---Hazel's room---

Hazel stared out of her bedroom window; she could see a person opposite her standing next to the window looking up at the sky.

Patches curled up next to Hazel on her bed. "Hey boo… he's sweet isn't he?" Patches meowed once. "And he's so cute; he's a nice guy isn't he?" Patches meowed again.

"What should I wear tomorrow, I mean he'll be picking me up and I want to look great,"

Hazel paused shocked by her sudden want to look perfect for Kyle, "I know it's not a date but, but, but… you know I just wanna look good…" Hazel knew that she was just lying to herself but she didn't want to admit even to herself the way she felt about Kyle.

She chose black caprice and a dull orange shirt, after trying around half of her clothes.

---The next day---

The bell rang. Hazel's mom answered the door, "Yes? How may I help you young man?"

"Good morning Mrs. Anderson, umm is Hazel there?"

"And who might you be?"

"Umm I'm Kyle…"

"Let me check Kyle, Hazel darling, there's a young man named Kyle here for you."

"Coming mom!" Hazel said as she came running down, "hey Kyle, hey mom, hey dad! Umm gotta go early today, talk to you later ma!" Hazel said as she held Kyle's hand and sped out the door.

"Hazel!! At least take something to eat!" Her mom scram out behind her.

"Yeah mom I have a cookie in my bag!"

"Get in the car, hurry!"

"Why are we in such a hurry?" Kyle said looking completely confused.

"Kyle I'm saving you from my mom! If you stayed there for one more minute she would question you about everything, I mean everything!"

"Thanks?" Still confused…

"Cookie? It's chocolate chip!" Hazel said as she broke the cookie into half.

"Umm nah it's okay, you have it!"

"Too bad I already broke you a piece!"

"Thanks?"

"Your welcome!"

There was silence as the 2 munched away on their cookie halves.

"Hmm…" that's all Kyle could think off, "So I was wondering…"

"Schools here! Thanks for dropping me!"

"My pleasure."

"You were saying something before I said school was here…" Hazel asked with a smile.

"Yeah, umm, about that, need a ride back home?"

"Umm I'll tell you in lunch"

"Ok"

"Thanks again"

Hazel got out of the car, brushing off the crumbs from her orange shirt.

Hazel walked to her locker. "Hazel!" Gabriella said as she walked to Hazel.

"Gabi! Omg I have to tell you something, but don't tell anyone!! Not a single soul!"

"Promise I wont! So tell me!"

"Okay see yesterday I was stuck in school cause my mom couldn't pick me up, and then Kyle was there too!"

"And?"

"Well, you see he dropped me home and turns out he lives opposite my house!"

"You like him, admit it!!"

"No…" Hazel paused while Gabriella gave her a yah-right look, "at least I don't think so…"

"Oh please you do"

"There's more! Stuff happened after he dropped me, and also today morning"

"Omg you both kissed, he asked you out?"

"No!!!"

"Oh, then what happened?"

Hazel told Gabriella everything.

"Ooo! I'm seeing hearts! You love him he loves you! What's the problem?"

"I don't know…"

The bell rang and everyone left for homeroom.

"Hazel… how are you?"

"Oh, hey Sharpay! I'm fine how are you?"

"Oh I'm fab, so Hazel have any other talent than physics and fashion?"

"Sorry?"

"Good at acting, dancing or singing?"

"I've never tried dancing, singing or acting so I wouldn't know,"

"I see, so tell me Hazel do you like East High?"

"I really like it"

"How about you hang around with me today instead of them," Sharpay said pointing at Taylor and Gabriella

Hazel was a little confused wondering why Sharpay looked so angry when she pointed at Gabriella and Taylor. "Umm I guess?"

The bell rang before Taylor could talk to Hazel, Hazel, Ryan and Sharpay had left the room.

"I guess that's bye to Hazel, she's going to be the new Sharpay." Taylor told Gabriella.

"Nah, I know Hazel, she's nothing like that." Gabriella responded.

"What you 2 talking about?" Chad interrupted.

"Hazel's going to be the new Sharpay…."

"And to think I thought she was nice…" Chad replied

"Oh c'mon you guys, Hazel's nice…" Gabriella said.

"You don't even know her that well…" Taylor replied.

"Well, as a matter of fact I do, she tells me everything! She's a good friend!"

"And yet she's hanging out with Sharpay? The person you hate the most… Hazel a good friend I think not…" Taylor replied.

"I don't know why she's hanging out with Sharpay, but you'll see she'll get tired of Sharpay and she'll be back talking and hanging out with us…"

The day went by and in all the classes Hazel sat next to Sharpay and they had a good time you could see that, the 2 kept on laughing and talking, Sharpay seemed to be almost human, laughing talking with Hazel.

Gabriella, Taylor, Chad, Troy and Kyle a bit surprised by the fact that Sharpay was acting so 'human' and that Hazel was enjoying her company.

---Lunch---

"So Gabi, Hazel still a good friend?" Chad asked.

"I don't know why she has barely talked to me since this morning." Gabriella replied.

"Why don't you ask her what's happened to her…" Taylor replied.

Kyle looked the least bothered, he didn't care.

Hazel walked over to the table where all of them were sitting.

"Hey guys! Why don't you come hang out with Sharpay, Ryan and me?" Hazel asked who had no idea about why they all weren't friendly with Sharpay.

Troy and Chad laughed. Hazel gave a confused look.

"Oh you really don't know why we're laughing do you?" Troy asked her.

"Uh, not exactly… don't you people like Sharpay and Ryan?"

"Ryan's okay but Sharpay… no way!" Taylor replied.

"But Sharpay is so sweet and a lot of fun to be with!" Hazel replied still confused.

All of them gave a Hazel a 'yah-right' look.

"What she is"

"Yeah sure and I can get an 'A' in physics" Chad replied.

"You guys don't think so do you?"

Sharpay walked over to Hazel, "Hazel, let's go I have to show you something, oh and sweetie if you want I'll drop you home instead of one of them." She paused and looked at all of them who looked a little shocked, "Anyway if I do drop you we can go to my place first and we could have some fun there, I could give you a manicure!" Sharpay said in an excited voice. "What are you people looking at?" Sharpay turned around and snapped at all of them. She turned back to Hazel, and held her hand and dragged her as she walked away.

"Was that Sharpay, I mean was that really her?" Troy broke the silence.

"I think so?" Taylor replied still surprised.

"Wow?" Gabriella couldn't find any words to say.

"Ice queen can be nice…?" Chad asked.

"So? Who cares? Hot blonde girl likes geeky girl big wow!" Kyle replied not the least bit bothered.

Ryan walked over, "Isn't Hazel like the sweetest person you've ever met?"

"Sharpay likes her?" Gabriella asked

"Yeah she does! They both have so much fun together."

"Ryan!" Sharpay scram out

"Talk to you guys later, ciao!" Ryan said as he walked to Sharpay and Hazel.

I know it was a long chapter, hope u like it! Please review!

---Next time---

"But they are my friends, especially Gabi!" Hazel told Sharpay

"I see…" Sharpay softly whispered.


"As, much as I hate to say this, you are invited to the surprise birthday party at my house for …."
