Ch 1 - The Plan

December 29th

Troy Bolton was enjoying his Christmas break with his family and friends. He had enjoyed a wonderful meal compliments of his mother on Christmas Eve, and he had received the best present ever from his parents, a brand new car! Could this Holiday get any better???

Troy was in his room, doing the only thing that had messed up his holiday, homework. Bummer. Yet he knew he had to get to it someday during his holidays. He was so concentrated on his chemistry assignment that he barely heard his phone ring. After three more rings he answered it playfully, since he was in a good mood. "Yeeellow!"

"Troy, hey its Ryan." Troy threw himself on the bed and grabbed a small rubber basketball. "Hey man, whats up?" He said throwing the basketball on an equally small net that hung from his bedroom door. "Nothing dude, guess what! Man, my parents left for Europe, and they left us the key to our L.A house..i was thinking we're gonna rock New Years Eve there…huh? What do you think?" Ryan sounded very excited. "Oh dude, sounds cool," he really liked the idea, as long as his girlfriend, Gabriella Montez was going, he was so in. "I'll just talk to Gabby and let her know, and I'll ask my parents, but I don't think they will have any problem with me going to L.A."

"Great, hey man tell Chad and Taylor for me will ya? Sharpay's already talked to Kelsi and Kelsi is telling Jason, I'm calling Zeke, and I'm guessing he's bringing his girlfriend, Sarah." After this, they hung up and Troy headed downstairs to talk to his parents.

-----------------

"Who was that? On the phone?" Sharpay asked her twin brother as he hung up the phone. "Oh I was just talking to Troy, letting him know about New Years. He's coming, and so is Gabby, I think."

"Oh, they are coming?" She asked with a sad look on her face. Ryan knew how his sister felt about Troy. She had been in love with him ever since Kindergarden. They had always been the best of friends and at one point, they were even childhood boyfriend and girlfriend. Sharpay remembered the day Ryan got them married them in the playground, back in grade 1, although they were only kids, she still felt how much she loved him back then, and even more now. Ever since Troy had started going out with Gabriella, he had changed a lot towards her, this saddened Sharpay a lot, and made her become a lonely and quiet person. Some people said she was an "Ice Queen" for the fact that she never spoke to anybody besides the gang.

She didn't have anything against Gabriella, really she was a really nice girl, and she made Troy happy, but still whenever she saw troy and gabriella together, she couldn't help tears forming in her coffee coloured eyes.

"Shar?" Ryan suddently broke into her thoughts. "You're gonna be okay, right?" He asked her concerned at his sisters silence. "Yeah, I'll be fine, don't worry. I'll be fine. I've always been fine." She lied. God. She thought. This is gonna be the worst New Years ever!

-----------------

"Hello? Gabby hi! Finally, I've been trying to reach you for a while now. How are you?" Troy was glad Gabriella had finally picked up the phone, he wanted to tell her the news about the New Years Eve celebration. "Hi Troy, enjoying you break?" she asked him. "Well everything was going perfect, but then reality hit me, I'm working on the Chemistry assignment. Honestly Mr. Rogers has no feelings what so ever, he thinks we have no life! Why did he have to give us an assignment during Christmas break?" Gabriella laughed at how silly her boyfriend was being about homework. She didn't mind it too much herself, in fact she had done the assignmet the day it had been given out. "Oh don't be ridiculous Troy, you kno the teachers have to follow a curriculum. And besides you know what happens when you leave things for last minute! You don't get to enjoy your new car!" She laughed.

"Oh well excuse me for not been a nerd like you." Troy laughed as well. "Hey listen, Ryan called me and invited me to go to L.A with the gang for New Years, and well you know.. I was thinking maybe…we could – you know, get some troyella lovey-dovey time." He tried his best for his voice to sound seductive, yet all he got from his lovey was a laugh. "Oh boy, Troy, you don't change…" "Nope!" he admitted proudly. "Well I don't know, Troy, L.A. That's like 8 hours away. How are we getting there?" She didn't seem too convinced. "We're driving, half in my car, half in Ryan's. We all fit! Come on Gabs, I only wanna go if you go." He begged his girlfriend hoping she would agree, he really wanted to go. "Fine, I'll talk to my mom, but I don't think she'll have any trouble." She finally said, Troy smiled to himself.

"But I don't want to stay for too long, ok? I have things to do!" She demanded. "Fine, thanks babe. I LOVE YOU!" he said in a baby voice. "Bye!" she laughed and they hung up.

Just when he thought his holidays couldn't get any better. He imagined him and Gabriella alone, in L.A. Many things could happen, and he welcomed them all.

A/N: I know right now the story seems more troyella ish, but don't worry soon it will be different.
