Nick walked nextdoor to Troy's house. He heard him in back playing basketball so he jumped over the fence. "Hey man!"

"Hey" Troy looked down and did a jump shot.

"What's up?" Nick grabbed the basketball and shot at the basket.

"Oh! Miss!" Troy laughed. "Nothing just thinking, you?"

"Bored so I came over" Nick laughed as he threw the ball back to Troy. They suddenly heard the doorbell ring, and they ran inside. Troy went to the door while Nick grabbed a soda in the fridge. Troy opened the door and saw a girl standing there, about their age. She had on Converse sneakers, skinny jeans and a purple tank. She smiled shyly, "Hi Troy, I'm Alex Russo I go to your school and I was trying out for cheer and they told me your mom had the paperwork I needed to fill out since she's the cheer coach"

"Oh yeah! C'mon in and I'll go get the paperwork" Troy closed the door as she followed him. "Wait here in the kitchen, I'll go get it"

Alex waited there looking down at the floor. Nick looked up and saw her "Hey I'm Nick, have I seen you around before?"

Alex looked up, "Yeah but I don't think we've ever spoke" she laughed quietly.

"Yeah that's weird isn't it?" he smiled at her. "you dated Dean right?"

Her smile faded, "Yeah but we broke up. We changed and it just happened" she shrugged.

"Oh well I'm sorry" he looked down than back up. "You going to be a cheerleader huh?" he smiled.

"Yeah if I make it through tryouts" she laughed "well who knows half the girls probably hate me on the team anyways"

"No way!" he smiled "My girlfriend Miley's on the team, I'll introduce you to her if you want?" he gestured hand motions at her for a drink.

"Oh no you don't have to do that! Really, I think I'll be okay, you don't have to" she took a water bottle from him.

"I don't have to, but I want to" he smiled to her as Troy came down the stairs.

"Alright so here are all the papers you and your parents need to fill out, return them to the nurse and you should be all set!" Troy smiled as he handed her the papers.

"Okay thanks!" she grabbed them and turned around. "Nice talking to you Nick, see you at school?" she looked at him.

"Yeah I'll come get you and introduce you to Miley, okay?" he smiled.

Alex laughed, "Alright. See you guys and thanks Troy!" she walked out of the front door. As she walked out the front door she said a few rhyming sentences and she looked down at the papers. They were already filled out. Perfect she thought and started to walk home back to Waverly Place.

Casey was sitting up on her bed against the wall doing her homework. I hate AP U.S History. Derek walked in and sat down on the bed. He smiled at her.

"What are you so happy about?" she looked oddly at him.

"Nothing…except the fact you couldn't stop thinking about me at dinner!" he gave a cheeky grin.

Casey rolled her eyes. "Please, I have a life unlike some of us" she gestured to him.

"Casey, if you had a life you wouldn't be like me who can't stop thinking about the other night" he looked down. Don't get rejected, you're the man Derek.

She sighed, He's right."Okay fine" she shrugged her shoulders.

Derek looked up quickly. "What?"

She looked at him, she couldn't tell if he was serious or what was going on. "Okay fine…I haven't stopped thinking about the other night…either"

Derek looked at her in shock, "Crazy…isn't it?". All he could think about was how at one point they nearly hated each other and if that one night they had found someone different in each other. Casey bit her bottom lip, Derek knew she was nervous.

She stopped biting her lip, "What….are we going to do than?" she looked down at her phone lighting up, indicating she was receiving a text message.

Derek smirked, Holy shit Derek what's happening to you! "I know what I'm going to do…." Derek slowly leaned in.

Casey gave him a weird look "Wha-" and before she knew it Derek was gently kissing her. She was worried what if someone walked in, but she didn't really care either because everything in life had finally felt right.

Miley walked into Sharpay's room, "Hey your brother let me in!" she smiled and sat on the bed noticing Sharpay didn't look all there. "What's wrong?"

Sharpay looked up, she was lying down, her hair was a mess and that wasn't the normal Sharpay whose hair was perfect at every moment. "Miles, if I tell you something, promise not to tell anyone ever until I know what's going to happen?"

Miley nodded, "Of course Shar"

Sharpay sat up and sighed, Here we go; "Well earlier Troy came over and we hung out and talked about memories and…." She gulped. "We umm….kissed"

Miley sprang up, "WHAT?!"

Sharpay threw herself back down "UGH! I know! But you know about what happened sophomore year! It was like I don't know, uh a goodbye kiss!" she quickly covered her face and sobbed.

Miley sat back down and lied next to her "I'm sorry Shar it's just crazy because everyone thought you got over that and because Gabby ended up being your best friend after she moved here…speaking of her, does she even know what happened sophomore year?" she looked at Sharpays face.

"Obviously not! And I prefer never to remember that again" she sunk her face into her pillow. There's alot more to the story than everyone freaking thinks.

Miley sat up, Sharpay followed, "Shar, are you exactly over him?"

Sharpay wiped her eyes, "Yeah I think….I don't know!" she threw her phone across her room.

Miley hugged her, "Hey, it'll be okay everyone just needs some time to chill because of Gabriella leaving, ya know?"

"Yeah…I know" Sharpay smiled at her, "Thanks, Miles"

"What are best friends for?" Miley smiled back at her "At least you're not Derek and Casey, they live in the same house and gotta keep that secret!" she laughed.

Sharpay giggled, "Yeah wonder what's going to happen with them"

The next day was Saturday. Gabriella walked down the NYC Street, filled with cabs. buses, cars, and people walking to work. She slowly walked into a large three story building that looked old. She saw tons of teenagers and some college students in the hallways. She looked to her left and saw a glass window that read, "Main Office" and showed those inside. She entered the door next to the window, a lady sat at the front desk. "Can I help you miss?" the lady looked up from her paper work.

Gabriella shyly smiled, "Hi I'm Gabriella Montez, this is my first day here…" she waited for an answer.

The woman gave her a few papers that Gabriella assumed was her schedule and she sonly headed out the door. Room 205…. She looked around hoping to find it quickly and not to look like a loser. She walked up the stairs looking at the painting on the wall. Oh that's really pret-, she suddenly ran into someone that made her almost fall. She felt someone catch her hand and bring her back up to her feet. She opened her eyes and looked up. A guy about her age was standing there. Short brown hair, an earring in the one ear and a cute smile any girl could of fell for. He held onto her hand still, and suddenly spoke. "Oh I'm sorry" he smiled.

Gabriella blushed. "Its fine I tend to be a klutz"

He smiled back and looked down at his hand, quickly letting go. "Oh um well I gotta get to class I'll see you later?" he started to head downstairs.

Gabriella quickly stopped him. "By any chance you know where room 205 is?" she laughed.

"Yeah! I'm headed there now, c'mon!" he ran down the stairs with Gabriella following. He headed walked into another hallway and turned around. "Hey..Wait…are you new?!" he shot her a confused look.

"Yeah…I just transferred here, I'm Gabriella" she shook his hand.

"I'm Spinner, no way I got transferred here last year from Degrassi High School"

"Oh my god…." Gabriella stepped back away from him, with a shocked look on her face.
