A/N This is my first High School Musical story, but it's not my first fanfiction. I have also wirtten a Summerland one, which I posted on Feel free to submit a review with suggestions for the story. I love reviews!

Disclamer I do not own the Disney Channel Original Movie "High School Musical", or any characters or settings affiliated with it. If I did, Troypay would be together.

PART 1

They passed each other in the hallway everyday. Their eyes would meet. They'd share a glance and for those few moments the world seemed to stop. He always defended her when his friends would call her the "Ice Princess".

She pretended to hate him for stealing her spotlight. But secretly, she didn't care. It was all an act to protect herself from heartbreak. It never worked. She loved him from afar, and, everytime she saw him with Gabriella her heart shattered into a thousand pieces.

His friends would never understand. They didn't know the real Sharpay. The Sharpay that he was best friends with until middle school. They couldn't see past her icy glares and rude remarks. He knew it was all his fault, though. If he hadn't hurt her she would still be the old Sharpay. The Sharpay that would spend hours just sitting under the stars with him.

That all changed during that one day that neither of them would ever forget. It was Valentines Day.

--Flashback--

Sharpay put on her cutest outfit. She made sure her hair and makeup was perfect. Today was that day that she was going to finally let her best friend know how she felt. She walked in to school with her stomach in knots. How would Troy react, she wondered? She thought he liked her, too. But what if she was wrong? What if he only liked her as a friend?

She slowly walked up to his locker where he was surrounded by the basketball team. Even in middle school he was the star.

"Um, Troy?" she cautiously asked.

Troy quickly turned around at the sound of her voice. "Hey, Sharpay. Whats up?"

Sharpay was about to forget about her plan, but suddenly found herself blurting out, "Will you be my Valentine, Troy?"

Troy didn't know what to say. He secretly had feelings for her, but he didn't realize that she felt the same. He was about to accept when Chad interfered. "Sharpay, we're kind of busy here. Why don't you just leave?" Chad had always hated Sharpay because he felt like she was more important to Troy than basketball was.

Sharpay quickly looked to Troy hoping that he would ignore Chad. "Um, Chad's right, Shar. The big games coming up and there is a lot we need to do to get ready. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

Troy immediately regretted saying that. Why had he just turned down the girl of his dreams?

Sharpay suddenly felt tear swell up in her eyes. She turned and ran to the bathroom.

Troy Bolton had broke her heart, and she was going to make sure that that never happened again.

--End Flashback--

A/N The first few chapters are kind of short like this. I already have 3 written, but after that I might need suggestions. The chapters will start to get longer as the plot thickens and the story progresses. I can't wait to see what you all think!
