Disclaimer: I do not and will never own High School Musical.
I just want to thank everyone who reviewed, favorited, or alerted this story it really means a lot to know that you guys enjoyed it. Anyways I watched HSM2 for the second time this afternoon and is it just me or are they just begging for us to ship Troypay?? Or not who knows maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. I know Sharpay was mean but I think she came through in the end. Good movie, I liked the songs better in the second movie but the movie itself could've been better.
Chapter 2
It's a Start
After Troy's dad, Jack Bolton, found out that three of his best players were in detention he immediately stormed in the auditorium looking for them.
"What are the three of my best players doing painting a fake tree?" Jack angrily asked Ms.Darbus when he saw Jason, Chad, and Troy painting.
"It's called detention Bolton. I think it's time you're basketball posse learns that just because they shoot a couple of touchdowns doesn't mean they can just get away with bad mouthing another student." Ms.Darbus told the angry coach.
"First of all Darbus it's a basketball team, second it's called baskets not touchdowns, and third of all we have a huge game coming up in two weeks and we need all the practice we can get."
"I believe that it is wrong that these basketball players can get out of anything they want just because their talent is shooting a ball in a net."
"Look can we just talk about this with the principal? And you three to the gym now!" Jack instructed the three who quickly put their paintbrushes down and ran out to the gym.
Ms.Darbus and Mr.Bolton walked Principal Matsui's office and sat down facing the principal.
"I believe that these kids should be treated equally meaning that no one should get special treatment." Ms. Darbus told the principal who nodded in agreement.
"Look George I agree with what Darbus is saying but you know we got a huge game against North High in just a few weeks. I say give them detention after the game is over."
" Look Jack I'm all for the team winning but what Alyson is saying right. No one in this school should get special treatment just because they're in a special club or team." The principal told the two.
Darbus gave Mr. Bolton a, "I told you so" look but it soon faded once the principal continued.
"But I do agree with Jack here that the kids have enough stress on their hands with game on Saturday. I say just go easy on them Alyson." The Principal told Ms. Darbus.
"This is unbelievable. What about my drama production should I let the kids who will be playing on the play get off easy too? Or is it just the basketball team? "Ms. Darbus angrily exclaimed before leaving the office.
"Thanks a lot George." Jack told the principal, "I appreciate you siding with me on this one."
"Look Jack I know you and Alyson have had you're differences but can you just put it aside and try to get along." The principal asked.
"I'll try but the woman just gets on my nerves sometimes." Jack answered before saying goodbye to the principal and going back to his basketball practice.
As soon as basketball practice had ended Troy immediately thought back to the bet he made with Chad. I can't believe I'm doing this, he thought to himself.
Troy sighed before approaching Sharpay who was currently opening her locker. Troy walked up to her and noticed she was carrying some books, "Need some help with that?"
Sharpay closed her locker shut and glared at Troy, "Like I would want your sweaty hands to touch my books Bolton. As if" She then left but not before giving him one last glare.
Chad who saw the whole thing walked over to Troy, "Ouch. Are you sure you don't want to back out now Troy?"
"No. Sharpay just needs a little bit of work that's all."
As soon as lunch stared Troy went looking for Sharpay and saw her sitting with some people from the drama group, he grabbed his tray and sat down with them. Sharpay and the rest of the people sitting at the table turned to stare at him.
"What exactly do you think you're doing Bolton?" Sharpay asked angrily.
"Just sitting with you." Troy simply answered.
"This isn't you're table. You're supposed to sit with the jocks." Sharpay pointed at the table below them where the basketball team and cheerleaders usually seat.
"I just wanted a change that's all."
"Well then I guess we'll be the ones leaving then." Sharpay took her tray and left the table, Ryan following after her. Troy was left all alone with the drama club who couldn't take their eyes off him.
One girl who was wearing all black clothes stared at him while he was eating. Troy noticed it and asked, "Um…why are you staring?"
"You're Troy Bolton."
"Yeah I noticed."
"And you're sitting with us."
"Yeah I am. Is that a problem?" Troy asked.
"Can I touch you?" One girl wearing huge round glasses blurted out.
"What?" Troy asked feeling surprised and a bit uncomfortable by the question.
"To see if you're real." The girl answered as she began reaching for him but before she could touch him Troy immediately stood up and grabbed his food.
"It was nice talking with you guys. I've got to go." Troy raced back to his old table where Chad who noticed the whole thing began laughing, "Give up? I saw this nice pink number in my sister's closet that would look very flattering on you."
"No. But this might take longer than I thought." Troy admitted to Chad.
"No problem man. The game is still a month away." Jason said trying to make Troy feel better.
"It might take longer than a month for Sharpay to stop hating me."
After lunch Troy was walking to his next class but he accidentally bumped into Sharpay. Sharpay picked up all her books, "Watch where you're going Bolton."
Troy followed Sharpay and asked, "Look Sharpay can't we just start over? I mean what have I ever done to you?"
"Let's see you and your friends are the reason that the Drama club's plays are never successful since everyone would rather go watch you're stupid game than our play. You sat on my lunchbox when we were nine. You're friends constantly call me the "Ice Queen" and oh let's see I just plain don't like you." Sharpay answered with annoyance before entering her next class followed by Troy, who had the same class as her.
"Ms. Evans, Mr. Bolton you two are late. You two have detention with me after school." Their science teacher Mr. Larson told them as the two entered the class.
My dad is going to kill me Troy thought to himself before sitting down.
When the last bell of the day rang Troy walked to the science classroom and sat down in front of Sharpay.
"Ok you two I don't want to hear any talking. I'll be out for a few minutes to get some school things. You two better be still here when I get back." The teacher left and left the door open.
Sharpay narrowed her eyes at Troy, "Great job Bolton because of you I'm going to miss my daily vocal lessons with Ryan."
"Look Sharpay I'm not jumping for joy either. My dad is gonna kill me when he founds out I got detention again. And to think I just wanted to ask you to be friends."
"Why?" Sharpay asked startling Troy.
"Why what?"
"Why do you want to be my friend all of a sudden? For the past eight years we've had a rivalry going on why do you want to be my friend now?" Sharpay asked curiously.
"If you want to know my dad asked me to get along better with the drama kids so that Ms. Darbus won't be too harsh on me." Troy lied.
"I guess that's makes sense. Okay so how about a truce?"
"A truce?" Troy asked.
"Yeah at least until the game and the play ends. I don't do anything to you and you don't do anything to me and then after the game and the play we go back to normal. Is it a deal?" Sharpay offered her hand.
Troy stared at the hand for awhile before shaking it, "Well it's a start."
