Hey readers. My latest chapter has arrived. Yaay! Anyways, I only own Roxanne and all her phrases :) Enjoy!

As November began to fade away, December was taking over. Huge projects were due and exam prep had begun. Roxanne spent a lot of her time tutoring Jenna in Spanish, and Troy in science. However, December was a big month for Roxanne because, the scholarship basketball game was coming up and the auditions for the school musical were close by.

Roxanne sat in class waving her pencil in front of her face to cause her from sleeping. All this stuff was easy anyways. It was Troy who had to keep up.

"Coming over today?" Asked Troy

"Like always." Roxanne replied

"Man, this stuff is confusing." He said.

"That's why you got me to help you." She said

The bell rung and Troy and Roxanne left hand in hand to the caf, until someone called her name.

"Roxanne? Can I ask you something?"

Roxanne turned around to see Sharpay smiling innocently.

"Sure." Roxanne said letting go of Troy's hand.

"Over here."

Roxanne walked over "What can I do for you?"

"Well I know you play on the team with Bolton. So I wanna make it clear that you stay on your court and off my stage." Sharpay scoffed.

Roxanne cocked her eyebrow. "How'd she know I was auditioning?"

"Bolton can audition but you can't." she scoffed again as she poked Roxanne in the chest.

"My boyfriend isn't auditioning without me. Because I promised him I would. So how about you back off and let me do what I want." Roxanne hissed.

"Another man stealer." Roxanne thought to her self as she walked back to Troy who was waiting for her against the lockers.

"What was that about?" He asked grabbing her hand.

"Nothing, she was just asking for homework questions. " Roxanne lied.

Roxanne sat in her English class when Mrs. Darbus came in and had an announcement.

"Class, because the holidays are quickly approaching. I've decided we will hold a secret Santa. Exciting huh?"

"Great now I have to buy a present for someone I probably don't like."

Mrs. Darbus came around with a hat with all the students' names inside of it. Roxanne drew out the name Mark. She quickly scanned the room to see Mark secretly listening to his iPod. His earphones look old and beat up.

'Mark Earphones' Roxanne wrote on her paper.

"Who'd you get?" Asked Gabriella when she turned around to face Roxanne.

"Mark. You?" Asked Roxanne.

"Connor, I have no clue what to get him."

"Gift card maybe?" Roxanne suggested.

"Yeah, get idea. Thanks." Said Gabriella.

Final bell rung and Roxanne and Gabriella left class until Roxanne heard some bickering by some lockers. She looked to see most of the boys in the class surrounding Connor.

"Connor please?"

"Come on, I'm your best friend.

Then she heard Rick, the boy who was friends with her new friend Sarah in science, say something.

"She's hot. Give her to me."

Roxanne saw the boys were all bickering over a small piece of paper. A girl for secret Santa.

"Ten bucks." Said Rick.

"For this?" Asked Connor.

"Ten dollars to switch Roxy as your secret Santa for Paula." Said Rick.

"Deal!"

She couldn't believe it. Boys were willing to pay to be her secret Santa. But who wouldn't? She was the finest girl East High had seen.

At the Bolton's house, Roxanne and Troy sat at the dinner table with work all over the table.

"Come on Troy you know this. What's HNO3?"

"I don't know."

"Nitr…"

"Nitric acid!"

"Thank you."

Troy looked down at his sheet all frustrated.

"Troy, it's okay. Acids are hard to remember." She said leaning over and giving him a kiss.

"Thanks for trying to help me. I bet you could be doing something else more fun." He said.

"What's better than hanging out with my boyfriend and tutoring him about chemicals?" Roxanne joked.

Troy smiled and leaned in and began kissing Roxanne.

Then his mom walked in and cleared her throat. "Studying?"

The two of them broke apart instantly.

"Of course we're studying." Said Troy.

"Then what are you studying?" His mother asked as she folded her arms across her chest.

Troy began to stammer.

"We're studying… biology. Yeah biology." Roxanne lied.

Mrs. Bolton smiled. "That works." She said walking away.

"Oh my god Troy, you won't believe what happened after English today. " Said Roxanne.

"What?"

"Rick, some kid in my class is paying Connor ten dollars to be my secret Santa."

"Connor is holding a secret Santa in your class?" asked Troy.

"No, Mrs. Darbus is. But Connor got me."

"Oh."

"Troy, beat him up for me?" Roxanne asked sweetly.

"You're the one that beats everyone up." Troy joked.

"True. That means I wear the pants in the relationship."

"Uh, no." Troy said.

"Fine, then beat up Rick to prove it." Roxanne said.

"No." Troy said.

"Wuss." Roxanne said while she put her papers in order.
