A/N: Ah, yes. A High School Musical fanfic. My first fanfic. And note to others...I haven't read any fics of HSM yet so I guess there'll be little OOC.
'Jeeze.'
A dirty blonde haired teen leaned his back against his chair and listened to his dull teacher talk about this 'World War' story. He was bored. Nothing is more boring than history. (I really hate that subject. I'm not so good with it.) His face lightened up when he heard the bell ring sharply. Students were packing up their stuffs for the end of the day. He gave a loud sigh he got up and grabbed his bag ready to be with her 'Ice Princess' and sister, Sharpay Evans.
"Ryan!" She called as he was walking down the hallway. The boy named, Ryan stopped and rolled his eyes. This was too annoying for him but he didn't show it to her sister.
"Hey, Ry." Sharpay greeted while smiling cheerfully on him. Ryan looked at her sister forcing a fake smile.
"Hi." She grinned and walked ahead to the exit as she shoved her stuffs telling him to hold it. He once again sighed and followed her outside the school. Thank god, this'll be over soon! He just needs to hang on for a couple of minutes and he could lie down on his comfy bed and visit 'Dream Land' for a while.
As for the other students who are still stuck inside Ms. Darbus' class, it was like hell for a blonde guy and a curly haired girl. They were sitting inside the teacher's classroom explaining everything they needed to do. The young blonde teen closed his eyes and opened them again as if he was trying to say this is just an illusion. The raven haired girl stared blankly at the air with her mouth opened as if she was daydreaming and yes, she was daydreaming. Their two friends who are waiting outside the room sat on the cold floor of the deserted hallway talking about something to talk about.
"So when you go up on stage…"
"Yes, Ms. Darbus. I know. We know. You've told us that for…How many times?" He asked looking at the girl next beside her. She shrugged saying,
"I don't know. I lost count." She replied and smiled.
"16 000th times." Replied the young lad popping his head out on the door's frame.
"Exactly. So…let's get on with the practice." Ms. Darbus paused for a while and nod her head.
"Right. Okay. Kelsi!" She yelled. A girl with eye glasses hurriedly rushed to the teacher.
"Yes?" she asked a little bit scared and shy.
"Get them ready. I'll meet you two inside the school theater." And she headed off. As she was gone, Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez sighed in relief.
"Man, that was like hell!" said Chad is he got up and walked to Gabriella and Troy.
"It's even worse than hell." Taylor added up. The three of them just nodded in agreement.
"Well, we better get going." Said Kelsi as she walked them all outside the hallway locking the door behind them and proceeding to the theater where Ms. Darbus is. As they walked silently down the, now dim hallway, nothing but their footsteps echoing through the walls they just heard something. Someone… was like banging the school's door. But when they turned their heads to the entrance…there was no one there and the banging stopped. They slowly began to walk again.
"Okay...that was kinda creepy." Said Taylor shakily as she held onto Chad's arm squeezing it with force making him jump in pain.
"Ow. You're squeezing my hand." He said. She let go and held his hand much lighter. But when Gabriella sneezed, Taylor jumped up and forgot about Chad's aching hand.
"Ow! Crushing bones, Taylor!" He yelled in pain. But she kept on screaming.
"Taylor! Taylor, calm down!" yelled Gabriella calming her screaming friend down. She stopped screaming
"S-sorry." She apologized. As for Troy who was shock of her screaming, took his finger out of his ear.
"I'm glad I'm walking next beside you! Now I won't hear Ms. Darbus' explanations anymore! Thank you, Taylor!" Troy said jokingly. Taylor shot a death glare on him and he stopped, darting his gaze forward.
"Ugh! It's Friday. Why do we have to rehearse today? I still have tons of home works to do." Complained Gabriella.
"You're not the only one who's stuck with home works." Replied Kelsi. They froze. The weird banging sound is getting louder and louder and it looks like that it's approaching them with footsteps and loud creaking noises.
"Run for it?" asked Chad.
"Yeah." Kelsi replied. They held each others hands for a while and screamed running as fast as they can.
While inside the School Theater Ms. Darbus is humming a tuneless song while arranging papers. As she clasped her hands together she heard screaming voices that caught her attention.
"Ms. Darbus!" yelled Taylor running to the blonde teacher.
"We saw a ghost!" Chad followed.
"Saw? A ghost? What are you kids talking about?" asked Ms. Darbus. A total and complete confusion painted on her face.
"Well, not actually saw but…heard." Gabriella said breathing heavily.
"Yeah. Heard banging noises." Added Kelsi. The teacher merely nodded her head.
"Oh, right. That's Mac." And she turned away getting back with the papers.
"Who the hell's Mac?" asked Chad.
"Watch your language, Mr. Danforth!" scolded Ms. Darbus and Chad muttered an apology.
"Anyway…Mac's the janitor." She explained. Everybody fell silent. It was not long enough when troy broke it.
"Janitor? Why would the janitor make weird banging noises?" asked the teen confusingly.
"Either that or his beating out the lockers." Chad said jokingly.
"Right. Now let's get to work shall we?" Ms. Darbus said changing the subject. Gabriella and Troy nodded and walked up the stage along with Kelsi and the blond teacher. The two teen gave a loud sigh and sat down on the nearest seat they could find.
"Ryan!" She screamed. The annoyed and red-faced Sharpay chased his laughing brother with a pink book on his hand around the dining room, through the wide living room, to the hallways and back to the dining room again and going back to the living room and it kept going on and on like a cycle.
"Ryan, give those back!" She yelled still running around the dining table. Their mother sighed while their father tried to enjoy his dinner as if nothing was happening. But Mrs. Evans could see a vein twitching on his left forehead.
"Ryan! Mom, Ry won't give my diary back!" She said stomping her right foot on the floor. When her blonde sister wasn't looking, the dirty blonde haired boy opened the first page of the diary. He kept flipping the pages of the small notebook until he found something that caught his attention. His smiled widened and widened in interest until it turned into a wide, wide grin. (Kind of like Luffy's grin on the anime One Piece.)
"Mom, dad! You gotta have to see this!" Ryan said excitedly showing the notes ignoring her yelling sister.
"Ryan! Don't you even dare!" When his brother didn't reply, she lost control. She angrily ran quickly to his brother lunging at him before approaching their parents. Ryan stumbled down the hard floor. However, the annoyed Sharpay sat on top of his stomach and tried to snatch the small book on his hands.
"Give that back!" she yelled with an angry tone.
"No!" Ryan replied. "Now can you get off me? You're really heavy." He said. Sharpay yelled in frustration and held one of his arms.
"Give it!"
"No!"
"Give it!"
"No!"
"Give it!"
"No!"
"Will you two try to keep it down?!" Mrs. Evans yelled angrily slamming her hands on the table whilst standing up. The two felt silent but still on their positions panting heavily and exchanging death glares to each other. Their mom walked to the two twins and snatched the diary away from Ryan's hand.
"Now. I don't want you two to be fighting. You two are already grown ups! Now will you two act like grown ups?" She said. Both of them just nodded and helped their selves up. Their mother gave Sharpay's diary and she started to walk away. The blonde girl looked behind her shoulder and stick out her tongue making Ryan gasp.
"Mom, Shar's sticking out her tongue at me!"
"Oh my god!" Their mother blurted out. She laid her head on the table and Mr. Evans didn't even care. He was just there sitting and drinking coffee while his eyes are closed.
"Oh my god!" Kelsi blurted out. She laid her head down the piano and Troy hit his head on the wall repeatedly. Gabriella sat crossing her legs while jiggling her foot. As for Chad, he fell asleep on Taylor's shoulder, snoring if I might add. Taylor, on the other hand stared in complete space.
The composer of the song lazily looked up at Troy and Gabriella. The basketball player stopped and the curly haired genius girl stood up.
"I guess Ms. Darbus wants us to suffer, huh?" He walked over to Gabriella and took the paper she was reading a minute ago.
"Why did we even audition in the first place?" Gabriella said looking at Troy who was keeping his eyes on the white sheet of paper.
"I don't know." He just replied shrugging it.
"Okay, guys. It's already seven o'clock and we still have a lot of things to do." Kelsi said arranging the papers in front of her while placing her fingers on the piano. Troy and Gabriella sighed forcing their bodies to work with them.
"From the beginning of 'Breaking Free', Troy." Kelsi said. Troy cleared his throat and started to sing.
Troy:
We're soaring, flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
Troy's voice was dried out. He sounded like thousands of needles are inside his throat. As for Gabriella…
Gabriella:
If we're trying
So we're breaking free
Her voice was completely gone from singing the assigned songs repeatedly.
"Alright, we can't do this Kels! My throat hurts!" whined Troy rubbing his throat.
"And I barely have a voice left!" added Gabriella.
"I understand you guys. My fingers hurt, too but Ms. Darbus would kill me if she were to find out that we skipped practice." Explained Kelsi sadly.
"Guys, we have to get going before Chad drools on my shoulder again." Said Taylor from the back where he pushes a sleepy Chad off her shoulder and wiped her wet skin in total disgust.
"Good luck!" and they took off.
Troy and Gabriella brought their heads back to Kelsi.
"And in…" started Gabriella.
"Five. Four. Three. Two. One." Troy and Kelsi continued. After saying the word 'one' Taylor's screaming could be heard and Chad's scream? Well let's just say that his bones were completely crushed and you already know how that feels. I guess the sleepy Chad is finally up thanks for Taylor.
"Okay, cut! That's a wrap!" The director of the High School Musical yelled clapping his head. The stars of High School Musical wiped the sweat of their foreheads and faces as they walked to the director, Kenny Ortega. He adjusted his glasses and smiled at the raven and brown haired teen. (I know, Troy's hair is black but I still want his shaggy brown hair back! But black is alright.)
"That was very good work guys. Now go take a shower and we'll see you tomorrow." Said Kenny patting the young boy's back. The raven haired teen gave a small laugh and continued their way to their respective hotels.
"You know, Ash?" The man with the dirty blonde hair crossed his arms and walked slowly out with a blonde teen beside her. She looked at him fully.
"Yeah?" she started.
He was about to reply when the young girl tripped on something and ended up landing on top of her friend, Lucas Grabeel. He gave a loud and painful grunt, however, the blonde teen squealed in pain as her hand met with a sharp object making it bleed. She sat up quickly and looked at the cut. Lucas sat up and grabbed her palm looking at it. As for Ashley who was too disgusted to look at it, she turned her head in the other direction.
"Is it…well…infected?" she asked.
"No. But we need to stop the bleeding and cover it up with something." He replied examining her wound. He let go and reached out for his pocket still kneeling down. Lucas was holding a small tin of medicine.
"Why are you keeping a medicine inside your pocket?" asked the confused girl who was now looking at Lucas.
"You know, just in case…things like this happen." He said squeezing a small amount of medicine against a white and clean cotton. Lucas grabbed his friend's hand and dabbed the cotton gently against her wound. The young actress gasped at the cold and the pain.
"Don't worry. I'm almost done." He replied noticing his friend's bitter look.
"Now. I just remembered there's a bandage inside my pocket." He said which made the golden haired girl slowly look at the brown and blonde haired Lucas in surprise who was now searching his pocket and pulling out a bandage.
"Seriously, Luc. Is your pocket a first aid kit?" She asked jokingly. Lucas ignored her question and wrapped the bandage around her wounded hand.
"There, all done." The young man stood up and offered his hand to his friend. She took his hand and brushed the dirt and dust off her dark blue jeans.
"Thanks." She thanked him. He smiled and grabbed his friend's pink and glittery bag, I mean bags, making their way out to the hotel. This is the first day of the HSM cast.
A/N: Hehe. What a weird way to end it, huh? There are still a lot of crazy moments to come! Alright! Good night everybody!
