And I've been practising for this 'Dance Festival' at my church which went great!! I sang with my sister in front of nearly 200 people!! Was soo nervous but it went well :) hehe. Anyway, forget my life lol. Here's the next, long-awaited (lol), chapter. Enjoy and review!! Love you guys!!)
Sharpay headed straight for her locker and dropped off a few books she didn't need till later and grabbed her history book. She looked to the right and saw Troy and Gabriella walking down the corridor, hand in hand, with a huge group of obsessed high school kids surrounding them. She shook her head then turned around choosing to take the long way round to her history classroom.
Sharpay managed to get through the first half of the day surprisingly well. She focused her mind on her schoolwork and managed to do a lot of work which was a change for her. She was feeling quite pleased with herself whilst purchasing her lunch. She headed up the stairs towards the 'Drama table'. She had arrived quite early so was on her own but she didn't really mind.
She began to eat her salad. Normally she would buy chilli cheese fries on a Thursday but that little 'incident' with Gabriella had put her off for life! She had just turned on her iPod and began to listen when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She pulled out her earphones and turned to see who it was.
"Do you mind if I sit down?" said an awkward looking Troy.
Sharpay was stunned. No-one, and she meant no-one, apart from members of the drama club sat at the drama table yet still she found herself nodding in silence. Sharpay snapped out of her trance and spoke.
"So…err-where's Gabriella?" Sharpay spoke nervously.
"Oh, we broke up."
Sharpay's eyes widened. Troy smirked.
"Only kidding."
Sharpay made herself laugh then regretted it realising how fake she sounded. Troy looked her a little strangely then just carried on.
"She's practising for the next round of the Scholastic Decathlon."
"Oh right. That makes more sense." Inside Sharpay wished that Troy hadn't been joking but that's it. She could only wish.
The two sat in silence for a while until Troy spoke.
"So Sharpay, anyone you like? What's going on with you and Zeke?"
Troy nudged Sharpay a little but didn't want to push her too far. Sharpay replied quickly.
"No, Zeke and I are just friends. I realised that he's nothing more."
Troy looked surprised by her quick reply.
"Oh right, anyone else then?"
Sharpay looked down at the table and pretended to be chewing on her salad. Sharpay was an amazing, talented actress but when it came to Troy all her talent and experience seemed to disappear. She could never hide her true feelings from the boy she loved and she had always loved Troy. Troy smirked at Sharpay's reaction.
"Come on Sharpay. Tell me. You know you can."
"But I can't." Sharpay protested.
"Awww. We used to talk all the time. What happened? Don't you trust me?" Troy pouted using his best puppy dog eyes.
There was that line. 'Don't you trust me?' Sharpay had heard it so many times before. Whenever Troy wanted to get something out of her, he tried to make her feel guilty. She knew what he was doing but there was one problem. It always worked!
"Troy. Do you really want to know?" whilst speaking Sharpay looked deeply into Troy's eyes.
Troy didn't break eye contact but just replied calmly.
"Yes Sharpay. I really want to know." He placed emphasis on the word really.
"Okay. I'll tell you."
Troy smiled.
"Thank you." He placed his hand over hers as a thank you and then pulled it away.
"It's …"
Sharpay was cut off by Ryan and Kelsi chatting away as they sat down at the table. They had been so engrossed in their conversation that they hadn't even noticed Sharpay or Troy at the table. They looked up.
"Oh, hi guys." Kelsi said. Kelsi looked at Troy giving him a 'why are you sitting here' look. She had become much more confident since Troy and Gabriella had beaten Sharpay and Ryan in the call-backs.
"Oh, I was just talking to Sharpay about Twinkle Towne, you know getting some tips, but I better go. See you around."
Troy made his way down the stairs while Sharpay watched.
"Why were you talking to him, sis?" Ryan asked.
Sharpay didn't hear him though. It suddenly hit her how close she had come to telling Troy that she loved him.
(A/N: Will Sharpay ever get to tell Troy how she feels? Hehe, love the suspense lol. Love it? Hate it? Whatever you think review and tell me:) Love you xoxo)
