Chapter One: Enmity

"Troy Troy, over here!" a group of sophomore girls exclaimed.

"Troy my man! Great game last night, want to go shoot some pool later?" a kid who looked like a freshman exclaimed.

Troy Bolton strutted down the hallway with his hand in his jean pockets as he walked down the hallway that he seemed to think he owned. "No can do bud, I got plans with the fam," Troy said to him before turning the corner where other people were trying to get his attention.

Troy Bolton was everyone's dream guy; he was tall, handsome, smart, athletic, and a golden boy. Everyone wanted to be his friend and girls wanted to be his girlfriend, but that department was taken though. Troy had girlfriends, that's right he had more than one girlfriend and poor them they didn't know that he was dating other girls. Troy was the all-star on the varsity basketball team and he was only a junior but he started on the varsity since his freshman year. Outside of school basketball, he plays on a select team called the Star Elite. As you can see, he has his life already the way he wants it. The perfect life for the perfect guy.

As he took the corner of one of the hallways, he ran into his friends; the only ones he considered real and true friends, Chad and Zeke. Chad and Zeke also played on both basketball teams with Troy. They've all been friends since they were in elementary and since then they've been the best of friends. Chad was tall and had big curly afro hair, he was more of the nice one out of them all and then there was Zeke; the sensitive one. Zeke loved to bake and hang with his friends. Basketball isn't his first priority but he still loves it.

"Sup dude," Zeke said and did the guy handshake with Troy. Zeke had a girlfriend; she went by the name Sharpay. Sharpay was something special, she wasn't afraid to speak her mind and she dressed however she wanted. She was one of the popular girls at the school and she was an important person to the role of theater.

Troy smiled, "Hey Zeke, hey Chad," Troy said and did the same handshake with Chad.

Chad smirked, "I see the sophomore girls are looking your way bro," he laughed. Chad wasn't dating anyone at the moment. He had a huge crush on this girl though, but he didn't tell anyone because she was a genius as in she was extremely smart that when he was around her he feels really dumb.

Troy shrugged his shoulders carelessly; "the females are cool people, but I don't date younger girls…" he stopped and laughed because he knew that wasn't true.

"Right," Chad rolled his eyes. "Well you better hope Krissy doesn't find out," Chad told Troy. Krissy was one of Troy's girlfriend.

"And you better hope that Marissa doesn't find out either about them and Krissy," Zeke added. Marissa was Troy's other girlfriend who went to another school.

Troy rolled his eyes, "they won't find out because you two aren't going to say anything, I trust you two enough to know not to say anything, anyway let's go to class before Darbus gets on our asses about it." The three of them went down the hallway and started for homeroom. These three really owned the school.

"Look at those guys, they think they own the school," Taylor said as she leaned against her friend's locker. Taylor was watching Troy, Chad, and Zeke stroll down the hallway. Taylor knew Chad liked her, but she had her guard way up to let a guy like that into her life. She was fragile and everyone knew it. Taylor McKessie was not your average girl, she was a really smart girl, but she was beautiful as well. She wasn't afraid to tell someone off, but she was nice at the same time.

"My boyfriend looks so cute…" Sharpay ignored whatever Taylor said and sigh with happiness. She waved at her boyfriend and then looked at her friends who were rolling their eyes at her. "What? I can't help that I'm in love," she said, grinning. "And don't even deny that you don't think Troy is beautiful," Sharpay added.

Gabriella Montez closed her locker and crossed her arm before she looked at her friend Sharpay. "Right, and so is a donkey," she said sarcastically. Gabriella Montez was the other "it" girl. She was the girl version of Troy, except she didn't have boyfriends and she didn't think she was better than everyone else and instead of playing basketball she played volleyball. Gabriella was 5'7", tall, slim, smart, and athletic. She had brown hair and brown eyes to go along with it. She was a beautiful girl, but she never took her looks for granted. She was very popular amongst the guys and she had a lot of friends.

"Oh come on, you know you two belong together- you guys are like Ross and Rachel," she said referring to the characters in Friends.

Gabriella and Troy knew each other since they were four, but they never got along. When they were younger, Gabriella never shared her toys with Troy and when she didn't Troy would hit her. When they were seven, Gabriella was still riding with training wheels while Troy was riding a big boy bike, Troy laughed and pushed her off the bike before leaving her there crying. When they were eleven, Troy got a new game boy but Gabriella threw it up in the tree and broke it because Troy said that she didn't have one and she wasn't cool. When they were thirteen, Troy started a rumor about Gabriella that spread around school. When they were fifteen, Gabriella told all the girls a bad story about Troy that made them all dislike him for a couple weeks. Now they're seventeen and they still hate each other. Occasionally, the Bolton's and Montez will have a dinner party together, but either one or the other wouldn't be there the same time. They were like fire and ice; they just didn't mix. Never once did Gabriella like Troy, she hated his guts and she was sure he felt the same way.

"Uh no we're not, he would be the last person I'd want to be with, in fact I'd rather die than be with him," Gabriella said, smirking at the two's reaction. That was how much she hated Troy Bolton.

Taylor shook her head at her friend, "You're just being in denial, it's okay," Taylor said and then nodded towards the guys, "Your boyfriend is coming this way Sharpay," she said.

The boys came over to the girls before homeroom which was the door behind the girls. "Hey ladies," Chad said and winked at Taylor who smiled but rolled her eyes at him.

Troy looked at the girls before narrowing his eyes at Gabriella. He hated this girl and wished she didn't go to this school, but his parents were friends and he would have to respect her no matter what and be 'protective' as his mother puts it. Yeah right was he going to waste his time on someone like her.

"Look, I'd love to stay around and chat, but I don't like bitches, and bitches who stare," she said as she was referring to Troy and waved at them before going to homeroom early.

"She totally wants me," Troy said letting his ego get bigger. Troy knew she hated him but he loved messing with her because he enjoys the pain she goes through.

"Cut it out Troy, let her be," Sharpay said and then the rest of them went into homeroom class.

"Okay class, as you know the volleyball team and basketball team both made it to playoffs," Miss Darbus allowed everyone to clap and cheer before she cut them off with her hand, "So can we please have both captains come up to the front to explain when their next game is and who they are playing and such? I need to go to the rest room real quick," Miss Darbus said as Troy and Gabriella both walked to the front of the class.

"Let's have the boring sport go first," Troy winked as the class snickered with laughter while some of the girls on the volleyball team told Troy to shut up.

"Actually, I think I'll let the asshole go first," Gabriella raised her eyebrow as she heard some "Ooos" and "ouch that's a burn" kind of comments.

Troy glared at Gabriella before moving in front of her, "Alright so as we all know, the best team in the school is going to playoffs...Again and hopefully-well actually we will win the championships- one team around here has to win one right?" he said, turning back to Gabriella before looking back at the team. "We're playing Northwest High school at our gym at seven thirty this Friday, I better see all your faces there…well except for one that is," he said before sitting back down at his seat.

"Anyway, now that the lame stuff is over with-"

"Shut up Gabriella, basketball is so much better," one of the senior players said.

"Hey Gary, you don't have to be mad now just because you don't get to play…it's okay to warm up the bench," she shot back at him and then smiled at her teammates.

"Have some respect Gabriella," Troy yelled back to defend his teammate even though he hated Gary's guts.

"So our game is this Thursday at our gym and we'll be playing Pacific Coast High School at seven! Please come out and support the girls," Gabriella smiled sweetly before sitting down at her seat.

"Lame," he coughed as Gabriella walked by and he felt her hit the back of his head, "Ouch," he rubbed the back of his head before Miss Darbus got back and began to explain some theater stuff. The bell soon rang and everyone got up and walked out together. The thing that sucks is Gabriella and Troy has to be around each other because they hung around the same crowd.

"Krissy baby!" Troy said when he saw Krissy and kissed her passionately in front of Gabriella. He knew Gabriella hated Krissy and also hated PDA so he did it anyway.

"Gross," Gabriella said and walked away from the two sucking each other's faces. Gabriella hated Krissy because Krissy always thought that Gabriella liked Troy and would try stealing him from her. There was no way Gabriella could ever like Troy, he was the biggest asshole in the world. Gabriella and Troy would never exist, not in her world. He was just her frenemy, nothing more.

I know it's super short so far, but it'll get longer and more interesting I promise. I'd like to hear what you guys have to say so please review!
