BRING!! The bell rang. Gabriella and Taylor rushed out of AP History. Gabriella saw Troy dribbling a basketball with his friends in the hallway.

"Hey Taylor," she asked, "Do you think Troy Bolton and his posse even know we exist?"

Taylor smirked. "I knew you liked him. To answer your question, I don't really care. I mean who wants to go out with those ego-headed jerks anyways, and if I remember correctly, Troy has a girlfriend."

Gabriella grinned. She knew Taylor had a crush on Chad. "I do not like Troy! But yeah, you're probably right. Oh look, here comes Sharpay. Let's go to English, Taylor."

Troy dribbled the basketball and passed it to Chad. "Dude, I have to tell you guys something."

"Yeah Troy, what is it?" Chad asked.

"I think…umm well…I don't really want to take Sharpay to the Homecoming Dance."

"WHAT????" Chad and Ryan shrieked.

"Well, umm, I kinda met someone else," Troy blushed. "Dude, Ryan, you better not tell your sister. I'll kill you if you do."

"Okay, okay. So who's the new girl?" Ryan asked.

"Actually I don't-." Troy got cut off.

"Hey babe." Sharpay kissed Troy on the cheek. "Whatcha guys talking about?"

"Umm…we were…just…that thing…umm bye!" Chad and Troy tried to cover themselves up.

"Okayyyy," Sharpay said slowly. "So what did you text me for earlier, Troy?"

"Erm, do you want to go get food with the gang after school today?" Troy asked.

"Okay! Come on Troy, walk me to science," Sharpay squealed as she pulled Troy away.

I'll break it to her then, Troy mouthed to Chad and Ryan.

Troy, Sharpay, Chad, Ryan, and two of Sharpay's friends walked in The Coffee Shop. They were quickly seated in a booth.

Sharpay was talking about the yearbook. "Okay Troy, I think we're a lock-in for best couple, best smiles, and best eyes, but we're behind in best humanitarians." She made a pouty face. Then she continued, "I was thinking we get my dad to donate some money and take a picture of us in front of whales or something. People LOVE IT when we save whales."

(A/N: I borrowed that from A Cinderella Story

Troy cut her off. "Look that sounds great, but we need to talk."

Sharpay choked on the mineral water she had just been drinking. "Are you breaking up with me?"

"Well I think it'd be better if we were just-."

"Don't say the word 'friends'." Sharpay glared at Troy as she stood. "You will be mine, Troy Bolton. You just wait. Let's go girls."

Gabriella Montez walked in the door as Sharpay was leaving. "Oh, there you are Troy. I was waiting for half an hour."

Troy gave her a puzzled look.

Gabriella held up her Pre-Calc textbook. "Hello? Tutoring?"

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, Gabriella. I forgot," Troy apologized. "How about we go now?"

"Okay," Gabriella sighed. They left together.

Sharpay Evans and her two friends were hiding in Sharpay's car, waiting for Troy to come out. "So, why is she here?" Sharpay gave Gabriella a death glare from afar. "She better not be messing with my man. Girls! Let's go to Gabriella's house."

A/N: What does Sharpay Evans have up her sleeve? Hmm. Oh I'm thinking about not having stepsisters. PM me if you think I should. Sorry for the short chapter. My next one will be at the dance so it'll be long! I might do it today if I have time. Please R&R!
