Ryan strode into East High without Sharpay. It felt weird to be in school without her. He flung the doors open and the school parted for Ryan. Ryan marched up to his and Sharpay's locker. He flung the blue door open and looked at the pictures of the sunny Sharpay who was happy and laughing. She was on his back and they were both crying with laughter. It was their mum who took it. In the back ground was their dad reading the newspaper and reclining on the sun chair.

That was before she had had his two nephews and nieces. Sharpay and the twins would be on their way to their summer house in Spain. Then there was another photo of Sharpay looking after Jack and Isabelle. Ryan smiled to himself. Suddenly he heard some people approach from behind and he slammed his locker shut and whirled around.

'Alright Evans where is she?' Chad pushed Ryan up against the wall.

'I will never tell you.' Ryan glared at Chad and Chad suddenly felt himself go cold as if he was being frozen. He dropped Ryan. Suddenly Gabriella, Taylor, Kelsi, Troy and Zeke came running up to them.

'Chad, men are you OK?' Troy asked.

'Yeah, sure.'

'Evans we are not leaving unless you tell us where you Ice sister is' Taylor crossed her arms.

'Well you are going to be here a long time, because I'll never tell you.'

Chad roared and grabbed Ryan and threw him to the floor and rested a foot on Ryan's heaving chest. Ryan heard Ms Darbus' pumps coming along the corridor and held his breath and pushed until his nose began to bleed.

'What the?' Chad started.

'MR DANFORTH!' Ms Darbus yelled.

'Your Excellency, I didn't, he made his nose bleed!' Chad tried to reason with her.

'Then why is Ryan lying on the floor underneath your foot, breathing heavily and looking scared?' Ms Darbus asked.

'I'm sorry your Excellency, it won't happen again.'

'Good, have you seen my little golden star?'

'Who is that? Gabby?' Taylor asked.

'Goodness no! Sharpay of course, I only let Miss Montez and Mr Bolton perform in the musical as a change. In fact Sharpie suggested it with Ryan here. Well if you don't know where she is, then I'll continue my dramatic search.' Ms Darbus floated off. Ryan flipped Chad off him and took out a blue tissue and stopped his nose bleed.

'Leave me and my sister alone.' He hissed. Troy watched him walk away. He and Gabriella looked at each other and then ran after him
