In Training (Open to anyone)

[Zeke Baylor]

Zeke held Emma's hand and walked up the stairs. As he held her hand he couldn’t feel any spark. Like he did, when he kissed Sharpay, or when he forced Bebe out into the hall. Ah, Lava Springs memories.

"So, how is your first day going? Any people crushing on you, or you crushing on anybody else?" Zeke blurted out. "Yeah sorry about asking just spilt out." he said still holding Emma's hand. As Zeke held Emma's hand people looked at them and whispered.

Do they think were going out?


Zeke was in his thoughts, but then noticed he was right next to the counseling office. "Hey, here it is, come on!" Zeke said happily, and walked in still holding Emma's hand.

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma tried to keep up with Zeke. He was walking fast, and plus wearing heels was not helping her any. She was glad that he was holding her hand, otherwise, she probably would have lost her balance by now. She hurried along, and tried to listen to what Zeke was saying.

"My first day is not one of my best." Emma laughed slightly. "I have been late for every class so far, and I'm getting lost constantly. It's not fun being a new student in a huge school like this one." Emma grasped tighter onto Zeke's hand, as they continued to run up the stairs. She was starting to get out of breath. "Crushes? Not really. I mean, I did see this really cute boy with dark hair, and tan skin. He was a stud! But I think him and Sharpay might have something going on, at least that's what I have heard. Of course, she will probably tell me at lunch, since I am one of her closest friends!" Emma said proudly.

Emma observed that a few people were looking at them, as they passed hurriedly by holding hands. She chuckled softly as they probably thought how Zeke had suddenly gotten this new girl as his girlfriend. There were other rumors that could be worse, then being paired with Zeke Baylor. Of course, Emma had no romantic feelings for Zeke, just like she knew he didn't see her as anything but a friend as well, but it was sometimes fun being part of a rumor, especially if you happen to be the new girl in school.

Emma realized they suddenly had come to the counseling office. She was so grateful that Zeke had led her there. She smiled a huge grin at Zeke, as they entered the office.

[Zeke Baylor]

"I could be your "buddy" you know... show you around, make sure your not late, you know." Zeke smiled. "That’s it, I will ask the councilor. I could probably do it, I have been here forever!" he said looking around and saw the fish tank that was always there with the same fish. Still alive eh?.

"Marco!?" Zeke exclaimed. Marco, he is not her type... she is gonna get hurt. "Marco is crazy, he thinks he thinks he is Justin Timberlake." he said. "He thinks the song, Sexy Back, is dedicated to him." he said rolling his eyes.

Zeke then laughed as he pictured Marco singing Sexy Back. Black background and steam around him. Then Sexy Back played and he lyped sync: I'm bringing sexy back. I'm Sexy Back.

Zeke came back to earth and introduced Emma to the councilor.

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

When Zeke suggested to shows Emma around she practically lunged at him with a hug.

"Thank you Zeke! I've been getting lost all day, and no one has offered to help me. I really appreciate it!" She smiled at Zeke, and then looked around the office. She noticed a huge fish tank with a lot of fish in them.

She sighed dreamily when Zeke mentioned Marco. As soon as he said Marco was like Justin Timberlake she practically squealed with delight.

"Isn't he just like Justin? Oh....he's so beautiful..." Emma's eyes glazed over as she went far away in her thoughts of Marco singing "Sexy Back" and how he was looking right at Emma, and singing it to her. She sighed, and then realized she was still in the counseling office. She cleared her throat, but a smile was still showing on her lips.

She was very glad to meet the counselor and they discussed a few things about East High. He answered a few of her questions and then set her on her way. She looked up at Zeke, as they started to walk out together.

"Thanks again, Zeke." Emma smiled. She dug out her class schedule from her bag, and then looked at it.

"Do you know where the chemistry lab is? I have that later, and I figure I might as well know where it is while I have my tour guide with me." Emma winked at Zeke, and hoped he would stick by her side today to show her around.

((Back at the gym....))

Chad grinned devilishly at Bebe, preparing to steal the ball back off her. He bent into a more defensive position. "Think you're all that, huh?" he teased. "Well, we'll see!" He launched at her, preparing to grab her around the waist and tickling her until she released the ball. That kind of tactic probably wouldn't work in a game, or with Troy (he'd have to try that one out!) but it would probably work with Bebe.

He got his arms around her waist before she could even react, ready to lift her up from behind, fingers poised to tickle. "Give it back!" He said, voice mocking and menacing. "Or risk the wrath of the triple threat athlete, awesome at everything. Wrath means tickling! Surrender?" He was tempted to bite her ear, just for giggles. But that would just be kind of weird.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe screamed with laughter, giggling insanely. Tickling! How she'd forgotten! No one ever touched her any more, much less tickled her. Before long the ball had dropped to the ground, long forgotten, and she'd doubled up on the ground, shrieking with giggles. Her eyes were watering.

"Okay - haha - OKAY!" Bebe cried out, falling to the ground, elated. "You win - you win! Haha!" She laughed for a few more seconds before wiping tears away from her eyes and smiling at Chad. "Well, now you know I'm ticklish... one more random fact about Bebe Tenko. Aren't you proud of yourself?"

Bebe stood up and smiled coquettishly at him. "Well, are you?"

[cyelena]

Chad beamed at her. "Of course I am! Yet another weakness to make you fall to the charms of the amazing Chad Danforth!" He was being dramatic, but hey, it was fun! Now he knew why the Evans were always acting like this.

He picked up the forgotten ball, bouncing it absently. "I never would have thought you were so reactive though. Man, can you imagine what you'll do when we make out?" He stopped, realising how stupid it was for him to have said that aloud. "Uh, just ignore that comment. I'm kidding."

Well, kind of. He intended to make out with her one day. Hopefully it would be better than his past kisses (though that one chick from that party once and... No, shut up!!). He grinned guiltily at Bebe, hoping she was mad at him. He still hadn't discovered if she minded his occasional male-minded comments.

[Bebe Tenko]

"Hah. Knew that would come up eventually," Bebe smirked, just as guiltily as Chad. "But I don't care, seriously. Boys will be boys, and girls shouldn't make such a big deal out of it, because we're just as guilty." Bebe thought briefly of Jacob and turned a bit red before shaking the thought out of her head. "So boys are stupid and girls are hypocrites. Wisdom from me. Yay..."

Bebe stood up with a little hop in her step, noting the look on Chad's face. "...You okay? You look like you expected me to be mad. Why would I be mad? I like people who speak their mind."

[cyelena]

Chad was staring and he knew it. He'd never seen a girl not slap him for comments like that. "Woah." He said finally, voice amazed. "You are officially the most abnormal chick I've ever met. But the absolute coolest!" He said, breaking out of his daze and laughing.

"So..." he said, attempting smoothness and probably failing, "now that the topic has been brought up...?" He trailed off, hoping she would catch his drift. She was smart. She probably would. He tucked his spare hand into his pocket, leaning back on his heels. "Maybe we should... uh... discuss?"

[Bebe Tenko]

Oh good. Total awkwardness, Bebe realized as her hands grew clammy. Was she supposed to start, or was he? She really didn't quite know.

"Um... if I knew how this was supposed to work, I'd start discussing," Bebe admitted sheepishly. "Unfortunately, I'm not so great with relationships. But before we continue... they're playing Harry Potter at the dollar theater on Saturday. Sound good?"

Bebe took some steps closer to Chad. No good being across the room from him.

[cyelena]

He grinned as she came closer. He shrugged at her. "Nor am I. I usually just do the whole 'hey, she's hot! Let's make out!' thing, rather than the whole relationship bit. Did you know that Taylor was my first actual girlfriend?" He nodded in a mock snobbish manner.

"But nah, Harry Potter looks pretty cool. Lots of explosions and stuff. I've watched every movie so far! Never read the books though. So, on Saturday?"

He moved closer to her, close enough that they were almost touching. He couldn't help but feel that kissing her then would be... kind of perfect. He shut his eyes, trying to tune out thoughts like that. Instead, he settled for a grin, and hoped that his cheeks weren't going red.

[Bebe Tenko]

"Sure." Her words were being taken away from her. She didn't know what made her do it, or why even, but she kissed him. Bebe closed her eyes, foot twitching oddly. Why was her foot twitching? That was bizarre. Patently bizarre. She couldn't pull herself away to figure out what was wrong with her freaking foot - of all the times to have a weird body malfunction!

[cyelena]

To say that Chad was shocked would be an understatement. Yes, he'd thought about kissing her, but he'd not anticipated it at all. It felt a little weird, but regardless, he pulled her closer by the elbows, hands resting there once he had her where he wanted.

He pulled back, smiling nervously. "That was... unexpected." He said. "But a nice surprise." He'd never have thought that their first kiss would be in the school gym, with him covered in sweat. "You alright?" He asked, feeling himself kind of melting just by looking at her. Weird girls...

[Bebe Tenko]

"I suppose so... that was odd. Not bad, just... never thought I'd kiss you in a gymnasium." Bebe made a bit of a confused face before smirking. She was definitely tomato-red, and definitely replaying the moment in her head over and over and over again.

"...It's an odd place to share a moment," Bebe clarified. "I came here to play ball, and look what I got!" Bebe's voice was jubilant in an almost flabbergasted way. "Yay me!!"

Bebe suddenly swiveled around. "My God, was anyone around?" Bebe's eyes darted back and forth. "No? No? Good. ...Last thing I need today, especially after homeroom."

[cyelena]

Chad quirked an eyebrow at Bebe. “What happened in homeroom? Or is it just one of those things that I really don’t want to know?” He cocked his head to the side, looking at her curiously.

He smiled and shifted closer to her. “And besides… There’s absolutely nothing wrong with making out in the gymnasium. If you’ve ever dated a joke, you’ll get used to it.” He teased.

Words were failing him. Sure, he’d never been sweet or charming, but very little was popping into his mind except the fact that, well, bloody hell, she’d actually kissed him. And he really wanted to do it again. So he just moved in a bit closer once again, probably invading into her personal space, but whatever. “But… seen as we’re here… Wanna do that again?”
