When Saundree walked into the door, she looked a little nervous. She had never been in such a big school before. When Claressa walk into the door, she felt confident. She couldn't wait to make a good impression on her pupils. Sharpay and Ryan felt nothing, for they have been doing this same thing for three years.
Sharpay and Ryan went off, leaving Saundree and Claressa behind. Saundree looked at Claressa in wonder. Claressa was in wonder too, until she remembered her high school days. She knew she would not want her older and younger sister being with them. That would give them more chances to embarrass you. Then she remembered Saundree's wondering gaze. "Ryan and Sharpay just want to be alone while they're at school." Claressa tried to explain the best she could. Saundree nodded as if she understood, but Claressa knew she was having a hard time understanding.
Saundree saw her friends and started off exploring the school with them. Claressa started to go to the classroom. Just then she saw a river of students part for Sharpay and Ryan to go through. After they were out of earshot, the group started whispering "Ice Queen and King" and pointing at Sharpay and Ryan. "What was that all about?" Claressa asked herself as she continued on.
IN THE CLASSROOM
--
When everyone got in the room after the bell rang, Claressa started to give her introduction. "Hello, I'm your new homeroom teacher while Miss Darbose is away and also your new history teacher." Claressa said. Ryan and Sharpay looked around the room. Everything was normal, accept for Chad. He looked like he has just fallen in love. You better be thinking about Taylor and not my sister. Ryan and Sharpay both thought at the same time.
"Is there any questions?" Claressa said looking at the students. Troy raised his hand. "Yes Troy." Claressa said first looking at her student list and then at Ryan and Sharpay, who was mouthing out the name. "What is your name?" Troy said. Claressa looked over at Ryan and Sharpay, who looked worried. "My name is Claressa." she said. Troy looked in shock. "Any other questions?" Gabriella raised her hand. "Yes Gabriella." Claressa said, figuring out her name the same way as Troy's. "Why don't we call you by your last name like all the other teachers?" Gabriella asked. "I believe that that builds a wall between student and teachers." Claressa answered. Everyone was convinced that what she said was true, but Ryan and Sharpay knew better. She was trying to not let anyone know that they all were related.
Ryan and Sharpay felt relieved and thought it was going to be a good year. "I am also happy to report that you will be having my classes with the sixth graders." Claressa said. Ryan and Sharpay felt that relieve go right through them.
Ryan and Sharpay watched the sixth graders come in with Saundree leading the line. She thought about waving at her siblings, but remembering what Claressa said earlier that day, she decided not to.
Ryan and Sharpay could not believe their eyes. Where their sisters actually giving them space? They were pleased. At this rate, no one would expect the siblings were related.
After the bell rang every one went to their other classes. When the bell rang the fifth time every one went into history.
"We will be doing history projects on the area of your choice." Claressa said once everyone got in the classroom. "You will be paring up with a sixth grader that I have assigned you, get to know them so you can agree on a topic easily," Claressa added "you will be paired up into groups of three." she took the name list that Miss Darbous had given her. "These are the names of the teems: Gabriella, Troy, and Anne; Jason, Kelsi, and Stephen; Chad, Taylor, and Michelle; Zeke, Martha, and Adrienne. And last but not least," Claressa paused for a moment, she saw the twins daydreaming and Saundree looking patiently at her. "And last but not least," she said starting again "Sharpay, Ryan, and Saundree."
Ryan and Sharpay came back to reality. WHAT!? Sharpay, Ryan and Saundree all thought at the same time.
