Hi to you all! Thank you so much for the feedback! We really appreciated it. Here's the next chapter, and yeah… we hope you enjoy this too! And just so you know, I (Stessa) have been doing some thinking, and I'm positive that I've started to lose my mind. Just if any of you cared…
Disclaimer; As you probably know, there's a lot we don't own… Examples? Hmm, High School Musical, That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and… Jesse McCartney. Yeah, it's sad, but hmm… What can you do?
The Crazy Life of Libby Lee
Chapter 2.
What's a Matching Whisk and Bowl Set?
The sound of her alarm clock woke Sharpay with a bang. She sat up in bed, and hit her head against the wall. Just great. She rubbed her head with a sigh. She had a pounding headache, it wasn't just from the wall, it was also from her concert two days ago.
When they'd arrived home yesterday, Ryan came a half an hour later, and forced her to work on some dance moves, and all she had really wanted to do was sleep. But she hadn't been able to, so when she'd crawled into bed last night at 9:30., she had fallen asleep immediately, but apparently she hadn't slept enough.
Sharpay stood out of bed, and shivered when her feet hit the cold floor. She hurried into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready before school. She should probably also take a pill for headache.
When she was done, she went downstairs, to find her mother eating breakfast. Ryan was probably still asleep, he always slept late, and got ready ten minutes before they had to leave.
"Morning Sharpay," Rachel smiled, pouring apple juice into a cup. She placed it in front of her daughter, who had taken a seat by the table, "How's my little popstar doing?"
"She has a mayor headache!" Sharpay exclaimed, taking a sip of the juice, "And she's so not gonna be able to go through a school day. Can she please stay home?"
Rachel shook her head, "Don't you remember what I told you when you got into this singing thing?" she paused, "I told you that it shouldn't change a single thing about your school work. You have to stay focused on your studies, because after all… school is the most important thing."
"I know, I know." Sharpay smiled, "And don't worry… I'll do my best, and… not fall asleep in class."
"That's my girl," Rachel laughed, "Oh, and remember, you have a meeting with Raven at 5:30. And after that, Jesse is taking you out."
"Okay, so Sharpay has a meeting with Raven, and Libby has a date with Jesse." Sharpay smiled, "Got it."
"Great," Rachel said, just as a bang was heard, "And I do believe that was your brother getting out of bed right now, so that means you have to leave for school. Have a good day, honey."
"I love you mom." Sharpay smiled, kissing her mother's cheek. She grabbed her books from the table and went outside, just as Rachel called;
"I love you too!"
--
Sharpay shot herself into homeroom at school, beat out already. There was still 15 minutes until the bell sounded, so maybe she could sneak some sleep.
"Sharpay!?" Gabriella smiled, sitting down on her desk, "You gotta see this!"
"What is it?" Sharpay yawned.
Gabriella waved a couple of pictures in front of her nose, "Troy and I went to a Libby and Hannah concert this Saturday!"
"Yeah, I know," Sharpay said, not really paying attention.
"You do?" Gabriella questioned, "How do you know?"
"You've been going on and on about seeing Hannah Montana for two months now, that's why." Sharpay said, tiredly resting her head in Gabriella's lap.
"Oh," Gabriella smiled, "But anyway! Can you claim to have met Hannah Montana!?"
"Oh, more than you believe." Sharpay mumbled, closing her eyes.
"Sharpay, what is the matter with you!?" Gabriella yelled, pushing her head away from her lap. She jumped down from Sharpay's desk, and smothered her clothes, as Sharpay's head hit the table in stead of Gabriella's lap, missing her soft pillow, "I come here to tell you something awesome and show you pictures and everything! And you just! Duh, you just sleep!"
"I'm sorry, Gabby," Sharpay yawned again, rubbing her eyes, "But I'm really tired. I'll sleep through my first classes and listen to you during lunch break, okay?"
"Okay!" Gabriella smiled, jumping happily down to the other end of the class, taking her seat.
Just then, Troy took his seat next to Sharpay, "Good morning, Shar, I see you're tired?"
"You have no idea!" Sharpay yammered, "I had the hardest weekend, ever! It was like, duh, give me some space people! And my friend London, she was all over my boyfriend, and I just…"
"Fun." Troy commented, "But not as much fun as I had! I saw Libby Lee in real life!"
"Congratulations." Sharpay sarcastically replied, planting her head in her hands again.
"Thank you," Troy commented, "No offence to you, but seriously; she's the hottest person alive on this earth!"
"What!?" Sharpay's shrieked, waking up immediately.
"Oh, I knew it'd bother you." Troy teased, "You're hot and all, Shar, but you're no Libby Lee."
Sharpay shot him a look, "That's what you think."
Troy was about to say something back, but the bell rang, and Mrs. Darbus entered the class, calling them for attention. She started going on about cell phones and some sort of musical, but Sharpay didn't listen. She managed to close her eyes for just 5 minutes…
How she managed to actually get through her first lessons, was a mystery for Sharpay herself, but now she was actually sitting in the cafeteria, digging her fork into her chicken salad, watching those lame pictures Gabriella was showing her of Hannah and herself.
"And this one…" Troy said, holding up his hand, "Was touched by Libby Lee, during one of her songs."
Sharpay rolled her eyes, "How cool." She said. It was lame. Troy touched her everyday, not that he really wanted to, but still. She was Libby Lee. If she could just tell them, her life would be so much easier. She wouldn't be forced to listen to this.
"I think Hannah is cooler." Ryan said.
"What?!" Sharpay shrieked, shooting a glance at Ryan, "How can you think Hannah is cooler? What kind of brother are you!? I- I mean Libby is way cooler than Hannah! Besides, Hannah is way too young for you, if that's what you're going at…"
"Well…" Ryan begun.
"On the other hand!" Sharpay said, just realizing something, "It would be really gross if you found Libby Lee hot. Seriously, it would. Please stick with Hannah!?"
"What's the matter, Shar?" Ryan said, "Didn't you get enough sleep?"
"Wait a minute…" Taylor said, holding on to her Trendy Teen Magazine, "It says here Hannah is 14 years old, and Libby is 15. How did you know Hannah was younger?"
"Well, obviously!" Sharpay said, "…I read that magazine."
"But you said the other night that you hate these kind of magazines." Taylor said, "You said that they do nothing but pass on rumours about famous people, and all they do is lie."
Sharpay paused, looking around at the table, "A girl can change her mind, can't she?"
"Is there a poster of Libby in there?" Troy asked, pointing at the magazine, "'Cause if there is, can I have it? I already have 20, but I could use another one!"
"Troy!?" Gabriella said, "You're like, in love with this person! And you don't even know her, you only like her because of her looks. Urgh!"
"I think she'd be prettier as a blonde." Sharpay observed, stuffing a tomato into her mouth.
"Sharpay," Chad said, "Just because you're blonde, doesn't mean everyone is pretty as a blonde. I like Libby Lee with black hair! She wouldn't be Libby Lee without it!"
"Yeah, she'd look like an idiot with blonde hair." Troy said.
"Wow, thank you Troy, you're so sweet today." Sharpay sarcastically said, smiling at him.
"I wasn't talking about all blondes," Troy said, "You're pretty as a blonde, but Libby Lee would look like a dork!"
"Well then!" Sharpay said, stuffing a carrot into her mouth.
"Uhm, Shar?" Ryan said, "You may not want to swallow that."
"What, Ryan?"
"You're allergic to carrots and you just stuffed one into your mouth!"
Sharpay started screaming and jumped up from her seat, and started bouncing around to cafeteria, coughing all the small pieces of carrot into her hand, "Ew, ew, ew!" she said, sitting down again, "… does anybody have a napkin?"
Gabriella handed her one, "Here you go."
"That's weird." Troy said, "Libby Lee is allergic to carrots too!"
"That's it, Troy!" Gabriella said, standing up, "You know so much about her, it's freakish! It's sick! You're practically invading her privacy!"
"Hey, calm down, Gabby!" Troy said, "It's not like I buy all those freaking magazines like Ryan does, because he's in love with Hannah Montana!"
"You're what!?" Sharpay shrieked, "You're in love with Hannah… MONTANA!?"
"She's hot!" Ryan said.
"Oh God!" Sharpay mumbled, getting her things together, "This is not happening!" She shot a glance at her friends and hurried out of the cafeteria, "My brother can't be in love with my best friend!" she hissed, smacking the door to the girls bathroom close.
--
"… and it's just, urgh mom!" Sharpay said, "I wish I could tell them! Especially him!"
"Come on, Sharpay," Rachel laughed, "If you told them, you'd miss all those embarrassing and right down humiliating moments, and I wouldn't get my laugh of the day, when you told me!"
"It's not funny, mom!" Sharpay said, pulling her hair, "All he ever talks about is Libby Lee. He's practically in love with her! If he knew it was me, maybe he'd go out with me! I just… I like him so much, mom."
"You really do." Rachel proclaimed, tucking a piece of her daughter's hair behind her ear, "But then why is Libby dating Jesse? That's not fair to him."
"I like Jesse." Sharpay said, "He's cool and sweet, and the best boyfriend I've ever had. And him and Libby fit so well together. But he'd never fit with me, regular Sharpay. Troy would fit with both my personalities, I know he would. Jesse is great and all.. but he's no Troy Bolton."
"I'm sorry, Sharpay." Rachel said, "But you really have to get ready now. The private yet leaves in 30 minutes for you to go see Raven."
"Okay then." Sharpay said, "I'll have to pack my Libby things, for when I have my date. Raven wont mind if I change at her place. She's cool about my two personalities."
"At least someone ain't freaking out about it." Rachel said, "How did you meet Raven anyway?"
"Hannah recommended her designs." Sharpay said, "I got her number from Hannah, but called her as Sharpay, and after awhile I had to tell her why I needed all those fancy dresses, and I really trusted her. She hasn't told Hannah and Lola yet. She hasn't told anyone about my true self."
"Okay, tell her hi from me, right?" Rachel said, "And uh, if Chelsea is there, please ask her to return my matching whisk and bowl set."
"Does Chelsea have your matching whisk and bowl set?" Sharpay asked.
Rachel just nodded, biting her lip.
"Why!?"
"I dunno," Rachel said, "One time you and Raven had a meeting and we were sitting outside talking about food, and kitchen applies, and… I told her about my matching whisk and bowl set, and… she just had to borrow it…"
Sharpay froze, shooting her mother a weird look, "What did I ever do to you?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you give birth to me!?" Sharpay shrieked, storming out of the kitchen.
--
Sharpay knocked on the door to the Baxter's home, patiently waiting for Raven to come and open it. There went sometime, and nothing happened. Either Cory was home, or Raven was really busy.
The door finally opened, and Sharpay was pulled into a huge hug by Raven, "Hey sister!"
"Hey Rae…" Sharpay smiled, "What's up?"
"Waiting for you!" Raven said, "Come on!"
They went inside, and Sharpay wasn't surprised to find Chelsea sitting on the couch. "Hi Chels, what's up?"
"I'll go now…" Chelsea said, getting up to leave, "I have to go buy some more ´Kissy Fresh´ to get kissy breath!"
"Oh by the way…" Sharpay said, remembering the talk she had with her mother, "My mom wants her matching whisk and bowl set back."
Chelsea looked disappointed, "Oh! I thought she'd forgotten about it! Now I have to go find it!" she went for the door, but paused there, "Not that I… lost it or anything. 'Cause I wouldn't do that! No, I just have to… pick it up! I'll step by before you leave. Bye girls!" she went outside, and the door smacked close.
"Okay then!" Sharpay said.
"Yeah…" Raven said, "So listen girl, I was thinking, something red or blue, those colours always go with you. When are you wearing this dress anyway?"
"At Libby's next show with Hannah." Sharpay said, following Raven up the stairs, "Just… if you're helping with hers too, can you make them match?"
"Sure, anything for you, girlfriend." Raven said. She sat down on her bed, and started flipping through a couple of books. When she found the right one, she turned the book around, to give Sharpay a look, "I was thinking something like this?"
"Oh, Rae!" Sharpay squealed, clapping her hands together, "That's so great! I bet it'd look fabulouso on me!"
"Yeah, I thought so too." Raven said, "And who's great? Me, Raven Baxter!"
Sharpay laughed, "Yup, so what? Need to find out what size, or colours, or what?"
"I have all your old sizes!" Raven said, "But maybe I could…" she suddenly froze, and started staring into space.
Sharpay looked at her, "Oh God, Raven!" she panicked, even though she knew, it was only one of her visions, it still freaked her out whenever Raven did that, when they were together. It was freakish.
Raven suddenly unfroze and looked at her.
"Did you just have a vision?"
"Yes," Raven said, standing up from her bed, "I have a feeling…" she trailed off, "That you're gonna get in trouble."
"Huh?" Sharpay said, "Me? Or me Libby?"
"You stood there!" Raven said, holding out her left hand, "But you also stood there!" she held out her right hand; "…there was two of you."
"Me?"
"Yes, the right hand was you, taking off your Libby wig, but the left hand was you… looking like you always do."
"How can there be two of me?" Sharpay questioned.
"I don't know!" Raven said, "But I just remembered something… You remind me an awful lot of a friend of mine."
"A friend who?"
"This girl…" Raven said, sitting down again, "She works at the Tipton."
"You mean, where London lives?"
"Yes!" Raven said.
"So Rae…" Sharpay trailed off, changing the subject back, "What more happened in that dream? You said I was taking off my wig?"
"Yes." Raven repeated, "You were, in front of a lot of different people, whom I don't know. But they were looking kinda shocked. Why would you take off your wig?"
"I don't know…" Sharpay said, "I'll have to think about this… If you see anything else, please do call me?"
"I will." Just then the doorbell rang, and Raven stood up, "That's probably Chelsea with your mother's matching whisk and bowl set. Hurry up and change to your Libby dress, and then you have to head out and meet Jesse soon, okay?"
"Sure," Sharpay smiled, watching as Raven left the room. She quickly changed into Libby Lee and got everything together. Yeah, this was gonna be a long night, and a even longer school day tomorrow…

Jesse opened the door to the limo and Libby went in. Jesse jumped in himself and closed the door. Libby smiled at him. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on her soft lips. Libby thought he looked really cute in his jeans and his white t-shirt. He looked so normal, and yet so cool.
"So, where are you taking me?" Libby asked and planted another kiss on his lips.
"You'll see." Jesse said, mysteriously. He kissed her neck. Libby loved when he did that. It was so soft and teasing, so she couldn't help but let out a quiet moan.
The limo stopped and the door got opened by the driver. Jesse got out first and offered his help to Libby. When she got out she saw a wonderful sight. They were on a beautiful beach, not a soul, except them. Jesse took her hand and led her near the water. There was a blanket filled with goodies. Like strawberries with chocolate, and that kind of stuff.
"McCartney, have you done all this for me?" Libby asked softly. She was so surprised.
"Yes, so sit down and take whatever you want." Jesse said. He smiled at her, God he loved to surprise her. Just the look on her face, it made all the trouble worth it. Libby sat down on the blanket and grabbed a strawberry. Jesse poured some kiddies champagne, that non-alcoholic stuff, and gave her the glass.
"So, how was your day?" Libby asked. She took a sip of the champagne.
"Well, boring. I have missed you all day. Just been looking forward to this." Jesse said and lifted his glass; "To us."
Libby lifted her glass too and they clinked their glasses, "To us."
Libby took another strawberry and looked at Jesse.
"How about you? What have you been doing?" Jesse asked.
"Well, I have been to school, really boring. Then I had a meeting with my tailor, Raven." Libby told him, "Oh, yeah. Then my mom asked me to bring her matching whisk and bowl set back. Chelsea borrowed it from her sometime-I-dunno-when, and I don't know why she even borrowed it. It was totally weird."
"What the hell is a matching whisk and bowl set?!" Jesse looked confused.
"Something you use for cooking." Libby explained, not really knowing for sure.
"Maybe that is why I don't know what it is. I never set foot in a kitchen." Jesse confessed.
Libby started to giggle, "You are so funny!" she said.
"I wasn't trying to be funny." Jesse said, softly punching her arm, "Stop laughing at me. It's not funny!"
Libby kept on laughing, "God, I have missed you." Libby said through all her laughs, "Your cute smile and all your funny jokes."
"Stop laughing or I'll give you a really good reason to laugh!" Jesse exclaimed.
She looked at him, but after a minute she giggled again. Jesse started to tickle her. It made her laugh even more.
"Stop, Jesse!" she stuttered between her laughs.
He stopped, and shot her an innocent look.
"You are so mean. You know I hate it when people tickle me!"
He leaned in and gave her a kiss. "But you love it when I do that!" Jesse said and kissed her again, more passionately.
"You know, I shouldn't have eaten all those chocolate covered strawberries if you're gonna kiss me." Libby said, "It's really gross."
"Well, I'm not gonna stop." Jesse said.
"Then I could really use some of Chelsea's ´Kissy Fresh´."
"Oh, shut up!" Jesse said, and pulled her in for another kiss. This one was even more passionate. Then he pulled away again.
"Wow." Libby exclaimed, after that kiss.
"I know I'm amazing." Jesse whispered softly into her ear.
"Not you. The sunset!" Libby lied, pointing at the sun. It was red, almost as red as blood. The sky was purple. Jesse put his arm around Libby. She laid her head on his shoulder. "But you are cute too." she whispered sexily into his ear. He looked into her brown eyes. She closed her eyes and leaned in. He kissed her softly on her lips.
He loved her so much.
So that was chapter 2. Hope you all enjoyed it. And Raven got mixed into everything, later, we'll mix everything even more together. Please leave us a review, cause we loved them! And yeah, we'll be back as soon as possible ;p
Tootles, MelleG and Stessa.
Peace out!
