Chapter 1(Friday)

Gabriella, Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi all stood around Gabriella's desk in their homeroom waiting for Ms Darbus to show up. They were discussing their upcoming school trip that started today.

"So do you reckon there will be any cute guys on this trip?" Sharpay asked as the others all just rolled their eyes.

"Is that all you can think of Sharpay?" Taylor replied.

"Yes!" Sharpay quickly shot back, "I am going to need something to keep my mind occupied if we are going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere for a whole week. I mean I still don't get why we have to go on this trip. Don't they know people like moi don't do well in the wild?"

"Sharpay, why are you going on this trip if you really don't want to?" Gabriella enquired.

"Daddy reckons it will do me good to do normal everyday things like everyone else and participate with others. It's not fair I mean why should Ryan get to stay at home just because he has the flu. I mean if I wanted to hang out with normal people I think I would rather just die. I mean have you seen some of the clothes normal people wear?" Sharpay said annoyed whilst pointing towards Kelsi.

"Hey! Why are you pointing to me? I don't look that bad do I?" Kelsi questioned suddenly becoming very paranoid.

"No you don't Kelsi. Just ignore Sharpay she's just annoyed that she can't have her own way for once and won't have her brother there to back her up and follow her around all day." Taylor quickly answered back before Sharpay could say anything else.

"Are you ok Kelsi?" Gabriella asked from her seat.

"Yeah. I just started thinking about her again you know." Kelsi said with tears in her eyes. Sharpay who was nearest her put her arm around her shoulder pulling her into a hug.

"Yeah. It's ok to remember her. If you want to talk about it we are here for you ok?" Sharpay said still hugging Kelsi.

"Yeah. Thanks. My parents recon it will be good this trip for me to try and help get over it." Kelsi said as Sharpay released her from a hug.

Meanwhile at the front was Troy, Chad, Zeke and Jason were sat on their desks talking about, yes you guessed it, Basketball.

"I can't believe that we're gonna miss a whole weeks worth of basketball practise!" Chad exclaimed angrily.

"Yeah I bet coach is gonna get tougher and work us harder when we get back" Jason assumed.

Troy was just sitting there on his desk not really paying any attention to what the guys were going on about. His mind was to preoccupied looking at a certain person at the back of the class. Although Troy would never admit he had always had a little crush, okay a huge crush on Gabriella Montez from the day she first arrived at East High. He couldn't say anything because people would tell him that geeks and jocks just don't go together. Her smile is so stunning, when she laughs its like music to my ears. Just everything about her is amazing. She just looks beautiful even when she's not even trying to. As Troy suddenly stopped daydreaming about Gabriella he noticed that she was looking right at him. He quickly turned his head as he felt the heat in his cheeks suddenly warm up. Oh god I can't believe she saw me looking, no more like staring at her. After a few minutes he carefully turned back to look at her and saw she was looking. She smiled at him, in which he returned. Did Gabriella just smile at me? Their eyes remained locked on each other for a few more minutes until the door suddenly flung open.

Gabriella's P.O.V

I had zoned out of listening to Sharpay complaining about how she would survive these next week. I looked up and saw Troy Bolton staring at me. Why would Troy Bolton, captain of the Basketball team be staring at me? As soon as he saw me looking he turned around starting to blush. After a few minutes he turned back towards. I sent him a small smile and he sent one back. What was I doing I mean he is the popular guy everyone wants to hang out with. He was a jock. Jocks hate people like me; a geek, I mean they hate the Drama club as well. So why would Troy Bolton be looking at me like that? Our eyes remained locked on each other's until the door suddenly flung open.

End P.O.V

As the class looked towards the door they saw Ms Darbus walking in with Coach Bolton behind them.

Troy's P.O.V

As I looked towards the door that had just opened I saw Ms Darbus walking in with my dad right behind her. Why was my dad in here? He normally can't stand Ms Darbus. They look like they were getting on as they walked over to her desk.

End P.O.V

Ms Darbus and Coach Bolton turned to face the class.

"Ok listen up everyone," Ms Darbus shouted with harshness in her voice. Suddenly the whole room went quiet. Students went back to their own desks waiting for Ms Darbus to continue. "Thank you. As you all know Mr Johnson was going to be chaperoning with myself on this trip, but Mr Johnson has had to pull out this morning so Coach Bolton will be accompanying us instead for the week long trip."

Troy, Chad, Jason, Zeke and a few other players from the Basketball team let out a groan, as they knew Coach Bolton would be watching their every move.

Sharpay's P.O.V

I can't believe the way Troy Bolton was looking at Gabi before. I mean who do Troy and his 'team' think they are. URGH!

Flashback 2 days earlier

"I can't believe how hard that science homework was last night," Taylor complained whilst we were standing around Gabi's locker

"I thought it was easy." Gabi said.

"Look who just walked in?" I said as I spotted the jocks and cheerleaders walk through the doors. Of course Troy had cheerleaders on both arms.

"Oh look, it the scholastic freaks and drama nerds!" Chad exclaimed as they walked past. The others all around him just laughed.

"WOW! Alert the press! Chad just used a big word! "Taylor shot back "although he probably doesn't know what it means," she scoffed quietly.

"Why don't you all just go back to whatever planet people like you freaks are from" Jason shot back.

"Why don't all you try and find your way back to the zoo...oops I mean home." Kelsi quickly retorted angrily. I have never heard her say so much to them yet alone get so worked up.

End of Flashback

Now come to think of it Troy was looking away uncomfortably while all this was happening looking as though he wanted nothing more than to get out of there. When he was looking at Gabi, it was as though he couldn't care less about what the others thought from the way he looked at her. Maybe Gabi could use this to her advantage in our plan to get the boys back for what they said in the hall the other day. I suddenly stop thinking when I heard Ms Darbus say something about the Drama club.

End P.O.V

"…We hope on this trip you all try to expand your friendship range for example the Drama club showing the homework club some of the ideas for our next musical or the scholastic decathlon team showing the basketball team what an equation looks like." At this all the class laughed apart from the basketball team.

"As this trip is to help you get to now others in your class better there will be a seating plan on the coaches, which will be boy girl. Yes I know it's not fair but that's how it's going to be." Coach Bolton explained.
