--Wednesday Morning--

"Sharpay, you need to wake up now," Jason says the next morning while gently shaking her.

"What time is it?" Sharpay asks rubbing her eyes.

"It's 6 o'clock, so come on, you need to get up if you want to get something besides mine to wear to school," Jason says and goes to get up but is pulled back into bed by Sharpay.

"I don't want to go to my house this morning, I'll just wear something of yours," Sharpay says smiling.

"You really want to wear some of my clothes?" Jason asks looking at her shocked.

"Yeah, I do," Sharpay says still smiling at him.

"Okay, will jeans and another one of my old jerseys, be okay?" Jason asks.

"Sure," Sharpay says getting up and heading into the bathroom.

"I'm going to put the clothes on the counter and then go make some breakfast," Jason says to Sharpay through the door.

"Okay, you can come in, I'm only putting my hair up so I can clean my face," Sharpay says.

"Oh, okay," Jason says and walks in and puts the clothes on the counter and then walks out.

After 20 minutes, give or take some, Sharpay comes into the kitchen wearing Jason's freshmen year jersey and a pair of jeans with a flat pair of shoes.

"How do I look?" Sharpay asks.

"You look absolutely stunning," Jason says as he puts a plate of pancakes on the table for her.

"This breakfast looks just as good as yesterday's breakfast," Sharpay says as she sits down.

"There's a surprise inside the pancakes," Jason says as he sits down as well.

"What kind of surprise?" Sharpay asks looking suspiciously at him.

"A good surprise," Jason says as he takes a bite of his.

"Bananas!" Sharpay exclaims once she has taken a bite as well.

"At least we know that you can tell the difference between fruits," Jason says jokingly.

"Very funny Jason," Sharpay says before going back to eating her pancakes.

"Hey Sharpay, I've been thinking about what you said last night, you know, about your dream, and what if what I'm going to tell Coach Bolton is what I was telling the Coach in Chad's version?" Jason asks, looking worried.

"Jason, I never told you what everyone said," Sharpay says looking up at him.

"Yeah you did," Jason says.

"I don't remember telling you," Sharpay says still looking at him.

"It was after you apologized for not realizing that I was in the same French class as you since freshmen year," Jason explains.

"I was asleep, so I must have been semi-conscious when I was telling you," Sharpay says sighing a little.

"Oh, okay," Jason says.

"And I highly doubt that you telling Coach Bolton that you need to protect me from Jordan is what you told him from Chad's version of the story," Sharpay says before finishing her breakfast.

"Are you almost ready to leave?" Jason asks.

"I just need to brush my teeth then I will be," Sharpay answers while running upstairs.

-------------------------------------

--Wednesday Afternoon--

"Hay Jason, are you busy this afternoon?" Zeke asks after basketball practice.

"Yeah, I am, sorry dude," Jason says before walking out of the locker room.

"Why is he so busy this week?" Troy asks Zeke once they hear the locker room door close.

"I have no idea," Zeke says shrugging.

"Plus, he and Jordan haven't been talking since Monday; do you think something's going on?" Chad asks.

"No, ya think?" Troy and Zeke say together.

"What? It was a simple question," Chad says.

"Hey guys," Jordan says coming into the locker area from the showers.

"Hey Jordan," Zeke and Troy say glaring at him.

"Jordan; are you and Jason… ow," Chad starts to say before getting smacked up-side the head by Troy.

"Are me and Jason what?" Jordan asks.

"Never mind," Chad mutters turning back to his locker.

"We gotta go meet up with our girlfriends; let's go," Troy says grabbing the back of Chad's shirt while Zeke jumps up.

"See ya later, dude," Chad says to Jordan.

"Those three need to get lives," Jordan says.

--Jason's Truck--

"Hey baby," Jason says snaking his arms around Sharpay's waist and turning her around.

"Oh, hey Jay," Sharpay says wrapping her arms around Jason's neck.

"Are you ready to head home?" Jason asks.

"You bet; did you talk to Coach Bolton today?" Sharpay asks.

"Yeah, he said that as long as you need to be protected, I can miss practice," Jason says helping her into the truck.

"That was nice," Sharpay says giving Jason a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah it was," Jason says smiling at her.

"So, are we stopping by my house today?" Sharpay asks once Jason has gotten into the driver's seat.

"Yeah, but we can't get everything right now," Jason says holding her hand.

"Fine by me," Sharpay says.

--Sharpay's House--

"You know, I've been inside your house before, I've only seen the outside of it," Jason says as he follows Sharpay upstairs to her room.

"Not very many people have seen the inside of it," Sharpay says.

"If Ryan's always with Kelsi and you're now living with me, where is Emma staying?" Jason asks as they pass Emma's room.

"She's staying with the Bolton's," Sharpay answers as she unlocks her bedroom door.

"Why is your bedroom door locked?" Jason asks as Sharpay opens the door.

"Because, my room betrays me; everyone thinks that I like Troy, but my room says differently," Sharpay says walking into the room slowly.

"Your room shows who you really like," Jason says as he looks around the room and everywhere that he looks he sees pictures… of himself.

"What do you think?" Sharpay asks.

"Shar, where did you get all of these pictures?" Jason wonders out loud.

"I took most of them," Sharpay says grabbing two small suitcases from the closet, both pink and both with her initials on them in sparkles.

"What are you going to get?" Jason asks watching her.

"Not much, just some of my favorite outfits and then some jewelry and make-up," Sharpay says as opens the other door to her closet.

"Your closet is huge," Jason says.

"And believe it or not, only a fourth of it is clothes, one fourth is shoes, another fourth is purses, and the last fourth is…," Sharpay says before turning around to look at Jason.

"What's wrong?" Jason asks walking over to her.

"Look in the closet and figure out what the last fourth of my closet holds," Sharpay says as tears start to brim at the bottom of her eyes.

"Shar, I don't know what can be so…," Jason says before seeing what was in her closet.

"Jason, you need to understand, I love you, but I didn't know how to let go of my crush on Troy," Sharpay says grabbing his hands.

"You just told me that your room betrays you by saying that you like me; but you have a whole section of your closet devoted to Troy Bolton," Jason says pulling his hands away from hers and walking out of her, down the stairs and out the front door.

"JASON!" Sharpay yells after him and runs down the stairs.

"WHAT? What can you possibly say or do to make up for the fact that you just lied to my face?" Jason asks.

"Jason; I'm sorry; I meant to throw all of that stuff out when I started liking you, but how was I supposed to when everyone thinks that I love Tory Bolton?" Sharpay asks as tears run down her face.

"I don't know, but come find me when you've: a.) figured that out and b.) gotten rid of everything that has to do with Troy Bolton!" Jason yells before slamming the door in her face.

"What am I going to do?" Sharpay asks herself.

"Throw out all of the stuff in your closet…," Ryan says.

"And then go get Jason back," Emma finishes for her brother.

"What are you two doing here?" Sharpay asks.

"We've been here the whole time, plus, Kelsi had to go on vacation with her family," Ryan says shrugging.

"And Mrs. Bolton told me that I had to come home for a little bit and spend some time with the two of you," Emma says rolling her eyes.

"You do spend too much time with Emily," Ryan mutters under his breath.

"HELLO! I'm having a bit of a boyfriend crisis here!" Sharpay yells.

"Sorry Shar, we'll help you get rid of the stuff," Emma says walking over and giving Sharpay a hug.

"Thanks," Sharpay says.

"What are we going to do with it?" Ryan asks as he follows his sisters up the stairs.

"I want it all burned," Sharpay says.

"BURNED?" Emma and Ryan ask together.

"Yes, burned," Sharpay says.

"Fine; I'll go get the grass in the backyard wet," Ryan says.

"Thanks Ryan," Emma says as she grabs her cell phone.

"Who are you calling?" Sharpay asks.

"You'll see," Emma says as she hits #4 on her speed dial.

A/N: If you have read 'Evil Comes In the Form of… Troy!' you might remember Emma hitting #3 on her speed dial to call Kelsi and I listed everyone on her speed dial, well as you have just read, Emma's speed dial has come back into play in this story and now Emma need's to call #4… who is going to be? Well if you have read my other story… then you already know… but if you haven't… then I can't tell you. – Emma)

"Hello?" a voice says from the other end.

"Hi, it's Emma; could you possibly come over to my house for something?" Emma says.

"What for?" the guy says.

"You'll see when you get here," Emma says rolling her eyes.

"Fine, I'll be right there," the guy says.

"Thanks; see you in a little bit," Emma says before hanging up.

"Emma Elizabeth Evans! If you don't tell me who you just called, you will be in a…," Sharpay starts to say before being cut off by the doorbell.

"Why don't you go answer the door, Shar," Emma says before running upstairs.

"I'm not done with you yet Emma!" Sharpay yells, "I'm coming," Sharpay says as whoever rang the doorbell rings it again.

"Hey Shar," Jason says looking down.

"What are you doing here?" Sharpay asks.

"Emma just called me," Jason says.

"You were the one she called?" Sharpay asks in astonishment.

"Yeah; now why did she ask me to come back?" Jason asks.

"I have no idea," Sharpay says as she makes to head up the stairs but is pulled back by Jason.

"What, no kiss for your boyfriend?" Jason asks before kissing her.

"Shar, the backyard is…," Ryan starts to say as he comes in.

"Ryan, get up here and help me with this junk," Emma says from Sharpay's doorway.

"What about these two?" Ryan asks.

"Leave them alone and just get up here," Emma says with a glare.

"Fine, I'm coming," Ryan says taking two stairs at a time.

--5 minutes later--

"Sharpay, we're ready to burn all of the stuff, are you coming?" Ryan asks as he and Emma come down the stairs.

"Huh, oh yeah, I'm coming," Sharpay says pulling away from Jason.

"What exactly are you guys burning?" Jason asks as he and Sharpay walk hand-in-hand into the backyard.

"All the stuff that was in my closet that has to do with Bolton," Sharpay says through her teeth.

"Hey; stop saying Troy's last name like that… do you forget that his younger sister is my best friend?" Emma asks as she and Ryan throw the stuff they are holding into a pile.

"Sorry Em," Sharpay says.

"Whatever, just stand back," Emma warns as she, Sharpay, Ryan and Jason all step back and Ryan lights a match and throws it onto the pile of stuff.

After 5 minutes or so, everything in the pile has been burned and all four teenagers are extremely happy about it, but mainly Sharpay and Jason.

"Let's finish getting your stuff together and then go home," Jason says to Sharpay.

"But she is home," Ryan says.

"Jay, I haven't told them yet," Sharpay says softly.

"Haven't told us what?" Ryan asks.

"That I'm living with Jason for the week, and maybe even longer," Sharpay says.

"Excuse me?" Ryan asks.

"You heard me perfectly fine Ryan! I'm living with Jason, since all you seem to care about is Kelsi," Sharpay says and then rounds on Emma, "and all you seem to care about is hanging out with Emily," Sharpay says before running into the house.

"What's been going on with Sharpay lately?" Emma asks.

"Well let's see; Ryan is constantly with Kelsi, you're constantly with Emily, and your parents aren't home much, so when she started getting stalked by Jordan, she came to for help and she's been staying at my apartment for the last few nights," Jason says before running after Sharpay.

As Jason got to the stairs, Sharpay met him at the bottom.

"Jason, I'm ready to go now," Sharpay says carrying nothing but a small backpack.

"Okay, let's go," Jason says taking her hand and walking toward the door.

"Sharpay wait," Ryan says coming through the back door.

"What do you want?" Sharpay asks harshly.

"I want you to stay," Ryan says.

"Shar, we're sorry about making you feel lonely; personally, I realized what we were doing in the back of my mind, but it wasn't that strong so I didn't do anything about it; is there anything we can do to make you stay?" Emma asks.

"No, I've made my decision, I'm living with Jason," Sharpay says before she and Jason walk out the front door and to Jason's truck.

"Shar, do you have your denim outfit?" Jason asks as they climb into the trunk.

"Yeah, it's in my backpack," Sharpay says before leaning over and kissing him gently.

"Good," Jason says smiling at her before starting to drive to the apartment.
