This is my first HSM fanfic, hope you like it R&R please, on with the story

Girls are smarter

than boys

"Argh" Sharpay exaggerated as she sat down next to Gabriella.

"What's wrong Shar?" Taylor questioned carefully, not wanting to her head bitten off.

"It's Troy, oh that boy!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"What's he done know?" Taylor continued with the question that one of them asked nearly every day.

"The question is what he hasn't done he's going to a basketball game, instead of coming on a date that we arranged months ago" Sharpay explained.

"Yeah, I know what you mean Ryan's been blowing me off for 'male bonding sessions' whatever those are." Gabriella complained.

"Tay, do you remember that time you were down mine and we decided to go see the boys at Troy's and we saw them drinking and watching basketball, so we just turned back" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah, I remember, them and there so called 'bonding'"

"I guess all our boyfriends are dumb nuts" Kelsi spoke.

"Why? What's happening with you and Jason?" Gabriella asked surprisingly wanting to knew what happened.

"He says that I'm too clingy and I don't have to have him listen to every one of my songs to make sure there all right" Kelsi said softly, tying not to cry.

"But you want his opinion don't you" Taylor questioned as Gabriella and Sharpay nodded in agreement at her statement.

"Yeah but he doesn't understand that" Kelsi said strongly at least her friends understood where she was coming from.

"Is everything good with you and Chad, Tay"

"No, mines worse Chad's going too that game too and on our one year anniversary"

"I would have wring his neck if that was me"

"Don't give me any ideas Shar"

"Yeah, you win hands down, Tay" Gabriella laughed thinking her situation wasn't as bad as Taylor's.

"Thanks, I'm so happy that my fellow peers have given me this great honour to present me with the award for the worst boyfriend" she had her can of coke speaking into it and pretended to wipe a tear away from her face.

All the girls burst out laughing, with Taylor's speech.

Sharpay felt her phone beeping, telling her that she had a message. Everyone continued to laugh as she did, she got her phone out of her purse, and opened the text.

Hey babe, it's me, jst wanted to tell u tht me and the guys are in the gym plying b ball and if u girls want to cme wtch u can, love ya x

"Was that Troy?"

"Yeah"

"He said that he and the guys are playing basketball in the gym if we want to go"

Kelsi gets up.

"Where are you going?"

"To go watch"

"Sit back down missy"

Kelsi sheepishly sat back down, Taylor shook her head at her.

"After everything you told us you want to go watch come on Kels that they expect us to do"

"But we're not going to do"

"You're catching on now"

"What's up Gabby?"

"I'm just thinking if Ryan is with them, I did text him but he hasn't replied"

"That's probably because he's there too where else would he be"

"You are right; he was showing me some of the new basketball skills that he's learned"

"Yeah, he practices everyday" Sharpay commented.

"He told me he's really enjoying it now" Gabriella revealed.

"Yeah, no wonder he's with them all the time, we're going to have four basketball numb heads now" Taylor laughed.

"Yeah soon"

As the girls continued talking Sharpay was thinking about an idea that had come to her, she was developing it and if it would work, it was great full proof.

"Shar"

"Yeah"

"You haven't said anything for a few minutes what's up?" Taylor asked curiously.

"I've got an idea girls"

"Well spill"

"Has anybody got any plans for tonight?"

"No" They all said in unison wondering what this was all about.

"If you do finish them at 6 because, we'll all meet at my house for a sleepover at 6 and I'll tell you then about my plan and we can have girly night"

"Okay, even though I want to know now" Taylor said with her arms folded with a baby face on.

"Yeah, I'm sure my mom will be okay if I finish all my homework by then"

"Sure, I might be a little late but I'll be there"

"That's settled then"

The girls continued to eat their lunches and talk.

Meanwhile at the gym, where the guys are.

"That was a good game" Troy said puffing as he was so tired.

"Yeah"

"That's been the best I've seen you play Ryan"

"Well, what can I say, I've been getting better" he said proudly.

"Dude, did you text Sharpay?" Chad quizzed.

"Yeah, I did, maybe she never got it"

"If you send it she got it, don't worry about that" Ryan laughed.

"Well whatever they were going to do here, their probably doing there and they didn't distract us" Jason explained.

"Yeah actually it's the first game I think we've had out of practice with no distractions"

"That's why we're so tired, next time I'll be sure to call one of them"

The guys laughed at Ryan's joke, knowing that they all got much more tired after normal practice with Coach pushing them so much.

"Come on let's go take catch a shower before lunch ends" Chad stated.

"I agree" Jason laughed.

"Troy"

"Yeah" he answered whilst stopping to listen to what Ryan wanted to say.

"Have you got any clothes I could change into?"

"Yeah sure, I'll wear my sweats; you can wear some that are in my locker they should fit"

"Yeah, I think so" Ryan smiled.

Taylor and Gabriella had history, sharing the class with Jason and Ryan. Kelsi had home economics; Sharpay had chemistry sharing the class with Chad and Troy.

Sharpay seemed really cold towards Troy, and he couldn't figure out why. (boys can be so stupid like that XD)

He didn't sit next to her in Chemistry so he couldn't ask her; she sat next to Kelly, on of her closest friend, out of their group, that was on the cheerleading squad, whilst he sat next to Chad who he always been sitting next to for the last two years.

Ding ding

The bell rang signaling the lesson had ended, finally Troy thought, he looked over to where Sharpay had been sitting and he noticed she had already gone, this was the last lesson of the day as it was a double lesson of Chemistry which was putting Troy to sleep. He figured that she might be at her locker so he picked up his backpack while stuffing his things back into it and said bye to Chad and some of the guys and went in the direction of her locker to see if he could find her.

She was there just like he had thought. He stood behind her locker as she had the door open, she hadn't realized that he was standing there he leaned against the locker next to it waiting for her to finish, he was getting pretty bored waiting, but he knew that she was doing, at this exact time she would be giggling over a picture in her locker, and just as he said he heard a giggle from the other side of the door, he laughed to himself, Sharpay closed her locker with a bang, Troy continued to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing" he continued to laugh, mumbling out an answer.

"So why are you laughing for?"

"Well it's just that when you laughed I knew you were looking at the picture of us"

"How did you know that?" she questioned.

"I've seen you to that routine too many times not to know what you do when"

"Is it now?" she leaned into him to put her arms around his shoulders,

"Yeah" He laughed whilst kissing her.

"What have you got planned for tonight?" he asked as he pulled away.

"Me and the girls are going to have a sleepover"

"Really"

"Yeah" she let her hands drop and went to stand in front of her locker.

"I'm sorry" he resigned himself to apologizing.

"For what?" as she opened her locker again

"For going to the basketball game?"

"I'm not still angry" she said aggressively.

"It seems that way"

"Well, it's not" she spat out.

"How about we spend some time together tomorrow" he tried to come up with a solution,

"We'll see"

"Troy"

"What" he heard his name and knew that voice, replying back angrily because first for interrupting the conversation and two because he knew that Sharpay didn't want to admit the truth to him.

"Man, come on let's go shoot some hoops, Taylor's going to this sleepover at Sharpay's tonight"

"Yeah I know but I wanted to take Sharpay home"

"You don't mind do you Shar?" Chad asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Of course not, have fun" Sharpay giggled at Chad's attempt to get her to agree. Chad stated to walk away knowing that the two would want to say bye to each other and this way he would be able to get to lay ball quicker.

"I love you" he kissed her on her cheek as he jogged after Chad.

"I love you too" she replied as he had already gone.

Sharpay waited for the girls to come, Ryan had gone over to Troy's for the night, to do some male bonding whatever it was this time, so she was a happy she was able to get ready for the sleepover without any hassle and having to throw Ryan out, because she was sure the girls didn't want him hanging around listening to them, will she definitely didn't want him to. Her parents were out on a business trip for the weekend so they wouldn't be around, meaning she and the girls had the house to themselves.

She had got lots of food, such as sweets ice cram, marshmallows and hot chocolate all packed in after she had been to the store, she had half an hour left to get ready she ran upstairs and changed her clothes into something more comfortable, she took some sweats out and looked around for a shirt and grabbed one of Troy's that he had left when he had bought his basketball stuff around and Sharpay had now claimed as hers, she loved wearing it, it smelt of him and it was to sizes too big but she loved it, she ran into the shower and after a record five minutes she got out and put her clothes on and took some facials, make up etc downstairs.

She put it down by the couch and got out all the food out and she had told Ryan before he had left to help her move the table, he had done so, so they had a lot of space where the coffee table should be. She looked around thinking if she had forgotten anything , no , she slumped onto the couch ready as she was out of breath after doing everything so quickly.

She heard the doorbell ring, so much for relaxing, she got up and looked in the hallway mirror and scrunched her hair and opened the door with a smile.

"Hey Shar"

"Hey Tay, Gabby"

"Come on in"

"How come you both came together?"

"I was on my way here so I called Gabby to see how she was doing with getting ready and she said she was she was waiting for her mom to get back from work, so I offered her a lift" Taylor explained.

"Which I gladly took" Gabriella smiled.

"You girls have bought you're overnight stuff"

"I bought mine" Taylor answered as she dangled her bag, which was her school bag.

"Me too" Gabriella laughed.

"We bought some things" Taylor said.

"But we guess we won't need them" Gabriella said amazed as she went into the living room at seeing all the food and make up.

"I'm sure we can use it, put everything down here and come and help me get the sleeping bags and cushions from the closet."

"Where's Kels?"

Ding ding

"That's probably her now"

"I'm sorry I was late guys" Kelsi said as Sharpay opened the door.

"It's okay we haven't really done much yet except for get some sleeping bags and cushions from the closet"

"Oh okay"

"Are you going to stand there all night or come in?" Kelsi smiled as she walked past Sharpay and Sharpay closed the front door.

In the living room, which was an open plan so the kitchen was next to it, the girls had laid the sleeping bags and the cushions down to make it more comfortable.

"Time for me to tell you the plan" Sharpay laughed as she jumped onto the sleeping bag next to the cushion Taylor was sitting on,

"Finally" she exclaimed.

"Listen" Sharpay moved her head in as the girls followed and she told them of her plan

"That is perfect" Taylor replied whilst gulping down her ice cream.

"They'll finally realize our worth" Gabriella shrieked,

"We won't let them get away with this" Kelsi raged.

"Kels you're finally coming around"

"Yeah well I realized that what Jason said to me wasn't right and I shouldn't just let him get away with it"

"Good for you" Taylor smiled, loving the idea the more she heard about it.

"He said I should become a cheerleader to spend more time with him"

"He so did not" Sharpay said in shock, knowing how much Taylor loved who she was and what she represented and Chad asking her to do that, she was sure he got a few slaps around the head for that comment.

"Oh girlfriend he so did" Taylor mimicked, with a funny voice, all the girls giggled at Taylor's story.

"How about this, Ryan-"Gabriella started,

"Let's start with the facials" Sharpay interrupted the conversation as she opened a sachet starting to take Kelsi's glasses off. Taylor shuffled so she was sitting opposite Gabriella and did the same. They continued to share stories and eat ice cream and sweets.

"Oh my god my sides hurt"

"Ditto"

"Why don't we take our masks off as we have had them on for about 5 minutes too long and changed into our pyjamas and watch a movie?" Sharpay suggested.

"Yeah that sounds good". Kelsi agreed.

They had all settled to watch the movie 'John Tucker Must Die', it had started Sharpay was getting bored having already watched it with Kelly (her cheerleader friend) three times because she had loved it so much after having seen it in the cinema the DVD was actually Kelly's which she had bought over for the two to watch the last time she had stayed over and forgotten, she picked up the cushion from under her head and threw it at Taylor.

"Oi" she screamed in laughter as her popcorn bowl fell to the floor.

"Oops"

"You are so going to pay for that" she said as she chased Sharpay around the room, she picked up a cushion from the couch and threw it aiming it at Sharpay, she had moved out the way causing it to hit Gabriella who had been laughing at the two of them happily.

"Why did you hit me for?" Gabriella folded her arms and made a sad baby face.

"I'm sorry babe" Taylor said as she walked over to Gabriella and gave her a hug, Gabriella smacked a cushion on her head.

"Got you back" Gabriella giggled as she jumped up.

Sharpay grabbed a cushion and threw it hard at Kelsi.

"Pillow fight" Taylor screamed as she grabbed another cushion.

This was a good part to end it at. The plan will be revealed in the next chapter and we will find out the boy's reactions too, and the games will start. Hope you enjoyed it please R&R because I don't know if you liked it or not then. If you've survived this long, thank you.
