High School Musical - Next Gen (Complete)

Chapter 2

-SUMMERS POV-

I walk out to the Car Park and see my parents waiting in the car with Damien. Damien looks annoyed which is usual but mum and dad look excited.

"Hey you guys. Why'd you pull me out of school?" I ask. Damien rolls his eyes

"We are going house hunting in Albuquerque, New Mexico!" Mum says excitedly. Im glad we are moving. Anywhere will be better then this.

"Albuquerque. Albuquerque. Albuquerque." I whisper the fimiliar name over and over. "Hey mum why does this place sound so fimiliar?" I ask. By this time we are already driving.

"Would me saying New Years Eve 1998 tell you anything. Even though we werent in Albuquerque at the time." Mum rambles. I facepalm myself. Of course! After how many times mum has gone on about her 'amazing movie like love story' I should know that name off by heart.

"Oh yeah" I say and duh myself. "And what school will we be going to?" I ask rolling my eyes. I better not be going to a school for gifted children again. All the dorks were hitting on me. It was gross!

"East High" Dad smiles and blushes a bit. Of course we are going to the school they went to. I wonder if grandpa and grandma is still living in Albuquerque.

"Yay us!" Damien sarcastically says. "Is there a basketball team?" Damien asks. What an idiot.

"I would think so seeming its the basketball team that got me where I am today" Dad raises an eyebrown, probably suprised that Damien is so stupid.

"Oh" Damien says and then looks back out the window. I think he just realised how dumb his question was because he smiled and shook his head.

After four hours of driving we finally get to Albuquerque. Its a nice small town with smiling people and people riding bikes and going for jogs.

"Ok two questions. Why such late notice and does grandma and grandpa still live here? We havent seen them for ages." I crease my eyebrows. I really miss them.

"Well to answer your first question. Me and your mother have known for ages but we didnt want to worry you. Thats why i went to work early this morning" Dad smiles

"And to answer your second question. Yes, thats where we are going now" mum answers. Morning tea at the Grandparents!

Oh and the boys are probaby going to play, watch and talk about basketball the whole time. Great!

We pull up at a brick house, it has rotted wood that looks like it has been painted over a couple of times and needs another coat, theres nice green grass that spreads along the gound, flower pots on the verander and an old rustic looking metal door.

"Is there a hoop out back?" Damien is already asking. I roll my eyes and get out. I smile as I see Grandpa walk out the door and towards us. Hes not as old as I remember him. Haha i feel like making a smart ass comment, 'getting better by age i see' haha i wish, im more respectful then that!

"Summer! My favourite granddaughter" he hugs me tight.

"Grandpa im your only Granddaughter" I giggle and exit the hug.

And of course being a tennage girl in this century, I check for wifi. Everyone is guilty of this, dont deny it.

 I help, pale looking, mum out of the car. "Thanks sweetie" She says softly with a half smile.

"Mum are you ok" I ask worried.

"Yeah, yeah. Just not feeling so good. Probably just the long drive" she shrugs.

"Hey dad" dad hugs Grandpa.

"Still in good shape i see" grandpa winks at dad.

"Jack. Would you be able to show me to your bathroom" mum says "Im not feeling to good"

"Yeah sure right this way" grandpa says gesturing towards the house. Poor mum.

Dad passes me the cookies mum made yesterday, I was wondering why she made those cookies, and we walk inside. It smelt really good.

"Mum it smells fantastic in here" dad exclaims and goes and kisses grandma on the cheek.

"Good to see you honey" Grandma hugs dad. Grandpa comes out and we hear mum vomit. I hope she will be ok for house hunting.

"Ill go check on her" dad half smiles and jogs off to mum.

"Guess who else is coming" grandma smiles and checks on the oven.

"Who" I smile and sit at the breakfast bar. Apparently, according to dad, nothing has changed except for his room since he left for University.

Dad said he was going to go to Berkly University for basketball and acting but soon he realised that Basketball was the way to go after being at Berkly for a month and he felt too different and he didnt like the basketball system at Berkly. So then he went to the University of Albuquerque and now in the NBA with Chad.

"The Danforths" Grandma smiles at me and Damien. I look at Damien with a big smile and he looks at me the same.

The Danforths are awesome but they recently went on a three month cruise with their grandparents and without Chad. So we havent seen them in ages.

We call them aunty and uncle and whenever I tell stories I always relate to Kat as my cousin. We are the same age but Luke is a year younger but Damien doesnt mind. Did I mention that me and Damien are twins. I dont think I did, woops.

"YES" I throw my hands in the air.

"So what have you guys been up to?" Grandpa asks sitting on the stool next to me. He really is in good shape for a man of his age.

"Oh nothing. School sucks so I cant wait to move to East High" I shrug

"Yeah, and I cant wait to be captian of the Basketball team. When did you stop coaching Grandpa?" Damien says putting his phone down.

"Ten long years ago. Ten years after your father graduated" Grandpa says.

"Wow your old" Damien says but then covers his mouth "Sorry that wasnt meant to come out"

I giggle "We're working on that" I shake my head smiling.

"Wanna shoot some hoops out back" Grandpa smiles. I roll my eyes and so does grandma.

"The struggles real" I nod propping my head up on my hands and resting my elbows on the bench.

"Sure is darling" grandma giggles. I hear a car pull up in front of the house. Mum and Dad come out from the bathroom.

"You ok?" I ask giving her a sympathy smile. She nods

"Im all good now" She breathes out. I catch dad taking is hand off mums tummy, wieird.

"Knock, knock, knock" A fimiliar female voice says and enters.

"Aunty Taylor, or should I say President Danforth" I hug her and she giggles.

"Good to see you Summer" she hugs back. I release from the hug and look at the car they came in. Its a black hummer with American flags on each corner of the car, front and back. Two body guards stand at the door.

I see a brown girl with long dark brown hair come out from the car "KAT!" I scream and run up to her.
