"What would you guys like to do this weekend?" Gabriella asked, as she played with her hair.
"How about we have a mixed sleepover... and play traditional games like 7 minutes in heaven?" Taylor asked, suggesting activities.
"Sure, we'll have it at mine and Ryan's house." Sharpay said laying a hand on her chest. "But how do you play 7 minutes in heaven?"
Gabriella and Taylor stared at each other and burst out laughing. "Puh-lease Sharpay, don't play dumb with us."
"No, I'm serious, how do you play?"
"Well," Taylor started, "It starts with two people being chose-"
"Alright people take a seat, take a seat. We'll be beginning classes shortly, so hurry up." Darbus yelled across the classroom.
"Talk to you later," Taylor whispered, before walking away with Gabriella taking their own assigned seats.
Sharpay sat down, and took out her binder.
"Before we begin our planned class, I want to show you an activity. This will be very beneficial for those in the drama club." Everyone groaned, they didn't want to start the last day of school with something to improve their acting abilities, even if the assigned day was all scheduled tests. "Sharpay," Darbus shrilled, "Will you go to the drama storage room, and get that cardboard tree for me. You know the one with the spray paint."
"Yeah, yeah." Sharpay remembered, "I'll go get it."
"Hold on, I'll come with you." Troy said raising a hand and dashing towards her. He turned to Darbus slowly and saw her that her face had turned crimson. "Ms. Darbus may I?" He asked, "After all, a skinny girl like her won't be able to carry a big tree all the way here."
After a moment of hesitation she reached her approval. "Sure, why not. Go ahead. But don't you two go dilly dally along the halls."
"We won't," Troy promised. He turned towards Sharpay who was already on her way to the room. "Hey, hold up!" He shouted.
"No! I don't want you to help me, go away!" Sharpay yelled. "The next time you want to help someone go help Gabriella or Chad or... anyone else but me!"
Troy looked at her taking a gulp of air, before running down the hall to her. "I already said I was sorry didn't I? I mean it wasn't my fault that Chad pushed me... head first... into your chest."
Sharpay growled in anger and walked faster towards the room.
"Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" Sharpay shrieked, as Troy walked just as fast leaning so close towards her she could feel his breath hot on her neck. "FINE! You can help me! Just stop breathing so hard!"
He snickered, and walked beside her as she slowed down. Works every time.
The two walked silently, but every few seconds, Troy would throw her a secret glance.
"What?!" Sharpay screeched after catching one of his glimpses.
"Nothing," Troy said turning red. He wanted her to forgive him, but didn't know how.
She made a quick swerve, kind of like the one Gabriella did on the first day of school, making him freeze as he turned his head towards her before walking after her.
She let out a sniffled breath, and opened the door that was lying ajar. Taking steps up the stage, she fast walked towards the storage room.
Click.
"Sharpay?"
"I'm over here." Sharpay said sternly, looking around for the tree.
"I think it's in the storage room over there." He said walking towards the closed room. He looked around and flicked on the light.
"Oh there it is." Sharpay said, running towards the fake tree.
"Noooooooo!" Troy yelled reaching towards the door. "Sharpay! It's a self lock door! Only people with the key can open the door even though we're inside!"
"Oh... whoops. My bad." Sharpay said, looking away from him, embarrassed.
"Nobody says 'my bad' anymore." Troy scoffed as he settled himself on the cool concrete floor.
"Fine, I'm sorry..." She paused looking for something to do. "So, do we just sit and wait for someone to come then?"
"Dur." Troy spat.
"Okay! You don't have to be so mean about it."
A minute went by and Sharpay kept walking around in circles. Wanting her to stop, he tried to start a conversation. "So," Troy began, "I guess this means it's equal."
"What's equal?" Sharpay asked, still standing around as if there would be a secret passage.
"Me falling into you headfirst, and you locking us in a storage room." He stated matter-a-factly.
"Oh."
"Anyways, how are you Sharpay?" Troy asked smiling.
"I'm good. How are you?" Sharpay asked back, trying to put the past behind her.
"I'm good, thanks."
"Any questions? Concerns?" Troy enquired.
Sharpay looked at him strangely. But quickly looked back. "Actually, I do have a question: How do you play 7 minutes in heaven?"
"Where did that come from?" He asked, looking at her wide-eyed.
"Taylor, Gabriella, and I were talking about having a 'mixed' sleepover, and Tay was suggesting games for it."
"Am I invited?" He sounded eager.
"Yeah, sure. As long as Chad's not within my 10 meter radius."
"Alright, it's a deal." Troy nodded.
"Tell me how to play seven minutes in heaven first."
Troy looked at her emotionless. "I have a better idea. How about I show you?"
"Okay!" Sharpay said excitedly.
"Alright, but you have to sit next to me." Troy agreed, patting the spot next to him.
She grudgingly slid over and took a seat next to him.
"So how do we play?" Sharpay asked, oblivious to the whole 'kissing Troy' thing.
"Firstly, two people are chosen either by spinning a bottle, or names drawn from a hat, or any other way people could think of. The two chosen people then go into a room or whatever for seven minutes-"
"What do people do in the rooms? What about the other people?" Sharpay questioned curiously.
"I was getting to that. The people who weren't chosen get to do anything they want outside of the room... while the chosen people... kiss each other." He swooped towards her and gave a passionate kiss.
Sharpay was surprised, but liked it. Soon she parted from him. "For seven minutes?"
"For seven minutes." He confirmed, diving in for another.
"I think I'll like this game." Sharpay whispered, as his lips touched hers.
"I'll only like it if you and I were chosen." Troy whispered back.
They kissed once more.
Meanwhile...
"Where is that Sharpay? I knew I shouldn't have allowed that basketball boy to help her." Darbus began to rant.
"Sharpay probably broke all the mirrors she saw and then asked Troy to help her clean it up." Chad suggested.
Instead of the class breaking into hysterical cackles they all glared at him.
"What?!" He shot, as he embarrassedly looked down.
"Maybe the got locked inside the storage room!" Taylor gasped looking at Darbus.
"Yes, well I guess that's a valid idea... I expect for you all to finish the assignment I assigned for you to finish tomorrow. Work on it while I go and retrieve those two."
She walked out of the class, and stomped her way towards the storeroom.
As she reached towards the door, she took out her key and jammed it into the lock.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Darbus asked, making the unaware teenagers look up in horror.
"I was just," Troy started looking at Sharpay uneasily, "... checking to see..."
"No need for excuses." Darbus said quietly, "I won't tell a soul. Now quickly, I'll bring the tree to the class, just in case you fall into Miss Evans headfirst again."
The two teens looked at each other horrified, but quickly dismissed the question.
After all, they already found their soulmates, and to them, nothing else mattered.
A/N: Sorry it was a little on the short side, and a bit cheesy. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it!
