Chapter Two

The next day, I walked into East High with my best friend walking next to me. I was wearing a short-sleeved, red, shirt with a small capital E on the upper, left side. My faded jeans fell just to the floor, and covered most of my black clogs. My hair was pulled into a high pony- something that I haven't done since I was little.

Taylor had a headband in, holding back her thick, wavy, brown hair. She was wearing an off-white tank top dress, which came to a V in the front, and fell just below her knees. Taylor's sandals, also off-white, crossed just before the open toe, and had a heel that was about an inch high.

I carried my red and white tote bag through the crowds of students getting reacquainted after the long summer break. "Oh. My. God!" I heard, "You look amazing!" "Where did you get your outfit? I love it!"

Taylor followed behind me, her black and red backpack slung over her shoulders. I stopped at the open doorway to Ms. Darbus's classroom. I looked back at her, and gave her a weak smile, which she returned. "It'll be fine," Taylor reassured me walking into the room.

I took a deep breath, and took a step towards the door, but was cut off by an average-height blond. "Hey! Watch where you're going."

The girl turned and looked at me. "Sorry," she said coldly, turning and starting to walk away.

"Wait- Sharpay!" I called after her.

She came back to me, a totally fake smile on her face. "What?" She snapped at me, placing her manicured hands on her hips.

"I really don't want what happened last year to affect this year," I started.

"What happened?" She asked twirling a piece of hair with her index finger as a couple of football players walked by on their way to homeroom.

"I took your spot in the winter musical. I don't want that to affect this year." I explained. "In any way."

"O-Kay," Sharpay said slowly, turning and strutting into the classroom, like she owned the place.

I stared after her, and when I heard the warning bell a couple seconds later, I went into the room and sat down at my desk in the back.

"Welcome back to a wonderful school year!" Ms. Darbus began as the final bell rang. "Was that a cell phone?" She asked sternly.

"No, Ms. Darbus. That was the final bell," Kelsi Nielsen replied.

"Oh, okay. Anyway, as I was saying, this school year brings many new opportunities. The fall musical will be Annie…"

I stopped listening, and turned my attention to the back of Troy Bolton's, dirty blond head. Oh, he's so hot! Especially with his new haircut! Oh! I saw, then that Sharpay dropped a note on Troy's desk, and longingly put her hand on his. Oh that girl makes me so mad!

"… And as always, you can audition for singles or pairs. See me with more information…" Ms. Darbus droned on about the musical.

As she continued her lecture, I silently pulled out my schedule, and studied it. First, I have Latin first, and then I go to Chemistry. Yay! I thought. Two fun classes in a row!

Just then, the bell rung, signaling the end of homeroom, and everyone gathered up their bags, and headed to their classes.

(A/N: So as you can tell, I've decided to continue this! I feel like it has a lot of potential… But, unlike all the other fanfics I've written, this one hasn't been previously written in a notebook somewhere… So, I don't exactly have a plan of where this is going to go… Anyway, I hope you liked it!)
