Chapter Three

Money Matters

"Evans a word" a voice broke the conversation.

"Sure, I'll be baaaccckk" she stared speaking and droned when she got pulled by the arm into the nearest classroom

"Listen Bolton" she shouted knowing who it was.

"Shut up for one second Evans" he demanded, he said as he started pacing the room

"What's wrong with you Bolton, ants in your pants?" Sharpay laughed sitting down at one of the desks.

"No, Sharpay I don't have ants in my pants I'm trying to think" he pointed out.

"That must hurt" she gave him a sympathetic look.

"Look Evans I'm not really in the mood for games right now, how are we going to get money?" he spoke with a serious look on his face.

"Is that what you're worried about?" Sharpay said with ease.

"I just said that didn't I" he said obviously.

"I'll ask my dad I'm sure he'll be happy to sponsor the prom and get his company some exposure" she said confidently as she put her hands on the desk.

"Are your sure that will work?" Troy questioned.

"After all I am his favourite daughter" Sharpay said flaunting as she got up from the desk.

"You're his only daughter" Troy pointed out, his parents were friends with the Evans and he knew they had two sons and one daughter, Ryan, Sharpay and their younger brother Brandon.

"Shut up" Sharpay said cross that he had caught her out. "And next time you yank me from the hallway you better watch your back" he threatened as she left the room.


It was the next day and the two had decided to meet in one of the empty classrooms like they had been doing, Sharpay had theatre practice and Troy had basketball practise so they were going to meet after that.

"Sorry Sharpay, I got held back my dad wanted to talk to me about-" he tried to explain why he was late.

"You lost me at Sharpay" he got cut off by the annoyed voice that belonged to Sharpay, getting uninterested in his explanation.

"Okay whatever, let's just get this done" he stated, knowing the faster they got started the faster they could leave, he didn't like having to stay in school till late he would rather be anywhere but here.

"Fine by me, I do have better places to go to then stay at school with you" she snapped back, having the same thoughts he was having.

"What time is it?" Sharpay asked frightfully.

"Half 5" he answered as he glanced at his watch.

"Do you think the bank will still be open?" she asked anxiously.

"I don't know why" he replied back cautiously wondering why she was asking him about the bank.

"Because my dad gave me the cheque and he said if I don't cash it in today then we don't get the money for the prom" She explained to him quickly getting up and pulling him up.

"What are you waiting for let's go and get it chequed then?" he said as he grabbed her hand and they ran out into the hallway.

"Yeah I hope so" Sharpay exaggerated as they made their way to the car park.

(I wrote this scene and then had to re write it because I accidentally deleted it, lol)


Neither spoke a word on the ride to the bank without arguing Sharpay had gotten into Troy's car they exhanged worried looks ever now and then trying to reassure each other. Tro y parked the car, and Sharpay opened the door as soon as the car came to a halt, she poked her head back in the car and shook her head telling him all he needed to know and slumped back onto her seat.

"Damn what are we going to do?" Troy slammed his hand on the steering wheel, getting angry at their circumstances with no money there was going to be no prom which was the initial problem.

"This prom seems to not want to go ahead" Sharpay referred, glimpsing to take a look at Troy who had the same look on his face that she had on hers.
