A/N: I think Tiara is characterized a little differently here to in the other chapters but I think that is just because it told from Jimmie's point of view. Anyway...

Auditions
"What am I doing here?" Jimmie asked himself, looking around the crowded auditorium.
He'd sworn he would never, ever audition for another school production after last year when he somehow managed to land himself a role as an understudy. And, yeah, the audience loved him but Sharpay Evans didn't and neither did Ms Darbus and they were the two people who would be doing the casting. Sharpay had come back, after graduating, to work as Ms Darbus's assistant, much to the annoyance of Tiara Gould.
Speaking of Tiara Gould, she was here too, sitting in the front row, smiling eagerly. Everyone knew she was going to be cast as the female lead.
But it doesn't make any difference Jimmie thought to himself. Even if you do audition you're never be cast as the male lead. Wait... that was a disturbingly odd thought. Why did he want to be cast as the male lead? Why was he even here, anyway?
Jimmie walked over to where Tiara was sitting and sat down on the chair next to her. Not for any particular reason; just because she was the only person here that he knew. Honest.
"Hey."
Tiara turned on him in disgust. "What are you doing here?"
"Auditioning, of course."
Tiara rolled her eyes. "You, Jimmie Zara, have about as much chance of getting a part as an elephant has of becoming a star ballerina."
"And you have about as much chance as a... um..."
Tiara stared at him witheringly. "I am going to get a part and probably the lead," she informed him curtly.
"Yeah, well who's to say I won't either?" Jimmie asked her.
Another withering look. "Well, we will see."
