"so who is the new chick" Troy said leaning against his locker and staring at the petite brunette who was quietly putting things away in her bag.

"no clue but I hear she's super smart." Chad said tossing a note book into his own locker. "kesi met this morning and she her lab partner, she says the girl is like some freaky smart scientist." Chad said reaching for another book.

"just what we need another Taylor." Troy said rolling his eyes and crossing his arms over his chest as he continued to watch this girl awkwardly try to gather all her things in one arm.

"hey say what you want but Taylor is fine." Chad said spinning the basket ball on his finger. "just wait it's all a matter of time before she realizes what she missing." Chad said twirling the ball to his other finger and smiling widely.

"which isn't much." Troy said knock the ball from Chad grasp. Troy began to walk away and Chad ran after him his ball now firmly at his side.

"dude I got mad moves, you not the only ladies man at east high." Chad said smiling at this one girl who waved at him as the past her by.

"Underclassmen don't count" he said with a sigh and walked past the petite brunette, turning back slightly to make out her figure.

"she was held back." Chad said with an expression of annoyance.

"if I told you once I told to many times," Troy turned around and placed a hand on Chad's shoulder. "Underclassmen are like lost puppies. Cute, fun to play with, nice to take home, they're an untouched vessel of ignorance. But they are also un loyal, not disciplined, annoying and worst sometimes they get clingy."

"how do you get woman." Chad said shaking his head before they started moving again.

"it all about making her feel like royalty and doing all the right things they think are romantic and charming." Troy said walking into the classroom.

"hey Troy" Sharpay smiled as she walked past him to her seat.

"hello beautiful." He said back with a wink and then sat down in his seat besides Chad.

"you don't like commitment and that's what I want from Taylor I want her to be my girlfriend." Chad said looking at him and pleading "I just don't know how to do that yet."

"that's the dumbest thing you have ever said. I'm sorry high school is about fun not finding your freaking soul mate you have to learn to block the urge of settling down it'll kill you if you let." Troy said leaning forward in his seat and looking at Chad.

"but will you help me?" Chad said.

Rolling his eyes and tossing his hands up in surrender he murmured a yes and stubbornly shook his head as he looked towards the board. Just then the brunette from the hall way walks through the door and up to the teacher after murmuring a few things she took a seat in front of Troy who defiantly satisfied with the view. Her curls were lose and taunting he could see his hands tangled in her hair and the feel of her neck if he were to place kisses along that skin.

"okay class we have a new student her name is Gabriella Montez and she comes to us all the way from new York. Mr. Thomason said walking up to the board. "hopefully she will enjoy her new location and develop many friends here at east high."

Troy who was stuck by her name smiled as he noticed her bend forward to retrieve her books from her bag. Examining her hands he looked at her plain clear nails. Virgin hands. he thought as he glance up the length of her arms and back down to the small of her back. Unfortunately her shirt wasn't short enough to get a good look at her back let alone a panty color.

Suddenly he felt a something hit him behind the ear and bounce on to the desk. He stared at the crumpled up piece of paper and then looked at Chad who indicated for him to read it.

Opening it up Troy read the message to himself looks like you found another venue of fun? Looking back to Chad he smiled as he nodded his head in agreement.

For the rest of class Troy was tossed between the notes on the board and his approach to the girl sitting in front of him. She sat there with her legs crossed dangling a flip flop from her toe and drawing attention to her toe ring. Cute, modest, sexy and cute. He admired the silver jewelry wrapping around her toe and displaying a pink jewel. Of course she was oblivious to her affect, girls like that always were but underneath that shy exterior Troy knew there would be a sweeter center. He could go for something sweet right about now anyway.

When the bell rang students made their way to the door. Filing out of the room in a urgent need to be free. Everyone except Troy who was sitting at his desk waiting for the door way to clear up, that and watching a certain female talk to the teacher.

"dude we still on for free period." Chad said turning his attention away from Jason and stepping into Troy's line of sight to Gabriella.

"yeah no problem I'll just be a moment I have something to take care of." He said raising from his seat and watching her leave the classroom.

"dude she hasn't even been here a full day." Chad said tossing the ball from one hand to the other.

"hey early bird catches the worm." Troy smiled as he exited out of the classroom.

"doesn't the bird eat the worm." Jason said standing next to Chad.

"it's Troy." Chad said glancing back at the door. "let's bounce man."

Jason and Chad had just walked out of the room to see Troy leaning against the lock watching Gabriella and Taylor converse outside the library.

"Oh check out the worm who got a away." Chad said placing a hand on Troy's back.

"I knew it was only a matter of time before Taylor would show up." He said turning around and walking towards the gym. "come on we got drills to run, I'll introduce myself later."
