Home room was quiet. The first day back to school had been uneventful especially after such an eventful summer. Well to some it had been uneventful, the Wildcats however had spent the summer working for the Evans, it had been fun and exciting and full of drama. Troy and Gabriella had broken up, though they had promised to stay friends; they had kissed; lips had touched but hearts remained cold and distant at least in Troy's case, and when the kiss of the year had taken place he couldn't fake his feelings no matter how good of an actor he was. They had broken up, their friends were curious as to why, but Sharpay had been delighted. Troy hadn't questioned why he hadn't felt anything for Gabriella, maybe it was just her.

"Right class," Mrs Darbus began, and the class sat waiting for the annual start of school drama productions speech that only two of the class really paid attention to; Ryan and Sharpay Evans sat eagerly waiting for the latest musical news. "We have a new student." Sharpay looked over at her brother who looked at her and shrugged. "His name is Trevor Jones," Mrs Darbus pointed to the tall boy who had been standing at the door the whole time. None of the class had even realised he was there. The boy – Trevor had purple hair that was partially straightened at the front and messed at the back. He wore tight grey jeans and black converse trainers; his jumper was a dark purple that brought out his bright blue eyes. "He's a transfer student from New York." Mrs Darbus continued as the class took in the boy. "Right... so he'll need a guide..."

"Obviously a guide dog too considering he didn't see what he put on this morning," Sharpay muttered to her brother.

"Shar don't be rude," Ryan snapped.

"Ah Mr Evans. Trevor is in all of your classes will you be kind enough to show him around?" Sharpay stared at her brother; waiting for him to say no. Her eyes grew wider when he smiled.

"I'd be honoured." The boy Trevor seemed almost pleased and smiled.

"Well... here's your timetable boys, Ryan why don't you go and show him around now."

"He gets to miss home room?" Sharpay groaned. "Ryan needs to know about the theatre productions."

"Don't worry Shar, you can tell me all about them at lunch." Ryan smirked. "Thanks Mrs Darbus." The two boys took their timetables and walked out of the class.

"Hey Ice Princess..." Chad laughed, Sharpay turned around and glared at the big haired jock. "Why don't you want your brother hanging with the new kid?"

"You're kidding right? Ryan can't hang around with that..." Sharpay said.

"Why not?" Troy asked. How could Sharpay tell her brother who and who not to hang around with. "You don't even know him."

"Well it will hardly be good for Ryan to be seen with that." Sharpay said.

"Enough... now this years musical is..."

Ryan and Trevor walked along the corridors aimlessly, Trevor had told Ryan that the principal had already made a student give him the grand tour so instead they just headed to their first class. "So... how come you transferred?" Ryan asked curiously.

"I got kicked out of my old school," Trevor shrugged.

"How come?" Ryan asked.

"Get to know me a bit more and then maybe you'll find out," Trevor winked.

"Look forward to it," Ryan smiled. They walked to their first lesson which was English, they only had a few minutes to wait before the bell rang and students were heading to their lockers and classes.

"So that girl... she your twin?" Trevor asked as he started at Ryan. Ryan felt some what under pressure, he knew he looked good; black jeans and a simple but elegant pink shirt with matching shoes, but he wondered maybe if he looked good enough for being looked at with such concentration as Trevor was looking at him.

"Yeah," Ryan sighed.

"Seems nice." Trevor smirked causing Ryan to laugh. It wasn't as if he had anything against his sister; obviously he loved her; he had to. But still...she was hard work. Ryan didn't say anything just laughed a little. "So what do you do for fun around here?"

"I...do drama and dance." Ryan shrugged.

"Dance?" Trevor grinned suggestively. "Like...sexy dancing?"

"Maybe I'll show you and you can tell me that one." Ryan winked causing Trevor to grin.

"I'll be looking forward to it," Trevor smiled.

Troy, Chad, Kelsi, Sharpay and Jason wondered up to them. "Hey Ry..." Troy smiled.

"Hey," Ryan smiled back. "Trevor this is, Troy, Chad, Kelsi, Jason and Sharpay."

"Oh the nice one," Trevor smirked.

"Excuse me?" Sharpay asked with a raised eye brow. Trevor just winked at Ryan who blushed. "Any way Ryan... now you've done your something charitable for the year we should get planning the musical."

"What's the musical this year?" Ryan asked. When Sharpay told him, Ryan failed to listen all he could concentrate on was Trevor who was smiling at him. "Ryan pay attention to me." Sharpay pouted.

"Mm...so Ryan...maybe at break you could finish me showing around?" Trevor smiled.

"Yeah if you want," Ryan replied.

"Believe me I do." Trevor grinned.

"But Ryan!" Sharpay started. "We have a meeting with the drama club at break!"

"Well you could go and say hey for me. I mean... it's not as if the drama club will miss me." Sharpay not believing what she was hearing turned to Kelsi who was smiling an amused smile with Chad and Troy... none of them quite believing what they were seeing.

Ryan was flirting.

When they got in the class Trevor insisted on sitting next to Ryan, which caused Sharpay to pout and angrily walk over to Kelsi. "I can't believe him." Sharpay spat. Ryan was sat in the back laughing with Trevor instead of sitting in the front with her.

"He's made a friend, is that so wrong?" Troy cut in.

"Yes. Now he wont have time for me." Sharpay pouted.

"Well you should have thought about that this summer." Troy pointed out.

"Why are you sticking up for him?" Sharpay asked, just as Troy was meant to answer they were cut off when Ryan and Trevor walked down the aisle.

"Dude where are you going?" Chad laughed.

"I'm showing Trevor where the toilet is," Ryan smiled.

"Well hurry up you'll get detention." Sharpay said.

"Detention...me? Right!" Ryan laughed and walked out just as the bell rang.

They were all surprised when Ryan didn't turn up for the rest of the lesson.
