Chapter 2:

For once, DJ took a break. She snuck back to the last row of the auditiurum and took a seat. She thought she watch the rehearshals for the talent show. Kelsi and Jason were up. They were doing a really cute duet together. Kelsi was on piano, while Jason sung. "Hey."

DJ's attention was brought away from the stage. She turned beside her and smiled when she saw Troy. "Whats up?"

"Not much." he answered. "Mind if I sit down?"

"Its a free country." she answered and Troy sat down next to her.

"They're really good aren't they?" he asked her.

"Yeah." she agreed.

"You know... You should be up there." Troy said.

"No way, I'm scared to sing infront of people, beside I'll never hear the end of it from Sharpay."

Sharpay, who was in the front row, noticed that DJ and Troy were gossiping in the back row. She couldn't help but think: One, she should be working, and two: what in the hell were they doing together?

Kelsi and Jason finished. People applauded their musical efforts. They took their bow. "Sharpay! You're up!" Mrs. D announced.

Sharpay went to find her mic and found it wasn't where she put it yesturday. "SPINNER!"

DJ stopped talking and turned to Sharpay. "What?" she asked.

"Don't what me!" yelled Sharpay. "Where is it?"

"Where's what?" DJ asked as she made her way up stage.

"My Pookie!"

"Come again?" Chad asked from the audience.

"My Pookie!" she answered angerily. "My mic!"

Taylor laughed. "She named her mic."

Sharpay glared at them. "This is not funny."

"Yes it is." laughed Martha, who sat behind Taylor and Chad.

"Here it is." DJ found it in the prop room.

"How did it get there?" she demanded. "I told you never move my mic!"

"I didn't. Someone else did."

Everyone exchanged glances. "The phantom strikes again." Ryan said who entered the theatre.

"You're all idiots!" Sharpay hissed at them. "They're is no such thing-"

She was cut off suddenly. The curtain fell on her. She screamed. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Everyone dashed up to help the diva out. "Are you all right?" Ryan asked her as he pulled her out. He turned to the other Wildcats. "Thanks guys."

"No problem." said Jason.

"OF COURSE I'M NOT ALL RIGHT!" Sharypay answered angerily. "SPINNER! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Troy ran up to the stage. "Wait, how can this be her fault?"

"She's the one in change of behind the scenes. She should have been at her post, making sure everything was done correctly. Instead of talking with you."

"Sharpay I'm really sorry, I double checked that this morning."

"Well, obviously you didn't!" snapped Sharpay. "Mrs. D!"

Mrs. D turned to DJ. "Ms. Spinner you must be more careful next time. This is your first warning. Two more times and you are out of this class."

"WHAT?!" Troy and DJ yelled together.

"This isn't the first time things like this has happened and I've been fair and letting them slid because they were all minor, but this, this could have hurt someone."

"THAT SOMEONE BEING ME!" Sharypay cried dramatically.

"But Mrs. D, I swear! It wasn't me!" replied DJ.

"I'm tell you its the Phantom." Chad said.

"Oh shut up," ordered Sharpay. "There's no such thing."

"Then how else would you explain all the odd things that have been going on around here?" Taylor asked.

Sharpay pointed at DJ. "Her."

"Enough." Mrs. D ordered her students. "Everyone help clean this up and we will get back to practice as for you Ms. Spinner, please leave the auditiurum."

"But Mrs. Darbus..." Troy began.

"Stay out of this Bolton." Mrs. D told him harshly. "You've all ready done enough."

Chad glared at their drama teacher. She so didn't go there... Chad thought. Troy shook his head and left. DJ followed him. "Troy!" she called after him when she caught up with him outside. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah..." he lied.

"Bull," she said.

"Not now, okay?"

"Troy."

"Go away."

Troy kept on walking. So, DJ went the other way.
