"I can only handle Sharpay so much, you know. Nag, nag, nag is all she says. And look at these clothes," Ryan ranted pointing to his shirt, "I can take the
hats, but pink is just a little TOO far!"

Ryan ended his weekly ranting session at East Central Community Park. With a girl only known as Lynn listened. It all started two years ago, at
beginning of freshman year, when Ryan was walking his dog through the park.

"I know how you feel; my brother runs the school he goes to. I actually go to a different school, just to escape it all.," she said.

"Lucky, well, at least my sister has a boyfriend now; she made him wear the PINK hat yesterday. The look on his face was priceless," Ryan, said reminiscing.

"Well, lets form the older-twin-who's-overshadowed-by-their-younger-sibling Association. Since, we are considered popular or evil by association, we should have our own club." She ranted

"Haha, very funny, but it needs a shorter title, business cards can only handle so much. How about, Older Twin Anonymous or OTA." Ryan suggested "Well, nice talking to you today, Lynn, I have to be home in 5 minutes. See ya."

He got up, then walked home. Five minutes later, Lynn did the same.

"Gracelynn Victoria! You were supposed to be home 10 minutes ago!" her mother scolded.

"Sorry, mom, I lost track of time. I was clearing my head in the park." Gracelynn explained.

"All right, since I know how hard school is now days, I'll let it go. Now, can you help me with dinner?"

"Where's dad?" Grace asked

"Oh, probably out with your brother. Anyway, I found out today the school board has transferred me to East High, so I'll be teaching dance there."
"Cool, dad says the gym equipment is better there." Grace said sitting down at the table.

"That also means you have to go to East High." Her mother said also sitting down.

That almost caused Grace to drop the dish she was holding.

"Its okay honey, you can use my maiden name like you did at West High. The only people who will know is the people in the office,
because of your birth certificate," her mother explained.

"Ah, I'll take you up on the maiden name thing, its just going to school with my brother I'm not to wild about."

"Just be the best Gracelynn you can be, that's all that matters." her mother smiled.

"Ryan! You're going to make me late for school if you don't wake up!" Sharpay screeched.

"I am up, and ready to go, you're the only that has changed clothes four times."

"Whatever, lets go. Zeke has a new breakfast cookie he wanted me to try. Oh," she said walking out the door, then peeked her head in," Its my turn to drive."

"Please have a seat." Principal Matsui said sitting down in his chair. "I know changing schools mid-semester is stressful, but I am sure you will succeed at East High. Looking at your record, you can go into any subject you choose. However, there are two last names on your transcript, usually we go by the last one. But, is there a preference by which one would you want on the role sheet for your classes?"

"Verde, please" Grace said

"Well, Ms. Verde, here is your schedule, and please note your homeroom teacher this year is Ms. Darbus, the head of our drama department. Now, should go so
you would be late on your first day."

"Thank You, Mr. Matsui." Grace said leaving the principals office.

Just this idea that wouldn't leave me alone...tell me what you think. Later! -ACOLDSKY
