Ok, this story just sort of came to me when I was on the trip back from NY. Oh, and I suck at spelling and spellcheck...wordpad doesn't have it...so if there are any errors...be gentle. This chapter isn't really anything...the good stuff comes later. Oh, btw, this is a slash, so if it offends you in anyway, just stop reading now! The story mostly just has Troy, Gabriella, Sharpey, and Ryan. I have no idea where this is going at the moment though... so yah, enjoy.
Sharpay Evans pushed open the doors of the main entrance to her school, East High, and strode inside. Many eyes fell on her; she knew that. She could feel them, and she liked it, the attention that is; even if some of the attention wasn't good.
Not everyone in East High liked Sharpay. She was snobby, bossy, controling, aggitating- do I have to continue? But she wasn't completely hated by the student body; close, but not completely. Things for her had actually improved ever since she started going out with Zeke. The basketball team was forced to be around her, and over time grew used to her and liked her (on some levels). She made new friends and was actually happier. Who knew dating a jock would have such benefits?
And even if she wasn't in the spotlight completely anymore (even though Gabriella and Troy had only stared in one production at East High), she was improving her acting, singing, and dancing buy playing in different parts than she was accustumed to. She was learning new things, like how to improvise.
Yes, it all traced back to Grabriella and Troy. It would seem Sharpay would owe them a big thank you, right? Well, she would, for once, be willing to thank them, but she wasn't exactly sure if she should anymore. See, there have been a few rumors going around. It's been told that even though the two spent the entire summer together; including two weeks at the beach, a weekend at Kings Dominion, and countless evenings at movies and malls; the East High perfect couple had split.
What's worse is that Sharpay had no idea as to why the split occured. Sharpay hated not knowing these kinds of things. It killed her. Slowly, but steadily, it killed her. She needed to know. She just needed to know. No matter what the cost, no matter what strings she had to pull, no matter who she had to interogate, no matter how much snouping she needed to do, she was going to find out. Oh yes, she was going to to find out. And she was going to start today.
"Hey sis."
Sharpay jumped, a little startled at the sound of her brother, Ryan's, voice.
"Uh! Don't sneak up on me like that!" she half shrieked.
Ryan squinted slightly and looked around, a little confused. "But...I didn't come up behind you...I came up in front of you."
"Oh. Right. Well, uh, we should get going; we still need to get our stuff and we don't want to be late for homeroom."
"Ok." And that smile was back. Why was it that her brother always seemed to have that smile on? So clueless, so innocent...like he didn't know anything about being unhappy. Sometimes it was almost, well, scary. But most times, it was just comforting, knowing that there was still something to smile about, be happy about, no matter what it is.
