Troy's POV

I glanced from my mom to my dad. Their pasted smiles seemed to resemble Chucky's evil maniacal grin, however, I did not point that out. I slowly walked to get my keys. "Erm...I'm just gonna go to school now..." I said slowly. Dad nodded, still grinning. I walked out and shook the image of Chucky from my brain. I went and got in my truck, just to see my mom's creepy grin. Then her face turned to a confused look as to why I wasn't driving. I smiled and started the engine. I shuddered as I drove to East High.

*at school*

I pulled up to the school and parked. I got out to be greeted by a bunch of friends. Chad, Jason and Zeke. "Troy, what's up?" Chad asked. I was a bit startled so as you can guess, I jumped. "Nothing..." I stated slowly. Jason remarked, "Man, I did not know he was so easy to scare." That brought me into the reality of school. "Oh...no. I am not normally like that." I argued. Jason laughed, "Yeah right man. Catch you later."

Zeke and Jason left and Chad and I started walking in. "What's up with you, Troy?" Chad asked. I shrugged, "Nothing much. It's just that when I left my house this morning, mom and dad were all...creepy grinning." Chad raised an eyebrow, "Creepy grinning?" "Like Chucky." I added. Chad rolled his eyes but nodded, "Yeah, my mom was like that this morning too. All "Let me help you with your backpack" and "Do you need to get anything sweetie?". " I almost choked on air. "She called you sweetie?" I laughed. Chad rolled his eyes. "Yeah, something's up. Definitely." he answered.

We walked into school and I ran into my girlfriend and her best friend, Taylor, who is Chad's girlfriend. Gabriella hugged me. 'Hey Troy." she smiled. I kissed her head, "hey babe." She giggled as I wrapped my arm around her. "Troy was just telling me about how strange his parents were acting this morning. And I told him about my mom." Chad informed them. Taylor blinked, "Gabriella just told me the same thing." Gabriella nodded. "Yeah, same creepy...old...maniacal Chucky faced grin." we all stated. We then started to laugh.

We walked to our first classes. "Bye." Gabriella said as I left her side. "Bye." I said back, quickly kissing her.

*after first class*

Chad and I met up for free period. He pulled out his basketball and we headed to the gym. I was feeling very light. Easy. So far today. Then Sharpay walked to us.

"Troy! Troy!" she squealed. I muttered to Chad, "Is there a way to get her a noise ticket for her voice being so annoying?" Chad laughed but choked up as Sharpay came up. "What do you want?" I asked politely. She started, "Ms. Darbus said she wants you to be in the Musical." I blinked twice. Then I looked at Chad and we both started laughing. Sharpay looked at us, and cocked her head. "You're kidding." Chad laughed. Sharpay shook her head, and said that she actually wasn't. I looked over at Chad and slowly stopped laughing. "You...you...you're not?" we both asked. Sharpay nodded, "Correct. So take this thing..." she pointed at Chad's basketball and then plucked the basketball from my hands and threw it at Chad and pushed me towards the theatre. "...and let's go." she finished.

I looked back at Chad with worry written completely all over my face.
