I FRIGGIN LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! Thank you for those who reviewed, favorited, and all that other stuff. So I present you, the next chapter!

Austin's POV

I was waiting anxiously in science class for the bell to ring so I could go to drama already. The list is supposed to be up today! But I am also annoyed. Ryder and Dez keep asking me why am I'm freaking out so much. I am so not freaking out, right?

DING DING DONG!

As soon as I heard that bell, I was out like a light. I started running to drama class, but got stuck in the traffic jam of students. I never realized that drama class was so far from science, at the end of the hallway, since I usually just walked there with Ryder and Dez. Once I got there, there was nobody in the room except for Ally. I smiled. Me. And Ally. Together. Alone. I popped my collar and did my signature swooning hair flip and walked over to her.

"Hey Ally." I said. "Watcha doing?" I asked. She looked up and smiled at me. A genuine smile.

"Hey Austin." she greeted me like we were buddies. "I was just about to look at the cast list Mrs. Salcastio posted up before all the students piled in. Come here." she waved at me so we looked at the casting list.

High School Musical Productions

Kelsi Neilsen: Amy Molly Moon

Ms. Darbus: Mrs. Salcastio

Chad Danforth: Ryder Sylvester Tersane

Taylor McKessie: Patricia De La Rosa

Ryan Evans: Dezmond Worthy

Sharpay Evans: Cassidy Miguel Dawson

Gabriella Montez: Allyson Marie Dawson Understudy: Tilly Morris Thompson

Troy Bolton: Dallas Centineo Understudy:Austin Monica Moon

My eyes widened. Me? ME?! Understudy? I did way better than Dallas anyway! I groaned, and didn't care as Ally looked at me confused. I chose a seat which happens to be front and center of our teacher's desk. I saw a poem written in scrawny handwriting, an apple, and a white rose. I rolled my eyes.

"He bribed our teacher." I thought. Well, she does have her blonde moments. Then Ally took a seat next to me on the left as the students piled in. But as Amy walked in and was about to sit down on my right, she saw who she was sitting next to, and went to the back of the class. Ally got up and went to her before anyone else sat next to Amy. Cassidy and Trish went with her too. Well, at least I got my friends to keep me company.

"Hey dude. I heard what happened with your sister, do you know how to make it up to her?" Ryder asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know dude I just know that it has to be really special." I sighed. "Cause she's my little sister. She means a lot to me." Then our teacher came in.

"Good morning class. Now if you remember from yesterday, our casting list has now been posted." she said. Tilly was the first one up and ran, well, stumbled, in her heels to the board. After a few seconds, seh turned around with a face so horrifying you could have mistaken her for the devil's daughter.

"WHAT?!" she screeched. "I am the UNDERSTUDY?! I did way better than that old fart!" she said glaring at Ally. Ally just smirked.

"Well, you did sing like a harpy, so you really can't blame Mrs. Salcastio." Ally said. I snickered. Tilly turned to me.

"Austy! Help me! You know I did way better than that witch! I'm the prettiest girl in school, so you know I'm better than everyone at everything!" Tilly whined. I rolled my eyes at her scene.

"But, since my Austy is the understudy for Troy and didn't get the part, I'm fine with being the understudy fo Gabriella." she smiled calmly. Then her face scrunched up. "Ugh! I can't believe she got the part! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!" (1)

"Actually Tilly. You should have tried out for the part of Sharpay. You both have a lot in common. You both are stubborn, spoiled, stupid, a diva, and you both are blondes! You also did a way better drama performance right there than Cassidy at the auditions!" Trish smirked. The class laughed at that. Than Tilly scrunched up her face.

"Well, even if I did try our for Sharpay, I she would still get the lead female role because I always have it my way!" Then she started kicking and punching things in her way until Ryder and I dragged her out into the hallways and locked the door. Then everyone stared at the teacher and everything went on as if Tilly never did anything and acted as if she wasn't there.

"Well, as you all know, most of you got the parts, and some of you did not. For those of you who did not, you will be working the sounds and lights, or working on the props. So, Dallas, Ally, Trish, Dez, Amy, Ryder, and Cassidy, come up and get your scripts. Your lines will be highlighted in a different color." Dallas got yellow, Ally got red, Trish got green, Dez got blue, Amy got purple, Ryder got orange, and Cassidy got pink.

"Alright! The rest of you can do what you want for free period, but I need the cast students to come to the auditorium to start rehearsing things." she said.

DING DING DONG!

I walked down to the library to do nothing. What were you supposed to do in a library anyway? All I see are those things you use with your eyes...what are they called again? Oh yeah! Books. Yay. Notice how enthusiastic about them? No. They are boring and geeky. I'd only use them for homework. What? Just cause I am the most popular guy in school, doesn't mean I'm a striaght A student.

Ally's POV

Cassidy, Ryder, Trish, Amy, Dez, Dallas and I were in the auditorium, since we all had free period together, and Mrs. Salcastio called us here for rehearsals.

"Alrighty kids! We will start by rehearsing the first two or three songs this week. Okay? We will start with the first number, Start Of Something New. (2) Dallas, Ally, when you are singing, make sure you put the emotions from the movie, into your souls. Gabriella was shy about it at first, so Ally, you will have to be the shy girl no one knew about. Troy was nervous and embarrassed about having to sing at first, but then later became attracted to singing into the music. So Dallas, make sure you have the same embarrassment emotion." she said.

Then the music started playing and Dallas sang his part. Not to be mean, but he did way better at his auditions. Now he's very pitchy. Mrs. Salcastio seemed to think so too, cause she started wincing a lot. Then I sang my part, and once we got into the song more, I started getting used to his scratchy voice. And we started circling each other and moving around, and it was really fun!

When we started circling each other, we would always have staring contests. Then, as we went for another one as we started in the chorus, he fell off the stage. I gasped as everyone circled him.

"Dallas! Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. He gave me a weak but strong smile.

"I'm okay Ally." Then he tried to get up, but gave out wincing and groaning.

"I'm gonna get you to a hospital. Okay sweetie?" Mrs. Salcastio said. Then she had Dez carry him outside to her car. I trusted her a lot. She was only in her mid twenties, so of course she would understand things. Thats why she's my favorite teacher, ever! Of course I still love Ms. Suzy, (3) but she treats everyone like a kindergartener and still gives out star-shaped stickers. So, I needed a teacher that will actually understand me. I sighed.

"Cass, now what do you we do if we don't have someone to play Troy?" I asked my sister. She suddenly looked really nervous.

"Well, the part for Troy does have an understudy." she said. Then she ran out of the room. I wonder why. Then it clicked.

"Austin Monica Moon" I spat out. I marched angrily everywhere for the rest of the day.

Austin's POV

I was woken up at two in the morning by my phone.

"Hello?" I said groggily into the phone as I tried to rub the sleep out of my eyes.

"Austin Moon?" a familiar voice called. Then it hit me.

"Mrs. Salcastio?" I said. I could just feel her head nodding.

"Yep. I called to tell that Dallas had an accident and will be put in the hospital for a while. Lets just say he fell off a four foot stage face first on a slippery floor into a pile of chairs. So since you are the understudy, you will play the part of Troy." then she hung up. I smiled. Me? Playing the part of Troy? And Ally is Gabriella! Which means that we will be the High School Musical couple! Unless, Tilly ends up breaking Ally and replacing Ally with herself. Ew. I fell asleep happy that I have something to look forward to tomorrow.

Okay! I hope you enjoyed that! Now time for the number thingamajigs!

(1) If you have seen Bloggers and Butterflies, then you will remember Tilly does this all the time when she's aggravated.

(2) Start Of Something New, is the first musical number in the movie which has Troy and Gabriella sing together for the first time.

(3) If you watched Soups and Stars, then you will know that Ms. Suzy was Ally's third grade music teacher. She inspired Ally to start songwriting and inspired Trish to start napping in class.
