Yeah, I know I havn't updated in a while you can put the flame thrower away. No- seriously, those things are dangerous!

Vanesa eyed Zach as he moved back to his locker from amongst a large crowd. He looked like he was in the middle of an intense conversation with his latest girlfriend Rebecca Chalmers. Zach had dumped Head Cheerleader Chelsea that morning and Ashlee had spread rumours that the girl was suicidal. It was now official that Troy Bolton was obsolete with East High popular clique. And now it was Monica's turn to hit the pedestal.

Leaving Zach where he was, Vanesa made her way over to the I.T block were her gang usually met. Going back to her usual happy-go-lucky manner, she greeted the others as she saw them. "Ashlee!" She squealed and hugged her best friend. Over her shoulder she said to Monica, "Gawd Monica are you gaining weight?" Monica flushed and turned away bashfully. Vanesa noticed Ashlee freeze as she anticipated a fight warily. But Vanesa just laughed gaily and sat next to Luc. "Wow Luc that is soo cute!" Luc glanced up unwillingly from the pad where he was designing a dress. He raised an eyebrow silently. "You have to get that made for me," Vanesa trilled flashing him an encouraging smile.

"Actually it's for Monica," Luc replied in a dead voice. Vanesa's nose flared and her tensed angrily. She threw and outraged look at Ashlee. The platinum blonde just shrugged sympathetically. Vanesa took a deep breath to calm herself, Luc'd come round eventually. So caught up was she in steadying her breathing that she missed Monica and Luc share a sweet look and Ashlee rolling her eyes at her behind her back.

"Let's forget about Cory. We should just start the meeting," Vanesa insisted.

Ashlee agreed immediately, "Yeah, it's not like we need him for the next part."

Monica just shrugged and Luc looked up expectantly, waiting for her to finish talking.

"Let's go over it one last time..."

"So what did you get?" Monica asked Taylor McKessie.

Taylor hadn't even looked at her paper, "What I always get." Monica tried to keep the smirk off her face but failed terribly as she peeked over Taylor's shoulder.

"Uh-Taylor," Taylor looked at her with an eyebrow raised scathingly. "Tay- You got a B!" Monica raised her voice so the whole gifted and talented science class heard.

Silence reigned.

Gabriella Montez grabbed at Taylor's paper and flipped through it. How did you get it wrong? You taught me the infection unit and I got an A+."

Taylor snatched the paper back harshly and flicked through each of the questions sharply. Each red cross burned violently in her mind. She noticed her answer to a question about how to prevent an epidemic of a potentially fatal virus. Instead of her rapid calculations of death counts, costs of vaccines and those most likely to contract the disease, the page was blank and in her handwriting 

was the sentence, "Government's shouldn't develop biological warfare they can't control!" Since when was Taylor McKessie a conspiracy theorist?

She must have spaced, that was the only explanation. It wasn't going to happen again.
