Chapter 2.
We finally got to school and as soon as I walked through the door everybody down the corridor stopped and looked at me and I knew why.
"Guess this year's not going to be so different after all then Troy." I said to him.
"I'm sure it'll calm down after a few days. I mean not everybody was interested in you because of you brother and sister last year, it just seemed to you like they were. Trust me Sharpay, there's so many more people in this school than there was in our old one so there has got to be a group around somewhere that doesn't know who you are or who you're related to." He said. That's what I like about him y'know I mean he's always there for me trying to make me feel better, without him this whole journey would be so much worse.
We both made our way to our homeroom and were handed our schedules for the semester. Before I even got a chance to look at mine Troy grabbed it away from me and started comparing it to his.
"Yo Shar, we got all the same lessons this year. Woohoo at least now I'll have at least one person in all my lessons." He laughed.
"What are you like? Give it here I want to read my own schedule thank you." I said grabbing it from his hand and then continued, "So what are we doing for lunch today?"
"Hey, that's my line. I'm the one that is always eating. And haven't you just had breakfast?" He stated in an offended tone.
"Well I just figured if we decided now then we could just get out of class and go instead of waiting around and making decisions." I told him.
"Fair enough, erm how about Burger King?" He said.
"Fine. But tomorrow we go Subway yeah?" I said compromising where I had wanted to go.
"Deal. Now let's get moving to class so we can get a good seat next to each other." He replied and started walking away.
I ran a little to catch up with him and when I got there he grabbed my hand in his. When I asked him what the matter was he said nothing and carried on walking. Why would he grab my hand and hold it for no reason?
When we reached our first class we walked straight to the back of the class rooms and sat down in two chairs next to one another.
"See. I told you we'd get good seats if we hurried." Troy laughed.
'Man I love his laugh it just makes me happy.'
"You knew we would get good seats anyway. But what was the deal in holding my hand all the way here?" I asked him.
"It was nothing really. I just didn't want to lose you in the crowd of bodies." As he said this I noticed he couldn't even look at me… Was he lying to me?
To hide my frustration and confusion I decided it would probably be best if I didn't say much to him for now so I just nodded and said "Okay then."
After that we didn't really talk much to each other for the rest of the day and for the first time I can remember since us becoming friends he didn't come to my house after school. Seeing as I had all night to myself, as Ryan was still in bed moaning about being ill, I decided I would sit in the music room of my house and write songs and play piano until I was hungry. This had been the place I had spent most of my summer vacation due to Troy being in Italy.
Sitting at my piano is when I am happiest, I forget all my troubles and worries and I can just sit and play for hours on end. Sometimes I even sing but it depends on what I'm playing. But today it felt different, I felt even more alone than normal and I couldn't help myself from wondering why Troy had acted so strangely in school.
As playing my piano wasn't helping me to forget I left the music room and went into the study. As I logged into MSN Troy popped up:
Troy: Hey.
Sharpay: Hi
Troy: I'm sorry about today.
Sharpay: It's Okay. But what was wrong?
Troy: It's just that since I went to Italy this summer I kept thinking about some stuff but I didn't know why I was thinking about them and I didn't know what to say to you today.
Sharpay: Troy, you know you can tell me anything, d'ya wanna come over and talk for a bit?
Troy: I guess I should. But if I can't talk right away please don't get mad and not talk to me the way you did today. I'll be over soon.
Sharpay: Kk. Cya when you get here xx
Troy: About 15 mins okay xx
Sharpay: Sure… Have you had dinner, the maid is cooking right now anyway.
Troy: Shar, you should know even if I have had dinner I'll still eat when I'm at your house. So I'll be over soon.
Troy is now off-line.
Feeling a little bit better now me and Troy were talking again I went to my room, brushed my hair and touched up my make-up as I always did. I finished just as the doorbell rang and I heard the maid announce his presence to me so I went downstairs to join him.
