Sharpay took one last look at herself in her mirror and gave her hair one last fluffing. Taking a liking in her appearance Sharpay struck a pose, and another, and another, and another. And as she went off into her imaginary fashion photo shoot Sharpay failed to notice the bathroom door open and three people walk in. Giving her reflection one last look she said, "Perfect", and gave herself a kiss goodbye and a wave. As she turned to leave she jumped when she noticed the three girls blocking the entrance, staring at her.

"That was one the weirdest things I have ever seen you do." said Taylor as she shook her head.

"Please. Don't be mad just because I'm so perfectly beautiful." scoffed Sharpay as she attempted to make her way past. When her passage was blocked she started to get annoyed. "Excuse me."

"Sharpay, we need to talk." said Gabriella.

Jason jogged along the track field, barely paying attention to the world around him. His mind was focused on Ryan and how the boy not only blew him off once, but twice today. While his thoughts were on the newly returned blond he didn't notice Troy and Zeke come up behind him.

"Hey, Jay." said Zeke.

Returning from his thoughts Jason looked at his friend and put on a smile. "Hey, dude."

"So that was an interesting lunch today, right?" asked Troy.

"Uh, yeah, I guess. I wouldn't really know." said Jason confused.

"And homeroom. That was definitely interesting, right?" asked Zeke.

"Again, I wouldn't really know." said Jason. "You guys, is there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Well . . ." began Troy

"Yeah?" asked Jason.

"Jason, we need to talk." said Zeke.

Ryan checked the piece of paper in his hand before scanning the bookcase. The book he was looking for just happened to be on the top shelf, which just happened to be a foot and half over Ryan's head. Ryan reached for the book with one arm while trying to balance the five books he already had in his other arm.

"Who do they think goes to this school? Yao Ming?" asked himself as he stood on the tips of his toes. "It figures school hands out the most assignments when you decide to take a six month break." said Ryan as his fingers brushed against the book. Ryan was able to get a slight grip on the bottom corner of the book and slowly begin to edge it towards him. When the book was close to the edge he gave one final pull to bring it down. Sadly, he didn't expect it fall right on his head, causing his grip on his other books to loosen and fall to the ground. The resulting noise earned him a shushing from the librarian.

"Sorry." said Ryan with a smile as he bent down to pick up the books. When the librarian disappeared he muttered under his breath, "Bitch."

As he reached for one of his books on the floor another hand landed on it, causing Ryan to jump in fear that the librarian had happened to catch what he said. When he looked up to see the owner of the hand it was Chad's face that greeted him with a smile. "Oh. It's just you." said Ryan nonchalantly as he gathered up the rest of his books and stood up.

"Thanks. You know just how to make a guy feel special." said Chad sarcastically as he handed Ryan his book.

"I'm sorry. Let me try that again." said Ryan as he cleared his throat. "Oh, Chad, you've finally found me after all this time, my dearest friend. I've counted the seconds since lunch when I would see you warm smile shining upon my face again. If you hadn't found me here I probably would have died from your absence from my life."

"Um, I think I prefer the first one." said Chad with a laugh.

"Really? I kind of liked it." said Ryan also laughing. "I think I'll greet you like that every day now."

"Shhhh!" said the librarian as she passed by.

"Sorry." said the two boys as they tried to suppress their laughter from being caught.

"You're right. She is kind of a bitch." said Chad when she was gone.

"Oh," said Ryan surprised, "You heard that?"

"Yeah." said Chad. Ryan instantly turned around and headed out of the aisle. "Hey, wait." said Chad hurrying after him.

"What?" said Ryan still walking.

"It's kind of rude to just walk away when someone is talking to you." said Chad.

"I thought the conversation was over." said Ryan.

"So, you can't even say bye?" asked Chad. "Or at least signal the other person that you're going to walk away?"

"That sounds like work." whined Ryan.

"Rich people." said Chad with a sigh.

"Poor people." mimicked Ryan.

"Middle class." Chad defended.

"Same thing." said Ryan scoffed. "So was there anything else . . ."

Ryan trailed off when he saw Martha sitting at the table he had left his bag at. When she spotted the two walking back she waved at them.

"What's going on?" asked Ryan.

"What?" asked Chad.

"You and Martha? Is this some kind of mini intervention?" asked Ryan getting annoyed.

"No." said Chad as they reached the table.

"Hey, Ryan." said Martha.

"Ok, we need to talk." said Ryan.

"Hey! You totally stole my line!" shouted Chad.
