The next day...

{hallway}

I'm at my locker getting books for class. I get done, shut my locker door, and see Chad leaning behind it.

Aaliyah: Hey Cha- cha

Chad- Hey Liyah

Aaliyah: What do I owe the pleasure?

Chad: Are you doing cheer practice in free period?

Aaliyah: No, but I am going to the work on some routines and flips, I shouldn't take long. Why?

Chad: I need you to help me get some sense into Troy about the game and the musical and stuff

Aaliyah: Yeah totally, I'll help

Chad: Ok thank you Liyah

Aaliyah: No problem Cha- cha

Chad kisses Aaliyah, smiles at her and walks away. Aaliyah stood there stunned and happy, then she went to home room.

•Aaliyah's cheer practice outfit^

Aaliyah was doing some flips as the boys were leaving the gym and Troy was coming in.

Troy: I, uh,, think I'm gonna stay a while. Work on some free throws

Coach Bolton: Since you missed practice, I think your team deserves a little effort from you today

Aaliyah whistles while stretching.

Aaliyah: Your dad doesn't too happy

Troy: Thank you for input, Aaliyah

Aaliyah: You are so welcome

Troy rolls his eyes and continues shooting baskets

Gabriella: Wow, So this is your real stage,

Troy: Yeah, I guess you could call it that. Or just a smelly gym

Aaliyah: Gabriella, you shouldn't be here. It's a closed

Troy: Chill out Aaliyah. It's fine

Aaliyah: Alright, don't say I didn't warn you (starts humming 'Blank Space')

Troy hands Gabriella the basketball, she shoots it and makes it.

Troy: Whoa! Don't tell me you're good at hoops, too

Aaliyah: She's not

Gabriella: You know, I once scored 41 points
at a league championship game

Troy: No way

Gabriella: Mm-hm. And the same day, I invented the space shuttle and microwave popcorn,

Troy: Oh! Microwave popcorn. Ha-ha. Funny
