"Insanity"
I laid there on my bed nestled into the side of my current lover, Sharpay. We were both half asleep, barely moving with the exception of the occasional kiss or caress, tired from our previous activities. I knew I should stop this and get Sharpay on her way home before anyone started to wonder where she was.
Sharpay had come by for her weekly half-hour piano lesson around six and it was almost nine.
For once, I ignored my better judgment and let myself drift in and out of slumber attached to the girl next to me. She was beautiful lying there holding me close to her, and I wish this could be the situation all the time instead of just once a week.
Unsure of how much later I started to hear a noise. I shot my head up quickly.
"Calm down, Kels, it's just a phone," Sleepy Sharpay said trying to pull me back down.
I almost let her take me back down, but the sound the phone was making finally registered in my head, "That's the ring I have for Ryan," I said getting up to look for the discarded device, "Are you here?" I asked the blonde while throwing various articles of clothing around.
"No," she said pulling the blanket higher.
I eventually found it the pocket of the shorts I was wearing before, "Hello," I said prior to it going to voicemail.
"Hey. What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing much. You?" I asked back.
"Nothing. Do you know where Sharpay is?"
"No. Why would I know something like that?" I said a little too quickly.
"Because she had her lesson with you, right?" He asked.
"Yeah but she left hours ago," I lied.
Sharpay sat up realizing that we were talking about her, "Put it on speaker," She said.
I complied and sat down at the edge of my bed.
"Really did she say anything about where she was going?"
"No. Why?"
"It's nothing," he said sounding annoyed.
"Did you try her phone?" I said knowing fully that it was in her purse downstairs by the piano.
"Yeah, but the bitch isn't answering," he said bluntly.
Sharpay made a surprised and slightly hurt face at the sound of her brother's harsh words.
I did too, "What happened?" I asked. He usually never said things about her unprovoked.
I wasn't completely happy with Sharpay listening over my shoulder. Whenever something happened between the twins I was the one they usually vented to. I liked to believe that it's because they thought of me as a close friend, but in the back of my head, I couldn't stop thinking it's because they knew I would never say anything.
"Well, she left all her crap in my car including some bottle of perfume and it exploded all over the place, stained the backseat of my car and now my entire car smells like a baby prostitute," he whined.
Sharpay started to laugh and I tried to hush her, "Wow that sucks for you. Did you try letting it air out?"
"Yeah, but that shit was so strong, letting it air out only made it worse."
"I don't think she did it on purpose," I said trying to stay neutral. It's a hard thing to do with such strong wills on either side.
"Yeah right, knowing her, she probably did do it on purpose, she's such a whore."
Sharpay made another face and I knew that if I wanted to keep things the way they were, I should fight more for her than trying to stay balanced.
"You shouldn't say things like that about her," I said.
"If it wasn't true maybe I wouldn't have to say those things," he said, "And to make it worse, she left all her other crap in the bathroom and the housekeeper told me off about it because she thought it was my stuff. At least I think that's what it was about. I don't understand Mexican."
I roll my eyes at his unnecessary ignorance. Their housekeeper was from Peru not Mexico and it's Spanish not Mexican, "umm… maybe she didn't mean it," I repeated.
"Of course she meant it. She's so lazy. I don't see why she didn't at least attempt to clean the room. She always rushes off to your house for her lesson. And no offense, you can't be that good of a teacher because she still sucks," he said angrily.
Sharpay had enough. She grabbed the phone out of my hand, "Ryan Bernard Evans, How dare you talk shit about me behind my back and say such a mean thing to Kelsi!" she said practically yelling into the phone.
"Sharpay?" he asked quietly into the phone.
"Yes?" She asked back.
"Am I on speaker?" he asked.
"You have been the whole time."
"You heard everything?"
"Yes."
"I thought you weren't there?"
"Kelsi lied," she said simply.
"What?" he asked stunned from the whole situation.
"Yes and I'm on my way home. I bet Daddy would love to hear what you had to say about me," she said pulling the parent card. To make it even better their mother was out of town on a business trip so Ryan had no one in his corner.
"Shar, you know what I'm not mad at you anymore," he said.
"Too late, Ry. See you in a few," she said then closed the phone, "Sorry I have to run," she said to me getting out of the bed and starting to dress.
"It's okay…" I said slowly, "Don't you think you're being a little mean to Ryan?" I asked.
She gave me a look that I read as "you have got to be kidding me".
"I didn't mean any disrespect. I just think that your father doesn't need to be brought into the situation but if you want to that's okay. I was only commented," I said quickly. I didn't want to start anything.
Sharpay let out a quick "ha" as she finished buttoning her shirt, "Honey, I'm not going to say anything. I just said that to scare him. "
"Oh," I said feeling like an idiot.
"You are so adorable," she commented then kissed me, "See you next week," she said after pulling away.
"Definitely. Work on your cords, so Ryan doesn't think you suck so badly," I said joking.
"Sure, whatever you say, bye," and she was out the door and I was alone with my music and a new idea for a song. Sharpay always had that affect on me. I couldn't get enough of her no matter how crazy she was.
Fin!
A/n: To the question at the top, everything is happier than Kelpay. Kelpay is one of the more angsty pairings. There was a lot more angst and drama that I had in this but I cut it out in trying to keep this light and fluffy. Wasn't as funny as I intended it to be. The next one will be ridiculous, I promise. It might be Choy or Chaylor. I haven't decided yet. Please send your requests. I like them, so if you have one, please don't hesitate. Thanks for reading!
