Mutual Feelings
Their relationship could only be described with one word: complicated. Conversations consisted of arguments over trivial things. To those viewing their fights for the first time, it would seem the pair were nothing more than lovers in the middle of quarrel, what with the intimacy with each step, the tension that radiated from their bodies and the deadly closeness.
To their friends and to those accustomed to the arguments, the pair were definite rivals. Rivals for what? No one was really sure. Some liked to assume that the blonde, Sharpay, had hidden feelings for Chad's current girlfriend, Taylor McKessie. While others assumed Chad harbored secret feelings for the star basketball player of East High, the very person Sharpay had often shown public attraction too. After all, who could forget the vicious rivalry the drama queen and Einsteinette took part in for the hunk of East High?
However, whatever the reasoning for Chad Danforth and Sharpay Evans' constant bickering, one assumption was favored over the others, not to mention popular amongst their friends: the possibility of a secret relationship.
In the eyes of their peers, it was all sexual tension that would reach a peak and never get released. Taylor feared the day she would possibly lose her boyfriend to the ice princess of East High. She wasn't blind; there was something between the two, even though it seemed the duo ignored obvious signs, continuing on as they always did.
As childish as it was, they knocked into one another (more so Chad to provoke Sharpay), continuously belittled one another, settled on ways to earn the other a detention, and openly expressed a deep hatred for one another. Many of the students simply learned to ignore the dramatic pair, only forcing on Chad and Sharpay when it seemed one would finally to cave to the assumed desire for the other.
Secretly, Chad and Sharpay enjoyed the curious stares they received in the middle of a quarrel. They knew the rumors circulating around them; rumors traveled faster than the speed of light at East high. Both remained secretly amused by the assumption (although they never agreed or disagreed with them).
There was one thing Chad and Sharpay could always agree on, and that was their mutual hate for one another...even if they ignored the little voices in their heads that told them otherwise.
