Disclaimer: if I owned High School Musical, Count Dorkula would be a much more appeicated character. Saddly I don't own it so Frankingeek is left in the dark.

Author's note: Here is my second chapter, but you fans can help me. I'm running out of names to have Nicki call Ryan- I need more than just Count Dorkula. So if you can think of one, tell me in your review(hint, hint). And Enjoy this chapter )

The two girls gleefully pushed open the mall doors, arms hooked and chattering as they took in their town mall.

"Wow," breathed Nicki. "It's so different!" Laughing, they ventured further into their paradise, leaving a moping Ryan trailing after them. He sighed as their laughter floated back to him over the general chatter around him. What was it with girls and shopping?

He nearly walked right into Sharpay, who had stopped suddenly next to Nicki. Simultaneously, they turned around and looked at the window of the store they'd just passed, squealing as they spotted the sign that declared the shoes were 50 off. They turned to each other and nodded before rushing straight into the store, Ryan dragging his feet and trying to get there as slowly as possible

By the time he got there, they'd already picked out at least four dozen boxes of shoes to start trying on, which they did, tossing the pairs they wanted at Ryan. Ryan, struggling to hold all the boxes, was finally starting to lose it. How many more pairs could they possibly need? Ryan thought as they stood to go find more shoes to put on. Goodness knows Sharpay already has a million!

Before he could voice such thoughts aloud, however, They two girls stood up and he inwardly groaned at the thought that they might be getting more shoes to try on. However, they slipped their own back on and started for the cash register.

Sharpay handed the cashier her credit card before turning around and seeing that Ryan was still struggling to hold all of the boxes. She huffed and rolled her eyes at Nicki, who returned the gesture.

"Come on, Ryan! We have to pay for the shoes now, so bring them over here," she said with the tone of someone who was reprimanding a misbehaving child. Grumbling, Ryan dropped the piles of shoes on the counter and sagged against it, glad he didn't have to carry it anymore.

"Don't get too comfortable, Lord Laziness, we've still got more shopping to do," Nicki said from his left. Ryan sighed for what seemed like the thousandth time that day, feeling his spirits sink lower and lower as they targeted their next store.

After a few more laborious hours of shopping, Nicki and Sharpay agreed it was time they took a break to visit the food court. They both bought salads, devouring them with gusto as they talked excitedly about their new purchases, but Ryan was too exhausted to even think about food.

"Now that we're done shopping, what should we do with the rest of Saturday?" Nicki asked her friend after swallowing her last mouthful of salad.

"Hmm," Sharpay thought for a moment before the obvious answer dawned on her, "How about we go back to my house and give each other makeovers?!?"

Ryan's face quickly gained a horrified look as the two girls squealed once again. "Please tell me I'm not involved in the makeovers!" Sharpay and Nicki both stared at him for a moment as though he were insane before looking back at each other and laughing madly.

"Is it just me, or has your brother gotten stupider?" Nicki insulted before turning back to Ryan, "Of course we don't want you involved in our makeovers, you idiot." Ryan was just about to open his mouth with a retort when he snapped it shut, deciding it was better to quit while he was ahead.

Giggling seemed to permeate the entire Evans house, and Ryan had long gone- anywhere to get away from the total girlishness.

Nicki and Sharpay sat cross-legged on Sharpay's bed, Sharpay applying strawberry-pink lip-gloss to Nicki's lips. Sitting back a bit to admire her great work, she grabbed a mirror and handed it to Nicki. "All done. You like?"

Nicki shook her head. "No, I don't like it," she said, and Sharpay gave a scoff, putting the mirror down and glaring at her friend. Nicki laughed teasingly before adding, "You didn't let me finish, Sharpay. I don't like it- I love it."

Sharpay laughed and gave her friend a playful shove., resulting in a small, laughing fight.

"So, is there anything interesting I should know before attending East High on Monday?" Nicki asked as the two friends regained their composure.

"Well, there are a few things…" Sharpay began, then giving a detailed description of all the cliques in the school, and all the drama that had gone down a few months ago- revolving around the whole Troy-Gabriella thing that still happened to bother Sharpay. When she finished, Nicki sat back and blinked for a few seconds before answering.

"Wow, that's a lot to remember."

"Yeah," Sharpay said with a shrug as the two started to paint their perfectly manicured nails. "But that's high school- what do you expect?"

Author's note: yeah this chapter was shorter than the other one but the next one will be longer. Yes we all feel bad for poor Ryan, even I feel bad for him. Don't worry he gets more importance in the story besides being a slave to Sharpay and Nicki ok maybe he won't maybe he will. But the next chapter is Nicki's first day at east high, wonder how the other wild cats will re-act to Sharpay's bff. Hope you enjoyed it. R&R )
