Two Weeks Later...January 7th, 2008.

It was a new year at East High, everyone had sorrowfully come back to school after Christmas vacation. Taylor had visited her aunt's, Chad had finally shut up, and Sharpay had stopped yelling. However, one thing remained the same. The Gabriella and Landon situtation, as Troy called it. Chad, Taylor, Ryan and Julia were still lost in the whole sceme of things, and decided to stay out of it.

"I want more vacation," Sharpay said grumpily, clearing not having her ice blended that morning.

"We all do," Julia said taking Sharpay by the shoulders, "However, you don't want your rep ruined by drooling in the hallway half asleep."

"True," Sharpay said staying straight.

Then the group of friends walked to homeroom. Ms. Darbus ranted about the evils of cells phones and their meance for society and the well being of humans alike the entire homeroom period.

After the bell rang, Julia and Taylor were on their way to Calculus II when Julia spoke up.

"Is that ALL she talks about, I could probably resight that in class right now," Julia said throwing her hands up.

"Wow, it took me 6 months to remember the thing, you memorized it in 3 months. Not bad. Not bad." Taylor joked.

"Hi, Julia?" asked someone behind her.

"Yeah, 'tis me," Julia spinning around, which caused Taylor to also spin around.

"Can I speak...to you. Alone, please," the guy asked nervously.

Taylor, being as smart as she was, got the message and walked off, "See you in class."

Julia turned back to the nervous teen, "I'm Brady Lewis, captain of the Lacrosse team here."

"There's Lacrosse team here?"

Brady laughed, "Yeah, everything is overshadowed by the basketball team."

"I see, so how can I help you?"

"I know, you said no last October, but I was wondering if you would like to go to a movie this Saturday."

"Sure."

"I mean, I understa... Did you say yes?"

Julia nodded, "7 o'clock?"

Brady nodded, "Sounds good."

"I gotta run to class, see you Saturday."

Meanwhile...

Ryan closed his locker after getting his math book out and started down the hallway. While checking over his vacation stack of homework the teacher had assigned, he bumped into something or someone sending both of them to the ground.

"I'm so sorry," the girl said started picking up her books.

Ryan saw that he knocked out a huge amount of papers out of her hand and started cleaning up the papers. After several minutes of ignorant people walking by, they finally got all of the papers cleaned up.

"Stacy Jones," the girl offered her hand.

"Ryan Evans," Ryan said helping her up off the floor

"I didn't reconginze you."

"Most people wouldn't. It's a new years resolution. My sister freaked."

Stacy laughed.

"Would you like to sit with me at lunch," Ryan said going out of a very far limb.

Stacy clearly somewhere else broke from her trance, "Oh, sure, I gotta go Calculus. Bye."

Ryan looked down where she had run off to, "See ya."

he thought and literally ran down the hallway in the other direction.

During Calculus 1

"Now class remember if sin B is greater than 1, then no triangle satisfies the given conditions. However, if sin B is equal to one, there is one triangle that satisfies the given conditions and B equals 90 degrees," Ms. Cristin explained to her students once again.

Sharpay was daydreaming, yet again in math class

"Ms. Evans! Ms. Evans! Ms. Evans!"

The late one woke up Sharpay who smiled sweetly at the teacher.

"Nice to have you with us, Ms. Evans. What was I talking about?"

Sharpay took a deep breath, then saw something on the board, "Number of Trigangles the Satify the Ambiguous Cases, Ms. Cristin."

"That's correct, now everyone read pages 346-354 and do 1 through 12, 23-28 and number 55-60, due on Wednesday. If you have any questions on the homework assignment, ask tomorrow during class lab."

The teacher announced before everyone left to their next class as the bell rang.

After school

Julia, Taylor, Chad, Sharpay, and Ryan were all walking down the side hallway towards parking lot B. Taylor was talking to Chad and Ryan about the upcoming decathon, and how East High was the defe

nding champions at that. Sharpay was texting on her cell and Julia was reading the music for the upcoming musicale auditions.

"Where's Gabs?" Julia asked out of the blue.

"With Landon, who else?" Sharpay snapped not taking her eyes from her cell.

"Jealous much?" her brother said.

"Shut up Ryan!" Sharpay yelled in the nearly empty hallway, actually taking her eyes from her sidekick.

The five teens went through the double fire proof doors leading to the outside and down the path to the lower parking lot. They saw Gabriella and Landon in the distance.

When they reached the two Julia spoke up, "So, Gabs, where's your boyfriend?"

"Uh," Gabriella said noticing something. "Probably shooting hoops or something."

"It's the teams day off, only 25 push-up and 3 laps on the track today," Chad said smartly. "It's too not over extend ourselves, and not die out in the city championships like two years ago."

"Right," Sharpay said completely not caring. "Let's get Troy and go."

Taylor and Julia looked at Gabriella, then at each other. It was offical. Something needed to happen, and happen fast.

Here's a new chapter, please read and review! I'm working on a AU story of HSM, with these characters. I'm going to work on it this summer and try to get it up soon.
