He set his guitar down, and covered his face with his hands. "Damn it why does she affect me like this?"

Ralph, his drummer looked over to him, "Who Derek?"

Derek looked up realizing he spoke out loud, "If I tell you something will you not tell anyone? Because me and her have to tell people on our own"

"Of course man, I'm there for ya!" Ralph stood up and walked over next to him.

"Well…Casey and I are kind of…having a baby" he waited for delayed reaction.

Ralph laughed, "Good one D now what's the real thing that's bothering you"

Derek looked up at him with all seriousness, and sighed looking back down.

"Whoa you were serious?!" I feel like an ass now… Ralph was shocked.

"Yeah. And now she's going to Toronto for some casting Broadway thing, so she's packing now and she never told me about it!" Derek rubbed his eyes.

"Dude…what did your dad and her mom say?" Ralph asked being stupid.

"Oh they're thrilled!" sarcastically Derek answered.

"Well if she's packing, shouldn't you pack too and go with her?" Ralph was right for once in his life.

"You're right…I'm gonna go than thanks for the advice!" Derek grabbed his guitar, put it in his case and started to leave when him and Ralph turned around to hear the door open and see a blonde walking in.

"Sally….?" Derek put down his guitar, noticing his ex girlfriend standing there, smoking a cigarette.

"Hello Derek" she smiled shyly at him as she puffed out smoke.

"What are you doing here?" He knew he couldn't resist the smell of the smoke that reminded him of his addiction that was once his whole life.

"I was on my way to the café, and saw your car here so I thought I'd say hi" she set her purse down on the table.

"Oh…well hi! Got to go!" he picked up his guitar and started to walk past her when she put her hand on his chest and stopped him.

"I want to talk about things…" she put out her cigarette and looked up at him.

Two people, one blonde, one brunette both stepped out of the back of a truck looking tired while fixing their hair. Hoping no one saw anything both of them casually walked back into the party, the blonde fixing her hair while the brunette, said hi to all of his friends like they just went for a walk. They kept distant for the rest of the party, thinking of how much shit they'd get in if anyone knew. The party ended at around 2 am, and the two slowly walked out together. The brunette boy stood on his doorstep, sighing while trying to think of an explanation to what happened. The blonde girl stood there looking around feeling awkward, they both looked at each other. Finally the blonde spoke, "Um well goodbye…nice party?" she slowly backed up.

"Yeah uh…thanks for coming" he was still trying to figure out what happened.

She started heading towards her car and turned around quickly, "Yeah lets not tell anyone?"

"Please!" he chuckled awkwardly.

She turned back around and walked back to her car.

Flashback over. Sharpay you are in such shit. She stood there looking in the mirror wondering who she really was.

Gabriella opened the apartment door and smiled "Hey what are you doing here?"

Spinner chuckled, "Jeez can't a guy come over to say hi to a pretty girl?"

She blushed and opened the door, "Come in…", he entered the apartment and followed her to the kitchen. "Can I get you something to drink?"

"Oh I'm alright thanks…" he smiled.

"Okay." She smiled back, and sat down at the table while he joined sitting across from her.

Gabriella's phone vibrated, indicating a new text message, read it.

Throughout the East High are, and New York City, five teenagers screamed out "WHAT?" to the surprising news they had just received on their cell phones.

Spinner looked up, "What did I do?"

Gabriella still shocked stared at her phone, "This isn't freaking good!"

"What?!" Spinner thought he did something.

Gabriella looked at him and laughed, "Oh sorry I just got this text from a good friend about her and Dere-" she caught herself, "her and no one"

"Derek and who?" Spinner wanted to know what was wrong.

"Uh No one" Gabriella tried moving her phone away from Spinner.

Spinner grabbed her phone away from her and read the text.

"Um excuse me?" Gabriella was angry now.

"D-ROCK AND CASEY? HIS STEP SISTER?" Spinner gave her phone back and sat there shocked.

Gabriella sighed, "Don't tell anyone"

"I won't….I'm just shocked?" he sat there with a blank expression

"Who isn't right about now." She texted back
