(That's What You Do)
When You Love Someone
Chapter Three
Milk?
This morning Sharpay had woken Gabriella up by blowing into her ear, which might not have been as good as the song from yesterday, but was still very enjoyable. Gabriella was, therefore, in a good mood when the two girls entered East High, arms linked together. But it didn't really surprise her; she was always in such a good mood whenever she was with her friend. Her mother had made them pasta salad for lunch; filled with everything the two girls loved. There was no mushrooms in Gabriella's since she didn't like them, and no tomatoes for Sharpay, since she was allergic.
"Let's go check the bulletin board!" Sharpay suggested and dragged Gabriella with her to the board. They were both excited to see who their partner was, but according to Sharpay, Gabriella had nothing to worry about. She just hoped Sharpay knew Ms. Farber as much as she said she did. Sharpay hugged Gabriella's hand tightly and let out a squeal when she saw Gabriella's name next to hers, "Look!" she said, and turned her head to Gabriella's, happiness in her eyes, "We're partners, I told you so, didn't I?"
Gabriella moved her finger to the paper, and let it rest against her own name for a second or two, as if she really couldn't believe this. They were really partners? She would get to spend time with Sharpay while working on an important project? That was just the best! She turned to Sharpay again and happily hugged the blonde, "Yes!" she said, and kept Sharpay in her arms longer than she probably should have.
Sharpay didn't seem to mind though, but eventually, she did push Gabriella off of her, "I know I'm great girl, but no need to hug me to death." Sharpay kidded, and jokingly bumped her hip into Gabriella's.
"I expect the best from you two now."
They both turned around and came face to faces with Ms. Farber. The young teacher had a smile on her face, but a hand on each hip. She was trying to give them a stern look, but the laughter playing in her eyes, kinda ruined that for her.
"Of course, Ms. Farber." Sharpay quickly said, and placed a hand on the teacher's shoulder, "You can look forward to the best project ever. Gabriella and I – we make a great team."
Gabriella nodded in the background. She didn't have Ms. Farber in any classes, so she just nodded, as if what Sharpay was saying, was nothing but the truth, when really – she couldn't even guarantee that.
"Alright, alright." Ms. Farber said, and studied the girls for a couple of more seconds, "I'll be looking forward to that, then." She finished, before she turned around and went down the hall.
Sharpay shot Gabriella a cocky smile, "Putty in my hands." She whispered, with that certain Sharpay expression.
"I heard that, Ms. Evans!" Ms. Farber exclaimed from down the hall, and gave Sharpay another glare before she turned a corner.
Gabriella and Sharpay broke into giggles before they turned around to get to their lockers. Gabriella's was right down the hall, so they were going there first. On the way, Gabriella had to ask Sharpay about something. She caught sight of Ryan and was reminded of yesterday's weird lunch where everyone had been hiding something, and Sharpay told her she'd get it out of her brother.
Gabriella glanced briefly at Ryan, and managed to just open her mouth, before Sharpay interrupted her, "No." she said, as they stopped by Gabriella's locker, "I couldn't get it out of him. He kept brushing me off during dinner, and after that he just kept on avoiding me."
"Really?" Gabriella questioned, as she opened up her locker, to find her books for first period. She was rather confused about this. Yesterday, after Sharpay had left, she had thought a lot about this 'secret' conversation during lunch, and how everyone seemed to be hiding something from her. And apparently Sharpay wasn't in on this either. And then later, after they had eaten dinner, she had been upstairs for some time, and went down to get some tea, and her mother hung up from a conversation, looking really secretive.
What was up with her mom – and everyone else? The only person who actually made sense to her was Sharpay, but of course that didn't surprise her. Sharpay always made sense to her, even when the blonde did the silliest things. Like, when she took Gabriella shopping in the mall, dressed in a crazy outfit with around seven ponytails in her hair. Now, Gabriella knew it seemed very unlike Sharpay Evans to do such thing, and when she told Sharpay that, the other girl just told her that she had never done it before.
Apparently Gabriella just brought it out in her.
"Yeah." Sharpay said, and almost couldn't keep in her laughter. Disbelief was streaming through her voice, "It was really crazy. I caught him talking all weirdly with someone on the phone, and when he saw I was there, he suddenly started talking into the bagel he was eating."
Gabriella couldn't help but laugh. Ryan was a goof, but talking into a bagel was a tad too crazy. Though… Gabriella could actually also see Sharpay do that. There was just something about those Evans twins. They were very close and came off a tad mean when you first met them. But then… once you got to know them, they were the two biggest goofballs you could ever find.
"And then when he hung up the bagel, all he said to me was;" she changed her voice, to make her best Ryan-impression, "'Oh Shar! I thought Gabriella was with you!'" She paused and gave another weird look, "I mean, what's up with that?!"
Gabriella bit her lip. That was actually very weird. Why would it matter if she was with Sharpay or not? It shouldn't make any difference. Point was, some of their friends were hiding something, and none of them knew what it was.
"And then the weirdest part was just…" Sharpay trailed off. She looked very thoughtful for a second, before she continued, "…just that I think he was speaking with your mom."
Gabriella's senses picked up at this. Ryan was speaking with her mom? She did hear her mother talking with someone, but could that have been Ryan? Gabriella bit her lip, "She was acting weird one time. But are you sure?"
Sharpay shrugged her shoulders, "He did say Elena."
Gabriella let out a sigh, "Well…" she said, and closed her locker, after making sure she had all the books, "This is officially weird. But let's not worry about this now. We better get your books and head off to homeroom."
Sharpay agreed and the two girls hurried down the hall again. They walked in silence until they reached Sharpay's locker, which was just a few rows down. Sharpay opened the pink locker, and Gabriella admired the golden star like she always did. It was so Sharpay and yet Gabriella wished she had one too.
"So?" Sharpay broke her out of her thoughts, "Are we getting together after school? We could start this project already. Brainstorm and stuff."
Gabriella nodded happily, "Sounds good to me. And we'll talk more at lunch, right?"
Sharpay kissed her cheek, "Sadly enough, m'dear, we don't share too many classes this year." She giggled, before the bell was heard, and the two girls hurried to their classroom.
--ooo--
Everybody got together at lunch again. They did it almost everyday, so there was nothing weird about that. What was weird, however, were some of the signals their friends were shooting each other. Now, Sharpay didn't know what it meant, but she could see them. And she hated not being let in on something! That just wasn't in her nature.
She saw Jason slip a paper across the table to Troy, and turned her head to the side, to see Gabriella frown. Sharpay knew Gabriella didn't take this very well. She hated not being included, much like Sharpay herself, but she took it in a very different manner. While Sharpay might get mad and yell at everybody to tell her, Gabriella took it personal, and went home to ponder over it, and perhaps let go a few tears.
When that boy with glasses from the Scholastic Decathlon Team came by and whispered something in Troy's ear, Sharpay had had about enough. When he left, she gave Taylor a stern glare, hoping the other girl might be easier to break than Ryan.
"What's going on here?" she demanded to know, voice hard, "I want to know exactly what's going on here!"
Taylor gave her a confused look. Questions filled her eyes, and she glanced briefly at Troy, who mumbled something that sounded like 'of course', and then she glanced back at Sharpay, "You don't have to ask, Sharpay. You know what's going on."
"No." Sharpay said, and played with her nails against the table, "As a matter of fact – I don't."
"But you do." Kelsi butted in. Her eyes held a weird look beneath her glasses, but she also had a reassuring smile on her face.
Sharpay gave Gabriella a confused look, hoping the other girl might feel the need to help her out. Gabriella shrugged her shoulders and spoke up, "No, we don't." she said, and bit her lip, "You guys are hiding something from us, and we want to know what's going on."
"But you already know." Taylor said, and stared firmly at Sharpay, while she said 'you'. Now, Sharpay wasn't too sure if Gabriella caught this, but she might just have. She did herself, anyway, and apparently, she was supposed to know, while Gabriella wasn't.
Sharpay nodded to Taylor, and decided to let it go now. She instead went through her brain, looking for any information she might have forgotten. She couldn't really think of anything right now, and she'd just have to ponder more about it later.
Instead, she wanted to have a whole other conversation, because this was bothering Gabriella. And she didn't want Gabriella to worry too much about all this. She had to make everything good for her best friend. Now she just had to figure out what to say, to break this awkward silence. Luckily, she didn't have to worry too long, because Martha, Kelsi and Taylor had a nice story to share.
"We were at the mall yesterday after school," Martha said, as they all got into her story, listening intensely, "and that junior guy was there."
"Junior guy?" Chad questioned, as he inhaled his food.
"Yes," Martha continued, and nodded her head slightly, while she eyed Chad and the way he ate, "him who keeps bothering Kelsi."
"He has a crush on her." Taylor butted in, ignoring her boyfriend, who now had finished eating, much to the joy of everyone else around the table. At least they wouldn't have to look at him, "He just won't leave her alone."
"He keeps texting me." Kelsi complained, her voice whiny, "He doesn't get the hint."
Zeke couldn't keep himself from laughing, "Why don't you tell him you have a boyfriend?"
"We did." Martha said, a huge smile on her face. Apparently she enjoyed seeing Kelsi suffer like this, "Yesterday. Tay and I kept telling him that Kelsi had a boyfriend and that she really didn't want to lose him."
"Now…" Gabriella butted in, a confused look across her face. Sharpay couldn't help but smile to herself. Gabriella was so cute when she was interested in things, "…why didn't Kelsi tell him this herself?"
This time, both Martha and Taylor broke into giggles, while Kelsi bent her head. They could all see hints of red on her cheeks. Taylor got a hold of her laughter, and managed to say, "She hid in the girls bathroom!" before she broke into another giggle, Martha following right behind her.
They all couldn't contain their laughter, so soon the whole table was laughing of Kelsi, who just sat there, looking at them all. When things quieted down, she just stared at the table, "Yes, yes, that's fine…" she mumbled, as she looked up at them, "Juuust make fun of the quiet composer, that's just great."
"Aw, Kels, you know we love you." Ryan said, and padded her awkwardly on the hat. She brushed his hand off and gave him a look.
"But if you tell him you have a boyfriend, he really should give up." Gabriella continued, as she bit into the last of her pasta.
"Yes, I know he should." Kelsi said, and shot Gabriella a sideways smile, "But he keeps telling me that someday we're gonna break up, and he'll be waiting."
Sharpay giggled, "That's just classic." She said. She remembered having a problem very similar to this when she was younger. There was no way to really get rid of a boy like that. At least she hadn't found it back then. She paused though, when she just thought of something, "Though Martha…" she said, and eyed the other girl, "Why didn't you just get rid of him for her?"
"How would I do that?" Martha questioned. Kelsi's eyes had just lit up, by the thought of getting rid of her pester.
"Simple enough." Sharpay stated, and placed an arm around Gabriella, who turned her head to look at the blonde, "If Bri had this problem, I'd just march right up to her and say 'Baby, I've missed you!' and after that I'd just… I'd just plant one on her." she turned her head to the side, and stuck her tongue out of her mouth, moving it teasingly in front of Gabriella.
Gabriella pushed her head away, while Martha and Taylor both gave an 'eew'-face.
"Seriously?" Troy asked, disbelief streaming through his voice, "You'd actually kiss her? That's just gross, Sharpay."
Sharpay was a bit taken aback by their reactions, "Why's it gross?" she wanted to know, one eyebrow arched. She knew that some people didn't like homosexuals, but it wasn't like she and Gabriella wanted to come out of the closet – it was just a simple kiss to get someone off of her friend's back. She hadn't really believed that some of her friends would be that
close-minded; she had honestly thought they'd be cool about it if she ever went out with a girl.
Not that she planned to. Not at all.
"You're two girls." Troy said, stating the obvious, "Relationships are meant to be boy and girl. That's the way it has always been."
"No Troy," Gabriella butted it, and Sharpay was happy to get her help, "there's always been homosexuals. Always. They've always just hidden themselves, and the few who didn't, either got killed or people didn't want anything to do with them. There always was homosexuals and there always will be."
"Fine, alright." Troy said, his voice was hard and stubborn, "Just keep them away from me."
"Why are you being like that, Troy?" Chad asked. None of them could really recognize Troy, "People are allowed to be themselves. What does it matter to you?"
"Chad, you can't honestly say you think this is okay?" Taylor said. She couldn't believe her boyfriend. She had that look on her face from before. She really didn't want to be having this conversation, Sharpay could tell.
"It is Tay, of course it's okay." Chad continued, and gave both Gabriella and Sharpay a reassuring smile. Somehow it reassured them both, and Sharpay let out a sigh of relief, deciding to forget about Taylor.
"Well," Gabriella said, and kissed Sharpay's cheek, "I for one wouldn't mind if Sharpay planted one of me. I could do a lot worse."
Sharpay couldn't help but giggle, and she bent her head, placing it shortly on Gabriella's shoulder, before she lifted it again. There was something in Gabriella's voice that warmed her, but like always, she couldn't figure out why. The others gave them a few glances, but she ignored them. Especially the hateful one she got from Troy.
--ooo--
"…I mean, can you believe him!?" Gabriella finished and threw her bag by her table, before throwing herself onto her bed, "That just… that didn't seem like Troy at all."
"I'm sorry Bri," Sharpay replied, and sat down next to Gabriella, who was lying on her back, sprawled across her bed, "but maybe it really is him. People can surprise you. Perhaps he really doesn't like it when people are gay."
"But…" Gabriella didn't know what to say. She couldn't get the conversation from lunch out of her head. She had played it cool in front of Troy, and been all okay about it with Sharpay, but he had… He had really shocked her. She hadn't expected Troy to be… to be one of those. She had always figured that once she got her act together and told Sharpay about her feelings everything would be okay. Sharpay would feel the same, and they'd be a happy couple. Troy would accept it, she had never doubted that.
She had feared that some of her friends would be un-cool about it. She had had a slight suspicion about Taylor not liking it. But she had always felt that perhaps Taylor would only need a bit of convincing and everything would be great. She'd just have to get used to is. But she had never thought Troy could be this way. And it hurt her. It really hurt her.
"But what, Bri?" Sharpay whispered and stroked Gabriella's cheek carefully, "Why does this even bother you this much?"
Gabriella let out a huge sigh and locked eyes with her friend, "It just does, Pay." She whispered back, a small smile coming to her face.
Sharpay offered her a reassuring smile, before getting back into business. They couldn't sit like this forever, "So what do ya' say?" she said, and stood up again, "I'll go get us something to drink and you can find our books and stuff? We need to get started on this!"
Gabriella sat up again and pulled her hair into a ponytail, using the ponytail holder she had around her wrist, "Fine…" she said, but before Sharpay managed to leave her room, she grabbed the blonde's wrist, "But don't! …don't make it chocolate milk like last time." she said, when she was reminded by the time Sharpay had made them chocolate milk and used waaaay too much chocolate.
"Nooo," Sharpay whined, and gave her a pouty look, "why not, Bri?"
"I turn seventeen this Friday, need I say more?" Gabriella deadpanned.
"Oh," Sharpay said, and pulled her hand from Gabriella's, "So because you're turning seventeen, you're way too good for chocolate milk? Fine, I'll just make some for myself and give you… milk." She paused, "Or whatever."
"Sharpay, come back here!" Gabriella whined, when Sharpay walked out of her room, stomping her feet into the floor on her way. Of course Gabriella knew Sharpay was only kidding, but she threw herself onto her bed again and closed her eyes. She both loved and hated it when Sharpay was like this. Sometimes, Gabriella had to admit that, Sharpay was a bit too much, but she still couldn't help but adore it when the blonde acted out for fun.
Gabriella didn't really have the energy to get out of bed. She was way too lazy to even think about getting their books out. She knew she had told Sharpay she would do that, but she really didn't feel like it. Instead she decided to think of more important things. Like how her birthday was only two days away. It stilled bummed her out that she wouldn't be able to have a party because of Rosa's school trip. But I could have been worse… She was positive that her mother had gotten her a gift.
And she couldn't wait to see what Sharpay had gotten her. She knew it was a bit childish, but this present excited her the most. She knew Sharpay had a lot of money, – everyone knew that – so she would, without a doubt, have gotten her something special and fancy. Maybe, if Gabriella was lucky, it would even hint if Sharpay felt the same for her. Of course getting gifts from her other friends was awesome too, but this… This would be the highlight of her birthday.
Today was Wednesday. And her birthday was Friday. She almost couldn't wait. But tomorrow was Thursday, which meant hip-hop class with Sharpay, which meant seeing her best friend in small shorts and a tight top. Gabriella believed she would be able to get through that day, even if she was excited for Friday. It really wouldn't be too hard.
Gabriella turned onto her back, and smiled into her pillow. Just the image of Sharpay was enough to get her all giddy. It was great, really. But maybe she should think about getting a bit more attention herself? She knew she didn't wear too revealing clothes like Sharpay did, and for hip-hop class she usually wore loose work-out pants and a t-shirt. Perhaps Sharpay would like the change? It was worth a try, anyway. She'd have to see if she had something she could wear. Otherwise she'd have to buy some if she got money for her birthday.
Gabriella closed her eyes and exhaled. This was the life, really. She knew she didn't do much, and some would probably be bored. But she didn't. She could hang out with Sharpay for hours no end and they'd still have fun together. Wasn't that what it was supposed to be like? Sure, they argued, but most couples did that anyway, so that shouldn't stop her. She did know that she had probably neglected her friendship with Taylor a little since she and Sharpay became closer, but she hadn't heard the other girl complain.
Gabriella was pulled out of thoughts when she felt something on her back. It didn't take her too long to realize that Princess Cutie had done an entry, and was now moving to lie down. "Silly, silly cat…" Gabriella whispered, and tried to bend her arm around, so she could touch the kitten. It didn't really work, though.
"Oh, so she's silly?"
Gabriella turned her head to the other side, and opened her eyes. Sharpay was standing by the door. She had placed two glasses on the table – one was filled with some white liquor (milk!) and the other was filled with something Gabriella knew had to be chocolate milk. Sharpay was unbelievable at times. It was probably also her who had dumped Princess Cutie on her back to begin with. Gabriella smirked, "No, you're silly."
Sharpay arched a perfectly shaped eyebrow in her direction, "Oh, am I now?" she questioned and took Princess Cutie off of Gabriella's back. She kissed the kitten plenty of times, before she hugged it to her chest, and sat down on the floor, back leaning against the bed.
Gabriella had watched her in amusement. She turned around on the bed, so her head was next to Sharpay's. She reached a hand out to scratch Princess Cutie on the head, and the two girls enjoyed a comfortable silence. Princess Cutie was purring happily, eyes closed.
"Anyway…" Sharpay broke the silence and tilted her head upwards, to lock eyes with Gabriella, "I see you didn't find our books, huh? I guess we're not really going to get any work done today."
Gabriella couldn't help but smile, "I would suspect not." She whispered, staring deeply into Sharpay's warm, chocolate brown eyes. They were so filled of love and happiness, and Gabriella often wondered what it would be like if she just told her. She couldn't know for sure, but sometimes, when they shared times like this one, she actually believed Sharpay might feel the same. That if she just came clear and told her, they could be that happy couple and just… Be in love.
Sharpay shot her a smile, and glanced briefly at the kitten, before locking eyes with Gabriella again, "If we're not going to do any work on your project, which – may I remind you – we promised Ms. Farber would be excellent… can I see your French paper?"
Gabriella was immediately alarmed by this. She couldn't let Sharpay see her French paper. Even if Sharpay didn't have French, and wouldn't understand it completely, there was still words she'd get. And the fact that her name was written once at the very end might lead her in on it too.
"No." Gabriella quickly said, and shook her head.
Sharpay lost her jaw on purpose, "No?" she questioned, "Why not Bri?" she then wriggled her eyebrows, "Is there dirty things in there?"
"Sure," Gabriella said, and stuck her tongue out at her, "my French teacher is dear old Mrs. Tautou. She's 57 and about to retire. I'm sure I'd write my sex fantasies in there."
Sharpay made her eyes go wide, "You would?" she questioned, and Gabriella giggled, "Am I in there? You know, I better be in there!"
Gabriella giggled again, even if she had troubles doing so. She kissed Sharpay's cheek and said, "You know you are, dearie. Wouldn't want to have any sex fantasies without you!" Gabriella swallowed hard, knowing just how true that was, "But you still can't see it."
"Fine!" Sharpay pouted, and turned her head to Princess Cutie again, "It's not like I know French anyway…" she mumbled, before kissing the kitten. Then she kept on stroking her, "If Bri is this mean, I'll just talk to you Princess. At least you're not keeping secret, French, sex filled essays away from me."
Gabriella rolled her eyes and stood up, to let Sharpay be. She made her way across the floor and sat down by her computer, quickly turning it on. Her eyes fell on the two glasses at the table, before she glanced back at Sharpay, who was busy kissing the kitten and after that, mumbling things about Gabriella into her fur. Gabriella glanced back at the two glasses again, and her eyes fell on the one with chocolate milk. It seemed like Sharpay had used the perfect amount of chocolate this time…
Gabriella got an evil smile on her face, and reached out to grab the glass. Not long after she had grabbed it, and it was inches from her lips, did Sharpay holler from behind her.
"Bri!" she said, and Gabriella turned around in her office chair, eyes wide, "Put that down!" Sharpay demanded, "You said you didn't want chocolate milk and there you are; stealing mine. Put it down!"
Gabriella quickly stuck her tongue out of her mouth before taking the first sip. Sharpay's eyes went wide, and she placed Princess Cutie on the floor, to go get her chocolate milk. The kitten quickly left the scene, when Sharpay hurried across the wooden floor, but before she got that far, Gabriella had downed the whole glass.
"Bri-iii!" Sharpay whined, and hit Gabriella across the head, "I can't believe you."
Gabriella laughed, she just couldn't help herself, "It looked so good!"
"Well, that's because it's chocolate milk!" Sharpay said. Her brown eyes were still filled with fake-anger, "And now I'm stuck with milk…"
Gabriella shrugged her shoulders and turned around to write her password. Sharpay bit her lip, deep in thought. Before Gabriella even managed to turn around again, she had grabbed the glass with milk and went for the door, "I'm gonna go get myself some chocolate." She said.
Gabriella was about to say something, but Sharpay closed the door behind herself, and hurried down the stairs, as fast as the filled glass would let her. She stopped on the halfway to drink some of it, because it was just about to splash all over her. She went into the kitchen and placed the glass on the table, before bending down to find the chocolate container where she had put it.
However the phone rang, and figuring Gabriella might not hear it, she stood up, and grabbed the cordless, which was lying on the kitchen table. She was so familiar with everything around this house, so she just pressed the right button and placed the phone between her left shoulder and ear, "Yeah?"
"Who's this?"
It was Troy.
"Have I gotten the right number?" he continued.
"It's Sharpay." She said, and before he managed to hang up or anything, she continued, "I'm at Gabriella's, so if you're looking for her, you've got the right place." She told him, and bent down the get the chocolate container.
"Oh…" he paused, while she opened up the box, and grabbed the spoon, "Yeah, I have the right number."
"Great," Sharpay said, as she counted how many teaspoons she put in her milk, "…three… I'm just on my way up, so I'll take the phone with me. One minute, and I'll be there." She told him, while getting the chocolate back in the right cupboard.
"No, no!" Troy quickly said, his voice urgent, "No, I'm looking for Elena, actually."
Sharpay paused, "Elena?" she questioned. That was a bit weird. Now, she knew Elena adored Troy and got along with all of Gabriella's friends, but Troy actually calling to talk to her? There was something really odd about that, was there not?
"Yeah, I need to uhm…" he paused again. His voice had an odd edge to it, but Sharpay figured that maybe it was because of the conversation during lunch, or maybe it was because he was… hiding something… "…talk to her." he finished.
Sharpay bit her lip in thought, "Fine." she said, and let out a sigh, "I'll tell her you called, Troy."
"Thank you Sharpay." He mumbled.
"Yeah, whatever." Sharpay finished, before hanging up the phone. She stared out of the kitchen window for a few seconds, getting lost in thought. What was Troy doing called Elena? She knew it had to be something about that secret, but… It really bugged her. She had a feeling she should know about it, and yet – she didn't.
"Sharpay?"
She had, apparently, been standing there for some time, because she hadn't even noticed Elena pull up in the driveway, and now the older woman was standing in the doorframe into the kitchen, a questionable look in her eyes.
Sharpay turned around, and immediately got a smile on her face, "Elena? Hi." She said, and took a hold on her glass, to leave the kitchen.
Elena didn't move from the doorway though, so she stared her right in the eye, "Are you alright, Sharpay dear?"
"I'm fine yes." Sharpay smiled, and motioned towards her glass, "I was just getting something to drink since your daughter," she impressed this word, "stole mine."
"Oh, I see." Elena said, with a thoughtful look on her face, "I'll have to tell her off then, I guess."
Sharpay giggled, "Anyway… I better get up to her again."
"Oh." Elena said, and quickly moved from the doorway, to let Sharpay pass.
Sharpay stopped halfway through the door, and turned around again, to look at Elena, "And Elena…" she said, which caused her to turn around and smile at Sharpay, "Troy called for you? I promised I'd give along the message."
"Oh what a silly boy!" Elena laughed, as she picked up the phone from the table, where Sharpay had placed it, "He could just have told you… It's about you-know-what." she whispered the last part, and Sharpay nodded slightly, before going upstairs.
Yeah, Sharpay thought to herself, as she sipped her chocolate milk, happy to finally have some, I wish I did know what.
There you have it :D I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Gabriella's birthday is ticking closer, and it's actually one of the main things in this story. I hope you enjoy the silly 'mystery' I've made here. Rofl. It's not really much of a mystery since some of you have already guessed what's going on, but anyway…
Anyway. Have some of you been having problems with the small lines the most of us use to divide parts of the chapter? I'm going insane here! All my stories are completely mashed together because those lines are gone. I went back to check my old stories, and they're all gone. I really hope they come back, or else it'll take forever to clear it up and get the chapters to make sense again. At least now I'm doing those other ones in stead; hoping they'll work just as fine.
I want to thank you all for the reviews. They really mean a lot to me. And I really need them to go on, so please remember to drop on off on your way out ;P
