We Are All in This Together

Chapter 9 By CallmeMaddy

Disclaimer: I know we haven't been over this in a long time, so here it is: I don't own Zoey 101 OR High School Musical

A/N: Well, like I said, I'm back for good. Thank you all you reviewers by reviewing this right away. Major focus for this chapter is the auditions, but I've added some other stuff. Two of these songs are mine, please no stealing!

Sigh I know I should start proof-reading my work, but I'm just so lazy...

Ch. 9: Auditions

Ryan sighed, "Sharpay, what are you planning?"
"Well, we have to plan something big. To make sure Lola can't win."
Ryan rolled his eyes, "Sharpay..."
"All is fair in love and war," She reminded him.

"What does love have to do with anything?"
"Well, nothing, I just like the saying..."

It was twenty minutes before Chase decided to stop Zoey.

"I have a girlfriend, remember?" Chase told her.

Zoey looked sad.

Is Kelsi even my girlfriend? I mean, I asked her out, but were we officially together? Chase asked himself.
Another voice entered Chase's head, You are just having doubts about Kelsi 'cause you want to be with Zoey, it hissed, You and Kelsi are together and you know it.

"I'm sorry," Zoey told him, "I shouldn't have--"
Chase cut her off, "Um, no, it's cool. Look, auditions start in like twenty minutes, are you coming?"
"I'm auditioning, remember? For Allison?"

"Oh, right. Totally slipped my mind," Chase cleared his throat, "Mind not talking about this to Kelsi?"
"I won't tell. Come on, let's go."

"One more time before we have to go to Auditions?" Lola begged Michael, "Please?"
"Lola, we've done it eight times, You're PERFECT," He told her.

Lola blushed.
"You don't need anymore practice. You are good enough to get the lead. Ok?"
Lola blushed some more, Michael bit his lip. Then he kissed her. Just a little peck, but it was still a kiss.

Lola smiled, "Wow."

Miss Darbus was looking at her list of people auditioning.

Miss Darbus looked at the list again and made sure she was reading it right. She wondered why Troy and Gabriella were not together.

Kelsi came in, "Hey, Miss Darbus, is it Ok if I come in early and set up the piano?"
Miss Darbus nodded in approval.

"Chase, here yet?"

"Nope," Miss Darbus responded, "But he better get here soon..."
A buzzing noise sounded off.
"Was that your cell phone?" Miss Darbus questioned.

"Nope, mine is in my dorm."

"Hmm, must be mine then," Kelsi gave Miss Darbus the look, "So sue me, I've given in to this whole cell phone idea."

Mission successful. Bringing diary to auditions.

"Excellent," Logan mumbled.

As the minutes past, people started showing up. Chase and Zoey showed up first.

"Hey babe," Kelsi said to Chase, obviously marking her territory, "Where were you?"
"Oh, Zoey and I--" Uh oh.

"Zoey and I were..." Kelsi continued.

"We were studying for a Spanish Test," Zoey jumped in.

"Funny, I don't remember, a Spanish Test..." Kelsi remarked.

"Uh..." Zoey was trapped.

"I was making up a test from when I was sick," Chase lied.

"Oh."
Vicki, Brad, and Glen Davis walked into the room quietly and started practicing their lines. Michael and Lola came next. The two were obviously love-struck.

The last four in were Logan and Gabriella and Troy and Dana, "Mr. Bolton, Miss Montez late, as usual."

Troy and Logan glared at each other. Gabriella mouthed to Dana, 'I thought you were my friend.' Dana gave Gabi the finger. Logan was holding something. Something that looked similar to—Troy's diary!
Miss Darbus had made up her mind that it was time to start.
After Nicole, Vicki, and Martha had went, Zoey was the last one to try out for Allison.

"ZOEY BROOKS! ZOEY FOR ALLISON!"
"Here goes nothing," she told herself.

(A/N: Again, my song)

" You're just another stupid guy, I'd fall for.

You're just another stupid guy. I'd die for.

You're just another stupid guy, I'd fight for.

You're just another stupid guy, I'd beg for.

You're just another, just another stupid guy.

You make me melt to the ground.

Yet, your oblivious to me.

You're just trying to get by,

Without a girl like me.

You're just another stupid guy, I'd fall for.

You're just another stupid guy. I'd die for.

You're just another stupid guy, I'd fight for.

You're just another stupid guy, I'd beg for.

You're just another, just another stupid guy.

You make me feel like I can fly

You make me so happy

Yet, your oblivious to me

You're worth trying for

And crying for

But your oblivious, oblivious to me!

You're just another stupid guy, I'd fall for.

You're just another stupid guy. I'd die for.

You're just another stupid guy, I'd fight for.

You're just another stupid guy, I'd beg for.

You're just another, just another stupid guy."

Zoey missed one note at the beginning, but recovered quickly.

Chase and Kelsi, since they wrote the play, had input on casting.

"Zoey should definitely get the part," Chase said immediately.

"I don't think so," Kelsi said, jealous.
"But she was best for the part!" Chase told her, "What are you jealous?"
Kelsi raised her voice, "Should I be? Is there something going on pretend you two?"
Everybody stared. Kelsi ran off.

Miss Darbus cleared her throat, "Well then, onto the guys..."
Zeke, Glen, and Brad had all gone, but did horribly. Who were they going to cast for Richard? Could OLLIE really sing.

Ollie cleared his throat, "I'm Sick and Tired of being treated like crap

Sick and Tired of being treated second best

Wish the favoritism would just go away

(laughs and says) I know I'm just fooling myself

They call me moody

They say I'm depressed
And I have to say with what's going on

I have say hell yes!

I'm Sick and Tired of being treated like crap

Sick and Tired of being treated second best

Wish the favoritism would just go away

(laughs and says) I know I'm just fooling myself

Hate this conspiracy against me

It never seems to stop

Can't go one day, one hour

Without not feeling loved

(pause) Or even feeling like I matter

I'm Sick and Tired of being treated like crap

Sick and Tired of being treated second best

Wish the favoritism would just go away

(laughs and says) I know I'm just fooling myself"

Ollie did good though. Ever one was surprised.

Then they went on to the pairs auditions.

"SHARPAY AND RYAN!"
Miss Darbus had agreed to let them sing a different song. They selected "Bop to the Top," although they lost with it once, they felt it was good enough to win the gold. And even Lola had to admit they nailed it.

Meanwhile, Logan motioned Dana to come outside.
"Thought you may want this, it's Troy's diary. I mean since your his girlfriend and all..." Logan trailed off, "The page is bookmarked, Ok?"

"What?" Dana asked. She turned to the diary entry. She was at first confused, but figured it out rather quickly. Logan was jealous. Dana slapped him, "You want me to dump Troy? So you stole his diary?"
"No, I wanted you to see that Troy likes Gabriella, because he's using you!" Logan shot at her.

"You idiot! Troy and I aren't even together. It was a ploy so he could steal Gabriella from you!" Dana told him. She ran off.

Logan just stood there, confused. Dana and Troy were never together? His plan had backfired. Now, Dana was more mad at him.

Miss Darbus called Troy and Dana, but Dana was no where to be seen. Miss Darbus said Logan and Gabi could go first, but Logan was missing too.

Miss Darbus concluded since Troy and Gabriella were both singing Breaking Free, they should just do it together.

"GABRIELLA AND TROY!"

It was awkward, Troy and Gabi singing when they were suppose to be mad at each other. They both still secretly liked each other, but they both thought each other liked someone else. They performed well together, though.

"AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, MICHAEL AND LOLA!"
Sharpay and Ryan got up from their seats slyly. They walked to a nearby janitor's closet.

"Ready, Mike?" Lola asked.

"Ready," He responded.

The song went perfectly until the end, just as Lola was about to take her bow...

"Ready, Sharpay?"
"Pull the Handle, Ryan!"

I bucket of honey poured onto Lola and Michael. A few seconds later, some feathers followed.

A/N: Wow, that's long because of the songs...go review.
