Thanks for all of the reviews that I received. Um, yeah, sorry it took me so long to update. But anyways, here's the next chapter!
"Ryan, wake up!" Sharpay said almost sitting on her brother trying to wake him up for the fifth time that morning. "You're going to make us late."
"Ugh, would you get off of me Shar so I can get up?" he asked her preferring to get up over jumped on.
"Fine then, but I'd better not have to come back in here to wake you up again," she said in a motherly tone.
"Whatever, mom," he said as she walked out, shutting the door.
In 20 minutes, he was down stairs and ready. She was already eating her breakfast and waiting for him. "Come on Ry, you've got 5 minutes to eat and then we've got to go," she said putting her plate in the sink.
"Fine, I'll just eat a granola bar on the way."
They headed out to the car. On the way to school, they spoke about the new musical and other things. When they walked into school, everybody became silent as the new and improved ice queen walked through the place she had once dominated. Whispers all of a sudden starting discussing why she was smiling, and not in the icy smirking way that was normal, but a nice pleasant one.
She reached her locker and saw Troy waiting for her. "Hey Troy."
"Hey Shar. I've missed you so much."
"You do realize that we just saw each other yesterday, right?" she asked while opening up her locker and grabbing a book out of it.
"Yeah, but, can't I miss you with out getting questioned?"
"Maybe," she replied mischieviously.
"What's up love birds?" Chad asked interrupting them as he and Taylor walked up.
"Nothing bug boy," Sharpay said right back to him.
"Ha, ha, ha. You think that you're so funny because you pulled that little prank on me," he said.
"Well, you have to admit, you did deserve it Chad," Troy said knowing that those two could play fight all day.
"Maybe," he muttered knowing that Troy brought up a good point and he was as well as defeated.
"Don't mind him guys, he's been telling me that he's decided to never say anything bad about Shar again as long as he lives after that prank you pulled on him," Taylor said laughing.
"You guys talk too much, we need to get to class before we're all late, and on the first day of school," Jason said as he and Kelsi now walked up to them.
"Yeah, hm, hm, Chad, hm, hm (these noises are like she's fake coughing if you didn't get it)," Sharpay said, shutting his locker.
They all walked to class together, having home room together. Along the way, they met up with Ryan and Gabriella. They went and sat in their seats talking before Ms. Darbus began her first day of school/cell phone speech.
"Class, please be quiet. Now before I begin to tell you the details about the winter musicale, I'd like to introduce our new student Alex Johnson. Please take a seat next to Ms. Evans over there," she said pointing to Sharpay. "Now, the new musicale will be the story of two a man and a woman in love. But their friends do not wish the two to be together and try their hardest to break them up," she said beginning her speech. She started off about all of them being seniors first and that this would be one of their last opportunities to audition and be in a musical.
Alex sat down next to Sharpay but not without giving her a large grin. She gave a polite smile in return and turned to face Ms. Darbus who was rambling on. Ms. Darbus was her favorite teacher, but this was just ridiculous. Sharpay could feel a pair of eyes staring at the side of her head. She knew that the person staring at her was Troy, she turned to her left and smiled at Troy. He quickly realized that she had caught him staring at her then blushed and turned back to Ms. Darbus.
Sharpay looked down as Ms. Darbus began to speak about the horrors of cell phones, and saw a piece of paper with her name on it. She pretended to drop her pencil and bent down to pick it up and the note. She opened the note when Ms. Darbus's back was turned and read it.
Hey Shar,
Chad just asked me if we wanted to go
to the movies with everybody else after
school, I bet he's just trying to get on your
good side so you don't play anymore pranks
on him. lol. So do ya wanna go with
them? I'll get your answer after class.
Love ya,
Troy
She slid the note in her pocket and pretended to pay attention to the rest of Ms. Darbus's speech while thinking about how much she was looking forward to hanging out with Troy during free period, not that they didn't talk any other time, it was just easier to talk when they didn't have teachers jumping at them to be quiet. Her thoughts, were interrupted by the bell that told them class was over. Sharpay walked out the door and waited for Troy. Troy was the last person out of the room behind Alex.
"Hey um, Sharpay is it?" she nodded, "Can you help me figure out my schedule?" Alex asked as Troy walked around him to stand next to Sharpay.
"Sure, Troy do you want to come with us to get Alex a map, or are you going to meet the others?" she asked him.
"I think I'm gonna meet up with the guys, if that's ok," he told her.
"Ok, see you during next period then. Come on Alex we'd better hurry if you don't want to be late to your next class."
The two walked to the office. Most of the conversation was Alex trying to figure out how his new school worked. He was clearly confused. They stopped at Sharpay's locker to drop off some of her stuff, then headed to the office to get him a map. She told him to ignore Ms. Darbus's rantings but not to get on her bad side. She also told him all about the drama club. After all, it was her duty to recruit new members as one of the co-presidents.
They got to the office and got Alex a map. He had math next while Sharpay had history with Troy. She pointed him in the direction of his class and headed off to her own class.
She entered the class and saw that Troy was sitting in his desk already talking with the other basketball guys. He waved to her and pointed to an empty seat next to him. She waved back and went to sit next to him.
"Hey, so how's the new guy?" he asked her.
"He's pretty cool, he's a little confused, but other than that, he's alright," she replied.
"Cool, maybe we should invite him to sit with us today at lunch. I bet it's hard being a new kid and not knowing anybody."
"Yeah, he that'd be pretty cool."
"Class, please quiet down. Now to begin..."
That was all Troy heard before letting his attention wander. The class was boring. The teacher went over what was going on in the class over the next semester and they got their history books. He eventually fell asleep, only to be woken up by something hitting his head. He sat up, looking around. He saw Sharpay trying to hold in her laughter. Luckily, the bell rang, not giving the teacher time to notice that he had been sleeping.
Troy walked out with Sharpay. "Hey did you throw whatever that was at my head?" he asked her with a smile on his face as they walked to their lockers which were right next to each other.
"Maybe," she said smiling mischieviously.
"I'll take that as a yes, by the way, what did you throw at my head?"
"A paper ball, but in my defense, you were about to start snoring."
"I don't snore for your information," he replied sticking his tongue at her.
"Whatever, you keep thinking that. But I swear, I heard snoring when we went camping."
"So, to English now I guess, but let's go dump these history books off first."
"Yes, please. This book is killing my arm."
"What? You've only been carrying that book for 3 minutes at the most."
"But there's about a million years of history in this book."
"Look, we're already here. So you can stop complaining now."
Sharpay not having an answer just stuck her tongue out at him. He replied by laughing.
After English, they were finally released to free period. Troy headed off to basketball and Sharpay headed to the auditorium. They would both eventually be heading off to the gym together when it got closer to tryouts for the musical but for now, they'd be going their seperate ways.
Sharpay entered the gym to find Ryan already there. Ryan was the other co-president of the drama club with her, so she had expected him to be there.
"Hey Ry," she said to him.
"Hey Shar. Long time no see," he laughed.
"Yep," she said also laughing.
"So where's Ms. Darbus?"
"I don't know. She should actually be here any second now."
Ms. Darbus walked in 2 seconds later scaring the two. The rest of free period was spent working on the new musical after Kelsi arrived.
Meanwhile. . .
Troy walked into the gym.
"Troy, hurry up, let's start practice," his dad said as he walked into the gym after changing into his basketball clothes. Mr. Bolton was supportive of Troy and Sharpay's relationship, but he still wanted Troy to stay dedicated to his basketball.
"Okay team, it seems that we have a new kid. What's your name son?" Mr. Bolton asked.
"Alex Johnson, sir," he replied.
"Okay, well Alex go over there with Troy and he'll see what you can do for today's practice, alright?"
"Sure."
During practice, it was easy to see that Troy had not lost his touch and Alex was pretty good as well. After the summer, he was still the basketball all-star and the new kid could be a pretty good player on their team.
When he was finished with practice, Troy rushed out of the gym to change and shower before going to meet Sharpay before their next class.
He ran to their lockers to find Sharpay already waiting there for him with. . .
