High School Musical - Next Gen (Complete)

Chapter 5

-SUMMERS POV-

Oh crap. I pretend like I'm looking around. The two stand at the doorway.

"Do you always listen to strangers conversations?" the boy, I think his name is Max, sounded tired, and over it.

"You really should be nicer to your sister" I shrug, still facing the other way "Do you always tell famous peoples kids off?" I spin around, my hair flying around my shoulder.

"Wow, um, sorry" He bites his lip. He's even hotter up close. "Your Bolton's kid right?" Max asks.

"Mhm" I nod "living the dream" I roll my eyes and continue looking around the big walk-in.

"Wow, your super pretty!" Lilly gasps. "Isn't she pretty?" Lilly pulls on Max's skinny jeans a bit.

"So where you from Bolton?" Max says acting all tough. He crosses his arms and leans against the door frame. Lilly skips away.

I chuckle  "Around, yourself?" i ask, I'm not telling this incredibly handsome stranger where I live!

"Same" he says like its no big deal, which it isn't but that's just how he said it. I go towards the door/him to get out. He stops me with his arm.

"How hard is it for a girl to move freely around the world" i stand there, my hands on my hips, tapping my foot.

"See you around?" Max asks, i nod

"Like your lip piercing by the way" I wink and leave once he takes his arm down.

I walk down stairs and sit at the table on the wooden patio out back. Its in the sun and the breeze doesn't get you. "have you met the Hathaway's?" mum asks sitting down next to me

"Max and Lilly? Yeah" I say smiling. "Shes so cute" I scrunch my nose.

"Who Max or Lilly" Mum winks at me. My jaw drops and i smile a bit.

"Mum you cant say that! Your to old to think Max is hot!" I giggle. Theres a bit of silence.

"But you do think he is...." mum says

"Oh yeah totally" I nod and we both laugh.

"OK next house?" Dad comes out and asks.

"But I like this one!" I whine.

"What if you like the next one more?" Dad asks. He always says that but we always end up picking the one I say I like first. I roll my eyes. Things change, don't they?

"Fine!" I throw my hands in the air and get up from the seat.

"Attitude missy" My mum points at me.

"Pointing's rude mum" I blink and smile pleasantly, I walk away.

We get Damien and walk out to the car. "So what do you think about Max" Dad says trying to start conversation. Mum whacks his arm.

"Dad I'm not talking about this to you or better yet around Damien" I say bluntly.

"Well I'm sorry for trying to start conversation" Dad says probably feeling a bit rejected. Serves him right for trying to dig into my love life.

"He has been at East High since year eight and is captain of the Basketball team" Dad says, I smirk at Damien. Damien was big, but his build wasn't meant for Basketball, it was more of a Football body. Max was more skinny and he was taller then Damien.

Thats why the jersy was so familiar, its a captains jersy, Dad still has his.

 "What!" Damiens eyes open. "How am I meant to compete with Max? He is taller and he looks like he is meant for Basketball, maybe I should do football" Damien sinks down in his seat. I smirk out the window.

"You don't need to be captain to get a scholarship. Just be the second best" Dad shrugs. Damien doesn't do second best but he was right, he couldn't compete with someone like Max. Max looked like a suck up as well.

"I guess" Damien mumbles. I feel bad for the kid, wait no i don't.

"Are you going to do cheer?" Mum asks me. You know I cant really be bothered but I guess they will make me, like every other time.

"I guess" I shrug half heartily. I always do cheer. Mum says she always wished she did a sport in high school. I say whatever. But that's pretty much my response to everything.

"Well I'm glad" mum says, shes over excited about everything, remember.

"Yeah I know you are" I mumble.

"What was that?" Mum asked

"Nothing" I say. I don't know why I'm all of a sudden in a bad mood.

We arrive at the second house. It was two story but more of an older house. Orange brick, two garages, a little garden and a wooden veranda. We walk inside and some people greeted us. Me and Damien run upstairs again, me taking the big room, again.

I laugh as I see Damiens happiness drain. He slouches and checks out the other rooms. Why cant he just be a gentleman and give me the big room, instead of fighting and loosing.

My mood goes back up again. Making me laugh is always the best way to pull me out of a mood swing day.

I hear a car pull up again. I check outside and its Kat! I run downstairs and pull her inside. "the best room is this way" i say short on breath. She laughs and runs back upstairs with me. We lie on the bed out of breath.

"The first house we saw was amazing. There was a pool and everything." She says sitting up.

"Oh em gee at our first house, there was this guy, his name was Max and he was" i lower my voice "totally hot, AND I think he might have been into me AND he is the captain of the Basketball team at East High" my voice screeches a bit, I'm not really turning into one of those fan-girls am I! EW!

"No way" Kat looks at me like 'and..'

"He was a bad boy, and I think our parents were talking to each other. I wish that you could see him!" I whine.

"Awwwh! Was he nice, sweet and genuine?" That's the motto me and Kat go by. We hate fake guys. They are such idiots that need to get over themselves.

"Im not sure! He was a sweet talker though" I shrug "But he wasn't over extreme or anything" I say.

"You talked!" Kats jaw dropped. So I explained everything to Kat, about the wardrobe incident. "So you over heard there conversation, got caught listening, but you handled yourself ok?" Kat asked.

I nodded "he knew I was listening but i didn't make it super obvious and he didn't seem to mind once I told him I was a Bolton" I groan a bit a myself. "Oh crap"

"You told him? Oh girl, that was the wrong thing to do" Kat said face palming, but gently, like 'why the heck would you do that'

"Well I didn't exactly tell him, I said 'Do you always tell famous peoples kids off?' and he was like 'oh your Bolton kid right' and now that I think of it he was totally just into me because he wanted to get closer to my dad and" I am almost in tears at this moment.

This is going to get around the school, people are going to start hating on me and Damien again and I'm totally going to have to go to St Dylan's. I'm so stupid!

Kat takes a deep breath. "Its ok. Maybe it will be different at East High, maybe they will like you because you got the school famous?" Kat tried to comfort me. So maybe they will like me, but then guys will only be into me for my dad.

"And the boys? They will only like me for who I'm related to, not me" I sigh.

"School isn't about boys. Focus on cheer and working." Kat says "Its not ideal but its better then St Dylan's"
