This chapter is dedicated to all those Troypay fans out there! Love u all!

I do not own HSM. But, isn't Zeke cute?

"If only, if only", the basketball star thought, walking the halls of East High. Troy had always had a crush on Sharpay. And he knew it. Her soft, flowing blonde hair that fell to her shoulders, the way she acted all innocent around teachers but really had something complex going on in her mind. Don't take it the wrong way, Troy really did like Gabi. But she was so far away from him lately. He hadn't had a conversation with her in a week and they hadn't really talked much since the musical.

Sharpay was daydreaming while walking down the hall, for once without her brother. You know, the dreams we all wish could come true, but rarely ever do. She thought,

I am clever girl, right? I don't pull off these ingenious plans because I am stupid! So what's different about this situation? That someone already had what she wanted? But that hadn't stopped her befo- "Watch out los- Troy?"

Sharpay exclaimed in a heap on the floor. Her books were everywhere! And so were… Troy's. "Are you okay, Sharpay? I didn't mean to I was kind of lost in my thoughts and I wasn't looking and"

"That's, that's fine. Whatever.", Sharpay really didn't want to snub Troy but her reputation was on the line with so many people watching.

"Sharpay!", shouted Ryan from down the hall. "What happened? Did Troy knock you down?"

"No, Ryan, no. He, he didn't. It was um, my fault. That's what it was.", Sharpay quickly covered up for Troy.

"Sharpay, wait. You don't-"

"It was my fault Troy. Really. I'm sorry. Let's just leave Ryan."

Ryan and Sharpay left down the hall and Ryan looked back at Troy, very suspicious at what had been going on. Nothing good, it seemed.

As they walked away Troy cought himself saying aloud, " She sure can move." Did he say that aloud. Snickers in the hallway Just his luck. He was sure this was going to get around school by lunchtime, at least.

At lunch Troy felt all eyes on him. Chad is going to lay it on me, Troy tohught to himself.

"Troy, you've got some expalining to do, man, first I hear Sharpay tripped you, then someone told me you did and she was just covering for you, god knows why, then to top it all off, you said She sure can move?"

Wow, Chad. You sure can sure fit a lot in a sentence."

"What;s this about, dude? You don't like Gabriella anymore?", Chad said, obviously confused.

"I just don't see her anymore. I mean, I don't get the same feeling i did that night on New Year's eve. There just aren't.. sparks anymore. Do you know what I'm saying?"

"I guess, but Sharpay? The Ice princess? Mountain lion Sharpay Evans?", he said with the expression of a disgusted 6- year old. It was like Sharpay had "cooties", whatever they were.

"There's just something about her, something so unique and I want to capture it and hold it in a bottle and watch it live life around me. I want to be with her, Chad."
