Author's Note: Here's my new Zekepay story! French Kissin' Life is copyrighted to Kenny Chesney, and while this story takes place in France, I will not add any french sentances, but simple french words. You can look them up if you desire. The couples are Zekepay and Rylie. Enjoy, and happy reading!
Chapter One: Trip Down Memory Lane
"Were going to France." Sharpay Evans declared to Ryan Evans, and Ryan raised an eyebrow at her.
"And what makes you say we are?" Ryan askes, and Sharpay rolled her eyes at him.
"Because, brother, Zeke might be cheating on me!"
"Shar, Haylie and I both know Zeke would never cheat on you. Even if he is in a another country."
"Brother, if you were in a country where they french-kissed, you'd dump Haylie in a second!" Sharpay snapped, and Ryan widen his eyes.
"I never do that!"
"Yeah, that's what Zeke said too. You guys all sound alike." Sharpay replied.
It was a Monday afternoon, and Ryan was visiting Sharpay at the Sherwood dorms while Haylie Anderson was at her job at the daycare.
Of course, Sharpay still clinged to the idea that Zeke was cheating on her in France, of all places, and Ryan was trying to talk her out of going.
Ryan sighed, and he looked at his twin sister.
"Like I told you before: Zeke is crazy about you. He'd never do anything to hurt you, and if he did, he'd have a pretty good reason."
That's when Sharpay really looked at Ryan.
"He has a girlfriend already! He doesn't need a reason!" Sharpay stated, and Ryan smirked.
"Come on, Sharpay. Your not the only girl he ever liked. Remember Calista?"
"Don't you dare say that name in front of me!" Sharpay explained, but Ryan just smiled.
"See, you do remember. That explains that while he still liked you, he had crushes on other girls."
"And I find you wrong. No guy could ever not like me, and not have a crush on another girl." Sharpay stated, and Ryan shook his head.
New Sharpay, but the same old personality traits still shone.
"Not every guy liked you, and you know it." Ryan replied, and Sharpay gave him a smile.
"Don't be silly! Even Troy Bolton had a crush on me!" Sharpay commented, and Ryan rolled his eyes, and Sharpay glared at him.
"Yeah, but Troy is over you." Ryan pointed out, and now it was Sharpay's turn to do an eyeroll.
Sometimes Ryan could lie very good (lying to Haylie when something bad is going to happen), or be brutally hontest (towards Sharpay).
"I know that. And I'm over him."
"People said you weren't when you started to date Zeke."
"Jenna Long said that because she thought I was treating Zeke terribly! I wasn't!" Sharpay protested, and Ryan looked at her.
"Well, Shar, you always did when he would always ask you out. That's why not alot of people saw it the way you guys did."
"Oh, and some people call you cocky!" Sharpay reported, and Ryan grinned.
"That's because I hung around with you so much, sis." Ryan told her, and Sharpay scowled at him.
During high school, Sharpay was known as The Mountain Lion (well, commonly known), and The Ice Princess.
But, that all changed when Sharpay started to hang out with Haylie and fell in love with Zeke.
You can sort of say that Sharpay had transformed.
"I know that, and they called me cocky as well."
"That's because you were cocky, Shar."
"Shut up, Ryan!"
"Well, it's true!"
The fight was broken when Sharpay's cellphone started to ring, and Sharpay picked it up.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Sharpay? It's Zeke."
"Zeke?" she explained, and Ryan snickered, and Sharpay glared at him.
"Did you forget me already?" Zeke asked, and Sharpay heard him laugh.
"No, of course not! In fact, me and Ryan are talking about you right now." Sharpay told him, and Zeke nodded.
"Oh! Hey, I managed to get tickets for you, Ryan, and Haylie. I wanted to invite the whole gang, but they only gave me three tickets. Did you guys want to go?" Zeke asked, and Sharpay restrained herself from screaming out loud.
"Really? Of course were going!"
Ryan looked at her.
"Shar, I have to ask--"
"Ask Haylie later, brother. Were going to France!" Sharpay exclaimed, and Zeke laughed.
"I knew you'd be excited."
"Will we have to practice our french?" Ryan asked, and Sharpay hit him on the shoulder.
"Ryan, stop acting stupid!"
"No, you don't, alot of the french speak english, just not that good. But you might want to take a lanague book with you."
"Zeke, this sounding like a class trip instead of an actual trip!" Sharpay stated, and Ryan laughed.
"Maybe, but didn't you always wanted to go to France?" Zeke asked.
This boy knew her all too well!
"Yeah, of course. I want to go to alot of places."
"And your going to one of your destined places."
In the background, she could hear people talking, pots and pans banging, and vartiey of sounds: she guessed Zeke was in some french kitchen.
"Aren't you suppose to be working?" Sharpay asked him.
"Right! I was so wrapped up in talking to you...I'll see you guys when you guys come to France. Love you!"
The dial-tone buzzed in Sharpay's ear when Zeke said his departing words.
Sharpay clamped the cellphone shut, and she looked at Ryan.
Her friends were really lucky that their boyfriends stayed in New Mexico, while hers had to go all the way to France just because someone saw his true skills.
"I miss Zeke." Sharpay stated, and Ryan looked at her.
"Don't we all?" Ryan asked jokely, and Sharpay glared at him.
"That's not funny, Ryan."
"I know you do. But, like the rest of us, Zeke is living out his dream. I don't think you want to take that away from him." Ryan explained, and Sharpay nodded.
"Of course I don't. I just wish he didn't have to be so far away."
Ryan smiled as he got up from the chair he was sitting in.
"Remember, long-distance relationships sometime works."
"Not for me and Zeke, it doesn't."
Ryan grinned as he looked at her.
"Now your just being a sour puss."
"Ryan, shut up."
But, the comment worked: a giggle escaped her mouth, and Ryan laughed.
"See, you can't help but to smile when I'm around!"
