Soo sooo sorry for the long wait!! High school is pretty crazy!! However, after about a month, I figured out that if I didn't have homework, I could go down to the library during study hall, and use the computers! How about that!! Anyway, about the story. Poor Ryan was all angsty in the last chapter, not liking Troy and feeling left out and all. In this chapter, Sharpay and him talk about the summer. Sharpay realizes she made a big mistake as well! Good stuff. Well, sorry again, and here you go! Enjoy!

S- I'm not doing it until you show me what you wrote.

R- I don't have to. Anyway, you agreed to do this. I didn't force you to, ask you to, or anything.You volunteered. You want another shot at fame. I was just writing to rant.

S- Well, I could comment on some of the stuff you wrote, and it would be easier to write this then, because I'm no writer like Kelsi is.

R- Well let me give you a hint of what I wrote then. I wrote about how I only helped and supported you through the years, the only person (other than Mom and Dad) who did, and you tossed me aside like yesterday's…..whatever yesterday's fashion was.

S- That would be sneakers. Flats are in now.

R- Whatever. The point is, you completely pushed me aside, ignored me, and then thought I would just pop back up and do whatever you wanted.

S- I did not. I didn't ignore you…I just paid more attention to Troy.

R- rolls eyes Same difference.

S- Oh yeah? And what was up with you and Gabriella?

R- I, unlike you, actually wanted to make friends. And she was the only one really offering at the time.

S- Did you have a crush on her?

S- Ryan?

R- No! What would make you think that?

S- I don't know; maybe because you guys were always flirting.

R- We weren't flirting. Just because your version of "friends" usually involves people you wanna date, doesn't mean mine is the same.

S- True, but you weren't acting the same around Kelsi or Taylor or Martha were you?

S- Or maybe you were acting that way around Martha. Do you like her?

R- Did we NOT go over this last time? She is a friend, and that is all. I was just hanging out with her, because I had no one else to hang out with, and everyone else was paired up already.

S- Yeah, and speaking of hanging out with people, since when are you and Chad Danforth friends?

R- Since I showed him that I was really good at baseball, and that he could dance.

S- CHAD DANFORTH?!?! DANCING?!?!?! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!! Now that I gotta see!!! OMG, that is priceless.

R- waits for Sharpay to get up off the floor after falling out of her chair from laughing so hard. Okay, she's up. Yes, I convinced him he could dance. And he did. Powers of persuasion run in the family, I guess.

S- Okay, and since when do you play baseball.

S- Why are you giving me that look? The only time I saw you play baseball was when you played in Little League, and you were, like, ten or something.

R- slowly, with patience of explaining something to a toddler. Sharpay, that team that I was on was the best in the entire country. I picked up some skills while playing on it, and I still have those skills today. Okay?

S- I am NOT a toddler!! They throw tantrums, scream when they don't get their way, and ignore people who talk sense!!

S- I AM NOT LIKE THAT!!! STOP GIVING ME THAT ANNOYING LOOK!!!

R- chuckles evilly I love torturing you.

S- Yeah, I'll bet so.

R- So anyway, we've wasted almost two pages talking about absolutely nothing at all.

S- Okay, I had Troy get a job, so I would have someone to hang with this summer. Happy?

R- Not really. That doesn't explain why it had to be a secret from everyone, and why you were upset when you learned that you had even more friends to hang with, and why I was completely ignored while you were hanging with your "friends."

S- What would be the point in shouting to the world that Troy Bolton was coming to work at our club?

R- I don't know, but that's normally what you would do; shout something as "amazing" as that to the whole world.

S- I'm not that dramatic.

R-……… I'm not gonna even bother attempting to answer that one.

S- Why not?

R- You seriously want an answer to that one? You saying that you're not dramatic? You might as well say that the earth is flat and that water isn't wet.

S- Oh please, if I was that dramatic, I would say that some people should be put to death if they don't wear the right styles. Or that Math is another language that nobody will ever understand, and should be destroyed immediately.

R- Actually, a lot of people probably agree with you on the last one. But Sharpay, you are a little more dramatic than most people.

S- Whatever. I'm not that bad.

R- If you say so. Now, why didn't you want the others to be there?

S- Gabriella, (now is my friend) but she used to annoy me sooo much!!! She stole my role from me, when she already had something to do, she stole my first crush from me, my favorite teacher's respect, and my brother.

R- Really? Well, I was under the impression, that Troy took you from me.

S- Well you were wrong there. I willingly wanted to hang out with him.

R- Well I willingly was friends with Gabriella.

R- We have problems communicating sis.

S- That's for sure.

R- Sooo, that still doesn't explain why you were ignoring me. And then you wondered why I was mad at you.

S- I guess I figured that you would always be there for me, no matter what.

R- Well you've gotta treat me the way you want to be treated. Although, I'm not too fond of becoming a princess or something.

S- I don't act like a princess.

R- You sometimes act like you should be treated like a princess.

R- sees steam coming out of his sister's ears and tries to make it better Only sometimes though not always!!

S- Why do you do that?

R- What, make fun of you? That's what brothers do. It's our job.

S- No, you put in what you're thinking, with the little stars.

R- I believe they are called "asterisks."

S- Oh no, you've been hanging around with Gabriella so long, you've become a brainiac!! The horror!!

R- Me? A brainiac? Please, I barely passed Algebra II last year. I only did because I had a tutor.

S- Who just happened to be Gabriella.

R- That sing-songy voice of yours is very annoying.

S- I know, that's why I use it!

R- Anyway, treat me nice, and I won't back out on you again.

S- Geez, it sounds like you're threatening me!

R- I kinda am. cue ominous music.

S- Whatever.

R- So how did it feel to have everyone back out on you?

S- How did you think it felt? I did all these nice things for Troy, including getting him a college education for FREE!!!! And he ditches me! And I'm left in the dust, my talent show taken over!

R- True, Troy did just throw everything you did for him out the window. But I'm just saying, you didn't really participate in the talent show, so why was Fulton gonna give you the award?

S- I honestly don't know.

R- What you did was the most surprising thing in my entire life. Seriously.

S- Really? Why?

R- I don't know. Maybe because it was the first time you were ever nice to me!

S- I've been nice to you before.

R- Not giving me an award! One that you won by yourself! Even though you didn't do any work for it.

S- I did too do work for it. Nothing worked out in my way though. I had two songs memorized, which included choreography and special effects, I had to organize the other acts, AND everything with Troy.

R- Actually, I ended up organizing most of the acts, I memorized a song that you threw out the window, (which had a very stupid costume as well, that was so pointless for me to wear.) and I had to organize the Wildcats into a song and dance number. Now that was NOT easy! The only people who had any experience with this kinda stuff were Gabriella and Kelsi. And that was outta about 30 people. I had my work cut out for me!

S- I'm sure you did, trying to get jocks to sing and dance.

R- True, but they weren't that bad.

S- Hmm, I guess so. But I'm mad that I missed Chad dancing. I didn't even see him!

R- Someone must have taped it. We just gotta ask around.

S- I guess so.

R- Sooo……

S- Sooo…..

R- What do you wanna talk about?

S- I don't know, this was your idea.

R- No, it was yours.

S- You're the one who came up with the whole thing.

R- I didn't "come up" with anything. I was just….ranting, I guess you could call it, and somebodystole my personal stuff, and now it's published to the whole world.

S- I didn't steal it. I wouldn't have even looked at if, if you hadn't left it lying around in such an obvious place.

R- It was under my mattress. And that's a place that people normally look at, like the top of a dresser, or lying on a table. note the sarcasm there

S- I was actually looking for my CD that you stole from me.

R- Sharpay. Surprisingly enough, many people don't like being woke up every morning at 5:30 in the morning, to that stupid Spice Girls song that you blast as your radio. I stole it because I was slowly and surely going insane.

S- What song, Wannabe? I love that song!! And it's really energetic!!

R- It is the most annoying song in the history of the universe. And do you know how fun it is to wake up every morning at 5:30? Not fun at all. And having that song playing makes it worse.

S- Well you could've told me that! I would've changed the song!

R- The point was that I didn't want to listen to ANY music! I like peace and quiet that early. And you would've picked an even more annoying song.

S- Whatever.

R- So another question I had concerning this summer. Why did you want to sing with Troy in the talent show, and not me. We always won before.

S- Well……and don't take this the wrong way, but…..

R- What?

S- Well…..he beat you in the auditions last time, and I thought he must be better than you then, and if I performed with him, then I would be perfectly good for the talent show, and I could perform with him next year.

R- And what about me? Did my feelings not matter? You didn't hear him. Troy didn't even want to do the talent show with Gabi or anyone. He said he was done with singing and stuff. He doesn't even care about it that much. Gabi does, but he doesn't.

S- When did you hear this?

R- When you sent me to spy on them, and I saw them perform "You Are The Music In Me."

S- Oh.

R- He doesn't actually put any effort into it. It's all basketball with him. He didn't care, while I did, and you picked him over me.

S- I really hurt your feelings then, didn't I?

R- Yeah you did.

S- Wow. Now I see how you must be feeling. Troy really took a lot away from you. Including Gabriella, because we all know you had a crush on her.

R- FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME I DIDN'T NOT, HAVE NOT, AND NEVER WILL HAVE A CRUSH ON HER!!

S- If you say so.

S- Will you accept my apology?

R- I suppose so……IF YOU WILL STOP SAYING THAT!!

S- Okay, I guess so.

R- Thank you.

R- So, I guess that ends this.

S- Aw, I was actually having fun!

R- Really?

S- Yeah. And I got to spend some quality time with my brother. And I realized my mistake.

R- Call the press!! Call the newspapers, TV, magazines everything!!! Sharpay Evans has admitted she made a mistake!!! It's a miracle!!!!

S- Oh shut up.

R- I love you too Sharpay.

S- Well, I've got to go. I've got a hair appointment in 30 minutes. Toodles!

R- Well, now you have heard Sharpay's side of the story. A little more convincing than last time I suppose. She had a legit reason this time. She wanted friends, but she only wanted to be friends with certain people. And she was willing to push me away. Again. But most surprisingly, she realized her mistake, and she actually apologized to me! That surprised me more than anything at all that happened this summer. At least I have my sister on my side, and not Troy's. Although as Chad would say, that could either be an advantage, or a disadvantage. This little note isnt gonna all be in the story, but its gonna be for my personal rememberance. I'll put in the summary of what Sharpay said, but I'll leave the Troy part out. So, until then I guess!

R&R Please!!! I only got 8 on the last chappie, and I just loooove reviews! (Who doesnt?)
