His Passions

Dedicated: To my readers, reviewers, friends, and Rachael for her help in ideas for my story.

A/n: I would have updated faster, but I went on a sleepover, we have had a bunch of guest over at my house, and I have been busy.

A/n2: Luna, you said that Emily was his mom. Well yeah, it is, but if you noticedTroy's mom and dad were talking to Emily. Maybe, Emily was named after his mom! (Hint)

I could not wait to get to school tomorrow and I had another sleepless night, but I did not care. This Emily girl seemed the answer to my questions.

I got up early for my standards the next morning. First, I showered and dressed, then went down for some breakfast.

"Why you look chipper this morning Troy," exclaimed my mom.

"Well, I have a feeling that today is a great day mom. I can feel it in my bones," I joked.

"Troy, don't starts talking like your Grandpa Henry. He says that he can feel everything in his bones, but he just feels pain," she laughed.

"Well, mom I got to get to the bus stop bye!" I called.

"Troy, you have plenty of time! For once you actually aren't late," she said.

"There is nothing wrong with getting there early bye mom," I smiled and answered.

I walked to my stop and it was a chilly morning for Albuquerque.

"Hey Troy!" said Chad.

"Gosh man, how do you always beat me even when I'm early? I asked.

"Well, I like to beat you since you beat at just about everything else," he chuckled as the bus pulled up. He shoved his way past me and got on.

I decided to sit with Gabriella on the bus again.

"Hi Troy, how are you this morning," she inquired in her Gabi way.

"I'm fine, just excited," I responded

"You're excited why?" she asked with a little loss of words.

"Well, you know the whole acting mystery thing?" I said.

"Yes, Troy practically everyone knows," she responded matter of factly.

"My parents still haven't told me why, but I had a flashback," I rushed. Gabriella simply nodded and beckoned me to continue.

"In my flashback there was a girl named Emily," I started.

"Wait, isn't that your mother's name?" she asked.

"Yeah it is, I didn't even think about that. Anyway, Emily was telling my parents to sign me up for an acting class. My dad was hesitant at first and then he agreed. My mom said that I would love it and I could see her in a production of Peter Pan," I rushed.

"That's weird, but interesting. Troy, do you ever remember seeing this girl? Whether you have or not I think you should ask Sharpay and Ryan if they know her," she said cutting me off.

"She looks really familiar, but I cannot place where I know her. Gabi, I am one-step ahead of you. I already planned to talk to Sharpay and Ryan," I replied smugly. I got off the bus with a kiss for her and I rushed off to Sharpay's locker.

I stood there for 5 minutes waiting for her when I spotted Chad.

"Chad, I was wondering can you go and stand by Ryan's locker. I am waiting for one of the twins to ask about Emily," I said.

"Of course I will, but he could have already gone to his locker," he replied.

"Yeah, I know, but I still want a post," I responded and Chad headed off.

I sat there for 15 minutes until the bell rang and I realized I had not gone to my own locker. I rushed to my locker, which was near Sharpay's and ran to Ms. Darbus's room.

"Ah, Mr. Bolton you're late. I'll cut you some slack, because we had a lot of other late people," she said eyeing the class.

"Thank you Ms. Darbus," I muttered and took my seat.

"Now people, I would just like to remind you that tickets for the winter musicale are going on sale a little earlier than we expected which is in 1 week. So support the drama club!" she cheered.

"Ms. Darbus I think twice as many people as usual will come to the show!" Jason shouted.

"Why is that Jason? Oh, and next time raise your hand," she said.

"Well except for the people who did come to the callbacks, no one has heard Troy Bolton sing. I think people will come out of sheer curiosity," he stated. I turned bright pink with that comment, another thing to worry about if I could be in the production.

After Ms. Darbus's class, I went off to my other classes. When the bell rang for lunch, I sprinted to the lunchroom.

"Ryan, Sharpay, I need to talk to you," I panted.

"Is something wrong Troy?" Ryan asked.

"No, but first of all where were you guys this morning? I waited by Sharpay's locker and Chad by Ryan's locker," I said.

"Oh, our parents dropped up off pretty early and we got to our locker's before you got to school," Sharpay said.

"Troy, before you ask them do you want to sit down and eat your lunch?" inquired Taylor.

"Oh right," I said looking disoriented. The whole gang sat down at a table together and I questioned Ryan and Sharpay.

"You all know about the acting thing right?" I said.

"Troy, didn't I tell you everyone already knew?" said Gabi and I ignored that.

"Let me guess, you want to know who this Emily girl is," supplied Ryan.

"How did you know about that?" I asked.

"Chad told Sharpay and me during World History when Mr. Binns (HP) was droning on," he answered.

"Well, first of all can you tell me what she looks like?" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah, she was medium height with blond hair and blue eyes. She was talking about the play Peter Pan. This is only a guess, but I had a feeling she was Wendy," I rushed.

"Well, I don't remember all the leads of our elders in plays, but Peter Pan was our first play. I know who she is!" Sharpay yelled exasperated and Ryan shrugged, because he had no clue.

"OH MY GOSH!" she screamed and people turned to stare.

"What, do you know who she is?" I inquired.

"I don't know, but I remember her last name. Her name was Emily Bolton!" she said.

"That is your mom's name Troy. I mean Bolton is a bit common, but was she named after your mom?" said Chad.

I was not listening, because I was in a trance. Suddenly, memories and flashbacks were poring through my head.

Flashbacks

"Troy, mom and dad are going out tonight, so I get to baby sit you! We can watch movies and have so much fun," laughed Emily.

"I can't wait! It's so fun when you baby sit," I responded.

"Emily, I slipped and got a cut, it hurts. Then these big boys laughed and said cry-baby," I stammered.

"It's ok, forget about them just know I love you and nothing else matters," she whispered to me as she got a Band-Aid.

"Look Emily, I can recite my ABC's. a-b-c-d-e-f…," I stated.

"Troy, I am so proud of you. You are growing up fast, soon you'll be going to kindergarten," she cheered

"Troy, are you there?" yelled Kelsi.

"Huh? What, oh yeah I am here. I just spaced out a little. I am guessing that you want to know who Emily is. Emily is my sister, but she died and I don't remember how," I stuttered.

"Troy, I am so sorry I did not remember either. Now that I think about it I remember one time she baby sat for us when we were little," murmured Chad. All the others murmured an apology. I could not sit there with everyone else, I needed to get out, but I could not leave school.

Therefore, I went to the next best thing, the bathroom. I started hitting myself with my hand. I had such a loving sister and she dies. Then, I forget about her and tell everyone that I am an only child. One thing was for sure. I need to talk to my parents as soon as possible.

After school, I raced home from the bus stop to see my mom in the kitchen.

"Mom, I need to talk to you. I know about Emily. I know who she is. She was my sister," I panted my short choppy sentences.

My mom did not reply, because she was dumbstruck.

Did you like it? Did Emily's character throw you off? So, please review with your comments and feedback. BTW: I noticed I am on some people's alerts and favorites, but they have not reviewed. Well, enough of my babbling, press the purple button.
