•Aaliyah's ootd on top•
•After New Year's•

Aaliyah's pov:
My mom, Gabriella, and I are walking down the halls to find the principal. This is me and Gabriella's first day at a new school, because of our mom's job.

{Bell rings}

Gabriella: Mom, my stomach...

Miss Montez: Is nervous on first day at a new school,
You'll do great, You always do, I made my company promise that I can't be transferred again until you and your sister graduate

Principal Matsui: I reviewed you and your sister's impressive transcripts, Your lights will shine brightly at East High

Gabriella: I don't want to be the school's
freaky genius girl again

Aaliyah: Gabriella, you'll be fine. You have nothing to worry about

Miss Montez: She's right, just be Gabriella. And Aaliyah, you just be you and ace your cheer tryout

Aaliyah: You know I will

Principal Matsui: This way

Gabriella and I wave bye to our mom and follow the principal.

{Home room}

Gabriella and I walk into class and look around, then we give Miss Darbus some papers. Me and Gabriella went go find some seats.

Gabriella: Excuse us

Gabriella and I find some seats, I sat in front of Gabriella and she sat behind. I notice the boy from New Year's Eve, the one Gabriella sang, staring at her. Unfortunately for him, a girl blocked his view.

{bell rings}

Miss Darbus: I trust you all had splendid holidays, check the sign-up sheets in the lobby
for new activities. Mr. Bolton (he leans down in his seat), especially our winter musical, we will have singles auditions..

While Miss Darbus was talking, I noticed a boy turned around to look, where his friend was looking earlier. His eyes happen to into mine, he was cute. I smiled and waved at him, he did the same thing and turned back around.

Miss Darbus: ... and pairs auditions for our two leads

Chad: Pfft

Miss Darbus: Mr, Danforth, this is a place of learning, not a hockey arena, there is also a final sign-up for next week's scholastic decathlon competition, Chem Club president Taylor McHessey
(she raises her hand) can answer all of your questions about that

(rings)

Miss Darbus: Ah, the cell phone menace
has returned to our crucible of learning

I check in my school bag to see if it's my phone, but it wasn't.

?: Is it your phone?

Miss Darbus: Sharpay and Ryan, cell phones, I will see you in detention,

Sharpay: Ahh!

Miss Darbus: We have zero tolerance
for cell phones in class. so we will get to know each other in detention. Cell phone, (me and Gabriella puts our phones in the bucket) and welcome to East High, Miss Montez's. Mr. Bolton, I see your phone is involved, so we will see you in detention as well,

?: That's not a possibility, Miss Darbus. Your Honor, see, 'cause we have basketball practice, and Troy...

Miss Darbus: Ah, that will be 15 minutes
for you too, Mr. Danforth. Count 'em.

Taylor: Could be tough for Chad. He can't count that high

Miss Darbus: Taylor McHessey, 15 minutes.

(Taylor gasps)

Miss Darbus: Shall the carnage continue?
Holidays are over, people, Way over!
Now, any more comments, questions? Jason.

Jason: How were your holidays, Miss Darbus?

I rolled my eyes at the dumb question.

Jason: What?

{bell rings}

Gabriella and I pack our bags. I start noticing that Gabriella is packing her bag, faster than I was. We both get done and head out the classroom.

{hallway}

Troy: Hey!

Gabriella: I don't...

Troy: Believe it,

Gabriella: Well, me...

Troy: Either, But how?

I stood there behind Gabriella, weirded out that they finished each other's sentences.

Gabriella: Our mom's company transferred her
here to Albuquerque

Troy: (confused) our?

Gabriella: Oh, I almost forgot this is my younger sister (I moved from behind her), Aaliyah

Aaliyah: Hi, nice to meet you

Troy: Nice to meet you too

Aaliyah: I'm head to my next class. Bye Gabs, bye Troy

Troy and Gabriella: Bye
