Chapter One: Accidents Everywhere
It was after school, and usually, Haylie Anderson would be going home with her theaterical boyfriend, Ryan Evans, but she wanted to test out her crazy plan first.
Haylie bent down behind the dark blue cart that held the basketballs for basketball practice, and gazed over it.
The basketball team, the Wildcats, were practicing for a game that following week, and they didn't even realize someone was about to run off with their basketballs.
Haylie grinned, and got into the cart, with ease because she was very small.
Once in it, she carefully made it move, and finally, she was out of the gym.
"Perfect." she muttered.
And what was her crazy plan?
To scare Ryan, of course.
She slowly made it move, and once she picked up speed, it was abit harder to control it, but it was going to be worth it to see the look on Ryan's face.
As she made it towards Ryan's locker, she raised her voice so she was heard.
"Hey, Ryan!"
But, she didn't get to see his reaction as she flew down the ramp, and tumbled out of the cart, and landed on her back with a thud.
"Haylie!"
Haylie looked up to see Ryan staring down at her, his face full of both concern amd mock sterness.
"Hey, Ryan. Great prank, huh?" she asked, and Ryan finally smiled, shaking his head.
"You do know that watching you is like watching a little kid, right?" he asked, as he held out his hand so she could be pulled up.
"Yeah, I know. But, admit it: you like it." Haylie taunted, and Ryan blushed.
"Um..."
"Hey!"
Suddenly, the Wildcats basketball team came, Troy Bolton leading the Cats.
"What's going on?" Troy asked, looking at the upside cart, and then at Haylie and Ryan.
"Dude, we got pranked by Haylie!" Chad Danforth annouced, glancing at the grinning blonde.
Troy shook his head, and walked over to her and Ryan.
"Why did you steal our basketballs, Haylie?" he asked her.
"Because it was fun!" Haylie stated, and everyone groaned.
"Well, don't do again, alright?" Troy asked.
"You got it!" Haylie replied, giving him a mock salute.
Troy smiled, and shook his head as he gazed at the mess she made.
"Come on, let's get this mess cleaned up before my dad sees it.."
As the team cleaned up the mess, and rolled the cart back to the gym, Haylie turned to Ryan.
"I hope they are not too mad at me."
Ryan smiled, and took her hand into his.
"Hey, it was a prank, right? They'll get over it." Ryan told her as they came out to the parking lot.
"I guess." Haylie said.
"Haylie, it was a prank. Don't get all bent out of shape about it."
As they contuined towards Ryan's car, she started to wonder about something else.
About how she always acted like such a kid, and not a normal, seventeen year old girl who happens to be a senior and was dating a really hot guy, much to her opinion.
"Ryan?" she asked, as she and Ryan got into the car.
"Hmm?" he asked.
"Do you think I act abit immature?" she asked, as she blushed.
Ryan gazed at her as he fixed the rearview mirrior.
"Haylie, your a wonderful person to be around. Being immature isn't a bad thing. It's good to be crazy every once and awhile."
"Yeah, but..."
Ryan turned to her, smiling softly.
"Out of all the girls I know, your one of the craziest. I don't think any girl could match up with you."
"Thanks--"
Suddenly, Ryan's cellphone rang, and Ryan held up a finger, and clicked "send".
"Hello?" he asked.
"Ryan! Where are you?" Sharpay Evans stated, and Haylie cringed.
"I'm still at the school. I'm going to take Haylie home." Ryan replied.
"Why are you still at the school?" Sharpay asked.
"Well--"
"You know what? Never mind. I told you to come right after school, Ryan." Sharpay said, cutting him off.
"Yes, but, I promised Haylie I'd--"
"She can drive, can't she? Your acting like her slave, Ryan!"
Haylie could hear Sharpay's words very clearly, and they stung like a bee's stinger.
"I gave her a ride to school, remember? It's only fair I bring back to her house." Ryan explained.
"Well, after you do, come straight home." Sharpay replied, and the conversation between the twins was done.
Ryan smiled at Haylie, and said, "Sorry about that."
Haylie gave him a small smile back as Ryan backed out of the school parking lot.
As they were driving back to her house, Ryan asked, "What's wrong, Haylie? Are you still thinking about that prank you pulled?"
Haylie shook her head as she gazed out the window.
"No."
"Then what?"
Haylie pulled herself away from the window to look at him.
"Am I bossing you around too much?"
She saw Ryan smile, and he sighed.
"That used to be Sharpay's job, remember? You are not bossing me around. I do these things because I like you, and your my girlfriend." Ryan replied.
"But what if Sharpay is right though?" Haylie asked, not convinced.
"Who says she was? She's just mad because she thinks you stole me away from her." Ryan stated as they came up to her house.
Haylie was about to climb out of Ryan's car before he grabbed her hand.
"Wait, don't I get something before you leave?"
Haylie finally laughed as she kissed Ryan on the cheek, and climbed out.
As she watched Ryan leave, she wondered if Sharpay was wrong after all.
