The gang sat at lunch. Gabriella and Taylor were talking about some complicated property of physics. Sharpay was yelling at Ryan for being, well, Ryan. Chad was pigging out over his lunch while Zeke shared helpful baking tips with Jason and Kelsi sat in the corner, quiet as usual. Troy smiled to himself. It had always been this way since… well ever. (The story now goes into flashback mode)
It was the first day of kindergarten. Kids were outside on the playground getting acquainted while their parents chatted with the teacher. The sand box apparently was where the children were gathering. A little blonde girl stood up and yelled at another brunette with glasses, "This is my sand!" She pointed to the other end of the sand box, "You can have that sand over there. It's wet." The other girl whined, "But I don't like wet sand." The blonde girl nodded, "Me either that's why you got to go play in it. I'm Sharpay by the way." The other girl tried to reason, "I'm Kelsi. Can we be friends?" "No" Sharpay said simply, "Now go play over there." Kelsi stood up and trudged off. Another little boy had his head in his lap and was sniffling uncontrollably. The blonde girl bent down and put her arm around him, "Ryan, what's wrong?" she asked. "I have a tummy ache." He cried. "I told you to stop eating the sand." She said. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. Another boy arrived, late. The blonde smiled at him, "Hi! I'm Sharpay. What's your name?" "Troy." The boy replied. "Ya wanna help me build a sand castle?" Sharpay asked. Troy shrugged, "Sure." They began building in silence for a minute. Then a slightly taller kid with lots of curly brown hair noticed Troy, "Hi!" he called. "I'm Chad." "Hi." Troy replied. "Do ya wanna come play with the boys? Girls have cooties." He looked at Sharpay. She stuck her tongue out at him. Troy shrugged again, "Okay." "HEY!" Sharpay screamed, "You can't do that!" "Why not?" Troy asked, "I want to play with them." Sharpay reached down and grabbed a fistful of sand and heaved it at him. Unfortunately for Troy, she had perfect aim. Most of it went in his eyes and some went up his nose as well. Troy ran off to the teacher crying. Sharpay giggled. Chad shook his head, "That was mean." "No." Sharpay replied, "You were mean. I don't have cooties. And building sand castles is better than burying sticks in the sand." "No it's not" Chad argued.
"Yes it is."
"No it's not"
"Yes it is"
No it's not"
"Yes it is"
"No it's not"
"YES IT IS"
"NO IT'S NOT"
That could have gone on forever if the teacher had not come up just then and grabbed Sharpay by the arm. "Come with me young lady" she said sharply. Sharpay didn't like being handled that way one bit. She began screaming and kicking the teacher violently. The teacher finally gave up trying to pull Sharpay buy the hand and picked her up but held her away from her body as if Sharpay was invested with germs. She carried her back to the class room with Sharpay kicking the air and screaming, "Let me go!" the whole time. When they finally entered the class room the teacher set Sharpay on the ground causing her to finally shut up. She crossed her arms, "Hmph." she pouted. The teacher spoke in a brisk tone, "I will not tolerate this type of behavior. You look like such a nice young lady. I can't understand why you would throw sand in a boy's eyes"- she gestured over to where Troy sat in a small red chair with a tear streaked face- "And then kick me when I try to get you to come with me." Sharpay glared at the teacher, "My mommy will be hearing about this!" She stated and stuck her chin in the air. Troy giggled from his chair, "Won't your mommy be angry?" Sharpay gave him a nasty look, "No it's your fault." The teacher rolled her eyes and said to Sharpay, "And how, pray tell, is this Troy's fault?" "He wanted to burry sticks with Chad but we hadn't finished our sand castles." The teacher nodded, "Well I'm sorry but that still gives you no excuse to injure him." Sharpay nodded. "Can I go play now?" she asked. "Apologize first." The teacher instructed. Sharpay sighed and walked over to Troy, "Sorry" she said. She looked over her shoulder to make sure the teacher wasn't looking, then crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out at Troy. Then she ran off.
Troy smiled looking around the lunch table. "Ryan!!!" Sharpay shrieked, "You are such an idiot you-"You haven't changed a bit" Troy said with a laugh. Sharpay glared at him, "Whatever Bolton, it's rude to interrupt." He shrugged. "I just mean you've always been so feisty! Do you remember kindergarten?"
A/N: I might do a whole series if you liked this preview of just high school musical kindergarten days. I'll use all the characters even though Gabi wasn't around then. She will be. Should I? let me know please.
