Guest used to date Colby. They'd been broken up for 2 months and he still wasn't over it. She had a new boyfriend, Ricky something, and she was completely over the breakup. The whole reason they broke up was long distance. She'd gone on a long vacation and now Guest was back in down for the winter break to see her friends. And Colby really wanted her back.

Guest was in her friend Ashlyn's bedroom for a sleepover, and she was going through all the High School Musical songs because she wanted to audition for Sharpay when they went back to school. On the first day back at school, auditions were already in place. Their drama teacher, Miss Brookes, had about 18 people auditioning. 6 for Gabriella. 7 for Troy. 2 for Chad. And 3 for Sharpay. Colby was in the crowd, watching, just because his friends begged him to. Then he saw her come on stage to audition and time just... paused. After her audition, he clapped along with everyone else, and she high-fived Ricky.
