Something I Used to Be
Chapter 3- Surprise?
"So umm… like when is Sharpay going to be at your house?" Zeke asked, looking around at the overly decorated living room in the Evan's mansion. "We have kinda been helping you decorate the house for like an hour and a half and she still isn't here."
"No wonder why Troy and Gabriella left." Martha added.
"Wait, when did they leave? I didn't see them leave." Ryan replied, looking at his friends confusedly.
"They left a half hour ago saying that they were going to get coffee." Kelsi said.
"Um, isn't the coffee shop down the street?" Ryan asked, getting really confused. Of course he didn't understand that all of his friends were trying avoid Sharpay, not see her.
"I'm starting to get thirsty to, let me go see what's good there be back in a few!" Taylor exclaimed while trying to get away.
"Oh, no you don't your not leaving too!" Chad stated while tugging on Taylor's arm, pulling her back in the mansion.
Ryan looked at his friends suspiciously. He looked at them each, looking around the room at all of the pink and sparkly decorations. "How about I will go and get Gabriella and Troy and try to get them back here."
The friends looked at each other, getting an idea. "Yeah know what, I think that is really good idea." Zeke replied.
Ryan opened the front door, as his friends quietly began towards the back exit, Ryan turned around… "Jamal watch them!" he shouted to the security guard.
"Ugh." Chad said under his breath, making sure that no one besides Taylor and Zeke heard him.
Ryan tried to make it a quick visit so he ran down the block to their house, he had to make sure that no one in his house had escaped. He walked to the front doorway and rang the bell, waiting for one of his friends to answer. "Anyone home?"
Gabriella slowly opened the door. She peaked out, and Ryan could clearly see Troy behind her. "Hey Ry, what's up?"
"Umm, nothing… other than you abandoned us!" Ryan half yelled at them.
Gabriella opened the door all the way so that her and Troy got a full look at their friend. "And your point is?"
"I really don't care what it is, you guys cannot leave the rest of us to fend for ourselves against the ice queen."
They looked at him with a weird look.
Ryan grabbed his wallet out of his back pocket and shoved fifty dollars at them. "Here! Take the money, just don't leave us!"
Gabriella eyed the money. "Don't you think that fifty is a little cheap? We are talking about Sharpay here."
"Fine! Fifty for both of you, just come now!" Ryan said, handing Troy two bills, and shoving them out of their house.
"You really owe us one." Troy said after Gabriella shut the front door.

Mr. Evans closed his cell phone and turned towards his son. "Quickly, everyone hide, she's almost home!"
A limo drove down the street, causing every neighbor to close the blinds and turn their lights off. It looked like everyone was hiding from something… but they were.
Ryan looked outside, and saw that his neighbors across the street had shut their door and closed the blinds. "I don't think it's my sister who is coming, it looks like some mass murderer."
"Why do you say that son?" Mr. Evans had no idea what the heck his son was talking about.
Ryan turned to look at his father. "Because every single neighbor on the street is in hiding. I swear I even saw ducks fly away."
"Don't talk about your sister like that! She is coming home and we are all grateful, right everyone?"
Everyone in the house, which was currently, Ryan, Mr. Evans, Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, Martha, Jason, Zeke, Mr. Fulton, Jamal the security guard, Boi, Lea, Emma, and Jackie. Surprisingly, every person/animal in the room showed up for Sharpay. "Yeah." They all replied in an uneasy tone.
"She's at the door, everyone get to their places!" Mr. Evans said, ducking under the window. "Remember when she opens the door, jump and say 'surprise'!"
Sharpay opened the door to her old home, and jumped up in surprise as Ryan, her dad, Jamal, and Boi jumped and shocked her. "Surprise!" The three of them said, and Boi barked.
Mrs. Evans came in right after Sharpay and saw the small party. "Oh, I see that you are having a small get together to keep it on the downlow that our big star is home."
Ryan looked at his mom, confused. "Yeah, my sist-mom say what?" He turned around and saw that only a few people jumped out to surprise his sister. "GUYS!" He screamed.
Everyone else came out cautiously, looking at Sharpay. Ryan went over to where Troy and Gabriella were hiding. "I am really disappointed in you two! I paid you guys too."
Gabriella raised her eyebrow. "Eh hem, that was fifty bucks for coming, not for jumping out." Gabriella was friends with Sharpay when they were younger, and she was used to speaking her opinion.
Sharpay looked around at the people that actually came to see her. Most of them were her friends, but none of them actually looked glad to see her. "I am home! Hi everyone!"
They all smiled at her, and some replied back with some greeting. Everyone was in an awkward silence, staring at each other and Sharpay. The silence was quickly broken though.
"Look, it's Sharpay Evans!" A child screamed, pointing at the blonde. Kids and teens from around the block started to crowd around the house.
"Oh look, a distraction." Zeke whispered to his friends, and they all started to make a gettaway.
