- Prologue -

People called her the Ice Princess; they just didn't realize how true that was. She couldn't believe what was happening to her. The ability to freeze anything (even fire) and the ability to control ice was something she couldn't believe was real and was happening to her, but after awhile she learned how to control it and how to deal with having those abilities.

Soon after she learned how to control her abilities, she realized how great it was to have them. She played a few amateur tricks on her classmates. She played them on mostly Gabriella Montez, such as the frozen milk and frozen sandwiches as payback for taking over the play and being Troy Bolton's girlfriend, plus a few icy floors which resulted in embarrassing situations for Gabriella and entertainment for her. She lost interest in it quickly however, so the revenge on Gabriella stopped. It was fun not having to worry about getting the warm soda in the school's cafeteria. She could just touch it and it was become a whole lot colder. It was cool, pun intended.

She kept her abilities a secret, even from Ryan. She knew he would probably understand, but she didn't want to get the feeling that he was secretly saying "freak" behind her back. He might have been her twin and only brother, but he was still human. So she kept quiet for weeks.

No one should have known about her abilities. No one. She wasn't obvious about her abilities, no one knew about them. That's what she believed until she listened to the answering machine one time after school. Thankfully she was alone in the house so she had enough time to copy the man's number before erasing the phone message like it never existed.

His mom always told him he was unique, he just didn't know just how unique he was until a fever took him. Or at least that's what his mother believed he went through.

He knew he didn't feel sick, a little hotter then usually but then it was summer. But then weirder things started to happen. Gabriella came up to his room to see how he was doing, since his mother wouldn't allow him to leave even though he swore to her he felt fine. She went to check his forehead, to see how hot it was and ended up slightly burning her hand on it! After his "fever" went away, he got worked up over a practice and another fight with his father that ended up causing his basketball to melt in his hands. He threw it away before anyone could notice it.

That was when he knew something was very different with him. He tried a few experiments to see what the heck would happen, and learned quite quickly that anger was the strongest emotion that caused fire to surround his whole body. He was careful about his emotions from then on. He tried to stay in a nice and calm state to keep his abilities in control. But he knew he would need better control of them. He just wasn't sure how to do so yet.

He kept his new found abilities a secret, even from Chad and Gabriella. He didn't want to stake his friendship with them over his abilities. He realized though, he wasn't doing such a good job at acting normal around his friends anymore though. They started asking questions, which caused him to become a little annoyed with them despite his best tries at trying to stop it. But he still kept his abilities a secret.

So he was slightly worried when he received a message on the answering machine from a man. But he was interested, curious, and hopeful… so he quickly wrote down the man's number and deleted the message so his parents wouldn't listen to it and freak.

To be continued…
