A/N: hey, it's Brooke, back again! I haven't been into a lot of HSM stuff recently, but since I found out about HSM 2, I just had to write a new fic about our favorite people. Just be warned that this fan fiction takes place without the events of High School Musical 2 (since I haven't seen it yet). Enjoy!
Summary: It's finally senior year for the gang and more importantly, the Senior Prom! Thing's have shaped up since the whole Winter Musical incident and now even Sharpay and Ryan are in the group. But what if something's going on with the whole Troy/Gabi/Sharpay love triangle? One of the girls is up to something and her plan is going to affect everyone! So, who's scheming, who's wearing what to the prom, and more importantly: who's Troy taking???
Disclaimer: sadly, I don't own HSM :'(
A/N 2: for your preference viewing, all outfits are linked in my profile. Also, this chapter is more of an introduction to the story, not actually a chapter. I'll be adding the real first chapter soon though!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
A boy about seventeen years old rolled over in his bed and felt around blindly on his bedside table to turn off his alarm clock. With success, the beeping stopped.
The boy sat up in his bed and rubbed the sleep sand from his blue eyes, opening them lazily.
"Troy, hurry up or you're going to be late for school!" a voice called.
'First day back to school,' the basketball star thought tiredly.
"Ok Dad!" he called back.
Meanwhile, all over the neighborhood, all of Troy's friends and classmates were doing the same as him.
"Gabriella, c'mon!" Mrs. Montez shouted.
"I'm coming Ma!" the teenager shouted, turning back to her full length mirror, checking her shorts and shirt one last time for wrinkles.
'Perfect,' she thought with a smile, 'Troy will notice me for sure with this.'
With that, Gabriella hurried to the garage where her mother was waiting impatiently for her.
"Ryan, are you almost ready?" Sharpay asked, knocking on her brother's door. The door swung open and a very shocked and half prepared Ryan (with his toothbrush hanging out of the left side of his mouth) stood there.
"You mean to say, you're ready to go?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah," Sharpay said.
Ryan blinked a few times before saying, "Well, this is a first." With that, he turned around and went back into his room to finish getting ready.
"Be downstairs in five or I'm leaving without you," Sharpay called, dashing down the staircase to the main level of the house.
Sharpay sat down in her pink car and did an outfit once over, just for reference. To the blonde's joy, her dress and latte brown leggings were free of wrinkles and her flats were in perfect condition.
"This year, things are going to change," Sharpay murmured to herself before Ryan hopped into the car.
"Ready?" Ryan asked.
Sharpay fired up the engine. "Ready."
"Taylor! Chad's in the driveway for you!" Mrs. McKessie shouted up the stairs to her daughter.
"Coming Mom!" Taylor shouted, hooking a silver hoop through her left ear as she opened her bedroom door with her foot.
She raced down the stairs, grabbed her messenger bag off a chair in the kitchen, kissed her parents good-bye, and ran out to her boyfriend's car.
"Wow… senior year," Chad smiled as he backed out of the driveway.
"Our last year at East High," Taylor sighed.
"Let's go," Chad said as he drove to the school.
Kelsi looked nervously in the mirror in the bathroom she shared with her younger sister, Julia, trying to decide if her new outfit was right or not for the first day of school. Normally, Kelsi wouldn't have cared, but ever since she got to be friends with Gabriella, Taylor, and Sharpay, Kelsi had become more outgoing, social, and fashion forward. Of course she was still herself, a little shyness here and there, especially when Jason kissed her.
"Relax Kels, you look great," Julia said, smiling up at her older sister. Kelsi hadn't even heard her come in.
"T-thanks Jules," Kelsi said, "You look great too."
Then a horn honked from the front of the house.
"Guess that's my ride," Kelsi said grabbing her book bag off the counter and heading out of the bathroom.
"See you later," Julia called before turning to the sink to brush her teeth.
Kelsi raced down the stairs, holding her hand to the top of her head so her red chunky knit cabbie hat wouldn't fly off and walked out the front door of her house to Jason's car which was parked in her driveway.
She got in on the passenger side and set her bag by her feet before turning to face Jason.
He kissed her cheek, pulled off her hat, and threw it in the backseat before switching into reverse and backing out of the driveway.
After everyone arrived, they all sat up on the steps in front of the front doors to East High and they all thought the same thing:
'Senior year… finally here…'
A/N: ok, so that's the intro chapter. First real chapter will be up soon! Review please.
