Sam and Cat:High School Musical

Chpt 7:When There Was Me And You💔

-CLASSROOM
{Chad, Zeke, and Jason march into the science classroom and walk up to Taylor, as Sharpay and Ryan observe}
Sharpay: Something isn't right.
{They move closer so as to get a better view, but they can't hear much}
Chad: (to Taylor) Hey, look. We need to talk.
Taylor: Go.
{Sharpay and Ryan see Chad and Taylor talking}
Ryan: They must be trying to figure out a way to make sure Troy and Gabriella actually beat us out. Now, the jocks rule most of the school, but if they get Troy into the musical, then they've conquered the entire student body.}
Sharpay: And if those science girls get Gabriella hooked up with Troy Bolton, the scholastic club goes from drool to cool. (gets a frightening image) Ryan, we need to save our show from people who don't know the difference between a Tony Award and (loathingly) Tony Hawk.
{Sharpay and Ryan both walk away}
Taylor: (to Chad) Do you really think that's gonna work?
Chad: It's the only way to save Troy and Gabriella from themselves. So we on?
Taylor: Yeah.
Chad: Good. So we start tomorrow then.
Taylor: OK, the first thing.
Chad: Nice. (to Zeke and Jason) Let's go.

NEXT DAY - OUTSIDE
{Chad comes out from behind a statue as Taylor arrives to make her delivery: a laptop with a webcam}
Chad: So, my watch is 7:45 Moutain Standard time. We synched?
Taylor: Whatever.
Chad: All right, then we're on a go mode for lunch period, exactly 12:05.
Taylor: Yes, Chad, we're a go. But we're not Charlie's Angels, OK?
{Taylor hands Chad the equipment}
Chad: I can dream, can't I?
-INSIDE THE SCHOOL
{The various students are heading to their classrooms. Troy is looking around the men's locker room, searching for his teammates, but with no luck so far. He goes a bit further and finds them all gathered around a table filled with pictures and trophies}
Chad: (to Troy) "Spider" Bill Netrine, class of '72. He was the MVP in the league championship game.
Zeke: Sam Nedler, class of '02. Also known as "Sammy Slamma Jamma." Captain, MVP of the league championship team.
Jason: The "Thunder Clap" (everybody claps) Hap Hadden, '95. Led the Wildcats to back-to-back city championships. A legend.
Chad: Yes, legends, one and all.But do you think that any of these Wildcat legends became legends by getting involved in musical auditions just days before the league championships?
Wildcats: Get your head in the game!
Chad: No. These Wildcat legends became legends because they never took their eye off the prize.
Wildcats: Get your head in the game!
Chad: Now, who was the first sophomore ever to make starting varsity?
Wildcats: Troy!
Chad: So, who voted him our team captain this year?
Wildcats: Us!
Chad: And who is gonna get their sorry butts kicked in Friday's championship game if Troy's worried about an audition?
Wildcats: (not so enthusiasticly) We are.
Troy: Guys, come on. I mean, there's 12 people on this team, not just me.
Chad: Just 12? Oh, no. I think you're forgetting about one very important 13th member of our squad.
{Chad receives a picture from a Wildcat behind him and hands it to Troy. It's Coach Bolton}
Troy: My dad.
Chad: Yes, Troy. Wildcat basketball champion, class of 1981. Champion, father, and now coach. It's a winning tradition like no other.
{Troy looks at the picture as the scene changes to the science classroom as Taylor begins on Gabriella and Cat}
Taylor: From lowly Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon, to early warriors, medievel knights. All leading up to... lunkhead basketball man.
{Taylor shows Gabriella and Cat a poster of a basketball player with Troy's head, enlarged and superimposed on top of it. Gabriella smiles at the poster but Cat just laughed}
Cat:*giggles* Troy's head is giant.
Taylor: Yes, our culture worshipped the aggressor throughout the ages and we end up with spoiled, overpaid, bonehead athletes who contribute little to civilization other than slam dunks and touchdowns.That is the inevitable world of Troy Bolton.(speaking warmly now) But the path of the mind, the path we're on, ours is the path that has brought us these people: (presses a button and historical articles and pictures appear on her laptop) Eleanor Roosevelt, Frida Kahlo, Sandra Day O'Connor, Madame Curie, Jane Goodall, Oprah Winfrey and so many others who the world reveres.
Gabriella: Uh, but what is? You know, I've got Kelsi waiting for me to rehearse.
Cat:Yeah, and I'm supposed to meet up with Sam.
{Gabriella and Cat are about to leave when Taylor says:}
Taylor:Girls!
Cat:hi.
{Gabriella and Cat sit back down with somewhat scared looks on their faces}
Taylor: Troy Bolton and Chad Danforth represent one side of evolution. And our side, the side of education and accomplishment is the future of civilization!
{As Taylor says this she slaps various things with her pointing stick}
Taylor: This is the side where you both belong.
{Gabriella and Cat both look nonplussed as the scene changes back to Troy and the Wildcats}
Troy: (to Wildcats) Guys, if you don't know that I'll put 110% of my guts into that game, then you don't know me.
Chad: But we just thought...
Troy: I'll tell you what I thought. I thought that you're my friends. Win together, lose together, teammates.
{Chad and another classmate set up the laptop and the camera, oblivious to Troy}
Chad: But suddenly the girl... and the singing.
Troy: Man, I'm for the team! I've always been for the team. She's just someone I met.
{Unaware to Troy he is now being viewed by everyone in the science classroom, including Gabriella and Cat}
Troy: (from laptop screen) All right the singing thing is nothing. Probably just a way to keep my nerves down. I don't know. It means nothing to me. You're my guys and this is our team. Gabriella is not important. I'll forget about her, I'll forget the audition and we'll go out and get that championship. Everyone happy now?
{The transmission ends as Taylor starts again}
Taylor: Behold lunkhead basketball man.
Chad:(from laptop screen) And if you forget about the audition and Gabriella then I'll forget about Cat and get my head in the game.The championship is more important than her anyway.
Cat:*gasps quietly*
{Taylor fails to notice the tears that raced down Gabriella's and Cat's faces which is evident in what she says next}
Taylor: So, Gabriella, Cat, we'd love to have you guys for the scholastic decathlon.
{Again Taylor, intelligent as she is, fails to see how upset both Gabriella and Cat are}
Taylor: Did you both wanna grab some lunch?
{Gabriella manages a weak smile as she and Cat shake their heads at the offer}

Taylor: Well, we'll be there if you wanna come.
{Gabriella and Cat are both heartbroken. The scene shifts back to the locker room as the ecstatic Wildcats leave the locker room with Troy}
Chad: Wildcats!
Wildcats +Troy: Get your head in the game! Whoo! Let's go!
{Gabriella and Cat still in the classroom as they hear some commotion from the window}
Girl: Go, Wildcats!
Cat:*sniffles* I-I have to go.I'll see you later Gabriella.
Gabriella:Okay, bye Cat.
{walks out of the classroom crying to herself}
*Wildcats Sing Along*
{The Wildcats have decided to throw a celebration as Gabriella observes from the window. She sees Troy in the middle of it all}
Crowd: Troy, Troy, Troy, Troy!

🎵When There Was Me And You🎵
It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside

I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there

Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen?

'Cause now I have to pretend
🎶That I don't really care

I thought you were my fairy tale
A dream when I'm not sleeping

A wish upon a star
That's coming true

But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
🎶When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing

And when you smiled you made me feel
Like I could sing along

But then you went and changed the words
🎶Now my heart is empty

I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song

Now I know you're not a fairy tale
And dreams were meant for sleeping

And wishes on a star
Just don't come true

'Cause now even I can tell
🎶That I confused my feelings with the truth
Because I liked the view
When there was me and you

I can't believe that I could be so blind
It's like you were floating while I was falling
And I didn't mind

'Cause I liked the view
I thought you felt it too
🎶When there was me and you
