In her giant bed, Kelsi awoke the next morning. She had gotten a great night's sleep and she was ready for the new day. She figured everyone was going to suck up to her but she didn't realize how much.
As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Sharpay walking quickly down the hallway towards her, dragging Ryan behind her.
"Hey Kels, can we talk to you in private? How about in here?" Sharpay asked, motioning to Kelsi's door. Without letting Kelsi answer, she said "Thanks, you're a doll."
Kelsi followed Sharpay into her own room reluctantly. She glanced at Ryan who gave her a half smile and a shrug.
"Alright Kelsi darling, I've decided to take you under my wing." Sharpay said, pacing back and forth in front of the bed. Kelsi sighed and sunk deeper into her chair.
"So what do you say to joining me and Ryan's alliance?" Sharpay questioned a little harshly.
"It's a very generous offer Sharpay, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to keep my options open right now." Kelsi said and then got up to leave the room. She was starving and didn't want to hear Sharpay sucking up anymore.
Still in the room, Ryan was very worried. He doesn't like it when things don't go his sister's way because she gets mad. And she usually takes her anger out on him.
"Don't worry Shar, we still have time to change her mind." Ryan tried to comfort Sharpay.
"Oh silly Ryan. I knew that was what she was going to say. My plan hasn't even begun yet." Sharpay winked and left a confused Ryan standing in Kelsi's room.
In the Kitchen.
"Ah Zeke, the man of the hour." Chad yelled. "So, whatcha cookin?"
"I'm cooking slop soup." Zeke said proudly.
"Slop soup! I thought you were a chef. That doesn't sound very appealing." Chad said, wrinkling his nose.
"Actually Chad, I'm a baker. There's a difference you see…"
"I don't care! Just tell me what I'm about to eat!" Chad commanded.
"Oh, well the house has nothing but this stuff they call slop and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So there isn't much to eat. I thought I'd try making soup." Zeke explained.
"Eh, oh well. Pass the slop." Chad said.
Taylor paid Chad a disgusted look and continued eating her only jelly sandwich. After all, it was only 9 A.M. slop wasn't exactly Taylor's first choice.
Troy and Gabriella had walked into the kitchen at the same time from separate exits. They smiled at each other but remained silent while getting some "slop" from Zeke.
They each sat down at the table where Chad was ranting to Jason about how Ketchup would make the slop taste ten times better. And he continued on about why Ketchup was such an important invention.
Gabriella and Troy had tuned him out while shyly exchanging small smiles throughout the meal.
Unfortunately, Cyndra ruined their moment when she came in singing an opera song at the top of her lungs. After that, Alan came in wearing his pajamas, complaining about what all the ruckus was.
Troy got up and washed his bowl and then went out to the living room. Martha was sitting on the couch next to Kelsi, obviously sucking up. Kelsi didn't seem to mind though.
A few minutes later, Kelsi excused herself and went to the diary room.
To the Camera.
"This power definitely has everyone paying more attention to me. Who ever knew the short gal could be such a threat? Hehe. Yeah, I can tell Sharpay and Ryan really want to get on my good side now but I'm not sure I want them there. I don't think they can be trusted. Martha is a sweet girl so I think I'll keep her but I'm still not sure who to nominate yet. The twins are high on my list though.
Kelsi got up to leave and Gabriella enters.
"Hi America! Well, there's this guy Troy and I really think I'm starting to like him. He gives me these cute smiles but he never really talks to me. Well, we'll see how this works out. Anyway, I think I should go talk to Kelsi for a while. Bye bye!
Gabriella exits the room and walks to Kelsi's HOH room.
Meanwhile, Sharpay enters the Diary room.
"Alright, I know my plot is slightly cruel but hey this is a game where it's every man for himself right? So yeah, this plan is awesome! Definitely one of my finest. I don't even have to do anything! Ryan is like my evil little henchman. Maybe I should go check on him and see if he's carrying out my plan. Toodles!
Oh, By the way, if you want to know my plan, you'll just have to wait and see.
Back with Gabriella.
Knocking softly on the door, Gabriella hears Kelsi say "Come in!"
Gabriella walked into the large room and immediately loved it. "Wow Kelsi! You're so lucky!"
"Well it's only mine for a week. You never know, it might be yours next." Kelsi said with a smile.
"Ok, well I'm obviously here to talk about your nominees." Gabriella laughed. "So, any ideas of who it's gonna be?"
"Actually no not yet but I was thinking…"
Just then, Ryan walked into the room.
"Thanks for knocking!" Kelsi said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh I'm sorry." Ryan said honestly. "I was just wondering…umm…do you have…umm…a bottle or something?" Ryan asked, unsure of what he was saying and why Sharpay was making him do this.
"There's a vase on the coffee table in the living room" Gabriella said jokingly.
"Err thanks." Ryan left hesitantly.
"That was strange." Kelsi said. "Anyway I'm not sure who to nominate yet. I was thinking maybe I'd take votes from the other houseguests and go by majority rules, you know?"
"Yeah." Gabriella replied. "Maybe you should think about locking your door, Kelsi."
Kelsi looked over at the door where Jason had just burst in.
"Girls! It's really important! We need you in the living room now!" Jason shouted and then ran out.
Just a little cliffy there for you. Tell me what you think :)
