The light was beaming in her eyes as she awoke from a deep sleep. There was another knock on her door
"Sharpay it's time to get up." a sweet voice called to her from the hallway.
"Mom, is that you?" Sharpay said as she got up from her king size heart shaped bed.
"Yes, it is." her mother said pleasantly as she opened her door.
"Mom, I need to talk to you."
"Ok honey tell me what's on your mind." her mother said as she sat down on her bed.
"Well. . .something happened yesterday." Sharpay confessed.
"Oh my god is everything alright, do I need to call the police.?" her spoke in a concerned voice.
"No, no it's nothing like that. Something happened between me and Troy." Sharpay said fidgeting with her covers.
"Troy. . .Troy Bolton?" her mother questioned.
"Yes, we. . .we were working on the Christmas Production together and something happened between us and we kissed." Sharpay searched her mothers face for an answer on what she should do next.
"Well, I thought you were dating Zeke. He seems like a really nice boy."
"Yeah , yeah I know. . .but what should I do about Troy?" Sharpay stared at her mother once again.
"Well, who would you rather be with?" her mother spoke in a comforting voice.
"I don't know, when I'm with Zeke he makes me laugh and we have a good time, but when I'm with Troy I feel a connection that I have never felt with anyone before." Sharpay smiled at the thought of Troy.
"Well it seems like to me that your heart has made up it's mind." she said smiling pointing to Sharpay's chest.
Sharpay's mom kissed her on her forehead as she got up from her bed and told her to get ready for school. Sharpay dressed in her usual extraordinary outfits, with sparkles and glitter.
When she was dressed she went down stairs and joined her bother at her kitchen table.
"Hey, Shar you finally decided to get up?" Ryan said as he took a sip of his coffee.
"What did I tell you about calling me "Shar", I told you didn't like it, and yes mom woke me up." Sharpay fired back.
"Oh, Sharpay while you were in the shower Troy called for you, he asked if you needed a ride school." her mom said as she poured a cup of coffee for herself.
"He did?" Sharpay smiled on the inside.
"Did he leave a number?" Sharpay asked excitedly.
"Yes he did." he mother handed a piece of paper to Sharpay with Troy's cell phone number on it.
"Excuse me." Sharpay said as she stood from the kitchen table to leave the room.
"Mom I thought she was dating Zeke." Ryan questioned.
"We'll see." she smiled as she sipped her coffee.

"Lean wit it, rock wit it" Troy's phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hi Troy it's Sharpay." Troy rose from the kitchen table as if he was shocked to hear from her.
"I was calling to say I would love a ride to school." Sharpay was nervous talking to Troy.
"Oh. . .ok, I'll be over soon to pick you up.
"Ok, that sounds great. It will give us a chance to talk.
They each hung up the phone and returned to their kitchen tables to finish breakfast.

Troy pulled up in his car and like a gentleman walked up to the door to get Sharpay. He rang the door bell. Sharpay opened the door with a smile.
"Hi Troy, I'll will be out in a second."
"Ok, take all the time you need." Troy said with a shy smile.
"Mom I'm leaving now, bye I love you." Sharpay shouted to her mom who was in the next room.
"Bye Sharpay, call me after school if you need a ride."
"Ok, bye."
Troy walked Sharpay down to his car and opened her door for her. On the ride to school neither spoke, they were like a fourth graders who had a crush on each other and didn't want to tell the other that they like them. When they parked in the school parking lot neither opened their door to leave. Sharpay turned to Troy. . .
"Troy. . .are you comfortable with what happened last night?" Sharpay looked into his eyes to see his reaction to the question.
"I-I. . .wh-well. . .are you comfortable with what happened last night?" Troy stuttered.
"I mean, I thought it was unexpected. . ."
Troy looked away from her,
"No, that's not what I meant. What I am trying to say is that it was beautiful." Sharpay reached out to Troy's chin and turned his face to look at hers.
Sharpay was feeling emotionally attached to Troy, she trusted him with her secrets and her virginity.
Troy smiled at what she said.
"Sharpay, I think . . .no I know I'm in love with you." Troy confessed.
Sharpay was shocked to hear this.
"Troy, are you sure?" Sharpay questioned.
"Yes, I'm sure. I have never felt this way bout anyone before. When I look into your beautiful brown eyes I get trapped every time, I can't help the way I feel I love you Sharpay." Troy looked deep into her eyes.
There was an awkward silence, then Sharpay blurted out. . .
"Troy. . .I-I love you too." Sharpay began to feel tears coming down her face. Troy wiped them with his thumb as he leaned in to kiss her. He kissed her gently but with passion.
When they broke away they decided not to go to school today but to take a drive and proclaim in their new found love.

During free period Gabriella was calm although she was worried sick about Troy, she didn't know where he was. When she saw Chad laughing as he walked down the hallway flirting with some girl, she gestured to him to come over to where she was.
"Hi, Chad have you seen Troy?" Gabriella questioned.
"No, sorry I haven't seen him all day either." Chad spoke still smiling at the girl he was walking with.
"Ok, well if you see him can you tell him to give me a call?"
"Sure, I will." Chad said as he walked away with the girl.
Chad was a big flirt, you would never find him taking to more than one girl for more than 5 minutes. He did try to date Taylor, but to him bronze can before brains and their relationship didn't work out, but they do occasionally text each other.
Throughout the day Gabriella was still looking and even calling Troy to see where he was, he didn't return her calls. At the end of the day when Troy and Sharpay returned from their road trip Gabriella saw them in the parking lot. Troy walked over to Sharpay's car door and opened it, when she got out he leaned down pulling her into a long passionate kiss. Gabriella was devastated, she couldn't believe at what she just saw. She felt the tears as they began to stream down her face, she felt sick as ran to the bathroom. When she was running through the hallway and passed Chad, he followed her to the bathroom but didn't go in. He waited until she came out and then again followed her but this time into the band room.
"Gabriella wait!" Chad shouted trying to get her to stop.
Gabriella was crying and Chad saw that she was hurt, and he was there to comfort her.
"Are you alright?" Chad asked being sincere.
Gabriella didn't answer him, she couldn't, what would she tell him, her boyfriend who she loved dearly and whom she assumed loved her too, kissing another girl.
"Gabriella talk to me." Chad said as he rubbed her shoulder.
When Gabriella finally got control of herself she told Chad what she had witnessed. After telling Chad what she saw, she sat down on the piano bench.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Gabby." Chad said as he hugged her.
Chad wiped the tears from her cheeks so he could see her beautiful face. Chad had always thought Gabriella was beautiful and that Troy was a lucky guy to be with her.
"Thank you for being here for me Chad, you are a good friend." Gabriella said wiping her nose.
"Of course I'm here for you, that's what friends are for." Chad smiled.
Gabriella was seeing a new side to Chad, a more sensitive side, a side that she liked a lot.
Gabriella was vulnerable and couldn't help but burry her head in Chad's chest. Chad held her close as if he was protecting her.
"Everything is going to be alright, I'm here for you." Chad whispered in her ear.
Gabriella listened to his words and buried her head deeper into his chest.
"You know he loves you, he loves you don't worry, I love you and I will always love you."
Chad's eye's grew wide.
Gabriella looked up at Chad and couldn't believe what she had just heard, Chad couldn't believe what he just said.
Gabriella looked into his eyes and knew he was serious about what he said. Chad looked into Gabriella's eyes and saw that she may have felt the same way.
Chad leaned down to kiss her and Gabriella moved up to kiss him, when they kiss they didn't kiss with so much that was passion, but more lust. They began to kiss and fondle each other and things got hot and heavy, before they knew it they were under the piano, hot and sweaty in a choir robe. Was Chad following in Troy's tracks not using protection?
I bet you didn't see that coming. . .LOL. . .I will be writing the next chapter in my journal when I leave for Minnesota and I will hopefully update when I get back. Thanks so much for reading my story!!!
