Yay! Reviews! I'm leaving for the mountains tomorrow, so I'll update twice. Maybe. Meet my review quota and definitely.

Disclaimer: See the chapter before this.


An invitation

"Hey Sharpay."

"Hey Troy."

Because he stops in the hall she is forced to stop, too.

"Hey, you wanna come over tonight? Pizza and movies," he offers.

"No, I can't," she says distractedly. "I have play practice." His face falls.

"Oh. Oh, um yeah. Sorry, I forgot. Good job. On getting the part, I mean. Seventh grade, and you're already top diva."

"You better believe it," she responds with a smile. "Oh, I forgot too! Basketball team all-star."

"America's future, that's us."

"Well..." she shifts on her feet, eager to get to class.

"Oh, right. Well. I guess...I guess we can hang out some other time. After the musical. And basketball. Y'know."

"Are you coming to the performance?"

"Egh. We have playoffs that week. Coming to any games?"

"We've got practice every night."

"Well. We'll figure something out." They smile at each other.

It's not a fight that ends the whole thing. It's just...spring comes and she's a diva and he's a star and they never acknowledge the fact that Sharpay goes to Ryan first and Troy goes to Chad now.

After the last game and the last performance of the season, they pass each other in the hall again.

"Hey Evans."

"Bolton."


Lessee...quota: 14 reviews overall and you guys get...a high school episode! Yay!

Actually, since I wrote this one, there are going to be seven chapters.
