CHAPTER 1
3rd April, 2013 Sunny (how could it be?)
Something shocking between me and Gabriella happened today. She and I ran into each other at our lockers after school. She was with… Troy! Troy! Of course I didn't let go of the chance, I flashed my biggest smile at him and said, "Hi Troy, how was your day?" He replied, "Um, great. How about, er, yours?" "My day was fabulous!" I said loudly.
I didn't know why, but Troy looked somewhat annoyed. Maybe that was because he was with Gabriella. Geez. Now I will have to say hi to that girl too, I thought. I kind of faked a smile and said hi to Gabriella. She looked really surprised , ha, who wouldn't be after they got a smile and a greeting from a celebrity? Then she replied brightly, "Hi Sharpay, nice to see you!" Duh.
There, Troy looked glad again. What spell has that girl cast on him that made him love her so much? Anyway, I looked at my watch and yelled, "Oh my god! It's 5:00 already! I got to get going! Toddles!" Then I skipped away. "Goodbye!" Troy and Gabriella said after me.
Drama lesson! Acting is my luck, my fate and my fortune. Drama is my whole world! Oh, just how I wish I could just skip this high school thing and go to the Juilliard School! Then I would become a Broadway Queen right away. Then, Troy, Gabriella, Chad, that Taylor and a bunch of the others who think I'm crazy will all become my fans! Ha, ha, ha! I will go to Hollywood and film movies that will become a hit! And I will, of course, become an overnight success, get on the A-list at no time-
"Aaaaarrgghhhhh! A mouse! Aaaaarrgghhhhh!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, but the mouse ignored me. And so did my fellow East High schoolmates! How cruel the world is, one moment everyone is saying hello to you and chatting with you excitedly, and the other people are ignoring you even when you are in danger- wait! The mouse had gone, but why could I still hear the squeaks behind my back?
Oh no. I turned my back and found a person holding the mouse and smiling at me. The person was no other but Gabriella! Why did it have to be her? Now I must thank her with all my hearts for saving my precious life! Just why couldn't it be Troy? That way the job would have been easier, for a little bit.
But wait, was she still holding the mouse? Ew! I stepped back one, two- and three! I was about to fall onto the super dirty ground which was going to ruin my glamorous dress brutally and I closed my eyes, ready. That was when somebody held my back so that I could balance myself. Let it be Troy! Please, let it be him!
No! I received the biggest shock in my life (again!) when I opened my eyes. It was Gabriella (again!) I could do nothing but to thank her. However, I must admit that she is quite agile to have saved me twice in such a short time. And maybe a little bit too kind… Oh my god! I couldn't believe that I just thought that somebody is agiler and kinder than me! She could never be any better than me, ever.
