When Troy Bolton bumped into Sharpay Evans on a Monday morning one day in their senior year of high school, he mentally prepared himself for her loud screams, a flirty wink and wave or one of her bear hugs. He whispers an apology to his ears and his arms. What? He never knew if it was the last time he'll ever hear again or use his arms ever again. Instead, all he got was a bright smile and a 'Good morning, Troy'.

What? The basketball ball captain blinked once. Twice. Was he dreaming? Of course. It has to be. In real life, Sharpay would be over dramatic. In real life, she'll be flirting with him although she must know that he's with Gabby. In real life, she would always give him a bear hug. She would be screaming. Yep. He should wake up anytime now. Anytime now.

"Hello? Earth to Troy? You there?" The blonde girl waved a hand in front of his face as he soon snapped back to reality.

"Hey, Sharpay. I'm fine, please stop waving." Sharpay did as she was told and dropped her hand back to her side. Troy looked at her suspiciously. "Are you sure you're all right, Sharpay? You're not sick or something?"

Sharpay shook her head, her blonde hair swishing back and forth. "No, I'm fine. Life's fabulous and I'm not sick. But thank you for asking, though." She flashed him a bright smile as the first period bell rang.

"I'll see you later then, Troy..." Troy saw her cheeks flush pink as she whispered something hardly audible. He shook that idea out of his head.

"Yeah, I'll see you around...Sharpay." He watched as her small figure took long strides from across the hallway, her pink heels clicking and clacking ad she walked. He stood there, watching her disappear until his best friend, Chad, slapped his back.

"Dude, Troy! Hurry up, man! We're gonna be late!" Troy only nodded dumbly as he followed Chad to their first period class. There, he took a seat next to his girlfriend, the ever- oh-so-smart Gabriella Montez. As he sat down, he could hear bits of the conversation she and Taylor were talking.

"Gabs, did you hear, Sharpay likes someone!" Taylor nearly screamed enthusiastically.

"Really, who? Is it Zeke? I feel so bad if it's not him. You know hard he tries." Gabby said sympathetically.

Kelsi popped in. "Nope! It's-" She was cut off as the bell rang, reminding students that class started.

"All right, good morning, class. Please take out your books and turn to page-" Troy stopped listening to his first period teacher as he twirled on his pencil and pretended to copy down notes. He didn't think about what the teacher was talking about, instead his mind was about Sharpay. Why was she so different today? And...who does she like?

End of Chapter 1.
