Authors Note: Hey guys! Thanks for reading my story. I'm trying to update as soon as possible because I have a lot of ideas for the story. I know that High School Musical was set in New Mexico, but I chose for my story to be set in California. All the characters are the same, but it is in California now. Oh and Sharpay is nice in this story if you haven't figured that out yet. Anyway…I'll get to the story! Haha!

The New Girl Chapter Two

"Shar! Wake up!"

Sharpay groaned and rolled onto her stomach.

"Sharpay!"

She pulled her pillow over her head to try to drown out the loud yelling. But just then, her door burst open.

"Yo, get up!" Ryan shook her.

Sharpay bolted up. "Okay, okay! I'm up already."

Ryan faintly smiled and walked out of her room.

Today was their first day of school in the new state. Even though she didn't like the learning part of school, she was partially excited to see all the people. Sharpay hopped out of bed and took her daily shower. She blow dried her hair and let it take its natural wave. A cute outfit, a little make-up, and she was set. Shar stepped out of her room, but not before grabbing her iphone of course.

"Hey, you about ready?" Ryan walked up to her.

"Yup. You?"

"Yeah, let's go." He fled downstairs. Sharpay caught a glimpse of what he was wearing. A dark blue and white-striped polo with jeans. Even though it was a simple outfit, it still looked great. As you can tell, the Evan's are a very attractive and stylish family. But they weren't the only ones…

Troy woke up to an annoying and constant beep.

"Ugh…" He tried to find the snooze button.

The beeping suddenly stopped.

"Finally." Troy closed his eyes to fall back asleep.

"Troy!"

Troy's eyes shot open.

"Troy? Are you up?" A deep voice called.

Troy hustled out of bed and towards the bathroom. "Yeah dad, I'm up!"

"Okay, hurry up, so you have time to do your laps before school." His dad shouted.

Troy sighed and slowly dragged himself out of bed. It was the same routine every morning. Wake up at 6, do 15 laps around the school track, take a 5 minute shower, get ready for school. Pretty intense stuff.

Troy's dad had always dreamed of being a professional basketball player when he was in high school. But unfortunely, he had torn his ACL and had to stay out of sports for a while. So, of course, when he figured out that Troy was interested in playing basketball, he jumped at the opportunity. And now as a junior in high school, captain of the varsity basketball team, he is running 15 laps every morning.

Troy grabbed his school books and an extra pair of clothes and headed toward East High. He has been going to the East District since Kindergarten. A lot of his friends had too. Such as his best friend, Chad, who was also the co-captain of the basketball team. So had the rest of Troy's friends, which was practically the whole student body. I guess you could say he was popular. Actually, you could probably say he was the most popular guy in school. But being the most popular guy in school comes with its advantages and disadvantages. An advantage was you got to cut in the lunch line. But you also had to realize that everyone was watching your every move. One mistake and everybody noticed. But their always was the girls. Yes…the girls. Troy did have a way with the ladies. I mean, who wouldn't want to date the hottest and most talented guy in school? But most of his relationships ended quickly because they would be too clingy or just date him for the wrong reasons. He wanted to find a girl that liked for the inside, not just the outside.

Troy pulled up to the school and hoped out of his car. He shook his shaggy brown hair out of his eyes and headed toward the track.

"Troy! Hey! What are you doing here so early?" A dark-haired girl skipped up to him.

"Uh…hey Brittany." He paused. "I'm just doing a few laps." He acted uninterested.

Brittany was his latest ex-girlfriend and he didn't want to give her the wrong idea.

"Oh, wow you are so dedicated." Brittany put on a flirty smile.

"Yeah, thanks. I got to go." Troy faked a smile and walked off.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later then." She giggled and ran off in the other direction.

'Whew! That was close!' Troy wiped his brow.

This was going to be a long day…

"So this is East High?" Sharpay looked up at the big school in front of her.

"Yup." Ryan stood next to her. "Let's go." He started walking.

Sharpay hesitantly followed and stepped through the front doors. She checked around the halls to see normal teenagers having normal conversations. No one looked at her like she had eight heads either. Her gaze scanned each detail of the school when she stopped at something. Was that the boy who had been jogging earlier? It looked like his hair.

"…for my first class." Ryan was talking to Sharpay. "Shar? Shar!" He snapped his fingers in front of her face.

Sharpay snapped out of her thoughts. "What? Oh sorry."

"It's alright. I was just saying that I have Calculus for my first class. What do you have?"

"Oh, umm…I have…"She looked down at her schedule. "English."

"Okay. I'm going to go to my locker. Will you be alright?"

"Uh, yeah. I'll be fine." She hoped as Ryan walked off. 'Hope I make it through the day.' She thought.

Troy put in the familiar combination into his locker. He grabbed a few books and took a deep sigh.

"Dude? You okay?" Chad came up behind him.

Troy turned around quickly. "Me? Yeah, I'm good."

"Alright." Chad leaned against the lockers. "So how are you and that Brittany girl?"

"Me and Brittany? Oh right, we broke up." Troy explained calmly.

"Once again, Troy can't manage to keep a girlfriend for more than a couple weeks." Chad cracked a smile.

"Ha-ha very funny."

"You know it's true." Chad gazed around the school.

"Whatever." Troy rolled his eyes.

"Whoa." Chad exclaimed.

"What?"

"Look at her." Troy's eyes followed toward where Chad was looking. He immediately noticed the blond girl that stood about 15 feet away. 'Whoa' was right.

"Who is that?" Troy questioned.
"I don't know. But I have to find out." Chad started making his way toward the blond beauty.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up." Troy ran in front of him.

"What?"

"I'm coming with you." He decided.

"Fine, but don't mess things up."

"I wouldn't worry about me." Troy smirked.

They both made their way over to the girl, who was now, standing by her locker. She looked like she was having some trouble opening it.

"Hey, having some trouble?" Troy slid behind her.

Sharpay looked to see who was talking. It was the basketball boy! And wow, was he even cuter close up!

"Uh…yeah. I can't seem to get it open." Sharpay stared at his deep blue eyes.

"That's alright. There lockers are always getting jammed. It was hard for me at first, but it gets easier." Troy smoothly moved in front of her and easily opened the locker.

"Looks like you're a pro." Sharpay giggled.

Troy smiled and looked down at her. She was really gorgeous.

"I'm Troy." He offered his hand.

"Sharpay." She returned by shaking his hand.

Chad casually cleared his throat.

"Oh, and this is Chad." Troy added, almost forgetting.

"Hey." Chad grinned.

"Nice to meet you guys." Sharpay smiled. Her eyes locked with Troy's and she immediately had butterflies take over her stomach. Okay, so she officially decided that California was not that bad.
