Title: Like a Shooting Star
Chapter 1
"Wildcats everywhere wave your hands up in the air that's the way we do it let's get to it time to show the world! Wildcat's in the house everybody sing loud!" The East High students chanted their cheer in their cars on the way to the basketball after party.
"So how does it feel to have lead the Wildcats to winning the Championship game Mr. Bolton? Gabriella asked making a pretend microphone with her fist and shoving it in Troy's face.
"Well it feels-" Troy was cut off by Taylor who was trying to drive. "Could we please not talk when I am driving!" Taylor said stopping short every time she hit the gas.
Gabriella and Troy giggled as they stared into each other's eyes Chad and Taylor exchanged glances as they leaned back against the seat.
"Okay we're here." Taylor said stopping the car and getting out breathing heavily.
"Land!" Chad said running out of the car.
"Hey I wasn't that bad!" Taylor said kicking him in the shin.
The gang ran inside to the club where almost every East High student was gathered around dancing to the DJ.
"A dance Ms. Montez? Troy asked holding his hand out like a man from the 1800's.
Gabriella took his hand as they hit the dance floor from the doorway Sharpay watched them with her beady little eyes. Ryan just gazed up at the ceiling waiting for his sister to make a move.
"Oh fries!" Ryan said running off. Sharpay rolled her eyes at him and followed. She made her way through the dance floor to reach Gabriella and Troy. "Congratulations Troy!" Sharpay said pushing Gabriella out of the way.
"Yeah thanks Sharpay."
Gabriella gently made her way back to Troy as Sharpay stalked off looking for her brother.
"Gabriella, I have something for you." Troy said as he dug through his pockets.
"Oh Troy!" A cheerleader said running towards him and leaping to his arms. Soon a crowd of kids lifted him onto their shoulders and began to chant again. Gabriella watched as he was taken away she decided to have some fun with Taylor who also lost her dance partner, Chad.
"Hey." Gabriella said taking a cupful of punch.
"So you lost your dance partner too huh?" Taylor said taking some chips.
"Yes." Gabriella said giggling. Watching Troy soar through the crowd.
"Things are definitely going to change in this school. Taylor said.
"What do you mean?" Gabriella asked.
"Well with you making the call-backs and you dating Troy and everything. Taylor said rambling on and on.
"Wait me and Troy dating?"
"Yeah."
"No, no, no. You've got it all wrong! We're just friends." Gabriella said.
"Okay then." Taylor said flashing a quick smile and walking off.
Me and Troy, dating! Gabriella thought to herself. No, he's made it clear that he just wants to stay friends, right. That was just a friendly kiss after the call-backs. Right?

It was getting late, Gabriella was standing outside in the cold air looking up at the stars.
"Gabriella hey!" Troy came running up to her and stood beside her. "The stars are beautiful tonight."
"Yeah." Gabriella said staring up at the sky.
"Look A shooting star!" Taylor called out from the window. Everyone looked up at the sky in awe .
"Make a wish." Troy said as Gabriella closed her eyes.
Troy leaned in the Gabriella to give her the kiss that they had both been longing for. He kissed her deeply, as Sharpay made her way through the crowd towards them her mouth hanging wide open. Sharpay pushed through to finally reaching the two.
"Hey Troy." Troy and Gabriella pulled away from each other, Gabriella was blushing. "Listen could you help me find the bathroom, I can't.
"I am kind of in the middle of something here." Troy said turning towards Gabriella.
"No it's fine I really should be going anyway, bye Sharpay, bye Troy." Gabriella said walking off.
"Gabrie-" Troy was cut off by Sharpay taking him off and linking their arms together.

"Gabriella why did you let Sharpay take Troy away from you like that?" Taylor said grabbing her by the arm.
Gabriella just shrugged her shoulders 'I don't know. I had to leave anyway."
"You do really." Taylor asked crossing her arms against her chest.
"Yes I have a science test tomorrow that I seriously need to study for." Gabriella replied shaking her head up and down.
"I'm not even going to ask. But one question, how was the kiss?" Taylor asked, her eyes glinting.
"It was nice, really nice." Gabriella said dazing off.
"Gabriella?" Taylor said waving her hand in front of her face.
"Wha- what?" Gabriella asked returning from her daydream.
"Nothing." Taylor laughed and took her best friend outside for a ride home.
