyal friends, Chad and his girlfriends Taylor. They have been friends since preschool and are never separated. He groaned as the blinds where pulled back by his mother and the sunlight shone on his bed in his face as his mom walked out of the room shutting the door. He sat up yawning and stretching his muscular arms.

He got up out of bed in his basketball boxers and went to his closet. He wasn't the most fashionable guy but he liked to look good when he went to school. He laid out his clothes on his bed and chucked his shoes at the foot of the bed. He grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. He got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around his waist. He went to his room put on his clothes and his shoes then shook his hair to dry it and it landing all into place. He was in black jeans and a blue polo which could show he had abs but was lose at the same time. He grabbed his gym bag and put his basketball shoes and clothes into it. he looked in the mirror.

"The girls will be all over me" he says and giving a goofy grin

This was the deal with Troy Bolton. All the girls are crazy about him except for about 2 or 3 but that was an exception. The girls would go insane for Troy. He is just entering his senior year. Ever since freshman year he has been invited and has went to the senior prom every year. Each year a senior girl had asked him and he wasn't one to turn it down. In his junior here, he went to his prom and the senior graduate's prom.

He grabbed his gym back and his book back and ran down the stairs. He ate the breakfast his cook made him. He drank a glass of milk, grabbed his wallet, slipped it into his jeans pocket with his cell phone, grabbed his keys and walked out to the 4 car garage. He hopped into his 2 seat, silver, convertible Mercedes bends and headed toward school. When he got in front of eat high he parked in his normal spot beside a Yellow McLaren, and a red Lamborghini. He got out too see his best friends, Chad and Taylor making out.

"Hey, can we start school now and stop sucking face" Troy laughed

"Hey man" Chad said taking Taylor's hand

"Hey Troy, yeah let's go" giving him a one armed hug as her other hand was occupied with Chad's.\

"Hey little sis what sup" he says giving Taylor a hug

Taylor and Troy had a really close friendship. Troy always looked out for Taylor with Chad. He was her big brother practically so they always greeted each other with a hug so it was nothing unusual. They walk into the school heading toward the wing their lockers were always in being popular in the east high student body. They walked down the halls. Chad's curly hair was bouncing while he was wearing his yellow shirt, and blue jeans. Taylor's long straightened hair blowing below her shoulders as her long legs carried her in her red high heels and the short red halter dress she decided to wear. Troy was walking 

beside them. They all walked into the hall as people would watch them. They walked down the hall when at the other end the other diva three were walking towards them.

They both stopped and stared at each other. Gabriella was staring down Troy and he was doing the same.

"Well, looks like the witch returned" Tory said

"Same with the Basketball Jock from hell" Gabriella said coldly "Let's go"

She pushed through him brushing his shoulder roughly as Ryan and Sharpay follow to their lockers. Their lockers were in the same hall but they both enter form the opposite ends to their lockers, This little occurrence happens every day, and had for the first 3 years of high school. They were both popular for different reasons and no one knew why they despised each other, there wasn't even a reason they were just too different to be friends or even acknowledge each other.
