Chapter 1

"Hey guys." Gabriella Montez said to her group of friends as she walked into homeroom.

"Hey Brie-Ella." Her best friend Sharpay Evans said.

"Where's superstar." She asked talking about Gabriella's boyfriend, the king of East High Troy Bolton.

"At practice with your guys. He said his dad called an early one."

"Oh okay."

As the girls were talking in homeroom their guys came over and kissed each of them.

"Hey babe how was practice." Gabriella asked.

"It was okay. My dad didn't push us as much though." Troy said as he picked Gabriella up and sat her in his lap.

"Well the game season is over, so he shouldn't be." Taylor said as Chad did the same as Troy.

"Yeah that's what we thought." Zeke said.

Everyone was cut off from their conversations by Ms. Darbus coming in.

"Alright class settle down and Mr. Bolton, Mr. Danforth, please put Ms. Montez and Ms. Mckessie back in their seats."

Everyone laughed while Troy and Chad rolled their eyes and did as they were told.

"Okay now that we're all settled I have some great news."

"You're leaving! OW!" Chad said as everyone laughed after Taylor slapped the back of his head.

"No and detention; see me during free period."

"Serves you right." Sharpay said as Chad stuck his tongue out.

"Like I was saying the annual showcase that we have every year is coming up but the school needs a theme. Whoever comes up with an idea let me know tomorrow."

The bell rings and everyone rushes out. The rest of the was kinda like any other day with classes, lunch, the girls getting hit on by other guys at least twice with the boys ready to kill, and practice for them all seeing as they are all on a sports team.

GABRIELLA'S HOUSE

The gang was all in Gabriella's room doing homework and such. Troy and Gabriella was on her bed, Chad and Taylor the couch, Sharpay and Zeke the bean bags and Kelsi and Ryan on the floor.

"I wonder what this theme for the showcase is going to be." Ryan asked seeing as they were all trying to come up with a theme.

"I don't know but it better be fun since we have to perform in this one." Zeke said before earning a slap on the head from Sharpay.

"I agree with Zeke, I mean we have to make this one awesome since it is our last year." Troy said.

"Yeah and the fact that we didn't even raise a lot of money for this last year." Kelsi said because each year they sell tickets and last year they didn't sell that much.

"Guys I got it!" Gabriella said shocking everyone.

"Got what?" Chad asked.

"The theme you idiot."

"Oh" Chad said making his mouth into an O shape.

"Okay well don't just sit there, what is it?" Sharpay said excited.

THE NEXT DAY

"Alright class yesterday I asked you come up with a theme for the showcase. Did anyone have and idea?" Ms. Darbus asked as Gabriella raised her hand.

"Ms. Montez what did you come up with."

"Why not have a singing competition. Like the boys vs. the girls." Gabriella said with a smile.

"You mean like a battle of the sexes?" One of the other students asked.

"Yeah so what do you think Ms. D.?"

"I think it's a great idea. We'll have a battle of the sexes singing competition.
