Chapter 7: Basketball in the Park

Previously in Out of League:

Zeke noticed Troy was looking at Sharpay during the song.

Zeke was trying to get Sharpay's attention.

He was back to were he started. She didn't notice him.

"Sharpay?" Zeke said.

Nothing happened.

Zeke pushed her arm.

"What?!" Sharpay said.

"What are you looking at?" Zeke asked her.

"I'm trying to watch the show. So, don't interrupt me!" Sharpay was angry, Zeke could hear that in her voice.

Zeke got up from his seat. He looked mad at her and walked out of the auditorium.

Sharpay looked after him.

She thought to herself: What was up with him?

She looked at Troy, maybe Zeke had noticed something?

--

Gabriella and Troy finished their song.

Gabriella was looking right into Troy's ocean blue eyes.

He looked so far away, like he was with someone else.

She gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

They bended and every one clapped at them.

Troy caught Sharpay's look.

She was so beautiful. Her blond hair and her chocolate brown eyes.

"I will have the cast list done on Friday morning." Mrs. Darbus said and left the auditorium.

Sharpay went out to look after Zeke.

Troy looked after her. He just wanted to be with her.

Sharpay looked everywhere at the school.

He was nowhere.

Sharpay decided to call him.

--

Zeke could feel his phone vibrate. He took it up and looked at the display.

Sharpay. He didn't want to talk with her, but he did it anyway.

After all he had gotten her attention again.

"Hey, Pay" Zeke said without an emotion in his voice.

"Zeke, I'm sorry. It's just I wanted to check out my competition. Can you forgive me?" Sharpay begged Zeke.

"Yeah, I guess so. After all you are my girlfriend." Zeke said. Sharpay suddenly felt guilty.

She thought about the kiss Troy had given her, which she had replied at.

"Yes I am. What about I come over and we go for a walk in the park?" Sharpay asked. She wanted to make it up to him.

"Fine. I'll see you soon. Love ya" Zeke said.

"Toodles" Sharpay said and hanged up.

--

Troy was sitting at home. He couldn't stop thinking about Sharpay. Her soft lips.

He wanted to have her in his arms.

He found his cell phone and replied to Sharpay's message he had gotten earlier that day:

'I guess I just don't want anyone to know about us. When are we making our project?'.

--

Sharpay had just arrived at Zeke's house when she got the message from Troy.

She read it and replied:

'I don't know. But not tonight. I'm with Zeke, so I don't have time.'

Sharpay called up Zeke.

"I'm here" Sharpay just said.

"Fine, be down in 2 minutes." Zeke answered.

They hang up.

Zeke came out of the door. He opened the door to her car.

"Shall we walk over there instead of driving?" Zeke asked her.

"Good idea" Sharpay said and got out of the car.

"We could play some basketball, if you want to?" Zeke asked her.

Sharpay looked down at her shoes. Luckily she had taken some comfortable shoes on. She was wearing a white skirt, a grey top and gray socks which reached below her knees.

"Sure, anything for you, Sweetie" Sharpay said.

"I'm just gonna find a basket ball" Zeke said and went inside.

Sharpay thought to herself: what did she see in Zeke?

She couldn't really find an answer to that.

"So, ready to go?" Zeke asked.

Sharpay nodded. They walked to the park hand in hand.

There where some guys already, playing at the basketball court.

"Do you still want to play?" Zeke asked Sharpay.

"Yeah, that could be fun." Sharpay answered and send him a smile.

"Hey! Can we join you guys?" Zeke asked.

They looked at Zeke and Sharpay.

"Yeah, but you are on our team!" one of them said and pointed at Zeke.

"Is that okay, Pay?" Zeke asked her.

"Yes, I am always ready for a challenge!" Sharpay said.

"Who am I with?" Sharpay asked with a big smile.

"You are with me, Garry, and Will. By the way my name is Warren" Warren said and pointed the two others guys out.

"Fine. I'm Sharpay. And this is my boyfriend Zeke." Sharpay presented them.

"And that's Larry, Scott and Houston" Will said and pointed at the three other guys.

"Well, lets beat them" Zeke said and dropped his ball in the grass.

"Honey, you are gonna get your ass kicked!" Sharpay said to Zeke.

"Yeah you wish. Well, let's play." Zeke said and gave Sharpay a kiss.

"Hallo! Come on. Let's play!" Houston said.

Garry who was holding the ball, started to dribble it. He found Will and threw the ball to him.

Will took a shot and scored.

"Ha, I told you we are going to win!" Sharpay said and giggled.

Zeke shook his head.

Houston dribbled a little with the ball before he threw it to Zeke.

Zeke found Larry, who took a shot at the basket. He scored.

Sharpay felt her cell phone vibrating. A message from Troy.

It said: 'Fine, find another day'.

She turned off her phone and put it back in her pocket.

Warren played Sharpay. She dribbled and tried to score from the outside "J".

The ball got in.

"Yes, I nailed it" Sharpay yelled.

"You're not that bad at it" Garry complimented her.

"Thanks" Sharpay said and smiled to him.

"Hey, can we join you?" someone asked them.

They looked at them. It was Troy and Jason.

"Sure, we have Troy." Scott quick said. Troy and Jason often played with these guys.

Jason looked at Sharpay.

"Can you play?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, she just scored from the outside "J"." Warren said.

"Really, I didn't know you could play. When has the Ice Queen started to get so soft?" Jason said and laughed.

"Watch your mouth, Cross! Or you have a ball in your face!" Sharpay said.

"Well, come on guys, let's play!" Larry said.

"Jason you are with us" Will said.

Troy had the ball. He dribbled and threw it to Zeke. Zeke threw the ball to Houston, but Sharpay got in the way and caught it. She dribbled and shot at the basket. She scored.

"Wow, you can play!" Jason said. He thought to himself, Chad had to see this. He would never believe that the Ice Queen could play Basket ball.

They played for another hour.

"Gosh, I'm hungry!" Sharpay suddenly exclaimed.

"Me too. Should we grab something to eat?" Zeke asked her.

"Yeah, Thanks guys for letting us play with you." Sharpay said and smiled.

"Anytime, Pay." Garry said. He whispered something to Scott, which they laughed about.

"Hope you come again." Warren said.

"Hey, can we join you? I mean for the food." Jason asked.

"Yes of course" Zeke said.

--

They took a table for four.

Troy was seated opposite of Sharpay. Their knees touched. She got butterflies in her stomach.

"What do you want, Pay?" Zeke asked her.

"Hmm…French fries and a cheeseburger. Oh, and a diet coke." Sharpay answered.

"Okay, I'll order for you" Zeke said. Jason and Zeke went up to the disk.

"You haven't told him about our kiss?" Troy asked, challenging.

"No, have you told Gabriella about us?" Sharpay answered.

"No." Troy said.

"Then we are even" Sharpay said.

Zeke came back to the table.

"Here you go" Zeke said and gave her, her French fries.

"Thanks, Zeke" Sharpay said and kissed him.

Troy looked at her. Why was he not the one she was kissing?

"What were you talking about?" Zeke asked.

Sharpay should just answered, but Troy came first: "We were talking about our project in history".

"I didn't know you had a project together." Zeke said.

"We were working on it Wednesday." Troy said.

Zeke thought to himself; he had called Sharpay that Wednesday. She had told him that Ryan and she were rehearsing for their audition. Something wasn't right.

"Were you not rehearsing Wednesday?" Zeke asked.

"Yes, I was" Sharpay said. She added to her sentence: "But after we were done, I went over to Troy. We worked on our project."

"Oh, what time was that about?" Zeke asked.

"Hmm. I don't know. I think it was about 6." Sharpay said.

"Okay" Zeke said. He had to check his cell phone when he came home.

Jason came with Troy and his food.

"Thanks, Jason." Troy said.

"You are welcome" Jason said.

--

Zeke followed Sharpay home to himself. Cause her car were there.

"Well, see you tomorrow. Shall I pick you up?" Zeke asked.

"No, I'll drive with Ryan. See you." Sharpay said. She gave him a passionate kiss.

She got into her car. She rolled the window down and said: "I love you. See you tomorrow. Toodles".

Zeke looked after her car until he couldn't see it anymore.

He went up to his room.

He found his cell phone and checked his call list. He had called Sharpay around 7.

Something wasn't right!

Toodles…
