Olivia POV:

The next day arrived faster than I thought and my alarm woke me up. I groaned and crawled out of bed. All my muscles were sore because I didn't only play basketball in school but after school Jack, Troy and I played again. I took a cold shower in hope to wake up a little and got dressed.

(Her outfit)

I met Troy on the way downstairs and he clearly looked more awake than I did. "Good Morning sunshine" he laughed as he saw me. "Hahaha" I fake laughed. We ate our breakfast and than got on the bus. When we arrived we met Chad and we made our way to the classroom. I couldn't help but took a few secret glances in the boy's direction. "So I was right when I said that another Bolton means another basketball player." Chad announced and we all laughed. "Seems so." Troy answered. In the classroom I sat down at my desks which was practically next to Chad what somehow made me happy for no reason. Troy just stood there for a minute and I saw him looking at Gabriella with a grin. "Well, I expect we all learned our homeroom manners yesterday, people, correct?" Ms. Darbus looked at Troy who sat down immediately. "If not, we have some dressing rooms that need painting. Now a few announcements." Ms. Darbus continued but I was too distracted because of Troy and Gabriella who couldn't stop looking at each other. It was somehow pretty cute... "This morning during free period will be your chance for the musicale auditions, both singles and pairs." Sharpay let out a high pitched sound and clapped in her hands looking at Ryan. "I will be in the theater until noon. For those of you bold enough I extend the wingspan of your creative spirit." The teacher continued talking and talking and I would have fallen asleep if there hadn't been the bell. I got out of the room and went to my locker which wasn't that far away from Troy's locker. Since he was a bit off today I decided to watch him a little and right when he closed his locker and wanted to go somewhere Chad came. "Yo, what's up, man?" he asked, of course with his basketball under his arm. "Hey, what's up?" Troy said. They started to walk together. "Hey. So look, the whole team's hitting the gym during free period." He looked around a little and spotted me a few feet away from him. "You should come, too!" he stated. I joined them and Chad continued talking. "What do you want to have us run?" he asked Troy. "Dude, you know what? I can't make it. I gotta go catch up on some homework." Troy answered hesitant. "What?" Chad and I both asked in disbelief. "Hello it's only the second day back. I'm not even behind on homework yet. And, you know. I've been behind on homework since preschool." Chad pointed out and I giggled. Troy let out a forced laugh. "That's hilarious! I'll catch you later." he took off and leaved us standing there confused. That's when I remembered. During free period were the musicale auditions! Back on New Year's Eve I had the feeling that Troy really enjoyed the singing. "Homework? There's no way." Chad said and followed Troy. I quickly followed Chad and tried to find an excuse. Meanwhile Troy entered a random room. "What is he doing?" Chad asked confused. Chad got distracted by a dude who greeted him and Troy quickly made his way out. Chad was about to follow him as I had to come up with something. I was about to say something dumb like ‚cool t-shirt' or ‚why do you always carry this ball with you' as Ryan and Sharpay saved me...well kind of. 

Chad's POV:

I really wanted to know what Troy was doing but Olivia and I were stopped by Ryan and Sharpay. "Hey!" Sharpay's high pitched voice made us jump. "So, you must be Troy's cousin." She looked at Olivia who's face expression practically screamed for help. "Umm, yes, that would be me." She answered hesitant. Sharpay grabbed Olivia's arm and was just about to ask Olivia a thousand questions about Troy as Ryan saved her. "Umm, Sharpay...I think we should make our way to the auditions." he said. Sharpay sighed and let go of the brunette. "Toodles." she said with a smile but didn't move. "Toodles?" Olivia answered confused. Ryan looked back and Olivia mouthed him the words 'thank you'. Immediately I felt a sting in my stomach. "Let's go to basketball practice." I said as I suddenly lost every motivation to find out what Troy was hiding. Confused Olivia followed me to the gym.
