This is my first story, so critisicm is welcome, as long as it's constructve. I want to improve on my writing :)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own HSM in any way.

She's the one, thought Ryan Evans as he first set sight on a petite, brunette girl eating her lunch alone. Not quite alone, he noted. Surrounded by plenty of people from the Drama department, but instead of conversing with the rest of the people, she seemed to have opted to eat her lunch with her head facing towards her lap. Oh, wait scratch that, she was scribbling furiously on her lap. What could she possibly be doing? Was she an actress? Director? Stage design?

He nudged his sister gently with his elbow- gently being the operative word yet still resulting in him getting screamed at by Sharpay. "RYAN! What's wrong with you?! Don't you know never to jab someone when they are planning their domination over East High?"

"First of all, I didn't jab you! I nudged you, lightly. I was just wondering if you knew who that girl is." he said, turning around and pointing at the unknown brunette. The brunette looked up, and Ryan was sure now, she was the one. Her eyes, they were huge, blue and filled with confusion. Her face had pretty, dainty features and her cheeks were apple red, she was blushing. Then, he realised he was still pointing at her. He gave her a meek wave and put his hand down, hoping he wasn't looking as heated as he felt.

Really, Ryan? A wave? She probably thinks I'm a stupid little boy with a disfuctioning brain.

Before he turned around, he caught the girl raising one of her eyebrows looking quizzically at him as she raised her hand up slightly to return the wave, still blushing hard,

"Was that a wave, Ryan?"

Oh. I forgot that people were actually watching. People being my sister, my sister and surprise, my sister- she can seriously be split in to three people, she certainly had more than enough personality. Oh and yes, my dear sister, that was a wave.

"You like her." Sharpay said those three words as if they were the simplest words of Earth.

"No. I don't." said Ryan, trying to deny it but alas, his sister knew him too well.

"Alright then, I guess it would be of no interest whatsoever if I told you her name and her role in this school? Oh, and the fact that she's transferring to our homeroom?" said Sharpay, slyly.

Oh? She's transferring to our homeroom? That's nice. For me anyways.

"Nope." said Ryan, being stubborn.

"Alright." said Sharpay, waiting.

"Okay, fine, tell me."

"Alright, her name is Kelsi Nielson. She plays the piano and is quite good. She also composes and she conducts too. She's is in charge of music for all the musicals, she's one of Ms Darbus's favourite students, other than me... I mean us, of course.

Ah. A musician and a cute, talented one at that. Kelsi. The composer and the choreographer.

"Sharpay? How do you know all of this?" he asked, wondering how his sister knew so much about random people in school.

"Did you forget our plan? To dominate the school? It is vital to know each and every member of the student body in order to take over!" she said, with a huff. "And I don't even know why you're so caught up on her. Isn't she a bit... mousy for you?

Mousy? Yeah, Kelsi looked a bit like a mouse. A very adorable, cute mouse. Wearing a hat that matched mine.

"Mousy? Really? Oh, and how come I've never seen her before?"

"We've been here only for a week or two, Kelsi took a week off school because she had the flu. Plus, the fact that she's just 5"1 doesn't exactly help."

"Do you think I should talk to her?"

"Slow down. Did I forget to mention that she's in a relationship with Jason Cross? But they're on the verge of breaking up. You can be her rebound guy."

Oh. A relationship. A rebound? Absolutely not.

"Oh. Well, I can still be her friend right?" he asked, disappointed.

"Well. Yes, but I don't see why you'd want to. You need to focus on our plan? Remember? Ruling East High?

"Hmm? Yeah, yeah." mumbled Ryan, his thoughts far away and wandering towards Kelsi.

not exactly very good.

So... that was basically just a prologue, to introduce the situation.

Did you like that? Review... and tell me what to improve on, it IS my first story.
