Dedicated to someone is now afraid to look at me, let alone look me in the eye now. I have to admit it's rather amusing.

I quite obviously don't own the Albuquerque airport. If I did I wouldn't live a few states away.

So I've come to the conclusion that I should make this story longer. For one thing I have a lot of plot twists and Alyssa thinks I should make it longer lol. Plus I get to write possibly about Albuquerque, a place that I love, and possibly has the most awesome food court in their mall that the world has ever seen.

Cheers and Chasers

Albuquerque, New Mexico

East High School

Gabriella, Troy, Taylor, and Chad all were sitting at a small round table in the library that was just big enough for the four of them. They all had a huge government test the next day and were studying for it. Well Gabriella and Taylor were studying while trying to keep Chad and Troy studying. Troy would've been fine studying, but Chad will not be denied when he's bored.

"Paper football!" Chad whispered loudly making Troy look up from his book. The two of them were sitting across from each other. Chad flicked the football at Troy, who had made goal posts with his hands. It went through the 'goal posts' much to Chad's pleasure.

"Touch down!" Chad exclaimed in a very loud whisper, putting his arms above his head. Both Gabriella and Taylor rolled their eyes. Gabriella then proceeded to take the paper football away from Troy while Taylor hit Chad upside the head.

"Ow!"

"Gabiiii…. why'd you take the ball?"

"It's paper Troy. He'll probably make another one within five minutes." Gabriella responded putting it in her pocket and looking back at her notes.

"You two need to learn how to keep your mind on what you're studying." Taylor replied in a whisper.

"Hey I was studying, but Chad keeps distracting me." Troy responded forgetting to whisper, bring the librarian right over.

"Hey!" Chad responded also not whispering.

"Mr. Bolton and Mr. Danforth, do I need to kick you two out? Please stay quiet!"

"Sorry." The both mumbled in unison.

"Hello Wildcats. I come baring invitations for you all." Whispered Ryan Evans coming up behind Gabriella with Sharpay in tow. The two of them grabbed chairs from an empty near by table and squeezed them in on either side of Gabriella.

"We're never going to get enough studying done." Taylor whispered rubbing her temples.

"Don't worry we won't stay long. We wouldn't want to take up your precious studying time." Sharpay responded. She may be on halfway good terms with her brother's friends, but she's still Sharpay.

"So what kind of invitation is it?" Chad asked excitedly, glad for any excuse not to study.

Ryan handed them each a light blue envelope with their last names on it. They all opened it to find a light blue, dark blue, silver, white glittery, and snowflake covered invitation.

Dear Friends,

We invite you and your immediate families to join us at our ski lodge just outside of Durango, Colorado for the Christmas and New Year holidays. We will be leaving on Saturday, the 15th of December from Albuquerque. You will be picked up by limo at your home at 10 AM and brought to Albuquerque International Sunport Airport. From there you will join us on our jet to fly to Durango. We will fly back on Saturday, the 5th of January. For anymore information please contact Ryan. Also, R.S.V.P. to him.

Love,

The Evans Family

"Our parents also invited some of their close friends and some of our family, so it will be a full house. The lodge isn't accepting any reservations from anyone we didn't invite." Ryan whispered smiling at them all after they had finished reading.

"We have to meet our new aunt and her kids too, our uncle got remarried. From the look of her and her children in pictures it's very apparent that he actually married her for love." Sharpay said disgusted and grimacing.

"Shar…I'm sure she's nice." Ryan said leaning forward and looking at his sister.

"Ry, ew, hello! Did you see what she and her son looked like? Gross!" Sharpay replied, also leaning forward. Gabriella felt rather trapped sitting between them. Ryan rolled his eyes at his sister.

"Whatever you say Shar."

"Exactly. Tootles." She replied standing up and walking away, letting Ryan put her chair back.

"Thanks Ryan." Gabriella said as he walked away. He waved in acknowledgement.

"So… this should be interesting." Troy said once the twins had gotten out of earshot.

"Yup, to put it mildly." Gabriella replied looking back at her notes again.

"Can we get back to studying? This test is twenty five percent of our grade tomorrow!" Taylor whispered as Chad mimicked her. Unfortunately for him she saw.

So FYI I don't plan on updating for probably a week, too much to do. My finals are this week and over half of my friends will be home from school. I'm excited! Ha and kudos to anyone who knows the song the chapter was named after.
