Troy felt his heart rate rise with every breathe he took. His mouth became dry as he tried to utter hello to Stephanie.
"Troy are you ok, you don't look so good?" Sharpay spoke as she laid her hand on her shoulder.
"Uh, uh . . .ye. . .yeah, I, I'm fine." Those were the only words Troy could speak.
"Ok, well this is my darling cousin Stephanie."
Stephanie's smile on her face grew with delight as she looked into Troy's worried eyes.
"Troy!" Stephanie said joyfully as she ran over to hug him.
Troy stood there nervous not knowing what to do.
"Uh, hey. . . Stephanie. . .how are you?" Troy spoke.
"I'm good how are you?" Stephanie said as she released from the hug.
"So, wait, what, you guys know each other?"
"Uh. . ." Troy felt his heart begin to beat even faster.
"Yeah, well sort of. . .we met at a party."
Troy looked at Sharpay with a nervous smile.
"Oh, who's?" Sharpay said smiling.
"Mine, last weekend." Stephanie said smiling at Troy.
"Oh, yeah that party." Troy agreed nodding.
"Well now that we are all acquainted lets go inside and get settled." Sharpay's aunt insisted.
They are followed Mrs. Heart into her home, Stephanie ran ahead to hold the door open for their guest. When Troy walked into the house he felt Stephanie's hand on his shoulder and slide down his back, he became nervous when she had headed for his butt, she quickly slid into the house and over towards the stairs.
"Well Sharpay you can room with Stephanie and Troy you can room with Sharpay's other cousin John. He is Stephanie's older brother.
"Ok, well lets get these bags into the bedrooms, just follow me." Stephanie said as he led them up the stairs.
Troy and Sharpay followed her as if two lost dogs, they were exhausted from traveling so much.
"Ok, Troy this is John's room, he's not here right now his is at work so you can just set you stuff on the floor and sleep on the top bunk." Stephanie couldn't help but smile when she saw or even spoke to Troy.
"And right across the hall is my room." Stephanie turned and opened the door to her room.
You could tell that Sharpay and Stephanie were related because they both were treated and acted as princesses. Stephanie's room was quite similar to Sharpay's, like hers she had a canopy over her heart shaped bed, but hers was dripping with jewels. He walls were pink that matched almost everything in her room.
"This is how a princesses lives." Sharpay joked as she walked into Stephanie's room.
Sharpay couldn't help her self but she just had to touch everything, she thought Stephanie's room was perfect but the only this missing was her.
"Wow, it's pretty nice." Troy was beginning to calm down from all the excitement but he was still on edge about Stephanie.
"Well thanks it took me years to get it to perfection." Stephanie joked.
Stephanie, Sharpay, Troy are you guys hungry I just ordered a pizza.
"Oh, thanks aunt Sam were are starving." Sharpay fell onto Stephanie's bed.
Troy and Stephanie chuckled.
An hour passed before the pizza had arrived and Troy and Sharpay had took a nap. When the pizza arrived they were wide awake and ready to eat. John came walking up to the door as Sam set the pizza onto the kitchen table, they heard the door open and knew that John was home by the loud ruckus that followed him.
"Hi John!" Sharpay yelled from the kitchen.
"Hey Steph." John replied.
"No it's not Stephanie." Sharpay giggled.
John walked into the kitchen to see his cousin Sharpay standing next to some guy.
"Sharpay, what are you doing here?" John question as he went over to hug her.
"You say it as if you don't want to see me." she replied as she hugged him.
"No, of course not." John released from the hug and turned and looked at Troy.
"But this face I don't know." pointing to Troy.
Sharpay leaned over and hugged Troy from the side.
"This is my boyfriend, Troy Bolton."
"Oh, from the Wildcats basketball team, you guys rock!"
"Uh, yeah, and your. . ." Troy spoke.
"Oh, I'm John Stephanie's brother and Sharpay's cousin."
"Nice to meet you." Troy said extending his hand to shake John's.
"Yeah dude."
"Well I think the pizza's getting cold lets eat." Stephanie said as she gestured to go sit and eat.
"Oh yes, I'm starving." Sharpay rubbing her stomach.
Everyone sat at the table, Troy sat in the middle of Sharpay and Stephanie, Troy was quiet at dinner with the predicament that he was in. During dinner Stephanie kept rubbing her leg on Troy's and trying to play footsies under the table. Troy got nervous and began to sweat.
"Troy are you alright?" Sam asked.
"Uh, yeah the pizza's just a little hot." he turned and looked at Stephanie who winked back at him.
After dinner Sam and Sharpay cleaned up the kitchen with little help from John. Troy wasn't feeling to well after dinner and he went up to bed. Stephanie also went to bed saying he was over exhausted from cheerleading practice which she wasn't even going to. During the middle of the night Troy woke up in cold sweat, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He walked passed Stephanie's room, her door was slightly open so he looked in to check on Sharpay. He only saw one person in the bed and didn't know if it was Stephanie or Sharpay, in the dark they looked so much alike. He heard footsteps and scurried into the bathroom. He shut the door slowly but stopped so there was a even room to see who was coming. Walking up the stairs was Sharpay's aunt Sam getting some pizza from the kitchen. Troy chuckled to himself and shut the door.
When he was finished in the bathroom he walked back down the hallway passed Stephanie's room and peeked in again this time he saw two people in the bed, Troy was troubled, he looked confused and thought to himself "who wasn't in bed the first time?", "where did they go?" when did they get back?". Troy's puzzled mind began to walk back to his room until her heard a voice call him from Stephanie's room.
"Troy?" someone said in a soft voice.
Troy stopped dead in his tracks.
"Hello."
"Troy is that you?"
"Yeah, is that Sharpay?"
"You couldn't sleep either?" Troy asked.
"No not really." She said sitting up in the bed.
"Do you want to talk?" She asked.
"Yeah, meet me in the bathroom."
"Ok." she got up out of bed and followed him into the bathroom.
Troy walked into the bathroom and turned on the light, he walked over and sat in the Jacuzzi type bathtub. Sharpay walked in and turned off the lights.
"Why did you turn off the lights?" Troy asked.
"There too bright, where are you.?"
"I'm in the tub."
Sharpay giggled
"What"
"Nothing it just sounded funny how you said it."
She walked over to the tub and in between his legs, with her back on his chest. They cuddled and got comfortable.
"Why couldn't you sleep, is something bothering you?" she asked him.
"It's nothing really." he said.
"Well you know you can talk to me." she said as she held his hand.
Troy took a deep breathe.
"Well there is something I have to tell you."
She got up and turned around to face him.
"You do."
"Uh, yeah it's been on my mind."
"Well you know you can tell me anything, I love you."
"Well, uh, umm, uh, what I--m. . ."
Troy couldn't spit it out he began to stutter. Sharpay put her finger to his lips to tell him to stop.
"It's ok, you can tell me later."
"But, I." he was cut off once again.
"Shh, it's ok."
"I think. . ." This time he was interrupted by a kiss. Troy gave up trying to tell her and kept kissing her. Sharpay leaned back onto the bottom of the tub and Troy followed on top of her. Troy let his hormones take over and Sharpay allowed him to do so with her body. That night they slept in the bathtub. Early in the morning Sharpay had awaken and crept back into Stephanie's room, a few hours later Troy was woken by a knock on the bathroom door, he was startled at first but got up and out of the bathtub.
"Hello, is someone in here." Sam asked from outside of the door.
"Uh, just a second." Troy said jumping out of the tub.
"Oh, ok."
Troy walked out of the bathroom and Sam entered. As she walked in she mumbled to herself "Whoa, that reminds me. . .I have to get some air freshener."
After breakfast Troy asked Sharpay to meet him outside so they could go for a walk and talk. After Sharpay and Stephanie helped Sam clean the kitchen she joined Troy outside.
"So do you know any parks close by." Troy asked as he intertwined his fingers with hers.
"Yeah, there's one about a block from here."
"Are you up for the walk?" Troy joked as they stared walked down the street.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"Well yesterday when I tried to tell you, something else happened." he said looking at the ground with a huge smile on his face.
"Uh?" Sharpay had a puzzled look on her face.
"You know last night in the bathroom, it was really late." Troy explained.
"Last night I was asleep in Steph's room, what are you talking about."
Troy stopped dead in his tracks and replayed the events of the previous night.
"So your saying you were in Stephanie's room all night." Troy's smile was long gone.
"Yeah, why what happened?"
"Uh, nothing I think it was a dream I had or something it must of felt real."
Troy knew that last night was no dream. The girl who had spent the night with in the bathroom was not his girlfriend. . .it was Stephanie!
