Acting Out

Gabriella didn't know if it was the fact that she had only had a couple of hours sleep the night before, she didn't know if it was because she had woke up that morning with all her summery dresses in the wash and had to wear a denim mini skirt, black ankle boots and a white flowy top and so she already looked different, she didn't know if it was the fact that Taylor had mentioned how tired she was of being a goody two shoes but she knew very much that she felt different. She knew that she had never had the notion to go out and betray Troy, to go out and party, and dance. But lately she had been feeling so bored, lying around and studying every night. She was only going to be this age once. And she ought to make the most of it, right? She looked at Taylor across the lunch table.

"You know what you were talking about the other day?"

Taylor looked up, "What was it?"

"You know, about rebelling, and having fun." Gabriella motioned with her hands.

"Oh yeah, sure what about it?" Taylor suddenly paid more attention.

Gabriella nodded, "I kind of agree."

She paused, "Up above the surface I was just a perfect child. But underneath it all I was craving to be wild" Gabriella began to sing and got up off her seat, pulling Taylor up too, she loved living in a went on, as tables of people began to stand, "Don't you judge by the cover it's so far from what you see. I'm losing all my patience, waiting, only to believe."

"I'm suffocating..."Taylor broke in and looked at Gabriella, "I can't breathe.."

And then they both sang together, dancing on two seperate of the school tables for the chorus of their duet, "Let me out this cage, I'm not gonna hold back! I'm gonna break these chains, I'm taking control now. Gonna give you something to talk about, it's another side of me. I'm acting out. Set me free! I'm ready to show you, this is what I need. It's time to get dirty, I'mma show you what I'm talking about, it's another side of me. I'm acting out."

Sharpay who had entered the cafeteria just in the middle of their singing, knew exactly what they were talking about and smirked, perhaps she should be the one to teach them. She stood at the top of the cafeteria, her 'perch', here she could survey her minions and had a perfect view of Taylor and Gabriella, and now Kelsi. This was brilliant. With a smirk she opened her mouth and spoke after they paused from their singing, "Welcome to a new beginning, it's time to start the show. No I don't think it matters if it's real or just a roll. Once you get a taste of it you'll be begging me for more." As she sang she walked down the large red steps down to everyone else, all eyes were on her, the way she liked it. "I'll give you something to remember once I hit the floor."

Gabriella and Taylor opened their mouths in response, "I'm letting go, of what you know."

This time Taylor, Kelsi and Gabriella all sang and danced, Sharpay danced rather more provocatively than the other three, but she didn't need to sing of course. Being a self-appointed teacher and all. "Let me out this cage, I'm not gonna hold back! I'm gonna break these chains, I'm taking control now. Gonna give you something to talk about, it's another side of me. I'm acting out. Set me free! I'm ready to show you, this is what I need. It's time to get dirty, I'mma show you what I'm talking about, it's another side of me. I'm acting out."

"Dude I think your girlfriend has gone crazy..." Said Chad when he and Troy were greeted with the sight of Gabriella, and Taylor and Kelsi all pronouncing they were acting out.

Gabriella laughed, "I've been waiting just to drive you crazy."

Taylor responded, "Nows the time, it feel's amazing."

Kelsi jumped off her table and slid onto the floor, "There's nothing left of what you've seen before."

Sharpay now stood coolly at the side of the crowd and sang back at them all, "Life's too short just to do what your told."

In the lull Troy looked at Chad, "Look's like yours is right up there with her too..."

Chad wrinkled his nose and kicked the air in anger, "What the hell is going on?!"

"Let me out this cage, I'm not gonna hold back! I'm gonna break these chains, I'm taking control now. Gonna give you something to talk about, it's another side of me. I'm acting out. Set me free! I'm ready to show you, this is what I need. It's time to get dirty, I'mma show you what I'm talking about, it's another side of me. I'm acting out."

When the girls had calmed down, Troy and Chad walked over to them, they were of course exhausted after their dancing, which Sharpay had noted needed some work. "What was that all about?" Troy asked and he put his arm around Gabriella who smiled quite widely.

"Taylor and I, and Kelsi too we are all fed up of sitting around studying, we're bored. We want to go out, party. Have some fun." She exclaimed.

"Don't you have fun with me?" Troy appeared wounded but Gabriella knew it was a facade.

"You know I do. But you know, this is a different kind of fun. Sharpay said she would take us out to a club tonight."

"Can we come?" Chad asked with a smile.

"No." Sharpay made her presence apparent, "Girls only." She folded her arms, "No exceptions."

Chad opened his mouth to protest but Troy intercepted, "Alright fine where are you going anyway?"

"Not that it's any of your business." Taylor looked the boys up and down, "But Club Mado."

And with that all the girls left.

"Why'd you do that man?!" Chad asked loudly.

"Shhh!" Troy said and calmed him down, waiting till the girls were out of ear shot, "Now we know where they're going, we can follow and watch from the shadows."

"Oh..." Chad said, finally getting it. "Oh you are smart hoops, very smart." He said and patted his friend on the back a couple of times before heading to sit down. Troy shook his head and looked in the direction Gabriella had left, he wasn't sure what it meant.

Okay so I got this idea listening to Ashley Tisdales new album, to try and do a High School Musical using all the songs from the album. So I figured the next song I do is gonna be:

Overrated - Gabriella 'breaking free' from the way she pretended to be with Troy so that she can rebel with Taylor and Kelsi.
Crank It Up - Sharpay and a DJ sing this when they go to the club where Sharpay is a regular

I am feeling pretty iffy about some of the songs, I don't really know where I could put them in, I have ideas one who I want to sing. But yeah. The next two chapters will be Overrated and Crank It Up. But only IF I GET REVIEWS! So if you want to read more, review!
