High School Musical

Hi, I'm Taylor McKessie. You must be new.

Gabriella Montez. Hi.

Did you do anything fun over the winter break?

Oh, you know… my mom took me on a ski trip. All I did was read.

With all those kids on the slopes? That’s crazy!

Well, actually, I did meet a boy.

See? So make with the newsflash, sister!

They threw a New Year’s Eve karaoke contest for the kids!

After detention give out, Troy waits for Gabriella by the audition sign ups.

I don't -

- believe it

Me -

-either. But how-

Why are you whispering?

Oh, well... my friends know I went snowboarding, but I didn't tell them about the singing thing.

Pretty incredible, right, meeting up again like this?

Hey… now that you’ve met Darbus the Destroyer, I’ll bet you can’t wait to sign up for the show.

(laughs) I won’t be signing up for anything here for a while. But if you signed up, I’d consider coming to the show.

Oh… were you going to sign up, too?

No, no. I was just looking over the bulletin board. Lots going on at this school. Nice penmanship.

Troy doesn't usually interact with new students.

Why not?

It's pretty much basketball 24/7 with him.

Uh-huh. Ms. Tenny?

Yes, Gabriella?

Oh... I'm sorry... I was just - I mean, I think it should be 10 to the negative 18th power, that's all.

You're a genius.

Please, it's just an equation.

Ryan, it's me. I need you to do something right now...

I thought Ms. Darbus took your phone.

Look, our Science Decathlon team has a big regional match on Friday. We've never won it before, but with you on our side, we might stand a chance.

Thanks, but I just want to get acclimated to the new school and all.

Well... promise you'll think about it?

Promise.

I’m so glad you changed your mind about the Science Decathlon.

Where did those come from?

Didn’t you slip them in my locker?

Of course not.

We’ve never ever won the Science Decathlon. You could be our answered prayer.

Well… okay, I guess I can do it.

Yay!

Okay, so like what do you know about Troy Bolton?

Nice talking to you. Love the glasses.

Hey! You decided to sign up?

Huh? No way.

You’re not afraid, are you?
