Chapter 1 – Beginning of the End.

"Can anyone tell me who said the phrase 'We know what we are, but we know not what we may be.' ?"Mrs Flynn, the English teacher boomed as she entered the classroom. Everyone around her scurried to their seats and pulled out their notebooks. Everyone remained silent, as for they did not know the answer.

"No one?" She quizzed, there was a silent knock on the door, and stood in the doorway was a young blonde girl, she stood at a mere 5'3, with deep brown pools. Everyone turned in her direction, staring intently at the new arrival.

"Yes, can I help you miss?" Sharpay entered the room and passed along a piece of paper to Mrs Flynn, She glanced quickly over the piece of paper then turned back to the rest of the class.

"We have a new student with us today, Miss Sharpay Evans" She smiled as she gestured for Sharpay to take a seat next to Gabriella in the middle of the room, the only vacant seat.

"So where were we, Ah yes so no body knows the answer, well-"

"William Shakespeare" Sharpay answered as she pulled out her notebook and a pen from her bag, cutting Mrs Flynn mid-sentence. Mrs Flynn looked startled.

"What?"

"Oh I heard you from outside the classroom, just before I knocked, you asked if anyone knew who said 'We know what we are, but we know not what we may be'. It's William Shakespeare." Sharpay explained, smiling back at her. Mrs Flynn stared at her for a few seconds before averting her gaze back to the rest of the classroom.

"Oh, yes that is Correct Miss Evans." Sharpay took a quick glance to her side to see that Gabriella was jotting down the answer and making a mental note of it, Sharpay then turned around to look at the back of the classroom to steal a quick glance at Troy, She had spotted him the moment she had entered the classroom, his blue eyes were hard to miss. She turned back to the front of the classroom and secretly smiled to herself.

It was only 30 minutes into the lesson and Troy was already bored. He was doodling little notes and pictures on his notebook and not really paying attention to what was being said in the classroom. He was intrigued by this new student in his class, He caught her glance at him from her seat in the middle of the room and gave her a small smile in return. Sharpay mentally took note of what Troy looked like and tucked it away like a photograph in her mind, his stunning Blue eyes lingering in her head.

The ball bounced off the hard floor a few times before Troy passed the ball over to Chad who faked left then passed it back to Troy.

"So what do you think of the new girl?" Troy asked as he aimed to take a shot. He threw it and scored a basket. Chad ran for the ball as it bounced off the ground and off the edge of the court.

"What is there to say about her? I've only had one class with her, which was Maths and believe me she is extremely smart, she knows everything dude. I reckon if her and Taylor were to compete against one another she would beat Taylor and that's saying something." Chad stated as he also aimed to make a basket.

"Really? I had English with her this morning, she was answering nearly every question thrown at us" Troy said as he tackled the ball from Chad.

"She seemed a bit odd, If I'm honest" He then stated again as he tucked the ball underneath his arm to take a breather.

"She may be odd, but she is Hot" Troy nodded as he agreed with Chad.

"Okay boys get showered up and then you can go to Lunch" Coach said as he blew his whistle to signal the end of the lesson.

A blustery, chilled wind hit Troy's face as he sat down with his friends at the lunch table in the far corner of the cafeteria. He looked over to the main entrance of the cafeteria where he though the wind had came from and spotted Sharpay standing there looking rather lost. Gabriella sat down next to him a gave him a gentle nudge.

"What you looking at?" She urged. She looked in the direction of where he was looking and also spotted Sharpay, but instead of her being at the entrance of the cafeteria she had moved and sat at a table by herself, she reached into her bag and pulled out some home made food.

"Oh that's Sharpay, She is quite a nice girl" Gabriella stated as she turned back to her own food.

"You've spoken to her?" Troy asked as he turn to her. Gabriella nodded as she took a bite of her salad. She turned to Troy and smiled.

"Yeah, I feel like I can really talk to her with all my school work and stuff because she understands it just as well as me, It's Great. Maybe we should ask her to come sit down with us, Get to know her a bit more." Gabriella said as she got up from her seat before anyone could protest and started walking over to where Sharpay was sat, Troy could see her talking to Sharpay but couldn't make out what was being said. Sharpay turned towards their table and stared at Troy, he quickly averted his gaze. They both got up from the table and started walking over to the table where Troy and his friends sat. Gabriella sat back down in her place next to Troy and Sharpay sat on the opposite side of him, she smiled at him holding out her hand for him to shake.

"Hi, I'm Sharpay"

"Troy" He smiled back, their hands lingered in each others for a few seconds longer then intended, Troy motioned towards everyone else so he could introduce them one by one. They all nodded in her direction and said a simple hey as they were introduced.

"So are you like super brainy or something, Did you go to some kind of special school?" Chad asked, cutting straight to the chase once everyone was settled. Sharpay looked at him slightly confused. Taylor slapped his arm gently causing him to cry out in mild pain.

"No, I went to a school similar to this one"

"Why did you move then?, I mean there isn't anything special in Albuquerque." Zeke asked as he stuffed the rest of his pizza into his mouth, Sharpay looked at him disgusted.

"Just family problems." Sharpay left it at that. Which left the table quiet, in an awkward situation.

"Well me and Taylor are going to the mall after school, Fancy coming with us?" Gabriella asked breaking the awkwardness by being as friendly as ever. Sharpay smiled in appreciation.

"Yeah that would be nice." Sharpay smiled as she looked down at her food and fingered it with her fork, there was no way she was going to eat it. Gabriella sighed as she place her fork down and stood up from her seat.

"Sorry guys, I need to head towards the library, work won't do itself now will it" She joked before picking up bag and walking out of the cafeteria.

"So where are you from?" Taylor asked, Sharpay looked forward at her, she gave her a tight lipped smile and thought for a minute or two.

"Santa Fe" She simply stated, Remember where the kind man dropped her off before she actually made it to Albuquerque.

"Really?, that's not that far from here" Sharpay nodded to say that she already knew that. She didn't like being questioned about her life, because she wasn't exactly sure where she was from, who she was and why she was here, well she knew why she was here, but she was completely sure why she was made and put on this earth to do the things that she does.

"So where have you moved to then, Anywhere we might know?" Ryan asked sipping from his cup.

"Just a small house up the road" The gang just nodded at her, it was obvious to them that she didn't like talking about anything personal.

"So what lesson do you have next then?" Sharpay pulled out her schedule and skimmed across the paper as she looked for the right time and date.

"Drama"

"That's what me and Troy have next" Ryan said as he pulled out some paper from his bag. It looked like some kind of script, he passed it along to Sharpay.

"Here you go, It's the play we are studying right now, You might want to look at it" Sharpay took the script from him and looked at the first page. It read 'Thornton Wilder - Skin of Our Teeth'. She quickly skimmed through the whole script them passed It back to him.

"Thanks, But I won't be needing it."

"Are you sure, We are meant to learn every single word by tomorrow's lesson"

"Don't worry, I can manage it." She smiled at him then finished off her drink. Ryan gave her an unsure look before reading over the script himself.

"Have you read the play before?"

"Yeah something like that" Sharpay replied, the bell rang signalling the end of the lunch period. Everyone started clearing the cafeteria.

"So Troy, Do you like Drama?"

"Yeah it's not bad, I prefer plays like Romeo and Juliet and Our Town, the one we are doing right now hasn't really caught my interest" They both stopped at Troy's locker as he placed all the books he didn't need in there, Sharpay gently leaned against the locker next to Troy's.

"They are brilliant plays. I love them both" She grinned up at him.

"Where is the Drama class? I just need to go to the toilet, so I'll see you there" He gave her directions to the classroom and also the toilets then headed off for his lesson. Sharpay made her way to the bathroom and checked under all of the stools to see if anyone was in them, then she locked the main door just to make sure no one was to disturb her. She placed both of her hand on either side of the sink and stared at her reflection in the mirror.

Why am I doing this to myself. I'm slowly loosing my mind all the time. She held out her hand in front of her so that her palm was facing upwards and closed her eye, she absorbed a shaky breath as she concentrated. Two pink rosy petals laid in her palm. She opened her eyes to look at them.

"You better be worth it" She whispered, as she blew on them they disappeared. She quickly washed her face and re-applied her make up before heading out to her next lesson. Drama. The class had already started, everyone was already into the script, Sharpay gently knocked on the door and entered as quickly and quietly as possible she mouthed a sorry to the teacher and took a free seat that was closes to her.

"Ah, Yes, You must be Sharpay Evans, I was expecting you, Next time be on time"

"Sorry"

"Okay so I would like to stop there with the script and would like to start on today's assignment which will be to interrupt a story of your choice, involving emotions and characteristics. Then you will be presenting it in front of the class in 2 weeks time. Remember writing is just like another language. Class dismissed."

So this is just the introduction, but the next chapter will have a lot of drama in it, I already have it pictured in my head so I better start typing it up. Just a few points:

*At the beginning referring to the whole Shakespeare phrase, I wondered if anyone caught on that Sharpay knew that because of her photographic memory, If not then sorry for not making it obvious, I'm just trying to link things.

*oh also when she skimmed through Ryan's script she was photographically memorising all the words.

The story will get more interesting as it progresses. I have already written the ending chapter, and believe me it will end on a high and it will be dramatic and it will be sad. So please carry on reading and please review. I would love to hear what you all have to say.
