Chapter 1

Gabriella's POV:

''Hey you,''

''Hey yourself.'' I smiled as Troy walked towards me. Troy was my best friend. I was Troy's.

''So, whats up?'' Troy said, as we walked side by side towards our homeroom. He grabbed my hand. I smiled to myself.

''Nothing much. Are you still up for friday?'' I asked.

''Course! I wouldn't miss it for the world!'' Troy replied. I giggled. Every friday Troy went to my house to watch movies, eat popcorn, the usual things that best friends do. We walked into the homeroom. Troy squeezed my hand and went over to speak to Chad. I walked over to Taylor.

''Hey Taylor,'' I said, as I walked over to hug her.

''Hey Gabi,'' She grinned.

Suddenly, the whole room went silent. I watched as a girl walked into the room. I was horrified. She was beautiful. She had curly blonde hair that fell past her shoulders, and piercing green eyes. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Zac staring at this.. girl.

''Who the hell is that?'' Taylor whispered to me.


Troy's POV:

I watched as the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life walked into my homeroom. She had glittering green eyes and golden hair that reached just past her shoulders. I needed to find out her name. Even if it was the last thing I did. I looked over at Gabriella, who looked utterly horrified. Typical Gabriella. I caught her eye, but she looked away quickly. Just then, Ms. Darbus walked into the room. She looked amazed at how silent we all were.

''Everybody, this is Emma. She just transferred here from West High.''


Gabriella's POV:

Emma, huh? What a stupid name. I just knew that she was a cow. I just knew it. She reminded me of Sharpay, for some reason.


Emma's POV:

I think i'm going to like this school, I thought. There was a really, really cute boy who was staring at me as if I was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. He had bright blue eyes and sandy coloured hair. A girl was looking at me from the back of the room as if I was some dirt off the bottom of her shoe. She had dark curly brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She looks pretty, I thought. But whats her problem?

I walked out of the homeroom.

''Hi, i'm Troy.'' The gorgeous blue eyed boy that was staring at me in the homeroom caught up with me.

''Hey. I'm Emma.''

''I know.'' He smiled. Oh my god, he was gorgeous.''So your new, right?''

''Yup,'' I answered. Troy grinned. I grinned back. We walked past the girl with dark hair. She looked at Troy. He waved at her.

''Later, Gabi,'' he said. She looked as if she was about to cry.
