Troy Bolton's Parties were known for being the best party of the year. Where people would hook up for the night and not care about it. People would let go and be wild, do crazy stuff all because it was Troy Bolton's party.
It was 10 at night and the party was in full swing. The Evans mansion walls were pumping with the beat of the music. The drink was flowing and drunken teenagers filled the mansion. In the kitchen cheerleaders were laying on the worktops while the jocks were doing body shots of them. The stairs and hallways were lined with random couples hooking up and making out. Skaters were hooking up with Drama geeks and science geeks were hooking up with Goths. The living room was filled with people on the dance floor grinding against each other to the beat of the music; the gang were in the middle of the dance floor.
"We are going to get some drinks" Chad told the girls as the guys made their way to the drinks table Kelsi slipped away from the girls and followed the guys.
"Oh my God, this so much fun. We haven't been to a party in ages" Gabriella yelled to Sharpay
"I know, we have been missing out, good to be back where we belong shaking our booty on the dance floor" Sharpay yelled back
"So Gabs, you said anything to Ryan yet?" Taylor questioned
"No, I don't know what I'm supposed to say. I'm nervous"
"Babe, don't be he is so in to you. Go find him and talk to him ask him to dance"
"I don't know"
"Just go" Sharpay yelled as she pushed Gabriella towards the crowd of people.

Kelsi watched as the girls were talking in the middle of the dance floor she made her way to the drinks table and poured a drink of punch. She then walked off to the bathroom. Once inside she locked the door to make sure nobody would get in. She pulled out a packet from her handbag and poured some powder in to the drink. She swirled the cup so the powder dissolved and was not noticeable. She made her way back to the living room where she saw Gabriella making her way through the crowd she stepped towards her
"Hey Gabriella"
"Err Hey Kelsi, you ok?"
"Yeah, I got you a drink" She handed the drink to Gabriella who took it not realising that it was drugged.
"Oh Thanks Kelsi" Gabriella smiled towards the girl maybe she's decided to be nice to me now, oh well people change "Do you know where Ryan is?"
"I think I saw him going outside"
"Ok thanks Kelsi" Gabriella ran off towards the patio doors and saw Ryan sitting on the edge of the fountain. She nervously made her towards him. Ryan looked up as he heard footsteps a small smile crept across his face when he saw Gabriella. She lifted her head and the 2 set of eyes connected
"Hey Gabs, what you doing out here?"
"Hi Ry, just needed some fresh air and I was looking for you"
"Why were you looking for me?"
"Just wanted to talk, I haven't seen you in ages, well not properly"
"Well you found me, come on sit down" Ryan patted to the space next to him on the edge of the fountain. Gabriella sat down and took and drank some of her drink. She was nervous and she desperately needed the alcohol to give her some confidence. She felt a huge rush to her head but shock it of thinking it was due to the speed of drinking the alcohol.
"So you enjoying the party" Gabriella asked
"Yeah it's good"
"Yeah it's amazing I must say I think it is one of Troy's best so far. Why were you out here and not inside with us? Your normally king of the dance floor, it's not the same without you there" She laughed
"I was just thinking about a few things"
"Anything I can help with?" She offered
"Err, not really just stuff I got to figure out for myself, you know"
"I know exactly what you mean, but if you ever need anyone I'm always here"
"Thanks Gabs that means a lot...You look beautiful tonight by the way" Gabriella blushed
"Thanks Ryan. Your looking really handsome tonight yourself. That style suits you."
"Thanks Gabs" The 2 sat in a comfortable silence stealing glances at each other. Both wanting to tell the other how felt. Neither knew what to say or what the other would say in return. Gabriella glanced up towards the backdoor and saw Sharpay and Taylor standing on the patio. They gave Gabriella thumbs up she subtly shock her head towards the pair. 'Do it' Sharpay mouthed 'No' Gabriella. During the exchange Ryan had glanced over to where Gabriella was looking.
"What does Sharpay want you to do? "
"Nothing don't worry about it"
"It didn't seem like nothing and I know my sister. Whatever she wants you to do she really wants you to do it. I'd advise you to do it otherwise she will be on your back about it for ages." He laughed
"Trust me she has been on at my back about if for ages and its really starting to annoy me"
"Well that's Sharpay always persistent. If she's annoying you about it why don't you just do it?"
"Because I'm scared"
"It can't be that bad Gabs anyway there's not point in being scared. If you go through life being scared you will never do anything sometimes we just need to brave and face what we fear."
"Yeah I guess but it's not easy. How are you supposed to tell someone how you feel about them and you like them more than a friend and you think you might love them" Gabriella's hand flew up to cover her mouth in shock "Oh my god I didn't mean to say that just ignore that pretend I never said that"
"Gabriella, who do you like?" Ryan asked. Gabriella looked over towards Sharpay and Taylor and then looked straight into his eyes. She knew it was now or never, she had to tell him how she felt.
"You...I really like you Ryan I have for ages. You make me feel so special. When I'm with you I get butterflies and when I see you I can't help but smile," her eyes starting clouding over with tears "and I know that you probably don't feel the same way as me and now you're going to think I'm weird and won't want to be friends with me and I've ruined everything." Ryan leant his hand over and caressed Gabriella's cheek he leant forward and captured her lips with his. The kiss was a short sweet peck that was filled with so much passion and feelings that the 2 had built up for the other and were holding inside. Ryan pulled back and looked her in the eye.
"Your right I don't want to friends with you, I want to be so much more. I feel the same about you Gabs you mean so much to me those feelings you get I get them too."
"You do"
"Yeah I never actually thought you would feel them back for me." Ryan reached over and took Gabriella's hands in his. Gabriella looked down at their hands with a huge smile
"Gabriella, will you be my girlfriend?" Gabriella nodded her head as she leant forward to reconnect their lips in a much more passionate embrace. The 2 broke apart as they heard sequels coming from across the garden. Sharpay and Taylor were running towards them squealing so loud that people were starting to stare. Ryan and Gabriella looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at the 2 girls making their way towards them. Sharpay and Taylor immediately engulfed the other 2 into and group
"At last you 2, do you know how long we have been waiting for you to get together"
"Yeah can't believe you finally had the guts to do it. Well I guess we should say congratulations"
"Yeah congrats guys, you make such a cute couple. Come on we have to get inside and tell the others."
Sharpay and Taylor ran back towards the house to find the rest of the group to let them know the good news. Ryan took Gabriella's hand and laced their fingers together
"We better go otherwise they will only come looking for us" Gabriella nodded her head as she giggled. She leant forward and pecked him on the cheek and dragged him across the garden back towards the house.
Across the garden behind some trees Kelsi had seen the whole exchange happen. She had followed Gabriella out to the garden to see what she wanted Ryan for and to make sure she drank the drink. She had a smug look on her face as when she saw Gabriella gulp down the drink knowing her plan was working. The smug look was soon wiped off her face as she saw the kiss between the two and then the squeals of Taylor and Sharpay. I can't believe what I am seeing. Is it not good enough for Gabriella that she has Sharpay as her best friend but now she has Ryan as well I can't believe that Gabriella would be so devious that she would go after Ryan just so she could get closer to Sharpay. I can't believe that I am the only person that can see Gabriella for who she really is everybody thinks she is a sweet innocent person but I know better but by the end of the night I won't have to worry about her any more Gabriella Montez will be out of the picture a smirk made its way across Kelsi's face as she walked out from behind the trees and made her way back to the mansion to join the party.
"Hey Kelsi there you are"
"Hey Shar, you ok?"
"Yeah I have some great news. Gabi and Ryan finally got together can you believe it" A false smile made its way across Kelsi's face
"Yeah that's awesome well I guess I better go congratulate them then"
"Ok I got to find Troy, see ya" Sharpay waved over her shoulder as she ran towards the dance floor where she Troy was she ran into his arms kissing him passionately before the 2 starting dancing to the beat of the booming music. Kelsi's eyes couldn't help but to follow Sharpay as she ran towards troy and her heart couldn't help but become jealous at the loving interaction between the 2 wishing it was her that Sharpay was running to. Kelsi sighed she looked across the dance floor when her eyes landed on Gabriella and Ryan dancing together and laughing she remembered that she had to congratulate them and she knew exactly how she was going to do it.
Kelsi made her way to the drinks table and poured a cup of punch that was filled with a mixture of different alcohol and was really strong she then slipped the packet out of her bag and poured some in the cup swirling it to dissolve the powder. She walked towards the kitchen a smile on her face that grew wider when she saw Jason perfect she thought
"Hey Jase"
"Hey Kelsi," Jason blushed "How are you?"
"I'm good thanks, could you do me a favour and give this to Gabriella she's going to need a drink the amount of dancing she is doing"
"Yeah sure, you're so thoughtful" Jason grabbed the cup and headed off towards Gabriella you have no idea Kelsi watched as Gabriella drank the drink not suspecting a thing. She knew the plan was working and not much longer it would all be over. She continued towards the kitchen where she grabbed 2 shot glasses and put them in her bag and headed towards the bathroom.
Kelsi shut the door behind her and locked it. Out of her bag she pulled the shot glasses, a bottle of vodka and the remainder of the powder. She carefully filled the shot glasses and poured the rest of the powder into one of the glasses. She grabbed the bottle finishing off the vodka. Checking she had everything she left the bathroom and made her way towards 'the happy couple'
The dance floor was packed as Kelsi fought her way through the crowd of sweaty grinding teenagers towards Ryan and Gabriella as she reached them she plastered a fake smile on her face
"Hey guys, I heard the good news so I got you these as a way of saying congratulations" She handed the 2 shots to the couple and watched them down them in one. "You 2 make a good couple"
"Thanks Kelsi, that's really sweet of you" Gabriella replied swaying a bit in Ryan's arms. Kelsi took the glasses back from them with a grin on her face as she saw Gabriella sway Not long now I say half hour tops and it will all be over "well I will leave you to it catch you later" Kelsi made her way back through the crowd and into the corner of the room where she would be able to watch the final parts of the plan unravel and admire her work.

Gabriella P.O.V
My head was spinning and I could feel my body swaying. I knew it wasn't good I must have had too much alcohol to drink. I don't mind though nothing can stop me being happy right now I'm finally with the guy I have loved for ages and he loves me back what could possibly go wrong.
We had been dancing for about 20 minutes with the rest of the gang and I could slowly feel myself getting worse. My head was now pounding and the room was spinning. My vision kept on going blurry and I could feel myself struggling for breath. I stumbled forward towards Ryan who looked at me with a concerned look on his face
"Gabs are you ok, you don't look to good"
"Yeah Gabi your really pale" Sharpay touched my arm "and your burning up"
"I need some fresh air can we go out back for a bit" The others agreed so me Ryan, Sharpay. Troy, Taylor and Chad made our way out back. As I walked my legs felt heavy and my body felt like it was slowly becoming numb. As we reached outside the cold air hit my face. I felt a burning sensation make its way up my body and I knew then I was going to be sick. I ran over towards the trees and threw up.
I heard Ryan shout he was going to get me some water as Sharpay came up to me and started rubbing my back and calming me down. When I felt ok I got up and leant up against the wall. I looked around me and couldn't see properly my vision was blurring worse and I started to panic.
"I can't see properly what's going on"
"Its ok Gabs you've just been sick it's your body's reaction"
"Ok, I think I'm ok now let's go back inside" I was gasping for breath trying to gasp any oxygen available. I didn't want to ruin the night so I tried to ignore it as we were walking back towards the house I started to feel dizzy I felt my body become numb and heavy and my head light and dizzy. I took a final breath and everything went black the last thing I heard before everything went silent was Sharpay scream my name
NO P.O.V
"GABI" Sharpay screamed whilst tears immediately fell from her eyes.
