Remember to review guys i do spend a while on this (even thought it doesnt seem like it) and i need your support!!

Its not a long chapter, its just a sort of...i dunno...Read, review lol

Usually when a guy asks you to go to a party, you have a great time. You have a few laughs, have a drink or two, and just generally have a good time.

But I always did manage to befriend idiots. If you could call Troy Bolton a friend. He was barley my acquaintance.

"You know," I said smiling at him. "You make me feel like such a princess, bringing me here, then abandoning me, then coming back to see me every half an hour. You really are a prince charming huh?"

He looked at me and frowned. "You know, you could loosen up a bit, instead of sitting in the corner of the room all by yourself."

"I don't know any of these people!" I said, for the fifth time that night.

"There's thing that people tend to do, it's called talking…." He smirked.

I stuck out my tongue, "I don't want to befriend these people."

He raised an eyebrow. "Why…?"

As if on queue a drunken guy fell down the stairs and onto the floor.

"WOOO!! WHAT A RUSH!!" He stood up, and started swaying on the spot. "I've always wanted a pet chicken…"

Then he stumble away, after falling to the floor again.

I looked at Troy, "Well, that could be why."

He scoffed. "He's just drunk. He's nicer, when he's sober."

"What's his name?""I don't know, Gerald or something." He froze. "Howard, Tom, Mike…..or was it Billy?"

I rolled my eyes as he went through a list of names.

"Look just take me back home, I already told you I didn't want to be here."

"But you're here now." He said taking my hand and pulling me up, I felt a spark shoot through my hand, and we both immediately let go.

He looked at me, with a blank face. Did he feel It too?

"Um….Do you want a drink?" he said avoiding eye contact.

I nodded. "Sure." I said, even thought I was already holding one.

He quickly walked away, and I sat back down in my seat.

"Awkward… " I said under my breath.

I jumped as my phone started to vibrate in my back pocket. I took it out and looked at the screen.

Brian.

I groaned and disconnected the call.

"Who's Brian?"

I looked up, Troy was standing over me with my drink. He handed it to me, and I put the other cup down. I shrugged.

"You know, just someone." I took a sip of the drink and twisted my face, this one tasted spiked.

Troy tensed up a bit. "Like a boyfriend, someone?" He asked.

I looked at him from the corner of my eye, was someone jealous?

I quickly debated whether or not I should ask him, but quickly decided against it.

"No, not a boyfriend." He seemed to relax a bit.

"Oh," He said sitting down next to me.

"Yeah," I looked at him.

"So, where's Sindy?"

"I don't feel like wasting my time with her," He groaned. "She gives me headaches."

I laughed. "Aww, Poor baby."

He smiled at me. "Hey, as long as you're here they'll all stay away."

And then it suddenly clicked. I looked at him.

"That's why you brought me here." I smiled. "Because you didn't want them crowding round you."

"Well don't say it out loud." He said to me.

"Worried about your reputation?" I teased. "Isn't East Highs King supposed to love the attention?"

He blushed at the comment and shook his head. "I didn't ask for the attention, and East Highs King? Please….I'm more like the God."

I hit him playfully, and he laughed.

"You had to spoil the moment didn't you."

"Sorry," He smiled and looked at me, I looked back.

I loved the colour of his eyes. They were blue, an icey sort of blue.

They were just so hypnotising. His eyes were moving from my eyes to my lips. I blushed. He wasn't thinking, what I think he was thinking. Right?

I just met him, didn't he hate me? But he was so cute. Stop it!! I said to myself.

I felt his breath on my mouth and I was just about to lean forward when…

"TROY!!"We pulled apart quickly, Troy scratching the back of his neck a looking up.

I looked up too. A blonde was walking towards us, in a little pink sparkly dress.

"Sindy?" I asked him quietly.

He shook his head. "Nooo…"

The blonde stood in front of us, and put her perfect manicured hand onto her hip. God was I jealous of those nails.

I would think that, some girl comes and stands in front of me and all I can do is stare at her long nails. I raised my own hands and looked at my nails. I could use a manicure.

"Are you going to introduce me to your….friend?" She asked smiling.

I looked up at her. Was she talking about me? I looked around thinking their was someone else here.

"Ermm, Well…" He said, scratching his neck again.

"I'm Sharpay." She smiled sticking her hand out to me. "And you are?"

Sharpay? Like the dog? I decided I wasn't going to ask her, because my mouth seemed to get me into a lot of trouble. I have to learn to think before I speak.

"Gabriella." I said shaking her hand.

Her smile seemed to brighten. "Nice name…." She trailed off. Was that my queue to say hers is nice too?? I didn't really want to.

She looked over at Troy. "So Sindys been looking for you."

Troy nodded. "Great."

Her smile darkened immediately. "No, Bolton, Not great, she keeps asking me where you are. So I advise that you tell her you don't want a relationship from her. Now." She said pointing to the Kitchen.

"Yeah, you see I…"

"GO!!" She said stamping her foot.

"I'll be back soon." He said to me and quickly walked off.

Sharpay looked at me again and smiled. She sat down beside me a crossed her right leg over her left.

"You're the geek girl right?"

"I suppose…" I groaned to myself. Why was I always geek girl?

She laughed. " You're funny I like you." She lightly pushed me.

Wait. When did I make a joke?

"Umm, thanks???"

"We have to get together some time. You know and talk." She smiled again.

I saw a movie like this once. The blonde girl pretends to like you but she really doesn't. She wants to know you're secrets so she can spread them around and then every one will hate you. Well, I'm not going to have my secrets round my new school.

"Sure." I said. Damn, I have to learn to say no.

"Great. We'll talk some time, get some details." She smiled and stood up. "I'll see you around."

Great, well I warned myself. She'll know my secrets soon.

"Ignore her." Troy said bouncing down into the seat.

"Huh?"

"Whatever she said ignore it." He smiled. "She's a fake blonde you know?"

"Really?" I asked.

He nodded. "But seriously the girls usually full of crap."

I looked at him. "What do you think she told me."

He paled, but quickly shook it off. "Did she say anything about me."

"No, but what do you think sh-"

"Listen, If you can tell me who this Brian guy is and what he's done to you, I'll tell you what I thought, she would have told you." He stared at me as I paled.

"I'll get back to you." I whispered.

He nodded. "It's a deal, Montez."

I nodded, my eyes glossing over with tears.

"Come on, let's get you home." He said, pulling me up, and walking towards the door. "It's getting late."

My tears seemed to vanish. He was holding my hand. Our fingers intertwined and the spark was their. But the thing that surprisingly made me smile, he never pulled away.
