Ms. Darbus's Classroom

Troy and Gabriella were sitting beside each other talking quietly. While Sharpay and Ryan quickly entered the classroom and approached Ms.Darbus who was sitting on her desk. Sharpay came up to her with a big grin on her face.

"Hi Ms. Darbus you look lovely today" Sharpay complimented with ease as if she's been doing this for awhile now.

Ms.Darbus looked up from her desk and gave Sharpay a big smile," Why thank you Sharpay." The class got noisier and noisier by the second so Ms.Darbus stood up and shouted, "Kids please settle down"

The students stopped talking and faced Ms.Darbus who looks surprised by the obedience. Sharpay and Ryan quickly sat in a seat nearby and was listening intently to what Ms.Darbus was about to say.

"Now as you know my Spring Musical production is coming up and I would like it to be as successful as our last musical. Now the sign up sheet is right outside. For this musical we have four major parts and it would be a delight to see new faces and old ones too." Ms.Darbus announced and stared right at Troy, Gabriella, Ryan, and Sharpay.

The bell suddenly rings and the students quickly leaves the room. Troy and Gabriella quickly went to the sign up sheet. The two looked at each other.

"Should we do this?" Troy asks doubtfully

"Do you want to? With the basketball and my decathlon team…" Troy cut her off with a small smile and answered, "Yeah. Singing with you was amazing Gabs. And I would be an idiot if I said that I'd never do it again."

Gabriella blushed and looked away. She takes out a pen and writes both her name and Troy's. The two walk away talking busily about the song they should sing. While the two left Ryan and Sharpay quickly came to the sheet and Sharpay groaned when she saw the two names.

"Uh…they signed up." Sharpay sighed

"Relax Sharpay. Don't you remember there are four parts so it's going to be you, me, Gabriella and Troy. It's perfect." Ryan explained. He sees Alex walking through the halls and he waves her over. She walks towards them and stands beside Sharpay.

"So they signed up?" Alex asks

"Yeah" Sharpay answered

"Well why does it matter anyway? There's four parts and everyone in this School knows that you, Ryan, Troy, and Gabriella are the best singers they have."

"See she agrees with me." Ryan smiles at Alex who blushes and smiles back.

"I don't get in anyway aren't you guys and my brother friends now? You even eat at the same lunch table." Alex pointed out.

"We are friends but that doesn't mean that just because were now friends with Gabriella and your brother were going to be all soft and let them take all the lead roles. It's friendly competition." Sharpay explained to her.

"If you say so. So when's the audition?" Alex asks

"Friday" Ryan answers as he reads the paper.

"So we have four days? Good we need a piano player. Our normal piano player quit I have no idea why though. Alex you can play the piano right?" Sharpay asks.

"Um…yeah" Alex answers hesitantly

"Good. Come with us to the music room were gonna practice." Sharpay walked towards the music room.

"Okay?" Alex answered confused. Ryan was right beside her and whispered, "And this is on a good day."

Alex smiles at Ryan as the two follow behind Sharpay.
