Chapter 3: Too Young
Sunday passed way to fast and then came Monday morning. Sharpay slowly followed her brother into the school. Everything looked the same, but she sure didn't feel the same. It felt like her perfect world wasn't so perfect anymore. She entered her homeroom and proceeded to her desk without stopping to talk to anyone.
Ms. Darbus entered just moments later.
Sharpay tried to keep her attention on Ms. Darbus, but her thoughts kept drifting to the news that she had recently received. She glanced at Ryan, who was looking towards the window. He also seemed distracted, probably for the same reason she was. She sighed and tried to concentrate on listening to Ms. Darbus.
"Are you still meeting me for dinner tonight?" Gabriella asked Troy as the walked out of the classroom.
"Yup, seven o'clock, right?"
"Yeah."
"Okay," Troy replied before they went separate ways for free period.
"Hey! Troy!" Chad yelled as he ran to catch up with Troy.
Troy spun around. "Yeah?"
"Jason, Zeke, and I are going to shoot some hoops. Do you want to come?"
"Can't, I'm going to see if I can find Kelsi. I want to practice for my audition."
Chad's eyebrows furrowed. "But I just saw Gabriella go off with Taylor, aren't the two of you auditioning together?"
Troy shook his head. "No."
Chad waited a second thinking that Troy would continue, but when he didn't he asked, "Well, why not?"
Troy shrugged. "We just decided not to." He then walked away before Chad could respond.
As he approached the music room he heard an unfamiliar tune coming from the piano. He figured it was Kelsi and started to open the door, but instead of a brunette sitting at the piano it was a blond. Sharpay? He quietly stepped into the room and sat down on a nearby stool, while Sharpay began to sing.
"It's hard to remember
A time when I felt right
I've always felt off
Either in mind or in heart
I may appear bold, but
Inside fear is eating away
The walls I've held in place
Why is this happening to me
I wish that pain would just let me be
I'm too young to feel this old
All I want to be is okay
I want the people out there to really know me
But I'm afraid to let them in
And I'm wondering
Is time running out
Why is this happening to me
I wish that pain would just let me be
I'm too young to feel this old
I wish I could tell them my secret
But my shame is all to real
Would they laugh and point
Or would it change the way they talk to me
Why is this happening to me
I wish that pain would just let me be
I'm too young to feel this old
Too young to feel…this old..."
Sharpay finished the song as a tear slipped down her cheek. She slowly rested her head on the piano and began to sob. I've already been through this once and I don't know if I can do it again, she thought as she continued to cry.
Troy finally decided to say something and he walked towards her. "Sharpay, are you okay?"
Sharpay, startled, jumped when she heard his voice. She turned around to face him and quickly wiped away the tears that lingered on her cheeks. "How long have you been in here?"
"Since you started singing."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"Because I didn't want to disturb you, I was just looking for Kelsi. That's a nice song; I've never heard it before."
"I'm not surprised you haven't heard it, I wrote it," Sharpay said simply. "Now if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone."
As a friendly gesture, Troy placed his hands on her shoulders. "Sharpay, is something wrong?"
Sharpay's jaw tightened. "Don't pretend to care if you really don't." She pushed his hands off of her shoulders and brushed past him.
"What makes you think that I don't care?"
Sharpay spun around. "Oh come on, Troy! You know what everyone, including you, thinks about me. I've always been known as the Drama Queen or the Ice Queen. Maybe that's my fault, I don't know. But just for once I'd like to be known as me, Sharpay. And has it ever occurred to you that I might have a really good reason for my heart of ice? NO! Do you know why that's never occurred to you?" She paused, seeing if he would respond. When he didn't, she answered, "Because you don't care." With that she stormed out of the room, leaving Troy alone in the, now quiet, room.
Please Review! I hope that you liked it!
I didn't write the song that Sharpay sung, that was written by my sister!
