Hey, my name's Katerina, but just call me Kat. I couldn't get Chapter One up yesterday because it was pretty late. Here's the first chapter. Hope you like it. By the way, this is my first fanfic. Please Read and Review!
Disclaimer: I don't not own High School Musical or any of the characters. The only thing I own is the wonderful plot and the original character which will appear later.
Chapter One
Cheating and Scheming
Monday Morning, October 2, Homeroom- 7:59 a.m.
It's another typical day at East High. The Twinkle Towne musical cast list has finally been posted. The Academic Decathlon was won and the West High Knights were defeated by the East High Wildcats. After a stressful weekend and a weird turn of events, things slowly settle back to normal. Or at least back to the way it was.
Gabriella Montez, a girl of no more than 17 years, walks into Ms. Darbus' homeroom. Gabriella has brownish-black hair and brown eyes. She has a friendly smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes. She is one the resident geniuses. It was thanks to her that East High won the Academic Decathlon a few days ago.
Ms. Darbus, on the other hand, is not as warm and has a thing against cell phones. Ms. Darbus has blonde hair and brown eyes. She wears these over-sized glasses that are so big, they cover at least half her face. Ms. Darbus is the residing teacher for drama. She directs the production and picks out the cast members.
Gabriella heads straight to her seat and immediately starts up conversation with Troy Bolton. They whisper about something and then Troy says something that makes Gabriella giggle.
Troy has brown hair and blue eyes. He is one of the jocks in the school. He is the captain of the basketball team and the coach's son. Ever since the whole "Twinkle Towne" musical fiasco, he and Gabriella have become really close.
Close by, another couple is sitting fairly close to each other. They look just as friendly as Troy and Gabriella and they are also engaged deep in conversation.
Taylor McKessie, one half of the couple, has brown hair and brown eyes. She is also another one of the resident geniuses. Though in the beginning of the year she despised jocks, she has grown quite friendly to them through Gabriella.
Chad Dansforth, the other half of the couple, has brown hair that flies in about every direction, although it is very neat, and has brown eyes. He's normally seen carrying a basketball around with him, but it seemed to be absent today.
On the opposite side of the room glaring at the two couples, is a very jealous Sharpay Evans. She is furious with the fact that Troy and Gabriella beat them out for the lead roles in the musical. Sitting next to her is her brother, Ryan Evans.
Sharpay has blonde hair and brown eyes. She is known to wear extremely sparkly clothing. She has been in 17 productions and has been the lead in all of them. She is known throughout the school was the "Ice Queen." She is the more commanding of the two.
Ryan also has blonde hair and brown eyes. He is also known to wear flashy clothing and funky hats. He has been the lead along with his twin sister. On the other hand, he doesn't seem as furious as Sharpay about the defeat.
"I still can't believe they beat us, Ryan. It was because of you! You idiot! Next time don't be such a klutz," says Sharpay. It's so easy for her to find an excuse about her defeats because she just usually blames her brother.
Ryan, although he knows it's not his fault exactly, still takes the blame. "I know sis. Now, will you please calm down? The spring musical doesn't start till next year. Don't worry, we'll beat them." It's always been that way with Sharpay. She's such a perfectionist and bossy, yes, really, really bossy.
Sharpay turns and glares at Ryan. "We'd better. We can't let them beat us again. You hear that Ryan! Not again."
RIIINNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!
The school bell goes off signaling the end of homeroom period. Ms. Darbus, since she has a thing about cell phones, loudly exclaims, "Was that a cell phone?!"
The class responds that same, "No, that was the bell."
The day seems to be going normally to all the students until they head off to their first classes. As the bell rings, an announcement goes on.
"Students," begins the principal, "it seems that West High has demanded a rematch for both the decathlon and the basketball game. Since the school accuses us of trickery, we sadly have to accept the request. The events have been rescheduled for about 2 months from now. That is all."
In the four different rooms, the expression on Troy's, Gabriella's, Chad's, and Taylor's face were the same. They couldn't believe it! The musical is in about two months. Troy and Gabriella can't both handle the musical and the decathlon or basketball rematch! They all know that either team can't survive without them. What are they to do?
In another room smiles a happy Sharpay. Things have decided to go her way again. She diabolically conjures a plan to get Troy and Gabriella to quit and her back in the limelight.
