A/N hey ya'll check out my freewebs site, I have a story poster for this fic... as soon as I get it up, which will be soon.

The rest of the day wasn't too bad save for gym. I had to dress out and I'll just say Chicken's ain't got nothin on me. We were still doing the basketball thing.

Again, me and Bowl Head.

"Chuckie." Curly pointed. Oh of course.

"Demi-bear." Troy smirked. What's bigger than a satillite dish? Oh right, my eyes after he said that. Sharpie giggled and Gabriella's, someone had told me her name in third period, jaw hit the floor. I walked over and punched him hard in the arm. He just laughed and we got to playing.

I didn't kill anyone. that was the only good thing about the game.

I couldn't wait to get home and as soon as I did I ran inside to find something to wear. I ended up in a black and white plaid jumper dress and black converse. Did I ever mention I have a huge collection of Converse shoes? I have an addiction. I attacked my hair with hairspray and slid in a thick black plastic headband. I heard a car and went to my window to see a white car pull into the Bolton's drive way and Troy went running out. I walked back to metal shelves decorating one wall of my room. I'm still holding strong to the 'I have the coolest room' theory. Finally mom called me down and I went running straight to Spinner's car. His car was nicer than Axe's

"Why don't you drive us to school?" I asked him.

"I hate driving." Spinner shrugged.

"Ookay." I crossed my arms and looked out at the road. Spinner drove in silence to the house and parked in the street. He got out first, coming around to help me out. "Thanks." I smiled, He snaked his arm around my waist and led me to the door. If he wasn't gay I'd have slapped him. We got to the door and just walked in. The house was huge, like big enough for the entire Maddox family, aunts, uncles and cousins included.

"Madds! Spinner!" Stacey, Juni and Axe squeezed between a couple of people and came over. "Ooh looking mighty sexy Spins. Got an eye on a certain Evans boy?"

"For the millionth time Stace, I don't have a crush on Ryan, he's not even gay." Spinner rolled his eyes.

"Oh come on, we know it's just a matter of his coming out." Stacey grinned.

"He's not in the closet. You have the worst Gay-dar."

"I'm insulted." Stacey pouted. "Come on Madds, I have to dance out the hurt." She grabbed my hand leading me onto the dance floor as Britney Spears 'Piece of Me' came on.

I'll admit it, I like Britney Spears. She's flippin psycho, but Psycho can sing. I'd been a fan since she came out years ago, I'm not embarrassed about it, I don't go on Youtube and scream for people to leave her alone, but I like her. As Stacey and I started dancing I could feel eyes on us. Maybe it was that we were pretty much the school freaks, maybe it was because our dancing was something you'd find in boarderline R movie, maybe because Stacey had a Bee hive that would make Amy Winehouse jealous, who knows.

"I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous, I'm Mrs. Oh My God that Britney's shameless." We sang along. The song ended and I went off to get something to drink while Stacey stayed on the floor. I may have gotten a little lost though, because I ended up going up a flight of stairs and into a bedroom. I was about to leave when I heard someone say my name... in the room.

"Yeah?" I turned back in. Troy apeared, walking over from the other side of the bed.

"What's up?" He asked. I closed the door, he pointed to a small sitting room and I followed him in there.

"Got lost. I was looking for the kitchen." I shrugged.

"Upstairs?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't say it was I was being logical in my search."

"Ooh you got me there." He laughed. I tried to ignore the part of my brain that was fixated on his laugh, and his amazing eyes, and how he seemed to light up when he smiled.

'You're losing it Demi.' I mentally slapped myself.

"So, shouldn't you be downstairs with your friends?" I asked.

"Gabriella couldn't come. There's not really a lot you can do at a party when your girlfriend's not there."

Now that hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew he had a girlfriend, Stacey told me that. I just didn't know it was Gabriella. I had been hoping it was some evil witch, but Gabriella was pretty sweet. I coughed and nodded.

"Yeah I can see how that would be true." I bit my lip.

"So, what about you? What brings you to Fiesta de Evans?" Troy asked.

"No way, this is Sharpie's place?" I grinned. This would be the perfect time to get back at her... but that would require a lot of work.

"Yes, it's Sharpay's place. Ryan's too." Troy nodded.

"Stace wanted to come. Said we weren't invited so crashing it was the only polite thing to do or something like that." I shrugged. "I don't question her insanity anymore." Troy laughed and nodded.

"I've known her since the first grade and she still doesn't make any sense to me."

"Well at least she's fun. She doesn't get into the whole 'look like this' thing." I stood up and walked around the little room.

"Yeah well."

"You know, it shouldn't surprise me that this is Sharpie and Ryan's place." I went to the window and looked out at the huge pool in the back yard.

"I should be going." Troy realized, standing up. "My friends are going to figure out I havn't been down there for about an hour. See you around Demi-bear." He winked before walking out. I rolled my eyes and after a few minutes followed suit, walking out to find Stacey.

"Madds, there you are. I've been looking for you, Spinner's like not feeling good, we're all heading out." She grabbed my hand and pulled me out towards Spinner's car, where he was waiting, looking slightly green. "See you later Madds, and remember what I said about Troy." She turned, walking towards Axe's car.
