Chapter 9: I Can't Get Started
Sharpay sighed and sat down on her bed. It was Friday night and another week of her life had passed. The callbacks were on Monday this year so she had less than three days left to practice. She stood and got out her karaoke machine. After turning it on, she put the cd in and began to practice her song.
Just as she finished she heard her computer make a noise, it was alerting her that she had received an instant message. She walked over and sat down at her desk. A smile formed on her face when she realized that it was Troy.
BasketballBoy14 - Hey, what's up?
DramaQueen17 - Not much here, what about u?
BasketballBoy14 - I'm bored and I thought if u weren't doing anything that we could hang out.
DramaQueen17 - lol…sounds fun!!! What do u want to do??
BasketballBoy14 - Idk, whatever u want to do.
DramaQueen17 - I'm not really in the mood to go somewhere loud……so probably my house or your house………or we could go to the beach.
BasketballBoy14 - To swim?
DramaQueen17 - lol……of course not to swim, it's dark out and the water is still too cold.
BasketballBoy14 - I know, I'm j\k……the beach sounds good. What time?
DramaQueen17 - 20 minutes?
BasketballBoy14 - Sounds good!! C u then!!
DramaQueen17 - Okay…ttyl…bye
BasketballBoy14 - Bye.
Sharpay stood from the chair and went to her closet to change her clothes. She decided on a distressed pair of jeans, a gray hoody sweatshirt with the Aeropostale logo in pink letters across the front, and a pair of sneakers. She quickly ran a brush through her long, blonde hair before exiting her room. She knocked on Ryan's bedroom door and he answered with a, "Come in." Sharpay turned the doorknob and entered her brother's room. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm going down to the beach for a bit."
Ryan looked up from what he was doing. "Do you want me to come?"
"That's okay……I'm meeting Troy."
"Oh," he replied, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "Okay, have fun."
"I will. See you later." Sharpay left her brother's room and jogged down the stairs. She found her dad in the kitchen and said, "I'm going to meet Troy, okay?"
"Okay, honey, be home by ten."
"I will, I promise." She quickly made her way out to her car and drove the short drive to the beach. When she arrived, Troy was already there. "Hi," she greeted as she got out of the car.
"Hey."
"Isn't it a beautiful night? The stars look amazing."
"I agree."
Sharpay and Troy walked down to the sand and put down a couple of blankets. They laid down on their backs and stared up at the starry sky.
"So are you nervous about the callbacks?" Troy asked.
"Just a little bit, how about you?"
Troy shrugged. "A little."
"What song did you decide on?"
"It's a secret…….What did you decide on?"
"Hey, if you're not going to tell, then I'm not going to tell."
They were quiet for a few minutes. Sharpay glanced over at Troy and smiled, it was nice having him around. "Troy?" She slowly sat up.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks," she replied.
Troy smiled, the last time they had been alone together the same thing happened, Sharpay had thanked him for a reason that was unknown to him. "For what?"
"For being my friend and for understanding me, it really means a lot."
"Your welcome. I'm really glad that I got to know you better, you're a really special person."
Sharpay blushed, but it was hidden by the darkness. "Thanks, you're special too, Troy."
They looked at each other and smiled. Troy reached over and took Sharpay's hand in his. "Let's walk down the beach."
"Okay," she agreed.
They both stood and began to walk hand in hand down the long stretch of land. Troy looked over at Sharpay; she looked beautiful in the moonlight. Her light skin seemed to shine and her dark eyes sparkled.
Sharpay turned her head and locked eyes with Troy. They both stopped abruptly and just stood there frozen, staring deep into each other's eyes. Their faces drew closer and their lips slowly met. It was a soft, but deep, kiss.
Sharpay pulled away suddenly, a tear glistening on her cheek. "I can't do this, Troy, I'm sorry." She quickly ran up the beach.
"Sharpay!" Troy yelled after her, but she didn't turn back. Troy smacked himself in the head. Everything was perfect, why'd I have to kiss her?
Sharpay rushed into the house and up the stairs. When she reached her room she shut the door and slid down against it, tears were flooding from her eyes. Her thoughts were opposite of what they had been earlier. She was no longer happy about having Troy around. He was just another person that she would have to leave behind. Why Troy? Why did you have to come into my life now? Why couldn't you have just stayed away?
Please Review! I really want to know what you guys think about this chapter! I hope everyone liked it.
