new story

It was a new school year. Ryan and Sharpay Evans senior year at East High School to be exact.. They were all sitting in Ms. Darbus's class, their homeroom class, talking among themselves. In their homeroom, there was Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez, Taylor McKessie, Chad Danforth, Jason Cross, Zeke Baylor, and Kelsi Nielson. They were talking when Ms. Darbus walked to the front of the room.

"Everyone, welcome to your senior year here at East High."

Cheers erupted throughout the classroom.

"Ahem." Ms. Darbus said, trying to regain order in her class. The class instantly got quiet.

"I hope you enjoy it. As you know, the extra curricular sign-up sheets are posted all around the school."

Just then, a new student walked in the classroom. She was average height, with auburn-colored hair and brown eyes.

"Yes, can I help you?" Ms. Darbus said to the new student.

"Um, my name is Natalie Summers, and I'm new here. Is this Ms. Darbus's room?"

"Yes, this is, welcome to East High. Um, let's see, you can sit behind Ryan Evans."

Natalie gave Ms. Darbus a confused, since she didn't know who Ryan was.

Ms. Darbus realized this.

"Oh, Ryan please raise your hand."

Ryan raised his hand and Natalie went and sat behind him.

"Hi, I'm Ryan."

"Hi, Natalie."

"So, where did you transfer from?"

"Memphis."

"Cool."

Just then, the bell rang. Everyone went on their way to their next class. Ryan caught up with Sharpay in the hall.

"Hey Ryan. Welcoming the new girl?"

"Yeah, she seemed really cool. And she's kinda cute." Sharpay gave him a weird look and Ryan's eyes got big.

"Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes. Ooh, Ryan's got a crush." Sharpay said in a sing-song voice.

"Oh, shut up."

Ryan and Sharpay walked in the auditorium and sat down. Ryan noticed Natalie walk in. Ryan waved her over so she could sit with them.

"Hey." Ryan greeted Natalie as she sat next to him.

"Hey." She said while looking at the blonde girl sitting next to him. She hadn't met Sharpay yet. Natalie thought it was probably his girlfriend.

"Oh, this is Sharpay." He had noticed her looking at Sharpay.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." Natalie said to Sharpay.

"You too. I'm Ryan's twin." Sharpay replied. Secretly, Natalie was glad it wasn't his girlfriend. She secretly had a crush on Ryan . (Secretly, of course.)

"So, do you like drama?" Sharpay asked.

"Well, I did some small parts in some musicals at my old school, but, nothing big."

"Cool, well, if you need help with anything, we'll be glad to help."

"Yeah, you've just made two new friends."

"Thanks, it's really hard being the new kid."

"Yeah, we were the new kids here in ninth grade." Ryan told her.

The bell rang and Ms. Darbus walked on stage.

"OK, students, to start off the new year, we will begin with a project. You will work in groups of three, but I will pick the groups. Let's see, the groups are Ryan, Sharpay, and Natalie, Troy, Gabriella, and Kelsi, Taylor, Chad, and Jason…"

"Cool! You're in our group!" Sharpay cheered.

"Yeah, that's awesome!" Ryan added.

"Yeah, I can't wait!"

The truth was, Natalie and Ryan were both really excited. They both had crushes, but neither one would admit it.

The day continued on like any normal first day of school. Natalie was in all of Ryan and Sharpay's classes. She was very glad, because she at least had someone to talk to. Now, it was lunch time.

"Hey, you wanna sit with us?" Ryan asked Natalie.

"Sure. I don't have anyone to sit with."

"Great! Follow us."

Ryan and Sharpay had become great friends with Natalie, and it was only half way through the day. They walked over to the table where the rest of the gang" was.

"Hey guys!" Sharpay said as she sat next to Gabriella. Ryan sat next to Sharpay, and Natalie sat next to him.

"Hey guys." Gabriella said.

"Hey. You all remember Natalie from homeroom right?" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah, I'm Troy by the way.' Troy said.

"Yeah, I'm Gabriella, but you can call me Gabi, and this is Taylor, Chad, Jason, and Kelsi."

"Hi. Nice to meet you guys."

"So, do you all want to hang out at my house tonight?" Troy asked.

A bunch of 'yeahs' and 'sures' were heard from the table.

"Natalie, you're welcome to come too."

"OK, Thanks."

"So, everyone come over at 6:30 or so?"

"OK."

The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, and everyone went to their next class.

After school…

Ryan noticed Natalie walking by herself. He told Sharpay he would just walk home. He ran to catch up with Natalie.

"Hey." Natalie turned around, startled.

"Oh. Hey."

"Are you walking by yourself?"

"Yeah."

"Well, not anymore. Mind if I join you?"

"No, not at all." Ryan held out his arm, to link arms with her. They walked towards Natalie's house.

"OK, here's my house. Thanks for walking with me."

"It was no problem. You looked lonely. I didn't want you to walk alone."

"Thanks."

"Well, I guess I'll see you at Troy's house tonight?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

"Do you, ya know, maybe wanna walk with me there?"

"Yeah, sure. I don't know where his house is, so yeah."

"OK. So, I'll see you at 6:15 of so?"

"Yeah, see ya then." She walked inside her house and Ryan walked towards his house. They both had huge smiles on their faces.
