Summary: Sharpay Evans was annoying. That was the opinion Taylor McKessie had for her until the summer she got that job at Lava Springs, and what happens when the Golden Couple starts to fall apart?

Pairings: Canon (Troyella, Chaylor, Jelsi) but won't stay that way. If you are a hugh Troyella fan and think they are the best couple ever and they would never fight or break-up, you shouldn't read this and should probably go back and watch the movies because you are missing a hugh part of the story.

Timeline: About a week or two after the second movie. I'm going to put it as they get out of school the begining of June maybe even a little earlier. States farther south get out of school earlier, right? because it's warm, right? I'm also going to say that the whole movie only takes place in about a week, two at the most, so it's not even July yet when the movie is over. Plenty of time for drama and "summer romance".

A/n: This is dedicated to StillThereForMe because I was reading their profile and I got to the part about Shaylor and I was inspired, or maybe it is just a thank you. Whatever the case may be, enjoy!

"Annoying"

Chapter 1: "Irritation"

Sharpay Evans was annoying. At least that was the opinion Taylor McKessie had for the 5'3", well 5'7", once you count the heels and the hair, blonde girl. This feeling was set back when they were both in the same third grade class and she stole her snack and pulled her hair everyday.

The next year they were in separate classes and they rarely saw each other. This situation continued right until their junior year of high school.

It was slightly changed when the whole "callbacks" thing happened. Taylor noticed that Sharpay had changed. She was still annoying, but now she was egotistical and just plain old mean.

However, it didn't matter because the school year was over. Summer had started and things were supposed to get better. Taylor had a job with her friends at a fancy country club. It was the last summer they together had before they truly had to worry about college and the future, not saying Taylor hadn't spend many hours with preparation, because she already had everything in its place. She needed to make the best of their first and last summer together.

Of course things could never go right for Taylor. She, and what seemed to be the rest of the East High student body, just happened to get hired by the country club that Sharpay's parents owned. Taylor knew that there was something up and Sharpay just was the root of it. She was right, but when it came to Sharpay's schemes Taylor could always see right through them.

The whole "Star Dazzle" talent show thing was annoying. Poor Gabriella.

Taylor didn't believe that Sharpay was trying to better herself afterwards. Even though she gave the award to Ryan, she had a feeling that nothing was going to change.

She was right again, nevertheless things still changed since everything always changes.

It wasn't Sharpay that changed; it was the world around her. He twin, who made friends with the Wildcats while she was ignoring him, was spending more time with said boys. Plus her three friends, aptly known as "The Sharpettes" to some, went back to their own family's country clubs, which left Sharpay alone.

Sharpay had a relatively short attention span when it came to ordinary activities. She could only sit by the pool for some many hours a day. That was when she had someone to talk to. These days she didn't. Therefore, she was rarely there unless when she was tanning. Which was barely an activity itself.

She was uninterested with reading magazines. She didn't care about Britney, J-lo or Paris. They were just inadequate versions of her, and what was the point in practically looking in a mirror unless one were checking one's appearance?

She didn't like watching television. It felt like a waste of a time when there were better, more fulfilling things out there.

She couldn't practice anything musically because Ryan was with the Wildcats when they weren't working. And when they were he wasn't anywhere she looked or he was busy practicing baseball. Since he was practically obsessed with since the employee game. Which was not a bad thing, just an inconvenient one, because when it came to physical activities like golf or even baseball, she didn't want to play them. She was fantastic at both, but it was relatively slow paced and dry. She needed something excited.

She was bored. She was reduced to people watching. They were there and she needed something to do while getting a tan. She saw the members walking around. They were like zombies. They needed excitement, like she did. They needed activities that stimulated their minds, like she did.

She secretly wanted everyone to be happy. She liked to think of herself as a humanitarian. She thought of ways to think of ways to get them what they needed.

Finally she had a perfect idea to satisfy both their needs.

Sharpay speedily walked down the hall toward the yoga room. He mother was there as usual and she needed to clear her brilliant idea with her first.

"Mother, can I talk to you?" she asked standing at the end of a yoga mat.

Her mother stood up, "what do you need pumpkin?"

"I had a brilliant idea. How about I become the new Activities Coordinator? This place needs a new pace and a dash of fabulous." She said eagerly smiling and nodding.

Her mother stood there a moment as if in deep thought, then finally said, "That's a wonderful idea, but we already have someone doing that."

"I know, but we can just fire them and give me it instead," she said like it was no big deal.

Mrs. Evans rolled her eyes, "Pumpkin, I thought you learned something from what happened a couple weeks ago."

"I know, but this is different. Please!" She whined.

Again she was silent, but then she had an epiphany, "I'll let you work with them. You can be their assistant." She said happily. She knew her daughter didn't have that many close friends that she went to school with, so this could help push her towards them.

"But mother..." She started, but she cut off.

"That is my decision, and if you don't like it you don't have to do anything." She said with a twinge of anger Sharpay hasn't seen from her mother in a long time.

"Fine whatever." She said walking away defeated.

--

"Miss Mckessie," Mr. Fulton called, "I need to speak with you a moment."

Taylor was not bothered at all, her position called for a lot of one on one conversations with this man. She just wasn't ready for this information.

"What do you need?" She asked eager for whatever job she was to be given.

"Starting tomorrow you will be having an assistant," He informed her.

Immediately all emotion in her face was changed to worry, "Is there something wrong with my performance?"

"No, it's nothing like that, the head of the board just thought it would be a good idea," He said correcting her.

"Oh, that's good. Could you by chance tell me who it is?" She asked cautiously.

"Miss Evans."

--

Taylor was furious. She knew Sharpay was up to something. She was a self-centered bitch and she was clearly trying to steal her job. Taylor also knew that she was good at her job. She rather liked it and decided that she wasn't going to let some Barbie doll take it away without a fight. The fact that she even had to go through this was utterly annoying.

A/n: This chapter is nothing compared to the rest of the story, so don't give up because you hate it. I kind of hate it myself but you have to start somewhere and set the stage. Just to warn you this is like a rough draft, so it will go through some revising at a later date. This is the first one of a lengthy series. I'm looking for a beta to help me with this story, so if you are interested I would love to have you help. Thanks for reading!
