A/N: I am so sorry for the lack of updates. I had a major writer's block and also had loads of home work. I will try to update as soon as possible. Thank you to all those that reviewed. Well, enjoy the chapter!

"The lead male role will be given too…"

Ms. Darbus gave a dramatic pause. Ben was so worried that Gabriella held his hand to calm him down. The gang was crossing their fingers, praying it was Ben that got the role and not Troy.

"Ben Clark." After Ms. Darbus said those two words, the auditorium had erupted with cheering from the students. A smile appeared on Ben's face. Gabriella let out a sigh of relief. The gang ran up to congratulate the two of them.

"I knew you two would win!" Kelsi said excitedly.

"Everyone knew that they were going to win." Zeke confirmed.

Chad ran up to the stage and said, "Celebration party at my place tonight!" and then walked out of the stage. He then met up with his friends.

"Uh… Chad?" Sharpay asked him.

"Yeah?" he said.

"Do your parents know about this party?" Chad's happy expression turned to one of horror.

"Crap! I have to make a phone call!" Chad then ran out of sight while the gang laughed out loud.

No one noticed a certain someone give Ben a deadly glare that would have made Sharpay proud. Troy stormed out of the theatre and didn't give it a second glance.

Chad's parties were known to be full of loud music and a lot of food. Anyone who went would have a great time.

Gabriella never liked wild parties because you never knew what could happen in one. The only reason Gabriella liked this party was because Ben was with her and if things got out of control, she knew he would take her home. She knew she could trust him but there was always this little voice in the back of her mind that sounded a lot like Sharpay. The voice always reminded her.

You thought you could trust Troy but look what he did to you. How can you trust Ben when he is the one that has the power to cause even more damage than Troy ever had?

She always ignored it but couldn't help but feel that what it was saying was true. She was standing next to the punch when Ben walked over to her. Other girls were staring at him and were shooting Gabriella jealous looks.

"I have been looking everywhere for you." He whispered in her ear, sending chills downs her spine. She couldn't believe that he could make her feel like that.

"Well, you found me." She replied.

"Want some punch?" he asked and she nodded. He poured her and himself a drink and they took a sip. The punch tasted kind of strange but they kept drinking it like if they were addicted to it,

With each sip, they lost conscious of their surroundings and only noticed one another. Their visions were blurred ad they could barely stand straight. They were both in for a surprise the next day.
