The next day, after school, Isabella was in the chemistry room with the rest of the scholastic decathlon team. Isabella was showing the rest of the team how to solve an equation on the chalkboard as the others wrote down what she was doing in their own notebooks.
"Zn 4 and by doing that you end up with two and two. Got it?" Isabella explained as she wrote down what she was saying on the chalkboard before turning around to face the others, causing them to nod at her with smiles on their faces. Taylor high-fived a girl in excitement before giving Isabella an approving look, causing Isabella to blush a little.
Next Isabella led them over to one of the tables that had a large beaker filled with a liquid on it as well as a small paper plate that had a purple powder in it.The students wore protective eye gear and held notebooks as they gathered around Isabella who had the beaker in front of her on the table.
"Okay guys, come here. Go ahead and put five grams of this in."Isabella said as she pointed to the powder, causing a student to pour a purple powder into the liquid and the mixture fizzed and started to change colors. "And that causes it to change from an acidic state causing the color to change from pink to blue. Just like those pH test strips." Isabella explained before looking at the clock and gasping in shock when she saw the time. "Oh, gotta go. See you guys later."
Isabella started to untie her apron as she rushed towards the door, placing her apron and googles on the hook next to the door and running out of the room. Isabella quickly rushed through the hallways before finding Troy standing in the hallway they said they were going to meet. Isabella ran past him and grabbed his hand, yanking him down the hallway with her.
"Woah!" Troy exclaimed in shock, causing Isabella to giggle as they continued to run through the halls. "You're late."
They slowed down as they were coming up to the hallway where the music room was where Kelsi was waiting for them. They quickly walked in and greeted her with soft smiles before sitting down on the stools next to the piano where Kelsi was sitting. Kelsi started to play the piano as Troy and Isabella got situated.
Kelsi plays the piano as Troy and Isabella sit on stools.
Both:
...strength to believe
Isabella:
We're soaring!
Troy:
Flying!
Both:
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
Troy:
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free
Isabella:
Ooohh!
As they were rehearsing, no one in the room realized that at that exact time, Sharpay and Ryan were walking by the closed door before stopping abruptly when they heard singing coming from the music room. Sharpay and Ryan leaned closer to the door so that they could hear better, causing Sharpay to gasp.
"Wow..." Ryan exhaled with a worried smile. "They sound good."
Troy:
Can you feel it building?
Like a wave the ocean just can't control...
Sharpay glared at her brother a little, scoffed and walked to the window of the music room door and peeked into the room where she saw Troy and Isabella practicing with Kelsi.
Isabella:
Connected by a feeling, ooh, in our very souls
"We have to do something." Sharpay exclaimed as she turned around and walked back over to Ryan and they continued to walk down the hallway. "Okay, our callbacks are on Thursday and the basketball game and scholastic decathlon are on Friday." Sharpay thought out loud before getting a smirk as she got an idea. "Too bad all these events weren't happening on the same day... at the same time."
"Well, that wouldn't work out because then Troy and Isabella wouldn't be able to make the..." Ryan started to say with a confused look on his face, causing Sharpay to raise an eyebrow at him. "I'm proud to call you my sister."
"I know." Sharpay smirked before walking away, causing Ryan to quickly follow her.

After finishing up with Isabella and Troy, Kelsi decided to go to the auditorium to work on a song that she was writing. As she sat at the piano Ms. Darbus walked in with Sharpay and Ryan following her. Kelsi quickly hid behind the piano so that they couldn't see her.
"So, if you're telling me as co-presidents of the drama club that changing the callbacks would be what's best for our theater program, then I might actually agree with you." Ms. Darbus said as they walked past the piano where Kelsi was hiding. Ms. Darbus and Sharpay shared a look before Ms. Darbus walked off and Sharpay put a hand on her hip with a smirk on her face.
"Is that a yes?" Ryan asked in confusion. Sharpay just gave him a dramatic wink before walking out of the auditorium while singing and Ryan followed her, leaving Kelsi sitting there with a dull expression as she placed her pencil on the piano.

The next day before school, Isabella and Troy walked into school with their friends while laughing. They stopped laughing as they saw Kelsi standing there numbly while looking at a poster. The group walked over to her in concern, with Troy looking at the poster that she was staring at.
"Callbacks the same time as the game?" Troy exclaimed in disbelief as he read the sign that said 'CALLBACK AUDITIONS RESCHEDULED TO FRIDAY BEGINNING AT 3:30 PM'.
"And the scholastic decathlon." Isabella snapped while shaking her head.
"Why would they do that?" Gabriella asked in confusion as she and Taylor shared a look before looking at Isabella in concern.
"I smell a rat named Darbus." Chad told the group angrily.
"Actually, I think it's two rats, neither of them named Darbus." Kelsi spoke up, causing the group to look at her in confusion.
"Do you know something about this... small person?" Chad asked as he looked Kelsi up and down.
"Ms. Darbus may think she's protecting the show, but Ryan and Sharpay are only concerned with protecting themselves." Kelsi told Troy as she took a step closer to Troy.
"Do you know what I'm going to do to those two overmoussed show dogs?" Chad snapped angrily as he shoved the basketball he was holding in his hands to another player before he started to storm off, causing Zeke and another player to hold Chad back.
"Nothing. We're not gonna do anything to them." Troy quickly spoke up as he started to think of a plan, causing everyone to look at him. "Except sing, maybe. Alright, now this is only gonna happen if we all work together." Troy then placed his hand in the center of the group. "Now who's in?"
Isabella gave Troy a soft smile before placing her hand on top of Troy's. Their friends followed her lead as Chad and Taylor gave each other a high-five.
