Taylor silently grimaced to herself as Ms. Darbus continued with her words of art. She turned her head towards Troy when she heard his voice. "As long as she can hold her breath." She whispered back quickly, so that Ms. Darbus wouldn't hear her, or see her doing it. Being a senior, which means years of experience, certainly has it's perk.
She tried her best to pay attention when Ms. Darbus started introducing to the new students. It wasn't like anyone wouldn't know that she's the infamous Ms. Darbus in the school. Taylor plastered a smile on her face and nodded her head a little when Ms. Darbus mentioned her name and the Academic Decathlon, just to let the new students know who Ms. Darbus was pointing to.
My cellphone is certainly switched off and in safe hand. She thought to herself, after Ms. Darbus reminded them that once again that no cellphones are to be allowed. She hoped those new students know the rules here.

Lexy turned to face Taylor. She smiled at her and said hi.
"hi, I'm Lexy" Lexy wondered if she could join the decathlon. she did have a photographic memory, so maybe should would help the team win this year.
"Excuse me Taylor?, I'm interested in the decathlon." She waited for Taylor to answer. This could be double fun doing the musical and the decathlon. She would make lots of friends that way. She waited for Taylor to reply!

Eleanor smiled at all the students. Oh how they do learn quickly with the cell phone rule! She began to make a few more announcements, and she glanced over at Sharpay, noticing a small box in her hand. She smirked slightly, as she continued to talk. Sharpay and Ryan always seemed to bring her something for the beginning of the year, or when the year ends. She just always liked to assume it was because she gave them such inspiration as artists that it was a small way to say thank you. It was either that, or they wanted to keep getting leads in the musicals. Eleanor didn't mind either way. She liked the Evans twins, and she had some good ideas of what show to do to star her two leads in.
Eleanor suddenly heard a suggestion from one of the new girls. She glanced over at Lexy and gave her a look.
"Seussical the Musical? We did that show a few years back. I do not repeat shows when there are so many wonderful ones out there. Thank you for the suggestion though. And Miss Peterson, I have warned you already about talking while I am talking. Talking again will result in detention." Eleanor was trying to be nice. She didn't want to scare off all the new ones this year. Maybe one of them might have some promising talent! But she had to lay down the rules.
She started to finish up the announcements when she yet again heard Lexy talking. "MISS PETERSON! Have I not warned you twice already about talking in my classroom? That is completely unacceptable! I will see you today in the theater after school for detention." Darbus stopped, and glared slightly at the new girl. She could tell this one was going to be trouble.
"Anyone else feel like joining Miss Peterson in detention?" Eleanor said, looking around. She knew no one else would be talking for the rest of the homeroom period, and if they did.....well, detention was definitely Eleanor's favorite part of her day.

Zeke looked up at Ms. Darbus and sighed thankfully. The Lexy girl was going to beat Zeke this year in the yearbook for "Most Likely to get Dentition from Mrs.Darbus" instead of Zeke in the Dunce hat it would be Lexy. He quietly laughed in his head. He didn’t have his cell phone in this class. He had his I-pod in his back pocket and he wouldn’t say anything unless Mrs.Darbus told him to. Maybe for once he wasn’t going to get dentition, or the Dunce hat.
He then just put his hand on his chin and looked up front and waited for something interesting to happen.

Lexy looked back at Ms. Darbus in shocked. She had never had detention before in her life. She wanted to argue back but knew it would be of no use. She stammered "but-but-I-I"
She looked back at Zeke and saw a weird look on his face. She gave him pleading eyes and looked back at Ms. Darbus. She wasn't going to say another word for the whole year in this class unless Ms. Darbus talked to her. this was certainly gonna be a long year, Lexy thought. She went back to writing her notes for the class. She was so embarrassed. She looked down and worked on her homework. "I hope this class ends soon" said Lexy.

Alex felt envious of Lexy already people were talking to her, why ahd she made such an idiot of herself earlier she knew she was going to be enemy number one this year.
Trying hard not to cry Alex pulled out her student planner and looked where she had to go next, but she could already feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Not even the news of a drama production could cheer her up, she'd never get it.

Lexy looked at Alex. Uh oh, she was crying. Lexy wrote a note and asked.
"What's wrong?"
She put Alex's name on it and gave it to her. She didn't have anything to lose since she had detention already.
This was not Lexy's day. She knew that Alex probably felt the same as she did. She waited for Ms. Darbus to yell at her and for Alex to reply at the same time.

Alex looked at the note from Lexy.
"Nothing" she wrote back "I just humiliated myself earlier by defending marco and now no-one is talking to me, you fall over and everyone else becomes your friend."

Lexy read the note that she got back. She read it, then looked at Alex. She wrote back.
"Look, they're only being nice to me cause' I humiliated myself 3 times today. I tripped twice, then I asked a stupid question, then I got detention. So, you beat me 3 to 1. Look, I really wanna be ur friend. I understand if you don't want to be mine."
She folded the note and handed it back to Alex. Then awaited her reply.

Post by Ryan Evans on Nov 18, 2007 3:18:38 GMT -5
Ryan sitting in his seat, grumbling as he fidgeting with his hat band.He was starting to get mildly affronted by everything that was happening, he'd been called a fag, had his girlfriend hit on in front of him, and almost gotten in a fight and it had been less than fifteen minutes into the school year, he knew that was a bad omen, no matter how many cladestine smiles Sharpay shot him, they were in unchartered territory.
Can we just go now? He asked, hoping that Sharpay would be able to keep up the facade of needing to rehearse badly, regardless of the fact it was only the first day back to school. Darbus would eat it up, thinking her two stars were thinking of how to dazzle the school when all they wanted to do was dazzle each other and forget everyone else. For Ryan, that meant forgetting all about stupid Marco Ventura, he'd show them all someday he wasn't a fag, when he was the guy with the hottest girl in school on his arm at the prom; they'd all be sorry for anything and everything they'd ever said behind his back and to his face.

Sharpay shifted slightly in her seat as she heard Ryan's plea in her head. She wanted so badly to leave homeroom just as much. She couldn't take it anymore, Marco hitting on her, Marco calling Ryan a fag and almost getting him in a fight. She shook her head lightly, as she made a quick decision.
She turned her head on the side, glancing at Ryan sideways. I'll take care of that. A smirk tugged on the corner of her lips as she raised her hand, calling for Ms. Darbus' attention. She held the pink box tightly on her other hand as she spoke, "Ms. Darbus?" She looked at her favorite teacher, her suck-up smile plastered clearly on her face as she slowly lowered her hand. "You see, I suddenly felt this strong need to express my," she looked at Ryan, and feigned a slight surprise look on her face, "I mean, our," she pointed at her and her brother, "creativity." She smiled as sweetly as she can at their Drama coach. "Can we be excused, right now? You know how important it is for us to express ourselves when we need it, you have said so yourself. I listened to your every word." She said in her pleading voice, laying it on thickly as she tried to suppress her grin. She knows she's got their teacher under her spell now. She shook the little box on her hand slightly, just to lure her in better.

Eleanor suddenly caught of Lexy and Alexandra passing notes. She was already steamed with Lexy for talking, now passing notes. She rushed over and grabbed the note. She shoved it in her pocket of her sparklie black pants. She looked down at Lexy, and then at Alexandra. "Miss Archer, you will be joining Miss Peterson in detention today." She eyed both girls carefully, and then walked back to the front of the classroom. She whirled around to face the class dramatically.
"I expect to see many of you at the auditions next week! I'm offering you all the chance of a lifetime! I want to see you be something new, and explore who you are. I want to see you transform from the sluggish student to the dazzling actor. I want to see you spread your wings into bold, new horizons!" Eleanor said, lifting her arms dramatically. She knew she would reach the students with her speeches. She knew she inspired them in so many ways. She smiled, at them all when she caught sight of Sharpay's hand flying up.
Eleanor smiled and listened. She knew at once her speech had inspired her and Ryan to practice and prepare. She had no doubts these two would once again be the competition to beat if anyone wanted a lead in her show! She glanced down at the pink box. She wondered what Sharpay and Ryan had decided to give her this time. She had received a miniature Sharpay doll, a box of chocolate truffles, tickets to see the current touring Broadway show, and a miniature Ryan doll....to go with the Sharpay doll of course. Eleanor didn't really know what to expect this time. Their gifts often varied. She smirked at the box, and then smiled brightly at Ryan and Sharpay.
"Of course! You two may be excused to go express yourself in the ways you wish! The theater is your chapel, and is always open and willing for you two. Enjoy yourselves!" Eleanor smiled happily, and waved the Evans twins away. Now she really had to work the rest of the students to feel as inspired as those two were.
Oh if only I had a class full of Ryans and Sharpays....

Sharpay nodded gratefully at Ms. Darbus, still smiling her winning smile. She stood up, slung her bag on her shoulder, grabbed the pink box from the table with her right hand and grabbed Ryan's arm with her other, yanking him out of his seat. She gave him a quick look, before dragging him towards the front of the room, handing Ms. Darbus her gift with a smile. "And that's just a little something for you." She said, before waving at the oblivious teacher.
She continued to drag Ryan from the room, putting on the show of the big sister Sharpay, dragging her lapdog along in her evil schemes. She smirked at that thought as she finally exited the damn classroom with her boyfriend, not her poodle, giving him a knowing and suggestive look.

Alex grumbled in her seat, she couldn't believe she got in trouble because of Lexy, but at least she was being nice to her.
She turned and smiled to Lexy, giving her her answer. She perked up slightly at the sound of auditions, she liked auditions, even if she didn't get the part she loved the thrill of it.

Lexy's face turned real pale. She hadn't meant to get Alex in trouble. She turned around in her seat and whispered to Alex.
"psst, I'm sorry I got you in trouble. Maybe we can talk after class" She said apologetically. Her day has turned for the worst and Lexy didn't like it. At least Alex seemed to forgive her. Or was that a grimace Lexy thought, whichever it was Lexy didn't care. She turned her attention towards Sharpay and Ryan leaving. She thought to herself settling back to her seat "Showoffs."
