Chapter 3:Sign-ups

Thanks to those who reviewed! By the way, I'll make this chapter in Drea's POV.

Chapter 2 Recap…

They waited for Ryan and Drea to exchange their "Hi"s and Sharpay asked Ryan if he wanted to watch the movie too. Ryan was about to say no, but he wanted to get to know Drea more. He said "Fine" and sat down beside Drea. Drea blushed a little bit, but no one noticed.

End of chapter recap

It was Friday, the next morning. Drea woke up and got ready for school. She picked out some clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. She was wearing a blue sleeveless top with white pants and sandals. Her hair was straight at the top and became wavy at the bottom. She decided to audition for the musical, besides, if she didn't get any part, she could always volunteer to play guitar, since Kelsi played piano for the musicals already.

She ate her cereal fast, because she didn't want to be late for school. She knew she was 45 minutes early, but could it be that she wanted to see someone? A certain twin maybe? A guy twin? ((A/N: This is so sucky. But it just came to me. Haha))

She walked to school, and she passed Sharpay's house. She was just a block away from her. She was going to ring the doorbell, then Ryan came out and she dropped her books because she was surprised.

'Oh, I am so sorry. I didn't know you were…I'm sorry." Ryan bent down to help Drea fix her books.

"No, it's okay, I didn't call to say I was coming…"Drea was turning red, and guess what? So was Ryan.

They were just standing there awkwardly until Sharpay came out the door.

"Oh, hey, Drea! Ryan, are we using your car or mine? Drea, you're going to come with us, right?" It seemed as if Sharpay wouldn't ever run out of breath, at least no when talking.

"We can use my car, either one is okay." Replied Ryan

"Yeah, I'll go with you guys, if it's okay."

"Of course, it's okay. You're a friend. Never mind, we'll use my car. I'll drive"

"Well, why did you ask me in the first place?" Ryan looked annoyed at Sharpay, and Drea was laughing.

Sharpay could sense that Drea and Ryan liked each other, it was an actress thing. She smiled at how smart she was, then turned to Ryan and winked. Ryan just looked at her and had this confused look in his face. Sharpay giggled, and said "Okay, let's go…I' will never be late."

Ryan helped Drea into the car, even though he had a cast ((A/N: Or whatever you call that thing you get when you have a sprain)) and both of them blushed, Sharpay just couldn't stop smiling.

They reached the school in 20 minutes, just in time for homeroom.

"Okay, drama club, the sign-up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board during lunch. I hope all of you will be auditioning or volunteering to help with the stage decorations. Now, I suppose all is well today?"

Mr. Vanders looked around the class, Troy and Gabi were not there. "Hold on, looks like we're a few teacups short of the whole set." ((A/N: LOL))

He looked at Taylor. "Ms. Taylor, do you know where our 2 students have gone?"

Taylor shrugged, and righ after, Troy and Gabi came in. Troy's hair was messy and Gabi's hair was pulled into a messy ponytail. They were both blushing…really bad.

"And what is the reason you have reached this class so late?" asked Mr. Vanders

Gabi and Troy blushed even harder.

"Well, Mr. Vanders—-well…you see…" Troy was trying to think of a good excuse, and Gabi wasn't feeling so smart either.

Mr. Vanders just laughed and looked a the two teens. "Just make sure you get on class on time next time."

Troy and Gabi both looked confused yet pleased and headed to their seats.

"Now, everyone's dismissed, head to your classes, and make sure you will not be late to any of them."

Troy and Gabi continued blushing and the rest of their gang laughed.

It was lunch time again, and Drea sat at their usual lunch table near the Wildcats, Ryan sat with the Wildcats, and not with the 5 girls, he didn't want to be that obvious. He sensed that Sharpay knew he liked Drea. Call it a twin thing.

Drea and Sharpay sat in the far end of the table, away from the Wildcats. The others sat nearer to the guys.

They were all eating lunch when Sharpay looked at Drea. "Now, Drea, you like my brother, don't you?" asked Sharpay, catching Drea unawares.

"WHA-?" Drea couldn't even finish her sentence because Sharpay and the others started laughing, they all got weird looks from the guys and stopped.

Drea blushed, just like Gabi, and whispered 'How did you know? Am I that obvious? Is there something about me that you can tell? Are you a mind reader or something?" Drea was now rambling, and Kelsi couldn't stop laughing.

"Girl, you're rambling. Chill." Taylor was smiling at the thought of Drea having a crush on Ryan.

"Haha, I bet Ryan likes you too." Gabi was smiling at Drea, being the nice girl and all.

"Really?" Drea looked doubtful.

"Look, let's talk at my house later. We have to sign up, remember?" Gabi reminded them.

"Oh, yeah…almost forgot."

They whole group went to the bulletin board and lined up to sign their names on the pink sign-up sheet. Drea and Ryan were at the end of the line, thanks to Sharpay. ((A/N: She might have changed, but she's still scheming.)) Ryan was smiling, and Drea was looking at Sharpay, her look seemed to say "Help!" Sharpay just chuckled quietly and did a thumbs-up sign.

"So, you signing up for the musical too?" Ryan asked.

Ryan, what a dumb question! She's lining up, right? Ugh, how could you be so stupid? ((A/N: Ryan's thoughts are italicized and Drea's thoughts will be bold.))

"Oh, yeah, theatre is great. I loved it since I was in the 4th grade,"

"Cool. Good luck in auditions, then."

"Thanks."

They were in the front of the line now, and they signed their names…

"Andrea Cruz"

"Ryan Evans"

They smiled at each other, and headed to class.

Andrea had Science next, so did Ryan. They were the only ones in the group who had science.

"Well, I guess we have science together, right? Since we're going the same direction, want me to walk you there?" Ryan asked.

"Oh, uhm, yeah, science…sure." Drea answered.

Ohmigosh, I'm rambling again. He must think I'm such a ditz, he might not want to be friends with me…he…he…no, my face is getting hotter. Oh, what's wrong with me?

"Drea, are you okay? you look a little red…maybe you have a fever? I'll take you to the nurses' office." Ryan really looked worried.

Aww…he's so sweet. He cares!

"No, I'm okay, Ryan. Thanks anyway."

They walked to science class together, and Sharpay was spying on them. She looked very pleased with herself.

"Haha, I rock!" she whispered and went to her Home Economics class that she signed up for with Zeke.
