Disclaimer: I do not own any part or character from High School Musical. However, the plot and most definitely re-occurring character, Rebecca, are my own creations.

A/N: Ok, so this is my first fan-fic. I haven't decided yet if the Point of View is going to be passed among the characters… maybe. I was thinking to add some sexual themes later on, right now there's some mild language. However i don't think it is enough to make this story rated 'M'.

Enjoy!!

Vanessa's POV

Again, I'm stuck here in study hall like I am every afternoon. The only plus is that we have it together, with none of our other friends. As I look across the table at you, you look up and our eyes meet for the briefest second before I look away.

Oh, those eyes. Those gorgeous blue eyes.

I quickly regain my composure, clear my throat, and begin reading over my notes again. Several minutes later, I hear you quietly trying to get my attention…

"Psst! Nes," you whisper, "Nessa?"

"Mhm, what's up?" I reply, lifting my head up to look at you.

Go on, say it! You know you want to! C'mon Zac, 'I love you' isn't that hard… just do it!

"Did we have any other homework besides trig and that history quiz tomorrow?"

Shit. Not what I wanted you to say.

"Um…nope, I think that's it. Why? Are you done all ready?"

"Yeah, just finished."

I nod my head, letting you know that I heard you. I open my mouth to ask you something, but am interrupted by the obnoxious bell ringing loudly, and letting us know to get to our next class.

"Well, I guess I'll see you later then…?" even though it was a simple statement meaning 'we will see each other later', you posed it as a question.

"Yeah, why wouldn't you?"

"Oh, it's nothing. You just don't seem to really be here today… you know?"

"Yeah, I guess I'm not really feeling like myself."

I shrug.

"Are you sure you're alright? Do you want me to escort you to the nurse?"

No, but we could run away together if you'd only ask…

"No thanks. I'm just going to get through my last two classes and then go home. Bye Zac."

And with that, I get up and walk out of the library and head to my next class. My mind wanders back to you, however, and I'm not really watching where I'm going. I bump into Lucas in the hallway and nearly fall over.

"Ow! Damnit! Why don't you watch where you're going! …Oh! Vanessa! Sorry, are you ok?"

"Oh, I'm fine, my fault anyway, I should pay more attention, huh?"

I force a little laugh and continue on my way.

"I'll catch up with you later, Lucas!" I half yell over my shoulder.

Why is it that all I seem to think about lately is Zac? I need to stop, and not be so obsessed with him. Yeah, we're friends, down girl! He has a girlfriend. Yupp, no more thinking about him… like that anyway.

So I sit through my 7th period English class and my 8th period Music and Choir class, and then I catch a ride home with my friend Ashley. I notice her glancing over at me numerous times with a concerned look on her face.

"Something the matter, Ash?"

"Oh, no…nope. I'm good. But what about you, are you alright?"

"Oh my god! What is it with everyone today?! Everyone's been looking at me like I might all of a sudden get up and jump out of a window or something. I'm FINE, ok?! Good!"

An awkward silence befell the car. A minute later though, Ashley spoke again.

"…Ok, Ness. I believe you then."

"Thank you," I huff back simply.

The rest of the ride was silent, except for the radio playing very softly through the speakers. She dropped me off at my house and then, I'm assuming, drove around the corner to her own house. I immediately go up to my room, avoiding my mother and the 'how was school today' question. I close my door behind my and throw my bag on the floor before flopping down on my bed. I close my eyes and take deep breaths, trying to calm my self down.

What is wrong with that boy? Can't he see I'm crazy about him? I guess boys really are dumb… hmm, yeah. I smile to myself. Zac is kinda cute when he's dumb though…

"Vanessa, you stop yourself right now!" I say aloud to myself. "You're in dangerous waters there, and you really need something else to occupy your time. Don't get yourself all built up on him when he's probably not going to ever think of you like that again.

Again, what a word. That's right, I remember how I had my chance to claim him when we were in eighth grade… but I didn't. It's been two years, I missed out big time and I'm going to have to deal with that.
