Empty Bottles and a Table Full of Milk
How is it that with a matter of just a little sunshine, you can brighten somebody's day? I always feel better that way; it makes me want to smile and sing, however bad I might be. And then there is rain, now that makes me feel sad and alone. It is almost like crying. That is it, God's way of crying. That is what I believe. Everybody's life is a constant weather change. A lot like mine really, when the sun seems to come out, something sets off the water works again or the anger in the wind. Well that was what my life felt like until an unusual June. A June that is mysterious and magical in ways that you wouldn't believe unless you were there in person.
A rush of relief took over my system on the 31st May, 3:45pm. The signal for the end of 6th period or in other words the end of the day filled the room. However, for me it was different. For me, this would be the last time I have to set foot in this hell forsaken school. This was a school that I detested with a large amount of passion. In this school the weather never changes it is forever on downpour, no off button when you feel like a break even on a sunny day. Thankfully my new school had that all important off switch.
Moving Day:
"Ok so be careful honey, Ryan and your Father are waiting on the other end of the flight, ring me if there are any problems." She worries too much that's her problem I thought.
"Yes Mom I'll be fine" I hugged her tight one last time and picked up my suitcase.
"And when am I coming over?" As if I could forget, for the past two weeks, all my mother has gone on about is, when we are moving, where we are moving and the process we are doing it in. Who knew that a 10 hour flight could be so complicated?
"On Saturday" I moaned
"Good girl" She kissed my forehead like she used to when I was a little girl and we parted until Saturday.
My Father and Ryan had flown out to Albuquerque a week before I had to set up our house and furniture, along with the business and tax system. Then I would follow the next coming Wednesday to start my new school with my twin Ryan on the Thursday. And shortly following on the Saturday our very organised Mother will come with the last remaining items of our childhood home and that is that, a new home, school, everything.
"OMGosh Gabby I am so excited to go back to East High!!" The dark girl squealed in excitement. I was rather bothered about how loud they were being and inconsiderate of other people's comfort, but I thought I may as well listen in as it was the most entertaining thing available on the flight.
The more olive skinned girl giggled at her friend's statement. "Taylor, we have been gone 5 days, what has there been to miss?"
"Urgh, absolutely nothing, but I heard there is a new girl and boy coming tomorrow and they're twins!" From what I gathered at the time, her name was Taylor, and then I realised that the twins she was gabbering on about was me and Ryan.
"OOOO I hope the guy is hot, it's about we got something better than Troy Bolton and Chad Danforth." Gabby, I think continued. Ewww, Ryan and hot are not made for the same sentence.
"Hey! What's wrong with Chad?" She scowled at her friend and then laughed, "Yes I suppose you are right, I think they are the Evans twins, children of Vance Evans.
"Whoa! You mean the rich guy that just bought Lava Springs?" Gabby Gasped, however I thought it was rather entertaining listening to a gossip about my own arrival at East High.
"Yes, that's the one!" Taylor and Gabby felt rather satisfied with themselves at the discovery of who I was and how rich my family was, so I thought I would introduce myself.
I leant over the aisle and began. "Excuse me?" Both girls turned on me, "How is it that you know my family so well?" That got them; both of them went red in the face and sank into their chairs.
"Oh I am sorry, I didn't realise we were talking about your family, it's just news gets around fast when you live in a small town like Albuquerque" Gabby tried her hardest to explain; she seemed very sweet and by the looks smart.
"Don't worry about it" I smiled, letting them know I don't bite. "I am Sharpay Evans" I held out my hand and they both shook, rather scared I think of what I was going to do next.
"Gabriella Montez, but you can call me Gabby" she smiled and I nodded returning the smile.
"And I'm Taylor McKessie, again I am sorry for talking about your family"
"Really, it's fine but don't worry we aren't the snobby kind, we just like to be normal like everyone else, and money is just an advantage along the way.
"Well I'm glad because we already have all the 'Princesses' we need at our school" Taylor laughed "Trust me they are the bitches of our school"
Gabby and Taylor continued to fill me in on the schools gossip as the flight went on. I learned all the clicks, couples and freaks. Taylor and Gabby were popular but not bitches, however they did like to do a lot of bitching itself. I also learned that they were smart and into musicals, a bit like myself really, I just hide that behind my gold locks. By the end of the flight I promised to pick them up the following morning as we would carpool for school the next day.
"Hey Daddy, hey Ryan!" I hugged them both tightly as soon as I saw them. We are a close family and we don't care who knows it.
"Hey sweetie, how was your flight?" Vance Evans, Local business man and ex-mayor but most importantly, devoted Father and Husband.
"Great! I met a couple of girls in my class for tomorrow, apparently I should fit in just right" I beamed, it was about time as I was just about sick of the leaches and liars that my old school bared.
"Are they hot?" Ryan whispered in my ear.
"Shut up! Freak" I hit his arm when we finished the hug.
"Hey! You can't blame a guy for asking!"
"Ah I have missed you Ryan" I smiled as I headed out the airport, one arm around Ryan and Dad wheeling my case, just after I waved goodbye to Gabby and Taylor.
Day One:
On my way to pick you guys up - Much Love, Sharpay x
I hit the send button, and said by to my Father before stepping into my new vehicle. I sold my convertible back in Boston to get my new dream car. A Pink Mini Cooper, very Sharpay Evans I thought.
With Taylor and Gabby showing me around school, I felt comfortable until 5th period where neither of us had a class together, but then I thought I am Sharpay Evans I can do anything I then said out loud "Ye Right!"
English was my favourite subject in Boston, so it wasn't my ability I was questioning but my social skills. I headed straight for the teacher when I entered and kept my head down.
"And you might be?" The old man kept reading his book motionless.
"Sharpay Evans, Sir"
His expression changed, it was as if I was a celebrity in that town, my Dad must know some people, I thought. "Oh Yes, of course" He smiled "Please take your seat next to Mr Danforth there" he directed me as I wondered off.
Most guys in the class turned their heads and watched my skirt sway from side to side; I sat down in my seat and got the 'nod' from most guys and the evils from the girls. "Perverts" I said under my breath. A smirk from the boy slouched in his seat followed.
"Excuse me?" I turned my head to acknowledge his existence.
"Oh I am sorry, are you talking to me?" he suddenly sat up right and pointed to himself. Being sarcastic if I may say
"Well yes if you are the goofball laughing at me" Oh yes, I bite back boy!
"This 'goofball' has a name might I add"
"Wow well done so do most idiots" he sank back down to his original position obviously not in a good mood. "Why were you laughing anyway, not that it is any of your business of my opinions?"
"It is shocking the amount of attention a Barbie doll receives on her first day into the real world that's all"
"And who are you to say that I am a Barbie doll? You don't even know me" A frown grew on my forehead leaving me very agitated by the 'Mr Danforth' sat next to me.
"Leave her alone, Chad, don't take basket ball out on her" a voice from the next row spoke up, I turned round to a handsome boy sat in his seat scribbling on paper. He looked up and smiled. I turned around and blushed after returning his gorgeous smile.
"Shut Up Troy! Just because we can't all be perfect like you" Chad scowled in his seat.
"Hey, I'm not perfect either but if I'm going to lead this team to championships, I need my main wingman, right?"
His mood seemed to lighten after his praise. "Oh ye and don't you forget it!" He smiled and high fived his captain.
His clear blue eyes stayed in my mind for the rest of the class and I was still blushing, typical Sharpay.
After class I was waiting for Taylor and Gabby at reception, passing time by checking the activities board a familiar voice was calling me. Ryan.
"Hey Sis, how was your first day?" he smiled and put his strong arm around my shoulder.
"Pretty good, how was yours kiddo?" I smirked knowing he hated that nick-name.
Ryan rolled his eyes at me and responded. "Awesome, I have drama class to get to, talk to you later" He walked off into the mixture of crowds.
And it was then I noticed, my secret 'hero' walking towards me.
"Hey there, are you settling in ok?" He looked so very dreamy in his jumper, jeans and sneakers.
"Yeah, I'm doing ok, that afro kid is a freak though" We laughed "Thank you for sticking up for me earlier"
"No problem, he can be a bit of an ass sometimes, he's just stressed over basketball, can't make his baskets"
Embarrassing myself completely! "Sorry I have no idea what a basket it is" giggling goofily I continued "Drama and musicals is more my area"
"Ah yes, I've heard of your love of singing from your brother Ryan" he grinned cheekily as I blushed.
"Oh brilliant, I am sorry I still don't know your name?"
"Troy, Troy Bolton, Captain of the Wildcats" a rather cocky smile wiped on his face.
"I'm Sharpay Evans, the best person you will ever meet" I winked at him casually and walked over to Taylor and Gabby.
