{Game Day!}
{gym}
The students and the EHS Cheerleaders start to rhythmically clap, then EHS Cheerleaders start our routine, that we have been practicing a while.
After a while, I hear the boys yelling. I motion to the girls to get up to greet the boys.
Announcer: And now introducing
your East High Wildcats!
Coach Bolton: Let's go! Go!
Announcer: ...for this championship game
between East High and West High!
The boys are in a huddle with Coach Bolton, talking about the game.
Basketball team: Wildcats!
Announcer: ... the coveted
championship trophy!
Us cheerleaders are cheering in background for the boys.
(blows whistle)
Announcer: East High wins the opening tip,
pushing the ball up the court.
EHS Cheerleaders: Whoo!
After a while, I look at my phone to check the time. It was time for Taylor and Gabriella to cut the game short.
Announcer: And West High pushes the ball around
the perimeter on the offensive end. Nice ball movement by West High.
The scoreboard starts to glitch and I smile.
Announcer: Driving the lane... shot is up and...
(buzzer sounds)
The scoreboard keeps glitching like crazy, that lets me know that Taylor and Gabriella did it.
Announcer: We seem to be experiencing
some technical difficulties
(whistle)
Announcer: We've got a timeout on the court here. We have a problem. Stop the game. Stop the game. Referee has signaled timeout.
Troy runs out the gym to go to the theater room for Callbacks.
Announcer: Everyone please remain calm.
Principal Matsui: We'll get this figured out real soon. In the meantime, per safety regulations, we need to all make an orderly exit from the gym, please. Thank you
Everybody starts leaving the gym. I look forward to Chad, but he already found me. He grabbed my hand and we ran, with the basketball team and cheer squad behind, to the theater room for Troy and Gabriella's Callback.
{theater room}
Me, Chad, the basketball teams, cheerleaders, and all the other students came into the theater. Me and Chad sat next to each other and the others sat with and around us.
(Kelsi plays intro)
Gabriella stands on stage scared to sing.
Aaliyah: (yells) You got it Gabs! ¡Canta, creo en ti! [Sing, I believe in you!]
Gabriella smiles but she still doesn't sing. Troy motions Kelsi to stop and went to Gabriella to encourage her. Troy points at Kelsi to play.
Troy: (sings) We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
that we can't reach
Gabriella: If we're trying so we're breaking free
Troy: You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Gabriella: Creating space between us
till we're separate hearts
Together: But your faith it gives me strength
strength to believe
Troy: We're breakin' free
Gabriella: We're soarin'
Troy: Flyin'
Me, Chad, the boys and the girls start rhythmically clapping.
Together: There's not a star
in heaven that we can't reach
Troy: If we're tryin'
Together: Yeah, we're breakin' free
Troy: Oh, we're breakin' free
Gabriella: Oh
Troy: Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Gabriella: Connected by a feeling
Ooh, in our very soul
Troy: Very soul, ooh
Together: Rising till it lifts us up
so everyone can see
Troy: We're breakin' free
Gabriella: We're soarin'
Troy: Flyin'
Together: There's not a star in heaven
that we can't reach
Troy: If we're trying
Together: Yeah, we're breaking free
Troy: Oh, we're breakin' free
Gabriella: Ooh! Runnin'
Troy: Climbin'
To get to that place to be all that we can be
Now's the time
Together: So we're breaking free
Troy: We're breaking free
Gabriella: Ooh, yeah
Troy: More than hope, more than faith
Me and Chad get up and continue clapping.
Gabriella: This is true, this is fate
And together we see it comin'
Troy: More than you, more than me
Gabriella: Not a want, but a need
Together: Both of us breakin' free
Gabriella: (spinning) Soarin'
Troy: Flyin'
Together: There's not a star in
heaven that we can't reach
If we're tryin'
Troy: Yeah, we're breaking free
Gabriella: Breaking free
Gabriella: We're runnin'
Troy: Ooh, climbin'
Together: To get to the place
to be all that we can be
Now's the time
Troy: Now's the time
Gabriella: We're breaking free
Troy: Oh, we're breaking free
Gabriella: Oh
Together: You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
(applause and cheering)
Taylor: Whoo!
Aaliyah: ¡Esa es mi hermana! [That's my sister!]
Boy: That's amazing!
Girl: Amazing, yeah!
