Chapter four

A/N- I hadn't written in a while so I really wanted to, but ti's not that great. I'm kind of upset right now. But the next chapter will hopefully be better. I have a lot planned for it.

"Troy."

"Sharpay."

Chad looked between the two with curiouslity. Ever since the other day they had been avoiding each other. Chad thought it might calm things down if the three of them went out to eat, but things were just awkward. He'd tried asking Troy, but got nothing. He was a tad afraid to ask Sharpay though.

"Chad..." Chad said slowly, partly trying to break the tension, partly because he felt a little left out.

Sharpay cleared her throat, taking a seat on the other side of Troy. "So uh...what's up?

"Not much. I havn't seen you around." Troy said, starring right at her. Which only caused her to figit a little.

"I've been busy."

"Sure." Troy nodded, somewhat sarcastically. Sharpay chose to ignore it.

"Okay." Chad said, breaking the tence silence. "What's going on between you two. You two have barely said three words to each other all week."

"I've been busy." Sharpay excused.

"Sure you have." Troy muttered, looking down at his plate. He was still a little upset that after running off after their kiss the other day she'd been avoiding him ever since. He had even tried calling and texting her, but the only responce he got was a voicemail from her saying she just needed time to think about some things, and that was it.

"I have." She hissed, obviously catching what Troy had said.

"Busy what? Thinking about things?"

"You're a jackass."

"I just want to know why the hell you're avoiding me. What I did wasn't that bad and I seem to remeber, you kissed me back!" He half whispered, half shouted.

"I just needed to sort some things out. Why can't you understand that?"

Troy shook his head. "Do you know why I broke up with Gabriella? Because I had feelings for you."

She scoffed. "Probably more like guilt for kissing me the first time."

"Again....you kissed me back!" He fired back.

"Well, that was a mistake."

"Well maybe the second kiss was a mistake then too." He said, trying to hide the little amount of hurt that had settled in his eyes.

"I guess so."

There was a long pause until Troy, sighing, stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Not bothering to say another word. Sharpay, realizing what all she had just said, followed him out. Leaving Chad alone.

"What the heck? Now I have to pay? This is bogus!"

---

"Troy!" Sharpay yelled, trying to catch up to him. Troy turned around, looking quizzingly at the blonde.

"What?" He asked once she had reached him. "Tell me that you need more time to think?"

"Would you just shut up for a second, please?"

"Well I guess parts of the old Sharpay are still exsiting."

She glared at him. "I'm trying to say something here."

"Fine. What?"

"I'm sorry."

"Fine if that's wh-" He paused, facing Sharpay with question. "Wait, did you just apologize?"

"Yes..."

"But...you never do that."

Sharpay rolled her eyes, turning away and starting back down the street. "Fine, forget it."

"Wait, hold on." He said, grabbing her hand and turning her back around. "What were you going to say?"

"I was going to say that...you were right."

"I was what?" He asked, looking shocked. "I was right?"

She rolled her eyes again. "Yes you jackass."

Troy smiled, ignoring her jackass comment. "What was I right about?"

"I'm not so sure I want to tell you anymore." She said so innocently that Troy just had to laugh. She looked like a little girl who'd just gotten her cookie stolen. It was adorbale, in Troy's opinion.

"No, tell me."

"Fine." She huffed, then took a breathe before muttering, "You were right. I did kiss you back."

Troy grinned. "Yeah, you did. Why?"

"Because maybe, possibly, in a way, I may, sorta...like you." She muttered, looking down to hide her blush.

"Really? You like me too? Are you sure?"

Sharpay laughed and nodded. "Yes, though I don't see why exactly. Maybe instead of a pedicurist I should hire a theripist."

"Haha." Troy replied sarcastically. "So this means I like you and you like me too right?"

"I guess."

"So..."

"So what?" She asked, holding her hand out in question.

Troy shook his head, moving closer to her and putting an arm around her wait. "So..." He whispered, nearing her even more.

"What are you doing?" She questioned.

"I'm trying to kiss you so shut up."

"Don't tell me to shut up. You shut up."

"Sharpay, you're not making this process go any faster and you're totally ruining the moment." He said, pressing his forehead to hers.

"Opps, sorry." She giggled. "Procede."

Troy grinned at her, and finally kissed her. This time without her tell him to shut up or pushing him away. They stood in the middle of the sidewalk, kissing passionatly. One of his hands on her cheek, the other around her wait, bringing her closer. Her hands on the back of his head and neck. After a couple minutes they pulled away from lack of air, pressing their foreheads together.

"I'm glad you didn't push me away this time." He murmered, carassing her cheek with his hand.

"So am I." She smiled.

Troy simply smiled back, capturing her lips once again.

Meanwhile.....

Chad looked at the two through the restaruant window in shock. "Oh...now I get it." He muttered to himself, looking down at the bill for the food. "I get to pay the bill while he gets to make out with Sharpay. Not fair."

-----

Sorry it's a short chapter, but it just kind of worked out like that. Next chapter...Gabrirella and Taylor return. Dun dun dun. Haha, it's going to be bad. And I just love the line "I'm trying to kiss you so shut up." It so sounds like something Sharpay would say. I love that Troy says it though.

ANyways, I've been sick the past week so I havn't been able to get on but hopefully I'll be able to update soon. Please review!

-Peace!
