A/N: Sorry it took so long! I had an exam to study for! Well, lets not get tired with the Author's Notes! I do not own Zac, Ashley nor Vanessa… and either Corbin… or the others! To all Zashley's fans I have bad news: I just went on youtube and found pictures of Zac and Vanessa kissing at the beach and holding hands! What's the truth Zac?

Chapter 2: Rumors

Both were hurt but the only one smiling was Vanessa. She'd done it. She broke them up. It was time for her to move in with Zac.

"Ashley come out of the bathroom! There's something I have to show you!'' Jennifer screamed from the computer room.

"All right I'm coming gee!'' As she stares at the website she catches the words

"For all Zanessa's fans! Last night was NY biggest senior's Prom were Zac, Vanessa, and Ashley were seen outside of the Plaza arguing. Apparently non lookers heard Ashley say she hated Vanessa and tried to sabotage them, non lookers say Zac was defending Vanessa while she admits to the camera Ashley was being vicious and almost threw her cocktail on her dress. Close friends say they saw Zanessa make out in the V.I.P lounge. But friends of Ashley denies the rumors saying Zac was taking Ashley to the prom. At the end of the night, paparazzi caught Vanessa hugging Zac and at the same time crying… Ashley is now on our OUT list for making America's sweetheart cry."

Ashley's mouth flew open letting out a screeching sound. Tears welled up in her eyes 'till they fell on her pink cheeks. Rumors hurt, and that was a complete lie. As she dialled Zac's number Jennifer stared at her sister with worried eyes.

''Hullo?

-Zac??? It's Ashley

- What do you want (in the distance we can hear Vanessa say who is it)

- You little bastard! I just went on Zanessa website and there is a complete rumor! Why aren't you doing anything?

- Because it's true. Listen Vanessa is here I have to go.

- Tell her she's a slut… bye asshole

- Bye bitch."

This was outrageous, complete nonsense! How… how can people be so blind????

"Were are you going?" asks Jennifer

"Were do you think? The studio! I have to finish filming High School Musical 2 before August. Listen Jen? Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.'' As she kisses her sister good bye, her phone vibrates: YOU'VE GOT MAIL:

ZEFRON: ASHELY CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST

NIGHT?

And just like that Jen says:

"Don't give in those blue eyes Ashley. Don't.''

"I wont'' Ashley smiles.

20 minutes later Ashley comes in the set to film the part were Zac will confess who he loves, Sharpai or Gabriella.

"All right… ready? Annndddd Action!''

"Sharpai… listen you're sweet and funny… but I belong with Gabriella. Nothing will stop us from loving each other.'' Zac leans forward to meet Vanessa's lips. Ashley's reaction was the way it was supposed to be: confused and sad. But when Zac said those lines, the feeling wasn't just the act, it was like Zac did mean them. Without Ashley knowing, tears fell from her perfect face,

"Ashley! That was perfect! Your crying scene was brilliant!'' The camera was still filming, but the actors knew Ashley wasn't acting. And just when Troy had to tell Sharpai he wanted to be her friend she blurs out:

"ZAC! Did you see what you did to me? You made me think you loved me and then you just smooch that little fagot??? What's wrong with you? Are you a two faced? You didn't even try to tell people those rumors were fake! You didn't come for me when I ran away! What is wrong with you???" Everyone was silent, but the director cheers to Ashley:

"THAT WAS GREAT! DO THAT AGAIN BUT SAY TROY!'' Everyone stares at him and then Ashley. But she wasn't there, she was running in the bathroom.

"I'll better go get her.'' Vanessa says in a sudden interest.

Minutes later Vanessa was leaning on the wall staring with black piercing eyes at Ashley.

"Ashley, there is something I need to tell you" Vanessa says with a soothing voice.

"When Zac asked you to the prom, he told me he texted the wrong person. He wanted to send it to ME but he accidentally went on Ashley. And he said he'd never date you because you're a whiner and a complete retard with a fake voice. He said I was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen in his life. And he intends on leaving it that way! So don't try to ruin my fairy tale got it?'' Ashley doesn't move… well… yes she does. She comes up to Vanessa and slaps her.

"That's for being a complete BIATCH! See ya two faced!'' And just like that she leaves, but then Vanessa's words kept on repeating themselves in Ashley's mind until Zac comes to her and says:

"ASHLEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCENE WILL YOU PLEASE COME BACK AND STOP MAKING A BIG FUSS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? VANESSA EXPLAINED THE TRUTH ! THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!'' Vanessa was eavesdropping and her smile was wider and wider. She was a great liar, and things were getting twisted because Zac was talking about something and Ashley thinks he's talking about something else. Vanessa went back to the set were Corbin was starring at her angrily.

"Well Zac guess what? I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU and you… you are a complete backstabber! Next thing you'll know you're throwing me out of your window!'' Ashley screams and throws her pink notebook at him.

"What the Hell? What are you talking about?'' But Ashley was too far to hear him.
