Second chapter, hope you all enjoy it!
Before she knew it, Maddie was standing in the airport saying goodbye to her family. Maddie went through the line of relatives, getting hugs and last minute advice before she boarded the plane. London just stood and watched her friend, no one had come to say goodbye to her.
Mr. Tipton was always busy and London didn't have any family members that really cared about her. The dark haired girl was envious of her best friend. Maddie had family who cared, sure she didn't have money, but money can't buy you love.
She quickly put on a smile as Maddie ran over to her and pulled her on the plane. After many hours of looking out the window and watching on-flight movies the two girls arrived in Albuquerque.
"London, we're here!" Maddie yelled to the sleeping heiress beside her who groggily waved her hand and turned to the other side of her chair.
After a while of trying, Maddie was successful in waking up London and the two got off the plane.
The airport lobby was bustling with people who were meeting with family, friends, and business partners. Which made it increasingly hard to find someone you have never met before. In less than a minute, Gabriella Montez ran up to greet London.
"Are you London Tipton?" the girl asked with a large smile.
"How'd you know? Are you psychic? Can you tell me my future!" London asked excitedly.
"Umm, your name is on your bag…" Gabriella replied pointing to the designer bag London was carrying.
"Oh…Wait a second, you speak English! Shouldn't you be speaking Mexican?" the heiress replied.
"Um, people from Mexico speak Spanish and this is New Mexico, not Mexico. You are still in the states you know!" Gabriella said as flashed a smile; she wanted to make the most of this new experience, even if her new roommate was less than intelligent.
London waved goodbye to Maddie as Gabriella pulled her towards her mother.
Maddie on the other hand was having problems finding the family she would be staying with. She walked around the lobby, looking for a sign that had her last name on it. Not finding one, she turned around, bumping into someone. The two fell on the floor and quickly got up before they were stepped on by the massive crowd.
"Watch where you are going!" the blonde girl said as she dusted off her pink skirt.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't see you!" Maddie replied as she picked her bag up off the floor.
The two girls looked up, meeting each other's eyes. 'Am I looking in a mirror?' Maddie thought as she stared at the girl who looked exactly like her.
A boy about their age came running, holding tightly to a unique looking hat.
"Sharpay are you…whoa! Is that our long lost twin or something?" He said as he looked at his twin and the girl she was staring at, they look exactly alike!
The three stood there, dumbfounded. They were all too shocked to say anything. After another five minutes of standing there and staring, Maddie spoke up.
"Uh, hi. I'm Maddie Fitzpatrick…"
"Wait, as in Maddie Fitzpatrick from Boston?" the girl asked, still in awe of what was happening.
"Um, yeah." Maddie replied.
"I'm Sharpay Evans and this is my twin brother, Ryan. Apparently you are the exchange student that is living with us!" Sharpay said excitedly pulling Maddie into a light hug.
"Just wondering, but do you two know that you look exactly alike?" Ryan asked still in amazement.
Sharpay hit her brother on the arm and pulled Maddie towards their car. As usual, Ryan got in the driver's seat. He always had to chauffeur his twin sister around, but he really liked to drive their car so it didn't bother him that much. Sharpay and Maddie crawled in the back seat and told Ryan to go when they were situated.
"What's it like in Boston?" Sharpay said trying to start off a conversation.
"Kind of boring if you ask me. There isn't a whole lot to do except hand out at the mall." Maddie replied. She loved to hang out at the mall, but not with London. Her friend had a way of using her as a pack mule, telling her to hold bags or clothes for her.
"Speaking of mall…Ryan drop us off at the mall! Maddie definitely needs to work on her wardrobe if she expects to be welcomed at East High. The whole blue collar chic look is so last month." The blonde drama queen said looking at the school uniform Maddie was wearing.
Shortly after, Maddie was being pulled in and out of stores in the mall. They stopped in a store called Glitter Boutique; which seemed to be where Sharpay bought all her clothes. There were glittery tops and skirts in an assortment of colors all of the wall. Maddie cringed at the thought of wearing anything so flashy. She usually went for the earthy look.
In less than five minutes, Sharpay handed her a mound of clothes and rushed her in the direction of the dressing room. Maddie chose a couple shirts and skirts that would pass Sharpay's approval and walked out, only to be greeted by another mound of clothes heading her way.
"Try these on too, I'm sure you'll love them. So how did you like the last couple of outfits?" Sharpay said with a smile, shopping always made her so happy for some reason.
Maddie showed her the few shirts and skirts she had chosen and smiled sheepishly.
"You know what? How about we just buy everything I gave you to try on, I'm sure it will all fit perfectly!" Sharpay said as she motioned for Ryan to grab all the clothes and walked off to the register. She quickly pulled out a credit card and gave it to the saleswoman.
Maddie, knowing how it felt to be used as a pack mule went to help Ryan get the clothes.
"Is she always like this?" she asked Ryan as she picked up some shirts.
"If you think this is bad, you should see her when she power shops!" Ryan said with a slight chuckle as he went to drop his load off at the counter.
Maddie soon followed and helped Ryan carry the bags as Sharpay walked ahead, her heels clicking on the floor of mall. It was hard to see due to the amount of bags obstructing her view and she once again bump into someone.
'Am I klutzy today or what?' she thought as she apologized to the guy she had ran into.
"It's okay Sharpay…" the boy replied as he helped her pick up some bags. Maddie looked up and met his light blue eyes.
"Trevor?" she asked happily as she dropped her bags on the floor once again.
"It's me, Troy. Are you okay Sharpay?" Troy asked a little worried. He didn't get along with her at school, but Sharpay seemed to be acting really weird today.
"Oh sorry, I'm not Sharpay I'm Maddie Fitzpatrick; One of the Exchange Students from Boston. I mixed you up for somebody I know in Boston, sorry…" Maddie said with a small smile as she gathered her bags up once again.
"Very funny Sharpay…" Troy said as he handed her some bags.
"I'm not lying, ask Ryan and Sharpay!" Maddie said pointing to the twins who were running in their direction.
Troy stood there in silence. 'Two Sharpays?' he thought as he stood there in silence, watching the Evans twins get closer.
"Well I better go, nice talking to you!" Maddie said with a smile and a wave as she joined the twins.
Troy returned the waved and turned to his friends who were also in shock. Chad was the first to speak up.
"Great…another Sharpay! That's exactly what we need for the next two months!"
"I like the idea of having another Sharpay around!" Zeke retorted.
"You would!" Jason said as he slapped hands with Chad.
"I don't know, she does seem a lot nicer than Sharpay…" Troy said as he watched Maddie walk off in the other direction.
When Maddie met up with Sharpay and Ryan; she was greeted with a lot of questions.
"Do you know who you just ran into?" Sharpay said in astonishment.
"Not really, I'm new…remember?" Maddie replied with a little laugh.
"I'm being serious! That was Troy Bolton, the hottest guy in school!" Sharpay practically screamed.
"Don't worry, Sharpay is just mad because you got to talk to him and she didn't." Ryan said with a smirk.
"I don't like him! Not after he stole our parts in the winter 'musicale'" Sharpay retorted, anger bubbling. Yeah she liked Troy, but she didn't like to talk about it in front of strangers.
"Isn't pronounced musical?" Maddie asked, wanting to get into the conversation.
"Mrs. Darbus, our drama teacher really loves the theatre and she has her own little vocabulary that she uses when she talks about fine arts. I have a feeling you'll really like her." Ryan said with a smile as they headed for their car.
When they arrived at the Evans residence the twins showed Maddie her room for the next couple months and got ready for bed. She looked at the huge room she now lived in, the walls were a light yellow and there was a huge brass bed with a light blue comforter on top.
"I think I'm really going to love it here…" Maddie said out loud as she dropped her bags and luggage.
"I think you will too…" Sharpay said as she walked into the room and sat down on the bed.
"You want some help unpacking?"
"Sure!" Maddie said as she opened up her suitcase and grabbed a few shirts. She slipped them into the dresser as Sharpay hung up her new clothes in the walk-in closet.
"I'm sorry I got mad at the mall today, it's just that…I've liked Troy for a loooong time and I got just a tad bit jealous." Sharpay said putting emphasis on the long part.
"It's okay, he is pretty cute!" Maddie said as she continued putting up her clothes.
"I guess I better watch my back then, it seems I have competition!" Sharpay said as she finished up the last of the new clothes and placed some high heels on the shoe rack.
"I don't think so…" Maddie said as her cheeks turned a light pink.
"I think I do. Troy's a free man and I think he might like you…I better step up my A-game!" the blonde replied jokingly as she walked over to help Maddie with the rest of her clothes.
"Whatever, so…What's East High School like?" Maddie said trying to change the subject.
"You'll find out tomorrow! I better get to bed, see you in the morning!" Sharpay said as she finished up the clothes and waved goodnight.
"Goodnight!" Maddie said as she set up a couple pictures of her family and friends around the room.
Just as she was about to get into bed, her cell phone started to ring. The Mexican Hat Dance filled the room as she scrambled to reach the dresser. She figured since she was visiting New Mexico that the Mexican Hat Dance would be suitable.
"Hello?" she answered as she flipped open her phone.
"Hey Maddie!" London said through the tiny receiver.
"Hey, how's it going at the Montez house?" Maddie asked her friend.
"Okay, but there isn't enough room for my clothes in this small room. It's only about the size of my closet!" London cried.
"London, your closet has a kitchen inside of it, the room can't be that small!" the blonde replied between laughs.
"Well anyway, how is over at the Evans?" the heiress asked excitedly.
"I have a surprise, but you find out tomorrow at school!" Maddie replied with excitement.
"Ooh, I love surprises! TELL ME NOW!" London screamed through the phone.
"You'll figure out tomorrow, goodnight London!" Maddie said as she flipped her phone closed.
Maddie laid down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. She couldn't wait until tomorrow; she had a feeling that she would like East High.
