A/N Thanks again to krfan, Draco's Guardian Angel and jenpen1027 for their reviews. I know that the last couple of chapters have been a bit depressing, but things are definitely going to start to look up from here.

Orange

"Hey Shar," Sharpay heard her boyfriend say to her one day during art class, "could you pass me the orange paint please?"

"Sure," she replied as she disinterestedly handed the can of paint to him.

Zeke frowned, Sharpay sure hasn't been herself lately, he thought to himself. I wonder what is going on.

Sharpay sighed. What's wrong with me, she asked herself as she continued to work on her painting, why can't I just shake off this bad feeling that I have been having? It had been a whole week since the day that Sharpay had lied to Kelsi about Ryan, and the guilt of what happened was starting to get to her. Ever since that day both Ryan and Kelsi have been doing a pretty good job avoiding of each other, and while it makes it kinda awkward during classes, it is really starting cause some problems during rehearsals. Not only does it make it harder for Sharpay who needs both of their expertise to help her for her numbers, but the other wildcats are starting to notice as well. "I wonder what's up with Evans and small person lately," Sharpay heard Chad ask Troy one day after one particularly stressful practice. "Is everything alright between them."

"I don't know," she heard Troy reply. "But let's just hope for his sake, that he didn't hurt her."

Sharpay frowned, she knew how over protective the basketball team was of Kelsi, and she wasn't thrilled at the idea of them beating up on Ryan. Especially since it's my fault in the first place, she thought solemnly.

And, if that wasn't enough, life at home was almost worst. Since that day, Ryan has been avoiding his sister like she had the plague and only talking to her when necessary, and since both their parents gone out of the country, the house has been pretty lonely. I miss Ryan, Sharpay thought mournfully the paint starting to get on her new outfit, I wish things would go back to the way they were.

"Are you okay," Sharpay heard a voice ask. Looking up at her boyfriend she gave a small smile. "Everything's fine," she replied lying through her teeth. Zeke frowned, something's up, he thought vowing to talk to her later.

"So," Zeke said as the two met later at his house, their calculus homework spread across the table , "what's up?"

"Nothing," Sharpay replied keeping her eyes focused on the book in front of her. Zeke rolled his eyes, he knew Sharpay well enough to know that, it wasn't the case. And considering he had also noticed that she has been in this mood since the thing between Ryan and Kelsi, he was willing to bet she had something to do with it.

"This has nothing to do with Ryan and Kelsi does it," he asked gently, noticing her flinch at the mention of her brother's name, he assumed he was correct. "What happened," he asked.

Sharpay sighed, I might as well tell him the truth, she thought. "Okay," she admitted aloud, "It's my fault that those two are mad at each other in the first place. I lied to Kelsi by tell her that Ryan that just using her." Looking at Zeke's expressionless face, she continued tears streaming down her eyes. "I'm sorry okay."

Zeke looked at her with compassion, "Why did you do it," he asked, as he gave her a hug."

"I don't know," she sobbed, "I guess I was just jealous."

"Of Kelsi?"

She nodded. "Why."

"I don't know, I guess that I was thinking that if Ryan was with Kelsi, then he wouldn't want anything to do with me."

"You know that's not true," Zeke answered, "Ryan will always love you."

"I'm not so sure about that anymore," she answered, "he is pretty mad at me."

"He'll get over it," Zeke reinsured her.

"How do you know" Sharpay asked confused.

Zeke smiled, "Because, I think I have a plan to get them back together."
