The day passed quick as everyone helped her catch up and soon it was lunch time. She said she would meet them in the cafateria after she went to her locker. She got the books she would need for after lunch and put the ones she had put away. She hurried and bumped into someone and landed on her butt. She quickly pulled down the skirt and hoped the person didn't see her black thong she had on. She pushed herself up and stood up. "Sorry about that I was in a hurry" she said and blushed.

When she looked up green eyes met blue and it was like the whole world fell apart. Both people were thinking that they have never felt like this before looking at someone. "Buffy Summers" she said softly and held out her hand. "Troy Bolton" the boy said and took her hand. He just held her hand thinking she was beautitful and she let him hold her hand thinking he was the most handsome guy she has ever seen.

"Nice to meet you Troy" Buffy said to him softly. She had no idea that this was the Troy Bolton Chad had told her about. Well more like she was not thinking about anything but his eyes. He had some of the most beautiful blue eyes she has seen in her life. She always was a sucker for blue eyes. She licked her lips and swallowed hard.

"So um Buffy I don't recgonize your face?" he asked her curioiusly. He would remember a face that beautiful if he ever saw it before. But for some reason it nagged at the back of his head that he saw it somewhere. Either in a picture or something, he had yet to let go of her hand and she did not seem to mind. He was not anxious to let go of the soft small hand.

"Hey" Chad called out at the end of the hall. He was to far away to see that Troy had a hold of Buffy's hand. "You two come on to lunch everyones waiting" he said and started to jog toward them.

Buffy blushed and pulled her hand out of Troy's. "Sorry Chad I wasn't paying attention and we bumped into each other. And he was just introducing himself" he explained to her with a smile on her face. Suddenly it all clicked that this was Chad's friend Troy Bolton.

"Well you got to meet Troy at least. Troy I am glad you got to meet my oldest female friend Buffy Summers" Chad grinned and clapped Troy on the back. "But enough talking it is food time" he said and chuckled.

Buffy smiled and shook her head and giggled. "Chad you always did think about food" she said. She tugged his arm and started walking. "I know you get cranky if you don't get feed on time. Kind of like a bear" she said to him teasingly and giggled.

"I am hurt" Chad grabbed his chest dramaticaly grinning the whole time.

"She knows you alright" Troy grinned. That was where he saw the face in pictures Chad had around. But the pictures did not do her justice she was so much more beautiful in real life. He kept glancing over at her and couldn't get why he felt the way he did whe he just met her.

In the cafateria Buffy was quickly welcomed at the gangs table. She forgot what it was like to be sitting with the popular kids again but it was different then at Hemery. They were nice for real and were nice to everyone even those that did not sit at the table. And she got to meet one more guy Zeke Baylor and she smiled and shook his hand after introduction.

Troy was talking baksetball with the guys while he watched Buffy out of the cornor of his eye. She fit in right away like with her there it was finaly complete the group. She made fast friends with Sharpay, Kelsi, Gabriella, and Taylor which was a good thing since it was hard to be friends with Sharpay but Buffy did it flawlessly.

Chad smirked when he saw Troy looking at her. "So you and Buffy seemed to get along" he said casually to Troy. He chuckled when he saw Troy blush a bit, Troy Bolton never blushed. He really had to like Buffy he thought to himself. He knew that Buffy had a rough gig since she told him everything and he felt for her and he wanted her to have some happiness. And if she would be happy with someone like Troy he would encourage it.

"Yeah shee seems cool" Troy said to Chad casually. "I mean she even changed since the last picture you had of her. I did not even recgonize her" he told Chad. She is beauitful that is the only word to describe her, sure she was hot but she was even more that. She wasn't cute she was better looking and she was more then pertty, beautiful was the only word to describe her in his eyes. "Did she break some guys heart coming here?"

"Um not exactly more like her heart was broke" Chad said. His eyes got dark remembering what Buffy told him about that Angel and that Spike. He wished he could beat the crap out of them both for her, for causing her such pain. She would never let him near either one since they were not exactly human and could hurt him.

"Whoever broke her heart was dumb" Troy said. And he saw Jason and Zeke nod in agreement.

"Yeah she seems like a nice girl" Zeke smiled. He glanced at Sharpay thinking Buffy was cute but Sharpay was even better looking. Of course he always had a crush on her since elemtary school when they all would play together on the playground.

"The girls like her to" Jason commented. He was already feeling like a big brother to Buffy. She seemed to bring it out in the guys because in her eyes you would see a flash of deep raw pain that would make your heart break. What was it that would hurt someone like her so bad.

The girls were also discussing guys. They were telling Buffy about each guy and Buffy quickly deduced who liked who. She could tell Sharpay liked Zeke and Kelsi liked Jason and Gabriella liked Ryan it was all so easy to see. And she knew that Taylor and Chad was dating and she saw it they were suited to each other. She brought out the good in Chad and he brought out the good in Taylor.

All the girls saw how Buffy and Troy would glance at each other and by the end of the lunch they had a plan. "Excuse me" Buffy said. "I will be right back" she got up and went to throw her trash away.

"Okay girls we have to get her with Troy" Sharpay whispered. "They won't stop looking at each other" the others nodded. "Party my house we pair them up and make sure they show up together. And we spread around the girls and guys don't ask them to dance unless it is one of us. We have to make sure they end up together by the end of the night" she said.

"Good plan" Taylor said and smiled. She was glad that her friend Troy found a girl to like and Buffy seemed the kind of girl for him. She was nice and smart, and she was like the missing puzzle piece to the group.

"Whats a good plan?" Buffy asked sitting down and looking at the girls.

"A party my place this weekend. A welcome to East High bash" she said. The guys perked up at the word party and gave each other high fives.

"Party at your house" Chad grinned. "We can spread the word" he said. He had a feeling Sharpay had a plan and would ask her about it later if Taylor didn't tell him. He was sure the other girls would infrom the guys so they would know what was up. He would bet money it had to invloved Buffy and Troy.

Buffy smiled glad she had firends already, she just hoped that her past would not come back and haunt her. She wanted to live in peace and be a normal girl. The rest of the day passed quickly and then the rest of the week followed soon after. When friday rolled around the whole school was talking about the upcoming party.

"You can ride with Troy tonight" Sharpay said to Buffy. "So that way you won't get lost on your way. Oh and bring a bag the whole gang is staying for the weekend."

Buffy nodded and smiled. "Sounds good to me." Of course I do not mind riding with Troy alone in a car she thougth to herself. She could finaly admit she had a crush on the basketball star and blushed when he would glance at her.

"Yeah" Troy grinned happy. The gang smiled glad both were into that idea. "So pick you up at your place at 5" he said. "So that way we can be the first their and store our bags." Normally when she threw a party they were the first ones their since they would help her decorate and stuff and get set up.

"Perfect that gives me enough time to get home and get changed and pack a bag" Buffy said and smiled.

At the end of lunch it was settle some would each bring a drink since the food was already taken care of. And they could bring snacks to be put back for when it is the gang. At the end of the day they each hurried home either by car or bus or what not. Like usually Buffy rode with Taylor and Chad since they all lived close to each other.

At home she found a note saying her mom was gone for the next two weeks on a buying spree for her new gallery she was opening up here. She hurried up to her room and changed out of her clothes and put on a short short black skirt and a red corset top that had the lace in the front that was white and black heels. She let her hair down and curled it and did her make up dark and sexy and got her bag for the weekend together. She put it by the door and cleaned the house a bit vacumes and swept and did the few dishes and put them away. Just as she put the last dish away the doorbell rang and she hurried to answer.

After school at home Troy picked out the stuff he looked best in to take to Sharpay's. He put on a pair of black pants and a red and white polo shirt and his sneakers for the party. He put his bag in the car and headed to Buffys house. When he opened the door he had to swallow hard. She looked great and they were each wearing red, white, and black. "Color cordinating I see" he chuckled.

"Yeah and we didn't even plan" Buffy giggled. She picked up her bag but Troy quickly took it from her and grabbed her purse and made sure she had her keys. She locked the house behind them and followed him out to his car. "So what are Sharpay's parties like?"

"Well they can get wild but we make sure it doesn't get so bad that the cops are called. If there is drinking we do not provided someone else brings it. I try not to drink to make sure things go smooth" Troy told her and smiled. He could also keep a eye on his friends espically the females so they would not get hurt and he knew Chad, Jason, Zeke, and Ryan did the same.

"I am not a drinker so nothing to worry about here" Buffy smiled. They chatted the whole time on the way to Sharpay's and when they got their they were put to work. So Buffy talked to the girls as she helped them out and Troy to the guys, that was the plan. They would not get to see each other till party time and that is when Chad would make a comment about Buffy being careful since some jerks around and if it went as planned Troy would offere to watch over her.

"Okay party time" Sharpay grinned and turned on the music when it was all decorated. She nodded to Chad to say the plan is a go.

"Buffy be careful some guys are total jerks around here. And might bother you since you are new and stuff" Chad told her.

She was ready to say I can take care of myself when Troy spoke up. And she did not mind what he said at all it would just give her more time with him.

"Don't worry I will watch over her" Troy said and put his arm over her shoulder. They all tried to keep in their laugh at the way Buffy blushed, everyone but her and Troy seemed to notice it. The way things were going by the end of the night they would have to end up together.

"Great now that is settled" Sharpay said. The guest started to arrive in the next few mintues, "have fun" she said and waved and pulled Zeke away to say hi to some people. Couple by couple they left Troy and Buffy.

This is going to be interesting Buffy and Troy thought to themselves at the same time.
