Previously on Teenage World:
Troy grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
"What the hell do you think your doing?!" [Sharpay
"It's just you and me right now. If you feel the same way I do I need to know Shar."
"I'm really trying to change Troy. "
"Let's just forget this ever happened, and start over."
"Friends?" [Sharpay
"Best friends." [Troy
Sharpay broke down crying at the sight of her body. In her eyes she looked terrible. Fat. Disgusting. Ugly.
Over the years, Sharpay had developed a deathly fear of gaining weight.
This was her secret-Sharpay Evans was anorexic.

Chapter 7: Not the same anymore

East High
Today was the first day of school, and the official end of summer. As Gabriella walked through the door, she remembered her first day at East High. All the problems she had then seemed like nothing in comparison to what she faced now. Back then her heart belonged only to Troy, and now her heart was split in two. One side for Troy, and the other for Ryan.
Although the halls were full of life, to Gabriella it seemed like she was the only one there. She continued to walk until she reached her locker. She brushed her hand along the cold metal, memories from the last day of school pouring into her mind. How could so much have changed in so little time? she asked herself. How can you love someone, but still long for the touch of another?
Gabriella was completely miserable. For one thing, she had no idea how she was ever going to face Troy. She had been avoiding him ever since she began her affair with Ryan, because she knew that she couldn't handle being near him. How could she just pretend like nothing has changed? Things were defiantly easier said than done. And then there was Ryan.
She felt bad for taking advantage of him, but there was something inside her that couldn't let him go. Ryan is completely different form Troy, in more ways than one. She couldn't imagine having to pick just one of them; and that's exactly what landed her in this situation. Why did she need to have an affair, when she was dating the school's golden boy? And why with Ryan Evans?
Well what's done is done, I'm just going to have to deal with the consequences. Gabriella sighed as she opened her locker. She quickly dropped off her books and headed for class. She had Mrs.Darbus for homeroom, just like last year. This year is defiantly going to be interesting. She said to herself.
When she walked through the door, the first thing she noticed was Ryan. She had to resist the urge of running to him and kissing him in front of everyone-that would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. Then she saw Troy. He was sitting on his desk, next to-Sharpay? What the-? That's strange. Still I have to go talk to him. Oh well, it's now or never. She took a deep breath and walked over to Troy, who was deep in conversation with Sharpay.
"Hey Troy, hey Sharpay." She said, trying to sound as casual as possible. "Hey" he said and then stood up and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Sharpay made her best attempt at a smile, but she found it very hard to be nice when someone was kissing the love of your life-now best friend.
"Thanks for saving me a seat Troy" she said in mock offense.
"Oh sorry Gabs, I kinda forgot."
"Oh, it's okay. I'll just go sit with my brother." Sharpay really didn't want to leave Troy, but it was better than having to stand around watching their love fest. She started to get her things when Gabriella stopped her.
"Thanks, but it's fine. I was only kidding. I'll go sit with Ry." Something was defiantly up with Sharpay-she was being nice. But still, she really just needed an excuse to go sit with Ryan, and now she had it. Gabriella got her stuff and sat down next to Ryan.
"Hey Ry"
"Oh hey Gabby, I thought you would be sitting with Troy."
"No, he's busy chatting up your sister. Plus I just wanted to see you." She said the last part quietly, and stealthy slipped her hand under the table and onto his leg. She began to massage his thigh, and then slowly moved her hand up higher. Ryan was doing his best to keep his cool, but Gabriella was making it really hard. She slowly worked her way up to his crotch and then into his jeans (A/N: yes he's wearing jeans!), she was about to let her hand slip into his boxers, when Ryan's hand stopped her.
"What are you doing?! Do you want to get caught?"
Gabriella laughed and pulled her hand out of his jeans. "Sorry, just teasing you. Relax, no one saw."
"Would if Troy saw?"
"He's too wrapped up in your sister to notice anything. I doubt he'd notice if there was an earthquake." She joked.
"Jealous?" he scoffed.
"Ha, oddly no. Why, should I be?"
"No. They've just reconciled."
"What?"
"You mean Troy never told you that they used to be best friends? Shar was his first girlfriend too."
Gabriella had a genuine expression of shock on her face. "No."
"They went to camp together when they were 11, there they became best friends, and then somehow ended up going out. No one found out about it until school started, but by then it was over. From the little my baby sister has told me, it wasn't pretty. That's why they hated each other so much. I guess they made up. Shar told me that they're best friends again."
That was a lot to process at one time for Gabriella. "They went out when they were 11?" She still couldn't fathom how two children would even consider going out that young.Maybe it was just her, but she had only started dating about a year ago. Not that she was one to speak. Troy and Sharpay may have been dating at 11, but here she was, 16 and already having sex like she was 30. (A/N: keep in mind that Gabriella is very new to this . . .)
"Actually Shar was 10, she turned 11 later though." He said like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"She was 10!" She said a lot louder than she had wanted. Everyone, even Sharpay and Troy turned around to look at her, but then went back to their conversation
"Nice Gabby. And yeah, I thought it was way too early, but she really loved him and there wasn't much you could do about it."
Gabriella glanced over at Sharpay. She really did look different. There was something that was just glowing about her. Maybe it's because she's so in love. Said a voice in the back of her head. "Ryan, Sharpay-there's something different about her."
"Yeah she's lost a ton of weight."
Gabriella rolled her eyes, "I didn't mean physically! She's just, I don't know? But now that you mention it, she does look really thin."
"If it's Troy you're worried about, don't be. They're best friends. That's it." There was a pang of jealousy in his words, but he couldn't help feeling it. Ryan really was in love with Gabriella, she's just too in love with Troy to notice it.
"Oh no, not at all. I just hope that this year we can start over and be friends too." She really did want to try being friends with Sharpay, but although she wouldn't tell Ryan, she did feel something. It wasn't jealousy-exactly, it was more like a feeling. She had a very strong feeling that Sharpay still felt something for Troy-and Troy for Sharpay? Stop imagining things!
"Yeah it'd be cool if we could all just be friends."
"Yeah." Gabriella slipped her hand under the table again, but this time laced her fingers with Ryan's open hand. That small gesture of affection was enough to make Ryan love her even more. They stared into each other's eyes, using all of their will to not kiss in front of everyone.
"Good morning class. I'm terrible sorry for the delay, but I was obligated to go fetch our
new students." Unfortunately, their moment was cut short by Mrs.Darbus. "Everyone please welcome Warren Davis . . ." Through the door walked the hottest boy Gabriella had seen in her life. His literal definition would be tall, dark, and handsome. His dark skin was like chocolate, and his gaze could make any girl melt. "Alexander Cruz . . ." Correction, second hottest boy she had ever seen in her life! Alex was, wow. He was very obviously Latino. He had perfect hair, gorgeous eyes, and sexy tan skin. Every girl in class had her eyes on the two new boys, all giggling like mad. "I'm sure there was one more . . ."
Then through the door walked the guy who topped the rest. He had the most amazing eyes. If Warren's eyes could melt, his could kill. This boy was perfect. His hair, his body, his clothes, his essence-it was overwhelming. "Oh yes, and-"
