Author's Note: Here's my first-ever Zekepay story! Enjoy, and read and review!

Chapter One: Holiday Blues

When Sharpay Evans heard that she could bring anyone with her to the lodge, she instantly thought of Troy Bolton.

That is, until her twin brother, Ryan Evans, burst her bubble by explaining the obvious to her.

"Troy's staying with Gabriella over Christmas break." he told her, while Sharpay's smile turned into a frown.

"Thanks for bursting my bubble, Ryan." she said snappily.

"Was Troy your only choice, Shar?" Ryan asked, but then when he said it, he shook his head, answering his own question: why yes, Troy was her only choice.

"Well, did you ask anyone besides Haylie, brother?" Sharpay asked back.

"No, I didn't, but I knew everyone was doing something for Christmas, so I asked her." Ryan explained.

They were suppose to have their choices in by their parents before they left, which Ryan already did. Sharpay, on the other hand, wanted to ask Troy, but since Ryan burst her bubble, she knew she didn't have a second choice to call upon.

And that surprised her, really: Sharpay was quite popular at East High, and the mention of being her traveling buddy to suit anyone: boy or girl.

"Okay...well...how about Zeke Baylor?" Ryan asked, while Sharpay gave him one of her famous Mountain Lion glares.

Since all her life that Sharpay had knew Zeke, she knew he had a crush on her, and it showed whenever he was around her. But, Sharpay never really cared for Zeke, or any other basketball player, in that matter.

"Ryan, do you know what that'll do to my repuation if I'm seen with Zeke?" Sharpay delcared.

"Shar, Zeke's popular, and he's a jock." Ryan pointed out.

"He bakes, Ryan." Sharpay hissed.

"So? Alot of guys do, just like guys do do theatre. Besides, let the guy have some fun. Zek can be a pretty nice guy once you get to know him."

Yeah, a pretty creepy stalker..Sharpay thought.

But, then she sighed, and bit her lower lip.

Zeke was probably the only choice she had left, and if she didn't want to hang around with him, she could easily ditch him.

"Alright...I guess I can put with him." Sharpay stated, and Ryan smiled.

"Okay. Do you want to call him, or do you want me to?" Ryan asked, and she scowled when she saw him smirking.

She snatched her cellphone from the glass coffee table, and dialed Zeke's number, hearing the ringing in the background.

Can you sue your own brother for asking a guy you didn't like over for Christmas break?

"Hello?" asked a shrilly voice, and Sharpay plugged her ears, while Ryan was trying his hardest to not fall off the couch.

"Hey...um...is Zeke there?" she asked.

"Yeah...hey, Zeke! A girl wants you!" the voice stated, and Sharpay unplugged her ears.

A moment later, Zeke's voice came on the line.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hey, Zeke, this Sharpay." Sharpay stated, not giving her last name.

How many Sharpays did he know?

"Oh! Hey. What's up?" Zeke asked.

"Well, me and Ryan are deciding our guests to take with to the lodge, and I was wondering if you wanted to be my guest?"

There was silence on the other line, and Sharpay wondered why he was so quiet, so she asked, "Zeke? Are you there?"

"Yes, of course! I'd love to go...but, weren't you going to ask Troy?"

"My brother told me he'd be staying here for Christmas break, and I didn't have anyone else in mind." Sharpay explained.

"Oh. That's too bad."

"Yeah. Were leaving Friday, so you have plenty of time to pack."

"Okay. Sounds good. Well, I better go. Thanks again for inviting me." Zeke replied, and she heard him hang up.

She did the same, and Ryan grinned.

"So, how'd it go?" he asked, and Sharpay looked at him.

"Good...I guess."

But, one thing is for certain:

If Zeke thinks something will happen between the two, he was seriously wrong.

So wrong indeed.
