I don't own anything you probably recognize. Except the ring, I do own that.
Sharpay Evans had never liked Valentine 's Day. She seemed like the type of person to absolutely love it, but that wasn't the case. Very few people actually knew this fact, Ryan of course, being one of them.
Sharpay had many reasons for not liking the holiday.
Reason number one: Too many hearts. Sharpay Evans was NOT a heart person. She even replaced her a's with stars when she wrote. She didn't understand why hearts pretty much got their own holiday and stars didn't. Seriously, what do hearts have that stars don't? Some people say that the fourth of July was just for stars. Apparently those people didn't pass their American History. Life isn't fair. The fact that she didn't have Troy Bolton proved that point. At least she had learned to accept that fact plus, she had to admit that Gabriella and Troy were extremely cute together.
Reason number two: Why did you have to celebrate your love for a person on only one day of the year? Why couldn't you celebrate it everyday? A extremely strange concept coming from Sharpay Evans, but she really did wonder that.
Reason number three: It's a Catholic holiday. Why would you celebrate a Catholic holiday if you aren't Catholic? Almost every person that celebrates the holiday is not Catholic! Go figure.
Reason number four: She wouldn't admit it to herself, but she also didn't like the holiday because she never got a present from a guy that liked her. Sure Ryan gave her a gift, but they're siblings. That doesn't count.
Reason number five: Why would you want a holiday that leaves out all the single people? That's just cruel and unusual punishment! Sure Sharpay thought most of the people should be left out because they weren't pretty enough, but she was definitely pretty enough. Most definitely pretty enough. Heck she is beautiful and gorgeous. She deserves a boyfriend. Who wouldn't want to go out with her? But no, same thing each year, only a gift from Ryan and a five dollar check from grandma. Woo hoo.
Reason number six: The greeting card companies take way too much advantage of those in love on this day. There are just so many huge stuffed animals holding a heart you can give your loved one and there are only so many roses one can get before hating them.
Reason number seven: The holiday is outlawed in some Muslim countries….why couldn't it be outlawed in the Untied States? New Mexico? Maybe just Albuquerque?
Reason number eight: Depressing love songs make most of the best love songs. Seriously….think about it. You can't get much better than Band of Gold, S.O.S., Breaking Up is Hard to Do, Achy Breaky Heart, This Love, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Bye Bye Bye, It's My Party, Potential Breakup Song, I Heard it Through the Grapevine, Stop in the Name of Love, Goodbye Earl, Help Me Rhonda, or Big Girls Don't Cry, right?
Reason number nine: If you're single and really miss your ex, what are you going to be thinking about on Valentine's Day? How horrible it is that the guy you love is out there at the most expensive restaurant in town with his new ugly girlfriend that he cheated on you with? Sounds like the most awesome day of the year for sure now.
Reason number ten: Poetry is SO nineteenth century. Why read poetry or have it recited to you when there is a perfectly good iPod next to you in your $150 Dooney and Burke purse with infinitely better 'poetry ' put to music? Who doesn't like music? Raise of hands?
Sharpay walked into East High on February first, for the first time since last February not wearing any pink. Once February hit, she refused to wear pink. It made her depressed to think that the majority of the world actually celebrated the holiday.
She grimaced as she got to her extremely pink locker. She opened it and started to put a few things in it, but she stopped when she noticed that there was a small box wrapped in blue paper.
"Ryan! Did you put this in here?" She demanded as he was also taking things out of his locker.
"Nope." He replied looking at it too. "Open it up and find out what it is."
"Good morning Sharpay." Zeke said as he passed by Sharpay's locker on his way to his own.
She didn't even notice, too engrossed in her mystery box.
She gasped as she opened it and found a wide band, silver ring, with blue stars on it.
"Ooh, bull's eye! It screams 'Sharpay.'" Ryan said as she handed him the box, while she examined the ring. She put it on, happy that it fit.
"I love it!" She said clapping once she got it on.
" Someone's got a secret admirer! " Ryan said reading a small note he found in the box.
"Give me that!" Sharpay responded snatching it away from him.
Dear Ms. Evans
Happy February 1st. I've noticed that you don't like hearts, so I got you a ring with stars on it instead. Stay tuned, there's more to come! I promise by the time I'm done you won't dislike February 14th anymore.
-Your Secret Admirer
"Hmm…" Sharpay said not quite sure what to think about it.
Anti-Valentines day until offered gifts. I consider reviews gifts. They're much less fattening than chocolate I plan on buying on the 15th at the day after sales. If you like this Valentines Day story so far, I highly suggest you go read my other one Pink Hearts or Blue Stars (it's along the same lines as this one). It's Harry Potter though, not HSM. I plan on at least one more chapter for this story fyi. Thanks for reading!
