Hey-hic-Emmett, Sharpay called.

Emmett just looked at Sharpay. Her usually shiny blonde hair looked lackluster. One eye had blue glittery eye shadow on and the other had dark gray eye shadow on. Her lip gloss was smeared all over her mouth and she wore pink sweatpants and a gold sequined tank top. On her feet was one pink flip flop and the other was a black stiletto boot.

Sharpay, are you drunk? Emmett asked the blonde.

Why-hic-do you-hic-say that? Sharpay asked, swaying on her feet.

Um, have you looked at yourself? Emmett replied.

From the parking lot, a very thrilled Alice was pulling out her cell phone and taking pictures of the drunk diva while Kelsi looked on and laughed.

What's going on? Gabriella asked her friends.

She and Jacob had just arrived on his Harley. Turning to them, Kelsi barely managed to say in between her fits of laughter.

Do you see Sharpay?

No, why, oh, my goodness, Gabriella cried, catching sight of the blonde. Wow.

Is she hammered? Jacob asked.

Totally, Alice squealed, snapping away. Alice, just stop Gabriella snapped.

Why?

This is good stuff! It's going to be all over Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, the works Alice argued, turning to look at her friend.

It's not funny anymore, Alice.

How would you like it if someone put pictures on the internet of you drunk? Gabriella pointed out. Before Alice could answer, someone began singing very loudly and very off-key,


You're reaching out

And no one hears you cry

You're freaking out again

'Cause all your fears remind you

Another dream has come undone

You feel so small and lost

Like you're the only one

You wanna scream

'Cause you're desperate

You want somebody

Just anybody

To lay their hands on your soul tonight

You want a reason to keep believing

That someday you're gonna see the light...

You're in the dark

There's no one left to call

And sleep's your only friend

But even sleep can't hide you

From all those tears and all the pain

And all the days you're wasting

Pushing them away

It's your life

It's time you faced it

You want somebody
