Chapter One: The Project

Ryan sighed as he closed his locker.

It was just another day at school, where nothing exciting happened.

Atleast, to Ryan.

Today, in Creavite Writing And Poetry, Miss Zismar was going to choose partners, and Ryan hoped to be partners certain curly-haired second favorite jock.

"Ryan, are you coming?" asked a female voice who was slightly impatient.

Ryan winced, and turned around to see Sharpay Evans standing behind him.

Since they were twins, their parents thought it'd be cute if they were in the same classes together.

Ryan didn't think having Sharpay in all of his classes was "cute".

"Yeah." Ryan said.

Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Can you believe Miss Zismar won't let us choose our partners for this project?"

"I think it's fair." Ryan replied, half listening to what Sharpay was saying.

"Yeah, and so is Ms. Darbus' rule on cellphones. Please, Ryan." Sharpay replied.

Ryan couldn't help but smirk at Sharpay's complaining.

Sharpay was the Mountain Lion of East High. Nobody really fear her, but makes fun of her behind her back, especially the basketball team, who call her Ice Princess in addition to Mountain Lion.

Once they got to Miss Zismar's room, Sharpay and Ryan took their seats that were in the front row.

Miss Zismar was sitting at her desk, writing something on a piece of paper.

When she looked up to see Ryan and Sharpay enter, she smiled.

Ryan could say that she pretty. She has straight, brown hair that was shoulder-length, and brown eyes. Her smile was catching, and her voice was loud, but had a soft-spoken edge to it as well.

But, alot of people at East High said that she was a witch, but the only "witch" that Ryan could think of was his own sister, Sharpay.

Which she was being right now.

"Miss Zismar, can we please pick our partners?" Sharpay asked in her signature whiny voice.

"No, I'm sorry, Sharpay. The partners are already planned out." Miss Zismar told her as more students started to fill in, including Sharpay's crush and his sidekick, Troy Bolton and Chad Danforth.

Ryan took this time to survey the room.

It wasn't very dark, because of the lights that were lowly dimmed, and there were two room lights on. He guessed Miss Zismar wanted to keep it at a "peaceful environment" for the students to work in.

He finally looked straight ahead as the bell rang, and class began.

"Okay, class. What I told you on Friday was that today you'll get into pairs and you'll discuss your assignment, and there are many ways you can do these projects through creavite writing and poetry. You could do music projects, do a screen-play, write in a journal, and above all other things. But, just for today, I want you and your partner to discuss on what your going to-"

"Can you please get on with the partners already?" Sharpay growled, and Miss Zismar looked at her.

"-do." Miss Zismar finished, and quietly picked the piece of paper that was lying on her desk.

"Okay, and the partners are..."

"Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez."

Ryan saw Sharpay's scowl go in deeper as she watched Troy and Gabriella smile at each other.

"Sharpay Evans and Zeke Baylor."

Ryan almost laughed, because he saw Sharpay gave both Miss Zismar and Zeke looks were priceless.

"Taylor McKessie and-"

Ryan went pale.

Taylor McKessie was Chad's girlfriend...or, rather, not. But, he knew that Chad liked her, just never really showed it.

"-and David Johnson."

Ryan sighed in relief, knowing there'd be a chance for him to work with Chad.

Miss Zismar went down the list until she came to the last two.

"Since there are an odd balance between girls and boys, the last two pair will be boy-boy. And they are Ryan Evans and Chad Danofrth."

Ryan couldn't get the smile that was so big on his face.

But, Chad didn't look all that happy.

He raised his hand, and Miss Zismar called on him.

"Miss Zismar, I'm sorry. But, I can't work with Ryan...can't I be switched into a different group?" he asked, and Ryan's face fell.

"I'm sorry, Chad. That's how it works. No breaking the rules." Miss Zismar said.

Chad rolled his eyes, and Ryan heard Troy say,

"Dude, be nice, will you?"

"Troy, this is Ryan were talking about. The most primo guy at East High." Chad replied.

"Maybe you can give Ryan a chance." Troy stated.

Ryan saw Chad shake his head, and he knew the conversation was over.

"Okay, I want you to get with your partners, and start talking!"

As Sharpay went to go sit next to Zeke, she whispered, "I wish I could have traded you, Ryan. Chad's better than Zeke."

Ryan smirked, and saw Chad coming over, with a frown on his face.

"I can not believe this." Chad muttered as he sat down in Sharpay's vacant spot.

Ryan just smiled, and said, "Well, believe it."
