"So, Gabby…" Sharpay said, looking at Gabriella, as she approached her by her locker, "I see you've been doing good with your makeup. And you're wearing pink!"

"Yeah…" Gabriella said, fiddling with her skirt, "Is it okay?"

"Very." Sharpay said, "Now, I have an idea for your next lesson."

"Okay, what did you have in mind?"

"Flirting." Sharpay said, biting her lip, "You see… Ryan loves to flirt. He can flirt with a bunch of girls, and he's good at it, so if you want him to notice you, you have to flirt with him. And possibly other guys to make him jealous."

"Just use other guys like that?" Gabriella questioned, "I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with that."

"Gabriella, you need to relax a bit!" Sharpay said, "Okay, do you have any idea as to how you catch a guy's attention? We'll do that first, and move on to flirting later…"

"No." Gabriella said, shaking her head.

Sharpay got an evil smirk on her face, as she saw Troy coming into the hall, and stopping by his locker, "Then I'll just have to show you, wont I?" she waved bye to Gabriella and made her way towards Troy's swaying her hips seductively from side to side.

She brushed pass him, making sure to look extremely cute and sexy, letting her long legs catch his attention. She knew what looked good on herself, and the parts which looked good, were the parts she should show off.

As she was pass him, she could feel his eyes burning into her back, or maybe rather her butt. She turned around again, and waved flirtingly at him, as she made her way towards Gabriella again.

Gabriella just watched, her jaw hanging open, "God!" she exclaimed, "You didn't even say a word, Sharpay!"

"No," Sharpay simply said, "And that's because I know how to catch a guy's attention. I can even do that to guys who has a girlfriend, wanna see?"

"No, Sharpay, I don't really think tha-" she was cut off, because Sharpay had quickly made her way towards Chad, who was chatting with Zeke and Jason.

She pulled her top down a little, making sure her cleavage was clearly visible, before flapping her hair onto her back, and hitching her skirt up a little higher. Then she put a flirty look back on her face, and made her towards the three boys, smiling sweetly.

As she passed them, she knew that at least one of them was looking, but she wasn't quite sure it was Chad. But she made her way back to Gabriella not looking at them.

"Did it work?"

"He was checking you out." Gabriella said, "But Taylor doesn't look too happy."

"Whoops." Sharpay said, shrugging her shoulders.

"You're gonna have to apologise later." Gabriella said, shooting her an evil glare.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Sharpay mumbled, just as Ryan was standing by his locker, fixing out his books, "Now…" she told her, "It's your turn. Try to catch his attention. No talking! …just walking."

"I'm not sure I can do that…" Gabriella begun.

Sharpay just shook her head, "We wont know if you can, until you try." She nudged her, and gave her a push down the hall, "Go!"

Gabriella pulled her white tube top a little down and started to move her hips seductively from side to side. She smiled her cute smile, getting closer to Ryan. He was still looking in a book, not even seeing her coming.

Gabriella was just a few feet from him when she fell. A bag pack was in her way. Her feet were tangled into one of its strophes, which made her fall.

"Aaaw!" She exclaimed, really high. Sharpay ran over to her, catching everybody's attention by her boobs jumping up and down because of her running. Gabriella looked after Ryan, but he was gone. "See, Sharpay I told you I couldn't! I am going to get such a big bruise. Sharpay, how can you walk in these shoes?"

"You'll get used to it. Raise, you don't wanna lie there all day. Come on." Sharpay said and gave her a hand. Gabriella grabbed it and got up. "We have to work on that. Come on, I know where we can try again. Without people staring at you." Gabriella followed Sharpay into the auditorium and up on the stage.

"Now, try on me."

"You're getting better, girl!" Sharpay exclaimed, jumping up and down in her high heels, "Wonderful, Gabby!"

"You really think I'm getting better?" Gabriella asked, as she took a seat by the end of the stage. She flipped her legs out, so they were dangling from there.

Sharpay took a seat next to her, opening her bag pack up. She took out two bottles of water and an apple. She looked at Gabriella, "You want an apple too?"

"Do you have an orange?" Gabriella asked.

"Sure." Sharpay smile, handing her one, "I figured we could sit here until the bell rings. Just eat and talk."

"Cool," Gabriella said, "So, what do you wanna talk about?"

"I have a question, actually…" Sharpay said, lying back on the stage, looking at the ceiling, "Why do you like Ryan? I mean… You don't speak that much to each other, and he isn't really one of the hottest most popular guys in school. Not like… Troy or Chad."

"Well…" Gabriella said, lying back too, "I like him because he's different. I like the way he dresses, he doesn't look like a slob. And really, the school didn't take notice to me after Troy and I didn't happen. But I don't care. Popular guys like Troy should have popular girls like you."

Sharpay let out a giggle, "You really think so?"

"Are you kidding me!?" Gabriella exclaimed, "You and Troy would be like… the perfect couple!"

"Ha, nah…" Sharpay said, "I don't really think so. We're way too different."

"That's what you say." Gabriella smiled, "People think you're so mean, Sharpay, but when they get to know you, you're not. You're helping me with all this. That's sweat."

"Well… I like you, Gabriella." Sharpay said, "And if you can make Ryan happy, which I believe you can after some advice from me, then I'll have to be around you more. And you're sweet too."

Gabriella let out a giggle, "You just scares me sometimes. You come off a little strong."

"Well, that's me…" Sharpay said, arching her eyebrows together, "If you want to be friends with me, you gotta take the whole package."

"Don't worry," Gabriella said, "I intend to take the package."

Again, sorry about the short chapter. The next one should hopefully be longer.

Toodles, Stessa and Noukka.
