Welcome to my first chapter of my first fanfic ;) I'm excited! *jumps up & down* :D Okay so, if you noticed, I didn't put down any main characters. I didn't know which ones to put, since there are three, but you're only allowed to have two. (Darn Fanfiction, for not letting me put three main characters!) So yeah, the main characters are Troy, Gabriella & Sharpay. I'm not sure, if any other characters will be in the story much. But I'll try my best to fit them in :)

Disclaimer: No, I don't own High School Musical. If I did, I would be using Corbin Bleu's hair as a pillow every night ;D

Troy parked his truck in a diner's parking lot. He was supposed to be meeting his mom at Barnes & Noble soon. Right now, he was trying to kill time, until then.

He got out of the car and headed towards the diner. When he got inside, he went up to the counter and ordered a root beer.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a pretty brunette girl, looking at him. She shyly smiled at him, when she realized she had been caught.

Troy, still a bit confused as to why this girl was staring at him, smiled back.

The girl's smile widened as she saw his smile. Eeep! He's cute!, she thought to herself. She got up from where she was sitting and walked over to where Troy was. His attention was now turned to his soda, which had just been placed in front of him, but she was about to change that.

"Hi! I'm Gabriella.", she squealed as soon as she got right behind Troy.

Troy, startled by her outburst, spilled his soda. "Damn it.", he cursed the root beer, that was now all over the floor.

Gabriella eyes widened at the spilled soda, then grabbed as many napkins as she could & started cleaning like mad. All the while, muttering "I'm sorry" over and over to Troy, who just stood there watching her wipe up the floor.

When Gabriella finished, she threw away all the napkins. Then she turned to Troy, and once again, said, "I'm sorry."

"It's all right. I wasn't that thirsty," Troy said with a goofy smile.

Gabriella giggled. "Well, I'm still sorry."

"Gosh. You have to stop apologizing!" Troy laughed.

"Oh. I'm sor–". Troy gave her a look, and she stopped herself. "Okay, so maybe, I'm not sorry."

Troy nodded. "You learn quickly".

Gabriella nodded as well, "Yup". After a brief silence, that seemed to last forever in Gabriella's mind, Troy spoke

"Well, I don't think I've probably introduced myself. I'm Troy." he said, holding out his hand.

Gabriella shook his hand, "Gabriella." She smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, I know. You kinda mentioned that, you know, before the whole root beer thing.." Troy said, while nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh. Right.", Gabriella had tried to block that out. "I'm still so–".

"Sorry?", Troy interrupted her and finished her sentence. "Yeah, I know. You've said that, at least, a trillion times."

"A trillion and one, I think.", she said with a giggle.

Troy laughed and looked at his watch. "Oh shit.", he whispered to himself.

Gabriella's smile faded, "What's wrong?".

"I have to be somewhere.." Troy replied. Gabriella nodded, sadly. Then he continued, "Can I see your phone?".

Gabriella seemed a bit confused by his question, but still she reached in her pocket & pulled out her phone. "Here," she said, handing him her phone.

Troy took her phone and started putting his number in, but not before handing Gabriella his phone.

Gabriella stared at his phone, which was now in her hand. Is this his way of saying he wants my number?, she wondered. She looked up at Troy, who was currently taking a picture of himself, with her cell phone. She looked back down at his phone, quickly typed in her number & saving it under 'Gabriella'.

Gah! That was terrible, wasn't it? Especially, the ending. It was just so blah. :/ Anyway, I still want reviews :) Even if it is, just telling me what a terrible writer I am.

Oh, and by the way, this chapter is just a prologue. Troy and Gabriella just met, so they're obviously aren't best friends yet. After this, I'll just skip to when they are best friends already. Well, actually, the next chapter I post will still be part of the prologue. If you remember, I mentioned in the summary that Troy has two best friends. So, can anyone guess what happens in the next chapter?! Well, it's pretty obvious, but I'm gonna give a hint: it starts with letter S & rhymes with…Bar Pay..? Yeah, I have no idea what bar pay is, I just made it up. LOL :)

And sorry, about any grammatical or punctuation errors :]
