Side #4- GABRIELLA/TAYLOR/SHARPAY
(TAYLOR moves next to GABRIELLA. SHARPAY takes out her spare phone, dials and whispers into it.)
TAYLOR
You’re a genius.
GABRIELLA
Please, it’s just an equation.
SHARPAY
(privately, into her spare phone)
Ryan, it’s me. I need you to do something right now…
GABRIELLA
I thought Ms. Darbus took your cell phone.
SHARPAY
What? We always carry an extra, in case our agent calls.
TAYLOR
(to GABRIELLA)
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.
GABRIELLA
Thanks, but I just want to get acclimated to the new school and all.
TAYLOR
Well… promise you’ll think about it?
GABRIELLA
Promise.
