-Chapter 1-
Troy Bolton
Troy Bolton, a young teenager that studies in East High. Basketball player. Top 10 in the school. Son of famous former NBA star, who currently coaching East High basketball team, one of the most royal schools in United States. People might think that he's some sort of player. Like hooking up with several girls at a time. But he's completely opposite of what they thinks. He's smart, athletic, muscular and has perfect blue eyes that you couldn't resist.
---
The most important basketball tournament of the year is getting close. Troy, as the captain of East High basketball team, is up for an extra practice after school, so that they could win the title again, forth in a row. Before the practice starts, he meet up with his father, also coach of his school, Coach Jack Bolton.
"Hey, son! Good to see you here. I'm just letting you know I have some meetings after the practice with Coach Derek. Can you go home by yourself after the practice?" said Coach Bolton.
"Of course, dad! I can take care of myself. Go to your boring meetings before the big game 'arrives'. Say hi for me to Coach Derek." said Troy.
"Will do, son. You know we have a lot of preparations to do before the game. We have to make sure everything's perfect so that we can win the title,"
"Again!!!" said both of them, laughing.
"Just take care of yourself buddy!"
"Will do, Dad!" With that, Troy walks off and changes into his gym clothes, getting ready for the practice.
---
After the practice, Troy went for the showers. He waved to his dad, telling him he's going home, then walk off, and outta the school. He uses the shortcut he always uses to get back home but he senses that something OR someone is following him and he had a bad feeling about it. A VERY bad feeling.
He walks faster, trying to run away. But he couldn't. The last thing he knows is seeing a few black-suited men standing around him. He fainted. Not on purpose, of course.
---
When Troy woke up, he figures that he's in a white room with grey tiles on top of him. The room is full with computers and big screens. Almost everything is made up of glass, they are so modern, he thought.
Somebody notices him and walk towards him. Not walk. No. Definitely not. The guy seems kindda old. He's bald and has grey eyes. He don't have wrinkles like an old man should but he's on a wheelchair. The bald guy introduces himself to Troy with a kind smile.
"Troy Bolton! Nice to see you awake! My apology to you. My guards are not treating you well." He glances toward the black-suited men around the corner, just like the men he met before he fainted.
"Where am I? Who are you? What are you doing to me?" Troy glances down, hundreds of wires on his entire body, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Relax, boy. I'm Professor Eric. You are currently in a research centre under the land of Antarctica. My team and I work for the government. Searching for unusual people with special powers, like you." He gave him a warming smile but Troy was too shock with his words.
"Wha…What?! I'm in Antarctica? That's..impossible! Are you sure?!" Troy's shock expression makes the professor laughs.
"No, I'm not kidding boy. My guards fly you here from California with a special jet." Prof. Eric explains.
Troy replies "Okay. But why you get me here? I'm not somebody who has special powers. I'm sorry to say this, but you aren't having any powers too."
"My power... is kindda complicated. You can't see it with your eyes or feel it. But I know that you think all of these are crazy and think that I'm a maniac, am I correct?"
"You can read minds?" Troy asked.
"You are pretty good, young man. And yes, I can."
"Oh, I see" He's kindda impressed. Never in the whole world he thinks he would meet an old man that you can read minds and under the land of Antarctica.
"So, why am I down here?" Troy asks, again.
"Like I said, we are searching for people that have special power. And you are one of them. But different from them. You are special." Prof. Eric said while trying hard to read his mind.
Troy laughs. "Sorry, sir. But I think you got the wrong guy. I'm not a superhero. I don't have powers. If I really do, why don't I know?"
"Troy. You do have powers. You get them from your ancestors. You might not know what power is it. But you do have them. You just have to get train. Ah… That reminds me you have to meet my favourite student of all time. Gabriella. Gabriella Montez. You will get to see her tomorrow. Early in the morning. She will be your mentor."
"Professor Eric, are you serious about this? I'm pretty sure I don't have any power. My parents don't have any powers. And as far as I know, both of my grandparents don't have them too. AND you are calling a GIRL to be my mentor!? Are you kidding me?!" Troy answered.
"No, Troy. I'm very serious about this. Your power might be very useful to us when we fight crimes. We need you. The world needs you. I need you. Just believe in yourself, that you have something special in you. You will figure out what power you have very soon, only if you believe. Gabriella is not like the other girls you had met. She's special and caring but sometimes, she's very stubborn. By the way, she's my god-granddaughter."
"But could you, at least, let me inform my parents? I don't want them to get worried." Troy pleads.
"Already done, young man. And soon your parents will receive a letter by the government, to inform them where you had been and might be staying here for quite some time."
"So, you mean I'm staying here? I don't have my belongings with me. I don't have clothes. And I can't just drop out of school AND THE TOURNAMENT! I can't do that! I'm the captain!"
"Troy, this is about the safety of the world. You can't just walk away from this. Besides, you will have special clothes, designed just for you. And you will have school here too. Lessons teach by me and some other professors. But we are having a break right now, so you won't have school until next week."
"Okay." Troy look very depress.
"Troy, cheer up! You will like it here, I promise. Now, get to your room. Gabriella will meet you here tomorrow morning at 9 sharp."
"Thank you, Professor Eric. I will try my best."
"Anything for you, Troy. If you need someone to talk or having troubles fitting in , feel free to come and see me. I'll always be there for you, young man."
"Thanks and good night, sir." Troy smiles.
He was brought to a room by a guard after he greeted Prof. Eric goodnight. His room is quite far away from the lab. It's in another section of the building. And he just found out that the building is underwater, floating. This is amazing, Troy thought.
The guard show him how to open his door, which is by touching his fingers on a blue screen beside the doorknob. The screen will read his data by scanning his fingerprints and then will ask for his code. The bodyguard told him to say '796514'. And he did.
The door opens after he said the code. Troy thank the guard and went into his room. His room's wall is grey, but not too dark. The ceiling is white. He had a wide window on his right side, around the corner which you can see different building around him and aquatic animals swimming around the building. The scenery is perfect. Peaceful, he thought. Beside the window, he had a table with computer on it. There are shelves on top of the table, full with books.
Just a few metres in front of the table he can see a king-size bed with sky blue quilt on it. The headboard is silver in colour. The bed is not made of wood but some kind of element. And hard, when he tries to knock it with his hand. He had his own bathroom. Five steps will take him to the bathroom door, the right side of the bed.
Inside the bathroom has a bathtub along with a showerhead. They also have a little cupboard for you to put your toiletries and towels. His closet is just beside his bed. He had a huge closet. Inside full with special clothes design just for him, like Prof. Eric said because it had his name on it. Troy Bolton. And a code, 796514.
He locks his door and brushes his teeth before he went for bed. He's wondering what's gonna happen tomorrow with this girl, Gabriella. Gabriella Montez. He still could not believe he was sent to Antarctica because he had special power, which to him, he doesn't have any of them. Before he can think about different stuffs, he already fell into a deep slumber.
So…This is the first episode. I know it's not that nice. I'll try my best to write better. Hope you'll like it. Feel free to comment. Add some of your ideas in it, if you like.
