Nineteen year old Troy Bolton, dribbled the ball towards the hoop, he shoots, a hand intercepts the ball and spikes it towards the ground. Troy growled in frustration.
"What? College Basketball Star, Troy Bolton, cant shoot a basket? You suck!" His best friend Sharpay Evans sneered.
Sharpay Evans was not like other girls. Unlike them, she didn't care about makeup or clothes and shoes. She was a total tomboy. From her short pixie cut to her black and white keds.
"Hey! I have a lot on my mind! I have an English exam in two hours!" Troy defended himself.
Sharpay cocked an eyebrow. "Then why don't you go study rather than shoot hoops, which you clearly suck at?"
"First of all, why would I spend my free time studying? And second of all, I so do not suck! Im captain for hell's sake!" Troy scowled at her.
Sharpay returned the look. "Let's go, I think we got enough practice."
Troy and Sharpay left the gym. Sharpay stared at him. Sharpay has always had a crush on Troy Bolton. Those blue pools, he calls eyes, tan skin, heart melting smile.
They were just walking past the auditorium when they heard a girl sing.They popped their heads in.
You are fine
You are sweet
But im still a bit naive with my heart
When you're close, I don't breathe
I cant find the words to speak
I feel sparks
But I don't wanna be into you
If you're not looking for true love
Oh woah
I don't wanna start seeing you
If I cant be your only one
[Chorus
So tell me, if it's not alright
When it's not okay
Will you try to make me feel better
Will you say alright
Will you say okay
Will you stick with me through whatever
Or run away
Say ok
When you call, I don't know, if I should pick up the phone, every time
Im not like all my friends who keep calling up the boys, Im so shy
But I don't wanna be into you
If you don't treat me the right way
See I can only start seeing you
If you can make my heart feel safe
Feel safe
[Repeat Chorus
Let me know that it's gonna be you
Boy, you got some things to prove
Let me know that you'll keep me safe
I don't want you to run away so
Let me know that you'll call on time
Let me know that you'll help me shine
Will you wipe my tears away
Will you hold me closer
[Chorus
Troy unknowingly started clapping. The girl turned towards them, blushing furiously. Troy thought she was the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen. She had dark brown curls, sparkly brown eyes, and coffee colored skin.
"You are very talented, you know." Troy smiled at her.
"Thanks. Im new here so I was venting out my nervousness." The girl giggled.
"Im Troy Bolton," Troy shot her his award winning smile.
"Im Gabriella Montez," Gabriella smiled warmly.
Sharpay looked back and forth and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
"Hi! Im Sharpay! Nice to meet you!" Sharpay tried to sound cheerful even though she clearly was annoyed.
"Hi!" Gabriella smiled at her.
"So, can I give you a tour of the college campus?" Troy asked.
"I'd like that," Troy and Gabriella took off for the classrooms leaving Sharpay no choice but to chase after them.
7 months later
Sharpay could only look on as Troy and Gabriella became closer and closer. Sharpay got the feeling that Troy was falling in love with Gabriella and that filled her heart with sorrow.
"Hey Sharpay!" Gabriella walked up to her.
Sharpay closed her eyes and turned around with a big smile on her face. "Hi Gabriella!"
"As you know, the end of college dance is coming up! Isn't it so great that were graduating? I am so excited!" Gabriella's perkiness was one of the things that Sharpay disliked about her. No matter how nice and sweet Gabriella is, Sharpay will always secretly dislike her. Mostly because she stole Troy's heart.
"So who are you going to the dance with?" Sharpay asked.
"Troy, of course! You know, not many people know this, but we have been secretly dating!" Gabriella smiled giddily.
Sharpay's heart broke a little. "You've been dating?" Sharpay thought she was about to cry.
"Ever since the week I came to this place! So who are you going to the dance with?" Gabriella was totally oblivious to the fact that Sharpay's voice was crackling.
"Nobody. Im used to it though. No one ever asks me out at dances. Probably because Im such a tomboy," Sharpay shrugged.
"Oh come on! What's not to like about you?" Gabriella asked.
"Oh please! Gabriella, you know just as well as I do that Im not an attraction. I have an ugly haircut, baggy clothes, no sense of style at all, there's no hope." Sharpay sighed.
"Why don't you change?" Gabriella asked.
"No one's ever gonna get me in a dress or a skirt!" Sharpay walked away.
Gabriella shrugged and skipped away happily.
The End of College Dance
"Troy, are you going to do it tonight?" Troy's best friend Chad asked.
"Yeah," Troy nodded.
Troy turned around and nearly spat out his drink. Sharpay was in her normal attire, wearing a red head band, white tee shirt and red overalls. But Gabriella...Gabriella was gorgeous. Her hair was down is curls, she wore an unslutty short black dress with black heels. Gabriella ran over and hugged Troy and Sharpay gave a weak smile. Troy and Sharpay weren't as close as they used to be, ever since Gabriella came. Troy and Gabriella danced most of the night and Sharpay just sat on the edge drinking soda and eating cake.
Then towards the end of the night, Troy got up on stage and called for an announcement.
"Hey guys! Well our senior year has come to an end! Well, a lot of you don't know but Gabriella and I have been secretly dating ever since she arrived," Everyone gasped. Gabriella had a confused look on her face. Sharpay's heart starting breaking a bit.
"Well, it's leads all to one thing. Gabriella Vanessa Maria Montez, will you marry me?" Troy showed her the ring. Gabriella gasped and ran up to him.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Gabriella hugged him and they kissed passionately.
Sharpay's heart broke in half. She burst into tears and ran out of the room.
In a matter of months, Troy and Gabriella graduated and got married. Sharpay was left heartbroken.
And that is the sad end! Just kidding! Did you like it? Hate it? OMG, it killed me to write so much Troyella! Arrgh! Well, the next chappy is where the real story begins! All this was just the set up. Long reviews please!
