Troy felt a tap on his shoulder as he was talking to Chad and Zeke, he turned around and grinned.

'Oh, so she lives!' he said.

'Very funny Bolton' Gabriella retorted.

'How come I've not seen you since Monday and its now Thursday?'

'You were too busy checking girls out' she replied, quick as a flash.

'Smooth Montez, very smooth'

'Whatever, actually I came to say thank you'

'Wow, alert the press! She's actually thanking me!' Troy said to his friends who laughed.

'Look Bolton, I came here to say thank you for what you did, not to argue with you' Gabriella told him, getting frustrated.

Thing is, she was starting to like him, and she knew she shouldn't, it wasn't her plan. Sometimes she'd like him, but then, snap, he'd return to being arrogant again.

'But you see, when you're angry, you're hot, so I can't resist' Troy whispered in her ear, placing a hand on her waist.

'Back off Bolton!' Gabriella snapped, before pushing him away.

He was definitely being a pig. She wondered how she could ever have thought she liked him.

'What if I don't want to?' he replied, putting it back on her waist.

'Then I'll make you' she whispered back, before kneeing him in the crotch.

Troy groaned and collapsed to the floor, Gabriella smirked and walked off. Chad helped Troy up, laughing so hard he thought he'd never stop.

'She got you good man' he said.

'Shut up. She'll pay for that you know.'

'What you gonna do to her?' Zeke asked cautiously.

'I'm not gonna hurt her physically you nut, just play her at her own game' Troy replied.

'Chad, find out what she's up to, what she has planned, any social events, then we'll just have to-' he started before Chad cut him off.

'Throw a party! But don't invite her, that will make her soooo mad dude'

'Yeah!' Zeke added.

'Good idea, spread the word, this Saturday, 7:00, anyone can come, apart from her'

Chad and Zeke nodded and went off to tell people. Troy knew it would make Gabriella mad but this way she'd see he was hot property and would make her realize she wanted him.

Besides, he was having second thoughts about how much he liked her after that little 'incident'.

He walked into homeroom to be instantly surrounded by people asking questions about the party. He smiled and walked to the front of the class, they all immediately quietened down.

'Ok guys, yes I'm having a party on Saturday, and all those of you who have been told directly by Zeke or Chad are invited.' He looked over at Gabriella when he said it.

She smiled, he was such an amateur. She got up slowly and joined him at the front of the class.

'Oh dear, what a coincidence, I'd also planned a party on Saturday. I mean, like yours, everyone's invited, except you of course, because you'll probably be too busy with your own party. But Sharpay and myself have been very busy sending out invites to celebrities, haven't we Shar?'

Sharpay nodded smiling, she could definitely learn a few things from this girl.

'Oh yeah, what celebrities?' Chad asked, Troy was too angry to reply.

'Oh you know, models, a few actors, Shar, did we hear back from the Knicks?'

Sharpay grinned,

'Of course, they all said they'd love to come, they can't wait to see you after so long'

The class was dumbstruck. Especially the guys on the basketball team.

'So, you can all come, or you can go to Troy's party, whatever, but, and I wasn't supposed to tell you this but, Michael Jordan promised me he'd come so it's up to you'

Just then, Miss Darbus walked in and the class returned to their seats.

When homeroom had ended, Troy grabbed Gabriella's arm.

'What are you playing at?' he asked her angry she'd ruined his plan.

'I don't understand' she replied, faking innocence.

'Having a party the same day as me, you just can't take it that mine will be better than yours' he hissed.

'Well if your so sure that yours will be better, why are so mad that I'm having one as well?'

'Because you know how none of these guys can resist meeting celebrities'

'I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Have a nice day Troy' she said sweetly, before strutting off to Sharpay who was waiting by the door.

'Nice work' Sharpay told her.

'Thanks, all we have to do now is make sure the Knicks and Michael Jordan come, else I'll never hear the end of it'. Gabriella said, making Sharpay laugh.
