Gossip (Bebe and Shar at first)

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay's lips formed a smirk at her request. "I know you'd like my help in that matter. I am, after all, East High's fashion diva." She said, grinning. "And even though I loathe your date, I love doing make-overs, so yeah. No need to beg." She waved her hand, smiling at Bebe.

She clapped her hand excitedly, facing her. "So, when would you need Fairy Godmother's help, Cinderella?" She asked her, grinning. "This fairy's busy too, you know."

[Bebe Tenko]

"Well, Miss Galinda, I'd need your help before Saturday, unless you still hate Elphaba at this point," Bebe snickered. She folded her hands across the table, over her Zune. "I'm going to the movies... so I need something casual but elegant. Not over the top. I'm not trying to impress Chad yet. I'm trying to convince him that I can be his girlfriend."

Bebe turned her Zune back on. ABBA's 'Chiquitita' blared through the splayed earbuds. "...Man I love this song. Too bad no one's heard of Mamma Mia."

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay grinned, nodding at her. "I already have an outfit in mind. And you know what, it doesn't take much to convince the basketball man. Just show a little skin, he's all yours." She let out a laugh as she thought about it. It was true, though. Most of the jocks are suckers for skirts and tank tops, Troy was the only one different from them all, thus he fell in love with simple girl Gabriella.

She raised her eyebrow at Bebe's Zune. "What ABBA song is that?" She asked her, knowing right away it was ABBA. Heck, she knows a lot of ABBA, thanks to her mom.

[Bebe Tenko]

"It's 'Chiquitita'," Bebe responded with a smile. "It's one of my favorite songs of all time." Bebe tapped her foot in time with the rhythm as she mused on what Sharpay said.

"So if I show a little skin, I'm set?" Bebe thought about it. "Are all boys really that easy? Because, honestly, I've never seen a guy interested in Miss Emma, and I think she's gorgeous... if showing skin is what it takes to get her noticed, she should!" Bebe blinked. "...Sorry. I'm not trying to sound like a lesbian... I just think that Miss Emma doesn't value herself the way she should."

[Sharpay Evans]

"Oooh...Chiquitita, tell me the truth, I'm a shoulder you can cry on..." Sharpay sang the part, smiling at Bebe. "Yeah, I know ABBA, so you're not alone." She said, nodding at her.

She shook her head at her question, grinning mischievously. "No, not all boys are that easy," At least not Ryan, "only the jocks. Although of course you would have to look gorgeous as well, not just all skin. It has to come with attitude. And I think that's what Emma lacks," she shrugged her shoulders, suddenly feeling a little pitiful towards her loyal Sharpette. "She was trying hard to be like me, so I guess that's why the boys lose interest in her. They wanted to see something new." She said it, speaking like a true boy-expert.

[Bebe Tenko]

"My dad says I have attitude. He says it's gonna get me killed in a back alley," Bebe reminisced painfully. "...Oh well. I want to think that I won't be thinking about Jacob at all as this date gets closer. But there's someone else bugging me."

Bebe adjusted her cut-off tee and grimaced. "I think you'll be able to sympathize with me here... Zeke Baylor confessed his love for me this morning. And I do NOT want anything to do with him. At least... in a romantic sense. He can be a friend. Whatever. But I didn't tell him about Chad, cause I thought it would kill him..."

A smile twisted onto Bebe's face. "Much as I'd love that..." Bebe sighed. "No use.

"And I have no idea what I'd sing at the musical auditions, if it came up."

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay laughed once again at the mention of Zeke confessing his love. "He does that a lot, doesn't he? It was just last year when he actually came up to me, inviting me to watch him play ball...and he invited me at my worst day. Really, that boy needs some help." She shook her head, as her mind drifted back to that time when she first found out Troy and Gabriella auditioned for the musical.

"No, I don't think Chad would kill him. They're all like 'brothers since preschool'," she mimicked the way she had heard Chad Danforth say those words. "Maybe they'd fight, but they'll get over it. Don't stress too much about Zeke. He'll find his girl soon." She shrugged her shoulders at the thought. As much as she hate Baylor, she still feel bad for the guy, but she's sure some other girl is bound to fall for him, anyway.

She turned to look at Bebe when she mentioned something about the auditions. "Just sing any ABBA songs, Darbus would love it." She suggested, knowing her teacher full well. "She likes it better if the audition piece is somehow connected with the musical. It makes it easier for her."

[Bebe Tenko]

"Oh cool," Bebe smiled. She mused on the thought for a second. "ABBA... well, I've always loved 'The Winner Takes It All'. It's a sad song, but I know for sure that Chad won't go out for the musical, so I'm on my own." INstead of grimacing, like most girls would have, Bebe grinned. "It's nice to be part of a diverse coupling, isn't it? Going out with someone who's exactly like you isn't fun, I think. That's why I don't like any of those skaters... they're too much like me."

Bebe realized that her views were totally bizarre, but that was just the way she was. She shrugged, tapping her shoes on the ground. "So... any reason everyone's avoiding you?"

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay's smile slightly faltered when Bebe mentioned about going out with someone who's exactly like one's self. But she quickly regained it, when she remembered that Ryan and her aren't exactly alike, they were actually different in so many ways as well, it's just that they understand each other so well that people think they are so alike. "Yeah, diverse coupling is really fun. Although you would have to compromise a lot." She said, shrugging her shoulders again. She had no trouble with that one.

She chuckled when asked about people avoiding her. "Well, as usual. They still think I'm the Ice Princess who hasn't melted over the summer." She said simply, knowing it's true. The scared looks she had received that morning when she entered the building was enough proof.

[Bebe Tenko]

"Maybe if you hung out with someone other than Ryan, they'd see that you really are a nice person," Bebe offered. "I mean, sometimes it's like, why is she always with her brother? But I understand. I used to be like that with Tamaran..."

Bebe rolled her eyes. "She's driving me nuts lately... the ice cream HAS to be chocolate, the money CANNOT have any folds, and WHY ARE YOU CARRYING PENNIES? My God, don't get an older sister, Sharpay."

Bebe was full-on babbling, and it was obvious. Bebe slammed her head into the table, wincing a little before looking up, her green eyes wide with exhaustion.

"And I have Home Ec with Zeke next. Sweet Jesus. And there's this hot guy wandering around the halls who thinks he's God. Black hair, plaid shirt, and that look on his face that screams 'I'm the best thing since TV'." Bebe clearly had it in for this mysterious stranger. "I hate people like that. But I haven't seen him here before, so he must be new. Don't you hate those player jerks?"

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay shook her head lightly, still grinning. "Well, I can't really sacrifice my time with my brother just so people would like me. We're twins, we're close. That's what we are. And you know what? Honestly, I think people actually would like me better now if I continue to hang-out with Ry. I mean, people like him better than me." She said, nodding her head. "Even your soon-to-be boyfriend suddenly liked my brother, thus resulting to a friendship deal. So don't be shocked if Chad and I suddenly turned all brotherly-sisterly around each other when Ryan is around." She explained, knowing that she owed her an explanation after what she had done at the Summer-ender party.

She nodded understandingly at the older sister situations. She knew it too well...after all, she's the older sister. "Yeah, I know. Ryan had actually suffered the same fate. I'm just glad I'm the older sibling." She chuckled, tucking a hair behind her ear.

"Home Ec with Zeke? Dear God. I bet he'll offer you help from time to time." She looked sympathetically at Bebe, patting her on the back. She rolled her eyes though, at the mention of the new guy. Oh she knew that guy all too well.

"You're talking about Marco Ventura? Unfortunately, I do know him." She cringed at the thought. That guy would always pop up behind her, sometimes placing his arm around her and she had to push it away like it was some kind of snake or something. "Yeah, I mean, whoever loves those player jerks?"

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma searched around the cafeteria looking for any familiar faces. She knew that there were people she knew at East High, but it seemed she could never find them at the appropriate time. She grapsed tightly onto her salad and bottled water, as she scanned the tables. She finally spotted Sharpay and Bebe sitting at a table all by themselves. Emma suddenly became overjoyed she found some good friends to sit with. She walked over quickly, and caught the last bit of their conversation, just as she was walking up.

"Oh are you guys talking about that super hot guy?" Emma blushed slightly, as she put her salad and water on the table, and plopped down on the seat. Ever since she saw that mysterious man walking in the halls, she was absolutely smitten with him.

"Isn't he just the dreamiest?" Emma said, as she started to gaze out, dreaming of her and the hottie out on a date, just living it up. She quickly brought herself back to reality. She grinned excitedly at Bebe and Sharpay. "So, you know him, Sharpay? Is he just wonderful? Is he just the best guy ever? Is he just perfect for me?"

Emma's lips curled into a goofy grin, as he played in her day dreams once again. She spoke very softly and dreamily.

"What did you say his name was again?"

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay snapped her head towards the direction of her loyal Sharpette's voice. She knew she would transfer at East High, she called her after all and had almost broken her eardrums when she squealed excitedly. She looked at her, the dreamy look on her eyes made her frown, as she caught what she was saying. She can't believe her Sharpette would like someone as jerky, cocky and obnoxious as Marco Ventura.

She scrunched her nose in disgust as Emma gushed about the guy he loathed more than she does with Chad Danforth. "I can't believe you actually like...Marco Ventura!" She shuddered as she mentioned that name...that dreaded name. She faked a gag, just for added effect.

[Emma the Loyal Sharpette]

Emma squealed loudly when Sharpay mentioned his name. She finally knew his name, and she was sure to make him notice her. Emma had never been so set on making a guy like her before. She usually was content with whatever her relationship status happened to be at the time, but now, she was determined to make Marco her's.

"Marco Ventura.....mmmmm...." Emma sighed happily. She didn't bother touching her salad, or opening her water. She was no longer hungry. All she wanted was to talk to Marco.

She suddenly realized that Sharpay seemed to not like him. She furrowed her brow and looked at Sharpay with a confused expression.

"You don't like him? I heard a rumor that you and him were very close. That's why I knew to ask you about....Marco Ventura." Emma explained, as she sighed again when she said his name.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay made another totally disgusted look when Emma mentioned the rumor. "Ewwwwww!!!" She dusted herself off as if she had just been thrown at with something disgusting, like a frog or another freaky thing. "Ew, ew, ew, ew, EW!" She looked at Emma, shaking her head.

"There's no way that rumor is true...ugh...whoever started that will die!" She said dramatically, complete with the slamming of her hand on the table. "I wouldn't even let that Ventura guy near me!" She shuddered at the thought, feeling chills running up and down her spine. That guy could give her the creeps just by thinking of him.

She looked at Emma sympathetically. "Oh yes, please Emma. Take him. He's yours." She took her Sharpette's hand, she almost looked like she was begging for her to take him away from her.
