Vanessa ran out of the toilet and as she came closer to Ms. Darbus' class, she walked casually and drew attention to herself by banging items on the side of the locker. Ms. Darbus peered through the window and made her eyes look like slits in addition to putting her pair of glasses at the tip of her nose.

"EXCUSE ME CLASS!" Ms. Darbus bellowed. Vanessa had her eyes turned towards the other classroom, so it didn't look like she was just standing there watching their lesson. She pretended to talk to somebody, then yell at the 'pretend person' as Ms. Darbus marched out of the classroom. Vanessa had a great excuse…

"Excuse me Vanessa, please explain to me what on earth is – (RING RING Ms. Darbus' mobile phone) Oh, please excuse me," Ms. Darbus began.

"No worries," Vanessa said. "Saved," she whispered. Vanessa continued to walk along the corridor and Ms. Darbus returned to her classroom to answer her phone.

"Hello, East High, Ms. Darbus speaking," Ms. Darbus greeted.

"Oh hi, this is Mrs. Meldrew speaking, representative of the Student Council. I'd like to ask you to get some students for me," Mrs. Meldrew greeted.

"Oh, hello Mandy. You know, you could call via the school system, seeing as we are in one school. My class number is 124. Please call me through there next time, anyway, who would you like and where are you?" Ms. Darbus advised.

"Alright Ms. Darbus. I'm not at the school at the moment, but I'm coming, just finding a car park. Can I have Troy Bolton, Taylor McKessie, Chad Danforth, Zeke and Kelsi Neilson in room 153 in the next five minutes?" Mrs. Meldrew requested.

"Yes, certainly Mandy. I'll send them over," Ms. Darbus answered.

"Thanks, bye Ms. Darbus," Mrs. Meldrew concluded.

'Council coming. Stay in toilet and stay silent,' Vanessa quickly texted.

--FIVE MINUTES LATER--

"Troy, Taylor, Chad, Zeke and Kelsi are to be in room 153 immediately," Ms. Darbus announced.

"Yes Ms. Darbus," Troy whined gloomily.

"Where is that Kelsi?" Chad asked with no concern.

"KELSI!" Ms. Darbus yelled.

"Oh, excuse me Ms. Darbus," Sharpay screamed out and raised her hand.

"Yes… Sharpay," Ms. Darbus gave Sharpay the all ok to speak.

"Kelsi and that Vanessa girl have gone for Corridor Duty… remember?" Sharpay reminded.

"Very well done Sharpay, that's fantastic, everybody should look up to Sharpay Evans as a role-model," Ms. Darbus praised.

"HOORAY!" Zeke suddenly enthusiastically cheered.

"I can see that someone doesn't need to go to Student Council," Troy said boringly.

"Zeke, you stay behind… you'll cause too much disturbance if you attend," Ms. Darbus agreed.

"HOORAY!" Zeke cheered again.

Sighs grew from the whole class.

"This is going to be a long day…" Ryan remarked.

"Shush!" Sharpay snapped and Ryan frowned.

"Go along now Chad and Troy, and I'll go and look for Kelsi, where is that Vanessa?" Ms. Darbus ushered.

'What is happening?' Kelsi texted to Vanessa.

'Keep clear and silent moving… Ms. Darbus is looking for you via me… I've got an act,' Vanessa replied.

'Alright. I'm in closet now. Corridor clear?' Kelsi sent.

'Yes,' Vanessa advised.

--AT STUDENT COUNCIL--

Chad and Troy had just walked through the doors of room 153 and met Taylor and Mrs. Meldrew inside.

"Hello and welcome to Student Council, I'll run the roll," Mrs. Meldrew welcomed. "Chad," Mrs. Meldrew called.

"Here!" Chad fake smiled as he pretended he was really interested.

"Now that's a problem, sit over there Chad," Mrs. Meldrew directed whilst pointing to a chair near the corner of the room. "Have a moment to think about what you're going to say next," she disciplined like he was a small child. "Taylor," Mrs. Meldrew called.

"Here," Taylor announced in her normal voice.

"Troy," Mrs. Meldrew called.

"Present," Troy tried a new way to say that he was here.

"Zeke," Mrs. Meldrew called.

(SILENCE)

"Not here," Mrs. Meldrew remarked to herself.

"Kelsi," Mrs. Meldrew called.

(SILENCE)

"Absent," Mrs. Meldrew said as she crossed a box.

Mrs. Meldrew pointed to several places in the rooms, which happened to be corners with chairs and asked Taylor, Chad and Troy to sit down and think about why they were here. There was a calm silence building in the room and Mrs. Meldrew was just about to sit down in serenity to sip some tea when a loud noise shook the room. "MELDREW!" Coach Bolton bellowed while shoving the door open. It was now lunch break and Coach Bolton needed Troy and Chad for training.

No one knew that it was Lunch Break because room 153 had their speaker turned off to encourage silence and serenity.

"Hello," Mrs. Meldrew greeted with a shocked face. "Please students, come back to your serenity," she encouraged.

"MELDREW! WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING WITH TROY BOLTON AND CHAD DANFORTH?!" Coach Bolton roared.

"They were due for Student Council, and clearly the Principal has sent them to come," Mrs. Meldrew solved in a whisper.

"WHY ARE THEY WASTING THEIR TIME SITTING IN CORNERS DOING NOTHING WHEN THEY COULD BE BUSY TRAINING WITH THE REST OF THE BASKETBALL TEAM RIGHT NOW FOR OUR BIG EVENT, THE FINALS?!" Coach Bolton shouted.

"It's called a train of thought Mr. Bolton," Mrs. Meldrew corrected.

"TROY BOLTON AND CHAD DANFORTH, OUT! NOW!" Coach Bolton yelled.

Troy and Chad took no time to loose and ran out of room 153 without saying a word.

Mrs. Meldrew let out a sigh. "Taylor, you stay there," Mrs. Meldrew instructed and she went.
