Albuquerque, New Mexico
One week ago
"Gabriella please… don't cry… it's only a month trip… besides this trip is definitive for they to give me the scholarship… it's going to be basketball 24/7… You know?"
"Yeah I know… but then… why you… why you had to break with me?? Ehh??"
"It's not really a break...break… it's just for this month… then everything will be back the same…. Come here…" he embraced her tightly in his strong arms… 'After all… I just want to have a little bit of fun in Europe after all… and with no girlfriend by my side…'
"But… but... what am I going to do without you four weeks?? Taylor is going with Chad… my mom is also going out to New York for two months… and I'll be left alone… why can't I go with you??? You're not even going to be here for Christmas!!"
"We already talk about that… besides your mom told you to take care of your house while she's gone… You'll see we'll be back before you notice and time will past faster than you think…" He looked upon his watch… "Ohh… It's time already… I have to go… I'll call you when I get there…"
"I'll wait for it Troy… I'll really miss you… I love you!!" But Troy was no longer there to hear her voice…

Present day
As usual, Sharpay and Ryan were in the mall shopping… Sharpay was trying to get a new outfit to make her forget the last events of her life… well mostly she was trying to forget about her beloved one… She wanted so hard to see her… but she knew that it was not the time… besides after all the bad things she had done to her… it was really stupid to think that she was going to fall directly into her arms…
"Uhm… Sharpay… did you see her??"
"See who Ryan??"
"Gabriella!"
"Where??" She said trying to hide her surprise… her happiness…
"Over there… I think you should talk to her… "
"And why me? I think that last summer probed that I can't be friends with her… so go you to talk to her…"
"Oh… come on… I know you're dying inside for talking to her… take her to the house… enjoy her while you can… so… go girl… …"
"But how will you get back??"
"Don't worry… I'll see how… There some clothes I want to probe before vacations end and there still taxis… it's not that late…"
"Ok then… If it wasn't because you're my brother…"
Sharpay saw her in the distance… She really seemed like an angel to her… but an angel in disgrace… her face was marked with such sadness… She wanted just to take her in her arms and tell her that how much she loved her… and that she was a wonderful, gorgeous, smart, funny… simply beautiful… She was dying inside just to talk to her… but it was her secret… her love for Gabriella was her deepest secret…
Gabriella looked really lost in her own world… Since Troy broke up she wasn't her…
'She really looks like sh...t… I don't really know why she always returns to Troy… it's so obvious that he doesn't even love her like I do… but no their friends always have to intervene… I… I have to talk to her…'
"Is time for me to come up to scene…"
She approached Gabriella who was seeing the showcase of a library not deciding on whatever to come in or not…
"Hi Gabriella!" 'It really breaks my heart to see her like this…'
"Uhm…Hi Sharpay… I didn't see you coming…"
"How are you doing??"
"I am doing fine and you?? If you come to know if a break up with Troy my answer is yes… and when he comes back you can have him all if you want…"
With that answer she left Sharpay without answer… She wasn't expecting her to be so direct… Now that Sharpay was closer to her she could see the bags under her eyes because of the lack of sleep and also that her skin was too pale…
"I… I didn't come for that…"
"Wow… really?? I guess… that you expected me to be… let me see… less… direct… but guess what I am tired of this… I… I…" And after that she started crying … Sharpay was really surprised to see her like that…She had never… ever seen her like that… She started to take Gabriella into her arms… and after several tries she got her gently into her…. Gabriella seemed too fragile in her arms…
'I swear that bastard of Troy Bolton will suffer from making you feel like this…'
"Sush… Calm down girl… Everything is going to be alright… Besides you're making my blouse look kinda dirt you know?"
Gabriella laughed at that comment and so Sharpay… she was glad to hear her laugh…
'I wish I could hear your laugh more often…'
"See… not everything is crying in this life…"
Gabriella closed her eyes and smuggled more into Sharpay… Her head fitted perfectly into Sharpay's neck… Sharpay was feeling a mixture between warm and tickling and butterflies and lots and lots of different emotions… No one would even think of seen Sharpay the way she was with Gabriella… Even her brother started to see the subtle changes in her behavior… who would think Sharpay Evans would be such a nice girl instead of ice drama queen…??
"Would you… like to go to my house? And maybe we could watch a movie or something?"
"I… I would be glad to…"
"Then… We should get going… "
Sharpay was half smiling when they went out… She picked up Gabriella's hand and squeezed it a bit trying to let her know that she was there for her… Gabriella was looking rather confident… at least more than before Sharpay went for her…
Sharpay took her to her pink convertible BMW… she opened the door to let Gabriella in… After getting released by Sharpay, she couldn't help but make a weird face… she felt as if her confidence went away with Sharpay… She was kind of used to the feeling because Sharpay one way or another always left her with a huge lack of confidence… but this time seemed different it was like there was a connection between she and Sharpay…
Sharpay was also thinking while driving to her house… But totally different types of thoughts… She was thinking on the things that happened all over the summer… Thinking that Gabriella would never fall for her… after all the damage she had done… to her and Troy…
'She looks so cute when she's thinking… I wish she could be mine…why I have to pretend that I still like Troy… if it wasn't because of my parents… I just love her soo much… I want to… hug her… kiss her…arg… better pay attention on the road…'
They arrived on minutes to Evan's mansion… Sharpay was enjoying Gab's reactions… She was looking everywhere… The principal door opened and they followed the curve road that took to the main entrance of the house…Everything looked perfect… When they arrived to the main gate, Sharpay stopped the car and she and Gabriella were received for the whole Evan's staff and welcomed home…
"Well… here we are… welcome to Evan's house"
"I would say mansion rather than house!"
"It's not that big!"
"Come here I'll give you a tour around!"
"Uhu…"
Sharpay took her hand again and guided her inside her house. She was certainly amazed with it... It was a big two floor house. Sharpay took her everywhere within the first floor…
'She is a little bit happier… or at least I want to believe that…'
They continued with the tour, Gabriella more immerse in her thoughts than in Sharpay's voice…
'I can't believe I am in Sharpay's house… She's trying to cheer me up… Who would think that I was going to end up with the person that hates me the most…? But it's kind of different… since I saw her at the mall, she is acting lot different than school… she even hugged me… It felt good… because even if she does not say so… her eyes tell me that she's worried about me… I like her like this… Shar…'
"And this is the pool… Just take care… of the flooor" Splash!!! "Ok… too late for that… "
"Shar… Sharpay you could have warned me before you know??" Gabriella was saying from the pool where she had just fallen into…
"You look kinda cute like that you know??" Sharpay stood just there thinking how she could see her whole body through her clothes… How easy could it be just to fall under that sweet temptation in front of her…
"Come on… Are you just going to stare at me??"
"Uhmm… sorry… let me help you"
Both went closer to the edge of the pool. Sharpay extended her hand to take hers but instead of being her the one to pull up Gabriella, she was taken down… and splash!!!!!!!!!
"hahahah now who's wet!!! Jajaja" said Gabriella trying to hide the strong feeling left by taking Sharpay's hand in her own… the electricity rushing through both of them making them shiver and not from the cold water…
"Gabriella!! You didn't have to pull me into the pool!!! Now I am all wet!!"
"jajaja you had to look to your face jajaj it was really funny!!"
"Yeah yeah whatever… Come on let's go for something to change for… happy??"
"The truth?? Yeah!! Jejeje it was really funny!!"
"I see that you're having fun ehh??" Said Ryan that appeared from the living room's entrance…
"Ryan your home!!"
"Let me help you girls…."
When Ryan said so, Sharpay and Gabriella looked at each other with a complicity look… and at the same time they took Ryan's hands and pulled him into the pool as well…
Splash!!
"You!!!"
He started throwing water at them!! Gabs and Sharpay made a common defense against him… The three of them having as much fun as ever…and it was reflected immediately in Sharpay's face that lighted up a bit more than before…
"jajaj It was fun to play with you… but I have to go to get ready for my date tonight!!"
"Who are you going with bro?" Sharpay asked while Ryan was getting out of the pool…
"A boy I met last winter….good guy… so… see you later!!" He disappeared out of the sight of the girls… And after that, Sharpay turned around to help Gabriella get out of the pool…
Sharpay was guiding Gabriella again but not she was taking her to the second floor…to her bedroom…
"Shar… Ryan is… uhm… Ryan is… he really going on a date with a…."
"Guy?? Yes…"
"Is… he… gay??"
"Uhm… I would say bi… why the question?"
"Nothing… nothing… Who would think… I fancied him…"
"You fancied my brother??" She blushed when she heard the voice of Sharpay and the tone of it… Gabriella was feeling rather guilty saying that… she thought it was because they were sister and brother but the feeling was still there hurting her… In the other side, Sharpay was beginning to realize that she was really in a lost battle…and her heart ached much more than Gabriella's knowing the real reason of the pain….
"Why the sad face Shar??"
"Because I think even my brother has better luck in love than me…"
"No that's not true… you're a wonderful… beautiful… gorgeous girl…" 'And I really mean it… where did that come from??'
"Do you think so?" Gabriella saw the sudden change in Shar's mode… how her face lighted up and blushed as well…
"Yeah… you just have to find the right guy to be with" 'or maybe… me… as friend right? Or not?'
"Uhm... yeah guy…" 'Uhm… ok… I lightened up too quickly… guy… that's the problem!! I don't like guys I like you!!! Not Zeke or Troy!! You!!!'
"Come on… don't put that face… it's even better been alone that… well… like… like me and Troy…."
By the time Gabriella said that they were already entering Sharpay's room… She started crying again making Shar uncomfortable and sad… Sharpay hugged her again trying to show her feelings through the hug…
"What kind of friend I am…!! That I made you cry twice today…"
"Don't… you're really good friend… Shar… it's just that… I miss him… he said that he was going to call me but he didn't… my mom is not here… Taylor is also gone… I am all alone…"
"Alone?? And what am I?? Furniture??"
"Noo… but…. Jeje… well you were not there the first week… I didn't mean it like that… it's just that…" Gabriella broke apart…while saying that…trying to hide her face from Sharpay…
It sounded like a lover's reproach but none of them realized it was…
"But I didn't know!! How I was supposed to know if we barely talk to each other in school!! Just for that I'll be tag to you for the next month…"
"Really?? Promise??"
Sharpay was in shock she didn't know how to respond… But beneath the surface they knew that her answer was more important than it looked like…
"Yeah promise… Is not like I had to do better things than hang around a girl I barely know but… well…"
"Sharpay!!!"
"jaja… what!! Is true!!... We aren't really friends… we're more like classmates that's all…"
"Then… we…. will… be… more…."
And after that Gabriella hugged her… feeling more secure after Sharpay's promise… Their bond was growing slowly but it was there… they were getting aware of how they bodies fitted perfectly to each other… and how even if they didn't think of it much, how each other responses meant more than anything else…
'mmm… roses… I… should… move away… I really can feel her…'
"We should seek for something to wear…" Sharpay pulled apart from her… "Do… do… you want… to stay… here… tonight?"
"I… uhm don't know…"
"No... It's fine if you don't want… after all what I've done to you…"
"I'll be glad to stay… no problem with your parents??"
"Uhm?? Don't think so… my mom will be happy that I brought someone home…"
"I thought Brianna…. Sandy… well them… were here a lot…"
As Gabriella said that Sharpay started to look for something to give Gabriella and something for herself to… not aware that she was rather hiding than looking…
"The girls?? Na… they just hang with me whatever I am going to pay in the mall… or in the club…. They don't really care about me… ok… but anyway… take this… it should fit… we're more or less the same size… right through that door is the bathroom…" 'Why did I say that to her??'
"Won't you change first?"
"No… go ahead… you're freezing…." Sharpay rubbed Gabriella's arms with her hands just slightly…
Gabriella went through what was left of the dressing room and entered to the bathroom… It was almost as big as Gab's room… and it was all white… kinda contrasting with Sharpay's light pink bedroom. It even had its own jacuzzi for two or more people!!
She started to change… but she was not really there her thoughts were still drifting her apart… She was remembering Troy but it was the least of her thoughts… the person that was invading them was Sharpay… and this was making her feel so disoriented…
'Who would think that Shar was going to be like this so friendly with me… after all we've done to each other… but she seems all alone… I don't want her to be alone… I want her to be with me… I want to hold her in my…'
"Gabriella?? Are you still there??"
"Duh… Obviously!!"
"Hurry up! I am freezing…"
"If you want you can change here with me…"
Silence…
'What did I say? Did I say something wrong??'
'Is… is Gabriella flirting with me??'
"What a face!! Who would imagine the ice drama queen with such shock face???"
Gabriella came out of the bathroom unnoticed by Sharpay who was still in shock...
"I am really an ice drama queen? Not that I don't like the queen but…"
"Hey come on… don't put such a long face… you know that most of the time you enjoy being such a drama queen…" 'It's only Ryan and her… lonely…'
"And you thought that you were a bad friend… but I also made you cry…"
Gabriella tried to hug her… but before she could reach her, Sharpay stepped back…
"I'll… get changed…" And after that she disappeared through the bathroom door…
While waiting for Sharpay, Gabriella started to look around.
Sharpay's room… in one word… different… It was pink but not as exaggerated as Gabriella thought it would be… In fact it looked really good… In the right middle side of the bedroom was the bed with an old wooden trunk right in front of it… In front of these, there was a full set of television, dvd, stereo, etc… In the left side was the entrance to the dressing room and the bathroom…In the right side, leant to the window was a desk full of papers, books and Shar's laptop… It had a photo of Sharpay and her family looking all of them really happy…
"Checking out my room…? I like that photo… It was taken when I was like 8 years old…" Sharpay smiled at the memory of that time… Gabriella smiled back still holding the photo in her right hand…
"When did you get out? I didn't even see you!! You scared me…"
"jaja Did I really scare you? Sorry… I didn't think I would… I didn't want to disturb you… you looked too peaceful…"
A silence fell over them… Their eyes locked in each other's eyes… wanting to see through them… wanting… wanting more…
"But anyway shall we watch a movie?"
"Yeap"
"Your wishes are orders to me…my lady" Said Sharpay making a short bow… Gabriella just giggled while doing a bow herself…
After that, both girls settled in Sharpay's bed and started to watch a movie…
In the middle of the movie, both of them fell slept… Sharpay's arm pulled Gabriella closer … Gabriella's head rested in Shar's shoulder…

Meanwhile in the other side of the Atlantic
Rome, Italy
"Come on Troy let's go!! We have to celebrate our winning!! You'll call Gabriella later…"
"Yeah I'll be going… just one more try…" 'Fucking bastard bitch… why she's not answering the phone? She's supposed to be a good girl and stay at her house… not even in the cell she answers… if she doesn't answer, I don't have a reason to be a good boy then… fuck her up…'
He put again his face of angelic boy and went out after Chad…
In the party
"Chad… what's doing Troy??"
"Hey!! He's with two chicks…. And very very drunk…"
"Should we tell Gabriella?"
"Don't think so… imagine what problem that would be… forget about them… just let concentrate on us… Come here girl…"
"Chad… mmm… not… here…"
