I don't know about this story but it's a Zashley and yes, about the Zanessa comic, it's true. But if you are really a 'Zanessa' fan, no offense with the first chapter

Why don't I own the HSM cast? Because my daddy won't buy them for me, he said the DVD, CD, and poster are enough.
Chapter 1
Rumors
A little jealousy is healthy; it's always nice to know that someone is afraid to lose you
Ashley Tisdale
Afraid to lose
Zac Efron
She threw the latest issue of Tiger beat out from her sight. She couldn't believe that they made 8 pages of 'Zanessa' comic. First was a Valentine card in J-14 and now a comic, what's next, a wedding ring?
She wanted to be happy for them, she wanted to feel glad for them, but also she couldn't help to feel jealous for her. She threw herself back to her white silk covers. She inhaled a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. She wanted to stab herself for joining High School Musical. If she knew that she would feel like this now, she wouldn't listen to her manager's words.
She didn't care if she wouldn't have all the attention she was getting now, all the attention now were almost on 'Zanessa'. Suddenly, all the interviews, magazine's covers, photo shoots, awards, didn't seem to be important for her anymore. When she was still working in A&F, she used to adore Hollywood. But now she just wished that she could trade her Hollywood with him. She just wanted to get out from her feelings now; she wished that she had never met him before.
She knew him first, then why he always made an appearance with her? 'Zashley' rumors comes before 'Zanessa', then why it all changing so sudden now? Everyone saw them kissing in TSL, then why he was staring in her music video? He hung out in her place more, then why the press said they were dating? They told that they were just good friends, then why the poll shows everyone wanted 'Zanessa' to be?
She was not mad at Vanessa; she was glad that she found the right man. Him. But what bugged her is all the press. Why they have to make a magazine, why they have to assume people dating, why they have to interview stars when they knew the answer already, what's so special, why they have to make a Zanessa comic?
She was really happy for Vanessa with him. Vanessa seemed like living her dream now. She met a guy in a movie set, people assumed they were dating… and soon they were going to confess they were hiding it, and they lived happily ever after. Now, she regretted telling magazines that He and she were just friends… who know each other really much
They knew each other very much. That was a fact no one could change. From the beginning of Summerland, his best friend introduced them together. She swore she had a crush when she first met him, but now it was more than a crush. She was a little bumped when she knew that she was auditioning for Sharpay, if she knew he was there, she would've auditioned for Gabriella. But there was no way that she could pull off that act, Vanessa deserved it. But she wanted to be Vanessa, she wanted to have a video with him, she wanted to got a Valentine's card for him, she wanted to kiss him even just on set. Even he claimed that she was more a best friend to him than all the HSM casts, she wanted to be more than just that. She needed something more.
They were on Punk'd together, but did the press take it as they were together? No, because they weren't, even they were going shopping together. He would never ask Vanessa to shop with him, he only asked Vanessa to attend Red Carpet events. Well, he didn't know that he was Punk'd. So what's the deal? He didn't ask her to appear in public's eye with him but he asked for her in general? What's wrong with her? Why he didn't want to be catch just alone with her in public? Because of rumors? Oh no, no one paid attention to 'Zashley' anymore. News changed fast
Some people might think that Vanessa was pathetic to put him in her music video, Ashley didn't. She always put her feelings aside and supported her friend. She couldn't fight for her feelings. In her book, friends come first, she second.
She turned on the TV. Disney was the last thing she needed. So, she changed the channel. She turned to MTV
Guess what?
It was Vanessa's video with him
You are fine
You are sweet
But I'm still a bit naive with my heart
When you're close I don't breathe
I can't find the words to speak
I feel sparks
But I don't wanna be into you
If you are not looking for true love, oh oh
No I don't wanna start seeing you
If I can't be your only one
"Hey"
She let out a soft groan so he couldn't hear it. She always hated how he always appeared at the 'not-so-right' time
"Hi" she fixed her eyes on the magazine once again
Even how much she hated to be surrounded by 'Zanessa', no one can escape entertainment.
He took a seat beside her on her bed and looked at what she was doing
"I see you can't get enough of me"
"Shut up. It's not my fault" she said half joking
"Oh really?"
So tell me when it's not alright
When it's not ok
Will you try to make me feel better?
Will you say alright? (Say alright)
Will you say ok? (Say ok)
Will you stick with me through whatever?
Or run away
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be ok)
Say Ok.
"She looked great there" she said after seconds of silence
He really didn't want to reply that one. So he just kept quiet and watched the plasma screen TV.
Seeing him watching the screen intensely, she decided to look the magazine again. First 'Zashley' rumor come up, second 'Zanessa' rumor come up, then a poll of 'Zanessa and Zashley', fourth a Valentine's note, and lastly the comic. Even how much she used to love these things when she hadn't famous yet, now she hated teen magazines.
When you call I don't know if I should pick up the phone every time
I'm not like all my friends who keep calling up the boys, I'm 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)
She wanted to scream her heart out to tell him. But she couldn't. Now, the only thing she could do is just forget about it
She switched the TV off
"Hey!"
"What?" she threw the magazine to her mahogany table beside her bed
"You prohibited me from looking at my gorgeous self?" he put one hand on his chest
She couldn't stay mad at him too long. He was making it hard. She let out a chuckle
"I wouldn't… If only you want to pay my electricity bills. Besides, the mirror is so much useful" she stared at him while standing in front of her mirror which hanged perfectly on her creamy white wallpaper
"Come on… we could use some MTV" he switched on the TV again
It was Punk'd this time. He shot a look to her and she sat back again next to him
Why he was everywhere? She rolled her eyes as she saw another goofy smile crept across his face when he found out that he was once again, there.
"You know… I really didn't think you were that evil"
"What evil?" she shot him an innocent look
But he wasn't buying that look
"You little miss innocent, you help them to get me"
A smile crept her face
"I couldn't say no to that. I, myself, would love to see the perfect Zac Efron cursed. And you did!" she said happily
"Shut up" he throw a pillow to her
Her perfect golden locks were in front of her face when the fluffy pillow hit her head
"You didn't just do that!"
"Considering that messed up hair… I think I did" he replied back playfully
"You are so dead!"
She took a pillow and began chasing him across her enormous room. When she decided not to chase him anymore, she threw the pillow right hitting his head.
"Oh now look who get a messy hair" she smirked in satisfaction
"Hey, you do too" he sat back to his place on her bed
"Did you know how long it takes to do my hair?" she flipped her bangs back and sat beside him
"Don't know, don't care" he mumbled under his breath
When they turned they attention back on the TV, Zac was already finished getting Punk'd. And now, it was Ashley's turn
"Are MTV having a Disney marathon today?" she groaned and leaned her head back
"I haven't seen you get Punk'd before" he smirked
She quickly grabbed the remote and turned it off before he got more of her getting Punk'd
"Ashley" he sang her name
"Don't think for a second you're getting more of me in that show!" she said
They just kept their smiles in their faces for a few more seconds and the whole room felt in silence
He walked to her and wrapped his arms around her hips. He rested his chin on her cold shoulder and stared lovingly on their reflection in the mirror in front of them. Ashley just wanted to close her eyes shut tightly and get rid of the image of how loveable she and he were. How much she wanted that image, she couldn't keep it. It would just made her get… yet, another reason why there was 'Zanessa'
"You're cold" he said as he tighten his grip around her
"I know" she said softly
"Why?" now he started to ask random questions
"I don't know" she kept her low voice
Her body's coldness and his warmth touches mingled together as their skins touched.
"Ashley…" he finally spoken after a few moments of silence
"Huh?" she answered while shutting both her eyes
"V asked me out"
I always keep bumping into you
everywhere I go I find you
why? Maybe this could be fate's
way of bringing us together or
Maybe fate's just rubbing the fact
that I can't have you
Ashley Tisdale
Can't have
Zac Efron
