"Welcome to your first day of high school here at East High. My name is Ms. Darbus, and I will be your homeroom teacher for this year."
'Great…this woman is too bubbly for my taste' thought Troy Bolton.
"We're going to start off today by playing a little game. I want everyone to stand up and make a circle. Come now, don't be shy." said the Darbus.
We all stood up and complied with her command.
"Now I want us to all hold hands and everyone tell something about themselves."
'Geez, what is this? Kindergarten?' Ryan Evans wondered as he held his hand out to the brunette boy next to him. The boy took his hand shyly, and for a second they made eye contact.
They all went around the circle until they reached Ryan.
"My name is Ryan Evans, and I like to dance." He stated proudly.
The boy next to him blushed something fierce before speaking up,"I'm Troy Bolton, and I like to play basketball."
The two boys were temporarily blinded as someone took their picture.
'This is gonna be a long four years.'
'Welcome to East High'
