Chapter 1: Time For Hot Guys, Hot Weather, Hot tempers…
Malibu, California
East High
3:10
"Only 5 more minutes Gabs!" the note read. Gabriella glanced at the clock. 3:10, it read. She turned around to face Sharpay and gave her a thumbs up, which she returned.
"The book list to read over the summer is being passed out. Remember you can find any of these books at our local library or East High's library which will be open during the summer! I expect at least one paragraph for each book about your feelings towards the certain book." Mrs. Darbus gave and gave orders.
Gabriella read over the list that was given to her…
The list went on and on! She tossed it into her pink binder without importance. She took another glance at the clock. It read 3:14 one minute to get out of this freaking…
"Psst! Hey Gabi!" Sharpay interrupted her thoughts.
"What?" Gabriella asked but before she could get an answer., the bell rang… one minute early, not bad. The class went wild pushing and shoving people just to get out of the classroom.
"Don't forget to read" Mrs. Darbus shouted but being unsuccessfully heard by the humongous crowd of teenagers making a racket.
"Watch and learn!" Sharpay whispered to the girls once they were the last ones in the classroom. Taylor and Gabriella giggled.
Sharpay put on a convincible smile as she strutted to Mrs. Darbus desk. "I think you did an excellent job on this year's book list and I just want you to know, I'm really excited to get to read them!"
"Oh Sharpay! That is wonderful, have a nice summer!" Mrs. Darbus said as she gathered her things and headed out of the classroom.
"Kiss-up…" Gabriella whispered.
"Um excuse me?" Sharpay said.
"Nothing!" Gabriella said as she put on a innocent smile and the three burst out laughing.
"So, see you guys for the party today?" Gabriella asked even though she already knew the answer… The girls had always planned an end of the year party at the beach which was in front of the girls' houses. They lived next door of each other. It was a huge party for everyone.
"Ohhh… didn't you hear me? I have a whole list of books that I need to read!" Sharpay told her.
"Psh. Smartass." Taylor laughed as the others joined.
"Gabi… we live next door um duh? I thought we were going over to your house to get ready…" Sharpay looked at Gabriella.
"Oh… right!" Gabriella smiled as she turned around to look at a boy who had just whistled at her. She ignored it, now used to it.
When the three girls stepped outside, Gabriella spread her arms out wide and spun around. "We're free!"
Sharpay and Taylor laughed out loud. "Time for hot weather and some freaking hot guys!" Sharpay exclaimed as she looked at a guy that just passed by them.
"Shar… you're boy crazy!" Taylor laughed.
"Proud of it!" Sharpay beamed.

Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque High
3:15
The bell went off as thousands of students poured into the hallways overfilled with happiness. They were out of school to enjoy the two long summers of no homework or studying for mid-terms. They were free.
Troy squeezed through the crowd, heading to the gym where he had agreed to meet his friends. He opened the doors to the gym, picked up a basket-ball and made a perfect shot. His friends clapped for him.
Troy grinned. "It's summer!"
"Dude, it's gonna be so sweet!" Jason high-fived him.
"I know… hey," before Troy could finish his sentence a very good-looking girl with black hair entered the gym with a grin on her face. She ran to where Troy was standing. He picked her up and twirled her around. When he put her down they pulled into a kiss.
"What's up babe?" Troy asked.
"Hm… not much…" she shrugged.
Her name was Brooke. Troy and Brooke had been going out for the past 3 months. They both really liked each other and where happy for each other. Brooke was nice and fun but she could get really bitchy sometimes. She wasn't exactly popular but she wasn't at the lowest. She was very pretty, she had a nice, normal body (though not with many curves), she had piercing green eyes and a nice smile.
She had been new to Albuquerque High and Troy had shown her around. They eventually became friends and eventually took their relationship to the next step, and it was going just fine. She had three best friends: Katherine, Makayla, and Kenya. Which were going out with Troy's three best friends: Chad, Jason, and Mark. All of them loved to get together and just hang out.
You could pretty much say Troy had the perfect life: girlfriend, basket-ball, friends, this didn't matter much to him but sometimes it came to his benefit: he was rich. His dad had a very successful independent company. And he was Albuquerque High's basket-ball coach too. Just as a pastime.
"Yo Troy! Are we still up for your house today?" Mark asked him.
"Yeah, sure, I don't really care." Troy shrugged and smiled.
He grabbed Brooke's hand as they walked through the hallways to get out of the building. They got in Troy's car and headed towards his house as their friends followed. They were up for a good time tonight.

Malibu, California
"What am I freaking going to wear?!" Gabriella cried as she threw endless pieces of clothing to the air, burying her two friends underneath those clothes.
"Gabi!" Sharpay shouted as Gabriella stopped and sat down on the floor.
"Yeah?" she breathed heavily.
"Calm down."
"Ok." Gabriella stood up again as Taylor and Sharpay helped her look for something to wear.
The three girls found dresses to wear from each others wardrobes in no less than 1 hour.
Gabriella was wearing a very cute polka dot dress from Forever 21. With spaghetti straps and pointed band waist. It was green with white polka dots. The dress went perfect with her tanned skin tone and hugged her every curve. She was wearing her hair down with a white headband. Her shoes were American Eagle's Espadrilles. Her make-up was very light: light green eye shadow, light pink lip gloss, and light pink blush, mascara. But it still made her all look beautiful. (Dress and shoes' links on profile)
Sharpay was wearing a denim mini that had a worn look to it. With a Hollister Doheney style shirt: racer back, gorgeous embroidered pattern neckline, gathering below neckline, contrast cover stitching, rolled hem, seagull embroidery, and it's pink. Her hair was down and with a pink headband. Her shoes were simple white flip-flops. She worn light pink eye shadow and cheek blush, clear lip gloss and mascara. (Shirt on profile)
Taylor was wearing Wet Seal's Surplice Embroidered Hem Top. Denim capris and light yellow flip-flops. Her hair was down and he was wearing a skinny white headband. She wore clear lip gloss, brown-ish eye shadow, and mascara. (Shirt on profile)
The three complimented themselves on good choices of outfits and went outside where everything was been taken care of for the party: setting up tables, chairs, the DJ, and a few decorations. The girls squealed with excitement, they knew they were going to have a blast tonight. The girls' parents always left for the party… they trusted their daughters. None of them had boyfriends… yet.
The people started arriving around 9:00 p.m. In no less than 15 min, Gabriella's backyard a.k.a. the beach was full with teens and music was blasting through the speakers. It was so loud you had to scream to be heard. Most of the people were dancing very closely to each other. Others, who seemed unaware of hundreds of other people were watching them, were… let's just say very interested on sucking their partner's faces. Many people complimented the three girls about this being an awesome party.
"Gabi!" Sharpay shouted over the music. She looked alarmed. Gabriella stopped dancing and turned her attention to Sharpay.
"Some dudes are fighting over you, and if you don't stop them it just might turn into a fist fight." Sharpay warned grabbing her arm and leading her to where these boys were.
"Holy crap! Fighting…for me?!" Gabriella shouted as she saw what was going on in front of her.
Two guys apparently from the basket-ball team were beating the crap out of each other and shouting cuss words and muttering stuff related to Gabriella. She approached them with fear and shouted over the shouting crowd behind them. But it didn't work, they just kept going and going. She grabbed them both by their shoulders and tried to pull them apart. But it didn't work either. Two other guys approached to pull the two guys apart. They succeeded as they dragged the guys to opposite sides from each other.
Gabriella sighed. Fighting… for her?
"They were fighting about you Gabi!" Sharpay squealed.
"I know… I can't believe it." she laughed.
"Me either… because you know usually they'd be fighting over me but …"
Gabriella hit her playfully in the arm. They laughed together.
"Come on! Let's dance!" Sharpay dragged her to the center as they started moving to the beat.

Albuquerque, New Mexico
Troy and his friends were playing chicken in the pool. So far… Brooke and him had won most of the rounds.
"I'm tired! Let's do something else!" whined Kenya.
"Fine with me…" the others shrugged while they turned to see Brooke and Troy in a steamy make out session.
"Looks like they found something to do already!" Katherine laughed.
Jason faked cough, causing them to pull apart. Noticing that they had been watching them, both blushed furiously.
"Oh come on! I can't believe you guys still blush! We've caught you way to many times before!" Katherine laughed as Troy and Brooke shrugged.
It was true…
"Troooyyy!!" they heard Troy's mom call his name.
He got out of the pool and quickly dried himself. He went into the house and found his parents sitting on the dinning table.
"We have something important to tell you." Mr. Bolton said seriously.
"Um, can't this wait? Cause my friends are outside…" Troy said shyly.
"We prefer to tell you right know… so sit please." Mr. Bolton said.
"Um… ok." Troy said confused as he took a seat.
"Troy… we're moving!" Mrs. Bolton said with a huge smile on her face.
"We're WHAT?!" Troy shouted in disbelief. A million questions ran through his mind.
"We're… moving. To Malibu, California. You'll love it there! It's beautiful and it has great…" Troy's mother's words just blurred out. Troy wasn't listening anymore. How could they do this to him? This was seriously going to ruin everything. It was horrible. It felt like his world was coming to an end.
"But why?" Troy interrupted his mother who kept going on about Malibu.
"Because of my job Troy, you have to handle this like a grown-up… things like this happen." his father shrugged as Troy groaned in frustration, stood up and headed upstairs to his room. He slammed the door shut completely forgetting about his friends and everything.
"Where's Troy?" Brooke asked entering the house.
"He's upstairs honey… you might want to give him some time." Mrs. Bolton recommended but Brooke didn't listen, she headed upstairs and knocked softly on Troy's door.
Hearing no response, she walked in. She saw Troy laying down on his bed with his hands on his head in sign of frustration.
"Baby… what's wrong?" Brooke asked concerned.
"I'm freaking moving." he said robotically… more to himself.
"What?!" Brooke asked in disbelief.
"You heard me… I'm moving."
"I can't believe you're moving babe!!" Brooke whined as she sat beside him. Troy nodded sadly.
"To where?" Brooke asked.
"Malibu…" Troy sighed.
Brooke gasped. "Malibu… California?!"
"Yup… the one and only."
"Wow…. Is that far away?" she asked.
"I don't know Brooke…" he shrugged getting slightly annoyed.
He started thinking about his relationship with Brooke… It was definitely going to change. A lot. He had never really experienced a long-distance relationship. He didn't feel like experiencing one. I mean… could he really trust Brooke? She could go a bit wild sometimes. And would Brooke trust him?
Troy took a deep breath. "Brooke… don't you think we should… you know? Break up?"
"Break Up?! Are you crazy?! Why?" Brooke shrieked.
"Well… I don't know if we can really trust each other in having a long distance relationship. I mean I'm moving to Malibu… you're staying here in Albuquerque. How do I know you're not gonna be cheating on me or something?" Troy explained.
"Oh… so you don't trust me?" Brooke raised her voice.
"No it's just…"
"No…" Brooke cut him off. "Just save it Troy… it's ok… whatever. I'm sure I can find someone better than you. Just… I hope you remember me when you're screwing that Malibu blonde chick!"
"Bye Troy…" she said seductively, completely changing her tone from being furious, as she pecked him on the lips. She left his room and slammed the door shut. Brooke could have such a hot temper.
"Oh wow…" Troy sighed after a few minutes. He laid back down and eventually fell asleep.
