Chapter 1

Troy Bolton drove his truck into the parking lot of UC Berkeley and looked at his dorm building,

Foothills.

"This is it," he thought. "My new home away from home." He entered the building and went to the sign-in area, carrying all his things.

"Troy Bolton." He said.

The lady at the sign-in area handed him a packet of papers and a keycard.

"Room 214. Pictures will be taken tomorrow for your id card." She said.

Troy thanked her and went in search of room 214. Once he found it, he unlocked the door and entered his new room. He saw that he had a roommate who had claimed a bed already. Then he saw the last thing he expected to see... a West High Knights pennant!

"Oh boy...this can't be good." He thought. He got his side of the room set up, including putting an East High Wildcats pennant by his bed. On the dresser beside his bed, he put a picture of him and Gabriella, a picture of the East High basketball team, and a picture of himself and his parents. Then he went to the dining hall where he got a hamburger and a Pepsi. Troy walked to a table and started talking with his fellow freshmen.

"Hi, guys. Mind if I sit here?" he asked.

"Not at all. I'm Jarod. Freshman."

"Troy Bolton. Freshman."

"Jake Sanchez. Freshman."

"Josh Jackson. Freshman."

"Nice to meet you all." Troy replied.

The four freshmen talked for a while and Troy found out that all of them were playing basketball for Berkeley.

"What room are you guys in?" Troy asked.

"213." said Josh.

"213." said Jake.

"214." said Jarod.
