High School Musical Page #5

l told you it just happened, but l liked it,

A lot,

Did you ever feel like there's

a whole other person inside you

just looking for a way to come out?

Not really, No,

Let's go,

Hey, Sharpay, l thought since Troy Bolton's

gonna be in your show...

Troy Bolton is not in my show,

OK, um... well, l thought maybe

you could watch me play ball sometime,

- l'd rather stick pins in my eyes,

- Wouldn't that be awfully uncomfortable?

Evaporate, tall person!

l bake!

lf that helps,

- Wow! lt's like a jungle up here,

- Yeah, just like that cafeteria,

Well, l just humiliated myself into

the next century,

- No! Come on,

- So this is your private hideout?

Yeah, Thanks to the science club, Which

means my buddies don't know it exists,

You pretty much have the school wired,

don't you, Troy?

Seems to me like everyone on campus

wants to be your friend,

Unless we lose,

Well, l'm sure it's tricky

being the coach's son,

Makes me practice a little harder,

l guess,

l don't know what he'll say

about the singing,

- You worried?

- My parents friends are always saying,

''Your son's the basketball guy,

You must be so proud,''

Sometimes l don't wanna be

the ''basketball guy,''

l just wanna be a guy, You know?

l saw the way you treated Kelsi at

the audition yesterday,

Do your friends know that guy?

To them, l'm the playmaker dude,

They don't know enough

about you, Troy,

At my other schools l was

the freaky math girl,

lt's cool coming here and being...

anyone l wanna be,

When l was singing with you

l just felt like... a girl,

You even look like one, too,

Remember in kindergarten how you'd meet

a kid and know nothing about them,

then ten seconds later you play

like you're best friends

because you didn't have to

be anything but yourself,

- Yeah,

- Singing with you felt like that,

Well, uh... l never thought about singing,

That's for sure,

Till you,

So you really wanna do the callbacks?

Hey, just call me freaky callback boy,

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,

We're soarin', we're flyin'...

Breaking...

Creating space between us...

There's not a star in heaven that we...

Flyin'

There's not a star in heaven that we...

Let's go, guys! Make it sharp!

To the chest, come on! Pop it!

Come on, guys, Step with it!

Let's go!

Come on, move it! Let's go!

Come on, guys, focus! Focus!

Get your head in the game!

Move it!

- You seen Troy?

- No... Coach,

Again, let's go!

That's it, guys, Let's hit the showers,

Good hustle, Let's see that in the game,

l, uh... think l'm gonna stay a while,

Work on some free throws,

Since you missed practice, l think your

team deserves a little effort from you today,

Wow, So this is your real stage,

Yeah, l guess you could call it that,

Or just a smelly gym,

Whoa!

Don't tell me you're good at hoops, too,

You know, l once scored 41 points

at a league championship game,

- No way,

- Mm-hm, And the same day,

l invented the space shuttle

and microwave popcorn,

Oh! Microwave popcorn, Ha-ha, Funny,

- l've been rehearsing with Kelsi,

- Me, too, And, by the way,

l missed practice, So if l get kicked off

the team it'll be on your conscience,

- Hey, l wasn't the one who told you...

- Gabriella, chill,

Hey, that's traveling,

No, that's really bad traveling,

Miss! l'm sorry, this is a closed practice,

- Dad, practice is over,

- Not till the last player leaves,

- Team rule,

- Oh, l'm sorry, sir,

- Dad, this is Gabriella Montez,

- Ah, your detention buddy,

l'll see you later, Troy,

Nice meeting you, Coach Bolton,

You as well, Miss Montez,

Dad, detention was my fault,

not hers,

You haven't missed practice in three years,

That girl shows up...

That girl is named Gabriella,

She's very nice,

Helping you miss practice doesn't

make her very nice, Not in my book,

- Or your team's,

- Dad, she's not a problem,

- She's just a girl,

- But you're not just a guy, Troy,

You're the team leader,

What you do effects not only this team,

but the entire school,

And without you completely focused,

we're not gonna win next week,

The championship games -

they don't come along all the time,

- They're something special,

- Yeah, a lot of things are special, Dad,

But you're a playmaker...

not a singer, right?

Did you ever think maybe l could be both?

- What?

- Let's go,

What spell has this elevated-lQ

temptress girl cast

that suddenly makes you wanna be

in musical?

Look, l just did it, Who cares?

Who cares? How about your most

loyal best friend?

- Quiet in here, Mr, Danforth,

- lt's him, Miss Falsaff, not me,

Look, you're a hoops dude,

not a musical singer person,

Have you ever seen Michael Crawford

on a cereal box?

- Who's Michael Crawford?

- Exactly my point,

He was the Phantom of the Opera

on Broadway,

Now my mom, she's seen

that musical 27 times,

and put Michael Crawford's picture

in our refrigerator,

Yeah, not on it, in it,

So my point is, if you play basketball,

you're gonna end up on the cereal box,

lf you're in musicals, you'll

end up in my mom's refrigerator,

Why in her refrigerator?

One of her crazy diet ideas, l won't

attempt to understand the female mind,

lt's foreign territory,

How can you expect the rest of us to be

focused on a game if you're off somewhere

in leotards singing ''Twinkle Town''?

No one said anything about leotards,

Not yet, my friend, but just you wait,

Look, we need you, Captain,

Big time,

- Mr, Danforth,

- l tried to tell him, Miss Falsaff,

Really tried,

Something isn't right,

- Hey, look, We need to talk,

- Go,

They must be trying to figure out a way to

make sure Troy and Gabriella beat us out,

The jocks rule most of the school,

but if they get Troy into a musical,

then they've conquered

the entire student body,

And if those science girls get Gabriella

hooked up with Troy Bolton,

the scholastic club goes from drool to cool,

Ryan, we need to save our show from

people who don't know the difference

between a Tony Award and Tony Hawk,

Do you think that'll work?

lt's the only way to save Troy and Gabriella

from themselves,

- So we on?

- Yeah,

- Good, So we start tomorrow then,

- OK, the first thing,

- Nice, Let's go,

- Cool,

So, my watch is 7:45 Mountain Standard

time, We synched?

- Whatever,

- Then we're on go mode for lunch, 12:05,

Yes, Chad, we're a go,

But we're not Charlie's Angels, OK?

l can dream, can't l?

''Spider'' Bill Netrine,

class of '72,

He was the MVP in the league

championship game,

Sam Nedler, class of '02,

Also known as ''Sammy Slamma Jamma,''

Captain, MVP of the league

championship team,

The ''Thunder Clap,'' Hap Hadden, '95,

Led the Wildcats to

back-to-back city championships,

- A legend,

- Yes, Legends, one and all,

But do you think that any of these Wildcat

legends became legends

by getting involved in musical auditions

days before the league championships?
