Summary: Underneath an icy shield is a girl who just wants to have fun, without getting hurt. Who will be the one to show her how to have a good time? Will she be happy even after her brother falls in love? Troypay and Ryella
Sharpay woke up to the annoying ringing of her pink alarm clock, she hit the button to stop it ringing before she got out of bed, walked over to her wardrobe and picked out her clothes. When she had put on a light layer of make-up she trudged down the stairs and began eating a piece of toast that had just come out the toaster. "Morning Sharpay, sleep well?" Ryan greeted her with.
"Yes it was very nice, and Ryan- stay away from Montez today because if you don't she'll find a way to convince you she really liked you when she obviously doesn't and wants to use you to get at me," She warned her brother as she plastered a fake smile on her face.
"NO Sharpay I won't, for once I'm going to make my own decisions, it's my own not a male version of your life!"
"Excuse me?" Sharpay asked him
"You heard me, now let's get this clear little sis. I'm not going to talk to you until you apologise to Gabby and don't lay into me about my love-life ok?" Ryan snapped.
"Well if that's how you want it to be then fine, just don't come crying to me when she ends it with you as she's only interested in 'friendship' now good-bye I'm leaving for school," Sharpay replied before strutting out the house, getting into her pink car and driving off to East High.
Troy was talking to Chad when the red front doors of East High burst open to reveal none other than Sharpay Evans.
"MOVE!" She yelled as usual before strutting her way towards her locker, Troy took this as his opportunity to talk to her, so he walked up to her locker quietly before casually leaning against the locker next to hers.
"Can I help you with something Bolton?" Sharpay questioned
"Actually yeah Sharpay, I was wondering if you wanted to eat lunch with me today?" Troy asked, the question had caught Sharpay off guard as she had thought he just wanted to maybe annoy her or try to get her to speak to him and wobble on about how horrible her life is, so she replied uneasily.
"That would be nice Troy, yeah thanks,"
As soon as he had come he had left she smiled into her locker thinking about how much she liked Troy and how he might actually have feelings for her too? Whereas Troy's heart had leapt with joy when she had said yes and also wondered if maybe she liked him back too- gosh he hoped she did.
Meanwhile Ryan had driven by himself to school and as soon as he had arrived he hurried into school to find Gabby. He found her at her locker getting the books she needed for her morning classes, he ran up to her.
"Hey Gabs, listen I really need to talk to you, please please please listen!" He pleaded
"I don't know if I should Ryan, wouldn't your sister disapprove?" She said with sarcasm dripping from her words
"Listen Gabs, that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. You see the thing is... I actually stood up to her and told her it was my life and she couldn't stop me seeing her. I also told her I wouldn't speak to her until she said sorry to you." Ryan explained
"Ry that's really sweet thank you, but I don't know if I should give you another chance. I mean what happens the next time Sharpay disapproves of something?" Gabby asked unsurely.
"Then I stand up to her like I did this morning, please Gabby give me one more chance. I THINK I MIGHT LOVE YOU!"
"OK Ry, I umm think I might love you too. I missed you after you left and after our fight, all I had wanted was for you to be there with me." Gabby shyly replied as her cheeks turned red.
Gabby quickly gathered the rest of her books quickly before walking with Ryan to his locker and then to their first period holding hands, fingers laced.

Time flew by and soon it was lunch, after Sharpay had gotten her lunch she looked for Troy. She saw him by the doors of the cafeteria, he saw that she was looking so he signalled for her to come over/ follow her. She stopped when she came to Ryan and 'Montez' who were looking dreamily at each other whilst holding hands- she cleared her throat rather loudly as they were about to kiss.
"Eww it's bad enough you're going out with her and it was bad enough I found you 'eating each other' in your room yesterday just after we were told the identity of our mom's murder. Now you sit here pretending nothing's happen. YOU SICKEN ME RYAN EVANS AND IT'S HARD TO SICKEN AN ICE-QUEEN!" Sharpay loudly announced as Ryan shot her a death glare, and Gabby opened her mouth to speak but Sharpay began speaking again before Gabby could get a word in.
"Don't even get me started on YOU Montez, oh and Ryan your glare doesn't frighten me but I'm sure one of mine would frighten nearly everyone here so don't even think about it," Sharpay smugly replied before walking out the cafeteria doors to follow Troy.
It wasn't long before she found him in his 'secret area'
"Hey there, you ok Sharpay?" Troy sweetly asked her
"Umm yeah, I think." She replied
"You sure, you can tell me anything you know?"
Before she knew what she was doing she opened her mouth and began to speak...
"It's stupid Ryan and that Montez- I mean who does she think she is? A flipping saint or what? I mean I should be happy for Ryan now that he's finally found someone but I can't. Every time I see him with her it feels as if he's not going to care about me anymore because he's got her and he won't be there to protect me. You know what I mean Troy?" Troy listened carefully and felt sorry for Sharpay, she wasn't the Ice-Queen everyone thought she was (he knew she wasn't) she was just simply misunderstood.
"Yeah kind of and anyway I'll always be here you know that right? Whenever you need me I'll be there, understand?"
"Thanks Troy!" Sharpay chirped before leaning into him and resting her head on his chest as he put an arm around her- they ended up eating their lunch in that position wishing for no-one to ruin the moment. They talked to each other about really random things and getting to know each other, which usually involved Sharpay ending up in a fit of giggles by the end of Troy's sentence and Troy loving her giggle so much- especially when he made her laugh he ended up laughing along with her. After a while they sat in silence while they looked at the view from where they were when Troy interrupted the silence with a surprising question for Sharpay which caught her off guard. 'Why is it only him that always catches me off guard?' she asked herself as he spoke.
"Umm Sharpay, I really like you and I was. I was urm wondering if you, I mean if you wanted to maybe we could go for pizza on Saturday?"
'Please say yes, please say yes!' he thought to himself
'Say yes, say yes!' a part of Sharpay said to her whilst the other told her to flatly say no, act mean because if she said yes it would end up with her getting her heartbroken.
"I'm really sorry Troy, I'm uh... I'm busy this weekend- that's right I'm busy this weekend, I'm urm... I'm meeting someone; yeah I'm meeting someone that's right!" Sharpay quickly made up even though her heart scream at her to take it back
"Oh I get it, can I ask you one question though?" Troy asked broken-hearted
"Yeah sure, what do want to ask me Troy?" Sharpay quietly spoke
"Why don't you like me? I mean it seems like we were getting on really well and I know that you made that excuse up on the spot. So tell me why you don't want to go with me!"
"Look Troy, the truth is... I really like you, I really do but I'm scared. Scared of getting hurt, ever since Mark hurt me I'm just cautious as he really hurt me in more than one way, surely you can understand that?" Sharpay tried to reason with him.
"I guess I can, but if you don't mind me asking- what did he do to you?" He politely asked.
"He raped me, he humiliated me, I trusted him and he's scarred me for life! I didn't get pregnant as I was on my time of the month but that was just luck. He's made me vulnerable and scared of love and of having fun I guess..." She explained
"Come on Sharpay I'd never hurt you, please give me a chance I've never felt like this before, I know I seem desperate but I really like you..."
"I'm sorry Troy..." She quickly turned her back to him as tear made it's way down her face, she regretted saying no but on the other hand she didn't want to get hurt again or heartbroken, but when she looked over her shoulder and saw him walking towards the stairs with a hurt look on her face she was about to change her mind. Troy mumbled a ' I understand' underneath his breath before sticking out his foot to place it on the first step when...
"Troy wait..."
