Who's Broken Now?
Summary: She breaks hearts for fun but in the end, is it hers that'll be broken? ChadSharpay
Author's Note: Here is the second chapter, I haven't truly edited it that well since I just finished rewriting it like five minutes ago, so, excuse mistakes, okay? This chapter does include cursing as will like every chapter so if you are offended by such language I am sorry, it's kind of unavoidable sometimes when I start writing, especially if it's Chadpay. So, without further ado, the new chapter to Who's Broken Now?
Chapter Two: The Project
Two days, fourteen hours, and twenty-five minutes was how long it took for Kaylee to finish the list. Sharpay counted. On Wednesday, Kaylee strolled through the doors to homeroom with a packet for both Ryan and Sharpay. She dropped the packets atop their desks and just looked at them waiting for the twins to say something.
Sharpay reached out and flipped through it seeing a complete profile on each player on the team from allergies to turn-ons, it was madness. Ryan took his copy of the list and saw that the only thing that was different from his sister's was that his copy also included a few more facts on the guys, like which guys were gay and not.
"Kayls, you've outdone yourself with this one, this should be easy" Sharpay said flipping through the book looking content
"She thinks it's easy? Kayls, what-" Ryan began
"Five, four, three, two, one" Kaylee said counting down as just as she said one Sharpay jumped up in her seat slamming down the book hard on her desk
"There are two problems right now, one Danforth is in this book and two Danforth is in this book" Sharpay said
"Well, he is on the team" Kaylee said
"But he's… Chad" Sharpay said
"And he's on the team, the deal was to get every guy on the team in love with you and to break their hearts" Kaylee said
"But I don't want to break Chad's heart" Sharpay said
"Don't you mean you don't want him to love you?" Ryan asked
"That's what I said" Sharpay said
"No, you said you didn't want to-"
"Kaylee, why does it have to be every guy on the team?" Sharpay asked
"Because that was the challenge and you never back down from a challenge" Kaylee said
"I know one challenge she can't handle" Ryan said
"What?" Kaylee asked
"Riding-" Ryan's sentence, which was no doubt perverted and wrong, was cut off by Mrs. Darbus
"Class, we will be working on projects, you must pick a musical and reenact one of its scenes, I do know this project has been done every semester of every year these days but for once I want you to be focused and no doing anything wrong" Darbus warned
"Um, Mrs. Darbus, this isn't going to be like the last time you did this project, right? Because every time this stupid project comes around all that happens is that another golden couple is born by the end after a ton of dramatic and personal events, and if we do that, it'll totally take away from the general point of this story and turn it into one like every other stupid story out there" Kaylee said
"What story?" Darbus asked
"The story we're in, hello, don't you pay attention to the words written for you to say?" Kaylee asked
"Um… right, fine, fine, I'll change the project, hm, students you will now be placed with a partner and have to interview people you know about the disadvantages and advantages of having families and being an adult" Darbus said
"What will that prove?" Ryan asked
"Shut up, Ryan, that can help move along the plot of the story" Kaylee said
"What story?" Ryan asked
"The fucking story we're in, does anyone pay attention to what is going on around them?" Kaylee asked dramatically throwing her hands in the air
"I do" one guy in the back row said raising his hand, Kaylee turned and looked at him
"Ew, you're a nerd, nobody cares what you notice" Kaylee said turning back to Darbus who by then had started listing off the pairs.
"I did this alphabetically so let's see, Zeke Baylor and Troy Bolton, Dave collier and Kaylee Collins, Martha Cox and Jason Cross, Chad Danforth and Sharpay Evans-" Darbus' list was cut off by a huge uproar of discontent. It was obvious the class did not like the pairings so far, or more or less, didn't like the idea of Chad and Sharpay partnered up.
"Mrs. Darbus, I can not work with Danforth" Sharpay said
"You will or you will fail" Mrs. Darbus said
"But this is just disgusting, can't I just serve detention? Watch your car? Wax your back? Anything but be with Sharpay" Chad said
"I agree, I'd rather do a kissing scene with Ryan" Sharpay said, then it dawned on her what just happened, "I'd rather do a kissing scene with Ryan" she said in all seriousness
"I'd rather do a kissing scene with Ryan" Chad said and you could clearly see Ryan sneaking out the classroom at that moment
"Well, unless Ryan is up for that, meet your new partner" Darbus said, Sharpay whipped out her cell phone and was about to call Ryan when Chad closed it
"Don't. I really don't even want to try that… or see that" Chad said
"Whatever" Sharpay said putting her cell phone back in her purse
"Now that this issue is settled, back to my list, Ryan Evans and Fred Fredburger" Darbus droned on mentioning the partners and more details about the project but neither Chad nor Sharpay paid attention, they were just thinking about their project and what it would be like to work together. Before they could get too far in their nightmares - or fantasies depending on the person and moment - the bell rang (doesn't it always) and cut them out of their reveries.
"Just remember those few rules and I'm sure you'll ace this project" Darbus said dismissing the class
"Rules? What rules?" Sharpay asked scooping her books into her hands
"Weren't you listening, Pay?" Kaylee asked and in response Sharpay shook her head, "I would tell you but first we've got to get to lunch, if another freshmen group steals our table, I'll scream"
"Kayls, do you think I'll be able to finish this list soon?" Sharpay asked
"You just got it at the beginning of class, shouldn't you be thinking about other things?" Kaylee asked
"Well, I know Troy will be the easiest, actually, Zeke will be the easiest, he practically faints every time I talk to him" Sharpay said taking her lunch from her locker
"But shouldn't you start with the challenges first?" Kaylee asked
"No way, this is like dinner, get the good stuff done first then eat the bad things" Sharpay said as the cafeteria doors opened for the two
"So does that mean you're going to work on Chad last?" Kaylee asked
"Why would I pick Danforth last?" Sharpay asked
"Because, you say challenges for the end"
"Getting Danforth would so not be a challenge"
"I think it would, he barely notices you half the time"
"That's only because he's totally gay" Sharpay said, this brought a nice sound out of Kaylee who nearly choked on her own spit
"A guy doesn't fall all over you and suddenly he's gay?" Kaylee asked
"Yup! Even Ryan can't keep his eyes off me sometimes, there just has to be something wrong with Danforth, and homosexuality is the only logical answer" Sharpay said sitting down at the table and biting into her sandwich
"Ooh, here that man, homosexuality is the only logical answer, it seems they've figured you out" Troy said jokingly
"Right," Chad said rolling his eyes, "Just can't stop thinking 'bout me, eh, Evans?" he asked sitting down at her table with a cocky grin on his face
"Of course," Sharpay said, "I spend all my time thinking of you" she said sarcastically
"I know, it's these devastating good looks, they're both a gift and a curse" Chad said
"The only curse around here is that you won't leave me alone" Sharpay said
"Leave you alone? Why I'm not even here for you, I'm just here to enjoy the view" Chad said
"Of me?" Sharpay asked, her eyebrow raised
"No, of the clouds, this table has the perfect view. What kind of sick and twisted person would enjoy watching you?" Chad asked
"Dude, I just found the video from last summer of Sharpay swimming at her pool" Zeke said happily running over to Troy
"Apparently, your friends" Sharpay said smirking
"Is it the one?" Troy asked Zeke
"I do believe it is" Zeke said back
"What are you idiots talking about?" Chad asked standing up and turning his attention away from the girls
"Well, rumor has it there was a video of Sharpay swimming last summer-" Troy began
"But this video is special because-" Zeke started
"She was swimming naked!" the two said together
"You guys need help" Chad said after a long pause
"The only one that needs help is you, how can you not want to find a video of the hottest girl in school skinny dipping?" Troy asked
"Because I have a respect for women" Chad said
"I respect women" Troy said
"Is it a respect for women or a love and obsession with their bodies?" Chad asked
"More the last one but, dude, I'm a teenage guy, who has needs, and those needs require me watching that video and you are coming with us" Troy said
"I'd actually rather sit here and bother Sharpay" Chad said
"Where? Sharpay's not here" Troy said, Chad turned around quickly looking all over the cafeteria and sure enough Sharpay wasn't there anymore
"Where'd she go?" Chad asked
"Who cares?" Troy asked
"I bet you he does" Zeke said
"Why would I care about Sharpay?" Chad asked
"Because you fancy her, man" Zeke said
"Fancy?" Troy and Chad said together
"Sorry, I've been talking with my stepsister a lot more lately and she's starting to get to me, I mean, you like her, man" Zeke said
"I do not like Sharpay Evans," Chad said, the two guys just looked at him longer, "What do you two want from me? Do you want me to say I like her or something? Do you want me to run up to her and say, hey Sharpay, I know I hate you and you hate me but truth is I think you're hot? Yeah, this isn't some Disney Channel TV series or cheesy musical, this is real life" he said
"And she's real hot. Come on, Chad, wouldn't you just kill to be the one to butter that muffin?" Troy asked
"Butter that muffin? I think you've watched Mean Girls just a little too many times, buddy" Chad said
"You can never see Mean Girls too many times, and especially that part. Dude is all, is your muffin buttered and would you like us to appoint someone to butter your muffin, I was dying" Troy said
"See, these are the times when I go back to wondering why I hang out with you" Chad said
"Because I'm an amazing person" Troy said
"That's not what he means, he probably means it's another one of those gay times" Zeke said
"Oh… believe me, C, if I was gay, I would have made a move on you already" Troy said as if that would make the moment better
"That is not comforting" Chad said
"I bet Sharpay would be comforting, if you know what I mean" Zeke said
"Dude, the squirrel on the window seal knows what you mean" Chad said
"Bet you it doesn't, it probably only thinks about nuts" Zeke said getting a nice laugh out of Troy
"What is so funny?" Chad asked really annoyed by his friends
"Zeke… said… nuts" Troy said still laughing his butt off, Chad and Zeke just shook their heads and left the cafeteria. The rest of lunch flew by and soon enough it was time for English, Chad's least favorite class, excluding drama. He hated the class because he never could understand what the teacher said, but that could also have to do with the fact that Sharpay sat right in front of him and she knew everything.
"Alright, class, today we are starting to read something that involves true heartbreaking dilemma which bends the law and rids the body of all pure thoughts and feeling" Mr. Turner said
"Huh?" Chad said
"He means we're reading Shakespeare" Sharpay said to Chad as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"As always, Ms. Evans is correct," Paul said making Sharpay blush lightly, "Before I hear any groans I want you to know this one will be interesting to you guys" he said
"How so?" Joshua Wolfe, a guy on the varsity basketball team, called out
"Well, it involves pure unedited adultery and tons of deceit" Paul said
"How about you say that in teen?" Josh asked
"He means it involves gossip, lies and sex" Sharpay said
"Oh… sweet" Josh said high fiving one of the guys near him
"We will be reading this play for the next few weeks so keep your copy handy" Paul said handing out copies of the play to the students, "Now you're free to do whatever for the rest of the class as long as you stay in the school building and it's productive" he said, Sharpay turned towards Chad and he pulled the borrowed video camera from his backpack.
"I'll record, you star" Chad said
"Why me?" Sharpay asked
"Because you look great in the camera, I mean, because you… um… yeah, I got nothing, just you star okay" Chad said turning back to the camera in his hands, luckily for both of them he didn't notice Sharpay's cheeks growing fairly deeper. Once he had the camera running, the two teens left the room and started recording.
"Hello everyone this is Sharpay Evans for EHN, East High News. Today, we, meaning my camera man and myself, are on a mission to find out exactly how far we as humans have come in the years in the ways of marriage, families, and all around life. First-"
"Cut, cut, cut" Chad said stopping the recording, "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? What are you doing? You cut me off" Sharpay said
"This isn't a news broadcast, this is some crummy project for Darbus' class, you sound like a reporter" Chad said
"I just thought since we were interviewing people, it'd be cool if we acted like it was a news show" Sharpay said
"…Where did you find a microphone?" Chad asked eyeing the device in her hands
"I always keep one in my purse" Sharpay said
"Why?" Chad asked
"Because I do, now are we going to get this thing going or what?" Sharpay asked, Chad sighed and turned the camera back on
"Action" he said
"Hello everyone this is Sharpay Evans for EHN, East High News." Sharpay began, as she went on with her introduction she tried hard not to notice that her camera man and partner was obviously getting bored and even more so rolling his eyes at almost everything she said.
"Okay, cut," Chad said after probably twenty minutes of interviews and introductions, "I've got basketball practice" Chad said handing her the camera
"That's great, we can interview the others" Sharpay said
"No, you can interview the others," Chad said, "Basketball practice is a very significant and important thing. It's a sacred ritual of sorts between basketball players and cheerleaders, and luckily, you are neither, so, buh-bye" he said turning and walking away leaving her open mouthed and wide eyed
"Team and cheerleaders, eh?" she said watching him walk down the hall, "Well, I guess I just have to become a cheerleader then"
End Author's Note: Well, there it was, I feel better now that I'm done, how do you guys feel? Right now, my plot is still in it's early stages so I can't guarantee any real Chadpay action for a while, sorry. I'm working on making sure my chapters aren't too short, so, how was the length of this one? Would you like them shorter? Longer? Like this? None at all? Well, hopefully not the last one seeing as then my story would be over after only two chapters, a prologue and a trailer. Go ahead push that purple (and sometimes other colored but mostly always purple) button.
You know you want to…
