Hey, if anyone got two emails because of this, it's because i forgot to edit it! sorry! well, now here is kelsis view on the story. i thought she had did a lot that turned the story in different ways, and shes probably my fav character of the girls, because i can relate to her with being shy and quiet, and loving to write. ryan is in this one too. he is watching kelsi write it, and adding his own comments. a note: this is NOT a relsi, or what ever you want to call it! i just see these two as being potential friends, what with being bossed around by sharpay, and that interesting shared interest in hats...well, here's the next chapter, and thanks to anyone who reviewed, and i didnt put down. i think it was fanficxox. thanks you guys!

K- Hey Kelsi here. Ryan was talking to me the other day, and somehow convinced me to write up my own account of what happened, and how I helped out in the story. Now Ryan is a little more well-known than I am at school, but is usually in his sister's shadow. Whereas I'm in EVERYBODY'S shadow, partially because I'm so quiet, and being a head shorter than everyone doesn't help either. Well, anyway, Ryan was watching the movie again. (It's a tie between him, Sharpay, and Jason who watch the movie the most.) he seemed to notice that I was working behind the scenes too. And since we've actually gotten to be good friends, he sat down and said, (and these are his exact words) "Kelsi, I know you are disregarded, your talent ignored, and down beaten all the time, lots of time by my sister, and I think you should prove how influential you were." Ryan must be on a campaign to get the underdogs up or something, because normally he would have never said that. But I decided it was an okay idea, so here is my story, with some "helpful hints" from Ryan.

I've always been really quiet. I don't know why, but it must just be in my nature. It didn't help that in elementary school, whenever I tried to talk to people, the girls would just ignore me, or make fun of my comments. So I usually kept quiet, which became a habit that carried over to high school.

R- Aw, poor Kelsi.

K- That's not exactly helpful Ryan. Anyway, I always loved reading, and writing just came from that. It turns out that songwriting is more my thing than writing fiction, so I spent most of my time on songs.

R- And you're good at it too!

K- Thank you Ryan! That reminds me, the movie producers couldn't believe that a sixteen year-old girl wrote those songs. That was a compliment, because they are like the best of the best! Anyway, when winter break ended I actually wanted to get back to school, because I was ready to work on MY musical, even though I knew Sharpay and Ryan would butcher it. It was still mine. As for school, nothing seemed much different. Nobody was "breaking free" yet. I knew Gabriella was there; she was in my History class, but I didn't really take note of her. The next day was the auditions. Now Ryan may think they were funny-

R- They're, like I said before, freaking hilarious!

K- YOU might think so. It wasn't your music that they were butchering. Okay, let's start with Susan. Beforehand, she had asked me to mouth the words so she could follow along if she got lost. Well, I did that and it didn't exactly help. Next was Alan. Personally, I thought he dressed kind of weird, and he tried to remember the words by writing them on his hand, which is always sweaty, so obviously it smeared. Then there was Julia. Kind of distracting, with her leaning on the piano, and winking at Ms. Darbus. Cyndra was just plain painful to listen to. I think she broke one of my eardrums.

R- Not to mention a couple windows!

K- True! Now this was still before everyone started confessing their secrets. I was kind of friends with this one boy named Jared Olson. He secretly takes ballet, and that's why I looked so surprised when he leaped onto the stage. He actually did pretty well, until he missed that bucket off stage right. (A/N: Not sure if it was stage right or left….let's go with right!) Ms. Darbus summed up Erin and Luke's audition perfectly with one word: disturbing. There's just no other way to describe it. Then Angelina stepped up, and didn't even get one word out. (A/N: For any Harry Potter fans out there……I personally thought that that African-American girl who forgot all the words looked a lot like Angelina Johnson in the HP movies. Idk. Maybe, or maybe it's just me being weird again. Lol!)

And then Sharpay and Ryan got up there with their version of my song, that was FINE before, but that's not good enough for them-

R- I already said that I liked yours, but I liked ours better!

K- I know you did, but still…. Anyways, even they messed up on their too…..well actually Ryan messed up but-

R- Hey I CLEARLY told Sharpay that I was going to do the jazz square! And she then taps me on the shoulder, which we never even rehearsed, so I didn't think, and turned around-

K-Anyways, then Sharpay comes up and says that she's going to change everything, and that just made my day even better!

R- And then…….you tripped……changing the history of East High……..(ominously and dramatically, with a great pause…geez I'm great at this… now whispering…) forever.

K- Well, when you think about it that way, yeah I did. And I'm usually not clumsy. And if I hadn't tripped, they wouldn't have seen me, then they wouldn't have sang, and changed everything...hey you were right! I did make a difference!

R- Told you so.

K- Yeah, well Mr. Modest, they sang it just how I pictured it. It was perfect. Then Ms. Darbus comes in, and says they have a callback. I was excited, because here was a chance to finally get you and Sharpay out of the spotlight, and get in some new meat! And the next day, when Sharpay started screaming, I couldn't help but smile to myself.

R- (Faints from shock) Kelsi has a mean streak!! I would have never guessed it!! The mouse is evil!!

K- Okay I hate when people call me a mouse. And, if you are pushed around by egotistical, bigheaded, stuck-up, snobby people, who will do anything to be on top, you want to get back at them once in a while. And why do you keep putting in stage directions. We aren't in the theatre anymore you know.

R- (Looks offended.) Sorry, couldn't resist! Okay, first of all, I'm right here, I can read, (I have my contacts in now) and you do know that you're insulting the very person who offers his hand in friendship, offering you a chance to tell your side of the story, make things for your greater good, without even a thought of his gain from this! You can't even appreciate that! And secondly, all the things you listed above applies to how Sharpay treats me, if you remember! Also I love putting in stage directions. It gives you a sort of mental visual of what is happening!

K- Oookay! And also another interesting thing I heard that morning. Some guys shouting, "Maybe we're being Punk'd! Maybe we'll get to meet Ashton!" I wonder who that could be.

R- Oh, and you're telling me that suddenly the captain of the basketball team, and a science nerd decided to sing together isn't big new? That was the only logical explanation I could think of at the time! Plus, who wouldn't want to meet Ashton?

K- Whatever. You know, you could just tell Sharpay to bug off.

R- Oh yeah, I'm going to tell Sharpay to leave me alone. You know, I like my head the way it is: on my shoulders. And if I remember correctly, you never stood up to Sharpay before.

K- Okay, this is getting us nowhere.

R- Oh, you didn't deny it! Burn!

K- BACK TO THE STORY!!! That lunch was one of the weirdest ever! Everyone was confessing! It was interesting how they made it into a dance number in the movie! And if you notice, I wasn't dancing around like an idiot. I was watching the madness, just off to the side of you and Sharpay.

R- Good point I guess. Another thing I noticed is that out of the gang, Troy was the only one who wasn't in that scene. Chad, Jason, and Zeke were dancing with the jocks, Sharpay, you, and me were watching the madness, with some singing from me and Sharpay, and then Taylor and Gabriella had that little cameo. Weird huh?

K- You notice the weirdest things….although, when you think about it, it is true! And it wasn't a "cameo." They had a full part in the song. You are too involved with drama stuff!

R- Hey, you got it, flaunt it! (Grins triumphantly.)

K- Sigh. Next up. Troy and Gabriella came in at separate times to practice with me, and they were sounding better and better every day. They finally got a chance to practice together, and sounded completely awesome! Then you and Sharpay had to ruin everything.

R- I still can't believe that you were hiding behind the piano the whole time!

K- Well, being short and quiet has its advantages. Then the next day, I was able to warn Troy and Gabriella what you guys were up to. And from there, they formed a plan. So I guess if it wasn't for me, they would have never known what you guys were planning.

R- Quick question. So Kelsi, if I am correct in my assumptions, this is where you first met Jason? Because I know Troy and his boys travel everywhere together.

K- Actually no. Remember that group project we worked on in Social Studies? (A/N: This is from the story that I wrote called: The REAL Story Behind Jelsi. Short one-shot. Cute and fluffy. Check it out if you want to know that story. My version, of course, not the real version. It's under my profile.)

R- Oh yeah, that's right! Ha Ami was totally hitting on him! That was really funny!

K- It was, wasn't it? Well, I wasn't really involved in the plan that much, except to try and stall Ms. Darbus while waiting for them. Which turned out to be a complete waste of time.

R- Sooo, what did you think of "Bop To The Top?"

K- At the time, I would have hated to admit it, but now I will: you guys were awesome! Your dancing especially was great!

R- (Blushes.) Aw, shucks. Thanks!

K- "Shucks?"

R- Looong story.

K- Right. Well. And again with the stage directions! I ran off the stage, but when I heard their voices, I stopped. That's when I ran back on, to finally help. I have to admit; I got kind of into it, and even kicked back the stool, and stood up and played.

R- That was my favorite part of the whole song! (A/N: mine too!) Very Broadway.

K- Glad you approve. Then I even got to take a bow, which is new, because no one ever congratulated me on something before.

R- Well, now they have. Congrats by the way!

K- Thanks! And then the game was actually kind of fun to watch! I usually don't go to games, but I thought I ought to support Troy. So then I saw Chad be real smooth, and interrupt Troy and Gabriella's kiss. (A/N: Watch, and you will see Kelsi standing by the bleachers, looking kinda uncomfortable.) Then there was your big help to Sharpay and Zeke. Then Troy comes up behind me, hands me the CHAMPIONSHIP BALL!!!! Which would have probably been kept by the school, and treasured for ages, and then Jason came up behind me, took my hat off, and helped me shoot the ball into the basket, which I could never do before, and actually make it!

R- Ah, the power of love! Must be nice, huh?

K- Oh get over it. You'll get a girlfriend one of these days!

R- Yeah like who? Jaclyn Waldvogel?

K- Yeah, a perfect match!

R- Ha-ha, very funny.

K- Then it was off to the after party, and the rest is history!

R- Yep! Thanks for writing this Kels!

K- Anytime!

A NOTE FROM KELSI:

Well, I just have to say, Ryan was right. I did have some influence on how things went. I just didn't know it! If Olivia Vaughan could see me now! The popular girl in my elementary school, who always said I wouldn't amount to anything, and would do nothing of importance. Ha! Oh well. I guess I'll have to just savor my victory myself.

A NOTE FROM RYAN:

Well, look who was right! I always felt Kelsi was left out, kind of like me. She did have more influence on things than me I guess, but it's all good! I also think we're closer friends now, because of this. Her viewpoint was kind of surprising at some points. I wonder what everyone else's was like. Maybe I can get them to write theirs too. I bet most of Chad's will be about Troy not "sticking to the status quo" and a whole load of junk about basketball. Oh well. Until next time, this was: Ryan Evans! Thank you ladies and gentlemen!

yay another chapter done! this one took me a while to write because i was also doing my research paper: on alien sightings. yeah weird subject, but cool! i was grounded while writing this, so i no longer have to do it in secrecy, and the chapters will quicker now! i got my math grade up, for those who commented on that! lol! the next chapter might be from sharpay's viewpoint, because i can see ryan approaching her about it. r&r time! you see that little button down there that says "go." well, push it, and tell me what you thought!
