I'm not so into High School Musical myself, but i do like the characters and the possibilities surrounding the basis of the story. This is my first High School Musical attempt and i will try and make it get better but please Review and don't just read because i know that's what people do.

The idea of the story is just that Sharpay finally notices someone who doesn't want to be noticed at all and is so not her type but she ends up falling in love, yadda yadda - it's hopefully going to be humorous because personally i find Sharpay the funniest of the characters in HSM. I want it to be a long courtship between the two and have all these things bouncing around like how they try to get eachother's attention and the differences etc. etc.

After this i hope to do a Gabriella/Zac one and i've got heaps of ideas but suggestions could be nice.

Disclaimer: Still not going to pretend i understand why people think you should do one of these, but no i don't own HSM. How embarassing if i did.

Sharpay Evans strutted down the hall way of East High – it was the first day of school. She laughed at all the boys she saw, knowing that they wished that she would pay attention to them and couldn't help but shine with pride when she realized that she was the queen of the school. Of course, the rubbish on the floors, the smelly locker areas and the stupid teachers were not hard to conquer but it was all baby steps, she remembered. Atleast that's what her life coach had always told her.

"Ryan!" Sharpay screamed, "Mirror!"

Sharpay's brother, Ryan, quickly dug around in Sharpay's purse and found the mirror that he was forced to carry everywhere – should Sharpay need to groom herself at any point. After a few moments of preening Sharpay shot the world a smile and continued on to class, her light blonde hair bouncing on her shoulders and the upcoming spring dance in her mind.

"Oh Ryan i just love the first day of school. So many possibilities, so much hope for the New Year - and i've grown to be even more perfect over the summer! Just...so exciting."

Sharpay sighed and walked into class, with Ryan shuffling in behind her.

Adam Barnat walked down the hall ways of East High with his head down. He was new to school and didn't feel comfortable not knowing anyone, but didn't exactly care anyway. He held his books in one hand and checked his timetable with the other. His first subject was English. Adam liked English – it always made sense to him and he could always lose himself in the tangled lives of Virginia Woolf and William Shakespeare if he wanted to forget about his own. Adam knew that he wasn't the most likeable person in the world – sarcastic and introverted; he couldn't help laughing when he looked at the people running around this school. They were so worried about their fake tan and being the coolest that hopefully he could slip under the radar. Here he was – his new classroom for English. It had taken him long enough to find it so although he was a bit late, Adam opened the door of room 213.

Sharpay sat at the back of her English classroom and stared at her crazy English teacher Mr Todd who she always thought seemed stuck in the 18th Century. He rode a bike to school, wasn't aware that there were perfectly good beauty salons that would happily do something with those eyebrows and seemed naive to the fact that no one even knew who Mozart and Haydn or Monet and Picasso were these days.

"Give me a gossip mag over this crap any day," sighed Sharpay as she flicked through her copy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Just as Sharpay was about to ask Ryan for her nail filer, the sudden halt in Mr Todd's rambling's distracted her. Sharpay looked up and saw a shy and overwhelmed boy enter the classroom. He was wearing long khaki pants that made Sharpay want to vomit, a buttoned up collared t-shirt and had messy brown hair accompanied with piercing blue eyes.

"Great. It looks like another new kid to join the nerd table at lunch. Don't we have enough of them? Jesus, please grant me some good looking boys to ask me to the Spring Dance, please!" cried Sharpay.

To this, Ryan responded in a moan that seemed to sound like some sort of an agreement although was confusing due to the latter of what Sharpay had said.

"Adam Barnat!"

Nothing.

"Adam Barnat!"

Adam suddenly realized that the teacher was talking to him. He had been looking at a strange blonde girl and her strange blonde boyfriend at the back of the room.

"Yes. That's me – just moved here from New Jersey. Sorry I'm late." Adam mumbled.

Adam walked to the only seat left in the back corner of the classroom next to the blonde girl.

"Now since I believe we're all here, I will allow myself to inform you that the seats you have chosen today will remain as such for the whole year," stuttered Adam's teacher, who Adam now recognized as the man who had ridden past him on his bike this morning.

"Great," Adam thought to himself, "First day and I already have a weird English teacher, a spot at the back of the classroom and worse still – I'm sitting next to the exact kind of person I cannot stand."

Sharpay looked to her left.

"Great," Sharpay thought to herself, "First day and I already have some weirdo nerdy creep sitting next to me for a whole year."
