But now I've finally been able to update! I don't know when I'll update again… don't know when I'll find some spare time again. Or rather said, make it… but please R&R!!!

Trouble in Paradise

Troy's POV

"How'd you actually know Sharpay likes Zeke? I mean… I would've never thought… the ice-princess and Zeke?!" Gabriella laughed at me, oh, how I love her laugh. And her eyes, her hair, her cute little nose, just… her, really. We were sitting in room 111 again, we lunch here pretty much each day now. Chad just assumed I was making out with a cheerleader, and that Gabriella was hiding and crying her eyes out… or just making homework, either one, you never really now what Chad's thinking. My thoughts were cut of by Gabriella answering my questing.

"She told me once, I promised to never ever tell anyone. It would kinda ruin her reputation, plus she swore to chase you for life!" At the end of her statement, she once again laughed at me, undoubtedly reminded all Sharpay's blunt flirt actions on me. Most of the time those were actually quite violent towards either Gabriella or me, and very amusing for everybody else. I pouted at her.

"It's not funny Brie! I was seriously scared of that girl for most of my life! She was like, obsessed, with dating me! I mean, I was only twelve when she started like that, it was so terrifying… and she only ever stopped when you guys became friends, so at the start of senior year. But by that time I was already traumatised for life!" At this she only laughed harder, and I pouted more. Unluckily my pout doesn't have the same effect on her as hers has on me. When I see her pout I just melt and I immediately give in to whatever she is saying. She tends to use that a lot. "Yeah, you just laugh. You would be talking differently if I'd been you!" Immediately she stopped laughing and cringed.

"Iewll, Troy! She's one of my best friends, that's just too disgusting to think about. It was bad enough to hear her first kiss was you!" She looked at me pointedly. I gulped slightly, and adverted my eyes guiltily. It's true, I was Sharpay's first kiss, and she mine. But it's not as if I had a choice or anything!

*Flashback*

I was thirteen and both Chad and I were running down the street.

"I'll be there first, Hoops! There's no way you're going to beat me!" I grinned and sped up, catching up to him. I saw Chad look aside and than frantically try to go faster. I chuckled and sped up a little more, arriving first at the gigantic Evans mansion. When Chad halted beside me, he was out of breath and pouting.

"Man … that… was…unfair! I could've… easily…beat you!" He paused after every word as to catch his breath. Than he realised I wasn't answering and looked at me. Only to find me staring in shock at the house… or rather said mansion, in front of us. He than proceeded to look at it as well… and his mouth dropped open. In front of us was a house bigger than anything we'd ever seen, almost a castle. Only it was soft pink…I know, right? Soft pink! Obviously the whole family had an unnatural dislike for the colour.

Just than the doors were thrown open and an overexcited Sharpay was revealed. I blink my eyes a couple of times and Chad's mouth came to hang even further open because Sharpay was dressed in a hot pink, overly sparkly strapless dress that just covered her butt. That's not really what you expect a girl to be wearing on her thirteenth birthday party…

"Come on you guys! I'm so happy you're here Troy! You've got me a present?" She's already brought us to the living room where everybody else already was and now batting her eyelashes at me. I scratched the back of my neck and gulped nervously. Obviously neither me or Chad had brought her a present… but of course Chad was long gone and I was left to deal with this on my own.

"Well…ehm…" She pouted, but suddenly her face lit up in a smile. I gulped again, this couldn't possibly be any good.

"I know what you can give me…a kiss!" I looked at her in shock. No way! Me… kissing… her. But as I glanced into the crowded room I realised I didn't have much of a choice. So I turned to Sharpay who was still furiously batting her eyelashes, it was only after that she learned how to flirt, and nodded hesitantly. She squealed, pouted her lips again, closed her eyes and leaned in. I gulped again and than quickly closed my eyes and pressed my lips on hers, immediately pulling back. Sharpay squealed and ran over to her friends excitedly.

As I shivered in disgust, I saw Chad and Zeke approach. One pair of eyes filled with a combination of companionship, pity but most of all amusement and the other one livid with jealousy… it was at that moment I realised Zeke crushed Sharpay.

*Flashback*

I shivered again and fake-glared at Gabriella. "Thanks for reminding me!" She giggled at this but quickly shot up when she heard the bell ring. My eyes widened. "Quickly, we've both gotta get outta here!" Both of us bolted out of the room and walked in opposite directions, me myself turning a corner just before I heard people come into the hallway I'd just left. I sighed in relief.

"Hi Hoops!" I looked up startled at the sound of my best friends voice. "What are you doing here? Aren't your classes downstairs?" I scratched the back of my neck.

"Well, yeah… they are. And talking about classes, I gotta go! See you later man!" And with that I ran away from Chad. I knew he knew I'd been very uncomfortable, but he'd probably just think I'd been making out again. Which I hadn't…really. Gabs and I don't only make out, we also talk. And that's what we'd been doing this lunch, talking… mostly about the sleepover and how we almost got caught so often. We can relate to each other perfectly, another reason I love her so much.

Well I guess my classes went pretty easy for the rest of that day… but after all the classes I knew there would be a speech in the cafeteria. About our 'eating behaviour'… Tss, it's not like we got into a food fight everyday, only every other day! The only good thing is that we would get free food afterwards… I guess you could say it's kinda worth it, 'cause everybody always shows up.

Anyways Chad and I were walking to the cafeteria early, don't know why really, we just were, and we sat down at our usual table. Or really, Chad's usual table, I lunch in 111.

"So Hoops, who was the lucky girl last Saturday?" I looked at Chad confused before I realised he was talking he was talking about the party we'd been to with Sharpay and the girl they though I fucked. So really, he was talking about Gabriella… only if he knew. However I shrugged my shoulders uninterested and yawned.

"Don't now, man. Can't remember… I think something with a C…" I frowned slightly, staring of into space, pretending to think. "Yeah, definitely something with a C. Why?" He quickly hid his disappointed expression and grinned.

"Nothing man… just wanna know who're hanging with!" Like I'd buy that! Just when I was about to reply and voice I absolutely loathe interrupted us… You may guess whom it was to do what… It's not too hard… It was Britt, to flirt with me! Yay!

"Hi Troysie!" I cringed still I faked a smile at her.

"Hi Britt! Been missing me a little?" Disgusting, flirting with Britt! But we, me and Brie, have to keep our act. She batted her eyes at me and laughed flirtingly.

"Of course! Who wouldn't miss someone as hot s you?!" I grinned at her.

"No one?" I suggested cheekily. She giggled, I was once again the Troy she used to know. Or at least, I pretended to be… Suddenly I realised she was standing very close to me and I look up in her eyes. Which was really stupid, because the moment I did she closed her eyes and leant in. I looked at Chad in panic, who returned that with a look that obviously said 'That's what you get' and didn't show even the slightest sign of pity. Just as I returned my gaze to Britt her lips came down on my own. Her lips where soft as always, but pressed down upon mine harshly, her kisses were nothing compared to Brie's. I pulled away quickly and she looked at me surprised, I desperately avoided her eyes. Causing my eyes to land on a beautiful brunette standing in the doorway looking directly at us…

"Brie…"

I really like it ending here. I guess you probably don't, but you'll have to live with it anyways. So if you want a fast update R&R! The more reviews, the more motivated I am to make time when I really haven't! So you know what you gotta do…
