I know I said about six more chapters but I think that there will be one more after this and then the next chapter will be extra long and will be the grand finale. Sadly…you still haven't told me if you want a sequel although I have an idea for a new story. The summary will be posted at the end of the last chapter and tell me if you like it.

Each class was divided into two; there were the red seniors, the black seniors, the red juniors, the black juniors, and so on. All of the teams were fighting to win homecoming. Freshman had as much of a chance to win as the seniors did although it was clear that the freshmen class wouldn't win.

The group was separated; Gabriella, Alex, Vikki, Danny, and Troy were red, (a/n I didn't mention the full red senior team because It would take up pages. Just mentioned the characters that have been introduced.) and Chad, Jane, Kendra, Sharpay, and Ryan were black. It was friendly competition, until the game got tied.

Red had two touchdowns and black had two touchdowns. The principal had clarified earlier that in the event of a tie the cheerleaders from each team would have to have a cheer-off. This would be interesting. Troy, Alex and a couple other guys looked at each other awkwardly. They had ten minutes to develop a cheer.

The girls were exhausted from playing. Both senior teams had beaten the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen and today's challenge was going to be decided with a cheer-off…by guys. Gabriella wasn't too competitive; she would much rather laugh at the guys trying to make a pyramid then stress herself over it.

The red senior cheer squad came up and put their hands behind their backs with a smile on their face. Their cheer was completely against what cheerleaders stood for but it made everybody laugh. Gabriella could recall pieces like "23? 34? Somebody tell me what's the score." and "I love the outfit that I wear. AH! The sun it's bleaching out my gorgeous hair."

It was hilarious and after they did a pyramid and a couple cart-wheels. They totally rocked and left everyone there laughing. With that, they had won the challenge. The black seniors stared wide-eyed at them, but they admitted that they were funny.

As Alex came over to her, Gabriella pointed and laughed at him. He rolled his eyes and took her hand in his. She stopped and looked at him. "Ha ha, very funny," he said and she laughed.

"I know it was very funny," she said knowingly. He tried to kiss her but then she pulled away. "Save it for later, Romeo," she said putting her finger at his lips.

"Now is later," he said and kissed her against her will. She enjoyed it as much as he did. "Can I give you a ride home?" he asked.

Gabriella agreed and took his hand. The black eyeliner on her face had smudged even more. People who didn't know her would think she was a rowdy tomboy and not a smart beauty.

Even though it was quiet, neither of them seemed to mind. Just simply being together was enough. Alex liked the way Gabriella could make him feel better without even trying. She truly was one in a million. In two weeks it'd all be over.

"I can't believe the dance is just two days away!" she said and jumped up excitedly. He just nodded and smiled at her. "It's going to be a lot of fun," she said trying to get Alex to say something. He just nodded again. "Hey? You okay?" Gabriella asked.

"Couldn't be better," he lied. She kissed him on the cheek.

Chad, Troy, Zeke, and Alex had divided the cost for the limo. They were going to surprise each of their dates with the fantasy ride and would surely get rewarded for it. Zeke was the only one without a date. He had asked Sharpay, but of course she had turned him down. He wouldn't settle for someone else and still had hopes to share a dance with her.

The first stop was Taylor's house. Chad hadn't told any of them who their date was and it was no surprise when Chad rang the doorbell, Taylor would answer it. Taylor and Chad were a very cute couple; the perfect balance of jock and nerd made them popular. They weren't necessarily together, but they were entirely infatuated with each other.

Jane was next. She was pretty much a new face to everyone in the limo, which made it hard for everyone to let loose, but she was very kind. She was wearing a knee-length metallic blue dress with thing straps and her hair was pulled back to a half ponytail. Jane looked very pretty when she got out of the jeans and t-shirts she wore that didn't display her beautiful figure.

Finally, Gabriella. Alex happily walked to the door and took her back into the limo. It was a big surprise for her to see the limo standing before her. It was very sweet of him to do that, and so she kissed him quickly on the lips.

She was wearing a black strapless dress with her hair piled on top of her hair. Gabriella had a very simple, but elegant look. Even if she was wearing sweatpants; she was still the prettiest girl there, to Alex.

It was different to see Troy with another girl. She had never seen him with some one else other than Sharpay, but Sharpay had always wanted him. Jane didn't seem like a brat though, so Gabriella was happy for him.

Twenty minutes later, after the group had some laughs, the driver pulled up at the Hilton hotel, where the dance was to be held. It was going to be a huge party and everybody started snapping pictures here and there.

"Let the party begin!" Chad said and they entered the Great Room of the Hilton. Alex had to tell Gabriella tonight. It wasn't fair that she would have to find out last minute.

Not much happened in this chapter it was one of those things where it's like leading up. Sorry! Please review. Give me five more reviews and I will update the next chapter.
