A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I just got two new puppies, and their so cute, but a hand full at the same time. Anyways here's the next chapter.

When Sharpay got home from the studio it was just probably 10:00 at night. She texted Ryan back and told him that she was coming. She didn't tell him about Luke though, she wanted to, but she felt that if she told the whole group at the same time, she wouldn't have to explain herself twice. She found herself yawning, she didn't normally come home this late from the studio, but her and Luke stayed and started to plan stuff out. She had a long day tomorrow, so she figured she would go to bed and be refreshed by tomorrow. She walked into her bedroom and changed into some pajama shorts and a pink tank top. She removed her make-up and brushed her teeth, she climbed into bed and set her alarm clock to 10:00 AM.. When she finally hit her pillow, she instantly crashed out.

Before she knew it the alarm clock was going off. She groaned as she hit the snooze button and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom and turned the faucet and let the hot water hit the shower floor. She took her clothes off and climbed in. The hot water was hitting her back and massaging through her hair. She smiled as the water began to wake her up.

When she was finally done, she got out and dryed herself off, as she wrapped a pink towel around her and walked into her closet. She wanted to wear something flirty today, not to show off in front of Troy, just cause she felt like it. She went through her closet and found some Abercrombie shorts that were faded with some holes in them. She then started to look for a shirt to wear with it. She searched through her dresser doors, till she found a blue and gray plaid tank top, that had white lace in the v-neck, that came across and tied in the front. It instantly changed into the Shorts and the tank top. She took a look at herself in the mirror and smiled. Of course it wasn't that flirty, but she didn't want to be the slutty one in the group. For goodness sakes, they were just going out to eat. Now if they were going clubbing...well lets just say that would be a whole new story. The only thing left was her hair, she didn't know what to do with it. She tried so many things, up, down, to the side, and out of the face. She huffed in frustration, she just put in it in a pony tail and had the top puff up. (A/N: Like how she had it in the Young Hollywood Awards.) She slipped on some dark blue flip-flops and grabbed her purse, while taking out her keys. She headed outside and made sure to lock her doors. When she finally made it to her car, she got in and took one deep breath.

"This is gonna be a long day" she mumbled. She started the car and started to back up and drive to the restaurant, they were all meeting at. She listened to music and everything else to keep her mind off of the plan. She started to really get into the music, after a while. Before she knew it, time flew by and she was instantly at the restaurant. She started to look for a parking space and finally found one. She just prayed that Troy wasn't there yet. She had to still tell the group her plan. She wasn't sure how she was going to do it though.

When she parked, she got out and locked the car. She looked around for Troy's car and noticed that it wasn't there.

"Thank god!" She exclaimed. She walked inside and saw the gang at the table talking. She smiled as she made herself over there. She kept thinking of how she was going to tell them. She didn't want them to think she was desperate. Well in other people's point of views she may seem like it, but to hers, all she wants is for Troy to finally see how it feels to be all lovely dovey in front of your Ex.

She finally reached the table and saw that the gang had stopped talking.

Ryan jumped up and hugged her. "hey Shar!"

"Hey Ry" She smiled. She took a seat and took a deep breath. "well here goes nothing " She mumbled. "Look I'm going to get right to the point, I'm having a pretend boyfriend come here with us. He's my producer, so be nice! Yes its to get back at Troy...who else would it be for! No I'm not desperate, so Chad you can save that dumb look on your face and yes I would really be happy if you didn't tease me about this." She said. Of course she did it in the old ice queen way. Whenever she had to say something, she didn't wait around. Some how she always knew what the others where going to say, it was pretty weird, yet, she felt the need to name and answer their questions, right along with her point. Saved them time from asking and her time from answering.

The gang just stared at her for a while, till Taylor spoke up.

"Not to be mean, but really? A pretend boyfriend...are you paying him?" She questioned.

"No, he's just a really nice guy and took my offer." Sharpay said.

Taylor nodded "okay...that's just weird, but fine. We won't tease you about it...but who knows, maybe you guys will have something going on by the end of the day."

Sharpay gave her a glare "He's my producer, I'm not gonna have him be my pretend boyfriend and end up screwing him by the end of the night."

"Hey, who said you were planning on doing that?" Chad questioned. "Unless that's what you planned on doing. Getting him drunk, sneaking him back to your place, and BAM! The next morning you two are in bed next to each other." He said as he smirked

Sharpay tried to reach across the table to hit him, but Taylor already beat her to it.

"Get your mind out of the gutter!" Taylor spat.

Finally Kelsi spoke "I think its an experience Sharpay should take. Who knows what a pretend boyfriend could do to Troy. Maybe he'll finally realize how Gabby just isn't right for him."

Sharpay smiled "See, that's why I love her, she always knows what to say. Unlike you guys!"

Ryan shook his head "As long as your not going to get hurt by this whole thing, I'm all for it."

Sharpay looked around and she spotted Troy coming out of his car from one of the restaurant windows. She turned her attention back to the gang."I'll be fine, don't worry. Look there's Troy now. My producer, Luke should be here soon, so act like you know him. You just never mentioned it to Troy. We talked in the studio last night and he learned a lot about you guys. So don't be freaked out if he mentions something about you guys. Okay?"

Everyone nodded and smiled as they saw Troy and Gabby come over. Troy was still pissed at Sharpay and Sharpay was still pissed at him. He walked over to the table, holding hands with Gabby.

"Hey guys" he said

"Hey" "yo" "hi Troy" everyone replied. Troy and Gabby sat down and the gang started to talk. Sharpay looked at her clock, Luke would be there any minute now. She was scared that he would back out. She started to fidget with her hands under the table. After a couple of minutes she finally relaxed and saw Luke walked through the door. Her face instantly lit up. Everyone noticed and gave a questioning look. They turned their heads to what she was staring at. They Saw Luke, who was wearing faded jeans that also had holes in them and a gray and white American Eagle polo on. They all thought it was cause Luke walked through the door. Boy were they wrong, the real reason why she lit up was because she thought he was going to back out. She finally felt a bit ease, knowing that he showed up. It was time to put on a show. She got up and made her way towards him. She smiled at him and he smiled back. He knew that she was in action, so he was prepared for anything to come. Sharpay finally reached him and grabbed his hand. She put on her good acting skills and gave him a dreamy smile. They walked back to the table together and saw that Taylor and Kelsi were in shock. She didn't know why, but she was planning on finding out later.

"Luke, you already know the gang. Chad, Ryan, Taylor and Kelsi. But you haven't met Troy and Gabby." She said as she sat down.

"Hey" He smiled as he sat down next to her. He gave her a quick kiss and started to look at the menu.

Troy gave them a questioning look. "Who is this guy...he's way to affectionate to just be her friend." he thought. "So, I'm assuming your Sharpay's boyfriend?" He asked.

Luke looked up from the menu and smirked "Yeah, can't be anymore lucky can I?" He smiled as he threw his arm around her.

Troy nodded and took a minute to process this. He felt something weird inside of him, he wasn't sure yet. He looked at Gabby and smiled at her. She smiled back and batted her eyelashes. Sharpay saw this and wanted to barf, she rolled her eyes. Suddenly she felt something grab her hand and give it a squeeze. She looked down to see Luke's hand combined together with hers. She smiled and felt relaxed.

"So Chad, how's that basketball skill going? The one I taught you last time I saw you." Luke grinned.

It took Chad a while to figure out what he was talking about till, he remembered what Sharpay said. "Yeah man, its a tough one, I gave up. I can't even remember what you did now. You really need to come by more." He smiled. He was proud of his answer, he was afraid that he was going to say something stupid and ruin it for Sharpay.

Luke nodded "Yeah, I really do need to do that. I've been busy lately. Work, Sharpay, and everything else."

Chad nodded "Understandable."

Troy looked from Luke to chad. All these thoughts were coming to his head. "What the hell! Okay, so he's dating my ex and now supposedly he's teaching basketball moves for my best friend." Troy felt another feeling hit him. He didn't like this guy at all.

Sharpay smiled at how the gang was playing along perfectly. She moved in and kissed Luke.

Troy scowled and mumbled "Get a room"

Luke broke the kiss "Excuse me?"

Troy didn't mean for them to hear that out loud. He figured that since they did, he would let them know how he felt. Plus, he was pissed at Sharpay, so what more did it matter if he pissed them off or not. She was already pissed at him, why not make her more.

"Well some of us are getting ready to eat, we don't need people kissing constantly making themselves look stupid and a certain someone looking all slutty!" He spat. He really didn't mean to add the last part. He knew she wasn't a slut, but his anger got the best of him.

Luke had fury in his eyes, Sharpay never saw that before, she was starting to get scared. She never meant for them to fight, but them again, Troy had it coming for him.

"She's not slutty and if I was you I would just shut it." Luke growled. He had a serious tone in his voice, this time he wasn't acting. He really liked Sharpay, even if she didn't know it. He still wasn't going to let him get away with it.

Troy's eye narrowed "What if I don't."

Luke narrowed his eyes back "Then we'll take this outside."

Sharpay suddenly became even more scared. "Guys, lets not do this."

Ryan nodded "We can just ignore it."

Troy shook his head "If you wanna rumble, then lets go!"

Sharpay never wanted this to happen, her plan got more then it bargained for.

A/N: Uh-oh, cliff hanger lol. What do you thinks gonna happen? Will they fight? I guess you'll have to see in the next chapter.
