One Week Later
New Jersey

"Nate, man! Whats Up?"

"Hey Shane" Nate laughed as he stepped off the school bus and his best friend ran at him. As they walked Nate high-fived random people he was pretty sure he'd never met before. He was the school poster boy and EVERYONE wanted to be his friend. "Happy New Year everyone!"

"Yeah, Happy New Year! Its gonna be a happy Connect 3 new year!" Shane exclaimed refering to their band. " In 2 weeks were going to the Hollywood Records to get signed! With you, rocking the execs to infinity and beyond!"

"CONNECT 3!" the group of students exclaimed.

"What Band?" Shane yelled and Nate laughed.

"CONNECT 3!"

"Oh" Shane, Nate, Jason and Sanders called as Tess Tyler strut by them with her pink cellphone.

"I guess the ice princess has returned from the north pole!" Sanders laughed.

"Yeah, she probably spent the holiday the same as she always does" Shane said.

"How's that?" Nate asked.

"Shopping for mirrors!" Shane exclaimed and they all laughed.

As they walked away Mitchie came out from behind a sign.

"Ugh, behold the zoo animals, heralding the new year" she said in an annoyed tone to some of her other 'smart people' friends. "How tribal?"

"Mom, my stomach hurts and I have a head ache" Caitlyn Gellar sighed as she walked down a school hallway that was very unfamiliar.

"Your always nervous on your first day at a new school." Mrs Gellar smiled. "You'll do great, you always do. Plus, my company promised that I cant be transferred again until you graduate."

"I've read ALL your impressive transcripts, poppet. I expect your light will shine very brightly here at EHPAS" Principal Brown smiled handing Caitlyn a folder.

"I dont want to be the schools freaky genius girl again" Caitlyn exclaimed worriedly. She was extremely talented in mixing and producing music, but she was even smarter.

"Just be Caitlyn" Mrs Gellar responded hugging her.

"Right this way poppet" Principal Brown smiled leading her down a hallway away from her mother.

"Do you remember the night before?" Sander asked Nate.

They were in homeroom all standing around talking. The teacher sat at the front of the class on a ridiculous looking stage.

"No, not at all...All I remember is like...pink jelly" Nate responded.

Sanders laughed and walked toward his seat.

"Excuse me" a quiet girl Nate had never seen before muttered with her back to him. Jason moved out of the way so she could get past.

"Hi Nate!" Tess exclaimed in her cotton candy sweet voice as she blocked his view of the new girl.

"Hey" Nate muttered trying to look around her as she giggled flirtatiously.

The bell rang and the teacher Ms Darbus started talking.

"I trust you all had splendid holidays" she said. "Oh, and be sure to check the hallways for new activities...right Mr Green?" she asked as Nate had his back to her. "Especially our winter musical..." she started and everyone knew she was far from stopping her speil there.

"You okay?" Shane said giving him a weird look. Nate muttered an affirmative.

"There is also a sign up for next weeks scholastic decathlon competition. Club president Mitchie Torres here can take all your questions" Ms Darbus said gesturing to Mitchie who waved at everyone.

That cant be her, can it? Nate asked himself. He pulled out his cell phone and searched through it....Caitlyn Gellar. He pressed call and suddenly a ringing was heard throughout the class. Nate's head snapped back towards where the new girl was sitting.

"AH! The Cell Phone" Ms Darbus exclaimed as Tess, Ryan and Caitlyn pulled out their cells.

"Is it yours?" Tess asked her twin brother who sat behind her.

"Nope, yours?" Tess shook her head no.

Nate? Why is he calling me? Caitlyn thought looking at the caller id.

"Tess, Ryan, cell phones...I will see you in detention" Ms Darbus said holding out a bucket for the cell phones to be dropped into. "We have no tolerance for cell phones here. And welcome to East High PA Ms Gellar. We will get to know one another in detention." Ms Darbus said sticking the bucket towards Caitlyn as she dropped it inside. "Oh, Mr Green...I see your phone was involved as well, so I will see you in detention as well" she said as she spotted Nate with his phone out.

"No, No, No...thats not even a possibility Ms Darbus, your honor. You see we have band practice-" Shane exclaimed.

"Oh, that will be 15 minutes for you too Mr Grey, count 'em" Ms Darbus replied.

"That could be a bit hard for him, since he probably cant count that high" Mitchie laughed to her friend.

"Mitchie Torres, 15 minutes!" Ms Darbus yelled. Mitchie gasped. "Holidays are over people! Way over! Now, anymore comments, questions?...Jason?"

"So, how were your holidays Ms Darbus?" Everyone groaned. "What?"

The bell rang and everyone stood up and left the class room. As Nate excited he stopped outside the door waiting for Caitlyn to come out.

"See you in detention, man." Shane sighed.

"See you later man, its all good" Nate said doing a complicated hand shake with him.

Caitlyn was the last one out of the class and when Nate saw her walking away he ran towards her.

"Hey!" he called touching her shoulder.

"I don't-"

"Believe it-"

"Me-"

"Neither...but how?"

"My moms company transferred her here to New Jersey. I cant believe you live here. I looked for you at the lodge front desk" Caitlyn laughed.

"We had to leave first thing the next day" Nate whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" Caitlyn asked looking around.

"What? Oh, uh, well...my friends know about the snowboarding...but I haven't quite told them about the singing" Nate laughed at himself.

"Too much for them to handle?"

"No, it was...cool...but my friends, ugh, its not my thing. That was like a, a different person, you know?" Nate rambled on as Caitlyn began turning and walking down a new hallway. He followed her quickly.

"So, ugh, anyway...welcome to East High PA"

"East High PA?"

"Yeah, East High Performing Arts School? You had to know it was a performing arts school...right?"

"Oh, yeah...I just didn't know the acronym..."

"Well...now that you've met Ms Darbus, I bet you cant wait to sign up for that!" Nate laughed pointing at a Musical sign up sheet. Caitlyn giggled.

"I wont be signing up for anything for a while...I just want to get to know the school....but if you sign up,I'd consider coming to the show..." Caitlyn joked.

"Yeah, yeah...thats completely impossible"

"Whats impossible Nate?" Tess asked coming out of no where. "I didn't think that word would be in your vocabulary" Tess laughed then looked at Caitlyn. "Oh, so nice of you to show a new class mate around..."

Nate and Caitlyn looked at each other then watched as Tess wrote her name across the whole sign up sheet.

"Oh, were you going to sign up to?" Tess asked looking at the two who were staring at her. "My brother and I have stared in all the schools productions, and we really welcome new comers. There are a lot of supporting roles in the show. I'm sure we could find something for you!"

"Oh, no no. I was just looking at all the bulletin boards...lots going on at this school!" Caitlyn laughed. "Nice penmanship"

Nate waved at Caitlyn as she walked of to her next class.

"So Nate, I missed you during vacation...what did you do?" Tess asked stopping him as he began walking away.

"Oh, you know...guitar...snowboarding...more guitar..." Nate nodded.

"Ah, whens the big interview?"

"Ugh, 2 weeks!" Nate smiled.

"You are so dedicated...just like me!" Tess giggled. "I hope you come watch me in the musical...promise?" Nate nodded reluctantly. "TOODLES!" Tess called to Nate's back.

"Toodles..." Nate sighed and walked away.

Troy = Nate
Gabriella = Caitlyn
Chad = Shane
Sharpay = Tess
Taylor = Mitchie
Zeke = Sanders
Jason = Jason

And Ms Darbus and Ryan are the same as in HSM.
