High School Telegram!

Summary:

We know what happened in the movies. But how would this change if it was set in 2016? How would things be different if everyone was in the same group chat? Follow the cast of High School Musical as they, well, do nothing except text each other. But we get to see how the HSM franchise changes! Kinda! ?
