CHAPTER 1 - INTRO
Zac walked into the office of his agent, dreading another rejection letter or "sorry you're not quite right for the part" lecture from his agent. He wished that she were just honest with him sometimes instead of trying to be nice. He was 18 years old, he could hack the truth now! 'The Derby Stallion' had been fun to do, learning to ride and he met some good people but he was just really hoping that he would be able to make it into something big. He'd auditioned for 4 months for a part in the Disney Channel's made-for-TV movie 'High School Musical'. It wasn't exactly a blockbuster, high budget movie but his agent had assured him that signing a contract with Disney could seriously boost his career, or at least earn some money with him, as usually Disney liked to use the same actors/actresses for various programmes or movies. Ashley Tisdale was rumoured to be involved and she had parts on 'Suite Life of Zac and Cody' and 'Hannah Montana'.
He sat down in one of the overstuffed couches, laying his head back on the back of the chair waiting for Lisa to enter and tell him it was all over, he hadn't been requested to return for final call backs. A click and swish vibrated through the room as a door was opened and a middle aged woman walked into the room, sitting down the other side of the desk. She smiled at Zac as she walked in.
"Morning hunny, how are you?", speaking her usual greeting even though it was 3 in the afternoon
"Hey Lisa, I'm fine, just waiting for the usual disappointment" Zac replied, laughing nervously
"Hey, hey that's no attitude to have. I actually have some really good news for you. Disney wants you in final callbacks. You have an audition at 2.30pm tomorrow. You'll be paired with the same girl again, they're really impressed with you guys"
Zac thought back to all the auditions he had done so far remembering that gorgeous, dark haired young girl he had been paired up with recently in the auditions. Vanessa Hudgens, man she was stunning and such a great actress. She'd already been used by Disney so he'd guessed early on that she'd probably be a dead cert for the role of Gabriella Montez but him….starring opposite her…..could it be?
