He gave her a soft smile and said, "Well, hope you like East High." She grinned and went up the stairs on her way to her classroom. The teacher introduced her to others in the class and continued the lesson.
After the lesson was over, a girl with waist-length blonde hair walked up to her. "Hi, I'm Alyson." She looked pretty and fair. "Hi Alyson." Vanessa greeted.
"Where did you come from?" Alyson enquired.
"San Jose."
"So, do you like East High?"
"Ummm….So far, yeah!" It was true. Vanessa really did like East High. Even though she hadn't interacted with anybody other than the Principal, Zac and now, Alyson, she felt East High was great.
"That's great! Well, I'd better run to my other class. It was great talking to you!" Alyson waved. "Alyson, hold on a second. Here in my time table, it says that there's a free period. We've never had that before. What do we do then?" Vanessa asked.
She laughed. "Anything you want to. Hey, you want me to show you around the school during the free period?"
"That would be perfect." Vanessa replied.
"My pleasure. See you then!" And she went off.
The free period was during their fifth period, right before lunch. She had a pretty tough time finding where the rest of the classes were, but managed well. When the bell for the fifth period rang, she went out of her class and went down back to first floor, where she had first entered East High.
She didn't know where to meet Alyson, so she waited for her by sitting on one of the benches fixed against the wall. After a few minutes, she saw Alyson cueing her to come to the centre of the hall. She went there, "Hi, sorry I was late. I couldn't find where you were!" Alyson said. "So where do you want to go first?"
"Anywhere!" Vanessa replied.
Alyson took her to the theatre, cafeteria, library and showed her where every class was. Later, she took her to the school ground where they found some of the boys playing basketball.
"Those guys are the East High Wildcat Basketball players. They won us many championships and I think they are practicing for another one now."
"Basketball?" Vanessa was a trained basketball player from her previous schools. She looked at the basketball players from a sportsperson's eyes and saw that they were playing pretty well.
"See the blonde one? That's Zac Efron. The captain and best player on the team and the most popular guy at school." Alyson pointed at one of the players.
Since Vanessa had already met him before, it was easy for her to recognize him from a distance. When Alyson pulled her to show her other places, Vanessa didn't move. She was watching the guys play basketball. "I think I found out what their strategy is. They might actually pull it off when they go to their championship." Vanessa said.
"What are you talking about? Wait…do you play basketball?"
This time, Vanessa turned. "Yeah, I've been training since I was eight years old."
"Wow!" Alyson said, impressed. "Hey, you want to go over there and talk to them?"
"You know those guys?"
"Not all of them. But I do know Zac and a few others. Shall we?"
Vanessa nodded, it was pretty exciting now.
