SEQUEL TIME!!
Yes, this is the sequel to "Their Real Summer Has Just Begun!" I'm so excited! This one is ALL about senior year, and Patricia's freshman year at East High. Sounds interesting, right? Lol
And quick poll: Do you want me to do a day-to-day story (of course, it's not going to be a SUPER long story if you guys want that) or do you want just some events throughout the school year and stuff? I'm leaning towards some events throughout the school year.
So, yeah, that's really it for this author's note…but I do have to say that I'm really excited to write a sequel for my first story! Hopefully this one is just as good! : )
Disclaimer: Sadly, nope. : (
The newly painted halls of East High were silent; waiting for the students, both old and new, to walk through the front doors and bring them back to life. The pencils were sharpened, basketballs filled with air, and the stage polished and cleaned. Now the only thing missing were the students.
A short while later, the freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors slowly started to walk into the school, chatting with friends about what they did over the summer. Gabriella Montez and Taylor McKessie came into the school, smiles on both of their faces and new school supplies in their bags. Clearly, they were the most excited about the new school year.
"Wow, East High hasn't changed a bit," Gabriella commented at the colorful red and white halls as she looked around.
"Yeah, it looks the same," Taylor agreed. She looked over at the bulletin board that was at the front of the school. "But it looks like Sharpay is already here."
Gabriella followed her gaze and saw the totally pink board for the drama club's notices and up-coming events. "Then this year should be exciting. She's the president this year."
"Then you and Troy should be having so much fun!" She said sarcastically. "Speaking of him, where are the boys? We were supposed to meet them and pick up our schedules."
"Troy mentioned something about him and the team doing something together before homeroom, so we're going to meet at my locker and they'll get their schedules without us."
But what the girls didn't know is how they were coming in.
"Are you sure this is safe? I seriously don't feel like getting killed on my first day at East High."
The basketball team, including Troy Bolton, Chad Danforth, Zeke Baylor, Jason Cross, along with a few other senior players were all standing in the parking lot, ready with helmets and protective gear to skate into East High. Troy's younger sister, Patricia Bolton, was coming along for the ride, and she was started to get a bit freaked out.
You see, every year at East High, the senior members of the basketball team did something crazy on the first day of school. This year, Troy, Chad, Jason, Zeke, and the others decided to roller skate through the halls and scare the freshman and cause mayhem. Patricia asked them if she could come along, thinking it would be fun. But now, she was starting to have second thoughts.
"Seriously, I don't think it's a good idea. I mean, what if you crash into something and die? You wouldn't be able to graduate and stuff." She said, trying to get them out of doing it.
"No can do, Pat. We have to do this. It's kinda like our duty to past players and students. Plus, you wanted to do this. Have some fun with it!" Troy exclaimed.
"I know I wanted to do this, but it was before I knew you were planning on doing crazy stunts! I don't want to die from roller skating!"
Chad covered her mouth with his hand and spoke as she squirmed to get out. "Okay, so here's the plan. I'll take the twerp on my back and then you guys can do whatever. The rest of the team is waiting by the front doors to let us in, that way we don't run into the doors. About five minutes 'til the late bell, we'll meet in the gym and pick up our schedules. Does everybody agree?" Everybody nodded their heads in agreement, except for Patricia who kept squirming. "Then let's get this show on the road!"
The chatter among everybody stopped suddenly when the front doors opened and the boys came flying through the halls, with Patricia on Chad's back. Papers flew all around, some jumped out of the way, and everybody started whooping and shouting at them, laughing.
"Danforth, you better not do any stupid stunts with me on your back! If you do, I will hunt you down and haunt you for the rest of your life!" Patricia shouted.
Around the corner, Gabriella and Taylor were standing at Taylor's locker, discussing things about the yearbook and the Scholastic Decathlon when they heard Patricia shout.
"Was that-" Taylor started to ask, but her question was answered when she saw the two come around the corner.
Patricia noticed it was them standing there. "Tay, Gabby, HELP! He's going to kill me!"
The girls rolled their eyes. "Sorry, you're on your own, Pat! There's nothing we can do!" They saw Patricia pout as Chad speeded through the hallway and almost crash into a door that suddenly opened.
Laughing, they turned their attention back to their conversation. "So, if that was Chad, where's Troy?" Taylor wondered. Before Gabriella could answer, she was suddenly swept of her feet and flying down the hall. Squealing in surprise, she looked at the person who had picked her up. There was a pair of blue eyes glancing back and forth from her to the hallway. Troy.
"Troy! Put me down!" She scolded, but smiled at him at the same time.
"Sorry babe, but I'm going a good 100mph, and I don't really want to slow down. After all, if I did put you down, you would probably go flying and get hurt, and I don't want that to happen. So you're staying right where you are." He dodged a locker door that flew open.
She gave up. "Fine, but, watch out!" She squealed again when he was headed for a wall.
"Don't worry about it, Gabs." He assured and jumped over a pile of books that had been abandoned in the hallway. Then he nodded to a kid who had said "Yo, Troy!"
"Is anybody else doing this?" She asked. "Because I don't want you to run into anybody."
"Yeah, the seniors on the team," He answered. "It's a tradition." Gabriella had to roll her eyes at this. "What?"
Before she could answer, she felt Troy's skate get caught on something on the floor – she couldn't make out exactly what it was – and Troy's eyes went wide, trying to figure out how to not fall. But, they both went flying to the ground. Troy held onto Gabriella and put himself beneath her so she wouldn't get crushed. They landed with a thump.
"Ouch, my back," He groaned with his eyes squeezed shut. Then he opened them and looked at Gabriella. "Are you okay? I knew it was a bad idea to carry you around, knowing how much of a klutz I am-"
"Troy, I'm fine! At least you're wearing a helmet," she said and tapped the red and white wildcat helmet on his head.
"Yeah, but are you sure you're okay?" He asked again.
"I'm positive." She assured. "Now we better go get your schedule!"
After they got Troy's schedule and found that they had a lot of the same classes together, they headed for homeroom. You'll never guess who they had for their teacher…
"WHY ME?! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT FOR THE HAPPIEST YEAR OF MY HIGH SCHOOL CAREER?!"
"Mr. Danforth, this is a place of learning, not somewhere you can shout like a baboon! Now, sit down before I make you!"
Ms. Darbus.
Troy chuckled silently at Chad. He glanced over at Gabriella, who had found Taylor and the rest of the girls – Sharpay Evans, Kelsi Nielson, and Kate Davis – and they were obviously talking about either the latest fashions or the latest hunks in Hollywood that they were swooning over. He saw that Sharpay had pictures on her phone, and he got a glance of Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson. Everybody said he looked like Zac Efron, but he always laughed and disagreed.
"Sorry Ms. D," Chad muttered under his breath. Only Troy had heard him because they were in the same seats as last year. Then he started a conversation with the boys about basketball and other random things.
The bell interrupted the conversation and he sat down, stealing a glance at Gabriella before the freaky drama teacher started giving out detentions on the first day of school. She smiled at him, and he gave her the famous 'Bolton Wink' and turned back around.
"Welcome, young thespians, to your final year at East High! I'm sure you're all very excited about having the opportunity to have me as your homeroom teacher again," Chad glared at her back since she was facing the other side of the room, "and even more excited for finishing your career at East High and moving onto college. Now before we start talking about plans for the drama club and this year's Fall Musicale, which may I add that we've had some wonderful ideas presented to the drama club this year-"
"Yeah, that's just wonderful," Chad whispered and leaned up close to Troy's head so that he could tell him something. "Dude, please tell me that you're not planning on doing any musicals this year. I mean, we have to concentrate on our basketball for U of A! Plus, why in the world would you want to do something with, with that!" He nodded his head towards Ms. Darbus. Unfortunate for him, she heard him.
"Mr. Danforth, it seems that you have taken a great amount of interest in this year's musicale, am I correct?"
"NO!"
"Then I recommend that you close your mouth before I close it myself with duct tape," She glared at him and continued on with her rant. The class gave a chuckle at Chad, who had wide eyes and stared at her in shock. "Now, I all expect that you have all matured over the summer because I have much higher expectations of your behavior and work. And the rules of no cell phones still follow. Just because I transferred a grade doesn't mean I don't have the same rules."
Chad groaned silently and dropped his head on his desk. "Please, somebody tell me what I did to deserve this cruel punishment…"
"Danforth, I thought your behavior matured over the summer!" Darbus snapped at him, and he quickly sat up and pretended to sit like an angel. "By the way, please do something with that mess on your head that you call hair. It would probably help you act more like a young adult than a young child."
Before she could continue, the bell rang, ending homeroom. The students quickly gathered their things and raced out of the room, not wanting to confront Darbus again that morning.
When Troy got outside of the classroom, he leant on the wall and waited for Gabriella to come out. He saw Chad scurry out of there and run to his next classroom, probably really freaked out from Darbus's actions this morning. Then he saw Gabriella pop out of the crowd, probably searching for him. He quickly got off of his place on the wall and walked over to her, putting his arm around her waist and continuing to walk to their next period, talking about their exciting homeroom this year.
Patricia walked out of her homeroom and looked at her schedule. She had Gym with her dad next, and she couldn't wait! She quickly dropped her books off at her locker and made her way to the gym. As she turned the corner, she bumped into a figure and fell to the ground.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Here, let me help you." She heard a male voice say. She looked up and saw the cutest guy she had ever seen. He had blonde hair that was cut to his head, and the bluest eyes, like Troy's. She stared at him for a moment, but realized that he had his hand in front of her and she took it and smiled at him. He helped her up and she brushed off the dust off of her shorts and shirt.
"It's okay, I'm just being my klutzy self." She giggled to herself. "I'm Patricia, by the way."
"Well, hello there Patricia, I'm Sam. I just moved here from Vermont." He told her, and grinned at her. "Do you happen to know where the gym is? I have it next period, and I don't really want to be late."
"Wow, he has the same first period with me," Patricia thought. "Maybe we have some other classes together too!"
"Yeah, I was actually just heading there too. It's my next class," She smiled at him. "Come on, let's go there together."
"That sounds like a great plan," His smile got a bit brighter. "I have a feeling that this is the start of a great friendship."
Or was it the start of something more?
