It was raining on a sad Wednesday afternoon. Ryan was playing Gears of War on his X-Box 360, and I was eating a beagle while my mom was out with her so-called therapist. The doorbell rang, I screamed at the maid so she would answer the door but apparently she was playing deaf because she wouldn't go answer.
I had to go interrupt my lunch and go answer the door. They were two men in black suit. The asked for my father, once again I had to lie telling them he wasn't home. They gave me a card and letter, then they told me that when my father got home he had to call them, it was important.
I walked to the study that's where my dad was. I was very curious about what those men wanted and why my dad asked me to lie about him not being there. I gave daddy the letter and the card and then asked him if he was in some sort of trouble, he said he wasn't but his face said he was.
A week had passed. Summer had just begun. I went down stairs to the dinning table but there was absolutely no one eating. I looked around and spotted my mom crying and Ryan was next to her. I went over to see what was happening and my mom reached out her hand to hold mine. I glanced at my brother he was very worried. I projected no voice but my lips moved asking Ryan if he knew what were going on but he shock his head saying no.
"Kids, your dad won't be with us anymore, now that he's in jail," my mom said and then she shed in tears.
Ryan and I looked at each other shocked. I stepped away from mom a bit.
"But why?" Ryan asked mom, he still couldn't understand. And that's when it all hit me, those men looking for my dad were people looking for him to send him to jail.
Mom started explaining to us that dad had stolen some money, a big amount of money actually and that people found out and he went to jail for it. She also told us that now we were flat broke. I couldn't accept that. I ran towards the front door and slammed it on my way out. I didn't know were I was headed to, plus I couldn't see a thing, it was very dark outside and to make thing worst, it was raining.
I was soaking wet but still ran as far away from home as I could. I got tired at some point and stopped running, so I started... walking. I headed towards the park, and sat on a fountain. It was all very dark and lonely. I looked at my reflection in the water and then a teardrop fell. I just could accept it, my dads in jail and were flat broke!
Suddenly I feel a warm hand on my shoulder. I got really scared it was late and I was alone in that park. I looked back to see who it was. It was Troy the guy I hated. I hid my face and wiped out my tears.
"Sharpay are you alright?" Troy asked in a worried tone.
"Pfft. I'm perfectly fine, why do you ask?" I told him hiding my feeling inside.
"Well first your out here all alone, late at night, soaking wet, and you were crying" he answered me making his point.
"Well Tray if you think threes something wrong with me you might as well think whatever you want. I am perfectly fine." I told him with a very serious face.
"Jesus, Sharpay why are you such a cold hearted bitch! I mean like really." Troy then went away. I stayed at the fountain for 20 more minutes.
