Chapter One

Beginning Of An Ice Age

As Sharpay walked down the hallways of East High, she could hear all the cheerleaders and jocks taunting her, hurdling cruel words at her.

"Look at those glasses…"

"Makes her look like a bug-eyed freak…"

"Her parents must be ashamed…"

"Are you sure that's Ryan's sister...?"

The last insult struck her hard. She could feel tears starting to from in her eyes. Was she that hideous? She always thought she looked just fine. As the first tear started falling from her watery eyes, Sharpay started to dash for the bathroom. She knew then that she wouldn't be going to class today. The insults were just too much.

"BRRRING"

Sharpay's alarm clock woke her from her nightmare. First day of school. First day of torture. She slowly got out of bed, looking at the alarm clock. 5:30am.She usually didn't get up this early. But that was when she didn't have to worry about her appearance. Now, everything depended on her appearance. If she was going to gain respect at school, she had to work hard. And the first step was to wake up at 5:30 in the morning.

As she headed to her washroom, she reviewed all of Sarah's advice in her mind. According to Sarah, she had to avoid eye contact. Walk with her head lifted up, nose in the air, but not too high. Give off an aura of confidence.

When Sharpay finished in the washroom, she went into her gigantic walk-in closest. When she did, she thought she would go blind. She was used to duller colours of dark green, muddy brown, pitch black, and such. But now, there were bright colours: bright pink, sky blue, and not to mention all the sparkles. Next time, she would just have to bring sunglasses with her.

One outfit stood out to her. It was all ready assembled, and it had a sticky note attached.

Sharpay:

This will be the perfect for the first day of school.

-Sarah

Sharpay thought she might as well put it on. The outfit was simple, but it was cute: a simple pink top with a simple denim skirt. Just perfect, thought Sharpay. After she put it on, she applied her make-up and headed downstairs for breakfast.

As she had breakfast, Sharpay made small talk with her family. She could tell her brother was still amazed at her transformation.

When Sharpay was finished eating, her brother offered to drive her to school. She usually took the bus so that people wouldn't make fun of Ryan because she was his sister. It felt nice to travel to school together with her brother.

As they arrived at East High, Sharpay's breathing became quick, unsteady gasps for air. She calmed herself down, telling herself it would be okay. And before she knew it, she was standing in front of the intimidating doors of East High. She was about to enter a place where everybody would judge her. She was about to enter hell.

Feeling like she was hyperventilating, she watched the eyes of the students in the hallway land on her, her feet felt like they were glued to the floor and felt a tug at her arm; she looked to see it was Ryan. She shook her head; he rolled his eyes as he linked her arm with hers and pulled her along with him.

Remember what Sarah said, she didn't want to ruin her chance she flicked her hair and walked with a confidence in her step that she didn't even know she had

The hallway had gone silent, wondering who this girl was and what she was doing on the arms of one of the most popular boys in school.

Stopping she looked around people had moved out their way, like the red sea, they had separated for her. She grinned, as she gleamed Ryan squeezed her hand and moved away from her.

Okay there was no one but herself, where to first, her locker of course, she adjusted her bag and made her way over to her locker.

The popular kids hung out in this part of hallway, with Troy Bolton's locker being only a few lockers away from hers, so the people followed him where he went. That's why Sharpay just wanted to get her books out and move along, like any other day, but this was no normal day.

"So, you new?" Troy asked her casually resting his elbow on the locker behind him.

"Huh" Sharpay looked at him confused, normally she would play with her glasses, when she was confused or thinking, so when put her hand to her face she was surprised to feel that her glasses weren't there.

"Are you new, cause you know, I haven't seen you around?"

Ryan watched the scene unfold in front of him, he found it funny as one of his friends couldn't even recognize his own sister, but when he saw that glint in Troy's eye, he knew he had to stop this conversation going any further "Man stop pushing up on my sister" Ryan said protectively, walking over to Sharpay and putting his arm around her.

"You're sister, I thought you're sister was that ge-"he stopped talking those chocolate eyes were similar and her features she looked just like, oh my god, she was that geeky girl.

"Oh my" he said gob smacked his mouth wide open, this was Sharpay Evans, she had turned into a Goddess over the summer.

"Yeah" Sharpay nodded awkwardly looking down.

Troy shook his head to make sure that what he was seeing was right, no glasses, different hair; she looked like a totally different person.

Sharpay was getting bored of this; Ryan was talking to her as she placed some books in her locker and held the others.

Looking down the hallway she searched for her friends, the decathlon team, she saw that back of a person that had brown wavy hair, and she turned around.

"Argh" she screamed heading to the other side of the hallway.

Ryan turned to his friends, seeing his sister go off in the direction of her friends, he was happy for her, but he didn't want any jocks or anybody for that fact hitting on his sister.

"Someone looks like they had a good summer" Chad chuckled as Sharpay ran off in search of her friends.

"Knock it off man" Ryan proclaimed hitting Chad in the shoulder.

"Gabby, Tay how was your summer girls?" Sharpay asked looking at her two closest friends.

Taylor gave her a dirty look, she was probably a cheerleader or somebody doing some kind of first day dare which she wasn't in the mood for, her and Gabriella still hadn't found Sharpay yet who was normally earlier than the both of them "Who are you and do we know you?" Taylor asked in a threatening tone, she my have been one of the smartest students in school but that didn't mean she didn't pack a mean punch.

Gabriella had been studying the person's face there was something about her, that was familiar but she didn't know who "But you do look freakishly like-" she muttered with a thinking look on her face.

"SHARPAY" Taylor's eyes widened.

Sharpay giggled nervously, hoping her friends would still accept her "Um yeah" she held her hands up and smiled.

"Girl you look good" Taylor complimented pulling her into a hug.

"Really you don't think I over did the foundation after the concealer?" she asked touching her face, explaining the make up technique Sarah had taught her.

"I don't know what you mean but you really do look great" Gabriella laughed hugging Sharpay.

"Thank you"

As Sharpay said this, the bell rang, so the three friends hurried to homeroom with Ms. Darbus.

It was now 3rd period. 2 minutes until lunch. It seemed that the more Sharpay stared at the clock, the slower it went.

Finally the bell rang, and Sharpay gathered her stuff, and headed to her locker. On the way there, the head cheerleader, Lucy, stopped her.

"Hi, my name is Lucy. You must be new here. Would you like to try out for the cheerleading team?"

Obviously Lucy hadn't heard that Sharpay had gotten glamified. In fact, Lucy seemed so clueless, Sharpay couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You want me to try out for the cheerleading team? That is the funniest thing I have ever heard!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"I honestly don't get what's so funny."

"Sharpay! I've been looking for you everywhere. Come on, you can sit with me at lunch." Ryan said all this as he dragged Sharpay away from Lucy.

Lucy stood there in complete shock and horror. That was Sharpay? That was the Sharpay Evans? But it couldn't be. Sharpay Evans was a complete geek, with no fashion sense. How could this happen? Lucy no longer wanted Sharpay to try out for cheerleading. Sharpay was a threat, and the threat is always the enemy.

"Sharpay" she stopped in her steps to turn to look at the brunette approaching her, panting slightly.

"Yup" she answered looking at one of her closest friends.

"It's good I found you me and Taylor can't come to lunch because Mr Roberts wants to talk about the decathlon but if you want you can-" she revealed, what she wanted to tell her after looking around for the first five minutes of lunch, she herself didn't want to be late for the meeting.

She and Taylor were co-captains of the Decathlon team and without saying Sharpay was also a captain and she always went to all the meetings and put her input in as well, hence telling her she could come to.

But seeing her with Ryan, Gabriella understood something else was going on.

"No, you girl's go ahead I'm sure that's fine I'll catch up with you later" Sharpay informed the brunette with a smile.

Gabriella nodded taking the information in "Okay bye" waving as she turned away.

"Bye"

She had gotten so caught up with Ryan and him taking her to lunch, she had forgotten to tell Taylor and Gabriella but this sort of worked out then if they weren't coming to lunch,

They always had this first day ritual where they would go buy sloppy Joes and see who could eat it the fastest, but Sharpay guessed that would have to be put on hold for now.

As soon as Ryan and Sharpay entered through the doors of East High's cafeteria, the popular table immediately called them over. Unfortunately, Lucy was sitting at the table right next to them. Throughout the whole entire lunch break, Lucy kept on shooting glares at the back of Sharpay's head. Feeling like daggers were being thrown at her, she saw through the corner of her eye Lucy glaring at her. She remembered more of Sarah's advice. Play fire with fire. Or in this case, play ice with ice. Sharpay whipped her head around, and shot Lucy a glare so icy, heartless, cold, ruthless, and mean, Lucy looked away in fear.

Has Lucy turned away, the popular crowd drew Sharpay back into their conversation, making her forget all about Lucy.

Meanwhile, a blue-eyed brunette was staring at her from right across the table.

Jeremy Ramirez slammed his locker, he groaned in frustration. On the other side, was the usual basketball posse. The team was obviously talking about the hot beach babes they saw. Jeremy had stopped looking at the girls when he was at the beach. He just wasn't able to keep his mind off the gorgeous blonde he had seen the other day. She was too beautiful. Then, he got a sudden idea. He whipped out his cell, and dialed a number.

1 ring.

2 rings.

3 rings.

"Hello?"

" Bolton, I need your help."

Walking over to the basketball court on the west side of the town, he saw who had called him up bouncing a ball around, and then shooting.

In

"What do you want Ramirez?" Troy called out before he got there.

The young teenager turned to smirk as he heard the voice "I'll come to that in a minute" he told Troy calmly, knowing the other boy was anxious to know what this was all about.

"Come on you woke me up tell me what you want or I'm going"

"Fine, let's play first" Jeremy challenged bouncing the ball at Troy, he caught it, after all they were the two best basketball players in the town, and they were at a court so they may as well play.

And then after that Jeremy would tell him what this meeting was all about, because he didn't meet up with his biggest rival just for anything and then everything would become clearer to Troy.
