Kelsi woke up the next morning to see the sun shining brightly through her window, she sighed deeply and snuggled closer to her pillow. Thinking about last night being twirled around the dance floor by Ryan she could still feel his arms around her, she knew her stay here wasn't going to be as bad as she thought. She got out of her bed, and made her way to the bathroom to get ready. She made her way to her parents room finding them still asleep, she wrote them a quick note and made her way to the main building where she would find all of her friends. She walked through the dining room finding Max yelling at Chad and Troy who only looked down at their feet, but Kelsi could tell that they weren't upset at being yelled at they were trying not to laugh, as Max finished and had walked away Troy and Chad broke into hysterics.
"What's so funny?" Kelsi asked as Chad and Troy went back to setting up for breakfast
"Well Mr. boss man came in here to yell at us for being two seconds late." Chad said as he put a basket of muffins out
"Yeah, apparently he's as bad as Mr. Fulton." Troy smiled and handed Kelsi a blueberry muffin, "what are you doing up so early anyway?" Kelsi took a bite out of her muffin, Zeke must have baked them cause nobody else she knew used coconut in the mix.
"Well, I woke up early and my parents are still asleep. Thought I'd head down here to see if I can help with anything" Kelsi smiled
"Come on Kels, you're a guest. You're going to have to start acting like one" Chad answered grabbing a muffin for himself
"I know, I've never been one to be pampered. Anyway I like hanging out with you guys, it's better then being with the snobs that are around here" Kelsi said swallowing a big bite of her muffin
"Well get used to it, otherwise I'll have the girls tie you down while you get a pedicure" Troy joked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryan woke up that morning, feeling the same sense of delight that he had twirling Kelsi around the dance floor, for someone who didn't like dancing she was sure light on her feet. He wanted to sleep in like he usually did when his parents owned of this place but by the sounds of his cell phone that was ringing for the fifth time this morning Sharpay wasn't going to let him. He got up and quickly texted Sharpay that he was up and would meet her in the kitchen in ten minutes, he got ready for the day putting on a pair of jeans a black t-shirt and a nice hat, he left his room and headed out for the kitchen. He walked in to see Kelsi sitting with Troy and Chad laughing over something
"Good morning." He smiled
"Hey Ryan!" Chad said smiling at his friend. "Sleep well?"
"Like a baby, what's going on?" He asked sitting down next to Kelsi
"Well, we were just discussing how the little boss man has a crush on our Kelsi here." Troy said tossing Ryan a muffin
"Really? That little pipsqueak?" Ryan asked taking a bite out of the muffin
"Yeah, in fact that's how I ended up at the party last night." Kelsi blushed, she was about to ask Ryan about more dance lessons when Mr. Fulton entered the room
"I'm pretty sure the only member in this room right now is Ms. Neilson." he huffed, "Mr. Bolton, Danforth, Evans. Don't you three have some work to do?" They all rushed out of the room smiling and waiving at Kelsi as they left. She gave a quick glance to Fulton and was about to leave when Max made his presence known
"Hey dad!" He said smiling his creepy smile at Kelsi as she caught his eye, Kelsi was quickly looking for the exit when her parents arrived in the dining room
"Max!" Her mom cried as she saw him "Will you be joining us for breakfast?" She asked as her dad threw an arm around the young man
"Sure" he smiled "Come on Kelsi" he grinned taking Kelsi's arm and leading her towards a table. They all ate their breakfast and Kelsi was trying to find a way to escape when her dad said the words she dreaded the most
"Kels" he said putting down his coffee cup. "Your mother and I are going to take some dance lessons with that kid you go to school with, Bryan is it?" he asked smiling, Kelsi rolled her eyes
"It's Ryan dad" she answered
"Ryan, that's right. Apparently him and his sister are really good dancers, why don't you join us" he finished
"I thought I'd spend some time in the pool today dad" she answered back hoping he'd drop it
"Come on Kels" Max said and for once Kelsi hated the use of her nickname "It will be fun, I'll join you three. Besides I've been known to be the Fred Astaire at my school." Kelsi knew she wasn't going to win this time and finally relented
"Sounds great" she smiled but groaned inwardly
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They walked into the dance studio to find Sharpay and Ryan in one of their legendary fights, Kelsi laughed to herself as Ryan basically flipped Sharpay off, and walked towards them
"Mr. and Mrs. Nelison welcome, I understand you want to learn the waltz for the social tonight?" Ryan said trying to be as charming as possible
"Yes Bryan, Kelsi is always telling us how great you can dance, we just had to come see it ourselves." Kelsi's mom said shaking Ryan's hand. Ryan winced a bit when Kelsi's mom mistook his name and was about to say something when Max walked in
"Ahh, there you are" he bellowed wrapping an arm around Kelsi, she felt the blood rush to her cheeks and was about to say something when Ryan grabbed her hand and pulled her to the dance floor.
"Well, since Kelsi helped me out a lot with the last musicale we had at school she can help me show you the basic steps" Ryan said smiling at Kelsi who was silently thanking him. Ryan nodded his head and had Sharpay start up the music.
A few hours and many sore toes later (mostly Ryan's) Kelsi's parent's and Max left the room. Ryan tossed Kelsi a bottle of water and sat down on one of the chairs.
"That was fun" he said sarcastically
"Yeah especially the part where Max had his hands all over Kelsi" Sharpay snides
"Yeah, I know" Kelsi said "I don't know whats up with that guy, he seems to think I'm his girlfriend or something"
"Well he thinks that way about all women Kelsi, just be careful" Sharpay growled as she walked out of the room
"Whats with her?" Kelsi asked as Sharpay stomped out of the room
"Look, don't tell anyone I told you this." Ryan said looking her straight in the eyes "A month ago, her and Max had a fling"
"A fling?" Kelsi asked in confusion
"Yeah, apparently it was pretty serious. Then for no reason he just dumped her" Ryan said looking down at his feet
"No reason behind it?" Kelsi asked
"Not that I know of, or at least not that she'll tell me about" Ryan answered
"Well there's got to be a reason, I mean he's a creep but he cant be that bad" Kelsi reasoned. Ryan smiled as Kelsi winced at the thought of defending Max
"Well, I'm going to go talk to her" Ryan said "See you later?"
"Yeah, besides I'm sure my parents are upset that I'm not on Max's arm right now" Kelsi joked
"All right I'll see you later then" Ryan winked as he walked towards the direction Sharpay stormed off in
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay spill," Ryan said finally catching up to Sharpay in the kitchen that was unusually empty
"What are you talking about Ryan?" Sharpay asked innocently
"You've been moody ever since we got here whats up?" He asked blocking her exit
"It's nothing, now let me go" Sharpay said trying to barge past him
"Come on Shar, I'm your twin you can't bullshit me" Ryan argued. Sharpay looked as though she was about to either yell or punch him in the nose, but broke down at the sight of his stubbornness
"You're right, something did happen with Max and I" Sharpay said through sobs
"Did he hurt you or something?" Ryan asked holding onto her as she cried
"He knocked me up" Sharpay yelled out startling Ryan
"I'll kill that slimy little bastard" Ryan said about to storm off to find Max
"No don't I beg of you, we need this job Ryan" Sharpay said holding onto Ryan's arm
"I don't care" Ryan spat back
"Please Ryan, let me handle this" Sharpay pleaded
"Sharpay, don't do anything stupid now" Ryan answered, Sharpay just smiled at him and walked away. Ryan was about to follow her out of the room when his cell phone rang. He opened it up and stuck to his ear "Yeah" he answered still annoyed with Sharpay's announcement
"Mr. Evans this is Mrs. Kelly from the Quake resort, Mr. Fulton had told me that you and your sister were excellent performers and insisted that you come and put on a performance for the people staying here." The lady answered
"Wow this is amazing," Ryan gasped
"I'm willing to pay you and your sister 200 dollars for one nights performance" Mrs Kelly said
"Yeah, we'll do it." Ryan answered almost jumping up and down
"All right we'll see you and your sister in two weeks, Mr. Fulton will give you directions. See you then" she finished hanging up. Ryan sighed heavily and set off on his search for Sharpay.

It was a really nice night for the social, and Taylor did an awesome job with the decorations. Kelsi was standing up against a wall watching everyone including her parents dance when she heard his dreaded voice
"Kels," Max exclaimed "Why aren't you out there dancing?"
"Oh, I was just waiting for a good song," Kelsi said not looking him in the eyes
"Well, save me a dance I have to go talk to Ryan apparently Sharpay has been missing all night, and people have been asking to dance with her." He smiled walking towards Ryan who was leading a older lady across the dance floor. He tapped Ryan on the shoulder and Ryan quietly rolled his eyes before turning to face him
"What is it Max?" Ryan asked a little annoyed
"Where is your sister?" He asked bluntly "I have half of the people here asking where she's at"
"She needed a break so I told her to go lay down, now if you don't mind I was teaching Mrs. Fish here the tango" Ryan answered turning back to his dance partner
"Well just as long as she doesn't make a habit of it," Max spat before walking back towards Kelsi. Ryan tried everything he could to not rush over towards him and knock the daylights out of him. Max sauntered up to Kelsi and grabbed her hand "Come on let's go for a walk." Kelsi tried to object but her parents came towards them
"Go on Kels, this is boring anyway" her mother said pushing Kelsi towards Max, Kelsi took one last longing look at Ryan hoping he would save her, but he was being pulled into the arms of another woman. So she sighed in defeat and before she knew it she was being whisked away. They walked for a while and ended up at the piano. Kelsi took a long look at it and thought of wanting to play it when Max just took a seat on the bench and started plunking out some horrible song.
"Wrote this a few summers ago, while I was interning at a music station," he said as he continued to play. "So I hear that you're not to bad at writing too"
"Oh I just do a few things here and there" Kelsi said strumming her fingers on the piano top looking for a way to leave.
"Aw, come on Kels play me something" he begged, Kelsi tried to find a way out of it but it was no use for one she couldn't wait to get her hands on that piano but she wanted to do it while her friends were around not this creep. She sat down and put her fingers to the keys and played the first song that popped into her head "What I've been Looking for". She was finding herself immersed in the music thinking about Ryan and him performing it with Sharpay and how goofy he looked. "What's that called?" Max asked breaking her from her thoughts
"What I've been Looking for" Kelsi answered "The school I go to used it in a show we put on in our Junior year"
"It sounds great" Max said scooting closer to her
"I really should go" Kelsi said trying to put some distance between them. "I'm sure my parents are looking for me"
"Kels, they know you're with me. It's all right" Max said tucking a stray hair behind her ear
"Yeah, but" Kels was about to argue when all of a sudden Max kissed her. Kelsi felt like screaming and vomiting at the same time, she punched him in the gut and ran off towards the kitchen. She was hoping to find her friends in there but it was empty, she yelled out in anger and stood there hoping it helped
"Feel better?" Someone asked from behind the refrigerator door
"Sharpay?" Kelsi asked "I thought you were laying down"
"I was, but I was hungry" Sharpay answered closing the door. "Want anything?" Kelsi sighed and sat down on one of the chairs in there
"No, thanks" she answered
"What's wrong?" Sharpay asked "You look like someone just stole your hat"
"Max" she answered and Sharpay just shook her head "No need to say anymore"
"He's such a creep, and my parents think that he's the son they never had." Kelsi rambled, "and to top it all off he kissed me"
"Kelsi, let me just tell you one thing. Most of the guys around here think just cause they have a big bank account they can do whatever they feel like, especially Max. It would be in your best interest just to get rid of him" Sharpay said playing with the food in front of her
"Thanks, Sharpay" Kelsi said smiling at her "I better go before I get you in trouble again." Kelsi finished ready to walk out when she noticed Sharpay looked like she was crying. "You going to be okay?" Sharpay smiled her signature smile
"I'm just fine" she lied
"Uh huh, and that's why you look like someone just ran over Boi?" Kelsi joked
"Don't worry about it Kels, just go back to your dance" Sharpay snapped as she walked out of the room. Kelsi followed her out and was about to say something when Sharpay collapsed
"Shar!" She yelled, trying to get her up Troy and Gabby were walking by and saw Kelsi over Sharpay
"What happened?" Gabriella asked
"I don't know we were talking and she collapsed" Kelsi answered as Troy picked her up
"I'll take her back to her room" Troy said setting off towards the dorms
"Ryan" Kelsi said quickly running back towards where the social was being held, she made her way through the people dancing to find Ryan and tapped him on the shoulder "Something is wrong with Sharpay" Kelsi whispered into his ear, Ryan let go of his dance partner and ran out of the dance hall with Kelsi hot on his heels."What's going on?" Kelsi asked as Ryan stormed towards Sharpay's room
"She's pregnant" Ryan shot back behind him
"Pregnant, but how?" Kelsi asked stopping dead in her tracks stunned. Ryan wanted to say who the creep was that knocked up his sister but knowing Sharpay wouldn't like her problems being broad casted to the others
"Don't worry about it" Ryan spat and ran towards Sharpay's room. They walked inside finding Sharpay sitting up and talking to Troy and Gabriella
"You should go to a hospital" Gabriella said handing Sharpay a glass of water
"I'm fine don't worry about it" Sharpay answered taking a sip "I'm just tired, nothing else"
"Gabriella is right Shar" Ryan said sitting down next to her "You should do it for..."
"Don't you dare" Sharpay cut him off
"They're going to find out sooner or later" Ryan said
"Fine why don't you just sky write it." Sharpay put her arms up in defeat "Sharpay got knocked up by Max the creep." Everyone was shocked they couldn't believe their friend was pregnant
"Shar" Gabriella began "You should go, there could be something wrong with the baby." Sharpay laughed looking up at Gabriella like she had grown an extra head
"You act like I care" she spat out. "I'll be fine, just let me go." she finished getting ready to stand up, but her legs told a different story as she suddenly felt weak again.
"All right, that's enough" Ryan declared "I'm taking you to the hospital." Ryan nodded to Troy who picked up Sharpay, as they walked out to Ryan's car. Kelsi, Gabriella and Troy watched helplessly as Ryan drove off with Sharpay
"I can't believe this" Troy said shaking his head
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kelsi woke up the next morning and after getting dressed the only place she wanted to go was to Sharpay's cabin. She ran as fast as she could almost knocking over an elderly couple, she knocked on Sharpay's door and was greeted by Ryan
"How is she?" Kelsi asked trying to catch her breath
"The doc says she fine, she just needs to eat more." Ryan answered letting her in. Kelsi saw Sharpay laying on her bed reading a magazine
"Unfortunately the jerk wont let me do any strenuous activities" Sharpay said angrily flipping a page
"It's okay Shar, we'll figure something out" Ryan said sitting down
"But you need a partner otherwise we're not going to be able to help mom and dad pay rent this month Ryan" Sharpay cried putting down her magazine
"Well cant someone else fill in?" Kelsi asked
"That would be great but Johnny and Penny are booked solid with dance lessons all week to fill in for Sharpay" Sharpay said angrily
"How bout Kelsi?" Ryan asked as Sharpay laughed
"Ha! Kelsi? That's rich Ryan" Sharpay snorted
"I mean come on who knows the music better then Kelsi?" Ryan retorted, Kelsi laughed she wasn't a dancer
"I can barley waltz" Kelsi cut in
"You heard her Ryan, she can't dance I wont allow it" Sharpay yelled out crossing her arms
"Well I can teach anyone to dance look at Chad" Ryan smiled confidently "So you're in Kels" Ryan finished walking out of the room leaving a stunned Kelsi and Sharpay
