A new chapter! Am I updating to fast? That could be bad, you know? But, oh well…

Anyway, as always, thanks to: Penny, Awahili, digigirl02, Sony89, Dramione x3 for their reviews and to everyone who added this fic to their favorite/alert story list!

And so, here is the update. HSM belongs to Disney and as you might have already notice, the chapter title comes from a song by Rihanna, although it has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song…

Chapter 6.

Kisses don't lie.

"Please tell me you haven't just do what I think you did"

"I beg your pardon?"

"You know what I mean, Ryan Evans. Don't mess around with me!"

He thought he knew, but he wanted to be sure. There was no way Sharpay was getting a confession without him putting a bit of a fight.

"I really don't…"

"Have you just kissed her?!"

Yep. Exactly what he had thought. Damn, Sharpay knew him quite well!

"No. We were just talking"

She arched her eyebrows. No, she wasn't buying that. He smiled. Even if that was the truth… Sharpay wasn't going to be easy to convince.

"Shar, I've already told you. I have NOT those kinds of feelings towards Kelsi. She's just my friend"

Did he think she was stupid? Honestly! Did he really pretend that she believed that they were all alone in the auditorium, standing so close and just talking?! What kind of moron did he think she was?

"Fine. Do whatever you want, I don't care!" she snapped, quickly turning around and leaving. He sighed. God, his sister could be so scary!

"You gave her your hat"

"Yeah, well… she was feeling down and… well, what are friends for?"

Sharpay shook her head, wanting to slap her twin. He could be so infuriating! Not that she wanted him to confess her that he was madly in love with Kelsi, but she found insulting that he thought she was that stupid.

"It was your baby blue hat. Your favorite hat. You actually yelled at me for trying it on! Don't try to fool me, Ryan!"

"I'm not doing that, sis! Honestly, she's just my friend!"

Sooner or later, he would admit it. And no, she wasn't going to approve it. Nevertheless, it would be hilarious watching Ryan 'confess'. Oh, she was looking forward for it…

"Kiss me"

"Are you crazy? I could never…"

"Kiss me. Kiss me and, if after that you still wish me to leave, I'll never bother you again"

"You've lost your mind! A girl like me, falling for a man such as yourself! I…"

Sharpay rolled her eyes. Those lines… were a little too clichéd for her taste. They worked for the play, however. And yet… it was absolutely disgusting watching her brother and Kelsi saying them!

He really loved her, she could tell. No, he wouldn't admit it aloud and yes, he certainly was able to fool everyone else and even himself. However, Sharpay knew the truth. And she didn't like it. No, not at all...

It was in the way he kissed her. Yes, it was 'part of the act', but Sharpay knew better. She had seen Ryan kissing other girls and she had been kissed by him quite a few times too (and no, like she always explained her boyfriends, it wasn't 'incest', because on stage, they weren't brother and sister, but who ever they were pretending to be) and it was nowhere close to the way he kissed Kelsi.

He wasn't slow and tender with her, but rather passionate and rough. The girl seemed to enjoy it, though. Sharpay knew Ryan wouldn't be like that unless he really liked her. He just couldn't control himself. His emotions (and hormones) took over.

She bit her lower lip. It was going to be a lot more difficult than she had originally thought. And a lot crueler. But, desperate times ask for desperate measures. And no one could say that Sharpay Evans was afraid of being as mean as needed...

The last kiss. It was so horrifying thinking about it. But there was nothing else he could do. At least… not for now.

When she slapped him, he felt truly hurt. It felt like he was letting go something very important. Something very beautiful.

Her sweet, pink lips felt so good against his. Her petit form fit so well against his. Her lovely, curly hair felt so soft in his hands. She was so perfect!

He had to get her. How, when and where? Well, he was still unsure about that. But one day, somewhere and somehow, Kelsi Nielson was going to be his… or he will surely miserable for the rest of his life.

Unknown to him, almost the same thoughts were crossing Kelsi's mind.

"You were amazing!" Mrs. Darbus exclaimed, happily. The rest of the members in the drama club were now chatting among themselves, the play finally over a few minutes ago.

Ryan was leaning against the wall, watching the woman ramble. He looked for Kelsi, who was sitting over a box, playing with one of her curls. She was still wearing her costume: a large, medieval, red dress, which was a little too long for her (it was supposed to fit Alison, after all) and above her head was a little, shinny tiara. She looked a bit ridiculous, but for the boy, she was the most beautiful woman in the whole world.

My damsel in distress he thought, smiling. Oh, how much he wanted to approach her and hold her in his arms… and perhaps, give her a little kiss on the lips… actually, he might just do that…

"Hi, my brave knight in shiny armor"

Or maybe not. No, he didn't think that Angelique would appreciate that. And he was quite sure Sharpay will kill him if the girl broke up with him. So, better to stay in his 'safe zone'.

After all, he could try to get Kelsi later, as long as he was alive…

They waited in the car, Sharpay reapplying her makeup, while Kelsi keep playing with her hair.

"Want some makeup?" asked the blond, after she made sure she was looking astonishing.

"I don't wear makeup" answered the brunette, avoiding the other's gaze.

"That's ridiculous! We are going to a party! You cannot go looking like that!"

Kelsi rolled her eyes. Personally, she thought nothing was wrong with the way she looked. Her hair was still down and she had some gloss on her lips. Honestly, what else did she need?

"Sharpay, I really appreciate your concern, but…"

"Oh, whatever" snapped the girl, looking at her own reflection in the mirror.

Ryan finally appeared, closely followed by Angelique, who was holding his arm and smiling. He opened the door for her (the one in the front, next to his sister) and she gave him a kiss, full in the mouth. He smiled, before opening the back door and taking a sit next to Kelsi, who was frowning a little.

And so, they went to the party…

The more Sharpay kept looking at his brother and at her new 'sister-in-law', the more she realized how perfect were Ryan and Kelsi for each other. How could she tell? Again, it was in the way they kissed. Sure, Angelique was practically all over her twin and he wasn't trying to run away, but he didn't seem very thrilled about the whole deal.

She frowned. What should she do? She wasn't evil enough to rip her own brother's heart, was she? And yet… If he really wants her, he will confront me. If he doesn't… well, losing his girl it's his own fault she assured herself and smirked.

Not even in a million years, Ryan will face her. Not even if hell froze over… right?

"Shar, can we talk?"

She smiled sweetly and took his hand, a clear indication that she was willing to do as he said. He led her outside the house, next to his car.

"What's wrong, Mathew?" she asked "you don't look very well"

"I… well, you see… I have something to tell you"

"Yes?" she didn't like his tone. She was quite sure of what was coming. Not that she really cared, but…

"I… want to break up with you"

She smirked. Yes, just what she was expecting. Oh, well, nothing was lost. There were so many other hot guys in the school.

"Okay. See you later"

"Wait! Aren't you gonna ask why or something?" he asked, seriously confused. Sharpay's smirk became wider. Yep, she had given a full blow to his ego.

"No. I really don't care" she answered, walking back to the party.

"Angelique and I are going back together"

That stopped her dead on her tracks. What?! But, that meant…

"She's breaking up with Ryan?! When?"

"Well… right now" said Mathew, still confused. That definitely wasn't the question he had been expecting…

"Damn!" exclaimed the blond, before rushing into the garden, looking for her brother.

Mathew watched her go and sighed. Definitely, Sharpay Evans was the weirdest girl he ever dated…

She needed to find him before he did something stupid! Something like throwing himself into Kelsi's arms. No, she couldn't allow that! Not even in a million years!

Stupid Angelique and stupid Mathew. Thinking they could break up with her brother and her just like that! They'll regret it, oh, they will! She would make sure of that!

But now, the most important thing, was finding Ryan…

"Ryan! Here you are! I've been looking for you all over the place!"

He looked at his sister, who looked like she had just run a marathon. Her face was all red and she was panting.

"Shar, are you alright?"

"Where's Angelique?"

"Oh… she left with Mathew. She broke up with me" he told her. He didn't look very sad about it. A little hurt, perhaps (his ego had been damaged, after all) but he didn't seem broken hearted.

"Where's Kelsi?"

"Shar, what's wrong?" he was really confused. Where the hell was that conversation going? Why did Sharpay look so freak out?

"Nothing. Where's Kelsi?" she repeated, still trying to catch her breath.

"Her mom came to pick her up half an hour ago. Sis, what's wrong? Does this have anything to do with Mathew broking up with you?"

She couldn't help to sigh, relieved. So, everything was normal. Kelsi had left before Ryan broke up with his girlfriend. Perfect, things were still under her control.

"I'm fine, Ryan. Don't worry. Let's go home, okay?"

He nodded and took his twin's arm. She smiled and walked with him to her car. In their way out, people looked at them, sending them pitiful glances. She just smiled more.

Everything was going to be alright. There will be other guys...

Now, however, her bigger concern, was keeping a certain brunette pianist away from her brother.

So… how was it? I don't know about the ending… does it sounds strange to you? Is Sharpay being too mean? I can't help to wonder...

Anyway, thanks for reading. See you soon!
