A/N: I do not HSM.

Chapter 1 – Their Perfect Life

"Wake up, my princess! Wake up, honey! I love you and I can't wait to see you." Troy's voice flooded her bedroom. She smiled as she opened her eyes and hit the off button of her alarm clock. He customized her alarm alert a month after they got together and even after two years of being together, it still had the same effect on her. It was like this everyday; waking up to the sound of Troy's voice always put a smile on her face. She surveyed her room, yawned and stretched the sleepiness off her. She reached for her pink diamond encrusted Sidekick and checked her messages. She had one voicemail. It was from Troy.

"Good morning, my princess. Happy 2nd anniversary, love. I can't wait to see you and I promise tonight, you'll have the best time. Now get up from that bed, take a long, hot shower and I'll see you in 40 minutes. I love you" Troy said.

Sharpay smiled as she flipped her phone close. Today is their 2nd year anniversary and she still can't believe that they're together. She got up from her bed as she thought about how she and Troy got together.

Troy and Sharpay have been best friends since they were in the 3rd grade. They would spend so much time together and tell each other absolutely everything and anything. Their parents were close and were always teasing them that they would end up getting married someday. She smiled at the thought. Getting married to Troy was something she always daydreams about in the morning and today was no exception. When they got to high school, cliques were formed. Sharpay loved acting and would always get the lead in school plays; hence she was labeled the Drama Queen while Troy was the Basketball King after being named captain by his sophomore year. They were arguably the two most popular and richest kids in East High. But despite this, they managed to get past that stereotype and got together just before winter break. They were known as the Golden Couple as the entire student body accepted them and was supportive of their relationship; after all, every queen needs her king.

She smiled as she stepped out of the shower and went straight to her walk-in closet. She picked out Troy's favorite outfit on her: a black Dior laced top, white William Rast denim pants and a black Manolo Blahnik pumps. She accessorized her outfit with the locket Troy gave her for their 1st anniversary. It was a heart-shaped, diamond encrusted locket with both of their pictures in it. She checked herself one more time in the full-length mirror when she heard somebody knocked.

"It's open" she yelled. It was Ryan.

"Hey Pay, what's up?" Ryan asked as he plopped himself on Sharpay's bed

Sharpay ignored him and continued to check herself out in the mirror, smoothing the invisible crease on her outfit. Ryan rolled his eyes, stood up, approached her and took out something from his pocket. It was a white gold bracelet with a microphone charm covered with diamonds. "Here" Ryan continued.

Sharpay turned to look at his brother, with a raised eyebrow "What's this for?"

"It's from Troy. I'm taking it's your 2nd year anniversary." Ryan explained as he put the bracelet on her and then to look at her. "Okay. You officially look like a walking jewelry store. Good thing Troy is driving you up this morning"

Sharpay smiled as she played with her new jewelry, completely ignoring Ryan again. Ryan cleared her throat to get her attention. "Speaking of Troy, he's in the kitchen"

Sharpay beamed even more and kissed Ryan on the cheek "Thank little bro", she teased and walked out of the room.

"5 minutes! That was only 5 minutes!" Ryan shouted but Sharpay was half way down the stairs. She tried to hurry her step as fast as her Manalo Blahnik would allow her. She went straight into the kitchen and found Troy making her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She hugged him from behind

"Hey baby, happy anniversary" She said

Troy turned around and enveloped her with his arms "Wow, you look incredible baby. Happy anniversary. I see you got gift number 1" he said, eyeing the bracelet.

"Yeah and I love it and you look incredible yourself" she said, leaning forward and capturing his lips in a kiss. Troy placed a hand on her cheek, deepening the kiss but pulled away when the need for air was necessary.

"Ready to go to school?" Troy asked, resting his forehead on hers.

"Do we have to?" Sharpay whined.

Troy laughed. He loved Sharpay's little tantrums. "Unfortunately, we do."

"Okay, okay. But before we go, I want to give you…" she said, reaching something from her back pocket. "…this" and handed them to Troy. It was two season pass, courtside tickets for the LA Lakers.

Troy's mouth hang open as he grabbed the ticket "How? …Wow, thank you baby!"

Sharpay beamed "Anything for you honey" she said, leaning in to kiss Troy, who immediately deepened the kiss. Sharpay moved her arms from his waist to his neck as Troy tightened his grip around her waist. He was getting ready to hoist Sharpay up on the kitchen counter when they heard Ryan.

"Gah, stop! Get a room!" Ryan exclaimed as both Troy and Sharpay pulled away and laughed.

Troy finished making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, one for him and one for Sharpay, and stuffed them inside his bag. He laced his hands with Sharpay's and dragged her outside. Sharpay waved goodbye to his brother and then disappeared outside.

The moment they stepped in school, they were immediately greeted by their best friends, Chad Danforth and his girlfriend, Taylor McKessie.

"Hey Pay!" Taylor greeted, as she enveloped her in a hug while Troy and Chad knocked fist.

"Hey Tay! So how was your date last night?" Sharpay asked sarcastically.

"You told her already?" Chad exclaimed, his eyes doubling in size

"No" Taylor said bluntly

"She just texted it" Sharpay added as Troy tightened his grip around Sharpay's waist, laughing.

Chad saw this and rolled his eyes "And you know already?"

"Yeah, well we don't keep secrets from one another" Troy defended.

"So you should have thought about what you did before actually doing it" Sharpay teased

"Hey, let it go. I mean he didn't do it on purpose, right baby?" Taylor asked wrapping her arms around Chad's neck.

"Right" Chad pouted before giving Taylor a soft peck on the lips "And everybody does it. Even you two" Chad added

"Yeah, but we never do it in front of each other." Sharpay said.

"Face it Chad. You and Tay have taken your relationship to an all new level… the "fart" stage" Troy teased as he, Sharpay and Taylor laughed at the expense of Chad.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever" Chad gave up and joined in.

Just then the school bell rang. For their senior year, Troy and Sharpay only has class together, AP Pre Calculus, which bummed both of them but they were secure with their relationship plus the fact that Troy is spending 5 nights a week at Sharpay's. Also contrary to popular belief of being popular and despite both being involved in extra-curricular activities, they are both really smart being in at least 3 AP classes (different schedules) and have a 3.8 GPA.

Sharpay's first class was History and Mr. Michaels was a boring teacher, indeed. Today, they were studying the French Revolution and by the middle of it Sharpay was already spacing out. She thought about her life with Troy for the past two years. A typical day for Troy and Sharpay in school usually starts with them hanging out with their best friends Chad and Taylor. They'll go to their morning classes separately but will make sure to see each other in between and these means making out either in front of Troy's or Sharpay's locker. Troy's free period is usually spent playing basketball with either Chad or Ryan in the gym while Sharpay spends her free period with Kelsi at the auditorium practicing for the next musicale. For lunch, they sometime spend it alone together in the Science Garden or with their friends at the cafeteria. After drama rehearsals and basketball practice, they would go straight to the Troy's house for dinner since Sharpay loved Lucy Bolton's cooking and then to Sharpay's for the night. Jack and Lucy Bolton, Troy's parents, were okay with Troy spending the night at Sharpay. They trust him and the fact that they consider Sharpay as part of their family. And no, they haven't had sex – Sharpay did not want to, she wanted to stay a virgin until she got married. Troy understands and did not pressure her. At Sharpay's, they would do their homework first and then watched DVDs until they fall asleep. This has been her life for the past two years and honestly she hoped that it would stay like this for the rest of their life.

Everything seemed to go by so fast for Sharpay and that lunch time was up ahead. She was starting to space out again when her phone vibrated. She had one new message. She discreetly grabbed her phone from her purse and read the message. It was from Troy.

To Sharpay

Hey baby, meet me at the Science Garden for lunch. I love you

She smiled, hit the reply button and typed her message as quick as possible

To Troy

See you soon. I love you too baby!

She flipped her phone close and placed it back inside her purse. She couldn't wait for lunch now. She stared at the clock above Ms. Hall, hoping that time would speed up a bit. Tick-tock-tick-tock and 5 minutes later, the bell rang. Sharpay quickly gathered her things and made her way towards the Science Garden. When she got there, Troy was placing the sandwiches he made this morning on two paper plates and got two bottles of mango juice. She smiled, cleared her throat announcing her arrival and walked towards Troy.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Bolton, your anniversary lunch is served" Troy said, ushering Sharpay to take a seat on the bench.

Sharpay giggled "Why thank you, Mr. Bolton."

Troy laughed and sat beside Sharpay, wrapping his arms around her while she rested her back on his chest. They stayed like that all throughout lunch time, not moving a muscle. The only time they moved was when the bell rang. Troy quickly collected their things, grabbed Sharpay's hand and made their way out of the Science Garden. They stopped by Troy's locker.

"Happy 2nd anniversary, babe" Troy said, wrapping his arms around Sharpay's waist as she wraps her arms around his neck and their foreheads resting on each others.

"Happy anniversary" she answered.

She was about to lean in to give Troy a kiss when Chad shouted from across the hall, "Get a room"

They gave Chad a death glare as the rest of the gang (this includes Taylor, Ryan, Kelsi, Jason, Zeke and Martha) laughed and made their way towards them. Troy rolled his eyes and turned back to Sharpay, "So I'll pick you up tonight at 7PM, okay?"

Sharpay nodded, "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." Troy said, kissing Sharpay softly. "Also, I asked Taylor to give you a ride home so that we, meaning you, will have more time to prepare for our date"

"Fine. I'll see you at 7PM then." Sharpay said. She kissed Troy one more time before Taylor dragged her to their next class.

Later that evening… Troy and Sharpay's date

Troy and Sharpay had dinner at Cibo, the newest 5-star Italian restaurant in Albuquerque, where he rented an entire function room for the both of them. She was wearing a black off-shoulder, knee-length Neiman Marcus top, Ralph Lauren denim pants and black Jimmy Choo pumps. She was also wearing the necklace and bracelet that Troy gave her. Troy, on the other hand, was wearing blue short-sleeve Armani polo, William Rast denim pants and white Converse sneakers.

Afte dinner, they were dancing even though there was no music. Troy suddenly stopped and pulled away causing Sharpay to give him a confused look. He reached something in his pocket and took Sharpay's hand in his. He opened his hand to reveal a pink diamond ring. Sharpay's eyes doubled in size as she puts a hand over mouth.

Troy smiled "Don't worry. It's not an engagement ring. Well, not yet. It's a promise ring."

"A promise ring?" was all Sharpay managed to say

"Yeah. A promise ring that as long as you wear it means that someday, somehow, we will get married, have kids and grow old with each other." Troy declared. Sharpay was so happy that she failed to say anything, which made Troy very nervous, "So what do you say?"

"Of course, I'll marry you Troy and I don't care where or when as long as it's you that I'm going to marry" Sharpay said as she placed her lips on his. Troy cupped her face as he deepened the kiss; he traced his tongue on her lips, begging for entrance which she automatically granted. They pulled hesitantly pulled away when the need for oxygen became crucial.

Their foreheads pressed against each other "I love you Sharpay Michelle Evans" He said

"I love you too Troy Alexander Bolton" She replied.
