Chapter 1 - Coffee Stains Ice

He groaned as he turned his head just as his father opened the drapes allowing the bright morning sun to pour through the room.

"Are you just going to lay there Troy?" Asked Jack in annoyance.

"Yes I am. Now a little privacy would be nice." Troy said as he pulled the warm comforter up over his head only to have his father pull it back down. Sighing, knowing he wasn't going to get his way, he sat upright and turned to his father.

"Oh fine Dad geez!" Jack smiled to himself knowing he had won. "Breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes so get showered up!" Jack said before leaving the room, shutting the door behind him.

Troy sighed and let his head fall back to the pillow. Today was the first day as a senior and his dad had been talking about it ever since he finished his Junior year. A lot of things had changed in Junior year. Starting with the newly couple, Ryan and Gabriella. They had been dating for almost 3 months now and they seemed to be doing better than great. Of course after all the post-breakup awkwardness phase had drifted away, Troy had become good friends with Ryan and was honestly happy for the couple. Ryan had even started coaching Troy with Baseball for the staff game they had coming next summer at Lava Springs. Besides the drama of it all, Lava Springs payed him exceptionally well and he couldn't pass up the offer to work there again. It's not like there would be drama again since Sharpay had become friends with the group.

Troy groaned and rubbed his eyes with his hands remembering he would have to face her for, yet again, another year. It's not that he had a problem with her, except well, he did. She was just so ice-queenish. Way to stubborn to actually have a real conversation with her. She had dyed her hair back to her original colour, brunette, last year trying to lose her ice facade. He knew for a fact changing the colour of hair doesn't automatically change someone's personality. That's exactly why he was still having trouble trusting her and becoming friends. Pssh like that would ever happen.

"Troy I don't hear water running!" His dad hollered from downstairs.

Turning quickly to look at his alarm clock he realized he had been daydreaming for the full 10 minutes he was supposed to be getting ready in. Jumping off his bed and into his bathroom, he couldn't help but wonder what the day would bring him.

"Troy!" Chad yelled trying his hardest not to run into anyone while running down the long hallway.

Slowing turning around to see his best friend come running towards him brought a smile to his face. "Hey Chad!" he said while doing their secret handshake "You're here early"

"And so are you I see." Chad smirked and started walking down the hall alongside Troy.

"Yeah well seems my dad wants me here extra early. Something about my duties as a senior – I don't know I wasn't really listening." He said opening his locker and getting his necessary things for Home Room.

"Oh your dad's doing that too? My dad has gone completely crazy about it. He even mentioned dinner with the coach of the Red Hawks."

"Well you know he is a nice man" A voice came from around the corner.

"Ryan! Hey man!" Troy said once again doing their secret handshake he was doing with Chad previously.

"Hey guys. Wow both of you are here early" he commented opening his locker across the hall from them, next to a certain pink locker.

"Long story" Troy said shaking his head. The school was certainly the same as last year. He still had his basketball portrait hanging proudly in his locker along with a picture of all his friends, taken after the championships in his sophomore. He laughed lightly at the picture. Somewhere behind Chad's big afro was a very jealous and angry Sharpay Evans. The look on her face could make anyone wince, so he quickly looked away.

With a bang, the entrance doors swung open and there she was. The ice queen. Ms Sharpay Evans.

He rolled his eyes at her dramatic entrance and didn't even make a comment to her as she stopped right across the hall.

"Danforth, move!" she said with an icy stare.

"Oh sorry Evans didn't know this was your locker" He matched her stare then broke out into a smile, hugging her tight "Aww I missed this over summer!"

Laughing, Sharpay pulled back to look at him and ruffle his hair, which she just loved to do "Me too Chad. How was your summer?" She opened her locker and started fixing her hair.

Troy rolled his eyes not even bothering to listen anymore. He seriously couldn't believe Chad fell for her innocent act. Obviously she wanted something from them and she would even be-friend Chad to do it. He walked away from his friends and down the familiar long hallway. Not caring that he was 10 minutes early he entered Ms Darbus' classroom and sat down in his seat.

He sighed and sunk further down into his chair. 'Ok Troy stop thinking about how much you hate her and think of something positive. Like the Basketball game on Friday!' That brought a smile to his face. Anything related to his favourite sport and he was as happy as a cheerleader winning Prom Queen.

Wildcats vs. Knights were always a crowd pleaser. Not because of the high scores, the 3 pointers or even the cheerleaders who did a very entertaining routine for the guys (the girlfriends weren't so happy) but because of the rivalry between both captains. Troy Bolton vs. Jared Payton. Oh that one was a definitely a crowd pleaser. Heck they should even change the name of the game from Basketball to "Who can glare the longest while bouncing a ball".

His thoughts were jolted when the bell rang and students poured into the classroom. He saw Chad enter and gave him a fist bump as he past him to get to his own seat. Sharpay entered, sidekick in left hand, Starbucks in the right hand. Troy couldn't help but laugh as a student was rushing past her and accident spilt some of her searing hot Coffee down the front of her white shirt.

"Ahhhh!!! Oh my god, Oh my god!". She tried fanning her chest with her hands which did very little to very hot coffee.

"Oh gosh Sharpay I'm so sorry I didn't me-"

"No it's ok" She said to the student who had rushed past her to get to his seat. Still trying to fan herself by now using her shirt, she hadn't realized her white button up shirt had gone completely see-through revealing everyone to her pink lacy bra.

Troy stared at Sharpay as she continued fanning herself, wide eyed. Of course after all he was a guy so he stared at her cleavage. 'Wow...Whoa stop looking!'. He tore his eyes away from her and notice most of the guys looking at her also followed but loud whacks as their girlfriends hit them.

"Ok children settled down" Ms Darbus announced as she walked into the classroom to see Sharpay standing at the front of the room still furiously using her hands to cool herself.

"Ms Darbus can I be excused for 5 minutes?"

Darbus' eyes looked down and saw the coffee stain on her t-shirt, and unfortunately her very visible bra.

"Uh yes dear take your time" She leant forward and whispered so no one else heard "And you might want to cover yourself on your way out"

Confused, Sharpay looked down and noticed just how see-through white shirts can get.

"Oh crap!" She shrieked her eyes going wide as she covered herself by crossing her arms across her chest. "T-Thankyou Ms" she stuttered as she embarrassingly walk/ran out of the classroom and down to her locker.

"Now I know why she has half her wardrobe in her locker" Chad joked to Troy.

Troy laughed and shook his head. God the things Coffee can do to people.
