Chapter 3

The bright morning sun shone into Sharpay's eyes as they fluttered open. She attempted to sit up but realized that she couldn't because Troy had his arms wrapped around her. She turned herself around and was staring straight into his ocean blue eyes. Sharpay leaned forward and gently kissed his lips. "Good morning." She rested her head on his chest and just then did she remember that they were both completely naked. She smiled to herself and looked up at him.

"Good morning to you too." Troy said while running his hands through her soft blonde hair. "Last night was amazing."

"I know. It really was." She looked quickly over at the alarm clock and noticed that it was already nine o' clock. "We should probably get up. You're parents are probably wondering why you're sleeping so late." As if on cue, a female voice could be heard through the door.

"Troy, Sharpay, why don't you two put your clothes back on and come down and get some breakfast." Lucy Bolton said. Sharpay blushed a deep red and buried her head under the covers.

"Mom!" Troy yelled. "That is so embarrassing."

"Sorry honey but I couldn't resist." She could be heard laughing to herself as she walked away from the door. Sharpay once again looked up at Troy.

"How the hell did she know? She didn't talk to my mom did she?"

"Well, we weren't exactly quiet last night and I have no idea of when they got home from the party. But, yes, she talked to your mom. You can't blame them, Pay, they're best friends; they talk about everything together, including their children's sex lives."

"That is so weird."

"I know." Troy scooted to the edge of the bed and stood up, wrapping the sheet around him. "We need to get up before she comes back and just decides to let herself right on in." He searched his dresser for boxers and a t-shirt and by the time he turned around Sharpay was pulling her shirt on over her head. She turned around and walked over to him.

"Are you ready to face the most awkward thing ever?" She sounded serious but she had a smile on her face so he knew she was just messing around.

"Yeah, let's just not bring this up, okay?" Troy opened his bedroom door and shut it behind them.

"Trust me, I wasn't planning on it." They walked through the swinging doors that led into the kitchen and sat down quietly at the breakfast table. Lucy and Jack were already sitting there drinking coffee. Sharpay could feel eyes boring into her skull from across the table. She looked up and saw Lucy and Jack both smiling at her, causing her to blush again. She turned to Troy and quickly said, "Troy, I should probably get home; I'm sure my parents are wondering where I am." She leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Bye, thanks for letting me stay over."

She hurriedly walked into the foyer and grabbed her purse. While searching for her keys, she felt a pair of hands on her waist, causing her to jump. She turned around to face Troy. "Wow, Pay. Thanks for leaving me alone with them." He smiled and pulled her closer.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't stand them staring at me anymore; it was driving me crazy."

"It's ok. But that weak cheek kiss isn't going to make up for it." He leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss that was probably a bit too passionate for his foyer. Sharpay dropped her purse, causing a loud thud and bringing them back to reality. She looked him in the eyes and quietly said, "I love you."

"I love you too, Pay." Sharpay leant down, picked up her purse and her keys and stepped out the door. After getting into her Range Rover, she started it up and pulled away from the Bolton house.

"Mom, do you know where Sharpay is? She's not in her room and I looked everywhere." Ryan Evans came bounding down the stairs and into the kitchen where his mother was making breakfast. As Evangeline turned around to answer her son's question, she heard the front door open and slam.

"I think that's her now." Sure enough, Sharpay walked into the kitchen humming. She sat down at the bar and realized her mother and brother staring at her.

"What?"

"I'm guessing that Troy's went well?" Evangeline laughed at her adolescent daughter so in love.

"Yeah, it did. We're back together and everything's fine." She stood up to leave but paused in the doorway leading to the stairs. "Oh and Mom?"

"Yes, honey?" Evangeline continued to stir the eggs in front of her.

"You were right."

"About what sweetheart?"

"The make-up sex was amazing." Sharpay smiled and quickly ran up the stairs and on her way up she could still hear a muffled Ryan screaming 'la, la, la' and her mother scolding him that he was 'going to wake the dead'.

Once she reached her room at the end of the hallway, she flung open her French doors and jumped on her bed, snuggling with her favorite teddy bear in the process. After a few moments, she stood up and opened her balcony doors and let the sunshine land on her face. It was pretty cold outside, being the Thanksgiving holiday but Sharpay barely noticed because of her overjoyed mood. Another thing she also barely noticed was Gabriella standing behind her; so much that she had to clear her throat to get her attention.

"Hey Gabi. What are you doing here?"

"Ryan called me and told me to come over because you would have some news for me or something."

"Oh, well it's not that big. Troy and I got back together last night and had the most amazing make-up sex. And now all of our parents are aware that we are "sexually active" like my mother likes to say."

"That's great, Pay! Not that I would really know about amazing sex or anything but I am really happy for you." She smiled and hugged Sharpay briefly.

"So why don't we have a girls day today?" she paused when her phone beeped and looked back to Gabriella. "Actually, could we make that a girls + Troy day? He wants to hang out."

"Yeah, totally. So, you wouldn't mind if I brought someone, right?" Gabriella looked shyly at her hands.

"Oh my god, who???"

"Ryan."

"Did he finally ask you out?" Sharpay looked oh so excited when she heard this news.

"Yeah, a couple of days ago. We were going to tell you when you came in town but with all of the Troy drama yesterday, we figured it wouldn't be smart to bring it up."

"This is so exciting! We have to look extra cute when we go to the mall! You can just wear something of mine and get ready here."

"OK." Sharpay grabbed her hand and pulled her inside with her. She pulled closed her balcony doors and swiftly pulled the curtains closed.
