Another day, the third day after Gabriella's star struck idea, to create herself into another person and see exactly what her friends reacted and discovered.

So far, the only person who had discovered was Kelsi. When Gabriella had finished her one week of school pretending to be Vanessa, Kelsi could be a new source of good eyes as a new skill.

Vanessa woke up nice and early and ran out of her bedroom, towards the bathroom. No-one was awake. Gabriella hadn't told her parents, especially her mother, that she was pretending to be someone else. All she had told her was that she was using a new style of hair. Instead of asking her mother to take her to school, she agreed to walk to school, because if anyone caught her taking a ride with her real mother, then they'd know straight away that she wasn't a new student.

Vanessa grabbed her school bag and began walking to school, an advantage of walking to school on early mornings was that you weren't seen walking out of your real house. Walking home late was also advantage, except you sometimes do have to look out for students going to specialist activities driving past your house.

The students who had also arrived early were packed in the school entrance, the school was locked until 8:00AM. Vanessa peered at her watch, it read 7:20AM. 'Long to go,' Vanessa thought. She sat on the ground and read her book.

Before long Kelsi walked in, it was 10 minutes to 8. "Hey Vanessa," she said as she walked through the door. Vanessa raised her hand without looking up but it meant as if to say 'hi.'

Today would be a shorter day than normal, because there were parent-teacher interviews. Vanessa didn't have to worry about it, because Ms. Darbus just told her yesterday, "Don't worry about taking this parent-teacher notice home today, because you haven't been at East High for very long. Just tell your parents that you've been very good and we will meet up later this year."

Vanessa/Gabriella just decided to not mention anything to her parents. It would cause too much of a stir.

Ring! The bell rang to begin the day of school. "Come on!" Kelsi shouted as she tugged Vanessa up from where she was sitting.

"Hang on! Let me pack up," Vanessa said, resisting her tug.

"We want to get in the classroom so we can have a look at Ms. Darbus' new props for her new 'Drama Lessons,'" Kelsi explained.

"I'm ready, let's go," Vanessa announced.

Off they went, running towards the classroom, climbing stairs as fast as they could without tripping and dodging students trying to dodge them. Everyone was heading to Ms. Darbus' classroom. Posters hung around everywhere had the words in giant letters 'COME TO MS. DARBUS' CLASSROOM TO SEE THE NEW COSTUMES TODAY AT LUNCH BREAK, BEFORE SCHOOL OR JUST BEFORE PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIEWS BEGIN.'

As Vanessa and Kelsi came near the classroom, they could hear Ms. Darbus' voice screaming over the others, "EXCUSE ME CHILDREN! QUIET! QUIET! I REPEAT, QUIET! CLEAR THE WAY SO I CAN ACTUALLY REACH THE BOX!" It sounded like chaos was happening. Without a moment to loose, Vanessa and Kelsi ran to the door and looked through the windows.

Ms. Darbus' head was bopping around and was slowly making her way to her desk. Kelsi saw Cindy leaning on the door inside, so since she was so mean to them when they accidentally travelled to the third floor. She'd get something back from them. "You grab the door knob, then we'll walk to our lockers like nothing happened," Kelsi whispered.

Vanessa grabbed the doorknob and pushed it down. It flung open and out came Cindy, she stumbled back a bit, then fell on her bottom and screamed. People from inside peered at her for a while, then looked back at Ms. Darbus, they didn't want to miss any action. There were other people around the doors, so it didn't look much like Vanessa and Kelsi did it. Vanessa walked to her locker, pulled it open and was showing Kelsi a photo of a map. The students standing around the door began laughing, and that's not a good thing to do when someone falls out the door angry. "Now! WHICH ONE OF YOU HERE DID THIS?!" Cindy screamed at the people laughing at her around the doorway. Compared to Ms. Darbus' scream, her scream was like a whisper. She never caught who actually did it, so it was OK.

About half an hour after school started, the crowd gradually came out of the classroom. Troy, Vanessa, Kelsi, Taylor and Chad were standing restlessly at the doorway with their books in their hands. "Great way to go to school but not study!" Chad said enthusiastically.

"Please clear out of the classroom children, we have our Year 11's trying to get in because the day is starting, you'll have to explain to your teacher why you're so incredibly late when you return back to class!" Ms. Darbus announced in a rush, as she led the students that weren't in her class out the door and ushered her students inside.

It took a while for most of the other students to fix their eyes away from the new costumes and direct them towards the doorway. "Come back later!" Ms. Darbus screamed as they walked out. They looked back and nodded. "Take a seat," Ms. Darbus announced to the whole class whilst shutting the door and hanging a sign stating 'Come back later' on the door. "As you all know, as you were all waiting outside, I was showing students some of my new costumes. I'll show you them now so you don't have to come back at lunch break and make the classroom even squishier," Ms. Darbus announced. Ms. Darbus pulled out a trunk and turned the golden key and the lid flung open. "As you all know, there are Parent-Teacher interviews are today, so after lunch break, we have 15 minutes in, then we're going out," Ms. Darbus added.

Ms. Darbus took out the costumes and showed them to the class. When she held it in the air, she began a long winded summary about it. 'This was made in Russia, it's made of silk and it was made by blah blah blah,' thought Vanessa.

It took so long for Ms. Darbus to show them 5 costumes and just as Ms. Darbus finished her last word, the lunch break bell rang. Lunch break time!
