=Wildcats, Hope for Haiti=
-By Jessica L. Ayers-
On January 12, 2010 a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck, shook, and destroyed the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti. The earthquake, the worst in the 21st century, with a depth of 8.1 miles underground sending off at least 33 aftershocks, fourteen of which were between the magnitudes of 5.0 and 5.9..
On January 20, 2010 at 6:03 local time, the strongest aftershock since the earthquake, measuring with a magnitude of 5.9, struck Haiti, making things even more worse – if even possible. An estimated number of depths range up to 200,000 with already 80,000 burials already have taken place.
With this having been said: This is the story of how our favorite group, well all know and love – the Wildcats– and how they came together to give hope to Haiti…
(January 2010.)
"…We as Americans have always been at our best when we hear and heed the calls of others. When comforted with massive human suffrage, Americans have always stepped up and answered the call to help, but there's never been a scale of human tragedy in our own hemisphere, like what we now are witnessing in Haiti. So today and for two weeks straight, East High School will be doing a two week fundraiser with raising money and hope for all of those in Haiti.
You as the student body of Wildcats here at East are asked profoundly to help do whatever you can during these next to weeks. So, with that being said, please keep quite and watch this slideshow that Ms. Montez and Ms. McKessie have put together for you all," Mr. Matsui, the principal of East High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, said as he ended his mini-assembly speech as he went to stand beside Ms. Darbus – the drama and senior class's homeroom teacher – and Coach Jack Bolton – the gym teacher and coach of the boys and girls basketball teams – as the lights went out and the screen on the theatre stage started to play with "In the Arms of an Angel" by Sarah McLaughlin in the background, making the video even more sad than it already was – if even possible.
A few minutes later, everyone with tears in their eyes softly clapped for the well made video and quickly quieted down and listened intently as Mr. Matsui began to talk again from behind the podium, "Thank you for the heartbreaking, but well made video Ms. Montez and Ms. McKessie.
Okay, now with everything said and the video shown I would like you all to welcome the ring leaders for the next two weeks so, give a round of applause for Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez, Sharpay Evans, Zeke Baylor, Ryan Evans, Martha Cox, Taylor McKessie, Chad Danforth, Kelsi Nielsen, and Jason Cross or as we better know them as, the Wildcats."
Everyone stood and welcomed the ring leaders – as Mr. Matsui stated – of the next two weeks. After everyone sat down, they all began to listen intently again, but this time with each Wildcat taking a turn to talk.
"Thank you," an eighteen year old boy with striking electric blue eyes, shaggy chestnut hair, and a tanned and toned body thanked them before he continued to talk, "As Mr. Matsui said, we are, how did he put it…the ringleaders, for the next two weeks in which a lot of different things will be happening, all of them in which will raise money in hopes of helping Haiti."
"As Troy pointed out, a lot of things will be happening in these next two weeks at East High, not only are classes being somewhat postponed," the exotic and petite, seventeen year old, Filipina, who had her fingers laced with the blue eyed boy said and giggled as everyone cheered, "but on the last day of the last week, a charity basketball game will be played between the East High Wildcats' boys' basketball team joined by the coaching staff, teachers, and the girls' basketball team will play against a group of professional basketball playing athletes."
Everyone cheered loudly as the teams mentioned in her speech cheered the loudest, but they all soon quieted down as the blonde bombshell with chocolate brown eyes standing beside the Filipina, started to talk, but not before she cast them all a death glare telling them all to quiet down so she could talk. "Thank you. Now as Troy pointed out those different things were going to be going on, and as Gabriella mentioned one of the highlights of the next two weeks is not only all classes being postponed, but a charity basketball game. Another highlight, which will take place on the last day of the first week, is an auction where people who sign up will be auctioned off for money and all the money earned will go straight to Haiti and the people involved in it."
"As Troy, Gabriella, and Sharpay pointed out about various things. I would also like to add that during the next two weeks the American Red Cross, who are also helping out with the relief and Hope for Haiti that George Clooney and fellow actors, actresses, singers, and other celebs, on the Friday of January 23 of this year to help raise money to help Haiti out; will be here on the Tuesdays and the Wednesdays of the next two weeks for a blood drive. For more information on the blood drive or even the charity basketball game and auction that were all mentioned so far, please look in the pamphlets handed to you as you walked inside the theatre," an eighteen year old, African American girl said.
"As my girlfriend, Taylor, said, the American Red Cross will here for a blood drive and we will also being have a food drive that will last for both of the two weeks and all of the food will get packed and shipped directly to Haiti," the basketball co-captain with his famous afro said, no sign of joking in his serious voice and posture.
"Thank you Chad," a blonde boy, identical to the blonde haired Sharpay, began to talk after thanking the afro haired boy, he referred to as Chad, "Along with all the other things Gabriella, my sister, Taylor, Chad, and Troy pointed out, we will also be taking donations all week so, please feel free and donate whatever you think is reasonable, even if it's only a dollar, donate it. It's for a good cause!"
"Like Ryan said, it's for a good cause so, please donate. And if you don't feel like donating money, blood, or food, then how about clothing during our two week long clothing drive that will hopefully get a lot of clothes raised so we can send them straight to Haiti also," the eighteen year old, head cheerleader pointed out and offered.
"Also during the first week not only is an auction being held, but so is a talent show so, please sign up for that and for more information look in the pamphlet that was handed out to you as you walked through the doors," a short, eighteen year old female, with glasses said.
"Thanks for that Kelsi," the boy who was standing beside her, holding her hand, thanked her before he added, "Also along with donating blood, clothing, and money, there'll also be a drive for supplies that are needed. Supplies that are needed is…well, just about everything from blankets and pillows, stuffed animals, just…anything so, please donate some supplies and keep in mind that not only are you donating stuff for the adults of Haiti, but for the children also, thank you."
"Okay, with all that being said we are also selling during the next two weeks, these rubber bracelets that come in Haiti's flag colors, blue and red, with white writing that say 'Remember and Pray for Haiti' on the front and then on the back – or however you look at which side as your back and or front – with the date 'January 12, 2010' on it. These will be on sale for fifty cents and there's a lot of them and please keep in mind that all proceeds go to Haiti, thank you," a tall, African American, eighteen year old boy, standing beside Sharpay with his fingers laced with hers, said.
"Alright, again let's give a big round of applause for these ten Seniors not to mention all of the sponsors who are also helping," Mr. Matsui said as he clapped with everyone else before he said, seeing the time, "Okay, seeing as it's almost time for your guys' weekend to start, have a fun and safe one by the way, I also want to remind you all to support them and to also participate so, for any more information as several of the seniors listed, looked into the pamphlet that was handed out to you at the beginning of the assembly. Thank you and have a good weekend, Wildcats!"
(Week One – Talent Show)
"I want to start things off tonight, by saying thank you to everyone for coming tonight and to say that this money along with all the money earned tonight will go straight to the American Red Cross. So, remember to cast your votes on the little slips of paper you were given and put them in the baskets as they come around after each performance also please remember that the buckets coming around are also for the money for more donations so, if you see what you like tell us. Okay, so to start of East High's Hope for Haiti please welcome a beautiful group of ten students, you know them as the Wildcats, who are singing the smash hit and their version of 'We are the World' so, without futher ado please welcome to the stage, the Wildcats!" Ms. Darbus said the night of the talent show to the packed full theatre room and everyone stood and clapped as the red curtains opened to reveal the group known as the Wildcats and then sat down as the music began to play and they began to sing while holding hands and swaying back and forth.
Everyone smiled and knowing they were all due to sing first, they began to sing their first verse together, and beautifully:
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
Knowing that it was his turn to sing, alone, Troy began to sing, his voice strong, powerful and dedicated to the cause they were supporting:
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth
You know love is all we need
Smiling, the Wildcats began to sing together:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me
Gabriella took a deep breath before she began to sing, knowing and according to her best friend – Sharpay – this was her time to shine:
Well, send 'em your heart so they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
Smiling, they all started the chorus again:
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth
You know love is all we need
Smiling, the Wildcats began to sing together:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me
When you're down and out there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth
You know love is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me
We can't go on pretending day by day

"Brava, well, that was simply breathtaking wasn't it," Ms. Darbus said as she continued to clap with the standing audience, who stood and cheered loudly as they donated money and put in their number scores in the baskets as they came around.
---
"…Alright, thank you for that er, wonderful show Allan," Ms. Darbus said causing some people to cough, trying to cover up their laughter before they submitted their terrible numbers for him as Ms. Darbus smiled and introduced the next performance, "This next performance is done by two very beautiful ladies, so please welcome to the stage Ms. Sharpay Evans singing 'Breathless' accompanied by Ms. Gabriella Montez on the guitar."
Everyone smiled and cheered as the brunette and blonde walked out onstage looking beautiful together – Sharpay her surprisingly simple pink and purple polka dotted spaghetti strap dress with white high heels and Gabriella with her cute red floral halter tie dress and red high heels. Smiling Sharpay helped Gabriella put her guitar on once she was settled on the stool with the microphone in front of it before she went to sit on hers.
Everyone stayed silent and gently smiled as Gabriella began to playing the piano while off the stage, below it on the right side, the band started to gently play guitars with Gabriella, who gave her best friend an encouraging smile before the blonde began to sing:
Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were
Stripped to the bone
I thought you'd want to know
That when you feel the world crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
So glad to see you smile
So glad to hear your laugh
I think that you've found you even
Missed yourself
I'm only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again
Again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless
So when you feel the world is crashing down
Would you come and run into my arms
"Now, that was a simply amazing performance, brava Ms. Evans and Ms. Montez," Ms. Darbus told them as she wrote her number score down for them and then put it into the basket before she introduced another performer, but finally after ten more minutes, they were down to their last performance of the night and the one she really wanted to hear, "Alright, this is the one I've been waiting for and I know these nine Wildcats are waiting for as they are seated right down here in front of center stage, so without further ado…Wildcats would you like to do the honor?"
"Sure," they all told her before they counted to three and then introduced the next performance, "PLEASE WELCOME GABIRELLA MONTEZ!"
Everyone clapped and cheered as Gabriella came out onstage and sat down at the stole as she got ready to sing her song called 'Haiti's Halo' so, as the opening cords began to play on the piano, thanks to Kelsi, she took a deep breath and connected her eyes with Troy's as she started to sing, putting her heart and soul into the performance:
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Haiti, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything we need and more
It's written all over your face
Haiti, I can feel you halo
I pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see you halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I hit me like a run of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything in need and more
It's written all over your face
Haiti I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
Halo, halo
Everywhere we're looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Haiti we can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything we need and more
It's written all over your face
Haiti, we can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
Haiti we can see your halo, halo, halo
"BRAVA!" Ms. Darbus screamed as the theatre erupted in cheers as tears fell from their eyes and Gabriella's as they applauded her for her touching song.
Soon later, everyone left the theatre as the winners were announced as first place went to Gabriella Montez, second place going to the Wildcats because of their amazing performance of "We are the World", and lastly third place went to Sharpay; and everyone all had the same thought in mind: Haiti, we can feel your halo and we pray you won't fade away.
-The End-
Okay, so I don't know about you guys, but I thought this ending personally sucked, but I just couldn't I don't know..since I'm sick, I just can't find the spirit to write so, while talking to my muse tonight (aka, Cloe) I hope that I will find the will to do so, owe and please look out for my two sequels to "America's New First Family" which will be co-wrote with Girly411 (aka, Cloe) as I will be co-writing with her (we don't know the titles yet, but we will let you all know) and BY THE WAY, BE PROUD, I'VE TURNED HER INTO A ZANESSA/TROYELLA FAN SO THANK ME!
