We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
"Would you like to dance Sharpay?" He said extending a hand to her; Sharpay accepted his offer and slowly got up with him giving her a slight pull.
Sharpay gave him a slight smile as they moved leisurely to the middle of the dance floor; they stopped and joined the other couples.
He looped two arms around her waist and rested them on the small of her back, she placed her arms around his neck and they danced on the spot.
It was a dance between two good friends, no romantic attachments involved at all.
Sharpay Evans and Troy Bolton were only good friends, you could see the chemistry and sparks but they insisted they were good friends, only good friends.

So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
I watched jealously as you danced with her. We were good friends, best friends until she came.
I knew it the moment you came back from vacation, you knocked on my door and I opened it ready to go out with you for lunch.
We sat down at the table and you started to explain your vacation, there was a sparkle in your eyes, I could notice it; everyone could notice it.
"Shar you should have seen her, she was gorgeous, I wanted to kiss her but I couldn't, you know? I only had met her once."
"Did you get her name?"
He pulled his phone out and chuckled, "I got more than that Sharpay. I got her number too; I'll show you a picture."
I had to admit it too; she looked gorgeous, snow in her brown curls and a smile that lit up the room.
-----------------------------------------------
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I didn't want to do this to Sharpay, she had been one of my best friends since Year 7, and we had a lot in common.
I was the rising star in basketball; she was the rising star in the theatre. I was popular, she was popular, she knew the benefits and disadvantages as well I did.
I had to tell her, things changed over the vacation, I couldn't keep being friends with her, I couldn't keep being friends with any girl.
"They will distract you Troy! You need to keep focused for the championship, scouts will be at this game and you need to be at your best! I'm not saying this only as your coach but as your father too."
I nodded reluctantly as he clapped me on the back and said "Tell her nicely at lunch. Alright?"

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
He tried to tell me over the loud music of the restaurant, I wanted to run away and go back into the seclusion of my room.
I was an actress, it was what I did best, morph into a new character, so I became the happy Sharpay; the understanding Sharpay.
I put my hand over his and nodded at him, I put my mouth into a small frown, "I understand Troy, we will act civil but we won't be friends."
Our meal arrived and we ate in silence, each caught up in our thoughts. We split the bill in half and left slowly, I looked all around trying to take in everything, the smell, the touch, the sight and the sounds.
This was the end, the end of us, the end of our friendship.
We walked to the corner of my street in silence.
I gave him a polite hug, trying not to cry, I would see him everyday but it would never be the same, I would always be the ex friend.
He let go slowly and gave me a kiss on the cheek and whispered "Goodbye."

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
I had to accept it; I couldn't be a girl in his life. Once they got together he would be pulled away from me, he would want to spend time with her.
I just had to tolerate it, no fights, no resentments and no questions.
But my mind kept playing back to that dance in 8th grade.
His arms around my waist, my arms around his neck as we moved slowly to the beat.
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
My first Troypay!
