A/N: I have a new story, as you can see, for you guys! This was inspired by xxluvstrukxx's story: I want a guy.
To be honest, I'm a procrastinator. I procrastinated on this chapter. I was in the middle of writing the first chapter to this story when I got distracted and read the first chapter to I want a guy. Reading that first chapter made me want to finish writing my first chapter to this story.
Disclaimer: Anything that is High School Musical is not mine. ): I did not write the bold&italisized writing. All rights go to their rightful owners. And... I'm not trying to copy what xxluvstrukxx has written for I want a guy. We just have similar ideas.

Chapter 1: Seating Plans
I think it's cute when the guy is the one who sits on the girl's lap for once.
It was an early Friday morning when the cool, Albuquerque breeze made its way around the Evans' country club. The sun was starting to peek through the fluffy, white clouds as birds began to wake up, chirping and tweeting about.
It has been a full week since summer had officially let in for the Wildcats and they were spending this weekend at Lava Springs. Six specific, upcoming seniors at East High sat by the pool and on the ledge of the makeshift waterfall.
"Javier!" Sharpay called out to the teen aged lifeguard on shift.
"More ice, Miss Evans?" He questioned, glancing at her blue lemonade.
"You know me too well," She smiled, kicking her feet around in the pool. Javier began to leave, "Could you get some drinks for my friends as well?" It was more of an order than a question.
"Of course, Miss Evans," Javier smiled again, before turning to head into the country club. "Hey, Mr. Evans," Javier greeted Ryan, Sharpay's twin brother, as he passed.
"How many times have I told you to call me Ryan, man?" The blonde asked, shaking his head.
"Sorry dude, it's become a habit," He admitted.
"My parents want to talk to you in the lobby," Ryan said. "So there's no need for you to serve my sister's every need." He and Javier shared a laugh and Sharpay gave them a dirty look. Ryan gave Javier a pat on the back and Javier walked off.
"What was that about?" Sharpay glared.
"He's getting a promotion," Ryan smirked. "That means you can get yourself your own precious ice cubes," He said pointing towards the kitchen.
"While you're there could you get me something to eat?" Piped Chad. "I'm really hungry!"
"You're always hungry," Taylor, Chad's girlfriend since the eighth grade, rolled her eyes.
"Pig," Sharpay mumbled.
"I heard that!" Chad shouted from his spot in the pool beside Taylor.
"Good," Sharpay said sternly. "You were supposed to!"
Gabriella broke into a fit of giggles from the top of the makeshift waterfall as her boyfriend, Troy, whispered something into her ear.
"You two better not be touching each other up there," Taylor joked, but she was secretly hoping they really weren't doing anything out of the ordinary.
"We're just merely talking to one another," Gabriella stated, smiling up at Troy. Troy smiled back, kissing her on the cheek.
"Lunch is ready, kids!" Darby Evans, the twins' mother, called out while gesturing to the plates of food.
"Last one there is an aired out basketball!" Troy yelled, jokingly pushing Gabriella out of his way.
Sharpay, Taylor, and Gabriella shook their heads as Ryan, Chad, and Troy tackled and shoved each other out of the way to get to their food.
"Anyone wanna go for thirds?" Chad questioned, burping in the process.
"Ewh," Sharpay cringed. "Keep your natural gasses to yourself!"
"You're lucky he's only burping," Troy rolled his eyes.
"You know how he gets when he fa-" Ryan was cut off.
"I think we all know," Gabriella's face churned in disgust.
"It's not that bad!" Chad defended.
"That's because you're not on the other end of the blast," Taylor shook her head, leaning over her chair to wipe off the crumbs on Chad's face as he frowned.
"End of what blast?" Kelsi Neilson, Ryan's girlfriend, questioned sitting on Ryan's lap, while Zeke Baylor, Sharpay's boyfriend, had just walked into the dining hall while wiping his hands on his apron.
"Zeke!" Sharpay squealed, beckoning him to sit beside her.
Ryan gave Kelsi a kiss on the cheek, "What are you guys doing here so early?"
"I just finished up a meeting with the band that works here," Kelsi stated.
Zeke shrugged, "Chef Michael said that I could take a break."
"What were you guys talking about before?" Kelsi asked, still curious to their previous conversation.
"I think you would rather play Go Fish than hear about the topic we were discussing before," Gabriella laughed, and stopped after seeing the playful glare Chad was sending her.
"Go Fish," Taylor raised an eyebrow. "Really Gabs?"
"What's Go Fish?" Chad inquired. Everyone stared at him in silence. "What? I'm being serious here!"
Sharpay exclaimed, "The card game, goof!"
"Don't you mean Gold Fish?"
Everyone sighed and shook their heads while Troy went to search for cards.
"Found them!" Troy yelled from across the hall, waving the pack of cards around. Taylor and Gabriella stacked the plates and cutlery off to the side so they would have room to play cards.
They all spread out around the table. Kelsi was still sitting on Ryan's lap while Taylor sat beside Chad. Troy sat next to Gabriella, and Sharpay was practically a part of Zeke's hip.
Gabriella had finished dealing the cards when she noticed Ryan looking at Kelsi's cards. "Hey, Ryan's cheating!"
"I am not!" Ryan exaggeratedly gasped.
Kelsi's gasp was more believable, "Ryan!" She pulled her cards to her chest.
"With Kelsi in your lap, you have a clear view of her cards," Taylor fought.
"Anyone have a two?" Zeke questioned, ignoring the childish fight.
"No, go fish!"
Chad shouted over everyone, "Gold fish!"
"Wait... if Kelsi gets to stay sitting on Ryan, I'm sitting on Zeke!" Sharpay exclaimed, detaching herself from Zeke's side to sit on his lap.
"Taylor, sit on me!" Chad said excitedly.
"I'd rather you not win by looking at my cards," Taylor scoffed.
Chad glared, "Are you assuming I'm going to look at your cards because Ryan was looking off Kelsi's?"
"I wasn't looking at her cards!" Ryan exclaimed.
"Whatever," Taylor rolled her eyes. "I'm fine where I'm sitting."
"Anyone have a queen?" Gabriella questioned over the noise Chad, Ryan and Taylor were making.
"I do! And she's right here," Troy winked at Gabriella, climbing onto her lap.
"Awh!" Sharpay, Kelsi and Taylor cooed.
"Troy," Gabriella giggled. "You're kind of squishing me!"
"Really? I don't think I am," Troy smirked.
"Are you going to move?" She questioned.
"Nawh! Now I can see why you like sitting on mine,"
Zeke let out a growl, "Do you have the queen or not?"
Troy laughed, "Nope, go fish!"
"Do any of you have a four?" Ryan asked.
"Here," Zeke mumbled, passing Ryan his four.
Gabriella wiggled under Troy. "Am I really squishing you, Ella?" Troy questioned, concerned. "Because I'll sit back down if you want -"
"No!" Gabriella shouted. "I mean," She cleared her throat. "I think it's cute that you're sitting on my lap for once."
"I love you," Troy briefly kissed Gabriella's lips.
Gabriella smiled and laid her head on Troy's shoulder blade, "I love you, too."
Chad turned to Taylor, whining, "Why don't you let me sit on your lap?"
A/N: I rushed. It was bad, wasn't it? T-T
