Summary: Sharpay starts dating the new guy, Jake Taylor. Their relationship seems perfect, but what if it's not? Will the infamous Troy Bolton be the only one to hear her silent cries for help[Tropay

So, this is totally off the top of my head. I knew I wanted to write a new High School Musical story, but I wasn't sure what I wanted it to be about. Then, this idea just kind of popped up in my head. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I own the writing. And I own Jake Taylor… And I own the plot. Yay! I don't own High School Musical…sadly.

Chapter 1- The New Kid

Sharpay Evans strutted over to her locker on the first day of senior year at East High. For the occasion, she had chosen jean skinny jeans, a pink short sleeved shirt, a white shrug, and silver flats. She had pulled her hair into a side ponytail that rested in her left shoulder. This year, she carried a black and white Chanel bag as her book bag.

Sharpay quickly entered in her combination, and opened her locker. Suddenly, a pair of hands covered her eyes.

"Guess who?" a husky voice whispered in her ear, their breath tickling her neck. She rolled her covered eyes.

"Hey Troy." She greeted. He groaned before removing his hands. Troy leaned against his own locker (it was next to Sharpay's) and stuck his hands into the front pocket of his jeans.

"How can you always tell that it's me?" he wondered. Sharpay smirked at him as she slammed her locker door shut.

"I've known you for like…13 years. I know your voice Troy." She told him. He nodded.

"I guess that works. So what's your schedule like?" he asked, but Sharpay wasn't paying attention. A boy had just walked down the hallway. A cute boy. Troy snapped his fingers in front of Sharpay's face, snapping her back into reality.

"Sorry. What were you saying?" Sharpay asked, not letting her eyes stray from the boy. He was new, she could tell. Every other person would have been shouting at Troy a "hey" or "sup". Then they would have shot Sharpay some look.

From the corner of her eye, Sharpay couldn't help but notice Troy glaring at the new kid. She finally ripped her gaze away from him, and placed it on Troy. She cocked her head to the side slightly, a confused expression on her face. Sharpay was silently asking why he was so malicious towards the sandy haired god. He shrugged his shoulders.

Sharpay's breath caught in her throat when the boy walked up to her in his form-fitting red shirt and jeans. He stopped in front of her, looked at a piece of paper in his hands, and smiled up at her sheepishly.

"Hey. I'm Jake Taylor, and I'm new here." He said as he stuck out his hand.(A/N: go to my profile to see what he looks like) Sharpay gazed dreamily at him for a moment before grabbing his hand and shaking it.

"Sharpay Evans." She said in a voice that made it obvious she was flirting slightly. They dropped their hands, and Sharpay twirled a long strand of her blonde hair around her right index finger.

"What do you want?" Troy snapped at the Jake. Sharpay shot him a look.

"Sorry Jake. He isn't always this crabby. In fact, I have no clue what's gotten into him today." Sharpay said with a slight giggle. Jake laughed slightly.

"Ah. So he must be the basketball star. Troy Bolton. I've heard a lot about you." Jake said. Troy shot him a suspicious look.

"How?"

"My dad is the new principle. He's had a few other administrators over that can't seem to shut up about you." He answered. Troy glowered.

"Anyway, what did you need Jake?" Sharpay asked, sending Troy an annoyed look.

"I was just wondering if maybe you could tell me where my classes were. I'm already lost." He told her sheepishly. She smiled warmly.

"Yeah, just let me see your schedule real quick." She said as she slipped the paper he was holding from his hands, making sure their fingers brushed. She glanced over the words on the paper, and a small smile graced the lines of her lips.

"Well, you've got my homeroom, and first like 4 classes. I think you've got 5th period with Troy here, then 6th period, as far as I know, you share with my twin brother, Ryan. Then 7th period you share with Gabby, Troy's girlfriend. So, it should be pretty easy for us to help you around here for the first couple weeks." She informed. Jake nodded, taking the paper back and shoving it into his messenger bag.

"Thanks Sharpay." Suddenly, Troy's hand tugged on Sharpay's arm.

"What Troy?"

"We should get to homeroom." He told them. Sharpay nodded, and grabbed onto Jake's hand. Troy tensed slightly.

"Let's go. Ms. Darbus's room is this way." She told him. They all walked into the direction of the classroom, meeting up with Gabby along the way.

"Hey Troy!" she greeted, placing a short kiss on his lips. Troy grabbed her hand, and they began walking again.

"Who's this?" she asked Troy, motioning towards Jake.

"This is Jake Taylor. He's new here, and I thought we could show him around." Sharpay interjected. Gabby nodded, and sent a knowing look Sharpay's way. Sharpay rolled her eyes as they entered Darbus's room.

Sharpay sat in the available seat next to Ryan, but when Jake tried to take the seat next to her, Troy quickly sat down. Gabby, not noticing anything, happily took the seat in between Troy and Taylor.

"Jake, you can sit by me." Ryan offered after Sharpay introduced them. Jake nodded with a smile before taking the empty seat next to Ryan Evans.

"Alright class. Sit down sit down. I know you're all so excited for the first day of school, but please. Save your talk about the summer until after you leave my classroom. And don't forget…" she began as she picked up a piece of chalk. When she moved, the words "TURN OFF YOUR CELLPHONES!!" were written largely on the chalkboard. The class groaned outwardly, and many students pulled out their cell phones to shut them off.

-End of School Day-

Sharpay made her way to the doors of Eat High with Jake Taylor, laughing at something he had said to her. Troy Bolton glared at the pair. Well, more like glared at their entwined hands. He didn't know why, but ever since Sharpay started flirting with that kid, he hated him. He shuddered slightly before slamming his locker door shut.

"Well, bye Jake. I'll see you tomorrow." Sharpay said as she kissed his cheek. Jake smiled at her, and gave her a short hug before walking off to his car. Sharpay sighed as she walked off towards her pink convertible. She immediately saw Ryan leaning against the passenger side, waiting for her to unlock it.

"Why are you at my car?" Sharpay asked.

"My car is at the shop, duh."

"When did that happen?"

"When I backed it into a pole this morning. I told you in homeroom." He informed as she unlocked the door. She shrugged to herself as they got into the car. Sharpay started the engine, and they made their way back to the Evans' household.

Sharpay was all too soon pulling into the long driveway. She slammed the car door after her, and made her way to the front door.

"We're home!" she screamed into the quietness before rushing up the stairs.

-Later That Night-

Sharpay punched in the numbers she knew all too well.

"Hello?" Kelsi's familiar voice answered. Sharpay smiled.

"Hey Kels!"

"Hey Shar! What's up? How was the first day of senior year at East High?"

"Not the same without you. I can't believe your parents made you move to Wisconsin. Who moves to Wisconsin?" Sharpay answered gloomily. Her best friend, Kelsi, had moved away to Wisconsin after sophomore year for a reason only Sharpay and Jason knew. Kelsi laughed slightly.

"Me. And I have good news!"

"Really? What is it?"

"It's some gossip that you can tell everyone at school tomorrow!" Kelsi teased. Sharpay groaned in anticipation.

"Just tell me!"

"Okay. They caught my dad, so mom and I get to move back to Albuquerque!" she screamed. Sharpay squealed.

"Are you serious?!"

"Yes! The found my dad living with some crack addict, so they took him in, we identified him, and we get to go home." Kelsi told her. Sharpay squealed again.

"I'm so excited! When to you get back?!"

"We started backing this morning, and we'll be back by Friday."

"FRIDAY?! I can't live knowing you're coming back until FRIDAY!" Kelsi laughed again.

"Shar. You've lived now knowing if I was ever going to come back for over a year. I think you can handle 4 more days." Kelsi assured.

"Yeah. I guess you're right…"

"So, what else happened today?" Sharpay gasped.

"Oh em gee! I almost forgot to tell you! There's a new boy named Jake Taylor, and I think he likes me!"

"Do you like him?"

"Yeah…I think so."

"Is he cute?"

"Heck yes!"

"Then no problem. Just ask him out."

"Kels," she began as she walked over to her closet. "It's just not that easy."

"Why not?" Sharpay began pulling out random clothes and looking at them to decide what to wear to school the next day.

"Because, I have to wait for him to ask me."

"Why?"

"Because that's just what you do, okay?"

"Alright, but it sounds to me like there's more to this story…"

"There is. Troy's been acting weird today. Like, he was glaring all the time at Jake. I get the feeling he doesn't like him just because I do. Which I don't get. It's not as if we're best friends or anything, so I'm sure he's not being over protective." Sharpay held the phone up to her ear with her shoulder as she pulled out a short denim shirt and laid it on the bed. "And we're not dating so he can't be jealous. It's weird."

"Maybe he secretly loves you." Kelsi suggested. Sharpay scoffed.

"Kels, he has a girlfriend."

"Doesn't matter. I'm surprised you two haven't gotten together yet by the way you were gushing to me all the time about him. Plus, I could totally tell he liked you when I was there."

"Don't be ridiculous. You know I'm over Troy. I like Jake now." Sharpay disagreed as she placed a cream colored shirt that had sleeves that ended 3 inches above her elbow and pears and apples covering it, on top of the skirt. She also pulled out a pair of black footless tights and laid them next to that.

"Okay, Okay. Well, my mom wants me to get off the phone and pack some more. Call me tomorrow. I want details about this 'Jake' kid." Kelsi ordered. Sharpay giggled.

"Okay Kels. Bye."

"I'll see you soon Pay."

"Love you Kelsi. I can't wait to see you!" Sharpay said, a smile on her lips.

"Love you, too Shar. Bye."

"Bye."

Sharpay hung up the phone and glanced at the clock. She gasped audibly.

"11:49!" she shrieked. When she heard her brother loudly groan in the room next to hers, she covered her mouth. She quickly changed out of her clothes, and into her pajamas. She rushed into her bathroom and brushed her teeth and washed her face before rushing back out to her room. She climbed into her bed, and shut out the light.

Hello my wonderful readers that I love so freaking dearly! How was it? Give me the honest truth.

Okay, so this chapter didn't have much drama, nor info. It was really just the intro. The next chapter will (hopefully) be more…informative, or whatever. I'll try and update asap!
