After school, Cloe met Rachael by their lockers. "Hey, Angel." Rachael called as Cloe walked over to her. "Hey, Squeaks." Cloe sighed heavily. "What's up?" Rachael questioned a bit concerned. "We really do need to find a club." Cloe answered. "What? No." Rachael moaned, "We can't."
"Sharpay wants us to join a clique, right?" Cloe asked. "Right, but if we cave, she wins." Rachael pleaded. "Listen, do you do anything that relates to the theatre?" Cloe implied. "I dance." Rachael started to catch. "And I sing and act." Cloe continued. "And what are you suggesting?" Rachael smiled knowingly. "Here. I'll show you." Cloe told her. She grabbed Rachael's arm and led her down the hallway to club bulletin board. She stood in front of the drama club sign up sheet.
"See!" Cloe exclaimed. "I see it, but I don't believe it." Rachael raised an eyebrow with amusement. "Exactly and neither will Sharpay." Cloe stated proudly, "When we sign up, we'll be in Sharpay's clique, which will drive nuts." "That way, we'll be in a clique and still get Sharpay to lose." Rachael screamed excitedly.
"Plus, Darbis is the president and Sharpay and Ryan are co-presidents." Cloe added. "How's that good?" Rachael asked. "Ryan wanted us in a clique and he'll make sure Sharpay can't throw us out." Cloe answered. "Genius." Rachael compliment, "Let's sign up." She pulled out a pen and the two wrote their names on the drama club sheet. "Okay then, we'll show up tomorrow and Sharpay will flip." Cloe stated excitedly.
After they had finished getting books from their lockers, they walked outside onto campus. "Oh, give me your number so we can keep in touch out of school." Cloe realized. "Sure, and I'll need yours, too." Rachael said. They swapped phones and added their cell phone and home phone numbers. "Here you go." Cloe said returning Rachael's phone. "Thanks, Angel." Rachael said retuning Cloe's phone. "No problem, Squeaks." Cloe responded. The two put their phones in their pockets and sat at a table.
"Well, I think we've accomplished a lot." Rachael stated and smiled. "Maybe, but we'll have to see what happens tomorrow." Cloe reminded her. "That's true." Rachael agreed. "Hey girls." Ryan said as he walked over to them and sat down next to Cloe. "Drama Boy." Cloe and Rachael acknowledged. "So, you still have your sense of humor." He said again, "Have you thought about joining a club?" He raised an eyebrow at them expectantly. "Yes, yes we have." Cloe stated. "And?" Ryan urged then to continue.
"And…we joined one." Rachael stated calmly. "That's great!" Ryan praised, "Which one?" Cloe and Rachael looked at each other attempting not to laugh. Rachael couldn't help it. She burst out laughing. That started Cloe and, before they knew it, they were laughing hysterically.
"What?" Ryan questioned them with a smile. "Oh, nothing." Rachael giggled. "You'll find out tomorrow." Cloe laughed. "All right. What did you two do?" Ryan looked at them accusingly, "Never mind. If I did ask, then you'd probably tell me and why would I want that?" "You'll like it a lot, but Sharpay won't." Cloe said. "Much." Rachael added.
"We'll see about that." Ryan told them. "What's that supposed to mean?" Rachael asked. "It means, whatever you did, Sharpay is going to fix it. So, you might want to watch your backs." Ryan admitted, "But not from me. It's more from my sister." "Well, then. We'll just have to be careful." Cloe stated.
"Is that a promise?" Ryan asked standing up. "We make no promises." Rachael told him. "You may take that as a promise." Cloe smiled at him. "Hilarious." he said and walked away. The girls just looked at each other. Rachael's mom drove up to the sidewalk. "My mom's here." Rachael realized, "Want a ride?" "Sure." Cloe agreed.
They got up and walked over to the little red car. Rachael's mom rolled down the window. "Hey girls." She said to us with a smile. "Hey mom." Rachael greeted, "This is Cloe." "Hey, Cloe." Rachael's mom said to her, "I'm Mrs. Thomas." "Hi." Cloe said. "Mom," Rachael began, "can we give Cloe a ride home?" "Sure." Mrs. Thomas agreed, "That would be okay. Where do you live Cloe?" "Oh, not too far away. It's down the street, take a left, then a right, and two blocks down." Cloe told her. "No problem." She said, "Get in girls."
They both got in the back. "Thanks." Cloe told her. You're welcome." She responded. "So," Cloe said turning to Rachael, "what do you think Sharpay's face is going to look like tomorrow when we walk into the auditorium for drama club?" "I can imagine it now." Rachael answered.
"You girls joined drama club?" Mrs. Thomas asked, driving down the street. "Yeah." Rachael answered. "That's nice." she praised them, "I'm proud that you girls found a club together." "It's tomorrow after school." Rachael added. "All right. I'll pick you up after that tomorrow." Mrs. Thomas answered. "Oh, can Rachael stay at my house for a while today?" Cloe asked her. "Please, mom!" Rachael begged. "I guess." she answered.
"Yes!" they girls cheered and high fired. "Can Cloe stay at ours tomorrow?" Rachael asked. "That would be great." Mrs. Thomas responded cheerfully. "Thanks." Cloe told her. They turned the corner and stopped in front of Cloe's pink house. "Wow." Rachael said, "Nice colors. Ours is blue." "You girls have fun." Mrs. Thomas called as the girls got out of the car, "Call me when you want to come home, Rachael." "All right." Rachael responded.
"Lets go." Cloe said as they walked up the path to the house. When they reached the door, Cloe opened the door. The girls turned around and waved to Mrs. Thomas who waved back and drove away. The girls walked inside and closed the door behind them.
