On one calm summer evening, five friends decided to play a game of truth or dare. Troy Bolton, Sharpay Evans, Ryan Evans, Chad Danforth, and Jason Cross were all scattered around the Evans living room.
"Troy, truth or dare?" Sharpay asked her friend.
"Uh, dare," said Troy as he sat down on a chair.
A mischievous smile started to creep up her face, "I dare you to call someone from West High and ask them on a date, then you have to go on the date."
"What! What kind of dare is that?!? And how will I even get the number of someone from West High, we go to East High Sharpay, if you didn't know!?"
"I am Miss.Sharpay Evans, I can get any phone number of any student from any school. I have my ways... I'll be right back, don't do anything!" Sharpay ran up the stairs and came back down carrying a thick red book, "This is the West High directory, I'll randomly pick a girl thats our age and tell you the number, then you call her and ask her out. Okay?"
Troy groaned, "Fine. Just don't pick a total freak!" Chad, Jason and Ryan were just sitting on the couch eating potato chips as they watched in amusement.
Sharpay closed her eyes and opened the directory and placed her finger on the page. Then she opened her eyes and read what her finger pointed to, "Gabriella Montez (905)588-3827 Okay Troy, start dialling,"
Meanwhile at the Montez residence, Taylor McKessie, Kelsi Nielson and Gabriella Montez were having one of their weekly slumber parties.
"Gabriella, you never take any risks, you're just so unadventurous and predictable!" her friends complained.
"Well, you guys aren't so exciting either!" Gabriella replied as she painted her fingernails.
"Lets have some fun, whenever a risk or challenge comes up- we have to take it, whatever is exciting we'll do it, just as long as it's not wrong or life-threatening," Taylor suggested.
The girls nodded and responded, "Deal" The girls shook hands and continued their manicures. Just then the phone started to ring. Gabriella ran over to the phone and picked up.
Gabriella is regular font and Troy is Bold font.
"Hello"
"Hi, is Gabriella Montez there?"
"Yea, I'm Gabriella"
"Hey Gabriella, I'm Troy Bolton, i was wondering maybe if you would like to go out with me sometime?"
Gabriella was just about to decline when she remembered the deal "Um, sure."
"How bout we go to the New Mexico Dance tomorrow?"
"Okay. But what's the New Mexico Dance? I just moved here last month."
"Oh it's this event that's held in "NM Restaurant" where you eat and dance than you go outside on the beach to watch fireworks."
"That sounds so fun, so do you want to meet at the restaurant at around 5:00 o'clock?"
"Yea thats good, well see ya then!"
"Hold on, how do we know each other? Do we go to the same school?"
"Um... well no, I go to East High."
"Then how do you know me?"
Troy didn't want to tell her about Sharpay's dare so he simply answered "My friend knows you and told me your number."
"Oh okay then. Well I'll see you Saturday!"
"Yea, Bye!"
"See ya!"
"Taylor, Kelsi! This Saturday I'm going out with Troy Bolton, a complete stranger, is that exciting enough for you?!" Gabriella told her friends as she started painted her toenails.
"Oh my gosh Gabriella!, Troy Bolton?!? As in the Troy Bolton, he's the captain of East High's basketball team, he's real cute," informed Taylor as she stood up.
"Wow he must be pretty popular if people from West High know him. Now i'm really nervous. Can you guys just come to the dance with me so you can make sure i don't make a total fool of myself, you can just hang around the restaurant and do whatever you want?"
"Okay, a dance sounds like fun anyways," said Kelsi as she blow her fingernails to make them dry faster.
"Hey guys what should I wear tomorrow for my date?"
"You should totally wear that red, black and white floral dress with the black lace straps that we bought last weekend." suggested Taylor. (A/N - The dress is in my profile)
"You can also wear your black/white hoop earrings and those short black heels you have," Kelsi added.
"Thanks guys, i'm really tired, so let's go to sleep," Gabriella starting walking towards her bed.
On both sides of town, both teenagers were extremely nervous. Little did they know that tomorrow would be a day they would never forget.
