I do not own the celebrities or plot from HSM. (Duh, how could I own a celebrity?) I do, however, own this story's plotline and OCs. The e-mail addresses, phone numbers, et cetera are completely made up. Reviews are welcome but no flamers. If you have any ideas for small events in a chapter let me know:D

Also I would like everyone to know that I have no idea how Zac Efron or any other cast member actually acts. For all I know, they're completely the opposite of how I describe them. This is completely fictional. (Please don't sue me!)

Thank you to: Lil Spazzy Q

Warning: I totally watched Hairspray.

"Oh, come on Sonja! Can't you even wake yourself up in the morning!" I glanced up from the toast I was eating. Ashley barged into my trailer. "Oh," she said in surprise, "You're already up."

"Is that a surprise? I mean, I am old enough to wake myself up once in a while."

"Then why aren't you on set?"

"On set?"

"Uh, yeah! You need to film your dance with Zac today! You know, the really intimate one where you kiss but decide it's mistake and you tell him to listen to his heart and he picks Vanessa!"

My whole world stopped. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, last night! Man, this is going to be awkward.

"I-I'll be right there."

"Oh, and prepare to be bombarded with Zarmen."

"With what?"

"Zarmen. Y'know, Zac and Carmen?"

"Okay, whatever. I'll be there in a few."

"Oh and here's your costume." Ashley threw the dress at me. It was a red dress with sparkles and reached up to my knees. It had thin straps that matched with a small silver necklace with a red ruby I had.

I groaned as I walked into the bathroom to change. Today was going to be yesterday all over again, except with more harsh words spoken.

I walked out of the trailer and closed the door lightly behind me not to wake Serena up.

As I approached studio 16 I felt a wave of panic flow through my body. I wanted to run as fast as I could away from there. Angry with myself for being a coward I sucked in a deep breath and proceeded into the set. It was set up like a club and there was a DJ, loud music, and lots of people milling around on set. The director glared at me.

"Sonja, you've made us wait half an hour. Get ready now." I fought back the urge to snap back that I was never told about the time. As I walked onto the dance floor and stood across from Zac I noticed his smirk. Oh no he didn't.

"Did you forget to tell me something, Zachary?" Zac's smirk turned into a laugh.

"My bad."

I glared at him as I stood beside the makeshift bar. The director settled into his chair and the cameras activated.

"Take fifteen."

I picked up the cola that was on the bar as everyone began to dance around me. I took a sip and stared off into space. I knew Zac was weaving his way through people to reach me. I felt it when he was right behind me.

"Aren't you too young to drink?" He asked in an overly sweet tone. I fake laughed and turned to face him.

"It's cola. It's meant for ages 0-99." Zac laughed his fake laugh. We sounded oh so real.

"Can we talk in private?"

"About what?"

He glared at me and I knew he was enjoying being able to. "Don't do that. You know what it's about." I smiled and got up, taking Zac's outstretched hand. He led me through the people and through a door on the other side. We came out to another part of the set set up to be a VIP room.

"What's up?" Zac walked over and pretended to be really agitated.

"I can't choose! I can't choose between Gabriella and Sharpay. It's driving me insane." If only.

The director cued the music. I began to sing the part and move across the set like the choreographer had shown me to. Zac followed but wasn't actually singing. The whole song was actually very cute, about how Zac should listen to what's inside but he can't choose. Then we end up having to stare deep into each other's eyes. I knew the kiss was coming but somehow I still wasn't ready for it.

When Zac's lips met mine I felt a wave of emotion take over. Damn Zac for making me feel this way! It took a moment for me to remember to pull away like the scene is supposed to go.

"No, Troy, I-" Zac looked away.

"I'm sorry, Ashlene. I just- got caught up in the moment."

"So did you figure it out?" Zac nodded, his back still facing me.

"I'm in love with Gabriella." I smiled, and even though I was supposed to look sad in that smile, I felt like the emotion coming across was real.

"Then go get her." Zac turned towards me, smiled and then raced out to where Vanessa was stationed in the club. He reached out, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her like there was no tomorrow.

"And cut! Good job everyone." We all smiled and walked to the water table. The director came up to me.

"Excellent Sonja. The emotion on your face was very life like and your dancing has greatly improved." When the director walked away Zac glared at me.

"It's not like I had nothing to do with that." I glared back at him.

"You didn't. You never helped at all! It was just extra practice. My dancing only improved when I figured out I had to sing! That had nothing to do with you." Zac glared harder at me.

"You could cut this tension with a knife," Ashley commented as she pulled me away. Once we were out of his hearing distance she started asking questions. "What happened between you two? I mean, before was bad, but now is worse. And weren't you supposed to make him like you?"

Monique came up behind her. "Serena just told me that you two kissed."

"WHAT?" Ashley's head did a double take as she looked at me.

"No way. Why didn't you tell us?" Corbin asked, appearing from no where.

"Does everyone know?" I tried hard not to yell.

"Know what?" Lucas asked as he came up beside Ashley.

"That her and Zac kissed." Monique said casually.

"Um…yeah…it was kind of in the script…" He said matter of factly.

"Nope, it happened last night! It was oh-so-romantic!" Serena sang as she stood beside.

"How could you tell everyone?" I was trying to keep quiet so that Zac wouldn't hear me.

"Oh, so you weren't going to tell us?" Lucas asked, sounding hurt.

"Maybe because it wasn't our mission, maybe she actually likes him…" Corbin smirked.

"Of course not! He came onto me!" I exclaimed.

"That's what they all say." Ashley smiled.

"I think we need to call a meeting," Serena said in a serious tone. Monique grabbed my arm and dragged me into a secluded room, away from the set.

They sat me down on a couch on the far right side of the room while the rest of them went to the other side. They whispered for a couple of minutes and then Lucas came and sat down beside me, while everyone else followed.

"We've come to a conclusion that you should be like…"

"Carmen." Ashley finished.

"WHAT?!" I yelled as I spat out the cola I was drinking.

"And be more provocative." Monique slightly smiled.

"You have to be kidding, right?"

"Well you lost him, you have to get him back!" Serena said.

"I don't want him!" I almost yelled.

"What about us? Your promise to us?" Lucas asked.

I just sat there for a moment. "Why can't I just be me?"

"Wait a second, that might actually work." Serena looked like she was actually thinking.

"What, how?" Ashley looked confused.

"Well if he fell for her once, why can't he fall for her twice…and maybe more, because she keeps screwing it up?"

"But-" I started but a glare from Serena shut me up.

"Do it!" She ordered as she pushed me out the door. I heard a lock behind me and I rolled my eyes. As I walked down the hall to the exit of the studio I came across Zac and Carmen.

Zac had Carmen pushed against the wall. He was in a lip lock with her and I'm pretty sure his hand was up her shirt. She had her arms wrapped around his neck. I nearly puked. Nearly.

I rushed past them attempting not to stare, which was pretty hard considering the noises they were making. I felt really disturbed the entire way back to my trailer.

"Hey Sonja!" I ignored Zac as he called out behind me. "Sonja!" I whipped around.

"What?" I snapped.

"I wanted to tell you I don't want to go on those stupid fake dates anymore. I'm pretty sure everyone forgot about the whole incident and I really really can't stand spending more time with you than I have to."

"Whatever. It's not like I ever cared for you."

"Then it's all good." Zac turned to go and I sighed.

"No, Zac, it's not."

"What?"

"It's not all good. I hate that you're with Carmen. She's a slut and totally mean. Can't you see that?"

"You're just saying that because you're jealous."

"No, Zac, I'm not."

"Whatever."

"Zachary David Alexander Efron!" A look of surprise came on his face.

"What'd I do?"

"You're ruining everything by being with her. Your friends are worried and frankly, so am I."

"So you do care about me?"

"I care enough to make sure you don't disappoint your fans." With those words I left him alone to ponder what I'd said.
