"Okay, you guys," Carlos snapped everyone out of their conversations. Throughout the game is was always a really close score between the team, and yet, when it mattered they ended up tying and Carlos had to go back to see what was the tie-breaker. "According to the Musical Choosical Handbook of Rulesicals, the only to resolve a tie at the of regulation play is with lightning speed round of Getcha Head in the Frame trivia questions. Are you ready? Because people have been known to cry during this."

"I thought you had never actually played this-"

"Honey," Carlos interrupted Seb's question, "not today of all days. Okay, here we go. Name both jersey numbers Troy wears in the movie."

"Oh, uh, fourteen and ten," Big Red jumped up.

"How did you know that?" Ashlyn looked at Big Red in awe. "How did he even know that?"

"Correct," Carlos nodded, flipping to the next card. "How does Gabriella describe herself when she's complaining to her mom?"

"Oh!" Ashlyn practically stood up out of excitement. "As the school's freaky genius girl."

"And do people usually talk like that?" Carlos pointed at Ashlyn for the answer.

She quickly shook her head. "They do not."

"Correct," Carlos flipped the card and turned to the East High team. "Wildcats. Whose red tie does Ms. Darbus compliment at auditions?"

The team looked at each other, having the face of the guy in their minds, but not his name.

"Allen?" EJ spoke up.

"Yes!" Carlos looked at him impressed.

"Wow!" Gracie muttered under her breath. She would've never gotten it.

"I looked it up on my phone, you guys," EJ sadly held up his phone that was previously covered by a blanket. "I can't stop cheating, I'm sorry."

"I take back my 'wow'" Gracie told him, but her voice got lost in the crowd of her complaining teammates.

"Well, the West High Knights have a chance to steal," Carlos looked at the team as they beckonned him to continue. "What is the name of the girl who pops and locks?"

"I love to pop and lock and jam and break," Gina sang, doing the same dance moves the girl does in the movie. "Martha Cox!"

"The West High Knights win!" Carlos threw confetti in the air as the West High Knights celebrated their victory. Carlos grabbed a ribbon and walked up to Gina. "You, my dear, get this homemade Scholastic Decathlon ribbon. Careful, it's just a straight pin and was never sanitized."

"Wait, okay," Gina pulled out her phone and held it up in the air. "Everybody, get in."

The group bunched together as Gina took the photo, laughing as she celebrated her victory.
