Author's Note: Hey! I hope you enjoy this fan fiction, it's my first one. Gabriella and Sharpay is my favorite pairing, so I wanted to write one about them. Please don't read and bash if you don't agree with the pairing. Please review to tell me how you like it, or what you want to see. Thanks for reading!
The one person I honestly wanted to go to prom with more than anybody else, had a date already. It hurt to see her with him, because I longed for her so much. But, I could never tell, not her, not anyone. Her date was Troy Bolton, and let me tell you I don't blame her. That boy is gorgeous. I just wish he didn't exist, because then maybe I could have a shot with her. No, what am I saying? Even if he didn't exist, I could never be with her. I doubt she would feel the same way I do anyway.
So, I am going to this prom without a date. Yes I, Sharpay Evans was dateless. Shocking, I know. I mean I did get asked, believe me. They were really nice guys, but I just don't think any of them were right for me. So I turned them down, all twenty three of them. Oh, but I do like guys! It's just something about her, it just drags me in. So don't think I'm a lesbian or anything. Because I'm not. Maybe Gabrisexual? I guess that's what you could call it.
I didn't even want to go. I couldn't bear to see Gabriella with him in school, so why am I actually going to an out of school event to see more of it? All of my friends had dates, yet they were dragging me along. Even my brother has a date. Her name is Kelsi, and they are absolutely adorable together. They've been together for about a year now. I'm proud to say that I actually hooked them up.
"You ready Shar? The limo is waiting." Ryan interrupted my thoughts as he came down our stairs. He looked very handsome in his black pants, white dress shirt, and black tie. I myself was wearing a blue party dress, it was cute. We walked outside and saw the limo parked by the side of our house. Inside was Kelsi, Chad, Taylor, Troy, and her...Gabriella. God, she looks gorgeous. The school isn't too far away, about a fifteen minute drive. Only fifteen minutes until we got there, and I could stop feeling like a seventh wheel inside this car.
I'm planning on standing against the wall where all the kids stand that don't have dates, only in hopes that our crushes will come ask for a dance. That will never happen with me though, she'll never ask me for a dance.
As the car drives on, I'm starting to get this sick feeling like something was going to go wrong tonight. Something worse than that chili fries incident I had with Gabriella last year. It was horrible. Just think, if your crush accidentally dumped chili fries all down you. I played it off though, because I was supposed to hate her. But, the fact is I love her. I was in denial for the longest time, but now I'm sure of it.
I can't believe I'm actually standing here. Like I said, I'm at that wall. All I see from here is Gabriella dancing with Troy, and all I'm feeling is that wanting feeling again. I get it every time I see her, every time I am close to her. It never goes away, and I'm not sure I want it to. The feeling has gotten stronger since we've gotten past our differences and became friends. We're actually really close now, I could even call her my best friend. I'm not sure she'd call me hers though, she's got Taylor for that. But second best is better than none right? I always think what would happen if I told her. Would it ruin our friendship? I really don't know, and I'm too afraid to find out.
"Hey Sharpay, would you like to dance?" I turned around to see Zeke standing there. He was one of the twenty three I was telling you about. He actually asked me twice. No wait three times. I accepted his invite, and we danced for one song. It was a slow song. I didn't like Zeke the way I liked her, so it was a little weird for me. But, I danced with him anyways. Again, I saw Troy and Gabriella dancing together. All I wanted to do was go over there and ask to cut in, but I held back from doing so.
After mine and Zeke's dance I walked back to the wall. Maybe I should just leave, it's boring the hell out of me anyways. I'll just stay until they announce prom king and queen. Everyone knew it would be Troy and Gabriella, they were everyone's favorite couple. I just wanted to congratulate her and then I'll call for someone to pick me up. I'm sure mom or dad would be happy to.
"Okay everyone! It's time for our prom king and queen announcement!" Perfect timing, Mrs. Darbus, perfect timing.
"I will first announce our king voted by you. The winner is Troy Bolton!" Troy gave Gabriella a quick hug and then ran up to the stage. He accepted his crown and waited on stage for his queen to be announced.
"And now for our queen! After this is announced, our queen and king will have a solo dance in the middle of the floor, spotlights on them! Our queen is Gabriella Montez! Bravo! Brava!" Gabriella walked up to the stage to accept her crown. Did I mention she looked gorgeous? I'm sure I did, but there it is again. Troy and Gabriella walked off stage to the middle of the floor and began their dance. All I could do was watch.
Finally it was over. Could they make slow songs any slower? Geeze.
"Congrats guys!" I gave Troy a quick hug, and then I hugged Gabriella. She gave the best hugs, I really didn't want to let go. I told them I was going to leave now, but I'd meet up with them at my house. We were having an after party! Hip hip hooray. I walked away, back to the wall and took out my cell phone.
"No cell phones are permitted here Ms. Evans!" Oh Mrs. Darbus, you and your cell phone rules! I'll just go to the bathroom where she can't see me or hear that I'm on it. I took one last look at Gabriella and then left.
It was kind of strange that the bathroom lights were off. I mean they were serving punch at the prom, we obviously would have to use it at one point or another during the night. I turned them on and walked on in. I called the house phone and my mother picked up. She told me she would be there in about twenty minutes and she would call when she was here.
I walked out of the bathroom and was stopped short by a cold hand clasping over my mouth from behind. I tried screaming but the sound was muffled. No one would be able to hear me. And then, everything got dark.
Author's Note: Hmmm...who grabbed Sharpay? Only next chapter will tell! Stay tuned :)
