Lying is the Most Fun..
Chapter 1
She wasn't sure why she felt so nervous as she opened up the door, but she sure was. She looked around at the crowd of people, the mixed diversities and all of the other competition she'd have if they held a musical. She could just tell some of the girls and guys would try out. It came naturally to her, except when it came to Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez....
Sharpay looked at the piece of paper Meena had gotten the Friday before she'd arrived saying her classes in their order and her locker number. She also had a few books that Meena had given her that the office wanted her to have. A history book, a mathematic book, a novel for her English literature class, and for science a small copy of 'Scientific Dictionary for Students.' She sighed as she looked at the number on her small piece of paper. Locker Number 292. She looked around at the lockers. They all said 290. She looked at one locker. 299, 298, 297, 296, 295, 294, 293....
She looked at the locker then back to her paper. 23-1-7. She quickly twisted it to the right numbers and a small snap could be heard as she pushed up the small metal piece of the locker. She opened the door and quickly put her oversized bag in it. She took out the books she needed right away and set them in the locker. She sighed as a book dropped. Before she could grab it, another hand was putting it in her hand. "Um, Thanks." she said, looking up. She smiled at the blonde boy who looked to be about a year younger than her, but he had to be in her grade based on the fact that he was carrying a matching science book to hers. He shrugged. "No problem. Meena told me that you were new and that I should take you to your classes. She said we have the same schedule. If you don't want my help that's fine." Newt Livingston said. Sharpay smiled. "I'd like that, actually. I'm not good with finding my way around." she said, with a small smile. He smiled back, admiring how the light brightened the already light blonde hair. "Well, whenever you're ready to go..." Newt's voice drifted off as he walked around her to her other side, to locker 291.
Sharpay watched him confused as he quickly popped the locker open and tossed in his iPod Nano. "So, we're locker neighbors?" she smirked as she grabbed her pink clutch from her big bag and pushed her light blonde hair in front of her chest. She closed her locker and leaned against it, crossing one leg behind the other. Newt nodded, glancing at her. He stopped shuffling through a magazine that he found in his locker and looked at her. "Where are your books?" he asked. She smiled polietely at him and tossed her head towards her locker. "You're gonna need them." he told her. She shook her head at him, with a sigh. "No, I won't. I just flirt with the male teachers and they let me use their copy of the textbook and they tell the female teachers to do the same." she said. He gave her a look and closed his locker, but not before tossing his book into it.
"Look, um....Sorry, I didn't catch your name?" he asked.
"Sharpay Evans." she said.
"Newt Livingston," Newt changed the subject, "Anyway. Look, Sharpay, our teachers aren't gonna fall for a seventeen-year-old girl batting her eyelashes just to use their copy of the textbook." he said.
"Well," she smirked once more as Newt leaned against his locker, "we'll just have to see about that, Livingston." she said, then walked past him towards the science room which she had seen on her way towards her locker. Newt smirked as she walked past him. She might be out of my league, he began to think, but she might be worth it.
XOXO
Newt glared at Sharpay, whose smirk (she seemed to smirk a lot) was directed at him.
"Now, Sharpay, be careful with my book, okay?" the teacher said and walked back to his seat. She nodded as he left. Cory Baxter, meanwhile, was trying to get Newt's attention.
"So then she's like, 'Well, my dog ate it last week!'" Cory burst into laughter and Newt looked at him with a confused look.
"Dude, what are you going on about?" Newt asked, raising an eyebrow. Cory rolled his eyes, then noticed that Newt's attention was turned-once more-towards the new blonde classmate they had
"First answer me something: Why do you keep looking over at the new girl, Sharpette?" Cory asked, unaware her name was Sharpay.
"Her name is Sharpay, not Sharpette." Newt said, now glaring at Cory.
"Dude, do you like her or something because if you do maybe you should-" Cory began but was soon interrupted by his blonde accomplice.
"Forget about it? Yeah. Already ahead of you. She's too good for me." Newt said, after realizing once the period started that she was so smart he wouldn't be able to understand her at all if they started to date.
"No, I was gonna tell you to go for it because I don't think I want to re-tell these long jokes of mine for you to understand!" Cory said, rolling his eyes, which Newt too rolled his eyes.
"Dude, she'd never go out with me. I'm just not at all the type of guy she'd go out with. Can't you tell? She'd go out with someone....funny, and popular, and cute...Okay, sexy." he rolled his eyes once more. "And not someone whose in a garage band that won't get hired to do anything." Newt continued. Cory glared at him this time.
"What makes you think we won't get hired to do anything?" Cory asked. Newt looked at him.
"Hello. We've been a band for nearly a year and the only place we've ever played is the Liberry," Newt pointed out.
"Truedat, Truedat," Cory said, nodding.
"So, she won't go out with me. It's final." Newt said, then realized that the pair of long legs he was witnessing getting closer were attached to the subject of their conversion. Newt's eyes went from her thighs to her chocolate brown eyes. "Sharpay...Hi." Newt said, with a sigh.
"Hey, Newt." Sharpay said, sitting on his desk. Cory looked at Newt shocked that the new girl, that Cory did admit in his head was pretty fine, was actually paying attention to Newt. Meena and Cory's Newt, as in Newton Livingston. "So, will you walk me to History class? I really need to get there so I can introduce myself and ask the teacher if I can borrow his book." Sharpay said, with another smirk that Newt found to be irresistable.
"Sure, I guess." Newt said, with a blank expression written acrossed his face to cover up the fact that he found her so amazing. Sharpay smiled.
"Okay, bye. Oh and Meena told me that your name is Newton...Do you think I could call you that?" Sharpay asked, seeing that Newt didn't seem very interesting or appealing to her.
"Um, I guess so." Newt said, blankly.
"Well, toodles!" Sharpay giggled and waved at him by moving a few of her fingers as she hopped off his desk and walked back to her seat.
Cory was astonished as she walked away. "Did you see that?! She just asked you to walk her to History! That's big." Cory said as he patted his best friend's shoulder.
"She doesn't even know where the class is. It would make sense that she'd ask me. I offered to walk her to her classes, anyway." Newt informed Cory who just nodded. But he did still think that it was kind of big. No one ever asked to call Newt by his real name and that made Cory believe maybe Newt was getting more than just a new student to show around.
XOXO
Sharpay caught up with Newt as class ended. She found him hard to resist, just as Newt found her. "So, Newt...I mean, Newton, what are the rest of the teachers like here?" she asked. Newt shrugged. He never really payed attention during classes. He was more busy trying to think up song lyrics or music to a new song he had running through his head.
"I don't know really. I don't usually pay attention during any classes." he shrugged. "Except creative writing, sometimes." he said, walking next to her, a little unsure about whether letting her call him Newton was a good idea or not.
"Oh, that's interesting." she said, nodding. "I love creative writing, especially poems. I usually change poems I write into songs and just change the words I write." she said. "Once I wrote one that I inspired after Romeo and Juliet. It was my favorite song. I lost it though." she sighed. He nodded as he listened to her.
"That's cool," he smiled, "but I'm not really into...you know, Romeo and Juliet. I almost played Romeo in a school play two years ago." Sharpay smiled.
"That's interesting. I'm not really one for school plays. I'm more of a musical person." she said, proudly. "I've starred in nearly all of my schools' productions of any musicals they've ever had." Sharpay added. Newt couldn't help but smile. "Musicals are cool. Really cool, actually. They're the only thing I'll let my mom take me to that I won't snore during." he smiled at her, finding himself getting sidetracked by her eyes, so he quickly looked straight forward. She didn't like that he did because she was looking into his blue eyes, but it was fine though-she didn't mind at all.
"Um....Newt....I was thinking...." Sharpay started, "do you maybe uh...want to go out tonight? Or like...study, or something?" she asked. Newt quickly flung his head in her direction, accidently letting his hair smack him in his eyes.
"Sure. There's this great place in town. It's on South Particin Street. It's called the Liberry. They serve smoothies and shakes and they have live music, too." Newt said. "Sometimes we play there." he added.
"We?" Sharpay questioned, confused.
"Oh, me, Meena and Cory. We have a band called DC3. I'm surprised Meena didn't mention it." Newt said. "Want me to pick you up?" he asked.
"NO!" she nearly screamed. She didn't want him to know that she was living with Meena. He could tell she is rich, or was rich in this case and she didn't want to wreck that. She could tell he was-by the way the Rolex on his wrist shined in the light, and the fact that he was wearing a Calvin Clein cologne that cost nearly five-seventy-five dollars a bottle-very rich, to say the least. "I mean, I just...I'd rather be dropped off." she said, non-chalantly. He nodded, not sure why she freaked out, but to be honest? He didn't care very much.
"Well, it's a date then." Newt smirked and held out his arm in the direction of the history classroom. Sharpay smiled at him and walked into the class with Newt close behind her.
