Sharpay walked into school. This time she had a second bruise and a cut of her left leg. She wore pink tracksuit bottoms. Troy could have sworn she was limping. "Uh Hi Shar" He said.

"Oh hey Troy" Sharpay waved.

In Lunch.

Troy was talking to Gabriella, Chad, Taylor and Kelsi. "Look I swear something is up with her" Troy started.

"Me too, it's like she's being protective of her arm" Gabriella said.

"She's probably just hurt or something," Chad said.

"Yeah but she would have told someone" Kelsi continued.

"But she does like to stay personal" Taylor said.

"So we're her friends, she's our friend." Gabriella said.

"I'm going to find out what's up with her," Troy said.

"Like how?" Chad asked.

"I'm going to ask her if I can walk her home and then I'll find out" Troy said, getting up.

"You know it won't be that easy," Kelsi said.

"Yeah I know" Troy said, walking away.

….

The Bell Rang for the end of school.

"Hey Shar do you want me to walk you home?" Troy asked.

"Um…well" Sharpay stuttered.

"Come on, Ryan isn't here" Troy said.

"Okay" Sharpay said.

Troy smiled and the two started to walk.

"So how have you been today?" Troy asked.

"Pretty much okay" Sharpay lied. "You?"

"Never better" Troy laughed.

"That's good to hear" Sharpay giggled.

Troy stopped. "Shar listen, what's wrong with you? You never used to be this sad," Troy said.

"What made you so caring?" Sharpay fought back.

"Because I like you!" Troy said.

Sharpay was stunned and shocked.

"No please just tell me," Troy pleaded.

"Okay! Okay!" Sharpay gave up. "Here."

She held out her arm. Troy easily got confused.

"What?" Troy asked.

"Unroll the sleeve," She said.

Troy unrolled her sleeve, shocked; he saw a dark bruise covering most of her arm. "What happened?" Troy asked.

"Well you see…my dad…he" Sharpay stopped.

"He what?" Troy determined.

"He hurts me okay," Sharpay said, walking away.

"Why?" Troy questioned as he quickly caught up.

"My Mom…died in a accident" Sharpay said, tears trickled down her soft cheeks.

"Oh I'm sorry" Troy apologized.

"It's okay. My Dad took it out on me and that's why" Sharpay explained.

"But your leg…" Troy said.

"My dad threw some glass at it, I'd rather not talk about it" Sharpay answered.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Troy asked.

"Because then they'll go all caring and I'd be exposed," Sharpay said.

"But you can deal with it" Troy said as they stopped in front of Sharpay's house.

"Yeah but-" Sharpay was cut off by Troy's lips touching hers.

The two broke off for air. Sharpay blushed.

Troy could see her smile.

He leaned in for a second kiss but…

Oooo

Cliffy! Didn't see that coming did ya?!

You probably did.
