The next day
"Just something for you." Sharpay handed Ms. Darbus a little box.
Sharpay returned to her seat as the rest of the class came in.
Troy and Gabriella exchanged glances.
Veronica and Ryan did the same.
"Well, I expect we all learned our homeroom manners yesterday, people, correct? If not, we have some dressing rooms that need painting." Ms. Darbus told them.
Troy and Gabriella giggled.
'Now, a few announcements. This morning during the free period will be your chance for the musicale auditions, both singles, and pairs." Ms. Darbus informed them.
Veronica and Ryan giggled.
Sharpay clapped with childlike excitement as she beamed at Ms. Darbus.
"I will be in the theater until noon for those of you bold enough to extend the wingspan of your creative spirit." She told them.
"What time is she due back on the mothership?" Chad joked with Troy.
Troy and Chad snickered at the joke.
"Now today, we are going to discuss the importance of Shakespeare..." She continued.

The cheerleaders did the same with Veronica. _______________________________________

"Yo! What's up, man?" Chad greeted him.
"What's up?" Troy asked.
"Hey, so, um, the whole team's hitting the gym during free period. What do you want to have us run?" Chad asked.
"Uh, dude, you know what, I can't make it. I gotta catch up on some homework." Troy lied.
"What? Hello, it's only the second day back. I'm not even behind on homework yet. And you know, I've been behind on homework since preschool." Chad joked.
"That's hilarious. I'll catch you later." Troy forced a chuckle.
"Homework? There's no way." Chad knew something was up.
He followed Troy to a classroom. _______________________________________

"So we are going to practice our routine during the free period right?" Lily asked Veronica.
"Uh...I can't...I have homework." She told them.
"Homework? Since when do you care about homework?" Lola asked.
"Since this year started," Veronica told her.
They followed her to class where they bumped into Chad and Troy.
Students started piling up around them.
"Hey, how's it going?" One student asked.
"Just hanging," Troy answered.
'Good to see you." Another student said.
"Good to see you too," Chad said.
"How's it going, man?" Another student shook his hand.
While a bunch of girls started to talk about their nails and hair. This gave both Troy and Veronica a chance to run.
Their friends search the room for Troy and Veronica, both took a different way out of the classroom and walked right past them.
They eventually followed the twins to a stairwell where they lose both of them completely.
They made their way across an outdoor area as their father spotted them but they managed to give Coach Bolton the slip. They walked through a garage and hid briefly behind a stripped chassis.
"Why are you running?" Veronica asked her brother.
"Same reason as you, the auditions," Troy told her.
"Wait, how did you know I was going to the auditions?" She asked him.
"I know you, sis.' He told her.
They got seen by a mechanic.
"Shor cut, " Veronica awkwardly smiled at him.
He checked his watch.
"We're late for class," Troy told him.
They walked into the auditorium through the backstage entrance wheeling a janitor's cart with a mop sticking up. _______________________________________ Sorry for any errors...
