The next morning

Gabriella stepped out of her car, a cup of coffee in her hands. In the other was a very large purse, and a binder. She closed the car door with her foot and clicked the button in her hand to lock the car.

"Need some help?" Troy asked smirking as he walked over to her from his car, seeing her struggling to keep her binder and purse in her hand and keep them in her arm.

Gabriella rolled her eyes, but handed him the binder in her hand nonetheless. "What time is it?"

Troy looked at his watch on his wrist. "We have thirty minutes until the students start arriving."

"Good." Gabriella said relieved.

Taylor rolled her eyes as they sat in Chad's car in the school's parking lot. "You would forget your phone."

"I thought you had it!" Chad said defensively.

Taylor put her hand on Chad's forearm. "Chad, honey, I took my phone, not yours." She said like she was talking to a five year old.

"Well, I'm screwed now." Chad said taking his keys out of the ignition.

Taylor patted his arm. "Of course you are."

Chad looked at her with a glare. "Thanks."

Taylor looked at him unfazed. "It's just your cell phone Chad. Nobody calls you at work. No, nobody is suppose to call you at work."

"I still need it." Chad told her.

Once again, Taylor rolled her eyes.

Jason was walking past the chorus room when he heard someone playing. He knew who that was. She always came earlier than the other teachers. He wasn't even sure why he came this early today. He just shrugged to himself and walked to look into the room.

Kelsi sat on the keyboard stool, and was playing the keyboard the school provided. It wasn't a cheap keyboard, from they first time she played it she knew that.

Jason smiled a little to himself. Then reluctantly started walking to where he was going before.

Sharpay smiled at Zeke who caught what almost fell out of her arms. "Thanks Zeke."

Zeke smiled and handed it to her. "No problem."

"Where are you taking me tonight?" Sharpay asked curiously.

"I was thinking the new Italian restaurant that just opened. Is that okay with you?" Zeke asked nervously, though he already new she loved Italian food.

Sharpay nodded. "That's great with me."

Zeke smiled at her again. "I'm glad."

"Is that Jason's car?" Troy asked pointing to his friend's car.

Gabriella looked at the car confused. "Jason came in early?"

"That doesn't happen." Troy said equally confused.

"Hey." Taylor said as Chad and her walked over to the two.

Troy looked at Chad and Taylor. "Jason's here early."

Taylor and Chad glanced at each other, confused.

"Why?" Chad asked. "That never happens."

Gabriella and Troy shrugged.

Taylor say Zeke and Sharpay, she waved over at them. She saw them wave back. "Ms. Darbus should be impressed."

Chad shook his head. "How the hell is she even still our boss?"

The three looked at him.

Chad looked at them confused. "What?"

Kelsi smiled to herself as she finished playing the melody on the keyboard.

Jason had walked back to the room. He clapped for a moment. "That was good."

Kelsi looked over at him surprised. She didn't think anyone was there, not that it mattered, she knew she was at the school. "Thanks Jason." She gave him a small smile.

"No problem. See you later." Jason said with a small wave as he walked out of the room.

"Need any help with things to your classroom?" Zeke asked Sharpay as they walked, seeing many things in her arms. She was having a hard time keeping the stuff up.

"That'd be nice." Sharpay let him take a few things out of her arms. "Thanks Zeke."

Zeke smiled at her. "It's not a problem."

Chad put his arm around Taylor's shoulder.

Taylor smiled at him.

Gabriella sipped her coffee and looked at the pair.

"To much P.D.A." Troy said smirking at them.

"Shut up Troy." Chad said bringing Taylor closer with the arm that was around her.

Gabriella playfully slapped Troy's arm. "Yeah, shut up Troy." She said jokingly.

Troy looked at her and chuckled.
