Onset of Something Suspicious? [Open to all]

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe smirked as she grabbed her bags and various paraphernalia and walked to the front of the room. She could afford to be late to Advanced Calc for this... Bebe laid a manilla folder, filled with all kinds of things, on Ms. Darbus' desk.

"Ms. Darbus, the preliminary set designs and tech designs you requested," Bebe nodded. "They're all in here. There's a lot of them, but for Mamma Mia!... we're gonna need a ton of stuff. I hope there's a costume designer in place."

Hopefully not the girl they had last year... Bebe thought, recalling the happy peppy flag team girl who'd almost ended up in traction after Bebe got pissed off at her flippant attitude. Bebe prayed that her open-ended speech allowed for Darbus to tell her the identity of some of the design team.

[Taylor McKessie]

Taylor looked at the new girl, who had introduced herself as Lexy, with a weird expression. She had just talked to her in the presence of Ms. Darbus. That would only meant she clearly didn't know the rules here. Furthermore new girl had asked her whether she could join the Decathlon Team. Didn't she heard Ms. Darbus announcing that there would be a meeting going on later after school?

When Ms. Darbus shouted, Taylor winced inwardly, but she was relieved that she did not talk to Lexy, or else she might have earn herself a detention right there. Meaning delay for the decathlon meeting after school.

As Sharpay dragged Ryan out of the classroom after she had gave something to Ms. Darbus, Taylor was rolling her eyes. Typical of her. But she noticed something different. Sharpay did seem to drag Ryan out as usual like a lapdog, but her expression wasn't as annoyed as in the past, and Ryan looked as though he was willing to be drag out by her sister.

Am I thinking too much? Taylor thought to herself, but dismiss the idea off as she turned her attention back to the front where Ms. Darbus was speaking.

[Kennah Grace]

((ooc:Sorry this is taking me forever guys! but im reading to keep up! ))

Kennah watched as Sharpay dragged Ryan from the classroom. She sighed, upon hearing their excuse. Sharpay always won over Ms. Darbus. Kennah could usually get away with some things, but most of the time, she was just like everyone else. She watched the twins go and noticed that Ryan looked more than happy to ve dragged along by his sister. Kennah shook thoughts from her head and looked back up to where Ms. Darbus was talking.

Only a few more minutes... she scribbled onto a peice of paper, that she handed over to none other than Taylor McKessie. Kennah and Taylor never really hit it off, seeing as Kennah was like a mini Sharpay most of them time. But, Kennah was ready to start anew, beginning with friends.

[Alexandra Archer]

Alex put her head in her hands, trying to be invisible to stop anything else going wrong.
She heard Lxey whisper to her that she "wanted to talk." she gave a little nod, it was all she could muster at that exact moment.
"Why not? What have I got to lose? I've already lost everyone else's friendship." she thought

[hsmgirl17]

Lexy was sad and upset. She really wanted to make up for what she had done to Alex. She saw her nod and knew that maybe all hope had not been nod. "Alright, meet me in the cafeteria for lunch" then she sneaked a peak at Taylor and was relieved that she had not had a detention. Her chance of meeting her after school was ruined now that she had detention. She went back to her work knowing that this was just the beginning.

[Gabriella Montez]

Gabriella was....late. Late? Please, anything but that. Sure she shared a little chat-or maybe even more- with Troy earlier in the hallways, but then right before the bell rang, Troy excused himself and they had to part ways, instead of actually walking to homeroom together. Ugh. She knew that Troy could sometimes be annoying, but she couldn't stay angry at him for too long, she loved him too much for that.

She scurried into the classroom, which hasn't changed much since the past few months when they were still juniors. There were just new decors up, which yet again signified Drama and the Arts instead of speaking about actual academic disciplines such as Math or Science like regular classrooms. But this was Darbus' homeroom. Hadn't it occurred to the East High faculty that our class has been having Darbus for homeroom adviser forever? Thank god I've only been here last year.

She slid discreetly among her classmates when Darbus was turned on her back. She craned her neck slightly to observe who were in her class. There were new faces, just like she had been before. There was the good old East High gang, with Troy chatting animatedly with Chad and the others. A smile crept up involuntarily on her face, she knew that she didn't want to smile, she wanted to let Troy feel that she was irked at him for leaving her all alone in the hallway. But no, he was Troy after all, the only guy who made her palms sweaty and her heart skip a beat. She decided to forgive him, even though Troy had no clue that she was mad at him earlier.

As she saw that Darbus didn't see her enter the classroom late, she quickly sat on her chair and asked the class, "Who has Advanced Calc and Physics? Also AP English and AP History?"

[Bebe Tenko]

"Advanced Calc? Physics for Engineering? Those are my first two classes," Bebe murmured before walking over to Gabriella. She knew Gabriella, to be sure; the two of them had talked before, but not for very long, because of the old Bebe's innate fear of people. A HUGE fear of people. Now she seemed calmer. She smiled.

"Bebe Tenko," Bebe introduced herself. "I think we've met before, but I could be wrong. I usually am. But I have Advanced Calculus AP first thing... so I'm probably in the same class as you. Hope our teacher is cool, right?"

Bebe slung her Lightning McQueen bag over her shoulder, grinning. "Your outfit is awesome, by the way."

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma groaned inwardly as Darbus kept rambling on about nothing interesting. She was sure that this lady was going to be the death of her. She was very glad that Zeke warned her about the cell phones, because there was no way she was going to be spending detention with the other two new girls. Emma tilted her head back slightly, and looked up at the ceiling. She began to count the dots on the ceiling, when she suddenly heard Sharpay's voice perk up. Before she even realized what they were talking about, Sharpay was dragging Ryan out of the room. She frowned slightly, wishing she was getting out of homeroom just like them.

Emma turned back towards Darbus, and listened to the rest of the announcements. She really wanted to go home and sleep. She yawned slightly, and then propped her head up on her desk with her hand. She could feel her eyelids dropping, as Darbus rambled on. She let another yawn out, and could tell she was drifting off to sleep. She really didn't want to get a detention for sleeping in class, but she was so exhausted, she just didn't care anymore. And with that, Emma drifted into a very light sleep.

[Gabriella Montez]

Gabriella smiled at Bebe, nodding at almost every word she said. "Yeah, it's probably a good thing that I get to share the same classes with you, we could know each other that way. And yes, I do hope our teacher's awesome this year. Last school year, bleh. Our Pre-Calc teacher was so boring and her spit flew everywhere, and that's considering that I've only been here for a few months or so. I feel bad for you guys", she replied affectionately, only joking in the end though.

Gabriella perked up at Bebe's compliment, she never thought she'd actually like what she was wearing today! Usually this was just one of her normal-good days, where at least once a week she felt like dressing up a little. "Thanks", she replied, turning to the side. "And your bag is awesome! Cars, huh? I love what you're wearing. It's so...eccentric, yet just so Bebe, in a good way."

[Jason Cross]

Troy turned around as he saw Gabriella enter the room. He wondered about what she said in the hallway and if it was all true or not. But she was the girl of his life and the only one that matters. He smiled eagerly and stared at her as she sat down. He saw as she was talking to Bebe. She seemed nice though he never had the pledge to get to know her.

Troy waved at Gabriella and hoped that she had seen his gesture long enough to reply back with a simple wave or smile. He turned and looked at Chad. "Hey what classes you got today? I've got Algebra III, Biology, and Historic Events."

[hsmgirl17]

Lexy was only half listening to Ms. Darbus now. She looked around at all the students in this class room. She saw Troy with a brunette hair girl and Kelsi talking to Martha and a girl dozing off at her left. she glanced at Ms. Darbus making sure that she wasn't listening and went back to the girl. She whispered "Hey, wake up". It didn't work. She tried tapping her lightly on the shoulder. That didn't work either. She glanced back at Ms. Darbus making sure that she was still rambling on about whatever she was rambling about. She turned back to Emma. There was only one thing she could do but this could mean that she would be in even more trouble. She got out her harmonica, leaned close to the girl and played it really loud.
"Here goes nothing" Lexy thought.

[Zeke Baylor]

Zeke took off his jacket and placed it over Emma. He then saw Lexy trying to wake her up. He placed a finger over his lips. He knew Emma had a long day. Trying to find everything and being late. He then went back to Ms. Darbus and smiled at her.

He was actually starting to like Ms. Darbus. He then gave a great smile at her and waited for her to say something to Lexy or Alex or someone. He laughed at everything in his hand and went back to focusing on Mrs. Darbus.


He then set his chin on his hand and looked at Emma asleep. He sighed at how cute she was and then faced back at Ms.Darbus. No way was he going to get the dunce hat.

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma shifted slightly in her seat as she heard a loud annoying buzzing in her ear. She became slightly irritated. She opened her eyes slightly, and looked at the new girl who tried to wake her up. She recognized her as Lexy. She groaned slightly at the annoying junior. Even though Emma knew she, too, was new at the school, she had social status because she was friends with Sharpay, and that made her part of the cool group. She eyed Lexy carefully, and looked at her choice of clothing. Definitely not something Emma would be caught dead in. She glared at Lexy.

"Buzz off." Emma whispered to her, when she felt Zeke place his jacket on her. She smiled gratefully at Zeke, and blew him a discreet kiss. She placed her arms on her desk, and rested her head on top of them. She soon found herself fast asleep again.

[idiocynic]

(OOC: I’m a late joiner, so hopefully it’s alright if I just add my character here? Italics are thoughts, and quotations are her talking to herself because she just does. Just so you know.

That’s odd, Lizzie thought to herself as she wandered down the deserted hallways of East High. The first day of school was usually marked by a vast number of stranglers, unwilling to go to class even after the bell rang and face prospect of yet another year wasted in the classroom. Picking up her books and her signature journalist-styled notepad and pen from her locker, she couldn’t help but feel a nagging sensation in the back of her mind.

“Oh no, Liz, you didn’t,” she muttered to herself wide-eyed, the realization dawning as she pushed up her sleeves to reveal the faded words “DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, REMEMBER!” written on her arm in caps. She broke out into an instant run, skidding around the corner and thankful that she once again had Ms. Darbus so at least the room was familiar.

The drama teacher seemed fairly immersed in her speech when she saw her through the door, and she opened her mouth to greet her before quickly snapping it shut again. “You’re late; just go in!” she told herself reprovingly.

She slid into the first empty seat she found, hoping to go unnoticed. Looking around, it didn’t seem very many people were paying attention always. There were several new girls, a sleeping Sharpette, and a few of the jocks doing whatever jocks do. Her spirits instantly brightened though when she heard a snippet of conversation from the pair behind her.

“Gabriella and… something like, BoBeep?” she murmured, her forehead crinkling in concentration. “No, that’s not right.” Shrugging to herself, she turned and added brightly, “I didn’t know they offered those courses here! My mom totally used to work for the Associated Press!”

[Alexandra Archer]

Alexandra was slowly dozing off in her seat, god this new teacher was boring.
"I hope there all not like this otherwise I'm doomed." she thought.
She jumped as a loud noise came from Lexy, her head snaped up and saw she had a harmonica in her mouth. "Oh you are so gonna get it." she thought
