Prologue
"You are formally invited to me, Sharpay, duh- Anyways, your invited to my Halloween party, next Friday, Halloween, duh- RSVP ASAP," Troy read the invitation card to everyone as they were sitting on the black pavement of his driveway. Chad looked at Troy.
"She likes the word 'duh', I take it," he said. Gabriella and Taylor giggled. Jason leaned over Troy to get a look at the invitation.
"Or she's just being a little snot," Taylor said.
"Oops, too late," Gabriella chimed in. Everyone laughed.
Sharpay, with perfect timing, pulled up in her pink convertible, blaring the music.
"Speak of the devil," Gabriella said while Chad and Jason laughed. Troy knew Gabriella didn't like Sharpay. He didn't know why, but he knew she didn't.
"What's so funny?" Sharpay asked as she squeezed in between Troy and Gabriella. Gabriella snickered while everyone just stared at Sharpay.
"Oh, Gabriella was talking about what a snot you-" Jason started but Chad elbowed him in the ribs.
Sharpay eyed Gabriella, then focused on Troy. "I bought all of you invitations to my Halloween party next Friday!" Sharpay held out the four cards in her hands as if it were a royal flush. She passed one out to Taylor, Chad, Jason, and Troy.
"You already gave me one earlier today in school, remember?" Troy said.
"Oh, yea! Fridays can go by so fast. I guess I forgot," Sharpay said. Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"What about Gabriella? You forgot to give her one," Troy said. Gabriella looked up from under eye lashes.
"Oh, I didn't forget," Sharpay hissed, "Everybody who's anybody is invited…only."
"Really," Gabriella said more than asked.
Sharpay nodded. "Yup, see you tomorrow, Troy!"
They all watched as she hopped back into her convertible, blew four air kisses, and drove down the street and out of sight.
"What did she mean?" Chad asked.
"About what?" Troy said.
"About seeing you tomorrow?" Gabriella finished.
Troy swallowed hard. How was he going to explain this?
"Look, um, she may have persuaded me to go on a date with her…"
"What?" Gabriella asked.
"Gabby, don't be like that. I mean, it's not like we're dating," he said. She shook her head.
"Yea, if only," she whispered.
