"Come on! Competitions start in 10 minutes, we are late!" Gabriella screamed to the guys bunk.

"Sorry, geez, calm down woman." Chad replied, earning a smack in the head by Taylor and Kelsi.

"Respect us, cause without us, you would have probably hurt yourself somehow." Sharpay said.

"Listen to them or you will earn another smack in the head by all of them." Zeke said.

"Yeah yeah." Chad said rolling his eyes, earning more smacks this time by Kelsi and Gabriella. "Ok we are coming."

"Thank you." Gabriella replied, walking out of the door.

The girls followed, while the guys ran to catch up.

"So where are we headed today?" Jason asked.

"It says that we have to go to the lake, I think we are having a canoeing contest or something." Taylor replied.

"Oh goody, good thing me and Shar know how to conoe." Ryan replied.

"Shar knows how to conoe?" Kelsi asked.

"I never thought that Sharpay would want to learn." Gabriella added.

"Yeah yeah, your lucky I know how cause it might help us." Sharpay replied.

The friends walked up to the part of the lake with the boats. They were greeted by the counciler, and another team.

"Ok, welcome to the second day of competitions. Team New Mexico will be facing off against team Indianna. Welcome." The counciler explained. "You will be having a conoeing contest, around different obsticles."

"Ok, that will be easy." Ryan whispered.

"But there is a problem. The other team will get to pick who is the captain of the canoes, and you can only listen to your captains." The counciler said.

"Great." Chad said.

"Ok, so each team pick the conoe captain."

Each group scanned eachother, thinking of what person to choose. You had to choose the person who would think that they didn't know how to choose.

"I think that we should pick the two kids talking over there." Kelsi said, pointing.

"Kels is right, those two are talking about some cartoon." Gabriella said.

"Are the teams ready to choose the captains?" The counciler asked. The two teams nodded their heads.

"We choose the blonde girl and boy." A girls said, pointing to Sharpay and Ryan.

"Piece of cake." Sharpay whispered.

"And we choose those two boys over there." Taylor said, pointing to the two boys who were talking about cartoons.

"Huh what?" The two asked.

"You 4 will be the captains of your teams. Give instructions on the boats to manuver around the different obsticles, go and get your life jackets on and get onto a conoe." The conciler said as the kids started to put on life jackets.

"Do you think they picked me cause I am wearing pink?" Sharpay asked.

All of the friends stared at her and replied with "yeah."

The wildcats got into two different canoes. Each canoe could fit 5 people, so Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Zeke and Kelsi went in one. And Jason, Ryan, Taylor and Chad went into the other.

"Ok, so look at the cones. The cones want you to follow the path into the middle of the lake, then they want you to do a figure eight." Ryan said to the gang, pointing to the orange cones.

"Yeah Ryan is right, so we will row the canoe to the middle and we will take it from there." Sharpay said, as they started to take off.

"Back, foward, back, foward." Ryan and Sharpay instructed to move the ores.

"Ok, so the other team is behind us." Kelsi stated.

"Yeah, because we chose the two who didn't know anything about this." Zeke said.

The friends canoed for another 15 minutes and then got to the middle.

"Ok, what do we do now?" Gabriella asked, looking into the water. "Look, little fishies."

"Aww." Taylor said, looking at the fish under the water. "They are small."

"Guys, watch it, we might tip." Troy said, leaning to the opposite side.

"Oops." Gabriella said.

"Yeah, Troy is right, watch out, we don't want to fall in." Sharpay said.

"So what do we do now?" Chad asked.

"Ok, so we have to row the canoe in like a circle to stay inside of the cones. The very front people will have to just row on the right side, since we have to turn left." Ryan instructed.

The friends started to row, rowing to the right.

"Ok, now we have to row to the left, since we are turning right." Sharpay said.

"Watch it!" Jason said, as they hid something in the water.

"What did we hit?" Chad asked.

The friends looked into the water, something eerie was under them.

"Shoot, I forgot to wear the necklace." Gabriella said.

"Move." Troy said.

"What?" Taylor asked.

"He said, move! Move it." Sharpay said, as the friends frantically tried to manuver away from whatever that was.

The water rippled as the two canoes moved through the water quickly. The eerie object moved towards them.

"Hurry!" Gabriella said, looking behind them.

"Great." Chad said, sarcastically.

The friends quickened their pase.

"And of course, he doesn't look." Kelsi said. The counciler wasn't looking, he was too busy drinking his soda.

"Wow, I bet he is getting paid a lot." Ryan said sarcastically.

"Ok, I like the jokes and all, but whatever that thing is, it is still following us." Taylor said, as they all looked behind.

They were now cruising the water, almost at land. The other team looked at them like they were crazy. Since the other team was on another course, they had no idea what was going on, but htey figured out they were going to lose.

"Hey look." Gabriella said, as they reached land, jumping out of the canoes. She pointed to the water.

The counciler had looked into the water right before Gabriella had said anything.

"Woah." Jason said.

"It's gone." Sharpay stated.

"Whats gone?" The counciler asked.

"There was-" Jason started.

"Nothing." Gabriella quickly cut in.

Her friends looked at her weirdly, but the counciler shrugged it off.

"You guys have won the second part of the competitions, great job!" The counciler said. "You will move on to the next round, you may go to your bunks now."

The friends took off their life jackets, and quickly ran to their bunks, wanting to have a discussion about what just happened...


What people sit in Troy's row (behind him) in Miss Darbus' class?
