AN: Hi! Wow! I practically went from like 8 reviews to 21 over night! Thank You SmileyMiley for review almost every chapter! Aw, and thank you to eightxtrack..yep..what was I doing next? Oh, yeah the story, duh!
The four girls were getting ready for the dance in Sharpay's room, getting ready for the dance. Which they had found out several days earlier, was the merged Semi-Formal and Valentine's Dance, because of budget cuts. Gabriella, Taylor, and Sharpay were getting picked up by the dates and then going out to dinner with them before, Grace was already finished, and check through her lists for the music.
Ten minutes later the three other girls were done, "Finally!" Gracelynn exclaimed.
"Must be perfect," Sharpay started.
"Ya-ya," Gracelynn waved it off.
There was a knock on the front door, "That's one of your dates, I'll go get it, and I'll holler for one of you." Gracelynn said walking out of the room.
There were several knocks on the door, as Gracelynn came down the stairs.
When she opened the door, she yelled up the stairs, "Gabi, Sharpay, and Taylor! Your dates are here!"
The three guys looked uncomfortable in their 'suits.'
Gracelynn heared a knock upstairs and 'Ryan, you're going to be late if you take any longer.'
"I forgot my play list upstairs, I'll see how your dates are doing," Gracelynn said and then took off upstairs.
When she got upstairs, she saw Sharpay pacing in front of door, Gabi with her play list in hand, and Taylor looking bored.
"What's taking so long?" Gracelynn asked, "All three of your dates are nervous wreaks down there."
"My brother, that's what?" Sharpay said.
Then, Gabriella spoke up, "You forgot this, now if only Ryan came out, because Sharpay wants to 'approve' the suit, but he won't come out."
"Fine, let me," Gracelynn said walking up the door knocking on it loudly, "RYAN ANDREW EVANS, If you are not out here, in five seconds, I am going to show everyone in drama class, your dance album, FROM SECOND GRADE!"
There was several thumps, and then the door opened quickly with Ryan running down the stairs.
"Second grade? Sixth Grade was totally worse," Sharpay said starting down the stairs.
"I know, but he would probably try to get out of the room so quickly that he would go through the door. Then, I would have to do lighting and everything else at the dance."
"True," Sharpay said as they came down the stairs.
Five minutes later, the three girls and their dates had left, Gracelynn was making one last check on the music.
"Ryan, Ms. Laurals wants us there at 5 to start set up..." she said walking into the kitchen and then looked up, "What are you doing?"
She referred to his many attempts to tying his tie.
"Tying this," Ryan said failing again.
"No," Gracelynn said walking over and tying it on the first time, "Its like that. It's 4:50, so let's go."
She said walking out the door.
"Wooh, we're done," Gracelynn said sitting down at her DJ booth in the middle of the balcony in the cafeteria. "You wouldn't even know if was a cafeteria!"
She referred to the cafeteria no full of decorations and void of tables.
"Yeah, I gotta go set up lighting now." Ryan said tiredly walking down the stairs to the lighting booth.
Grace has set down her head of what seems only like a couple minutes, when her cell phone alarm went off. There were several people there who she didn't hear come in but she quickly put on her headset.
"Welcome to East High 2007 Semi-Formal Valentine's Dance, I'm your DJ for tonight. Let's get ready to crank up the volume," Gracelynn said going into DJ mode.
After she put the song Axel F by Crazy Frog, people finally started dance. Then, she heard a beep in her headset, so switched the board from 'broadcast' to 'intercom.'
"Hello?"
"Professional DJ?"
"Yes, Ryan. Anyway, do you know when your sister and everyone else said they'd show up?"
"Nope."
"The songs almost over I have to go back," Gracelynn said yet again switching.
She thought she should mix the songs up a bit, Grace hit play, then the doors flew open. Sharpay had to arrive in her dramatic fashion, and the song was fitting.
Grace went back to intercom, "I didn't time that."
"Well, she is a teenage drama queen," Ryan simply stated.
Sharpay couldn't believe she actually had friends this year. Sure, she still was the ice queen, but only to the people who were jerks to the group, because it was a mixed up clique group. When she first met Gabriella, she hated her. Mostly for taking her coveted lead role and man. Ehm. But, she got over it. They had become best friends in months; one of the first times Sharpay really stuck up for her is when Gracelynn showed up. Then, they found out she was Troy's sister. Wow, that was awkward. She thought back to earlier that week,
Flashback!
Sharpay entered her house after talking to Gracelynn after following her to the park. She saw her brother in the living room watching TV.
"Gracelynn noticed the same handwriting," Sharpay said sitting down in the living room.
"Yep," was all he said.
"You want her to find out that way?"
"That was the point," he said.
After a few minutes of silence, he turned back to Sharpay and said, "The heart on the necklace, is engraved."
I feel this chapter is a bit on the short side, BUT I wanted to end it here! Please tell me what you think! I'm brainstorming ideas how Gracelynn will find out, because my brain is running out of ideas! HELP!
