"With HSM 2 less than 2 months away we thought we&amp;#039;d whet your whistle with an interview with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens -- and be sure to check back because we&amp;#039;re this close to posting our exclusive coverage of a very special HSM event that involves all six cast members! TEENMAG: Is there any way that Troy and Gabriella won&amp;#039;t end up together in the sequel? Vanessa: No! Zac: Really, Troy and Gabriella just got started so I definitely think they are going to end up together in the sequel.  TEENMAG: Did you two have chemistry right away? Vanessa: The second I met him I thought he was a really cool guy. It&amp;#039;s hard not to have chemistry with someone who is quite attractive. Zac: Thank you -- likewise! One thing we noticed at the callbacks was that there were 10 or so people up for both of our roles, and it was a mix-and-match session where they&amp;#039;d choose a guy and a girl and they&amp;#039;d have to do the scene together. Throughout the whole process everyone auditioned with everyone except us -- we were stuck together throughout the entire process. At the time we didn&amp;#039;t know if it was chemistry or if they didn&amp;#039;t like us or what was going on.  TEENMAG: Did you go back and watch any old romantic comedies for these roles? Vanessa: Kenny did have us go back and watch some movies, now that I think about it. Zac: He had us watch Romeo and Juliet!  TEENMAG: How do you react to all of the rumors that you&amp;#039;re dating in real life? Vanessa: It&amp;#039;s funny! We&amp;#039;re such good friends, so to say that we&amp;#039;re dating -- I don&amp;#039;t know. Rumors are rumors! Zac: It&amp;#039;s funny -- they can say what they want. The same thing is said about me and Ashley and Vanessa and God knows who else. It&amp;#039;s just funny that people are interested, and it goes back to the popularity of the movie.  TEENMAG: What&amp;#039;s the craziest rumor you&amp;#039;ve ever heard about yourselves? Zac: I heard a rumor that I was dead. I&amp;#039;m serious. Someone called me and they were like, &amp;quot;Oh, dude, you&amp;#039;re alive!&amp;quot; Apparently it got out online that Zac Efron was dead.  TEENMAG: Yikes! That&amp;#039;s got to be weird! How do you stay grounded? Vanessa: Even though the movie really has blown up...it doesn&amp;#039;t sink in, being in London and going to Australia and going to all of these places. We&amp;#039;re the same people and doing what we love doing, so there&amp;#039;s no need to get a big ego from it or anything. Zac: The only thing that separates us from anyone else with this movie is one single audition. I could have dropped the basketball in my audition, I could have messed up on a line, or not been paired up with Vanessa during the audition. All of us recognize that we&amp;#039;re extremely lucky to be here. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
