Chapter 2.
Every teen in the school piled out of their homerooms and walked to their lockers. After collecting their books for first period the twins met up again and walked to their first class whilst still talking about the announcement their drama teacher had given in homeroom.
Upon entrance into the science rooms Sharpay automatically felt Chad staring at her with contempt again, but with today being so near the anniversary of the accident she just ignored him. None of the basketball team could understand why she had almost let Chad's comments this morning just fly past, most of the time she would have had a really witty comeback but something was obviously wrong with her today.
As all of the students knew what their projects were for this week they started working as soon as they had entered the classroom. Sharpay and Ryan all the while discussing the beckoning auditions which were to start next period.
As many of the students spent their lesson working hard on their projects the lesson passed by quickly. With the start of second period just five minutes from now the twins packed away their project, got ready to leave and walked out of the class room as soon as the clock struck 10. They strolled to the drama theatre with as much speed as they could and took their seats in the 'audience'.
The first person to perform was Gabriella. She was the newest student at the school and was a fairly keen performer, but nowhere near as good as Sharpay was. She was given So Yesterday by Hilary Duff. The pop song suited her voice but didn't really give her any opportunity to show her voice off.
Next up was Ryan, he was given Hey There Delilah by Plain White Tee's to sing. He did very well considering he didn't particularly like the song, but his sister loved it so he knew it by heart. His performance was pitch perfect and very possibly the best performance he had ever given.
After Ryan it was Sharpay's turn to perform. The song Ms. Darbus had chosen for her was Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne. As soon as the music began to play Sharpay commanded the stage with all she possessed and sang:
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh
Na na na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oooooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh
I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere your not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day i found it won't be the same noo..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that i found it won't be the same oooh...
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you
Just as he had thought Troy saw all the emotion he noticed earlier in Sharpay's performance. She put everything she could into her performance and it paid off. Right at that moment, he didn't know why, but Troy decided that he would audition. And as if it were fate two seconds after he had made this decision Darbus called for last minutes sign ups and everybody, including the twins, gasped as Troy stood and raised his hand.
"Very well Mr Bolton. Please may you perform Wherever You Will Go by The Calling for us."
Troy nodded and made his way onto the stage. More gasps followed when people heard how good he actually was.
'Damn, that boy's good. He may even beat Ryan out this year. Oh my god, imagine having to perform with him. I hope he doesn't get the part i saw him this morning, I'm more than certain he saw the real emotion in your eyes when Chad put you down. What if he tries to find out why. Damn it Sharpay pull yourself together, don't worry. Darbus hates the basketball team so why would she allow one a place in her play, don't overreact.'
The bell then rang signalling the end of free period and auditions and the start of break. Ryan walked over to his twin and started gabbing about how great troy was. Sometimes, like now, Sharpay really started to think that her brother might just be gay, but then she would remind herself how in love he was with Gabriella.
