First Date

Part Five: Let the Bitching Begin

---Next Day at East High---

Sharpay smiled grimly, she knew today's plans were a go.

"What is she up to?" Gabriella whispered to Taylor. The two girls watched Sharpay smile, it was bitter, they knew she was up to something.

"I don't know, her smile's creepy, though," Taylor whispered back.

"I wonder if I should tell Troy," Gabriella said thinking out loud.

"If you did…how would Sharpay find out?" Taylor asked.

"Hmmm…good point. I think I'll tell him," Gabriella replied thinking in between. The bell interrupted Gabriella and Taylor's talks.

"Ok, well, I'll see you later," Taylor said stepping up and taking her books.

"Right, See you," Gabriella said following behind her friend.

"TROY!" Gabriella screamed instantly when she saw Troy walk out the door with Chad.

"Huh? What?" Troy asked confused, turning around. "Oh, hi Gab. What's up?"

"I need to talk to you," Gabriella said urgently.

"Sure, what about?" Troy asked casually. Gabriella went on her tip toes and whispered, "Sharpay is going to ruin my life if I don't back off from being your best friend."

"What!" Troy said instantly. "I'm going to punch the shi---."

"No!" Gabriella said. "Don't tell her I told you, she's going to ruin my life even more. Please don't." Troy looked down at Gabriella, "I can't let her do that to you."

"Don't worry, how much is she capable of anyway?" Gabriella said reassuring Troy.

"Fine," Troy said mesmerizing the serious tone in Gabriella's voice. "I won't say anything to Sharpay."

"Thank you, Troy," Gabriella said hugging Troy. Troy hugged her back and said, "If anything happens to you mentally, I swear I will do some ass kicking to a certain ice princess." Gabriella fought her lips to a smile, "Thanks Troy." The late bell for first period rang.

"Damn," hissed Troy. "I'll see you later, Gabby!"

"Alright," Gabriella smiled. "See you, Troy." Gabriella ran to her class and so did Troy.

---- Girl's bathroom ----

"So, these are the plans. I am in need of your help, is that ok?" Sharpay asked holding a couple papers.

"Hmmm….what's in it for us, drama queen?" sneered Rebecca.

"I told you already, I'd hook you up with college guys," Sharpay issued.

"Deal," Rebecca shook Sharpay's hand. Sharpay handed the forms of duties and plans for Rebecca to promise and sign, along with the two other girls she was with.

"Sharpay?" asked Jessica, one of the quiet girls.

"Yeah?" Sharpay asked while Rebecca signed the forms.

"Could you explain the plans in clear English for Casey and me again?" Jessica asked quietly. Casey nodded in agreement.

"Sure," Sharpay said with a bitter sweet smile. "We are going to ruin Gabriella Montez's life. Understood? By doing this, we have a few rumors to spread and some ganging up on. We need to do this by telling the guy, Brian Cole, she was asked to Spring Fling with that Gabriella is a slut and a dirty whore. She's only using him so she could sleep with him. Also that, we need to sabotage her life, I decided putting dog shit in her locker."

"Why are we doing this to her?" Casey asked her temper showing a bit. Sharpay glared and Casey cheeks reddened.

"She is trying to steal my 'future' boy friend!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"Oh, I see," Casey said with a better understanding now.

"Ok, good. You and Jessica need to sign the forms too," Sharpay said pointing to the blank lines. Jessica and Casey nodded.

"Sharpay…why are you using us to ruin Gabriella's life?" Rebecca asked tapping her foot.

"You guys are cheerleaders and you are superior to others." The three girls acknowledged that fact. "Plus you guys can spread gossip faster than me. And, when we're together, we'll be unstoppable to Gabriella. Sound good, doesn't it?" Sharpay asked folding her arms across her blue baby doll dress.

"That sounds good," Casey gleamed.

"Our first meeting is at my house, tomorrow?" Sharpay stated.

"Ok, we can come after cheerleading practice, is that ok?" asked Jessica.

"Sure, fine. Just come," Sharpay said she then fished through her Marc Jacobs tote to find three slips of paper. "Here's my address."

"You live in Burr wood!" Rebecca asked surprised.

"Yeah, why? Transportation problems?" Sharpay asked zipping her bag closed.

"No, I live there too," Rebecca said bluntly.

"Oh, that's cool," Sharpay shrugged nonchalantly. Burr wood was one of the finest areas in Albuquerque, New Mexico. (I made it up, by the way) The bell for the lunch period rang.

"I'll talk to you guys later, Oh yeah and here's my cell phone number," Sharpay gave another slip of paper with her number on it.

"Cool," Jessica and Casey said simultaneously. "Later."

"Toodles!" Sharpay smiled.

"Right," Rebecca said raising her eye brows. The four girls left the bathroom and departed for lunch.

"My plans will be a success," Sharpay said confidently giving off an evil smile. "Montez will regret the day she ever crossed Sharpay Evans."

---- Lunch ----

Sharpay took her seat at the drama club table.

"Hey Sis," Ryan said sitting next to her.

"Hey bro," Sharpay said sounding more happy that usual.

"You seem happier than usual today," Ryan commented.

"Yup, I am," Sharpay admitted. "I am."

"That's good, what's the occasion?" Ryan asked taking out his sandwich and taking a bit. Sharpay forked some her lettuce in her salad.

"I have plans for Montez," Sharpay said taking a bit. On the other side of the table, Kelsi was ease dropping.

"What did you have in mind," Ryan asked sipping his Evian water.

"I am going to spread rumors about Montez and put dog shit in her locker. I'm not telling you too many details now, but these are enough. That's my plan in general terms," Sharpay said cupping her hand near Ryan's ear. Kelsi turned around and her eyes went wide, "Oh no, Gabriella." Kelsi ran down the stairs with the flowing red carpet. Kelsi bumped into Jason and he gripped her wrists, "Whoa, are you ok, Kelsi?"

"Huh? What? Yes," Kelsi stammered. "I need to talk to Gabriella."

"Why? What happened?" Jason said loosing his grip.

"I'll tell you later, ok?" Kelsi said quickly.

"Yeah sure, ok," Jason said letting Kelsi pass by.

"Gabriella!" Kelsi said immediately when she reached her table. "Did you know that Sharpay is going to ruin your life?"

"Yes, I did," Gabriella said looking at Kelsi. "Here take a seat." Gabriella ushered Kelsi to the seat next to Gabriella.

"Well, do you know what Sharpay is doing?" Kelsi asked.

"Huh? No, what?" Gabriella asked turning to Kelsi.

"She's going to spread nasty rumors about you and dump like….dog shit in her locker!" Kelsi stated frantically. Gabriella's eyes went wide, "You're serious?"

"Yeah, I overhead Ryan and Sharpay talking about it," Kelsi said. "I didn't hear anything else…I'm sorry."

"Thanks for the heads up, Kelsi," Gabriella said hugging Kelsi.

"No problem. I should go, Sharpay might suspect something," Kelsi said standing up.

"Right, good point. I'll see you later," Gabriella said waving.

----- Montez Residence ------

Gabriella had just reached her home; her cell phone rang telling her she had a new voice message. Gabriella entered her password and put her Treo to her ear, and deep voice came on, "Yo Bitch. You're a fucking whore and nobody likes you, skank. M'home boy, Brian, just asked ya cause he felt bad that no one would ask ya. Everyone knows ya slept wit half the grade and college dudes. You're a fucking whore. WHORE, WHORE! No one likes you, all your friends are just your friends cause they feel bad for you, nerd. Go on, nerd assface, delete this message. Just know that you're a bitch, you're a whore, you're a nerd, you're hated, and you're skank from hell. Go fuck herself in HELL! Fuck you, bitch!" The message ended. Gabriella stood in mid shock; she dropped her phone to the floor. Gabriella had the word, 'whore' running through her mind. She started to cry and she bent down to pick up her phone, it was a blocked caller. Gabriella cried and then her mom knocked on the door, "Gabby? Are you ok in there?"

"Yeah mom," Gabriella said after clearing her throat. "I'm fine. I'll be down for dinner in a minute."

"Ok dear," her mom said in a sweet voice. "It will be ready in fifteen minutes."

"Ok," coughed Gabriella.

----- The next day at school -----

Sharpay walked around and she looked at the message she sent to Gabriella last night, she had disguised Ryan's voice and made up a dirty message with Jessica, Rebecca, and Casey. She replayed it, "That was good." She smiled, "Time for phase two." Sharpay walked up to Brian and quickly whispered in his ear what theory she needed to tell him.

"She what?" He asked urgently acting as if he didn't hear.

"I said," Sharpay muttered in his ear. "She slept with half the guys in the whole damn school. She's a fucking slut! I'm only telling you because I know you'll get hurt like most of the guys she bitched on." His eyes widened, should he believe what Sharpay was saying or just pretend like it's not real?

"Brian, I have to go, I'm sorry about the truth," Sharpay said in fake, but acted out well, sympathy.

"Thanks for the heads up, Sharpay. You're really nice," Brian said smiling. 'Nice,' Sharpay thought.

"No problem. Just believe what I say because I tell no lies," Sharpay smiled. Hah, no lie…is she joking?

"Bye Sharpay," Brian said leaving to his homeroom.

"Toodles," Sharpay smiled. She left thinking, 'Yes, my plan worked out perfectly.' Sharpay then text messaged Casey, Jessica, and Rebecca typing,

Hey all my girls!

Sharpay here, I bet you know that anyway. Just wanted to let you know that my plans worked out perfectly. Montez won't suspect a thing. It's hysterical! Thanks so much for your help. I'm sure the next phase will do just as well. I told Brian everything we talked about the other day. And, the message probably worked out well too, to break her mentally. I'll give you the reviews when I reached homeroom.

Toodles,

Sharpay Evans

Sharpay clicked send. Secretly in other homerooms, Jessica, Casey, and Rebecca flipped open their phones.

"Yes," all the girls said in different rooms. They all smiled.

End Part Five.

Previews for Part Six:

"Do it, now!" Jessica cried frantically.

"Damn, it's spilling out!" Rebecca said as she saw some of it get on her cashmere sweater. "This cost one hundred fricken bucks. Damn it!"

"Shit, this is so gross!" Casey cried.

"Shut up, girls. Quickly, quickly!" Sharpay said stuffing the poop into the locker. Then the four girls slammed the locker door shut.

"Phew!" they all sighed simultaneously.
