Start of Something New
Yes I shouldn't be doing ANOTHER WIP however this had been hopping in my head since I became blocked on flipped...I do not own GH or High School Musical...All Lyrics used in this fic are from HSM...
The weekend went by and still all Damian could think about was the deceitful Blonde One. He should have realized that a girl as beautiful and popular as Leslie Lu Spencer would ever fall for a cyber geek like him. As he entered Marquez's class Monday morning she gave him an awkward smile from across the room. He avoided her gaze as he began to take notes. After class Cooper wanted to hang out with him but he wasn't in the mood. He wished he was back at his last school in Tennessee. He wished that because there he had no friends while here he had made friends who after only a week at PCH had pulled his world apart.

During free period Lulu ran through her routine not talking to the other girls except to comment about their progress. When Maxie attempted to make conversation Lulu gave her the cold shoulder. This was when guilt began to set in.
-
Maxie left the gym and ran into Cooper.
"Maxie," Cooper said while Maxie said his name.
"Lulu giving you the cols shoulder," Cooper asked.
Maxie nodded.
"Damian doing the same,' Maxie asked.
Cooper nodded.
"We need to make things right," Maxie said, "Look beyond the cheerleading competition and the scholastic decathlon to realize that Lulu and Damian are meant to be together."
"And if they make it into the musical," Cooper said, "the look on Logan's face..."
"Priceless," Maxie agreed, "so let's swallow our pride, piss Logan off, get our friends back together."
Cooper nodded.

During lunch Lulu sat in the greenhouse to distance herself from the world. Soon Maxie, Georgie, Brook, and the rest of the squad showed up.
"What are you doing here," Lulu asked.
"We need to talk," Maxie said, "about everything that's been going on."
"I told you I'm over Damian and the play," Lulu said.
"That's just it," Maxie said, "you shouldn't be over it..."
Lulu looked confused.
"I baked cookies," Georgie said, "trust me your going to need them."
Lulu took the cookies from the younger Jones girl and smiled as she listened to Maxie telling her how she wanted to break her and Damian up but now realized she shouldn't have. When the talk was done Lulu knew what she had to do. She needed to get Damian Spinelli back.
-
"Can we talk," Cooper said sliding into a chair across from Damian at Kelly's after school.
"It's a public place," Damian said.
"Friday...I sort of played dirty," Cooper said, "trying to get you to join my team."
Damian glared at the boy who explained the whole plot he had with Maxie.
"Spinelli," Cooper said, "Maxie and I we are worse then jerks...we were mean jerks and we're sorry."
"I accept your apology," Damian said, "but you heard the Blonde One."
"Maxie got her to say that," Cooper said, "Lulu really likes you."
"I'll let her tell me to my face," Damian said, "anyway I'll still be on your team."
"Even if you do change your mind about the musical," Cooper asked.
"No matter what," Damian said.
--
That evening Damian sat in his room as he heard voices downstairs.
"Is Damian here," Lulu's voice sounded.
His Granny knew about the whole Lulu thing and shook her head at the blonde.
"No," she lied, "he's not here."
Lulu left the house and could see a light on in the boy's room as well as his reflection. Through the glass. It was then she spotted a vine growing up the side of his house directly by his window. A smile spread across her face.
-
Damian suddenly heard the sound of a knock on his window.
"Blonde One," he said, "What are you doing."
"I wanted to talk to you," Lulu said, "Your Granny said you were out but I say you at your window."
"So you decided to break in to see me," Damian asked.
"To see you and give you this," Lulu said, "it's the music for the callback if you still want to do it."
"The Jackal would gladly do it," Damian said, "but only if that is what the Blonde One really wants."
"I really want it," Lulu said smiling.
This could be the start
of something new
it feels so right
to be here with you
and now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
the start of something new
Lulu sang as Damian smiled. Soon the sound of his Granny's footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs.
"I'll see you tomorrow Blonde One," Damian said.
"I can't wait Mr. Jackal," Lulu said carefully climbing down so she wouldn't get caught.
