Senior Year Party!!! (Hollar!!)

[Jason Cross]

Troy, still trying to figure out what happened to his food, was talking to Gabriella. When he was done he went over to talk to Emma. Unfortunately, Marco had barged in. Troy thought to ruin the party. Troy and him some how never really got along.

Troy was shocked to see him. He hadn't been seen for a long time. "Uh... Emma. Did you invite him?" Troy was staring at him. Marco? Here? Not now. Please not at his party. He hated Marco. How could he be here. Troy was unpleased and speechless. Suddenly, words came out of his mouth. "What the hell.... are you... doing here?" He said slowly.

[Kennah Grace]

Kennah giggled and moved close to Jason. "Finally. I thought they'd never leave." A small smile graced her lips and she was just about to kiss him when she heard a voice. She looked up to see a dark haired boy looking at them. "Uh, Sharpay hasn't gotten here yet." she answered, looking him straight in the eye.

This must have been THE Marco everyone talked about. Well, as Kennah looked at him intently, she felt no different. In fact, she was probably the only girl in the entire school that wasn't fooled by Marco's charms and looks. She had been screwed over too many times by guys like that and had no intention of falling for another one.

[idiocynic]

The room seemed to grow silent and tense soon after the words left Lizzie’s mouth, and for a moment, she thought she had said something supremely stupid. Swinging around though, the cause was soon located in one tall, dark, and handsome senior.

Marco, she remembered instantly. There were some names that even she could not forget, although this was the first time she had seen him. He’s cute, she noticed at once with a passiveness that came from expectation or maybe just pure lack of hormonal drive. She’d heard a lot about him, mostly bad things, but it couldn’t be entirely true. He’s probably sweet on the inside, she told herself naively and elbowed her way through the crowd that seemed to be forming around him in anticipation.

“Hi,” she announced cheerily once she’d squished herself in front of him. “Want to play Seven Minutes in Heaven?”

[jason]

Jason smirked as Kennah leaned in for his long awaited kiss but was once again interupted. He bit back a groan of frustration as he look to see who it was and was suprised to see it was Marco. Jason didnt know a whole lot about him, only that apparently every girl the guy walked by turned to mush.

He insistively tightened his grip on Kennah's waist when he came over. But the question about Sharpay made something come alive in him, what was it......protection? Ever since Jason had taught Sharpay basketball during the summer he had grown attracted to her....but in big brother little sister way mind you. He suddenly wanted to protect Sharpay from this supposively Mr. Suave.

Jason watched Kennah's reaction when she answered Marco's question and was proud to see that she wasnt swayed by him. Good girl. Now go tell him to piss off and leave us and Shar alone.

[Taylor McKessie]

Taylor wasn't sure what was going on. The party was somehow in a totally mess, and perhaps even more messier if ever the Evans finally arrived. She heard this girl that she had just met calling to the rest of the room, and thought she was rather too over-hyper in a sense.

Scanning around the room, Taylor tried to find presence of her close friends, but unfortunately she couldn't. Suddenly, a oh-so-familiar- voice snapped Taylor back to reality. Him. She could feel her anger rising for some reason. She doesn't care if he's charming or handsome, but he certainly didn't have any manner at all.

Silently cheering for Troy as he spoke to Marco, Taylor watched with interest to what was going to happen. She didn't want to interfere, unless needed to, and she was going to keep quiet and sat down there for the moment.

[Kennah Grace]

When Kennah noticed Troy talking to Marco, she took Jason's hand and hurried away from them. As they approached the kitchen, she smiled at her boyfriend. "I don't care what everyone else thinks. He's a jerk and I would never fall for him." She made a face and pulled him into the kitchen, which was surprisingly empty.

"You seemed a bit tense at his mention of Sharpay." she said, wrapping her arms around instantly. "Anything wrong?" She knew that Jason and Sharpay were never together and never would be, but she was just curious at why he seemed bothered. But, she didn't even wait for him to answer her question. Kennah leaned down and granted him the long awaited kiss.

[Marco Ventura]

Marco could only stare at the bubbly blonde. Who was this chick, why was she here, and... why on EARTH was she attempting to distract him from his mission to find Sharpay?!

Marco stared at her blankly, chuckling under his breath. He probably looked possessed, but this girl was WEIRD. She looked like a German maid, with all the bubbliness of a hyperactive Japanese schoolgirl. Enough to drive anyone mad - in a BAD way, mind you. Marco continued to stare her down.

"...Um... I'm a little busy," Marco noted, trying not to stare directly into her flashing, dazzling white teeth. "...Do YOU know where Sharpay is? By any chance?"

[jason]

Jason relaxed under Kennah's lips as she kissed him in the thankfully empty kitchen. He kissed her back in thanks and gently held the back of her head to make the kiss longer. They finally pulled away and his arms wrapped around her waist. ''I taught Shar how to play basketball during the summer and she was just really sweet. I dont know...I kinda wanna protect her, like a big brother I guess.''

[Kennah Grace]

Kennah smiled. "Aww..that's so sweet of you!" She giggled and took his hand. "Let's go back out there before Troy yells at us again." she said, pulling him out of the kitchen. She really didn't want Troy to get mad at them again. She didn't think she could take the pressure.

[idiocynic]

Standing next to Marco made her feel her full height – not much – as she strained to see his face from so close.

“Sharpay, I don’t know,” Lizzie told him after a quick sweep of the room. “She usually shows up late. Like with her brother. It’s the whole fashionably late thing, you know? I think there’s this rule about having to wait like an hour or so after the party starts. Not that Sharpay needs to be late to be fashionable, and… wow, you have big eyes.”

She tilted her head to side in wonder at his deer in the headlights look but shrugged away the thought soon afterwards. She wasn’t about to be racist… that could be constituted as a race, couldn’t it? Her eyes wandered again as she mused, stopping on Their Gracious Host who looked a little like a tomato at the moment.

“Oh, he’s just looking for Sharpay, silly.” She swatted a hand in Troy’s direction and giggled for the right effect.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe had managed to hide herself fairly well at the party - having not seen Chad, she resigned herself to staying away from everyone, especially after that whack job Marco showed up. At the moment, she was reading one of the books lying on a nearby table ('The Art of War' by Sun Tsu), wondering why on earth Troy owned books of Chinese warmaking wisdom.

Maybe it wasn't his. Like, it was his mom's. But that still didn't make sense. HIs dad, sure, maybe.

Bebe noticed the ridiculously bubbly blonde girl and dug her nose into her book quickly. She didn't want to be seen by someone so gregarious, not by a long shot. Bebe slunk to the floor, now hidden from sight.

What a way to spend a party, Bebe thought. It's almost like not having friends again.

[Martha Cox]

Martha had finally shown up at Troy's party. She hadn't planned to be so late. In fact, Martha had planned to leave her house a little bit early and head over there, but thanks to her younger sister, Martha was now extremely late.

She had been shopping in the mall for several hours with her sister. Martha tried several times to get the pair home, but was unsuccessful. While she may be the dominant one, Martha could definitely understand why she didn't want to leave.

You see, the party that Martha had been invited to, was a senior party. Which meant, only seniors could attend. Her sister wanted to come since she loves talking and making new friends, but because of the selected invite, Martha had to let her sister down. She was just a few years shy of making the cut.

She arrived at Troy's house, taking her I-pod ear plugs out of her ear and tucking the music device in her pocket. Standing at the doorway, Martha debated on whether or not she should ring the door bell, knock, or just go inside. With the abundant amount of cars parked along the curb, she knew that everyone was there. She didn't want for people to get interrupted by her pressing the door bell. She decided the ringing the doorbell was clearly out of the question and knocking was much better.

After a few knocks, and no reply, Martha decided to let herself in. Extending her hand out and placing it on the doorknob, she grasped it tightly and turned the knob. With the door opened slightly ajar, she took a few steps inside and glanced around, there were so many familiar faces. Martha decided to walk around to see if she could find any of her close friends.

[Kennah Grace]

Kennah's gaze swept the room and finally rested on Martha. A smile graced her lips and she headed through the crowd towards her. "Martha!" she called out, still weaving in and out of people. Her hand was still tightly latched onto Jason's as they made their way towards her new friend.

"I'm so glad you came!" she said, as soon as they reached her. "Now the party can really start!" She giggled and put an arm around Jason's waist.

[Taylor McKessie]

Taylor was still watching the interaction between Marco and the blonde girl with amusment when she noticed Martha coming into the house. She stood up and walked towards her, only to arrived at her side after Kennah had. She did manage to catch the last phrase.

"Hi Martha!" She greeted and turned to face Kennah. "Well, the Evans hadn't come yet." She noted, glancing over the room before resting her gaze back on Kennah. "And Marco is making a scene just to find Sharpay." She shook her head. Taylor was worried that if Marco continued his mission of finding Sharpay, and that Troy wasn't too happy about that, a fight may ensured and that definitely isn't part of the party.

[Kennah Grace]

Kennah smiled at Taylor, but her thoughts of a fight breaking out were just the same. "Yeah. As soon as Ryan and Sharpay get here, the party will FINALLY start!" She laughed and looked around the room. Marco and the blonde girl were still talking, and Troy was watching them closely. She hoped they'd be okay. Please no fighting. she thought.

As her eyes continued scanning the room, they landed back on Marth and Taylor, and a smile was still on her lips. "So, what have you guys been up to?" Kennah hadn't really talked to Martha and Taylor much so she decided now would be the best time to start.
