Chapter 1: You Hate Boys

"Just because someone hurt you doesn't mean you should give up on yourself. You're a lot better than you are."

The loud music coming from the gym of East High echoed through the halls of the school. The students are celebrating their graduation party. Ten students don't mind the loudness of the music as long as they are having fun. These students were Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez, Sharpay Evans, Ryan Evans, Taylor McKessie, Chad Danforth, Kelsi Nielsen, Jayson Cross, Martha Cox and Zeke Baylor.

Sharpay Evans, the drama queen they used to know, changed over their senior year. She realized that having friends is more important than loving her own self. She started to date Troy but the colleges where they were accepted drifted them apart. She didn't have any idea where Troy is. All she knows is that he left her without saying goodbye.

They loss communication with each other as time passed. They did not expect how busy they will be as a college student.

6 YEARS AFTER…

Sharpay Evans works as a photographer for occasions and photoshoots. She has her own studio which she called Capture Everything. She fell in love in taking photos of nature so she insisted her parents to let her study photography instead of taking performing arts.

Sharpay's life is perfect. She misses her old friends though.

"Hi Sharpay!" Dana greeted closing the door of the studio. She's Sharpay's bestfriend and assistant.

"Hi Dana. Good mood today huh?" Looking up to her best friend. She's busy arranging the paper works for the next shoot they are doing.

"Of course! Finally, I'm getting married with Edward!" Dana said taking the chair beside Sharpay and started to read the announcements on Sharpay's computer.

"Oh.. uhm.. I'm happy for you." Sharpay said with a hint of disappointment. She then stop doing her work.

"I know you so much. You didn't mean what you just said. You're jealous, aren't you?"

"I'M NOT JEALOUS. It's just.. I don't feel well okay." Sharpay lied.

"Woah there girl. Let's face it. You hate boys, it means you also hate love."

"I do not hate boys.."

Dana stared at her for a moment.

"I do not hate Ryan and my dad. I don't hate love." Sharpay insisted.

They kept arguing until Dana said something about Sharpay's past.

"Well, that's not what you're telling me almost everyday! You always tell me that your first love, back then when you were high school, totally broke your heart that's why you started to hate boys, to hate love, to hate everything. And that same boy is also the reason why you still do not want to have a boyfriend. What's the name of the perfect blue eyed boy again? Oh, Troy. Yeah, Troy's the reason. By the way Ryan and your dad are exempted because they are your family. How can you hate your own family?"

Sharpay is so shocked at Dana's outburst. She cannot believe what her best friend thinks about her. She doesn't know how to react at their situation. She feels.. awkward.

Dana realized what she just said.

"I'm so sorry Shar. I didn't mean to hurt you.

Sharpay just burst into crying.

"Shh.. it's okay Shar. I'm sorry. I won't do that again. I'm sorry."

"It's okay Dana. It's just painful. I don't want my heart to be broken again." Sharpay started to wipe her tears and smile at Dana.

"I'm not really feeling well so I guess we can close the studio and bring the paper works at home." Sharpay started to pack her things.

"I'll drive you home." Dana suggested.

"Well if that's okay with you. Thank you."

The two then closed the studio and walked at the parking lot. Dana drives Sharpay home.


A/N: First of all, Hi everybody! I hope there are still some Troypay fans out there. I know I have a lot of grammar mistakes. I tried! I don't know if anyone likes the first chapter. Or is it too confusing? Let me know!

This is my first attempt of writing a story. Please be good to me! I appreciate suggestions and reviews.

Toodles!
