Sharpay poked through his curls and tapped his ear. His head jerked to the right then moved back. She smiled, doing it again. He chuckled.

"Stop. Do your work," Chad said, focusing on his physics book.

"I'm done," Sharpay said, poking her pencil at him again. Chad sighed, turning onto his back. Her book flew to the other side of her large bed. Sharpay's body lifted from his as he turned, but she landed back on him with quite a force. Chad let out all of the air in his lungs when she did. "Nice one," she remarked. Chad regained his breath, chest heaving. Sharpay enjoyed the feeling.

"Gee, thanks," he said after some air returned to him. He placed a hand on her back and the other behind his head. Sharpay placed her hands one on top of the other, then rested her chin on them. The two made eye contact which wasn't unusual. Chad loved to stare into her radiant brown eyes. He'd discovered the doorway to her emotions and she'd given him the key voluntarily.

This friendly relationship had started the night of the baseball game. He'd made her feel comfortable in her own skin again. She was free to behave as she pleased, do as she wanted without being hit. Even though Ronald had been in the same house, Chad's protective aura created a shield around her. After a month, here they lay, studying for finals.

"So, what now?" she asked. Chad took a moment to think, his eyes relocating to the ceiling. Sharpay watched him intently. Her fingers began to toy with the red lettering on his black t-shirt instinctively. Her eyes travelled from the depths of his brown eyes, which were a few shades darker than her own, to his succulent lips. He was unbelievably attractive and she was starting to understand why all the girls chased after him. What girl wouldn't want to run their finger through his tight curls? She got to do it on a regular basis.

"Hungry?" he asked.

"Famished," she replied.

"We could go eat," he suggested. She nodded her agreement.

"Just let me change." She brushed her lips against his in a "friendly" manner before getting off of him. She went into her drawers and closet before going into her massive bathroom. Chas sat up and turned to close his large textbook. He got off of the bed and slipped on his brand new red and black Jordan's. He was starting to dress in a similar style of Sharpay… well, the matching and accenting part at least. His shoes went with his shirt. He pulled on his red letterman's jacket and grabbed his keys from the pocket.

Sharpay returned a few minutes later.

"Ready?" he asked, looking at her. Her bruises were now gone and she was unafraid to show off some skin. Her leather pink skirt showed this, but this wasn't the most revealing thing he'd seen her in. Her white shirt and pink boots matched. Chad could've sworn he'd seen her in this outfit before.

"Let's go," she said, pushing herself off of the door frame. Chad headed out of the room.

"So, what play would you come see out of your own desire to?" Sharpay questioned before taking a sip of her chocolate shake. Chad finished the bite of his cheeseburger before answering.

"Cruel Intentions," he admitted. "If you played Katharine." Sharpay's eyes widened and she chuckled.

"Are you serious? There is so much sex. Why am I surprised? It's you," she said. He laughed, grabbing a French fry. "If I played Katharine? Why me?"

"It fits you."

"Does not! I'm not that sexual."

"Not that sexual? How sexual are you?" He hadn't expected such words to escape her lips.

"Just not that sexual," she said discreetly, taking a sip of her shake.

"Wow, scared of that. I sorta wanna see it." Sharpay laughed softly.

"You never will."

"Why?"

"You're not in that type of intimate relationship with me," she answered seriously, making eye contact. They sat there for a moment, gazing into the doorway of the other's soul.

"So, we're in an intimate relationship?" Chad wondered.

"Yes. Just not that type."

OOC: This was just a chapter to set up their relationship. I've decided to make this a story made up of oneshots
