Screaming For You

disclaimer- I own nothing.

A/N- I saw HSM3 yesterday!!! It was great, htough I felt they left a lot unsaid. And not enough Sharpay. Though did you hear Ashley during 'Just wanna be with you' it was so lovely. It was like crying at the end. It was emotional. But all in all, great movie. And during 'Scream' my favorite song from the movie (That and 'Walk Away') I thought it'd be cool if it were Sharpay in the theatre instead of Ms. Darbus.

Troy Screamed. As loud as he possibly could, he screamed. He had basically broken into the school (Though it hadn't been locked) and ran around the school, feeling sorry for himself. He didn't know if it was all the pressure of the future or because of Gabriella leaving, but he was in deep. He was stressed and confused ans scared. He may not admit it to others, but a part of him just hated the idea of following in his father's footsteps. He loved his dad, but he'd been following his his dad's foot steps for years. He just wanted to be himself. And with the added pressure of being accepted into Julliard and having to decide over that, it was enough to make his head spin. So he did the one thing he thought might help him now. He screamed.

"Troy..." Came a familar voice from behind the curtains. Troy turned in suprise and was shocked to see who was there.

"Sharpay...? What are you doing here?"

"Could ask you the same thing." She smiled, sitting at the end of the stage.

Troy studied her curiously. She was wearing jeans (very unlike Sharpay) and an oversized hoodie tied in the back (also very unlike Sharpay). He also noticed that the hoodie...was a basketball hoodie. It was a wildcat hoodie too. "Who's hoodie is that?" He aksed, knowing that it had to be one of the guys on the teams.

Sharpay looked up and smiled softly. "Zeke's. It's warm."

Troy nodded, smiling at how...sweet, she seemed. "So you and Zeke are together huh?"

"We're going to prom." She was silent a moment before taking a breathe and asking, "Gabriella still coming down for the prom?"

"Yeah." He nodded. "I bet you have your dress all picked out and everything. Wanna look great for being crowned prom queen huh?" He said, nudging her a bit.

"I don't think that's going to happen. But yeah, I have my dress and everything ready."

"Cool."

"So um...do you mind me asking why you were just screaming your head off back there?" She asked with slight amusement and concern.

"I um...I..." He stuttered. This was Sharpay, why should he tell her what's going on. They weren't even that close after all.

"Don't try lying. I'm a good people reader. And I don't judge, depite what all might think."

He sighed. "Gabby left. My dad's freaking out on me, and I'm freaking out on myself."

She nodded slowly, almost like a theripts would do while their patient went on a rampage of emotions and feelings. Troy, noticing she wasn't going to say anything comtinued. "But I'm fine. I can handle it."

"Liar."

Troy looked at her with curiousity, an eyebrow raised. "What do you mean?"

"You're not going to be fine Troy. You're going to think it over and over until it drives you crazy and you're forced to make a desicion that you may not want to."

"Okay, what are you talking about?"

She stayed silnt, playing with her fingers. "Nothing."

"Liar."

She gave him a sharp look. "It's nothing. It's just..."

.

"Things aren't turning out like you planned?" He guessed. Though it was a pretty good guess. He was sure it was happening like that for everyone else.

She nodded sadly. "I've wanted to go to Julliard since I was a little girl. It was my dream and now...now that dream is over."

"You don't know that. You can still get in." He said comfortingly.

She scoffed. "Please we all know it's between you and Ryan."

"I'm not going though."

"Then me and Ryan. It doesn't matter. I never get anything that I work for. The musical last year, Gabriella got. You last summer, Gabriella already had. Prom queen, I'm sure Gabriella has that locked up. And now Julliard...you, Ryan, or Kelsi have. Not me."

"Sharpay..."

"No, no. It's fine. It doesn't matter." She sighed, standing up. "You were right. Our futures are going different directions. I mean, I may never see half the people from the school ever again. Truthfully, I can't say that's the worst thought I've ever had. I mean...I've made a lot of mistakes through the years. With you, Gabriella, everybody. Maybe I don't deserve Julliard."

Troy stood up instantly. "Of course you do." He reassured. "You're really talented and you've worked hard for everything you've accomplished."

"And what have I accomplished exactly? The fear of East High? Ice Queen? The bitch who tried to destroy Troyella, the perfect couple? The drama queen?" She questioned, a new softness in her voice.

"I never belived you were any of those things." And he truely didn't. "And I don't believe anybody else does either."

"Excuse me, but have you heard Chad when he speaks of me?"

Troy shook his head. "He doesn't say half the things you think he proabably does. And I'm being honest, you're a good person when you just let you're guard down and let people in. Like, tonite for example. You're bing nice. We were sitting downa nd talkign about actual life...Shar, that's the real you. Not the ice princess."

"You honestly believe that?" She asked with a spark in her eye.

"I honestly do." He replied, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear gently.

"I don't deserve what you just said...but thanks. Now my only problem is that I may have to go to college with Chad." (Didn't they end up going to college together? Or the same college?)

Troy chuckled. "Hey, you might be going to college with me too."

"Oh, wow." She said with glum. "That's a thought to cheer me up."

Troy laughed and nudged her. "Your'e sarcasm there was harsh Shar. Real harsh."

"You know, maybe going to school with you wouldn't be so bad. Better than starting out knowing no one." She stopped for a second as if thinking. "Actutally, that might make things easier."

"Oh, relax. You're a greta person Sharpay. Just show people that you are."

"You're right. I just need to show people that I can be different. And maybe start by trying my best to do Gabriella's job in the play." She said quitely.

Troy nodded slowly. Then it all rushed back to him, Gabriella leaving, his dad. Ugh, life sucked. "You have a lot of talent Sharpay. You'll do great." He said, almost sounding rehearsed.

"You really don't want to do this play with me do you Troy?" She said quitely, causing Troy to look straight at her, still saying nothing. "I know how much you wish it was gabriella instead, but-"

She didn't get the chance to finsih, because the weirdest thing happened. Troy had kissed her. The guy, Troy Bolton, who was suppose to be so in love with Gabriella Montez, team captian, and who for the past three years had been having an on and off again battle with Sharpay Evans, was kissing her. Who saw that one coming?

She pulled away and stared at her feet. "What was that?"

"A kiss."

"Don't be a smartass."

He smirked and lifted his chin. "I wasn't." Then, again, the weairdest thing happened. He kissed her again. Life at East high never dissipoints to suprise.
