Some Like It Hot

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot. Sigh.

Summary: Troy? Golden Boy of East High. Basketball Captain. Always gets what he wants. Gabriella? Head cheerleader. Very intelligent. Not to be crossed. Troy and Gabriella? Most notorious rivalry of East High School. Known to hate each other with a passion. Change? Coming soon, with a vengeance.

It was another average day at East High School. Well actually, it was the first day of school at East High.

Summer vacation had ended, and the students were slowly filing into their respective homerooms, greeting friends, and swapping stories.

Troy Bolton and best friend Chad Danforth walked into Mr. Brown's homeroom.

"So...what girls did you hook up with?" Chad asked, grinning at Troy expectantly.

"Surprisingly...none." Troy responded, sliding into his seat.

The door flew open, and a petite brunette strode into the room, with a group of girls in East High cheer leading uniforms right behind her.

She walked past Troy and Chad, gave them a dismissive glance, and sat down two seats over from Troy.

"Montez." Troy acknowledged her with a nod.

She glanced at him, and wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"Bolton...Danforth." She said, not looking at them, before glancing at the door again.

"Taylor!" She cried, leaping up from her seat to engulf the entering girl in a hug.

"Gabs!" She cried as well, hugging her tightly.

As Taylor walked over to the seat next to Gabriella, furthest from Chad, she glanced at them, and giggled loudly.

"Care to share what's so amusing McKessie?" Chad demanded.

"The only thing I share with you is air. Unfortunately." Taylor shot back, before turning to Gabriella excitedly.

"I met the cutest guy on Pawley's Island-" She started, but as cut off.

"OMG Troy Taylor met, like, the cutest guy, like, on Pawley's, like, Island, like OH EM GEE!" Chad squealed mockingly.

Taylor spun around in her seat. "What did you just say Danforth?" giving him a glare that some say is responsible for global warming.

"I believe you, like, heard me!" Chad said loudly, continuing his impression.

Gabriella stood up and walked over in front of Troy's desk.

"Look Bolton, either you get your friend to shut up, or I'll tell everyone about...well... I'm sure even you can figure it out from there." Gabriella hissed, locking eyes with Troy, who flushed a deep red.

"Montez, Montez, pull out your claws...He'll stop. And you wouldn't dare. You don't have the guts." Troy shot back icily, willing his face to return to it's normal shade.

"Nice McKessie. Get your bitch friend to stand up for you. Coward." Chad called across the row of desks.

Taylor stood up angrily.

"Just because I choose to not associate with people lower on the evolution scale than myself, that doesn't make me a coward!" She yelled, walking over and slapping him.

The room exploded as the slap rang through the room.

Everyone circled the four, holding their breath.

"Montez, put the choke collar back on McKessie. And maybe do us all a favor, and keep your mouth shut about other people's business...bitch." Troy said in a soft icy voice, hissing the last word.

"Bolton, We'll stop when you and Danforth here learn to keep your mouths shut. Oh wait...that's a never." Gabriella murmured, reaching out as though to caress his face, but instead slapping him.

Troy caught her wrist. "What had we decided about you touching me Montez." Troy asked calmly, twisting her wrist.

"Let me go you son of a-" Gabriella hissed in pain.

"Language Montez, language!" Chad put in gleefully.

"Danforth, go to hell." Taylor whispered, glaring at Troy.

"Let her go Troy." Two new voices entered the fight.

Sharpay and Ryan Evans walked into the room suddenly.

"Why?" Troy asked, glaring at them.

"Because I said to LET HER GO." Sharpay stated calmly.

Troy locked eyes with her, realizing she was serious, and finally released Gabriella's wrist.

She walked away, grabbed her books, and as the bell rang, she walked out.

Turning on her heel to stare at Troy, she whispered icily, "Bastard."

The classroom was still silent as Troy, Chad, and Taylor walked out of the room.

After they left, the room exploded into whispers.

Well that's chapter one. Sorry if the language offended anyone. Please review, I really like this story, but I'm only going to keep writing if I feel that others like it as well. Sharpay and Troy have some history to be revealed, as do Gabriella and Troy, and Chad and Taylor. All will be revealed in due time...if you guys review and I keep writing. Oh, and Gabriella is also on the Step Team. I'm not quite sure if she's captain or not...but you guys can vote if you'd like.
