Troy and his mother walked with Mr. Matsui down the hall. Lilia changed her look for that day, just for Troy's sake.
"I've reviewed your transcripts, Mr. Tucker. I'm sure you will fit in quite nicely," Mr. Matsui said smiling. Troy turned to his mom as she nodded her head for him to go. He walked up the stairs to the familiar hallway. He looked at his schedule and saw that he had Ms. Darbus for homeroom. He walked to the familiar classroom, handed Ms. Darbus his transcript and sat down. He looked around and saw where his friends used to sit. Minutes later he saw an African-American girl and a boy, with crazy hair, walk in. Right after them two blonde twins walked in. Then two other guys, one African-American and a boy with black hair. Next came a petite girl no longer wearing glasses. Last but not least, a beautiful petite brown haired girl walked through. Gabriella Troy thought.
The gang sat down and noticed him.
"So where are you from?" Chad asked. Troy, also known as Thomas, wanted to have a little fun. Troy shrugged.
"Okay, what's your name?" Chad asked again. Troy shrugged, again. Just then the bell rang.
"Alright, settle down class. This year we will have someone new. Thomas Tucker is joining us from California," Ms. Darbus said pointing to Troy. Everyone looked at him. Troy smirked. Everyone looked at him curiously. Just then the bell rang. Everyone got up and left. Troy walked down the hallway toward science, which he had with Sharpay, Kelsi, Ryan, Chad, Zeke, and Jason. Troy walked in to find the gang talking, but stopped when he entered. Troy took a seat behind Chad. Just then class started.

During Free Period Troy decided to go to basketball tryouts. He saw the team and five other boys in there.
"Alright, we are going to need three boys for the team, so lets begin," Coach Peterson said. First up was Adam Cleveland. He was good on his lay-ups, but missed everything else completely. Next was Steven Morgotti. He did everything right.
"Thomas Tucker," Coach Peterson announced. Troy took a ball off of the rack and started to do drills, lay-ups and everything else. Next was his one on one. He had to get the ball in while the person was trying to block it. Apparently it was Chad. They started in their position and when the whistle blew, Troy's mind started saying, more like singing, directions.
Coach said to fake rightAnd break left
Troy faked right and broke left.
Watch out for the pick
And keep an eye on defense
Gotta run the give and go
And take the ball to the hole
But don't be afraid
Troy easily scored. He smirked at the teammates and walked out. He decided to head to the theater. When he entered he saw Kelsi, Ryan, Sharpay, Gabriella, and another guy. Instantly he became jealous. He saw Ryan and Sharpay sing.
"Gabriella and Bradley," Ms. Darbus called. Gabriella and Bradley walked onto stage. They sang Breaking Free. Troy's stomach sank and it felt like his heart broke into a million pieces. Suddenly Troy got an idea. Next up were the single auditions. Troy walked down the row toward the stage. When the last person sang, Troy went up to Ms. Darbus.
"I'd like to audition Ms. Darbus," Troy said.
"Very well. Tell Kelsi the piece and she will play it for you," Ms. Darbus said.
Troy turned his head around and saw Sharpay, Ryan, Gabriella, and that Bradley dude were nowhere to be seen. Troy told Kelsi the song and she began to play. Troy began to sing What's Left of Me by Nick Lachey.
Watch my life,
Pass me by,
In the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes
Yeah...
Chorus
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be:
But you can have what's left of me
I've been dying inside,
Little by little,
No where to go,
But going out of my mind
In endless circles,
Running from my self until,
You gave me a reason for standing still
Chorus
It's falling faster,
Barely breathing,
Give me something,
To believe in
Tell me: It's not all in my head
Take what's left
Of this man
Make me whole
Once again
Chorus
I've been dying inside you see
I'm going out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
Just running in circles in my mind
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
When he finished Ms. Darbus clapped wildly. Kelsi clapped a little bit.
"Wow. I am going to move you to the callbacks and replace Bradley with you. Congratulations," Ms. Darbus said.

"Sorry Gabriella," Kelsi said sitting down.
"For what?" Gabriella asked confused.
"Ms. Darbus replaced Bradley. Thomas Tucker is going to be singing with you for callbacks," Kelsi said.
"What!" Gabriella said.
"Man. He can play and sing," Jason said.
"Almost like…Troy," Zeke said.
"Yeah, but he barely talks and thinks he's Mister Hot Shot," Chad scoffed.
"Chad…" Taylor warned.
"No, that can't be Troy," Gabriella stated.
"Well, who do you think it is?" Zeke asked.
"I don't know. Oh yes, maybe Thomas Tucker like he says," Gabriella said.
"Oh, come on Gabriella," Zeke said.
"He isn't Troy! Troy moved! He's far away from here!" Gabriella exclaimed. With that she dumped her tray and walked to 'the secret spot'. When she got there, she sat on the bench. She sighed.

Troy walked to his locker. Gabriella's was right next to his. He saw Gabriella walk towards her locker and he looked back to his. When Gabriella got her locker open, he turned to her.
"Hi," he said smirking.
"Hi," she said giving him a small smile. He tried acting like a cool guy, hoping the act worked.
"I'm Thomas," Troy said.
"Gabriella," Gabriella said.
"So, you're my partner," Troy said closing his locker.
"Yeah…," Gabriella trailed off. She shut her locker and turned to Troy.
"Thomas…I should get going. See you later," Gabriella said.
"Yeah, bye!" Troy said. When Gabby was out of sight Troy groaned.
Okay, I don't know how great that was, but it was only the second chapter. Things are about to begin. Hopefully next chap soon! Review!
