"Uhm, alright." Michelle said shyly.
"Hey Kenny?" Whitney said into her mic.
"Yes Whit?" Kenny replied into the mic.
"Do you mind if we take a longer break? I have to call my daughter's husband back. She just got to the hospital." Whitney said.
"Oh, she's finally going into labor?" Kenny asked.
"Yep." Whitney smiled.
"Alright, I suppose we could take a break. Just tell Michelle, the next girl, when she comes in." Kenny said.
"Thanks Kenny!" Whitney said, dialing her phone.
"Great. Now I can make a few calls." Vanessa said looking at the time. 5:00pm she thought. Just as she was about to dial a number, her phone rang.
"Hello she answered?"
"Yo Nessa!" Marc said. (he's the one who was texting her at the beginning of the story)
"Hey Marc. I was just about to call you." Vanessa laughed.
"Oh really? See, we have super powers." He said sarcastically.
"So why are you calling me?" Vanessa laughed.
"I dunno, bored I guess."
"Well, anyways, while I'm talking to you, do you wanna be on my court for my debut?" Vanessa asked hopeful.
"You're having one? Wow, the famous Vanessa Anne Hudgens is asking me to be on her court for her debut?" Marc gasped.
"You know, you should be an actor." She laughed.
"I am one. Just not professional like you. But yes, how can I say no to my homie?" He asked.
"You can't, because I'm the bestest homie you got." Vanessa said with a small attitude.
"Oh hell nah." Marc said with the same attitude. Vanessa just stayed silent for a little, and so did he. Then they burst out into laughter.
"Ahh, can't believe you're actually having a debut." Marc said.
"Yeah I know. I'm like the least Filipino oriented person you know." Vanessa laughed.
"Not really. I know worse." He laughed. "But seriously, you actually have time for it?"
"I guess. Or well, hopefully I will. Plus, now I have an excuse to see you guys more."
"True. True. Can't complain with that. So who's on your court so far?"
"Well, for the guys, there's you, Zac, Chris, Ryne, Lucas, Corbin. And the girls there's Falisha, Ashley, Olesya, and Monique."
"Wow, you have a long way to go. So are they all from High School Musical?"
"Yep."
"Cool, cool. So I finally get to meet your cooler friends eh?"
"Shut up. You know I love you all just the same."
"Except for Zac? Since you know.." He asked. Just then Zac came up behind her and poked her sides, causing her to squirm and squeal.
"Oh my gosh!" She jumped, almost dropping her phone. "ZAAAAC!" She whined. "I'm on the phone!"
"Well, it didn't look like it was anything formal, so I thought I'd have some fun because I'm hella bored since you're on the phone. Everyone else went to go to the bathroom." Zac said taking a seat next to her. Vanessa looked around and hadn't noticed that everyone had left, and she and Zac were the only two in the room.
"Oh. I didn't notice." Vanessa said.
"Hello?" Marc said. "You still there?"
"Oh. Uh. Yeah, still here." Vanessa said into the reciever.
"Haha, I told you!" Marc yelled. "I heard the way you said 'Zac'"
"Shut up! I don't."
"Lies. Lies."
"Just best friends."
"Okay Ness. Whatever you say. Hey, I got to go, I'll call you later."
"Alright. Hey could you ask Lyssa, Jen, Jenalyn, and Tin if they wanna be on my court?"
"Yep, no problem. We're all heading over to Tin's anyway."
"Want me to ask anyone else?"
"Uhm, no I think I've got it covered, but don't make a big deal out of it. I don't want people complaining that they're not in it, so on and so on."
"You got it."
"Alright talk to you later then."
"Yep, bye Ness."
"Later." Vanessa hung up then turned to Zac.
"You're so mean!" She said to Zac. They were still the only ones in the room.
"What? I was bored. I can't go run into the bathroom and do that to the guys." He laughed.
"Right, but it would be pretty interesting if you did." Vanessa rolled her eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes at me Ms. Hudgens."
"I can do so if I want to Mr. Efron."
"Oh yeah?" Zac said.
"Yeah." Vanessa said. Then Zac attacked her, tickling her like crazy.
"Zac!... stop!. I.. ca..can't.. breeaaathee." Vanessa said laughing.
"Well, you're talking and laughing, so technically you are breathing." Zac laughed, still tickling her. What they didn't know was that Ashley had started to walk in the room when she saw this. Then she took out her camera once again, and did her "magic". She took a few pictures of them rolling and laughing on the floor, then recorded some of it. She smiled with what she had, then left.
"I give up!" Vanessa gasped.
"Good."
"Shutup." Vanessa said, fixing her hair.
"So, more people on board for your court?" Zac asked
"Yep. Or well, another guy at least. He's gonna ask Lyssa, Jen, Jenalyn, and Tin for me, hopefully they'll say yes, then I'll only need one more girl and three more guys." Vanessa said, finishing up her hair.
"That's cool. So who are they?"
"Some of my friends that I practically grew up with before I had to move up here. We've kept in touch, but I haven't really had the chance to see them much you know?"
"Yeah, especially with all the promoting and stuff." Zac nodded.
"See, so you are smart Efron." Vanessa said sarcastically.
"Ha Ha, very funny." Zac said.
"I wonder where everyone is..." Vanessa said.
"Probably talking to some of the dancers and stuff. I'm too pooped out to walk around." Zac said, sinking into his chair more.
"Hmm. Yeah."
"Why? You don't like hanging out with me anymore?" Zac said, pouting. "Aww Nessa, doesn't love me." Zac said. Gosh, how I wish she loved me more than a friend. Zac thought.
"Shut up. You know I love you guys to death." Vanessa said, throwing a towel at him.
"No you don't."
"Yes I do.
"Nu uh."
"Yes huh."
"Nope."
"Yes I do Zac Efron." She said.
"Okay, okay. Whatever you say." He said putting his hands up in defeat.
"See, I win."
"Tie."
"Whatever, you know I always win." Vanessa said.
"Right. Well I'm hella tired." Zac said, laying his feet down on the rest of the chairs in the isle, and his head on Vanessa lap. Right then, Ashley walked in again quietly, her camera in her hand from just showing the girls. Then she started recording again from the door frame.
"What am I now? Your pillow?" Vanessa asked.
"Yep. Tired. You pillow." Zac said.
"Ew, you're all sweaty though." Vanessa said. Zac didn't reply. "Fine, only for you Zac since I'm so so nice. And stop talking like Tarzan." Vanessa caved in. Zac was facing her with his eyes closed, then smiled.
"2-1" He mumbled.
"Ugh. Freakin Zac.." Vanessa rolled her eyes.
"Hey! I saw that." Zac said. "No rolling your eyes at me remember?"
"Right." Vanessa said sarcastically. Ashley finished, and slowly slid out of the room.
"Zac, I'm gonna go fill up my water." Vanessa said, trying to get up.
"Noooo, stay. You're a comfy pillow." He whined.
"I'm thirsty."
"We can fill it up later. We don't dance until after the others are done." Zac looked at her with his blue eyes. Vanessa caught his eyes with hers.
"Fine I guess you're right. But that one doesn't count for the score, otherwise I'm getting up." Vanessa threatened.
"Okay, okay. It doesn't count."
"Could you at least wipe your sweat?" Vanessa asked.
"Nope. Too lazy."
"Ugh." Vanessa said, and grabbed the towel next to them and threw the towel onto Zac's face so it could wipe off the sweat.
"Thank you." He said with his eyes closed.
"I did it for my own benefit. But you're welcome." Vanessa said folding the towel, then placed it under Zac's head so that his sweat wouldn't go onto her shorts anymore. Then everyone else walked into the room. Whitney just got off the phone, and Michelle just entered the dance room. As Whitney was explaining to Michelle what was going on, Kenny was telling the gang a little bit about her.
"Well, let's see. Michelle is actually Vanessa's best friend, both of them came to the auditions together." Kenny said. "She's half Chinese and half American. She does a variety of different dance types, and very little professional acting experience." Kenny read off the rest, and then the first group went to go dance. The same routine that happened with Julia, Vanessa, happened with Michelle, as well as the other two girls auditioning, Rea and Mae.
