Back To School
"The fall musical was a success, and I hoped you loved our performance." Sharpay Evans said to the crowd.
She and her brother, Ryan, had hosted a New Year's Party at their house while their parents were on vacation in Colorado.
Suddenly, Ryan ran on stage and panting, said, " Shar… mom… coming… home… early…"
"Oh." She said, turning to the crowd, "Wellhopeyouhadagoodtime, but time to leave!"
At first, no one moved, but then Sharpay said, " GET OUT!"
And at the moment she spoke, everyone rushed to the door, eager to leave.
Ryan looked around at the house. It was on the messy side, but wasn't completely trashed.
As Ryan bent down and picked up a broken cup that was left on the floor, Sharpay said in a falsely sweet voice, " Hey, Ry, can you do something for me?"
"What?" he responded, picking up some more trash off of the floor.
"Thanks for offering to clean up!" she said, winking, as she walked up to her room.
"Hey!" he protested.
She didn't respond, but in the background Ryan could hear her play 'I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You'.
Next Morning
As a result of the twin's party, they weren't aloud outside of the house after 8:45, which made Sharpay screech in despair, but it was finally accepted after their mother threatened to make it a 7:00 curfew.
Ryan was up, dressed, and fed by the time Sharpay had woken up. He slowly descended upon her room, and was surprised to see half of her wardrobe lying on the floor of her room.
"Where is it?" Sharpay yelled, as she walked out of her closet.
"Where is what? C'mon, Shar, we're going to be late."
"Alright, alright…" She said, walking into her bathroom.
When she came out, she was wearing heels, a pink skirt, and a pink blouse.
While the two were walking down the stairs, Ryan asked, "What happened to the outfit you were wearing a minute ago?"
"Oh, Ryan" she said, walking out the door, heading to the bus.
Ryan followed, making sure to grab his messenger bag.
When the twins got on the bus, everyone was yelling things like ' Here comes the Ice Princess and her faithful puppy dog!' which earned them a glare from Sharpay as she sat down in the backseat with Ryan.
The two played around with their cell phones, checking their emails and whatnot.
"Aww!" Ryan whined when he realized he didn't have any text messages.
The two got off the bus and walked down the hall to their lockers, and Sharpay automatically had to wave away all the jocks in their way.
"Ooh, Ryan look, there's Troy Bolton!"
Ryan rolled his eyes, then said, " When will you ever give up on him? You've like him since kindergarten!"
She glared at him and said, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing… nothing at all…"
"Thought so," she said, walking to homeroom.
The two went to their normal seats, and Sharpay said, " Hi Troy" then walked to her seat.
"I trust you all had splendid holidays, and there are sign-up sheets in the lobby for new activities, Mr. Bolton, especially our winter musical. There will be singles auditions for our supporting roles and pairs auditions for our two leads. Mr. Danforth, this is a place of learning, not a hockey arena. There is also a final sign-up form for our Scholastic Decathlon Competition, chem club president Taylor McKessie can answer all of your questions about that."
Suddenly, someone's phone beeped, so naturally many people reached in their bags to check whose it was. Sharpay, Ryan, Troy, and Gabriella all had their phones out. Sharpay turned in her seat to face Ryan, "Is it yours?"
Ryan just shook his head, no.
"Ah… the cell phone menace has returned to our crucible of learning." Ms. Darbus said, carrying an old paint bucket around to collect the phones. "Sharpay and Ryan, cellphones, and I will see you in detention."
The two placed their phones in, reluctantly, as you could see the surprised look on their faces.
"We have low tolerance for cell phones in class, so we will be getting to know each other in detention. Cellphone. And welcome to East High, Ms. Montez, Mr. Bolton, I see your phone is involved, so I will see you in detention" Ms. Darbus said to the new girl, Gabriella. She placed her phone in the bucket, and to Troy, as he put his phone in as well.
"Well, that's not even a possibility Ms. Darbus, your honor, you see, because we have basketball practice, and Troy—" said Chad Danforth.
"Ah, that will be fifteen minutes for you, Mr. Danforth. Count them" Ms. Darbus said, cutting Chad off.
Then Taylor McKessie had to get involved, " That might be a problem for Chad because he probably can't count that high"
"Taylor McKessie, fifteen minutes. Shall the hardness continue? Holidays are over people, way over. Now, any more comments? Questions?"
Jason raised his hand. "Jason?" she asked.
"So, how were your holidays Ms. Darbus?" he asked, earning many odd looks from his classmates. "What?"
And at that moment, the bell rang, dismissing the class.
Ryan and Sharpay walked out of the room and Sharpay directly went to the signups for the winter musical. And she was surprised to see Troy Bolton there with Gabriella Montez, the new girl.
"That's completely impossible…" she heard him say.
"What's impossible, Troy? I wouldn't think 'impossible' would even be in your vocabulary. So nice of you to show a new classmate around." Sharpay said. She then pulled out her pink pen and signed herself up in the 'pairs' audition space. "Oh. Did you want to sign up to? My brother and I have starred in all the school musicals, and we really welcome newcomers. There are a lot of supporting roles in the show. I'm sure we can find something for you."
"No, no, no. I was just looking at all of the bulletin boards. A lot's going on at this school. Nice penmanship." She said, walking away.
"So Troy… I missed you during vacation. What did you do?" she asked in her sweet voice, advancing upon him.
"Oh, you know, basketball, snowboarding, more basketball…"
"When's the big game?"
"Uh… two weeks…"
" You are so dedicated… just like me! I hope you come watch me in the musical… promise?"
He just nodded.
"Toodles!" she said, waving.
"Toodles…" he said back, smiling weakly.
A/N: So how was that for a beginning? I know… it's sort of boring now, but what do you expect for a beginning? Me and a boy named Josh from Illinois wrote this over a chat on aim (we roll played it, Josh was Sharpay and I was Ryan) and It evolved into this story… So… how is it? Please tell me, I would really appreciate it! And Josh and I have already chatted the whole thing through, so It's just a matter of writing it as a story and typing it up (which is my job) so anyway… please review!
