Chapter 1

Surresh was a small town near Los Angeles. There were small houses and lots of trees and nature. The people who lived there weren't rich but not as poor as church rats. Vanessa Hudgens was no exception.

Vanessa and her best friend Ashley Tisdale lived in Surresh ever since they were born. They met in kindergarten and were friends ever since. Now they are in High School, and they're still like sisters.

'Come on Ash, we're going to be so late! Mrs. T is going to kill us!' Vanessa shouted to her best friend.

'I don't care! I can't walk any faster. We should buy a car.' Ashley replied while pouting at her friend.

'Yes, we should. You buy one with your imaginary money!' They both started laughing.

'We could always steal one!' Ashley joked. She caught up with Vanessa and they linked arms.

'I heard someone bought it!' Vanessa said while pointing at a huge house. It was a beautiful white house with fences.'

Ashley nodded. 'Must be someone rich, like…a millionaire!'

They kept walking until they arrived at school. They were late, as usual.

They started running to their English class.

'We're so sorry Mrs T.' Ashley started. 'Yeah, it was……TRAFFIC!' Vanessa shouted. She couldn't think of anything else and Mrs. T didn't know they didn't have a car.

'Well fine, but this is the last time. Next time you girls will both get detention!' Mrs T. said.

They sat down and smiled at each other. No detention. Mrs T. rocks!

After English class they had a break. They looked for their friends in the cafeteria and joined them. 'He guys!' Vanessa greeted her other friends. No one replied, they were all busy talking.

'Yes, I heard'

'I heard it's an old man, a billionaire'

'No, it's Bill Gates.'

'My mother told me it's a 18-yeard old girl.'

'GUYS!' Ashley shouted. 'Stop it, let's just wait and see.'

Everybody laughed and Vanessa said: 'Yes, but I am reaaallly curious.' Everybody nodded.

After school Ashley and Vanessa started walking home. 'He V? wanna have a sleepover?'

'Yay, I love sleepovers. I'll bring popcorn, you pick the movies.'

Vanessa entered her house and looked for her sister Stella.

'He Stel, so you happen to know who bought the huuuge white house 2 blocks from here?'

'Of course I know everything. It's erm….what was their name,' Stella started thinking. 'Oh right! Grabeel, the Grabeel family. They have a 18-year old son named Lucas.'

'Ok,' Vanessa just nodded and looked for some popcorn.

Meanwhile, In Ashley's house…

'Ashley thank god you're home! You have to look your best come on, we have a guest tonight. I invited the family who bought the house 2 blocks from here. They have a son, Lucas, he's perfect for you, rich, rich and RICH!'

Ashley's mother was a nice women but she was obsessed with money. Whenever they would meet someone rich she tried to hook him up with Ashley or her other daughter. Ashley was sick of it. She didn't want someone rich, just someone who loved her for who she was.

'But mom, I invited Vanessa for a sleepover.' Ashley said to her mother, who was still running around like a lunatic.

'Well, Vanessa is a good girl. Just tell her to behave, and warn her not to try anything with Lucas. He's yours!' Ashley sighed and went to her room.

An hour later she heard her mother opening the front door. 'Oh Ness, it's you. Just go upstairs and get ready with Ashley.'

Vanessa looked at her outfit. What is wrong with what I'm wearing?

She ran upstairs and went in Ashley's room. 'He Ash,' she greeted.

'Good you're here! You have to help me tonight. I can't let my mom force me to like a rich guy!'

Vanessa laughed. 'she can't force you, you know? And who knows maybe he's really cute!'

Ashley threw a pillow and Vanessa threw it back. 'He!' she yelled. 'Watch it, I just did my hair if you mess it up your mom will kill me!'

Ashley started laughing.

15 minutes later the girls heard a knock on the door. Mrs. Tisdale came in, she looked like she just ran over her puppy or something.

'Mom what's wrong?' Ashley asked. Her mom shrugged and said: 'They cancelled.'

Her mom walked away again. Ashley couldn't help but smile. She said: 'I'm really sorry for my mom but…this is great!'

The next day Vanessa and Ashley woke up. They fell asleep during the third movie of the night.

'He Ash, isn't tonight Katie's party?'

'Omgosh, it is! I totally forgot!' she practically screamed.

At 8:30 they were both dressed and ready to go to the party.

'Great,' Ashley whined. 'Walking……again.'

They linked arms and walked on without saying a word. Until Ashley said: 'Wow, V look at that car!' A car passed, it was a limo! Vanessa just stared at it.

They saw the car stop in front of Katie's house, but no one got out of the car.

Ashley and Vanessa entered Katie's house and congratulated her. They started dancing, but suddenly everybody stopped. 'He what's up?' Vanessa asked. The girl just pointed. Vanessa looked in the direction she pointed and saw two guys and a girl entering. 'That's Lucas Grabeel, and his even richer friend Zac Efron.' Vanessa looked at the proud guy who stood next to Lucas. He was handsome, but he looked like he hated to be here.

A few minutes later when everyone was dancing, Lucas and his friends walked up to Vanessa and Ashley. 'Hello, I'm Lucas Grabeel,' he said shyly 'and this is my sister Jennifer, and my best friend Zac Efron.'

Ashley just smiled. She couldn't say a word. She never saw a cuter guy. 'He, I'm Vanessa Hudgens and this is Ashley Tisdale.' Lucas smiled.

When the next song started paying he asked Ashley: 'Can I have this dance?' they both started laughing and she took his hand.

'Do you like dancing, Zac?' Vanessa asked. 'No,' he answered before walking away.

Vanessa just stared at his back.

After the music stopped Ashley and Vanessa went to the hallway. They were behind everyone's coats. They stopped giggling when they heard voices. 'Lots of pretty girls here, and they're all very nice. I'm going to like it here.' Lucas said.

'You were dancing with the only pretty girl in the room, and I think this is below us.'

'Well, her friend is really pretty, what's her name? Oh Vanessa!' Lucas replied. Vanessa smiled and whispered: 'Ah he's so cute, you are so going to marry him!' Ashley slapped her.

'She pretty? I think she's plain, nothing special.' Zac said.

Ashley's eyes widened. 'That's so mean!' Vanessa was mad, who was he to judge? She heard Ashley cursing and told her to be quiet.

'It's ok, It's not like I want him to like me.' Vanessa whispered.
