Chapter 7: Unexpected Game!

"What?" Mr. Bolton, Jack shouted in shocked. "Unexpected game? What's that?"

"Yes jack it also shocked me at first" Mr. Matsui, East High's principal told the shocked coach. "But it's against the West High"

"But why didn't you tell me before?" Jack asked.

"Because I only knew it earlier" Mr. Matsui answered.

"But when is this game?"

"Next week. Don't you think the boys will be ready for it?"

"Yeah they are ready for anything"

"Good! I want them fit and practiced for this special game that happened for the first time in East High!"

Gabriella saw Troy fixing his locker so she approached her.

"Um… hey!" she greeted with a smile on her face.

"Oh Hi Gabby" Troy greeted back, looked at her in the moment and back to fixing his things.

"Oh… um… aa… do you want me to um… help you?" she suggested.

"Um no thanks I can do this myself" Troy said taking some books and moving them to another place. "And I'm kind a finish"

"Oh aa…" but before Gabriella can finish her sentence Sharpay approached them.

"Gabriella! Troy" She greeted. "Gabriella, Ms. Darbus want you to go to the auditorium before homeroom, and I think it's now" She said.

"Oh… um ok" Gabriella said "Bye Troy…Sharpay" she said before she headed to the auditorium. Troy just nod and Sharpay fake smiled at her.

No kiss… on the cheeks and no good bye Gabriella thought. Maybe Taylor's right.

Sharpay will just walk away troy to her own locker before he stopped her.

"Hey! Um… I have fun yesterday" Troy smiled.

"Well at least we've memorized our lines" Sharpay smiled back.

"Yeah" Troy smiled. He saw the team coming towards them. "Well… um… see you in homeroom Sharpay." Before he went to the guys he kissed Sharpay on the cheeks. Sharpay gasped on the sudden action but when she looked on Troy's place or spot, he wasn't there.

…………

"Troy, buddy, is that the ice queen with you in your locker earlier?" Chad asked his bestfriend. They're walking to homeroom, just the two of them.

"Ha… um… you mean Sharpay" Troy said. Chad raises his eyebrow but nodded. "Oh, um… yeah"

"Why? You two bonding together?" Chad chuckled.

"Huh, yeah" Troy said confidently, while he sat on his sit. "Bonding…"

"Well-" before he could even finish his sentence Darbus burst inside the room exactly when the bell rang, followed by Gabriella, then Sharpay and unexpectedly Zeke.

"Mr. Baylor, your late, again, 15 minutes of detention for you" Darbus said. "Hmm… the co-director of thee musical has something to announce." She said pointing to Gabriella

Gabriella stood up from her seat and walks in the front of the class room. "Ok, well… 3 weeks is nearly approaching so Mrs. Darbus and I thought that it will be better if we practice every dismissal, everyday"

"What?" Ryan pointed out "I can't, I mean I have dance lessons after class"

"Yeah!" Chad said "Me and Troy have practices"

"Chad, its troy and I" Taylor corrected. Chad rolled his eyes.

"Yes, I know, but your practicing for nothing" Gabriella said.

"Nothing!" Zeke said in shocked he never knew Gabriella will say such a thing.

"It's not nothing Gabriella" Troy said "We practice everyday for the game"

"The game that will be next year" Gabriella pointed out. Then the room was filled with whispers and some shouting. Mrs. Darbus tried to stop the commotion but she can't.

"WILL YOU KEEP QUIET?!?" Sharpay shouted standing up from her sit. Everybody look at her. "Mrs. Darbus, it's not right not letting me know about this things, if you will remember Gabriella is just CO-director and I'm the co-PRESIDENT of the drama club"

"I'm sorry Ms. Evans but…"

"Is just that… we can't all practice everyday" Sharpay said, All of the students, except for her brother and troy, look at her shocked. "How 'bout Mondays and Wednesdays' free period and every Friday's free period and after class?" she suggested.

Everyone nodded and some smiled. Sharpay gave Darbus a questioning look.

Darbus sigh and said "Ok fine but no one will be tardy nor absent or else he or she will be kick out of the show!" Darbus said. Gabriella sat in her sit after all of that.

"I can' t believe Sharpay is being nice" Chad whispered to Troy.

"Yeah me too" Troy smiled looking at Sharpay as she take her sit.

…………

"Guys! Gather around please" Coach Bolton said as the basketball team drop whatever they're doing and start to gather around there couch.

"Ok guys, I know we have a lot of activities for this month" Jack started "and we also have activities for the basketball team"

"What's that?" Chad asked.

"We have a game next week" Jack said.

"But coach, why did you tell us just today" Zeke asked.

"Because I only knew earlier, this morning"

"Against what team?" Jason asked.

"West High Knights"

"But how 'bout the musical?" Troy thought loudly.

"I'm sorry Troy" Jack said "You know you can always balance everything" Jack said "But no one will tell anything about this unexpected game to a non-basketball team ok?"

Everyone nodded "And our schedule is everyday free period and every Friday after dismissal" Jack said. Everyone got up and continued to do what they were doing earlier.

"Um… dad" Troy said. "I can't practice Friday dismissal and Monday and Wednesdays"

"Why" jack asked.

"Because I have other practices"

"Oh. The musical" Troy nodded. "Well just give Darbus an excuse" Jack said before he walked away.

How can I tell Darbus? She will probably kill me Troy thought.

…………
