A/N: Thanks for the amazing reviews and ideas. This chapter will be a bit of a filler for the next one which will actually have some fluff in. I might update again later if I get enough reviews and can get it done. Anyway here's the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story and all original characters.

Chapter 9

"I am going to…" Jason could see Kelsi struggling so he spoke up and made the decision for her.

"I think we should break up. Everyone is right we don't belong together." Kelsi's jaw dropped.

"What? I was going to stay with you but obviously I can see you don't care about me as much as I care about you." Kelsi ran out crying.

Jason was speechless. He couldn't believe he had just done that and given in to his friends when Kelsi was willing to lose hers for him.

The next day Jason kept trying to apologize to Kelsi but every time she would just walk away. Today Gabriella and Sharpay had managed to persuade Taylor and Kelsi in dressing sexily to make the boys jealous. (Pictures in profile).

The girls were defiantly getting the guys attention and every time they saw them they were getting even more jealous when another guy talked to them. Even Chad had started to notice Taylor and was really starting to miss her and for once in his life getting bored with making out with cheerleaders. They girls were starting to become more popular with other boys and they knew their plan to make the boys jealous was working. Aaron and Annabelle were happy to that they had managed to break them up but wanted to take things a step further.

A few weeks passed with them all still refusing to talk to each other and Ryan was caught quite often in the middle because he would hang around with the girls but when he was on his own the boys would ask him about what the girls were up to. The girls were planning on doing a performance in the Christmas show just like the one they did on their school trip just using a Christmas song instead. The boys knew the girls were performing so they decided to go and watch. They only had another week left of school before Christmas break.

Meanwhile, the girls were backstage waiting for Ms Darbus to start the show and finishing getting ready. Sharpay had pretty much been in charge of everything for their performance from the song, to the dance routine to the outfits.

"Sharpay are you sure this is really a good idea?" Gabriella asked looking down at the outfits Sharpay had chosen for them. (In Profile)

"Oh come on Gabriella, it will be fun and I have a pretty strong feeling that a certain basketball captain will be out there." Sharpay said smiling while Taylor and Kelsi just rolled their eyes at Sharpay's behaviour. Gabriella just smiled and turned around to finish doing her hair.

Gabriella's P.O.V

Why did Sharpay tell me Troy is in the audience? If I wasn't already nervous I now am even more nervous. I can't seem to stop thinking about Troy. I honestly don't think he meant to hurt me. He keeps sending me flowers to apologize, which I haven't told anyone else about because I know if the girls found out they would try and do something. I really need to talk to Troy.

End P.O.V

Before the girls knew, it was time for them to go onstage and perform. Of course Sharpay very excited about finally being able to perform in front of the audience. As the girls stepped out they saw the boys sitting a few rows from the front with their mouths open. Sharpay smirked at them as the music started to play. Through the speakers came jingle bell rock. The girls did their routine with Sharpay at the front at all times wanting the limelight. At the end Troy and Gabriella locked eyes briefly as he smiled at her. She smiled back before she walked off.

"How amazing was that. Everyone loved me." Sharpay exclaimed as the exited the stage.

"Erm Sharpay don't you mean us?" Kelsi asked.

"Yeah whatever." The girls rolled their eyes before walking off.

The girls got changed into their outfits that once again catch the boy's attention, for the after party, which would be at the Evans' mansion with the whole school there. (Again dresses in profile).

The party had been going for a little over 2 hours and the girls had all lost each other. Gabriella was standing outside when someone sneaked up on her putting their arms around her waist. It was Aaron. He was obviously drunk and tried to lean in and kiss her. She managed to get out of his grip and started to walk away only for him to pull her wrist hard.

Troy had just stepped outside to witness Aaron trying it on with Gabriella. He noticed she tried to walk away but Aaron just tightened his grip on her wrist.

"Hey Aaron." Troy shouted as he walked over. As he turned Troy punched him leading Gabriella back inside and upstairs into a empty room.

"Thanks." Gabriella said as they closed the door.

"No problem." Troy replied as he smiled at her.
