Sharpay's POV:
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Troy had his arms around Gabriella and he was kissing her. Tears started to run down my cheeks as Troy lifted his head and give me a shocked look. I took a few steps back, keeping my mouth shut until I fumbled out the doors. I was planning on booking it. I was going to run as fast as possible, I was too busy making sure Troy wasn't chasing me that I wasn't watching where I was going and bumped into Ms Darbus.
"Ms Evans what are you doing here so early?" she asked giving me a questioning look. "I just came to get some stuff that I left in the auditorium the other night." I was trying, with all my will, not to burst into a hysteric fit of tears.
"Are you still thinking of leaving the play?" she asked and I nodded yes, "Didn't your brother or Mr. Bolton talk with you yesterday like I asked?" when she said his name my heart fluttered, not in a good way either. Then I realized, he hadn't said that stuff because he felt them. He said them for the sake of the play, because Ms Darbus had instructed him to. Tears began running down my face, adding to the already wet mess.
"Sharpay, why on earth are you crying?" Ms Darbus asked. "Its nothing, I think the whole graduation thing is just making me emotional. Besides your star is back, I bet you want to go talk to her, she's in the auditorium." I said trying to clean my face, I
heard some steps near the door and knew exactly who they belonged to. "Look, Ms Darbus I have to go, I will see you later" I started down the hallway at a fast speed to ensure Ms Darbus wouldn't catch up to me. I heard Troy calling my name, but kept walking or, running.
The last thing I heard was Ms Darbus greeting Gabriella. I went strait to the nurses office and told an fictitious story about throwing up in the ladies room and she excused me for the rest of the day. I couldn't stand to hear my happy peers talking about Gabriella's homecoming, it was all too much.
To my luck the house was empty when I got there. I got a glass of water from the kitchen and went to my room. I cried for most of the day, ignoring the constant calls from Ryan and Troy. I must have fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes it was already dark outside. On my night stand was a my favorite kind of chocolate and a glass of milk. Beside it was a note:
If you want to talk you know where to find me. Always.
Love Ryan
I smiled when I read the note. I didn't want to talk with anyone at the
moment. I opened my cell phone, I had a lot of missed calls and new messages. Most of them from Troy, damn him why does he bother me, he has to be happy with Gabriella. I closed my cell phone and opened my laptop before go down to eat something, a message quickly appeared on the screen informing me of new mail. I saw that all of them were from Troy. The first on said;
Pay
Why did you leave? I got worried. I didn't know that Gabriella would be coming back, especially not today. It doesn't change what I said yesterday; I want to be your friend again.
The second one was much shorter;
Sharpay please call me.
The third one;
I'm getting worried. I hope you aren't mad at me. Call me.
I didn't want to open the other mails I knew exactly what they would say, the other three basically all said the same thing just in different words, the others wouldn't be any different, I figured. I opened my IM and saw he was signed on. Of course an IM from 'BasketKing' popped up.
BasketKing: Sharpay!
Fabgirl: Hey
BasketKing: I'm sorry about today I didn't know that Gabby was coming home
today.
FabGirl: Don't worry, I'm happy for you. Now that Gabriella is back you can
be happy again
BasketKing: Pay…
FabGirl: I have to go, I'm starving, toodles.
I didn't wait for his answer, just signed out and went down stairs. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, I could feel it in my knees.

Normal POV
Sharpay decided to avoid the wildcats all day, as much as she wanted to she couldn't miss class again, when she stepped out of her pink car she saw all the
wildcats, including Ryan, talking and laughing, it was like everyone was in a circle around the king and queen, Troy and Gabriella.
Sharpay just passed by them, ignoring the constant looks from the group. She just
entered the school and walked to her pink locker. Hearing everyone around her talk about how Gabriella's return she felt the anger build up, inside of her, into a tight knot in her abdomen. She slammed her locker and was surprised to see her brother's smiling face when she spun around.
"A penny for your thoughts" he said while she started to walk down the hall. "I'm waiting for you to let your guard down." he said, she just ignored him, "Why can't you just say what you want to? Tell me how you feel, how Troy and Gabriella are making you feel right now." she was still ignoring him, "It isn't good to keep everything inside." he noted.
The blonde, female version of him, took a large breath and looked at him. "What do you want me to say? That I'm not happy Gabriella is back, that it is splitting my heart strait down the middle? You may think that I'm lying but, I'm that she is back. Now the play will work out and all that hard work won't go to waste. Everybody is going to be so happy to see Gabby and Troy on stage that their faces will hurt from smiling. But, what about me Ryan? I will be in the audience clapping as if I am as happy as them" she turned around and walked fiercely away. But her brother could see the tears in her eyes and hear the lie in her voice.
"Pay, come on. Let's go somewhere we can talk." Ryan said taking her arm in his, but she shook herself free. "No Ryan. We have class now and I don't want to talk about it." she spat. With those word Sharpay started to walk to class. She said in the chair nearest to the window, in the first row, as far away from the wildcats as she could be.
The minutes passed and her thoughts were starting to go back to the times way before Gabriella ever stepped foot in east high, when her and Troy were best friends. But, they both changed and drifted apart. She missed those days…
In a moment Sharpay opened her eyes and the classroom was full of people. She could hear Gabriella's tales of college from where she was sitting. She glanced over and Troy was looking at her. Luckily, the teacher entered the classroom, causing Troy to look away. This was going to be a very long day she thought again and again.
It was already time for lunch, Sharpay entered the cafeteria with Tiara and other members of the drama club. Sharpay walked to her usual table noticing that Troy wasn't at his table where Taylor, Gabriella, Chad and the rest of the wildcats talked happily. Sharpay almost jumped when she heard a voice behind her.
"Hey Sharpay" she turned to see Zeke smiling at her, she should have know it would be him, with a paper bag in his hands. "Cookies? Thank you so much! I love your cookies!" she shrieked pulling one out of the bag and taking a bite. "I'm glad you like them." he smiled and she started to walk away. "Hey Sharpay I wanted to ask you something" the boy asked shyly. "Yeah sure" she turned around. " Not now, meet me at the gym after the last class" he was cracking his knuckles, a nervous habit. Sharpay gave him one of her smiles that could melt the most frozen heart and started to walk to her table again but her cell phone started to vibrate in her pocket from the depths of her purse. She opened her cell phone, handing her stuff to Tiara, she had received a text message it was from Troy:
'Please Pay… meet me in the auditorium now!'
Sharpay grabbed her bag of cookies and whispered something to Tiara before walking alone out of the cafeteria.
