My head whirled as Sharpay finished her sentence. "…give it to me, now!" Her hand was extended towards me like she was expecting something.

"No!" I spoke, pushing past her squeezing Troy and Gabriella's song closer to me. It felt good to stand up to the one person that thought everything I wrote was for her, so she could climb higher to the top; leaving her loyal brother and other behind.

"Hmmmph….," she huffed, stalking back down the hallway. "You'll be sorry." I was scared to think of what I'd be sorry for, but the feeling melted away when I turned the corner and saw Ryan. He smiled at me. I automatically looked down out of habit, but as soon as he spoke I was not as shy.

"Umm, hey Kelsi, I'm really looking forward to today's rehearsal," he breathed. "I know it'll be great." Suddenly, he blushed. I followed suit, but hey he was taking me to prom. Strictly professional; I once believed. "Thank you," I smiled, looking down again. I felt his eyes still on me, but before I could see a voice rang out in the nearly empty hallway.

"Ryan!" Sharpay almost shouted. He jumped violently, hurrying to his sister's side. "See you later," he quickly spoke, winking, before disappearing. Sharpay looked at me with a quick unhappy glance, and then disappeared with Ryan tagging along. When I was sure that nobody was looking, I slumped against the lockers as a sigh escaped my lips. I closed my eyes, trying to relieve the stress that Sharpay put on me about wanting the song from the musical. I heard the bell ring above me, making me book it to drama class.

Ryan's Point of View

"The bell has rung and she hasn't made it to class yet," I whispered to myself quietly. Then she poked her head into the room. "Well, Miss Nielson, you're late. I'm quite surprised," Mrs. Darbus scolded as Kelsi seated herself in the front row, three seats from Jason, beside Zeke. "Sorry, Mrs. D, I lost track of time," she groaned, not wanting to cause attention to herself. "You're excused this time, Kelsi," she warned, pointing a finger at her. As class started I saw that Kelsi brighten up from being embarrassed by being late.

My train of thought was interrupted by my sister's voice. "Ryan, why haven't you gotten that song from Kelsi, you're taking her to prom. So hurry up and get it before you really have to take her."

I felt the annoyance welling up inside me, as Sharpay made her petty remark about Kelsi. "Sharpay I…….," I started, about to bring out a secluded side of me that she didn't like. "Just do it," she finalized, turning back around in her seat.

"Mr. Evans, do you have anything to say about today's discussion?" Mrs. D asked.

"No, Mrs. Darbus." I replied, snapping back into reality.

"I've told you before, no talking while I'm talking," she ordered. "After rehearsal detention, Kelsi could use your help with the set." I saw a tinge of pink arise in Kelsi's cheeks and ears. Gabriella looked at me as my face got warmer. She smiled at me and then said something out of earshot to Taylor. Taylor glanced at me and then at Kelsi, smiling cheekily. My face, I felt, got bright red as I realized that they knew. I had a crush on Kelsi, and if Sharpay found out; I'd be a dead man.
