Next Day

"Callback" Sharpay said before screaming looking at callback list with her brother as she started fanning herself "Callback for roles Arnold and Minnie next Thursday, 3:30 pm Ryan and Sharpay Evans, Riley Roberson and Troy Bolton," Ryan said reading the list out loud "is this some kind of joke? They didn't even audition" Sharpay asked her brother "maybe we're being punked?" He told her "what?" she asked her brother "maybe we're being filmed right now maybe we'll get to meet Ashton," Ryan said getting excited "on, shut up, Ryan!" Sharpay yelled at her brother as the wildcats came "what's wrong" Chad asked the girl laughing as Chad looks at the list "what?" Chad said "uhh!" Sharpay said storming away from the list 

  Cafeteria

Sharpay was pacing back and forth in front of her brother sitting at there lunch table "how dare she sign up! I've already picked out the colors for my dressing room" Sharpay said to Ryan "and she hasn't even asked our permission to join the drama club" Ryan responded "Someone's gotta tell her the rules" Sharpay told him "exactly... and what are the rules" Ryan asked "ohh" Sharpay said frustratedly  

Zeke: You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose controlJocks: Everybody gather 'roundZeke: Well if Troy can tell his secret, then I can tell mine... I bake!
Chad: What?
Zeke: I love to bake strudels, scones, and even an apple pandowdy

Then I slipped and a drink spill and my lunch on Sharpay "aah!" Sharpay screams "I am so sorry," I said to her trying to help her when Taylor and Gabby pulled me away 

"you do not want to get into that, man. too much drama" Chad told Troy who walked up "yeah," he told Chad "what is going on here," Miss Darbus asked "look at this that Riley girl just dumped her lunch on me on purpose it's all part of their plan to ruin our musical and Troy and his basketball robots are obviously behind it why do you think he auditioned after all the hard work you've put into this show it just doesn't seem right," Sharpay said to the drama teacher "what's up," Troy asked Chad "what's up oh, let's see... umm, you missed free-period workout yesterday to audition for some heinous musical and now suddenly people are... confessing," Chad told him Zeke walks by and Chad grabs him "yeah, and Zeke. Zeke is baking...creme brulee" Chad told him "ah what's that?" Troy asked Zeke "oh it's a creamy custard-like filling with a caramelized surface it's really satisfying," Zeke told Troy excitedly "shut up Zeke," Chad told him "look... do you see what's happening here, man? our team is coming apart because of your singing thing even the drama geeks and the brainiacs suddenly think that they can... talk to us" Chad told him pointing to the skater dudes who are chatting with Zeke "look, the skater dudes are mingling" chad said "yo" the skater dudes said "suddenly people think that they can do other stuff. stuff that is not their stuff they've got you thinking about show tunes when we've got a playoff game next week" Chad told troy before walking away

Outdoor Eating Area

"is Sharpay really, really mad at me? I said I was sorry" I asked Gabriella and Taylor "look, no one has beaten out Sharpay for a musical since kindergarten" Taylor explained "I wasn't trying to beat anyone out. we didn't even audition, we were just singing" I told her "you won't convince Sharpay of that I'm telling you if that girl could figure out a way to play both Romeo and Juliet her own brother would be aced out of a job," Taylor said, "I told you guys it just happened, but I liked it a lot did you ever feel like there's this whole other person inside of you just looking for a way to come out?" I asked them "not really no," they told me we giggle than the bell rings "let's go," Taylor said  

Sharpay's locker

Sharpay opens her locker to see her outfit as Zeke approaches "hey, Sharpay I thought that since Troy Bolton's gonna be in your show" Zeke said to her "Troy Bolton is not in my show" she said to him holding up her finger "ok umm... well, I just thought maybe you could watch me play ball sometime or something" he asked "I'd rather stick pins in my eyes" she told me "wouldn't that be awfully uncomfortable?" he asked "Evaporate tall person" she told him before storming off "I bake if that helps" he said calling out to her  

I opened my locker to see a note I open it and it reads 

Meet me on the roof ~ Troy 

Science Club Roof

"wow! It's like a jungle up here" I told Troy looking around "yeah just like that cafeteria" Troy told me "where I just humiliated myself into the next century" I told him "no come on" he told me "so this is your private hideout?" I asked him "yeah thanks to the science club which means that my buddies don't even know it exists" he explained "you pretty much have the school wired don't you Troy? seems to me like everyone on campus wants to be your friend" I said to him "unless we lose" he told me "I'm sure it's tricky being the coach's son" I said "makes me practice little harder I guess I don't know what he's gonna say when he finds out about the singing" he told me "you worried?" I asked "my parents' friends are always saying "your son's the basketball guys you must be so proud" sometimes I don't wanna be the "basketball guy" I just wanna be a guy you know?" he told me "I saw the way you treated Kelsi at the audition yesterday do your friends know that guy?" I asked him walking to a bench "to them, I'm the playmaker dude" he told me I sat on the bench "then they don't know enough about you, Troy at my other schools me and Gabby were the freaky math girls it's cool coming here and being anyone I wanna be when I was singing with you I just felt like... a girl" I told him "you even look like one, too" he said to me jokingly as he sat with me I giggled at his joke "do you remember in kindergarten how you'd meet a kid and know nothing about them, then ten seconds later you're playing like you're best friends because you didn't have to be anything but yourself" I told him "yeah" he responded "singing with you felt" I told him "well, um... I never thought about singing that's for sure till you" he told me I blushed "so you really wanna do the callbacks?" I asked him "hey call me freaky callback boy," he said making me giggle "you're a cool guy Troy but not for the reasons your friends think and thanks for showing me your top-secret hiding place like kindergarten," I told him then the bell ringed Troy takes my hand as we head back inside "wait Troy," I told him "what," he said looking at me I kissed his cheek "come on," I said dragging him inside
