"Good morning my blooming actors! Today is a wonderful day at the theatre, as you know the winter musi-cal is today. I hope all of you appear in the large audience to cheer on your fellow classmates. Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez!" Mrs. Darbus motioned towards the two and the class started cheering. Troy smiled his infamous smile, but on the inside was the most nervous he had ever been. Gabriella could see through his mask.

She placed her hand on his shoulder and leaned in towards his ear. "Don't worry Troy, you'll do great." She whispered. She quickly pecked him on the cheek and returned to her seat.

"Alright, that's enough. Today we are talking about Romeo and Juliet, possibly the most romantic play ever written. Now, someone please tell me who wrote this marvelous play." Mrs. Darbus clasped her hands together, smiling brightly at her class.

Chad Danforth leaned forward in his seat and whispered to the back of Troy's head. "Dude, what is with her and making every word sound like some fancy name?"

"Ah, Mr. Danforth, I see you have volunteered. Who do you think wrote this masterpiece?" Mrs. Darbus interrupted.

"Um…uh…" He felt vibrations in his pocket from his cell phone and quickly improvised. "Sorry, one moment. Something is jabbing into my leg." The whole class sighed, everyone bored, wishing he would just answer already. Chad quickly checked his Sidekick.

From: Taylor

To: Chad

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

Chad snuck a thankful glance toward Taylor McKessie. "Um, William Shakespeare."

"That is correct!" Mrs. Darbus clapped. "Now, I have put you in pairs. You will not be doing scripts from this particular play today, but a more modern play I suppose, that I have created for the young theatre here in town. Now, when I call out your names and location go to that place with your partner." Mrs. Darbus walked over to her desk and shuffled through some stacks of paper.

"Ah, here it is!" She cleared her throat and continued. "Chad Danforth and Taylor McKessie will be back there by the black board." They both silently celebrated and walked back to the black board, hiding grins.

"Gabriella Montez and Ryan Evans will be over there by the windows." Troy looked at Gabriella, silently pleading for her to change partners. She mouthed sorry and pointed to Mrs. Darbus, hinting that she can't. Troy sighed and slumped in his seat, hoping that he gets any girl other than Sharpay. He was too busy praying they wouldn't be together that he didn't notice they were the only ones left.

"And last but not least, Troy Bolton will be with Sharpay Evans right here at the front." Sharpay clapped excitedly and dragged a confused Troy with her to the front. Mrs. Darbus handed each of them a script. At the top the script read in bold letter, "Different Lives".

"Now I want each and every one of you to try and actually feel the emotions running through the words. If you don't, you fail." Mrs. Darbus smiled and walked around the room, observing her students.

Yup, new story. Felt like making a HSM one so I did! Lol. So I think this chapter turned out fairly well. Please review, no flaming.
