I don't really like this chapter... but it leads up to some stuff... so just read and let me know what u think...

It's been a week… Sharpay just finished doing press and arrived back at her hotel room. As she walked in she saw that Tiffany was awake and watching T.V.

"I'm back." Sharpay said closing the door behind her.

"Yea…" Tiffany answered in a low tone as Sharpay walked over and sat next to her.

"Tiffany we need to talk." Sharpay said seriously looking at her.

"About what?" Tiffany asked still looking at the T.V.

Sharpay took the remote and turned the T.V. off "We really need to talk about what's going on with you." She then said.

"Why?" Tiffany asked.

"You overdosed!" Sharpay answered looking at her "Why?"

"None of your concern." Tiffany answered.

"You been staying with me in this hotel all week… you have to tell me something!" Sharpay argued.

"What do you want me to say Shar?" Tiffany snapped.

"I'm just trying to help… I mean you are my friend." Sharpay answered.

"Friend?" Tiffany asked with a smirk "Sharpay when you left I didn't hear from you again." She then said.

"I know… I'm sorry… but after rehab I couldn't trust myself around people who lived the lifestyle I lived." Sharpay explained.

"Whatever." Tiffany said rolling her eyes.

"I have to go…" Sharpay said looking at the time "but I really wanna talk when I get back ok?" she then said.

"Fine." Tiffany answered watching Sharpay leave out the door. She noticed she left her purse behind. "Hey Shar!" she yelled looking at the purse, but Sharpay was too far away to hear her.

Meanwhile, Taylor and Chad were walking around Tiffany & Co. picking things for their wedding registry.

"Why is a vase 200 dollars?" Chad asked as Taylor scanned it.

"Because it's Tiffany & Co…" Taylor said moving to the next item.

"Who is gonna be able to afford all of this for our wedding. I honestly think we aren't going to get any gifts." Chad said still worried about the prices.

"It's going to be a Tiffany& Co. themed wedding… We have to have Tiffany gifts." Taylor explained.

"I didn't know of a Tiffany themed wedding." Chad said following her.

"I must have forgotten to tell you." Taylor said.

"That sounds like something I can't afford… How about we grab Gabi and Troy and go down to the local courthouse." Chad said sarcastically.

"Uh… How about not! Plus my parents are probably going to pay for everything don't worry about it." Taylor answered.

"That's just great…" he said sarcastically "Just curious… since clearly I don't know any details about the wedding… why am I even here now." Chad said.

"Gabriella's first day of class is today. I wanna do the registry early so people will know a head of time what to buy. The wedding is in September and its June… We don't have too much time to plan everything."

"So I have like no say in anything." Chad said with a smile.

"You helped… setting the date." Taylor joked "Sorry if I'm a bit of a Bridezilla but I have always just wanted my wedding day to be perfect… and no offence but I want it MY way." She explained.

"I really don't care how the wedding is just as long as we have a good time." Chad said.

"Thanks baby." Taylor said then gave Chad a quick peck on the lips.

"So who's the wedding party?" Chad asked.

"Well Troy and Gabi of course….Kelsi is flying in and she's going to walk with Ryan… and then there's Sharpay and Zeke." Taylor said.

"Zeke?" Chad questioned.

"I really started not to tell you." Taylor said marking the next item.

"Maybe you shouldn't have." Chad answered.

"Chad… "Taylor said.

"I don't want him at my wedding!" Chad argued.

"This is the problem. Every time his name comes up you freak out!" Taylor argued back.

"I wonder why… Taylor." Chad then said.

"Look… I love you… I am marrying you! Zeke is the past. I'm sorry if I ever hurt you… What else do you want me to say so we can move past this?" Taylor said.

"I just know the guy is still in love with you." Chad explained.

"And I love you not him." Taylor reassured him.

"I love you too." Chad answered as he pulled Taylor in for a hug.

"So we should probably finish marking this stuff so we can go pick up Mykayla." Taylor said with a smile while pulling Chad by the hand.

Gabriella on the other hand was sitting in a lab class waiting for her class to begin.

"Excuse me." A voice said next to her as she looked up "Is this seat taken?" A nice looking guy with a low hair cut asked.

"No. You can sit here." Gabriella said with a smile moving her purse out the seat.

"Thanks." The guy said as he sat down. "What did I miss?" he then asked.

"Oh um…basically nothing the teacher isn't here yet." Gabriella explained.

"Oh ok. What's your name?" the guy finally asked.

"Oh I'm Gabriella. And you?" Gabriella asked with a smile.

"Jeff." He answered.

"Very nice to meet you Jeff." Gabriella said.

"MCAT huh? How do you think you will do?" Jeff asked.

"Fail… horribly." Gabriella answered with a laugh.

"The first time I took it I got a 12." Jeff answered.

"Really?! That's like a top score!" Gabriella said with excitement.

"Yea I know." Jeff said with a smile.

"Then what are you even doing here?" Gabriella questioned.

"I'm teaching the class." Jeff said with a smile.

"Oh my god…." Gabriella said as Jeff got up to start talking to the class. She pulled out her notebook and pen to start paying attention.

Her boyfriend Troy was back in the Wildcat gym working on drills with Zeke.

"Why are you putting me through this I retired from basketball!" Zeke yelled out of breath.

"You are weak dude." Troy said walking towards the bench to sit down with Zeke.

"Albuquerque Thunderbirds don't get far enough to go through all of this torture." Zeke said sitting down.

"Whatever… the Thunderbirds have Troy Bolton now!" Troy said with a laugh.

"That's gonna make them win?" Zeke said sarcastically.

"Maybe… if not hopefully get traded to a better team later on." Troy explained.

"Yea right…" Zeke said.

"Look New Orleans got Chris Paul and the Hornets are known now." Troy explained.

"I know… I just kinda always saw you as a Laker. Or something… I can't believe you didn't get any other offers." Zeke explained

"I got offers from Orlando, Magic… and Miami Heat." Troy admitted.

"What?! I could kill you! Why didn't you do it?" Zeke asked loudly.

"Because… Gabriella is here… my home is here… Chad, Taylor, and you are here. If I go to either one of those teams I won't see any of you especially Gabriella." Troy said.

"I'm pretty sure me Chad and Taylor would understand. You could just ask Gabriella to go with you." Zeke said.

"Gabi… is trying to get into the med school of her choice. I cannot do that to her… she already sacrificed the college of her choice to go to UA with me. I don't want her to sacrifice med school." Troy explained.

"That's really stupid Bolton." Zeke said.

"How is that stupid? She's the person I'm wanna be with for the rest of my life." Troy explained.

"Whatever." Zeke answered as he laid back on the bleachers.

"Can we keep this between us?" Troy asked.

"Are you sure you don't wanna tell your bestest friend Chad?" Zeke then replied.

"Chad has enough going on. " Troy answered.

"I won't say anything… but you should really look at what you are giving up." Zeke said.

"I already made my decision." Troy answered then got up to do more drills on the court.
