You're probably thinking "Finally an update!" ….. "Ooh! A long update! Yay." Well it's not a long updade. It's the same as the previous ones… I just wrote long replies to your reviews…so that took up a lot. Sorry to bring you down but it's better that I tell you than you having to get all pumped up for reading a long chapter and find out it's not really that long, it's the same as the past ones….
But be glad I finally updated this! Has it felt like an iternity yet?
Enjoy!
"Mom, what do you even see in Jack? He's just—an ordinary man. Kind a boring in my opinion." Sharpay stretched her voice trying to make a long point to her mom who was not really paying attention to a word she was saying.
"Sharpay! How many times have I told you before? I see something in Jack and you will probably NEVER see!" Lucy exclaimed stirring the pot carefully.
"But he's so…ugh. And Troy, he really gets on my nerves." Sharpay lied, biting her tongue.
Once again, she was trying so hard to convince her mom from marrying Jack. She really loved Troy and she didn't want them to get in the way. Their relationship was so strong; it killed her knowing it was so wrong. At this point, she would do anything just to keep her and Troy's relationship. Even if it meant breaking her mom's heart. There was no way she could let her marry Jack, just no way.
"I thought you and Troy were great friends," Lucy said with a puzzle expression.
"Great friends? Mom? Please, he's…so…. Troy!" Sharpay exclaimed not having any idea what to say about Troy since she was lying and she really loved him.
"Sometimes I don't get you. You're so close with Troy but when it comes to talking about him, you put all the negativities in place!" Lucy snarled wiping the counter.
Sharpay rolled her eyes and walked out of the kitchen. Once again, she'd failed to convince her mom. Everyday was another day closer to the wedding even if they haven't exactly had the proper date yet—she didn't have much time. The only thing she could think of was making sure that her mom and Jack didn't hit it off.
It was starting to sort of hit both Lucy and Jack. Sharpay had noticed that they were a bit tense towards each other now. But it still wasn't good enough.
"Mom, your co-worker is so into you! You should hook up!" Sharpay smiled
"I don't think so." Lucy shook her head.
After a while Lucy told Sharpay to just hush and clean the dishes in front of her.
Troy was also trying to convince his dad that Lucy was a horrible choice, though nothing seemed to have worked. He had tried to tell him that Lucy was a cheater; only his dad just laughed and told him to focus on the ball. He tried to tell him that he had notice the way Lucy behaved and it didn't seem like their relationship could work any maybe they should just stay friends. It didn't work. Nothing worked.
"Dad, isn't your high school sweetheart Jane available now?" He asked bouncing the basketball.
"I don't know." Jack said puzzled. "How would you know anyway?" He asked.
Troy shot him a guilty look.
"I heard it around. I thought you knew." He lied.
Jack just shook his head and threw the basketball towards Troy. For the first time ever, Troy actually wasn't in the mood to be playing any sports at the moment and basketball was practically what he lived for—before he met Sharpay.
He remembered the first time Lucy had mentioned her daughter coming over but not her son. He wasn't too interested. He figured it would be some girl who he would not find one thing in common with. He, at the time, rather have Lucy's son over even if he had never met the guy. He just figured he would have more in common with a guy than a girl. But he was wrong. Really wrong. It turned out that Sharpay was just the girl he was looking for. And he regretted thinking of going away for the summer so he didn't have to deal with Lucy's daughter coming over and trying to get along with her. He loved being with Sharpay.
"Troy! Pay attention!" His dad threw the basketball right at his head, shaking him out of his thoughts.
"Sorry." He mumbled not meaning it at all.
"Watch what you're doing!" Jack exclaimed snatching the ball out of Troy's hands.
Troy sighed and decided to go along with the game. After all, his dad was finally taking time off to play a good game of basketball with him after so long.
"Watch it Troy!" His dad warned him once again.
Troy ended the game sooner than he suspected. He got tired and he couldn't concentrate on the game. His dad kept on hitting him on the head with the basketball and it started to make him feel lightheaded. He knew he was in need for a shower—a very long one. Then he would go talk to Sharpay after that, if she was still up.
He noticed they didn't really have a proper dinner tonight. Usually it was all four of them together, eating. But not tonight… Instead he just heard Lucy to fix himself something if he got hungry for dinner. Though he never found the right time to have dinner, so he skipped it. So did Sharpay. No one was in the mood to eat for the night—especially as a family.
The idea of him and Sharpay being a family—along with his dad and her mom sounded gross to him. He didn't really think about it at first since it was just he, Jack, and Lucy—no Sharpay involve. Now everything was different. He had no problem with his dad and Lucy together, expect for now, it was a huge problem.
The shower he took was probably the longest one he had ever taken. He felt so dirty and sweaty he just took his time and let all his thoughts get washed by the water---even if that didn't help at all. He felt slightly relive after the shower but still had a few puzzled thoughts in his head.
Sharpay was already in her bedroom when he got changed into his nightwear. His dad wasn't anywhere near and Lucy wasn't either. He guessed they were probably already asleep since they both had to work tomorrow morning.
"Sharpay." He whispered to the door knocking it lightly.
He could hear the radio on in the background. A song was playing. Sharpay always had music playing while she was in her room. He had become aware of that now after the days he had spent with her and he noticed all the things she did—the things he liked about her.
A couple of seconds later the door opened widely and he walked in.
"Troy! I think this is illegal!" Sharpay exclaimed not being able to take it anymore.
"Huh?" He spoke shutting the door behind him.
That was a lovely way to greet your boyfriend.
"This isn't right! We can't let them get married!" She cried.
"Oh." Troy spoke getting the conversation they were having.
Sharpay practically blew up on him, bursting out any words she could come up with that described her feeling with what was going on.
Troy paced around the room not knowing what to say. She was right all right. They were in a huge problem and it was pretty much illegal. Who has heard of stepbrothers and sisters getting together?
"Stop being so negative. You were so sure we would break them up!" Troy exclaimed loudly shutting the door behind him.
Sharpay frowned. She really did thought it would cause their parents to see that maybe they weren't so right for each other and that this was a huge mistake they were making. Though it sounded like a selfish plan…. it seemed to be the only plan they had or at least she had. There was really nothing else to do. They couldn't go up to their parents and tell them the real reason why they shouldn't get married. They would be very disturb and probably band them from each other!
"I thought it would work. I don't know what else to do!" She said loudly hitting her face with a pillow.
Troy stood behind her and grabbed the pillow. He didn't want her to get hurt by pounding herself a million times with the little pillow. He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye deeply.
"You and I are going to break them up." He said firmly holding onto her shoulders with his entire grip he had making sure she understood him clearly.
"How?" Was the only word that escaped Sharpay's mouth.
Troy let her go and sat back down. That simple question, he didn't know how to answer. The words just came out of his mouth and it sounded so good when he said it, but he really didn't know how they were going to do it, he just knew they were going to—no matter what. He loved his dad, but Sharpay is the love of his life and he was sure of it. He had never felt so relaxed and free with someone in his entire life; he wasn't going to let her go.
"I don't know yet. We will." He nodded his head before towards the door.
He knew he should be going back to his room now before their parents got anymore ideas and started bashing them like last time about Sharpay's little plan to cause an argument between them. That worked, for a few minutes, then everything fell into place once their parents figured it out and they were screwed again.
"Figure it out, Troy." Sharpay sighed.
He walked back towards her, almost forgetting to give her a good-bye/good-night kiss before leaving her room.
It almost seemed as if Sharpay wasn't anywhere near interesting in kissing him. Did she already have second thoughts about their relationship? Has she given up on him already and call it quits? Thoughts were pounding in his head making him all sweaty. That was when Sharpay reacted.
"Are you okay?" She asked feeling his forehead with her palm.
Troy nodded. He wasn't feeling okay. Suddenly he felt sick and dizzy, but he couldn't tell her that. She would just question him.
"You're not giving me up, are you?" He managed to choke out.
Sharpay stared at him with frustration and shook her head.
"No. What would make you think of that?" She asked.
"Because you didn't seem like you weren't so interested in me a minute ago." He admitted meeting her sparkling brown eyes.
"I was just thinking, Troy. It wasn't actually the right time to kiss me. I was trying to think of a way to solve this. I have a lot on my mind right now. It's driving me crazy. And I'm going to do whatever it takes to make this relationship work. I don't want to go behind our parents' backs! It's just weird and kind a wrong—already, think of when they actually get married, whenever that is. I want to know, but I'm too scared to ask and find out. I rather just wait and see. I'm kind a scared to hear that date being near or what." Sharpay explained not even bothering to take a breath.
Troy understood her now. It made absolute clear that she was just harrowed by what was going on. He was too. Who wasn't?
"Alright. Just get some sleep and don't kill yourself thinking about this. We can go crazy together tomorrow about it and figure out a way to actually make this work. Get some sleep now." Troy placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Sharpay kissed him tenderly on the lips and then sent him a humbled smile before watching him leave her bedroom.
"Just come get me if you need me." Troy poked his head through the little opening.
Sharpay giggled and nodded. Even if she did need him at one point, she wasn't going to bother him. It was only fair for Troy to have a good night rest too, and she wanted him to sleep soundly without her bothering him.
It was sure going to be a long time before she got some good rest.
"Gosh mom." She let out a breath. "You too…Jack."
ReviewsSharpayDramaQueen500: Thank you. It's okay. I'll keep in touch with her. She's moving across the world…which is weird, but she promised to call every day so that better work out well. I spent my whole weekend with her and we did a lot of crazy stuff. We went to the beach..rode rollercoasters.. blah blah. I had an interesting weekend and that is why I couldn't update this. This story I've actually been lagging with and I'm not very proud of myself for doing that!
Jesluvzzac: Haha. Your review made my day. I'm glad you like my story that much. I wasn't really into reading either—or writing…Well I've always liked writing, but every time I started a story I always got bored and put it off…then I never got back to it and I never got to the ending since I would start another story. And I always got bored with reading, actually I still do, when it's a book in front of me, but when it's on here…I can read for hours and hours! I don't know why. I guess I just like fan fiction better than some book. Hehe.
Pwnguin: Yeah, my summer has been filled with stuff. I've been really busy. One day I'm at a friends house the next I'm out of town. It's crazy. I thought I would be able to update more since there's no more school and I'm free all day, but I was wrong. I also thought that it would be like last summer where I was bored out of my mind all day long…but so far it's been crazy! Especially during the weekends, my friends are always calling and wanting to do something! And on weekdays my parents make me do something with them. It's CRAZY. I should stop myself from going on. I keep on rambling.
ZaShLeYhSm14: Hehe. Wouldn't it be weird if you had to sneak behind your parents back for the next eighty years if you were having a relationship with your stepbrother or something? I'm glad I'm not in that situation and I don't have a stepbrother. When I thought of this idea, it was actually because my friend and I were talking about her mom getting married and she was like "It would so suck if my mom's boyfriend has a really hott son….i would go crazy!" And then I saw Clueless and the ending of it.. I was like "That would make a great Troypay story!" That's how this all started.
Addictedtomusic: If you liked the parents arguing there….you'll love what's ahead…there's something ahead. I just won't tell you. :P cause I'm evil like that. There will be more Troy and Sharpay moments later on. I'll have them do something, like go on some date…ahh.. you'll see. It'll be something. I know I haven't had much moments of just them two since I need to get the focus on the parents and the whole getting married thing. But later on there will be plenty of Troypay moments you can read about. I miss writing those anyway in this story. I don't know why I'm rambling on so much today! I've written LONG replies for everyone. Lol.
AshelyZac4life: Good that you thought it was funny. I had a friend help me with it since I wasn't really sure how to start it. I just thought I would have Sharpay snitch on her mom and Troy snitch on his dad that way the parents can know that they haven't really been honest with each other…that usually leads to a fight, but I didn't want a big fight there so I had to have them notice what their kids where doing! At first it was just going to end as a fight and the parents wouldn't talk to each other for a day…and then the next day it's all good, but I decided to change it since something came to mind while writing that part. :)
paradise-maker786: If they had to sneak for the next eighty years… They would be like ninety-seven or something. I imagine them 17 or 18 now…that's a long time. Then they would NEVER be able to get married or have any kids cause the parents will think it's weird….if Sharpay got pregnant by Troy and they didn't know what had been going on with their kids for so long. That would be so messed up, but then that would have made a good story, but that's not where I'm going with this story so it was okay for me to go on about it. I'm going somewhere else with this story and you can't know. xD
Stessa: I highly doubt any parents would understand if their kids were going out. I mean I guess they would understand if they're stepsiblings, but if they were related by blood…then that would be weird cause…It's just weird! I guess no parents really think that their step kids will fall in love with each other. I would never think of that...I mean I would NEVER think of falling in love with a stepbrother if I had one. But then again I guess it depends….Eh…now you got me thinking. Luckily I don't have to worry about that! My parents are evil and made me be an only child….so I can be a loner. :P Is it illegal though in real life to be dating your stepsibling? But if it is I'm sure people do it anyway, like the whole if you're dating someone underage blah blah stuff..it's not a big deal to me…..okay I'll shut up.
x0emz0x: Thanks. Lol, I just noticed that you were a Zanessa fan. I never noticed it before…but then again I remember someone telling me they were a troyella fan but they liked reading this story anyway. That's pretty cool. I don't know why I can never bring myself to read troyellla stories..I guess I'm just too big of a Troypay and Zashley fan to do that. Though I don't mind Troyella or Zanessa….I'm just not a fan. Well, thank you for reading my story and thanks for your review. I know I haven't said much in the past, but today (actually tonight) I had the time to do this and I wanted to take my time and reply to everyone since you guys have been so nice about reviewing.
Xamyxjx: It never matters how long the review is! Even if it's a dot I don't mind.. okay if you left a dot I would be confuse. But I always like hearing what people thought. I don't care if they just write: Good, bad…just something to let me know how the story is going. Anything that helps. I wouldn't want to keep on writing if someone said it was bad (if more than five people said so). So the reviews really help, don't worry about leaving a long one. I'm always happy to hear what you have to say about it, long or short. By the way, interesting pen name and I mean that in a good way.
Stormburst: Too bad the story can't go that easy. Their parents aren't going to put off some wedding for them too! They're too far in love. And of course, Sharpay and her great ideas…. She'll do anything to get what she wants….that's why I like her too. I love how she's pure evil. LOL. I just love characters who get what they want and go for what they want. It's just better than the little sweet ones. Disney goes too sweet with characters and I like it when they have the mean ones like Sharpay. That's what makes an awesome character! Oh and eighty years IS A VERY LONG time. I can't even see myself…fifty years from now. O.0 the future…it's weird. I would be freaked to see two stepsiblings at the age of 90 dating. xDDDDDDDDD HAHA. I just had a laughing attack having that image in my head. I know it wasn't that funny, but still.
Bl1SSFuln3ss: Sorry, but I had to lag. This summer vacation has been tiring! Everyday there's always something to do. Never a day that I can just sit at home and write all day. I would appreciate a day like that! I've been hanging out with my friend a lot though, just trying to make the best of the times she's still here. She'll move back.. after a few years. It's okay if you lag with your reviewing, I've been lagging with the stories I've been reading lately and I've been really lagging with my stories. I just have a lot going on. But there will be one point where I won't have anything to do so I'll just write and write and write and write! Wouldn't that be great? That way I can update daily again! Ugh. I can't wait for that day to come. :D
XxCharmedxX: Thank you very much. It's okay, I never feel like I'm being pressured to update. I love to write so it's all right, and I try to update, I do, but I get caught up in things. Anyway, I'm glad you like it. I like your pen name. Oh and I also like your story Daddy's Little Girl….I hope you get on with that story… But it's okay, I know how you feel, sometimes I totally run out of ideas for what to do next so I put it on hold, but I hate doing that because I never get back to it and I just let people. And I don't wanna do that, so most of the time I ask people for ideas. Haha. But hey, I also like your story Hiding Something, I know I haven't been reviewing, but one day I will. I'm just busy right now. I'll review every chapter of that story when I get a chance…okay?
XBeautifulbabe405X: Yeah, I just hope I don't loose touch with my friend. I doubt I will. I mean I've kept in touch with her when she moved schools….we'll be fine. It's just going to be weird. She leaving like right before my birthday too! She just has to move REALLY far away….She's moved before, but around the area so I never had a problem with it…but now I do! Ugh. Thanks for reviewing. I like your story Vanished. So PLEASE update that story. I've been waiting to see what happens next. I'll review it later too. I've told everyone that I've been lagging with reviewing stories…and sorry about that. But I do like that story.
youtubesmybff aka chel08: Lol. Thanks. I've just known my friend for a while, she's pretty much my best friend..grr. I have too many best friends.. I just can't decide! About your friend…That's good though. You'll get to see your friend again…. after two years! What do you feel bad about? Not seeing her for so long? Hey, thanks for reviewing this story and all of my other stories too. I havent' said anything about that and nows my chance since I have time and I'm so glad I do because I feel bad about not replying to people who have reviewed because you guys take your time to tell me what you thought of the story and its' only fair for me to write back. hehe. (My dog keeps trying to jump on my lap….I know this was random but it took me forever to find the "H" when I was writing hehe….My dog is like all over the keyboard!)
emala: I already wrote you a REALLY long PM. Lol. If I wrote here I would just be repeating myself…so I just won't write about it. Well again, thanks for your reviewing!
