AN: I made a correction there will be two weeks of dance class, check chapter 2, I fixed it.

Facts of the story: The group is 16 in their junior year, and it is late January.

Everyone in Ms. Darbus' homeroom and drama class, were in Dance class for 6th period.

"Yesterday, we learned the streches one must do before dancing." the teacher announced pacing in front of her class which were strewed randomly across the room.

"I have paired you up by your dancing experience. Montez and Bolton you both have 3 years. Evans, Sharpay and Baylor you have two class periods," the teacher said going through the list. She continue for another five minutes until she reached the end of the list, "Verde and Evans, Ryan, you both have 10 years, at my downtown studio I might add."

"You've gone to Desert Sunrise Dance Studio downtown, for ten years?" Grace heard a voice behind her as she pulled the final books out of her locker and into her bag.

"Yep." was all she said and turned to see a confused Ryan.

"I've never seen you there."

"I only go to a class now and then, I have private lessons."

"Private? That takes monthes to get appointment with the owner."

Grace laughed that off, "Ryan, is it that hard to figure out?"

"Do you really think someone has to schedule appointments with the own mother?" she said both sarcasticly and pointedly at the same time, walking towards the middle school.

"Doesn't everyone?" Ryan asked running after her.

Gabriella, Taylor, and Sharpay all walked together outside of the school with their respective basketball boyfriends.

"We study at my house today right?

"Yep, anyone see Gracelynn?"

"She probably is walking to the middle school right now. Anyway, has anyone seen my brother?"

"Probably to the first, and no to the second." Taylor said walking down the steps.

"Troy," Sharpay said "Do you have Grace's cell?"

"Uh, why would I have that?" he covered

"We know Troy, she told us," Taylor said.

"Okay, here is it," Troy said scared of Sharpay.

"Hurry, dial it," Gabi said impatiently.

"I am, hold on" Sharpay said dialing her phone.

Grace was half way to the school, when her cell phone rang,

"Hello?" she answered

"Hey Grace, this is Shar, um, would you like to study with Taylor, Gabi and I?"

"Sure, I guess, just tell my brother, k"

"I did, my address is 2343 Palm Avenue. Tootles."

Grace turned around to see the still following Ryan, "Why are you still following?"

"I was trying to ask you if you had seen Sharpay."

"You walked two blocks to figure that out," Grace said "Which way is Palm Avenue?"

"Uh, two block to the right." he answered

Fifteen minutes Grace finally found Sharpays house, and saw her car already there.

She knocked and waited for several minutes, then Ryan came up and opened the door.

"Second door on the left," he answered

"Thanks, bye." she said running up the stairs.

Grace knocked lightly on the door, and went in. The three girls jumped when she came in.

"I didn't hear you knock, sorry." Sharpay explained

"It's okay, Ryan let me in."

"He's home?" Shar asked

"Now he is, I would of been here earlier, but he was asking a question a minute on the way here. So, what's first, biology?" Gracelynn said sitting down next to the bed.

3 hours later they were done with their homework talking about random things.

"What you doing tonight?" Taylor asked Gracelynn

"TV, I guess, since all of my homework is done."

"You could come out with the whole group tonight, if you wanted." Sharpay said looking at a magazine.

"I wouldn't want to trample anyone's plans."

"You wouldn't trust us," Gabi said.

"Uh, let me call my mom to check."

Five minutes later...

"She said yes, I just have to be home by 10, just like Troy." Gracelynn said sitting down.

"Okay, clothes choosing time." Sharpay said happily.

"Do I want to know?" Grace asked Taylor

"No, but its fun, come on." Then they all went to Sharpays HUGE closet.

"Gabi, white skirt, Taylor, white shirt and orange skirt." Then she turned to Gracelynn who was in a black tanktop with dark jeans and black converses, "You need color, here turquoise skirt for you, what size shoe do you where?" Sharpay asked

"A nine."

Sharpay handed her a pair of black sandal wedges, and then Gracelynn put them on.

"Whoa, they make me taller, whoa, not used to this." Grace said wobbling.

"They look fine, by the way, how tall are you without them?"

"Just south of 5'7'' I guess."

"You make us seem short, with out them, but they are only two inches, so it isn't too bad." Taylor said.

Then, Taylor cell rang and after the phone called

Shar, Gabi and Grace all started singing "Chad and Taylor sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G."

"Oh grow up."

Then Shar and Gabriella each received phone calls, each earning their own song.

Then, the three turned towards Gracelynn.

"Ha, you got nothing on me." Gracelynn smirked.

"Oh, we will." Sharpay said darkly.

AN: Oh, Magic, Spitting, Neat, Let's have dessert now. BRING OUT THE HANNAH BANANA CREAM PIE! I have no idea where that came from. Anyway, tell me what you think. I'm choosing between a Ryan x OC or an OC x OC...
