Sharpay Evans sat on a soft, comfortable chair in her living room. She was busily and carefully painting her toenails a light peach color, the same color as her fingernails.

Across the room from Sharpay was her twin brother Ryan. He was sprawled across the couch, reading a book about some sort of fantasy world. Ryan had always been interested in magic and things like that. He really loved all those fantasy books, like Harry Potter and such.

Sharpay and Ryan had just graduated from East High a few days before. They had both been accepted to East Northern University of New Mexico, or as it was abbreviated, ENUNM.

In the kitchen, which was in clear sight of the living room, Sharpay and Ryan's little sister Kay was helping their mother make dinner. Kay was 11 years old and had just graduated elementary school. She was excited to be going to middle school next year.

The last of the Evans children would be Benny, who was 4 years old. He was almost 5, though. Benny and Mr. Evans were both off playing at the park.

"Oh, kids, don't forget, Grandma is coming to visit tomorrow," Mrs. Evans reminded her children, who all seemed bored with the mention of Grandma. Grandma wasn't very old, but she was awfully boring.

Grandma always talked to the children as if she didn't want them to understand what she meant. As if she wanted to shield them from what she really knew…it was scary.

Sharpay was finally finished painting her nails. Just as she was getting up from the chair, her cell phone rang. She pulled it out of her pocket. The caller ID said Grandma. Ugh.

After a while, Mrs. Evans insisted that Sharpay answer her phone. So Sharpay did, begrudgingly. "Hi Grandma," Sharpay answered, rolling her eyes.

After a few minutes and a couple of "okays" and "all rights," Sharpay hung up the phone. "What was that about?" Ryan asked curiously. Grandma rarely ever called her grandchildren on their cell phones.

"She wanted to make sure we would all be home when she came to visit, especially me. She says she has some very important news. She says it will probably change our lives forever, or at least just our college lives," Sharpay answered as nonchalantly as possible. She really didn't think that the call was a big deal, even though in about 24 hours it would prove to be the most important news of her life.

Sharpay woke up early the next morning. She stretched for a while and then finally got out of bed. She opened her curtains and the sunlight spread throughout her entire room, which was enormous, considering the Evans were the richest family in Albuquerque.

Sharpay headed downstairs quietly. She was pouring herself a bowl of cereal when she heard a "Boo!" from behind her. Sharpay screamed at the top of her lungs and dropped her cereal; the bowl broke into two neat halves when it crashed onto the floor.

Grandma laughed heartily. "I'm sorry Sharpay, I didn't mean to scare you that badly," Grandma bent down to help Sharpay pick up the cereal, milk, and the broken bowl.

Sharpay smiled a little. Her Grandma seemed much more pleasant and happy and well, more normal this visit, unlike her other visits when she just moped and shrugged.

After the mess was all cleaned up, Sharpay led her Grandma into the living room and they sat down on the couch. "So, Grandma, what was the important news you said you had to tell us kids?" Sharpay asked curiously.

"When, it's actually just you, Ryan, and Kay. Benny is too young to understand," Grandma explained. "But anyway, I can't tell you now, I have to wait until al three of you are here."

"Oh, well, I can go wake up Ryan and Kay if you want," Sharpay offered, standing up quickly. She was anxious to hear the news.

"No, it's alright honey," Grandma said, laughing as she pulled Sharpay back on the couch. "I was planning to tell you all the news tonight anyway."

"Oh, yeah, Grandma, I thought you were coming tonight just before dinner. It's only 8:00 in the morning, why'd you come so early?" Sharpay asked, not meaning to sound impolite.

"Well I just wanted to surprise you all. I guess I only really surprised you, I don't think anyone else will be as startled as you were," Grandma was laughing again. Sharpay smiled. Grandma was in such a good mood!

"Okay, well I can't wait to hear the news," Sharpay said with a smile as they both stood up. "Grandma, do Mom and Dad know the news already?"

"Oh, well your mom knows, not your dad," Grandma explained. Grandma was Mom's mom, not Dad's.

Sharpay couldn't wait to hear the news! She didn't know how she would wait until dinner!
