Start of Something New
Yes I shouldn't be doing ANOTHER WIP however this had been hopping in my head since I became blocked on flipped...I do not own GH or High School Musical...All Lyrics used in this fic are from HSM...
The next day came as Maxie spotted Cooper waiting for her on the steps.
"I'm glad you decided to show," Cooper said.
"And why wouldn't I," Maxie asked.
"Let's face it," Cooper said, "you and me...well...we don't run in the same circles."
Maxie knew what he meant. Under normal circumstances the cheerleader wouldn't have been caught dead with the chem. Club president regardless of how cute she thought he was.
'So anyway," Maxie began, "what's the plan."
"Ok," Cooper said handing Maxie what looked like a ring box.
She rolled her eyes.
"Open it," Cooper whispered.
Maxie did and saw something that looked technical.
"Thank god," Maxie said relieved.
"It's a bug," Cooper began to explain, "What you need to do is be with Lulu during free period...I'll have Damian with me...I figure girls talk right."
Maxie nodded.
"So you need to get Lulu to say something," Cooper said, "something that will piss Damian off and convince him to do the scholastic decathlon over the play."
Maxie nodded and smiled at him.
"You know Coop," Maxie said grinning, "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship between us."
"Really," cooper said.
"Probably not but it sounded good," Maxie said heading off to her locker before anyone spotted her and Cooper talking.

By the time free period rolled around Maxie and cooper were eager to get their plan into action.
"Spence," Maxie said, "we need to talk."
Lulu looked up to see the squad surrounding her in the gym.
"What is this," Lulu asked, "an intervention?"
"Yes," Maxie said, "I mean what's up with you lately...your head isn't in the game lately."
"Yes it is," Lulu said.
"No," Maxie said it's not, "because if it was you wouldn't be doing that musical thing."

Cooper meanwhile had Damian in the computer lab.
"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider my offer," Cooper said, "I mean the team could really use the Jackal."
He smiled at being called the Jackal but his mind had been made up.
"I'm trying to shed my old image," Damian said, "and this musical...the blonde one...I kind of feel better about myself...more confident even."
Cooper for a moment had second thoughts but quickly shook them off.
"But how much do you know about Lulu Spencer," Cooper said, "the preppy princess of Port Charles High."
"Nice alliteration," Damian said.
"Thanks," Cooper replied before getting back on track, "that's not the point...listen."
Cooper then clicked a switch and soon audio of the girls' conversation could be heard.
-
"Don't tell me you're actually falling for Damian," Maxie was saying.
"God no," Lulu said, "I can't believe you think I'd even consider dating that cyber geek Spinelli."
-
Damian was crushed. He thought the Blonde One was his friend, he was wrong.
"The Jackal takes back what he said," Damian said, "I'll be honored to join your team."
Cooper smiled.
-
"So," Maxie said, "I take it your going to get serious now...I mean regionals are exactly one week away."
Lulu nodded and lead her team to the floor.

Damian entered the empty hallway after he received a major reality check.
Its funny when you find yourself
looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
is to be over there
why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
that I don't really care
He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. The Blonde one didn't like him; she thought he was just a cyber geek... all he'd ever be.
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
The period soon ended as students began to file into the halls. Damian took a deep breath. He needed to shrug off his depression, at least till the final bell rang. Luckily it was Friday; he had the whole weekend to wallow in self pity.
"Hey Damian," Lulu suddenly said stopping by the boys locker.
"Listen," Damian said, "if this is about the callbacks I understand...you have your team Blonde One and the Jackal agreed to be on the Scholastic Decathlon team so now I've got a team of my own."
"Damian," Lulu said, "I don't know what you're getting at."
"That I don't want to do the callbacks either," Damian said, "goodbye Lulu, have a nice life."
Damian closed his locker and walked away leaving Lulu standing there alone and confused.
