The two arrived at school laughing at the morning's events. "You should have seen your face!" Gabriella exclaimed. "Why? Did it turn a dark red?" He asked. "YES!" Gabriella laughed. "Well that happens every time I eat spicy food." He replied. The pair walked inside laughing together. They walked to their lockers that were conveniently located next to each other this year. Their gang of friends, Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Kelsi, and Jason, were already there.
"Hey man!" Chad yelled from across the hall. It earned him a smack in the head from his adoring girlfriend, Taylor. "Ouch! What was that for?" He asked. "You know not to yell across the hall! Darbus has her eye out for detention subjects already. Her goons are everywhere!" She said. "Arguing again? It's only the first day back!" Troy said with a laugh. "Chad was yelling and Taylor told him to stop with a little love tap! Nothing new!" Kelsi explained. The group minus Chad laughed. "Well her little love taps hurt!" He exclaimed. "Ok. Subject change!" Gabriella exclaimed. "So… what class do you guys have first?" She asked. They all looked at their schedules. "Awww man! I have math!" Chad exclaimed. "Taylor, love of my life…" Taylor cut him off. "It's only the first day back. No homework so you don't need to borrow mine!" The group laughed as realization crossed Chad's face.
Just
then the bell rang. "See ya guys!" Chad said as he left the hall.
"Well, I have free period so it's off to the kitchen with
me!" Zeke said enthusiastically. Ever since the confession session
at lunch he hadn't been afraid to show how much he enjoyed cooking.
In fact, the school board thought that he was such a good chef that
they let him cook for the school once a week! All of the students
loved his cooking.
"I have computers so I have to go now. See ya." Troy said. He walked off in the direction of the computer lab. The only ones left were Taylor, Kelsi, Jason, and Gabriella. "History." Jason said before anyone asked. Everyone knew that he had the biggest crush on Kelsi and that he hated being the only boy around the girls. He walked away but before he could get far Gabriella yelled out, "the history room's the other way Jase!" The girls giggled as his face turned a deep shade of crimson. "Oh ya. I forgot." He replied. "Sure…" Kelsi said before he walked off in the other direction. The girls looked at each other. "Free period!" They said excitedly. "Gabbi, why don't we go to the auditorium and you can sing for us!" Kelsi said happily. "I don't know." She said unsurely. "Come on. You preformed in from of thousands of people last year at the musical but you won't sing for your best friends?" Taylor asked, pretending to be hurt. "It's just that the only way I can sing in front of people is if Troy is with me. If he's not I get so afraid that I get sick to my stomach. Not a good thing." Gabriella said to her two friends. "Please Gabriella?" "Ya. Pweese?" The two begged. "Fine! But only if Taylor promises that she will NEVER say pweese EVER again." Taylor nodded and grinned a huge smile. "Works every time." She mumbled to herself.
The trio walked to the auditorium only to find the Evans twins singing and dancing.
"We're soaring! Flying! There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach!"
"Ya we're trying, so we're breaking free."
They sang. Gabriella walked onto the stage. "Hey that's my song! Only I can sing that!" She said jokingly. "Ya right. You can't even sing it right." Sharpay replied rudely. "Hey, Sharpay! That's no way to treat your friends!" Ryan said. "I know, but she…" Sharpay replied. "It was a joke." Gabriella said. "I know. I'm sorry." Sharpay replied. "You're forgiven. I'm not one to hold grudges." Gabriella said to her. "Come on Gabbi! Sing!" Taylor encouraged. "Fine. Let me think of a song." Gabriella said. She finally decided on "Do you believe in magic". Kelsi went to the piano and started to play the tune.
"Do
you believe in magic?
In a young girl's heart
How the music can
free her whenever it starts
And it's magic
If the music is
groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old time movie
I'll
tell you 'bout the magic, it'll free your soul
But it's like
trying to tell a stranger 'bout a rock and roll
Do you believe
in magic?
Don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music, or
rhythm and blues
Just go and listen
It'll start with a
smile
That won't wipe off your face
No matter how hard you
try
Your feet start tappin' and you can't seem to find
How
you got there, so just blow your mind
Do you believe in
magic?
Come along with me
We'll dance until morning, it's just
you and me
And maybe
If the music is right
I'll meet you
tomorrow sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing baby then
you'll see
How the magic's in the music and music's in me,
yeah
Do you believe in magic, yeah
Believe in the magic
of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of a rock and
roll
Believe in the magic that'll set you free (set you free)
Oh,
oh, talkin' bout magic
Do you believe like I
Do you believe
in magic
Do you believe like I
Do you believe in magic
Do
you believe like I
Do you believe in magic, yeah
Do you believe
in magic
Do you believe like I
Do you believe in magic
Do
you believe like I
Do you believe in magic..."
After the song was over the trio along with Ryan and Sharpay walked to study hall. They turned on the computers and then signed onto AIM.

'I wonder what it means! Maybe I'll never know.' Troy thought to himself walking down the hall to his locker.
'Girls are so secretive.'
