I'm really excited about releasing the first chapter. I spent all day working on it! So please review!
Gabriella, Taylor and Sharpay were spending a "Girls Day" at the mall. They had been in their favorite store Rainbow for hours trying on dresses.
"O.K, we tried on half the dresses in the store, I say we take a break and go get something to eat" Taylor said looking tired.
"Yeah, let's go down to the food court and afterwards we can go to Abercrombie and Fitch."An also worn out looking Gabriella said.
"You guys, we can eat later, let's try to hit more stores before closing time" Sharpay said, she was clearly not ready to leave yet.
"Sharpay you are the skinniest thing in here, you should want to eat a little more, so let's go" Taylor said.
Taylor practically dragged the blonde out of the store, and they all went to the food court. When they had ordered their food they found an empty table to sit at.
"You know Shar, you could have gotten more than just a small salad." Gabriella said while eating her French fries.
Gabriella was the only person who noticed Sharpay sudden lack of appetite and her excessive weight loss. Gabriella didn't want to ask her about it though, she didn't want her best friend to feel self conscious or anything.
"Well Gabs, all you are eating is French fries" Taylor commented while eating a burger.
"I got sick again this morning. I don't know what's triggering it, and I'm not going to try to push it." Gabriella told them.
"Gabs, you have been complaining about getting sick for weeks now. Maybe you should see a doctor?" Taylor said
"It goes away as soon as it comes, so I've seen no reason to check with-" The sound of Gabriella's cell phone cut off her sentence.
"Hello?" She said when she answered
"Hey Babe, we just got in from playing basketball." Gabriella heard her boyfriend of two years Troy Bolton say.
"Are you enjoying your day with the guys?" Gabriella asked
"Yeah, but I miss you"
"Aww babe, I miss you too."
Just then, Sharpay snatched the phone out of Gabriella's hand.
"I'm sorry Troy, but Gabriella isn't supposed to talk to you today. This is a girl's day, and we will have no contact with any of the guys." She said before hanging up.
"This is a day for us girls. If Taylor and I have to go on a boy fast for today, so do you." Sharpay said
"But Shar! I miss him so much, come on just five minutes." Gabriella begged.
"No way Gaby, I haven't spoken to Chad all morning and Sharpay hasn't even texted Zeke. It's only one day, you guys will live." Taylor said
"Ugh you guys suck" Gabriella told them
"But you love us anyway" Sharpay said
After shopping with the girls all day, Gabriella was glad to finally be home. It's not that she didn't like going shopping with her two best friends, she just hated not being able to see or talk to Troy all day. Sharpay had made up that rule when Gabriella and Taylor seemed too preoccupied with talking to their boyfriends to go shopping with her.
When Gabriella walked into the house she found her mother and her mother's boyfriend sitting on the couch.
"Hey Mami, hi Mark" Gabriella said when she saw them.
Mark made a grunting noise in response.
"Hey Baby Girl, how was your day?" Maria asked her daughter
"It was great. Shar, Tay and I found the cutest dresses" Gabriella said
"That's great baby. Mark and I are going out tonight. Do you mind staying alone for a couple of hours?" Maria said.
"Of course not Mom" Gabriella replied.
Mark had been Gabriella Mother's boyfriend for two years now. She had met him when they first moved to Albuquerque. He moved in after a year of dating Maria.
Gabriella's actual father died a couple of years ago, so she was pretty happy her mom found someone else. Gabriella just wishes she found someone with a better attitude. Mark never talks to her unless he wants her to do something for him, he hates Troy, and he pushes Maria around like she is his maid. For some reason she loves him, so Gabriella tolerates him.
When Gabriella went up to her room she called Troy.
"Hello?" He said when he answered
"Hey Troy, what are you doing?" Gabriella asked
"Nothing really. I was just about to call you again, but I didn't know if you were still with your friends. And I do not want to risk another Sharpay rant" He said
Gabriella laughed "Don't tell me that the big basketball star is afraid of Sharpay"
"Well yeah, the girl looks like she could chew my head off" She was still laughing when she heard the front door shut.
"My mom and mark just left" Gabriella whispered
"Want me to come over?" Troy asked
"Yeah, I don't think they'll be back for awhile"
"I'll be over in ten minutes"
They both hung up the phone. Gabriella was excited to see her boyfriend; she hadn't seen him all day. Mark didn't allow Troy to be in her room past ten o'clock. She's also not allowed to have him here alone without permission, but she really didn't care.
Gabriella and Troy had been sexually active for almost a year now. Troy never pressured her or anything. In fact it was her that suggested that they took their relationship to the next level. She was sure she loved Troy, so why wait?
She was studying her history notes, when she heard a light tapping on her balcony door. When Gabriella opened it she found Troy standing outside with that cute grin on his face.
He kissed her softly before coming inside her room.
"Romeo, you know I do have this thing called a front door. You don't have to climb the wall every time you come over." Gabriella told him when they sat down on her bed.
"It's the weekend I can't believe you are actually studying" He said examining the books.
"Troy it's senior year, not everyone can go to college off a basketball scholarship like you" Gabriella reminded him.
"Ella, you could probably flunk all of the exams and still have an A average." He told her.
"Troy, Even though we are still in our first month of senior year, it's never too early to start studying. You know I read that if you prepare-" Troy cut me off with a kiss.
"Troy you just can't do that every time I say something you don't want to hear" Gabriella scolded him.
"But this time's O.K" Gabriella said with a smile kissing him back

Taylor hated how fast the day went by; she loved when her and her friends were able to spend some time together. When she entered the apartment, she found her older brother sleeping on the couch. Michael moved back in with her and her parents last month after being kicked out of his girlfriend's house. He was turned twenty one not too long ago, and was he was very protective of Taylor.
"Mike wake up" Taylor yelled.
"mmm" Michael mumbled "What do you want?"
"Where are Mom and Dad?" She asked him
"Minding their business, I suggest you do the same" He said
"Jerk" She said going up the stairs.
Taylor turned on her cell phone and found that she had three missed calls. All of them were from her boyfriend Chad. She decided to go ahead and call him back.
"Hello?" Chad asked on the other end of the phone.
"Hey Chad, It's me" Taylor said
"Taylor! Where were you? I tried calling you three times!" Chad yelled into the phone
"I was out all day with the girls, you knew that"
"Sure, you were "With the girls". Is that a codename for cheating on me?'' Chad asked
"You think I have been with another guy?" Taylor asked
"You didn't respond to any of my calls all day Taylor, what else am I supposed to assume?"
"You could trust me; we've been together for almost six months now." Taylor practically yelled into the phone.
"Six months is a long time, but who's to say that you won't cheat on me?" Chad asked in the same tone
"Really Chad? I'm can't even believe we are having this conversation. If we don't have trust, we don't have a relationship." Taylor said. She ended the call without letting him respond.
How dare he accuse her of cheating? Taylor has been nothing but loyal to him ever since they got together six months ago. Taylor threw her phone across the room in anger.

Sharpay came home to an empty house. Her parents went to some Art show, and her brother Ryan had a theatre meeting today. She was grateful for this because the first think she did was run to the bathroom.
Did you have to stuff your face with that salad today? She thought as she stuck her finger down her throat.
She threw up her small lunch into the toilet. This had been going on for about a month now. Sharpay would only allow herself to eat a small amount of food, and everything else ended up in the toilet. This had all started when she couldn't fit inside of a dress for a party. The zipper would zip all the way up, and the embarrassed Sharpay vowed she would never let something like this happen again.
She quickly flushed the toilet when she heard the door unlock.
"Anybody home?" She heard Ryan yell.
"I'm here" She said walking into the sitting room.
"Hey sis, we decided to do the musical Grease this year. Auditions are next week. Do you have a song prepared to audition with?"
"I'm always prepared" She said
"Sharpay? Are you sick, you look a little pale." Ryan said looking at her drained face.
"Yes, I am fine brother dearest don't worry about me" Sharpay snapped.
Sharpay went to her room and weighed herself for tonight.
91lbs read the scale. This was ten pounds down from last week. She went to bed feeling extremely proud of herself.
