Chapter 1-

On September 3rd Gabriella Montez walked up to East High with her boyfriend of seven months, Troy Bolton. Yes, she had broken it off for a few days this summer, however the two of them talked it over and both decided that the stress of the feature was getting to Troy and decided that it was better to over look it and not think about it. The two had promised that they would live in the here and now, and take the future as it came. Troy lightly pulled Gabbi to his side as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and she wrapped one around his waist.

"Hey Gabbi!" she heard a voice call out to her. She turned to see her recently new best friend Ryan Evens walking up to her as she and Troy stopped in front of East High's water fountain to wait for their friends to arrive.

"Hey Ry!" she greeted him leaving Troy's side to give him a hug. Ryan and Gabriella had become best friends after this past summer. Gabriella had brought Ryan into a world where he has more in common with people, including baseball. He was welcomed among the Wildcats when he stepped out of Sharpay's shadow. And Ryan had stepped up and helped the Wildcats win the talent show and finally after sixteen years stood up to his sister.

"So who do you two have for home room?" Ryan asked sitting on the left of Gabriella while taking a sip of his daily Starbucks.

"Darbus." the two say and roll their eyes in union.

"I do too." Ryan says looking down.

"But Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, and Jason are gonna be in there so it won't be so bad." Troy says placing his arm back around her shoulders.

"What won't be so bad?" Jason Cross ask walking up with Kelsi Nielsen tucked under his arm with Chad Danforth and Taylor McKessie walking hand in hand next to them. The girls hugged and gave each of their guy friends a hug as the guys slapped hands in a greeting.

"Darbus's home room." Troy says while placing his arm back around his girlfriend and bringing her close to his side.

"As long you don't go and get us all detention again." Gabriella teased looking up at Troy as the seven friends made their way to the school as the twenty minutes bell rang.

"Ha! You're just hilarious." he teases back and kisses her as the friends walk though the front doors of East High on their first day of senior year.
