Work Hard for the Money

The East High Wildcats have two things on their minds for the summer vacation: Sports, and money! The team decides to find summer jobs to earn some extra money to do what they love to do, play sports!

Spoiled Brat

Sharpay and Evan, on the other hand, have no desire to work during the summer; they just want to soak in the sun, and relax at their parents' country club called 'Lava Springs.'

Love Birds

After going through tons of obstacles to star in their high school musical last year, Troy and Gabriella realized that nothing can get in the way of their relationship. As they plan their entire summer together, little do they know that Troy's summer job at 'Lava Springs' is an evil plan made by Sharpay to break the two love birds apart.

Lean On Me

Troy helps Gabriella find a summer job as a lifeguard at 'Lava Springs,' so the two can be closer together, and to make it even more romantic, Kelsi writes a duet for them to sing at the country club's Midsummer Night's Talent Show.

We're All In This Together

Being the good friend, and teammate that Troy is, he finds Taylor, Kelsi, Chad and the rest of the Wildcats team jobs at the country club, too! This is the beginning of the best summer of these friends' lives ... Or is it?

Boppin' to the Top ... Again!

When Sharpay finds out that Kelsi has written a song for Troy and Gabriella, she gets flashbacks to how humiliated she was at the high school musical, and decides that this summer she will outperform the couple, and finally upstage them.

Work This Out

Gabriella, Taylor and Chad have to keep their head in the game while trying to figure out what Sharpay is up to next. When they find out Sharpay set Troy up with her for the talent show, they are not happy, and try to seek revenge.

Can't Take My Eyes Off of You

Sharpay is so eager to steal Troy away from Gabriella that she pushes him on stage to perform with her at the talent show, which does not 'bop to the top' as planned.

Breaking Free in the Sun!

'High School Musical 2' is coming full force to a television near you on August 17, and only then will we find out if Troy and Gabriella are able to remain a couple under all of the pressure and drama of the summer heat.
