High School Musical || Huke Stemmings

Working Together

Now everything is back to normal, well kinda. "Nice shot captain!" Luke is back practicing basketball with his team.

"Yeah!" He shouted.

"Zn4, and by doing that, you end up with two..." Harry trailed off. "...and two. Got it?" Harry is back training for the scholastic decathlon with Ariana, Becca and the academic team.

"Yes!" Ariana high fived a member and looks back at Harry smiling.
——————————
After practicing, Luke showered really quick so he wouldn't be late picking up Harry. And his team clapped when Luke raced out, knowing he's following his dreams.

"What's happening?" Someone from the academic team asked about what Harry wants them to do.

"Come here. Go ahead and put five grams of this in, and that causes it to change from acidic state. Causing the change from pink to blue. Just like those pH strips. Got it?" Harry smiled at the team. He looked at the clock seeing he needs to meet up with Luke. "Oh, gotta go. See you guys later!" He raced out of the room and ran to the spot he'd supposed to meet Luke.

Luke being the sarcastic man he is, he acted like he was waiting for Harry like forever.

Suddenly, Harry ran up to Luke and grabbed his hand and started dragging him. "Whoa! You're late!" Luke joked.

"Shut up! You probably been there for about a minute."

"How could you know? I might've showered earlier to smell pleasant." The duo both laughed and went to the music room to meet Calum.

"Oh, great. You guys are here! I was thinking about putting this in a different key." Calum started playing the piano and Luke and Harry picked up.

Harry:

I want to breathe you in like you're vapor

Luke:

I want to be the one you remember

Harry:

I want to feel your love like the weather

Both:

All over me, all over me
I want to print our hands in the pavement

They both sang together. They both smiled and thinking how great the song is turning out.
———————————
Outside the halls, Perrie was mumbling hers and Niall's song, Good Girls. Suddenly, she stopped and Niall looked at her strangely. She turned her head, seeing Harry and Luke in the music room.

Luke:

Savour your words, I won't ever waste them
Look in your eyes and know just what you meant
So lie to me, just lie to me

She heard Luke belt out. She gasped thinking that Ariana's and Michael's plan would've worked but it didn't. "I thought they were mad at each other. Harry left Luke angry last week. Now they're back together?"

"They're confusing sometimes but they're awesome to hang out with."

"I have to do something. Okay, our callbacks are on Thursday and the basketball game and the scholastic decathlon are on Friday. Too bad all these events weren't happening on the same day... at the same time." She smirked, thinking about her plan.

"Why would you want to do it? Just let them try out. It's not going to kill you if you just tried."

"But what if Harry actually got the part? It will be the first show I won't be a main role! You know how terrible that would be?" She ranted.

"Really bad?" Niall questioned him.

"Yeah!" With that, she stormed off.
——————————
They both went into the auditorium, not seeing Calum working on Luke's and Harry's song, and started arguing with Mr. Higgins. "I don't want to hear any more about Luke and that Styles boy. So, if you're telling as co-presidents of the drama club that changing the callbacks would be what's best for our theater program, I might actually agree with you." Mr. Higgins said, making Calum look up. Perrie cheered silently and ran out the door. Niall looked over, seeing Calum who is confused. He mouthed 'sorry' to him then he caught on. He sighed and gave up on the music arrangements and shut the piano light.

The next day, Calum was standing where the callback list was waiting for Luke and Harry. Suddenly, Luke, Harry, Becca and their groups came into the school. "No problem at all. It was crazy, man." Michael said to Luke about hanging out. When Luke looked forward, he saw Calum staring at something. Wondering what he's looking at, he saw the callback sheet.

"Callbacks the same time as the game?!" He exclaimed.

"And the scholastic decathlon." Harry said, looking at the sheet.

"Why would they do that?" Ariana asked but Michael shrugged.

"I don't know." Becca said. She was just as confused as Ariana is.

"I smell a rat named Higgins." Michael said.

"Actually, I smell two rats," Calum said. "And neither one of them named Higgins."

"Do you know something about this." Michael looked down at Calum. "Small person?" Michael asked.

"Mr. Higgins thinks he's protecting the show, but Perire and Niall are only concerned about protecting themselves." Calum stopped at Luke and Harry.

"Is it because I misplaced my footing in the cafeteria or got the callbacks?" Harry asked.

"Probably both." Luke said, which made Harry sigh.

"Wait, that was you?" Michael asked. Harry
nodded. "Do you know what I'll do to that show dog?"

"Nothing. We're not going to do anything to them. Except to sing, maybe. Now, this is only going to happen if we all work together. Now, who's in?" Luke pulled out his hand. Everyone looked around, wondering who will be the first to join in. Harry smiled and reached for Luke's free hand and smiled. Then more people joined.

"You know I'm in." Michael commented.

"Me too." Becca said.
