The Next Day

"Students! Please welcome the new students enrolling in our school, Sharpay Evans and her twin brother, Ryan. They just moved here from L.A. and I expect all of you to be nice to them, ok?" Ms Darbus said.

"Yes, Ms Darbus," her class said in a bored tone.

Ms Darbus rolled her eyes at her students. "Alright. Sharpay, you can take that free seat behind... Troy Bolton. And Ryan, you can take that seat there, to the left of Kelsi."

Sharpay walked with grace to her seat behind Troy.

Ryan went to sit next to Kelsi.

As Sharpay was passing Troy, Troy checked out her ass. Damn, I'd like to spank that, he thought. Then he shook his head. He was with Gabriella, his girlfriend of two years.

But still.

He turned around and smiled. "Hey. My name's Bolton. Troy Bolton," he said.

Sharpay smiled. "I know. Ms Darbus said that already."

Troy blushed. He mentally slapped himself. He only blushed once in front of a girl. That girl was Gabriella Montez. His girlfriend.

"Yeah.. She did," Troy said, unable to find any words.

"Troy Bolton! Please face the front. You'll have time to get to know Sharpay and Ryan later," Ms Darbus said.

"Um yeah. Sorry Ms D," Troy said and turned to the front.

Sharpay pulled out her notebook and wrote something on the first page of it. Then she tore it out and tapped Troy on the shoulder. When Ms Darbus wasn't looking, he turned around. Sharpay passed him the note.

Under his desk, Troy unfolded the note Sharpay had given him.

Coffee later? Let's go out for lunch :)

-Sharpay

"So, you transfered here from L.A., huh? What's it like there? And why'd you move here? I bet L.A. was hella better," Troy said as the waitress came to their table to get their orders.

"Coffee, with extra milk.. no sugar," Sharpay said.

"Um, I'll have what she's having," Troy said. Oh, c'mon, Troy, he thought, You know you like sugar with your coffee!!! Sharpay is just another girl. You do NOT have a crush on her!!!

When the waitress left to get their orders, Sharpay said, "Well it's really awesome, and no offence, but yeah, it kinda was better than uhm here. My mom got a job modelling here and my dad owns tons of country clubs around America, so it doesn't really matter where we are."

"Uh cool.. I think??" Troy said.

Sharpay smiled. "No, not really. It's a bit annoying sometimes. When there's a problem in one of the country clubs, we have to move, and after, like, 7 months, we move again."

"Oh. I see. Um." Troy said. He couldn't think of anything to say at all. He wasn't usually this uncomfortable around Gabriella.

Sharpay sipped her coffee. "Yeah... so, you and Gabriella are together, huh? How long?"

Troy blushed. "Ahh.. um I think one year and six months... But I'm thinking of breaking up with her.."

"Oh? Why?"

"I dunno... I don't think she's right for me. I don't think she's the perfect girl.."

"So who is right for you, Troy Bolton?" Sharpay asked and leaned in.

"Well, I like blondes...who like their coffee with extra milke, no sugar..who just tranferred from L.A... You know anywone?" Troy said and leaned in as well.

They kissed.

"I'm telling you, Gabriella. That girl's got more moves than an octopus in a wrestling match. I saw Troy with her at lunch yesterday. They went to that coffee shop nearby," Taylor said to Gabriella over the phone.

"No. Troy would never cheat on me. He got me the necklace..." Gabriella said, touching the necklace around her neck.

"Yeah but he got Sharpay coffee!" Taylor said.

"So?"

"Has he ever got you coffee?"

"Well, no, but you know I don't like coffee.." Gabriella said, putting her hand down.

"But has he ever offered?"

"Uh.. no. No, he hasn't."

"I rest my case," Taylor said.

"Yeah well. I still don't think Troy's cheating on me, Taylor. I'll believe it when I see it," Gabriella said and started chewing on her salad.
