High School Musical - Next Gen (Complete)

Chapter 6

-SUMERS POV-

So we ended up picking the first house, wow that was a suprise. I didnt know weather to be excited or nervous for school, excited that this school isnt as big as my other schools and theres not as many people to find out my secret and nervous because its a new school, who wouldn't be nervous.

So its three weeks into Term 1 and im happy im moving because I got kicked off the cheer team yesterday! The head cheerleader doesnt like me and I messed up once, unlike her who messes up every flipin three seconds, and she kicked me off the team!

My mum was super angry but my dad didnt really care, probably because he knew we were moving.

"That's the last of it" I whispered as I put my laptop on my desk. The only thing I don't like about this house is that every time I walk into my walk-in-wadrobe it remind's me of him.

"I still think I deserve this room" Damien crossed his arms and sat on my bed.

"Well I'm a ladie and I was definantly best dressed out of us two" I strike back.

"Were not! I was very nicely dressed" Damien replied, raising his voice a little.

"Sandals and tracks is being nicely dressed?" I smirk, hashtag winning this conversation.

"Whatever" He rolls his eyes and walks away.

"Looking nice" Mum smiles. I look around.

"Really?" I ask, I'm so...whats the word...in three words: hard to persuade.

"Yes it looks great! Theres just one thing missing" She says

"What" I get scared. WHAT DID I MISS!!

"A smile" Mum says hugging me. I roll my eyes.

"What do you want" I ask mum, a bit rudly but she didn't seem to mind.

"I know you like Max" Mum whispers.

"Yer he's hot, and" I say.

"No. Like, like like like" Mum emphasises. I roll my eyes and giggle a bit.

"Typical mum" i mumble.

"What was that?" She asks

"Just because I think he's hot, doesnt mean I love him" I wave my hands making it seem like a sarcastic big deal. I do but I dont like him, it totally ticks me off that he is probably only into me for my last name but he seems like a sweet guy.

"I know, but I also know when you like someone enough to talk about them to Kat like you did. I overheard your conversation, you really shouldnt speak in such public places about those sorts of things" Mum shrugs.

"Mum" I whine and put my face in my hands. "Why would you listen to a seventeen year olds conversation? With her best friend may I add" I did add, and I could go on for hours about how wrong ears dropping is. Its technically stealing if you think about it!

"But he's so into you as well" She says with a big smile, she moves herself to sit in another position on my bed.

"Mum im not talking about this now. Remember, savour the moment!" I roll my eyes and sit on the comfty cusion chair sitting in the corner, its the only spot that gets direct sun at any moment of the day.

"Sorry" She raises her hands in surrender.

"And he is only into me for my last name. Not me. Not even my looks! He was only into once I asked why he-" mum cuts me off

"If he always picks on famous peoples children. Yeah, remember I ears dropped" Mum says like shes sort of proud, she shouldnt be proud.

"Mum I think it will be hard to find someone that likes me for who I am" I sigh.

"Honey don't be so stupid! You are gorgeous and you have a personality to die for! What are you so worried about?" She asks. It's really sweet of her but to be honest I don't actually want to tell her what I'm worried about.

"I don't really want to tell you but I have no choice do I?" I sigh hanging my head backwards as I bathe in the sunlight.

"Everyone has a choice, but in this case, no you don't" she smiles a bit

"I'm scared that if I go out with anyone, I'll get end up heart broken" you can so tell that I over think about relationships too much. Mum gives me a sympathetic look.

"I had the same thought about your dad. I thought I was too young to fall in love and that the relationship was just going to end in tears" Mum shrugged

"But I'm a year younger than you were" I say "but I'm just saying that, that is my biggest fear" I say

"You'll figure something out. and just remember, if you don't try you will never find out" Mum shrugs and walks out.

"True" I whisper. I decide to call Kat. I grab my phone off my desk. I dial her number that I learnt off by heart.

"Hey Kat" I say cheerfully.

"Hey girl! I NEED to tell you something" she says

"Sure"

"My parents adopted" she says excitedly

"Oh my gosh! When can I see! How old? What gender? Does its eyes twinkle?" I feel bad calling a baby it. I don't even know why.

"His name is Max and he is our age" right then everything stopped and I went a bit dizzy

"Captain of the basketball team Max?" I manage to get out.

"And his sister Lilly?" She says like it would make it any better.

"Can I come over and talk to you for the next four hours please?" I ask

"Sure" I hang up. I grab my hand bag and I grab my car keys.

"I'm going to Kats" I tell to whoever a listening

"Drive safely"

"Love you"

"Who the hell cares" Damien says and I giggle

"Love you too" I say and walk out to my car. I get in and dump my handbag on the passengers seat. I think I sat there for a full on ten minutes, just thinking.

"Sweetie are you okay?" Mum asks opening the car door.

"Did you know that the Danforth's adopted?" I asked

"So you found out, aye?" Mum says. She knew?!?

"I just can't get my head around it" I say frustrated.

"That's why we were talking to them. Max and Lilly knew but just loved fighting over rooms. the people we were talking too were there foster parents." Mum explains.

"That makes more sense" I whisper. The fact that Max and Lilly were fighting over that room made me wonder. I put the key into the ignition and start up the car.

"Drive safely sweetheart" Mum half smiles

"Thanks mum" I smile.

I drive off around the corner and down two blocks. I probably could have walked but I'm lazy so meh.

I pull up in front of their house. it was probably as nice as our house. we both have ugly and beautiful features about our houses but that doesn't matter.

"Gosh what took you so long?!? I thought you were walking because you took so long" Kat embraces me in a hug.

"I can't get my head around it. How long have you known?" I asked and she shrugs.

"A few weeks maybe. I didn't know who we were adopting though, I promise" she explains, I sighed and nodded

"I need to talk to him, where is he?" I ask looking around. she looks cautiously at me but I'm not interested in what she has in mind. "I'm not using you" I say dead serious.

She nods "he's inside, unpacking"

"Thanks" I say and head inside and upstairs. "Max?"
