(Chapter 2)

The next day was Saturday. First thing in the morning, on the only sleep in day of the week, at 10:30 a.m. Taylor was unhappily awake. She opened the door. "Hi! I'm Sharpay, this is my friend, Anna Lee. She's from England. She's 11. What's your name? Anna Lee, where did your servant go?" Sharpay Evans said, excited. "I brought the two of them, here, because I'm looking for Gabriella, and I want her to take care of them, because I can't while I'm on my new movie set." Sharpay continued. "I'm Taylor. Gabriella is still asleep, but you can leave them here. I'll watch them." Taylor explained. "Ok, and your how old? 16, 17?" Sharpay asked. "14" Taylor replied. "wow. Anyway, you ever heard of my self-written movie about my freshman year of high school? It's called 14 to 9th, musical." Sharpay said. "Yeah, I wanted to see it. You played yourself. But they were charging too much, so I couldn't get in" Taylor said. Sharpay opened up her bag, and pulled out the DVD. She got a marker and signed the cover. "Sweet!" Taylor exclaimed. "Anyway, California Kelly, where did you go?" Sharpay asked. "I'm right behind you" A girl with dark hair and blue eyes replied in a fake english accent. "Your funny Cali, no wonder your my servant" Anna Lee said. Anna Lee had fair skin, and light hair. She had deep blue eyes, and she was wearing a black dress, with white skinny pants underneath it. She was wearing some ballet flats as well, and had a small pink purse. Cali and Anna Lee looked as different as possible. Cali had fair skin, but it was a darker tone, as though she had a permenant tan. Cali was wearing a pink t-shirt and black pants. "I used to be your servant, now I just get paid for being your friend." Cali said. Cali must've been at least 14, but she was definatly Anna Lee's best friend. "Ok, well toodles. Here's my number if you have any issues" Sharpay said, giving Taylor a piece of paper. "So how long are you staying here?" Taylor asked, the door was still wide open, and the 2 hadn't come in yet. Cali elbowed Anna Lee, as to go in. Anna Lee did as told, and Cali followed. By 11:30, everyone was awake, and Anna Lee was playing with Meghan, Melonie, and Mitchie. "Oh, I simply ADORE little children. I've always wanted a little sister" Anna Lee said. "Me too." Elicia said as she came in. "Anna Lee, do you like your name?" I asked. "No, I hate it. I was named after my great-grandmum. I've always wanted a nickname, but not Anna, or Lee, something.... cooler" she replied. "how about, Ellie?" Elicia suggested. "OH I LOVE IT!" "Ellie" said. Taylor smiled and went to the kitchen to make some lunch.

Malisha on the other hand, had been up almost all night. She had been thinking about whether or not it was right to read that piece of paper. All she knew was it had something to do with Julianne. It was folded, and it said "PROPERTY OF JULIANNE O." Malisha sat in the closet. Strange place to think, but it was her hideaway at home. She had secret areas that she would go to when she was mad with the world. When she was happy, sad, or felt any emotion that made her want to be away from the world of body guards, and Father being strict. She would put on clothes Father would NEVER let her wear, and she would blast music as loud as possible. The room was 100% sound proof. She couldn't hear anything, and no one could hear her. There wasn't even a window in her closet. After at least 10 minutes, she slowly opened the paper.

"This Certificate says that Julianne Juliette (no last name at time of print) has been officially adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Shane and Michelle Oceanside. Julianne's new name is now Julianne Juliette Oceanside. Julianne was adopted on December 11, age 10. Her birthday is July 20. " Malisha read silently. "Julianne was adopted?" Malisha questioned herself. She looked and saw a staple. She turned it and read another piece of paper.

"Julianne Juliette Alann was born July 20, at 8:43 a.m. She was 20 inches tall. Her parents ran off before they could see their daughter. They knew it was a girl, and they had wanted a girl. Why did they run off? The answer is yet to be found, but we will look into this investagation" The old newspaper article said. Also attached was yet another piece of paper. "Julianne Juliette Alann has been living with her grandma, Maria Colee, since she was born. Julianne appears to be a normal girl, but she isn't. Her parents ran away before they could meet her. And now she defanetly isn't normal. In one day, her parents were found dead in the road. Also, she came downstairs after waking to find her grandma drunk and collapsed on floor. Seconds later, Maria was out cold. Maria was sent to the hospital in a coma. As Maria woke, she didn't remember anything, and thought she was 17 years old, trying to run out of the room. After falling into another comma, not even half-way out the door, she was put in bed, and doctors suspected it would be quite some time before she woke up. They were proven wrong, and Maria slapped Julianne repeatedly when she came to visit. Julianne now has a scar on her cheek, quite close to her ear. Maria was placed in a home for senior citizens, and Julianne was unable to live with her. Julianne is 4 years old and being placed in an adoption centre, hoping to find a family to help forget the horrible truth." Malisha read. Malisha had finished the book, and put the paper back in. She gave it to Taylor, pretending she had never found it.

"I never knew Taylor's parents were named Jacob and Mary." Malisha told herself in the elevator, going to downstairs to find a way to escape without going home. She decided to take a walk. She walked quite far, all the way across town. She ran into a brunette with a pink hat. The girl was wearing a pink shirt, a white jacket over it, some pink pants with a white skirt over them, and pink high-heels. She had a white purse, and small tufts of blond hair sticking out of her brunette hair. "Oh, I'm sorry" Malisha said. "No problem kid" the woman said. "Oh my gosh, your Sharpay Evans!" Malisha said. "I can tell by your voice! I'm a HUGE fan!" Malisha continued, excitedly. "Yeah, and I know who you are too. Your Malisha Behar. I've seen you around town, and you were in the newspaper once because you saved a cat from the road, risking your life for the poor innocent animal" Sharpay said. "Cool! What are you doing here? Your supposed to be doing your movie, Brown-Haired Beauty of Bummington. Where you play a blond in a brunette disguise, in a town called Bummington where you have to lighten the town up, because it's been a depressing town for 20 years. And your in a brunette disguise, because theres a rule of no blonds in the town, and police may be sad, but they follow the rules." Malisha said. "I'm not in the scene they're shooting so they let me take a 50 minute break" Sharpay replied. "Here's my number, and autograph" Sharpay continued, pulling out a card. She got a pen and signed it. "It has my e-mail address too." Sharpay continued. "Ok, I'm usually in Apartment Building B downtown on the 12th story in room 1213." Malisha said. "I know that address from somewhere." Sharpay said thinking. "Anyway, I better get going" Sharpay said, leaving. "Bye" Malisha called, but Sharpay had walked away already.

"Hey, guys, I'm gonna leave" Stephen said, back at the apartment after breakfast. "Ok." Taylor said. Just then, Stephen's phone rang. "Hello? Ok. Ok. Yeah. OK, bye" he said. "Hey Taylor, remember that one guy, Zack. Your boyfriend?" Stephen asked. "You were supposed to go out with him last night." he continued. "I never arranged that." Taylor said. "Anyway, he was sad that you didn't come, so he came home and when he woke up this morning, his dad smacked him for being out so late." Stephen continued. "He got knocked out COLD and now is in a hospital" Stephen said. "WHAT?!?!?!" Taylor exclaimed.
