well, here it is! the first chapter of the sequel to "Adventures Through Senior Year"!! i hope you enjoy it:)

Disclaimer: Still own nothing. Except for natalie and the other extra character in this chapter.

It is now January 9th: the first day back to school for the second semester of East High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ryan Evans, Natalie Summers, Sharpay Evans, and Troy Bolton didn't really do much of anything after they got back home from their ski trip. The only major event that had really happened since they got home was the New Year's Eve party at Troy's house. Everyone had come, including Chad Danforth, Taylor McKessie, Jason Cross, Kelsi Neilson, and even Gabriella Montez had gotten to come. At midnight, all the guys kissed their girlfriends, leaving poor Gabriella out. Feeling bad for her, Troy gave her a kiss on the cheek, with Sharpay's permission of course.

Other than that, Troy played basketball a lot with Zeke, Jason, and Chad, which he hadn't done in a while. A couple of days ago, though, he had gotten the flu and wasn't able to do anything for the rest of the break. He was well enough to come back to school, but was still pretty weak. Natalie, Sharpay, and Ryan hung out a lot at Natalie's house, since the twins were still there. Well, Ryan hung out with Natalie and Sharpay for a while, but then got tired of 'girl talk' and started hanging out with Troy and some of the other guys.

Troy, Ryan, Natalie, and Sharpay were now at their lockers, grabbing their stuff and then heading towards homeroom. As Troy was leaving his locker, he was greeted by an old girlfriend of his.

"Hey Troysie." The girl said, obviously trying to flirt with him.

"What do you want Amber?" Troy said, annoyed by this girl, since he basically hated her and definitely didn't want to talk to her.

"Aww, what's the matter Troy? You can't even say 'Hi' to me?" She said, getting close to him. He backed up, and was, unfortunately, now pushed against the lockers.

"Amber, I don't want to talk to you." Troy said, with anger in his voice.

"Come on Troy. You know you still love me." She said, pinning him to the lockers.

"Get away from me Amber! I have a girlfriend and I love her very much." Troy said, his voice raising with each sentence and also trying to push her away. Unfortunately, she was surprisingly stronger than he was, he was still weak from being sick the past couple of days and she didn't move.

"Troy, you know you love me. Not her. She's the Ice Queen remember?" She said, making her face only inches away from his.

"No, she's not. She's changed and is super sweet, unlike you." Troy said, still trying to slip away. It wasn't working.

"You're just in denial. You know I am your true love. How could you leave me for her? I'm actually an athlete, a fellow basketball player. She's an over-groomed, spoiled brat, singing, dancing, acting, over-dramatic drama geek!"

"No she's not! She is loving and caring and sweet, unlike you! And in case you forgot, I'm also in drama, so I guess I'm a drama geek to!"

"Oh Troy, you look so hot when you're mad."

"Amber, stop flirting! I don't like you! Get it through your thick head! I have a girlfriend!"

"Oh Troy, just shut up and kiss me." Amber said as she leaned in and Troy tried to push away, but once again, it didn't work. Amber was kissing him smack on the lips, and Troy had no strength against her.

Unfortunately for him, Natalie, Ryan, and Sharpay turned the corner and Sharpay saw Troy and Amber kissing. She dropped her books from the shock and they landed on Ryan's foot.

"Ow. Shar, why'd you drop-" He said as he looked up at what Sharpay was staring in shock at. "Oh my gosh."

"What?" Natalie said, still not realizing what they were looking at. She followed Ryan's stare over to Troy and Amber.

"Troy?" Sharpay said, as she started to cry. Troy and Amber heard her and then looked over and saw Sharpay, Ryan, and Natalie standing there.

"Shar-" Troy started.

"Save it Troy." She said, cutting him off, and then ran off. Natalie followed her, after giving Troy an evil glare. Ryan soon followed both of them, but only after also giving Troy a glare that, if looks could kill, Troy would be dead by mow.

"Thanks a lot Amber." Troy said as he ran off after the other three.
