Shane's first week at East High went by quickly and before anybody knew it, it was Friday. Over the course of the week Shane and Troy grew closer driving Gabriella insane. Troy would walk Shane to every class, sit with her at lunch, they would always come and leave school together and they were always talking and laughing.

"Alright I'll see you guys tonight," Troy said as he walked out of school with Shane.

"Bye guys," Shane said. The boys smiled and the girls glared. She didn't know what she was doing wrong. All week long she was nice to them and tried talking to them but they all seemed to be giving her the cold shoulder.

"You ok?" Troy asked when they got into the car.

"Yeah."

"No you're not, tell me what's wrong."

"It's the girls. I'm being nice to them but they all still seem to hate me. If this is how it's going to be all year I'm not sure I want to come here."

"They'll lighten up, I promise." He gave her a reassuring smile and started the car.

Shane had fixed Troy's party dilemma by having it at her house so when they got home they got to decorating.

"I hate that girl! You know she let Troy have his party at her house? I swear all she wants to do is show off!"

Gabriella yelled.

"She's totally trying to take away all our boyfriends," Taylor said.

"I want my Jason to keep his eyes on me but all he does is stare at her all day," Kelsi said.

"We need to bring that girl down. We need to find her flaw and show everybody that she's not perfect," Sharpay said before an evil smile spread across her face. "I have an idea."

Troy and Shane were well into decorating when the doorbell rang.

"I'm going to get that, you sure you don't need me to hold the ladder?" Shane asked.

"I'll be fine." She walked into the foyer and opened the door.

"Gabbi, hey," she said nicely.

"Hi."

"So what are you doing here?"

"Oh well I thought I could help you guys set up."

"That'd be great, come in." she walked into the beautiful house.

'This place is so nice…bitch,' she said to herself.

"Whoa!" they heard Troy yell, followed by a loud crash.

They ran into the living room and Troy was on the floor covered in streamers and confetti.

"What happened?" Shane and Gabriella asked.

"I lost my footing and fell off the ladder.

"Well are you all right?"

"Yeah." he stood up. "I'm fine."

"You cut yourself," Shane said.

"Oh, will you look at that."

"Come into the kitchen and I'll clean it up."

Gabriella found this to be the perfect opportunity to go through with her plan.

"Hey Shane where's your room? I want to put my purse up there."

"Upstairs, last door on your left."

"Ok thanks."

She walked upstairs and up to Shane's room. She closed the door behind her and started going through Shane's stuff.

"Come on there has to be something around here somewhere," she said. She looked through all her desk drawers then under her bed. She was going through her closet when she found a box up in the back corner. She brought it down and opened it up.

"Jackpot." She put some of the contents in her bag and put the box back.

Shane helped Troy into the kitchen and he climbed up on the counter.

She got a first aid kit and rolled up his jeans. When she put the alcohol on his leg he squealed.

"Pansy, sit still."

"But it burns."

"Suck it up." She cleaned up the cut then put some healing ointment on it and a bandage.

"Thanks doc, do I get a lollipop?"

"Sorry, fresh out."

"How about a kiss?"

"Awe…I'm out of those too." she gave him a pat on the shoulder and put the kit away.

They heard footsteps coming down the stairs and walked into the living room.

"Sorry but I have to go, I'll see you guys later, bye."

Before Troy and Shane could say anything she was out the door.

"Ok?" Shane said before the continued decorating.

As Gabriella walked out to her Jetta Chad pulled up.

"Hey Gabbi."

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Just coming by to help."

"Well he's in there with Shane."

"See you later." He quickly walked into the house.

She got into her car and picked up her cell phone, sending a text message to Kelsi, Sharpay and Taylor.

Meet me at my house in ten minutes; I got something.

"Hey guys," Chad said.

"What's up Chad?" Troy said.

Shane looked around.

"Something up Shane?"

"Just making sure your girlfriend isn't going to pop out anywhere and kill me for talking to you."

He smiled and hugged her.

"Don't worry, no Taylor. What happened to your leg Troy?"

"He fell off the ladder," Shane said.

"Thanks, I was going to feed him a super cool story."

"Oh, my bad. Anyways Chad you can take the streamers job while Troy decorates the Christmas tree."

"You sure you're parents don't want to do this with you?"

"Positive, they're too busy."

"What do your parents do anyways?"

"They own the Cechi hotel chain." (Made it up)

"Cool."

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" Chad asked.

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Yes really Chad."

"Well you know Troy doesn't have a girlfriend."

"I've learned that much since I've met him."

She and Troy exchanged smiles and they continued decorating.

"Ok what do you have?" Sharpay asked Gabriella once Kelsi and Taylor got to her house.

"Check this out."

She took out the box and poured the contents on the bed. There were expulsion papers and a bunch of detention slips. There were pictures of the Shane and her friends doing drugs and drinking and smoking.

"This girl is a freaking delinquent."

"Wait until everyone at east high finds out perfect Shane isn't so perfect."

"I say we pass all the stuff around at the party. But we have to wait until everyone is there."

"Great idea Gabriella."

After devising their plan they left to get ready for the party.

"Well I think this place looks pretty amazing," Troy said when they finished decorating Shane's house.

"I conquer."

"So I'm going to take a quick shower and I'll be back here soon."

"Ok, not a problem."

Shane smiled and Troy walked downstairs.

One hour later

Troy walked up the steps of Shane's house and knocked on the door. Elisa the house maid opened the door.

"Hey Troy, come on in. Shane is upstairs."

"Thanks Elisa."

Troy headed up and knocked on Shane's door.

"Come in," she said from the other side.

She smiled at Troy when he walked in and he sat on her bed.

"So are you ready for the flyest party you have ever been to?" Troy asked Shane.

She laughed and sat down next to him.

"Promise me you will never say that again."

"It was pretty dumb huh?"

She widened her eyes in agreement and got up to look at herself in the mirror. Troy stood next to her.

"You look great," he said.

"Thanks, so do you."

He put his hand on her shoulder and spun her around.

"You are beautiful."

"So are you. I mean…"

"Don't worry, I got you," he said before kissing her.

"I've wanted that to happen since the first time I saw you," she said happily.

"That's something we have in common."

He kissed her again and then they headed downstairs.
