RATED T FOR: Drinking, teen pregnancy.

GABRIELLA

"Where's Troy? He said he'd be by the pool when I texted him." Sharpay asked.

"Probably went to pee or something. I'll go check the bathrooms." Chad grabbed a soda from some kid and ran into the house.

"Crap! I forgot he said the west pool, not the east!" Sharpay said. "Well, I feel like an idiot. Should I go get Chad?"

"Nah, I need a drink. I'll find him inside." Gabriella ran up the steps, and into the Hilken's kitchen. Kyle Hilen always threw the best parties, and the gang decided they couldn't miss one. She opened her mouth to ask for a Coke, but some guy handed her a red plastic cup. It looked like pee. She took a sip, and decided pee couldn't taste that good.

"Gabs!" Chad jogged up behind her, taking a sip from his cup.

"Hey." She took another drink. "Mmm. You got some of this,too? It's really good! I don't know what it is though, but I've gotta put it on Mom's grocery list!"

"Punch, I guess." He downed it in one gulp. "I need more though. Oh, yeah, and I couldn't find Troy. Did you see him?"

"Shar had the wrong pool." Gabriella gulped down the last of her drink and reached for another on the counter. "This is like, ten times better than the punch at the school parties. I wonder what the secret ingredient is."

"I dunno." Chad said. "Hey, the upstairs game room is awesome! Wanna come check it out with me?"

"I'm supposed to meet Ryan on the dance floor.." She was on her third cup when she realized, 'Chad looks way better now than when we were in the car over here.'..."Sure! Let's go!"

TROY

"Shar!" Troy Bolton shouted to his girlfriend, Sharpay, from in the hot tub. "Over here!"

Sharpay peeled off her swimsuit cover-up to reveal a 2-piece. She wanted to dress conservatively tonight. Her mom was drilling "What Would Jesus Do?" into her head, and she couldn't picture Jesus in a string bikini.

"Hey, babe. What's up?" She kissed him on the cheek and climbed in.

"You look hot." He said. He knew she hated people saying that. Ever since her church camp last year, Sharpay had changed. She no longer wanted to be 'hot', she wanted to be 'beautiful.'

"Shut up!" She whacked him playfully. His hair looked so soft, and his muscles defined. She really wanted to make out with him, but reminded herself she was only going as far as 1-minute kissing for now. 'It's been a year, though! God will forgive you for one tiny make-out sesh!' the Devil on her shoulder said. 'WWJD, Sharpay?" the Angel on her other shoulder asked. "WHy don't we go to the dance floor or something. Ooh! They're starting a new round of chicked in the pool! Let's go!"

"Pay, babe. You just got in the hot tub!" He said. Chicked would be fun, but all he really wanted was to be alone with Sharpay. His intentions weren't dirty, but he missed Sharpay. They hadn't seen each other since Troy left for his basketball national shampionship. He pecked her on the lips, and ran his fingers through her hair. She gave him the puppy eyes and said "Not right now."

RYAN

"Taylor, have you seen Gabi?" Ryan asked his friend.

"No, have you seen Chad?" Taylor asked him.

"Nah..Sharpay said Chad went to find Troy, and then she got the wrong pool, so Gabs left to tell him. She hasn't seen 'em since." Ryan set his soda down on a table.

"Maybe they found each other and went looking for one of us." Taylor offered. "We'll find them. Follow me."

They checked bathrooms, pools, dance floors, kitchens, and living rooms. The looked everywhere, and neither Gabriella nor Chad were anywhere to be seen.

"Hey, here's a flight of stairs! Maybe they went up there." Taylor ran up the steps, Ryan trailing behind. They opened two doors, and both rooms were empty.

"One more door!" Ryan said. He turned the knob and-
