Start of Something New || {High School Musical}

Gabriella: Is Sharpay really, really mad at me?
I said I was sorry

Taylor:Look, no one has beaten out Sharpay for
a musical since kindergarten,

Aaliyah: Dang, that's a long time

Gabriella:I wasn't trying to beat anyone out. We didn't even audition, we were just singing

Taylor: You won't convince Sharpay of that. If that girl could play both Romeo and Juliet, her own brother would be aced out

Aaliyah: (scoffs) I bet she could and would

Gabriella: I told you it just happened, but I liked it. A lot

Aaliyah: Oooo, my older sister got a crush and his name is Troy

Gabriella: Ohhh, like you could talk. You have a crush on Chad

Aaliyah: And do (flips hair)

Gabriella: Did you ever feel like there's a whole other person inside you just looking for a way to come out?

Taylor: Not really. No

Aaliyah: Gabs, you are lovesick

(bell ringing)

(Taylor gasps)

Taylor: Let's go

{after school}

I get home, Gabriella is still at school practicing with Kelsi and Troy, so I'm home alone. I look around if my mama's home, to make sure I'm really home alone, but she is nowhere to be found. So I'm actually home alone.

I go to my room, I look in my school bag to make sure I don't have any homework, and to my surprise I don't any homework.

I go my speaker, hook up my Bluetooth, and start playing my music. 'Sit still, Look Pretty' came on, I start to sing and dance along.

Aaliyah: 'Could dress up, to get love
But guess what?
I'm never gonna be that girl
Who's living in a Barbie world

Could wake up, and make up, and play dumb
Pretending that I need a boy
Who's gonna treat me like a toy

I know the other girls wanna wear expensive things, like diamond rings
But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string
This queen don't need a king

Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this girl right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that's where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

You get off on your 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty'

I listen to the rest of the song. I start to get really excited for what comes next, I jumping up and down to the opening of 'The Way You Make Me Feel'. I start singing dancing.

Aaliyah: Hey, pretty baby with the high heels on
You give me fever like I've never ever known
You're just a product of loveliness
I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress

I feel your fever from miles around
I'll pick you up in my car and we'll paint the town
Just kiss me, baby, and tell me twice
That you're the one for me

The way you make me feel (the way you make me feel)
You really turn me on (you really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet (you knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone (my lonely days are gone)

The rest of the song plays and finishes, I excitedly waiting what plays next. I don't hear the next song instead I hear my phone ringing, I grab my phone to see who's calling me and it's 'Cha- cha🏀🤍'. I answer the phone.

Aaliyah: What're you doing?

Chad: Nothing really, I just got home

Aaliyah: Ohh that's sounds soo interesting (sarcastically)

Chad: Ha ha ha, very funny. What're you doing?

Aaliyah: You know the usual, listening to music, singing and dancing along to it

Chad: Yep, definitely sounds you Liyah

Me and Chad talk little more, after a while I start to get sleepy.

Aaliyah: Welp, it's been fun Cha- cha. I'm tired and going to sleep. Good night

Chad: Good night Liyah

I hung up the phone.
