Disclaimer: I don't own anything. If I add any of my own characters, I will say so.

A/N: This is my third fanfic, so it probably won't be as good as others. Review please. Also, please read and review my other stories: The Hats Go Up, and It's Not That easy. Both HSM related.

Gabriella's POV:

This night must have been the best night ever. I had spent the whole of my winter vacation reading my books, and going out with my mum. Then, I get forced to go to this party on New Years Eve, and I suddenly get pushed on a karaoke stage, with a gorgeous boy! I didn't want to be there at first, and it didn't seem like he wanted to either. But out of nowhere, I heard him start singing the song 'The Start Of Something New'. I saw him as he was just about to walk off, so I had to do something. So I started singing. And he stopped! He came back, and we were singing like we'd known eachother for ages. Everyone was cheering. After, we both went outside and were talking. He was so down to earth. I liked being in his company, even though I'd only known him for about 10 minutes. After the countdown to New Year, we gave eachother our phone numbers, and went to find our parents. He said he'd call the next morning. He never did.

Troy's POV:

On New Year's vacation, I had been playing basketball most of the time. Yes, basketball was my life. And i enjoyed it. My dad was my coach, so it was great spending a lot of time with him. But on my last night on vacation, I went to a party. I was forced to go and sing with a girl I had never met before. And I'd never even sung before! Except in my shower of course..I was freaking out. But the music started, and I started singing. Then she started. It was awesome. We must have sounded good, because everyone stopped dancing. They were looking at us. Once the music stopped, we were looking into eachother's eyes. I introduced myself, and she introduced herself..Gabriella. Not long after, she had to go. So I gave her my number, and she gave me hers. I haven't heard from her since, and I'ts been 4 months. I wonder what she's doing now.

Dermalt High School - Gabriella. Made up

Gabriella Montez was walking down the corridor to her next lesson - Chemistry. She had an exam, so she was reading through her book as she walked. Not that she needed to revise..she was the smartest girl in the class. As Gabriella was walking, she bumped into someone. She said 'Sorry' and saw that the person had walked off, but dropped something. It was a piece of paper. Gabriella started reading it.

'Exchange students wanted, to go to a school in New Mexico for one month. 1st May 06 - 31st June 06. Any students interested, please see the principal ASAP.'

Gabriella smiled. She thought this could be a new chance to make new friends. She noticed that she was 5 minutes late for Chemistry. Her first time ever being late for a class. Gabriella walked in, and sat down after a very boring lecture about being late for class. After Chemistry class had finished, Gabriella decided to go to the principal, and tell him about the exchange student programme. It turned out, that Gabriella was the third person to sign up. After school ended, Gabriella walked home, and told her mum about becoming an exchange student.

'So does that mean that we'll be having someone from New Mexico staying here for a month? And you'll be going over there for a month?' Gina Montez asked.

'Yes, mami. Please can I go? I've already signed up. And I think it will be a good opportunity to make new friends.' Gabriella begged.

'Okay. I suppose. But you have to phone me everyday.' Gina told her.

'Yes mami..I promise. But I don't go until the 31st May anyway, so you don't have to worry just yet.' Gabriella laughed.

East High - Troy.

Troy looked at the school notice board. 'Musical auditions. Ha.' He laughed at the sign up sheet. 'No one's going to be able to sign up. Sharapay and Ryan have Ms Darbus wired when it comes to school musicals.' But then, something else caught his eye. It was a flyer for exchange students. He took it off the board, and met Chad, Zeke, Jason and the other basketballers at lunch. He showed the flyer to them.

'Guys, wouldn't it be cool? We go to a school in Oregon for a month, and people from that school come here.' He told them.

'Yeah. I think we should sign up. Could show them our basketball moves.' Chad replied.

'Alright, I'll go talk to Principal Matsui after lunch. I best go and put this back on the board.' Troy said.

After lunch, Troy and Chad signed up to be exchange students. Then Taylor, the smartest girl in the year, saw the flyer. She had to sign up, so she went to the principal right away.

A/N: I don't really like this chapter. But I just hurried it, to introduce the story. Review please.
