Chapter 7: We'll Help


Troy Bolton woke up from his sleep, and began to stretch. He had a goofy smile on his face. He dreamt that he and Sharpay walked down the school hallways holding hands. He sighed. "If only that could happen in really life." Troy muttered.

"Troy! Are you up yet?" his mother shouted.

"Yeah mom." Troy called back.

"Okay, well get ready for school. Breakfast is almost ready." His mother told him.

"Got it mom." Troy shouted back. Troy got out of his bed and walked toward the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, and brushing his teeth, he walked back to his room. He put on some Axe, and checked his closet. He pulled out a light blue button down shirt, and a pair of jeans. He grabbed his white sneakers from under his bed.

After 5 minutes he walked downstairs and toward the kitchen. "Hey mom, dad." Troy greeted his parents.

"Hey son, ready for another practice?" dad asked.

"You know it dad." Troy said. His mother gave him a plate of eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast.

"So Troy, you didn't come home till nine. Where were you?" his mother asked.

"You know I was at Chad's house. I wanted to practice more." Troy lied, as he stabbed a sausage link.

"Now that's my son, dedicated…. Just like his old man." Mr. Bolton said as he took a bite of his toast.

After Troy and his dad finished their breakfast, the two said good-bye to Mrs. Bolton, the two headed to the school, Troy anxious to see her again.

Troy walked around the halls, looking for her. "She's not here. Where is she?" Troy said to himself.

"Who's not here, Troy?" a voice asked, causing Troy to jump. Troy turned around, only to see Gabriella strong at him.

"Hey Gabi." Troy greeted her.

"Hey. So who are you talking about?" Gabriella asked.

"Um… I was talking about Ms. Darbus." Troy lied.

"Oh. So why do you want to talk to her?" Gabriella asked.

"Well… um… I wanted to know… when the next musicale will be." Troy said, trying to make up an excuse.

"Oh, well you should know that the next one will be in the winter." Gabriella told him.

"Oh right. Silly me. Well… I should get going…"

"Troy. I just wanted to say… I'm sorry for coming to strong on you." Gabriella apologized. "It's just… I like you… a lot."

"Gabi…"

"You don't have to say that you like me too." Gabriella told him. "Just know that will wait for you." Troy felt bad for Gabriella. A week ago, he would have killed to be with her. Now…. Now he just wanted her to leave.

"Well I should get going." Troy said.

"Well… see ya." Gabriella told him. Troy could see tears beginning to form. Gabriella waved and walked the other way, not knowing that a certain boy was following her.


"So, how was your movie night?' Sharpay asked, as Ryan parked his car in the parking lot.

"It was okay." Ryan casually said. "Hey, where were you? I didn't see you in the backyard."

"Oh, I decided to take a walk. Think things through." Sharpay lied.

"Oh, are you okay?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"It's just… you been acting different ever since the…"

"Ryan! I'm okay!" Sharpay snapped.

"Okay, sorry." Ryan muttered, obviously hurt.

"I'm sorry, Ryan. It's just…. I have too many things on my head." Sharpay admitted. "I just need some space."

"Well why don't you tell your brother about your problems?" Ryan suggested.

"It's complicated Ryan." Sharpay responded.

"Are you calling me stupid?" Ryan asked, trying to get his sister to laugh.

"Yes, I am." Sharpay joked. The two of them laughed as they headed to the school doors. They were greeted by the 'drama nerds'

"You guys are here." a girl shouted.

"Yeah, we are, Becky. Does anyone have any news?" Sharpay asked.

"Yes. Rumor has it that the new guys, Ty Balt, likes you." Becky informed her. The news caused Sharpay to turn a bright red.

"Um…. Thank you for the information." Sharpay managed to say.

"I told you he did." Ryan said.

"Not now, Ryan." Sharpay told him, giving him one of her 'famous' glares.

"Sharpay." Becky said.

"What is it now, Becky?" Sharpay asked.

"Troy Bolton, a.k.a. enemy number 1, is coming toward us." Becky informed her. Sharpay immediately turned, seeing Troy walking toward them… walking toward her. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to lunge herself onto him, and profess her love for him to everyone…. But she knew better.

"Sharpay." Troy called out her name. His voice alone, would make her melt. She tried her hardest to keep on the 'Ice Queen' attitude, but it was hard. Luckily, she was able to.

"What do you want Tro… I mean Bolton." Sharpay managed to say.

"Um… I just wanted to say that Ms. Darbus wanted to speak to you… in privately." Troy said, his eyes gazing at Sharpay. Fortunately no one noticed.

"Okay." Sharpay simply mumbled. She turned to the 'drama nerd.' "I will see you guys at lunch. That includes you too, Ryan."

"Okay sis." Ryan said, saluting her. Sharpay just rolled her eyes. She walked toward Troy.

"Can you pick up the pace, Bolton!" Sharpay exclaimed. "My grandma can walk faster than this!" Troy and Sharpay turned to the left hallway, leaving the "drama nerds" behind.


"Well… see ya." Gabriella told him. Troy could see tears beginning to form. Gabriella waved and walked the other way, not knowing that a certain boy was following her.

Gabriella walked to her locker, tears streaming down her face. "Why doesn't he like me. I mean, I thought he liked me. That's what Chad said." Gabriella said to herself. She took off her pink fleece jacket, and placed it on the hook in the locker. She pulled out the books from her book bag, and placed them in the shelves of the locker. She then grabbed the books she need for her class. As she closed her locker, she heard a voice call her name.

"Gabriella, right." the voice said, causing Gabriella to jump and drop her books. The stranger helped pick up Gabriella's books. Gabriella saw the boy who frightened her. He was a blonde boy, with emerald eyes. At first she thought that the boy was Ryan, but as she got a closer look, she realized that it wasn't him. The boy was slightly taller, and bulkier. The boy had a white, Calvin Klein button-shirt, with red stripes, a pair of black slacks, and alligator boots. The boy handed Gabriella her books back.

"Here you go." the boy said.

"Thank you." Gabriella mumbled. "I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Gabriella asked.

"No, you don't. My name is Ty Balt. Pleasure to meet you." the boy stretched out a hand, Gabriella gently shaking it.

"I don't want to sound rude, but how do you know my name?" Gabriella asked.

"I know quite about you." Ty smiled. "I know your name, the fact that you are the smartest girl in the school, the only person to beat Sharpay Evans for the lead in a musicale, and… you are in love with Troy Bolton." Gabriella's jaw dropped. "How could he know so much. Especially me in love with Troy."

"How do you know all that stuff?" Gabriella asked.

"Oh, I have my sources." Ty stated. "I also know that Troy does not feel the same way for you. In fact, I know who he does care for."

"Who?" Gabriella quickly asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Ty replied, giving her a sly smile.

"Please, tell me." Gabriella begged.

"If you must know, it's…" Ty walked up to Gabriella's ear and whispered, "Sharpay." he then pulled away.

"I knew it." Gabriella mumbled. "I knew it."

"I could help you." Ty told her.

"With what?" Gabriella asked, still shocked from the news.

"With helping you getting what you want…. Troy." Ty smiled.

"Why do you want to help me?" Gabriella asked.

"If you must know I want Sharpay." Ty simply said. "And I get everything I want."

"Oh, well, you're going to help me get Troy." Gabriella stated.

"Yes, if you want me too." Ty replied. There was a long pause. Finally, Gabriella said…

"I'll help."


Troy led Sharpay to an empty classroom. "Sorry for what I said before. I just had to make it believable." Sharpay apologized.

"It's okay Shar. I know you were faking. Troy closed the door. He walked up to her and kissed her passionately. His tongue begged to taste her mouth. Sharpay let out a moan. The two pulled away, their faces flushed.

"Wow. You couldn't last one day." Sharpay teased, still breathing heavily.

"Hey. You weren't complaining." Troy said. Sharpay smiled, and embraced Troy in a hug. Troy could tell that something was wrong.

"What's wrong Shar?" Troy asked.

"Nothing." Sharpay lied.

"Sharpay. I could tell something is wrong." Troy replied.

"It's just… I wish that we don't have to hide around just to be with each other." Sharpay admitted.

"What. You don't find this romantic?" Troy asked.

"I do. But… I just want us to walk down the hallways holding hands… like a couple." Sharpay explained.

"Don't worry, we will be able to that." Troy assured her.

"When?" Sharpay asked.

"Soon." Troy told her. "Soon." The rest of the time, the two were hugging, not knowing that two blonde boys were watching them.


Ryan was walking down the hallway, where he was greeted by Ty. "Hey Ryan."

"Hey Ty. What's up?" Ryan asked.

"We need to talk about your sister." Ty stated.

"Listen dude, I don't know why she doesn't like you." Ryan said. "You're like… her perfect guy."

"I know why she doesn't like me." Ty responded.

"What?" Ryan asked, slightly confused.

"She is in love with someone." Ty replied.

"What. That's crazy." Ryan told him. "If she was in love with someone, which highly doubt, she would have told her own brother."

"Are you sure?" Ty asked.

"Yeah. We tell each other everything." Ryan stated.

"Well you're wrong. She is in love… with none other than Troy Bolton." Ty said.

"Troy Bolton!" Ryan exclaimed. "I'm sorry, but she hates his guts."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Ty said. "I saw them walk into an empty classroom."

"I think you're hallucinating." Ryan commented.

"I'll show you," Ty led Ryan into the classroom.

"I highly doubt that they are in there." Ryan told him.

"See for yourself." Ty showed him to the door window. In it, were Sharpay and Troy, hugging. Ryan was in shock.

"I don't believe it." Ryan said. "She is in love with that ass-hole, and didn't even tell me."

"Well I can help you." Ty replied. Ryan looked at him.

"How?"


A/N: Well that's the end of Chapter 7. Hope you liked. Now, I won't be updating so quickly (like I ever was), since school was starting, and I have 4 Honor classes. And you know what that means…. A ton of homework. But please be patient with updates. I will be posting the next chapter for "Alone With the Stranger." I am also in the works of writing another Zashley one-shot. So until then, reviews will be appreciated!
