"Come on Sharpay, we're going to be late to your own dinner." I told her tapping my foot against the hard wood floor in frustration.
"I'm the Ice Princess. I can be late to my own dinner." She yelled from her bedroom.
"Some things never change do they?" I yelled back as she stood in her doorway and threw me the dirtiest look ever.
I laughed and shook my head as I looked around the apartment I had spent so much time in the last month and a half. I smiled when I came across a picture of her and I that Taylor had taken at her and Chad's New Years Eve party.
"Ok I think I'm ready." She said coming out of her bedroom. I turned around and my jaw dropped to the ground.
"Do we really have to go tonight?" I asked taking her into my arms. She had on a red dress and she pulled her half of her hair up and left the other half down.
"Do I look that good?" She asked as I smirked.
"You're going to make the other guys jealous that you're on my arm and not theirs." I said leaning over to give her a kiss.
"Hm . . . maybe we'll stay here and create our own magic." She whispered in my ear as I grinned.
"Don't temp me, Shar." I told her before kissing her again.
"Fine I won't. Let's go before we get distracted." Sharpay told me getting her coat and headed for the door.
"Whose car are we taking?" I asked her shutting the door so she could lock it.
"We can take mine. After all I'm the birthday girl." She told me grinning evilly.
"You're going to be playing that card all night long aren't you?" I asked her as she nodded her head.
"That I am. Have I told you thank you for today?" She asked me as I smiled.
"I think I've gotten all the thanks I need." I told her before getting into her car.
I came over early this morning and cooked her breakfast and then served it to her in bed. I had gotten her a dozen yellow roses. Then we went to the park and had a picnic. Overall, it was a great day with just the two of us.
"Earth to Troy? Haven't you been listening to what I've been saying?" Sharpay asked breaking me out of my little daydream.
"I'm sorry. I was thinking about something." I said hoping to cover what I was thinking about smoothly.
"Oh are you all right? You've been acting strangely for the past few hours." Sharpay asked me.
"I'm fine. I'm just ready to celebrate with you and all of our friends." I told her smiling.
"Good and I'm really happy you organized all of us getting together." Sharpay said smiling.
"Anything to make the birthday girl happy." I told her as she smiled at me.
"Well you have to make Ryan happy too but that's not to hard to do." She told me as we both laughed.
"Can we talk for a minute?" I asked her as she pulled into the restaurant's parking lot.
"You know I'll always listen. What's on your mind?" She asked pulling the car to a stop.
"Well we've been seriously hanging out since the 7th of December and going out since Christmas. Well I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend, you know, officially." I asked her with a tad bit of nervousness.
"Troy look at me." She said as I looked over at her. She was smiling at me.
"Of course I'll be your girlfriend officially. There's nothing you had to be nervous about. This feels right what we have right here. I'm not going to break your heart." She told me as I smiled.
"You just made me the happiest person alive." I told her smiling.
"Well we're both happy. Now how about we go into the restaurant before they send out a search party?" She asked as I laughed.
"Let's go birthday girl." I said as we both got out of the car and met in front of the car.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to my side. I kissed her lips before walking into the restaurant.
"How can I help you two tonight?" The hostess asked as I smiled at Sharpay before speaking.
"We have reservations for Bolton. There should be a big party of us." I told her.
"Ahh right this way. Your party has all ready arrived." She told us leading the way into a private room.
"About time you get here!" Chad's voice said as we walked into the room.
Taylor, Chad, Kelsi, Jason, Ryan, and Miranda, Ryan's girlfriend all sat there grinning at the two of us.
"Hi guys. Have you been waiting long?" I asked trying to keep my laughter in check.
"Oh you two are so late, it's not even funny." Taylor told us shaking her head.
"Don't blame me. I was all ready to go at 6 o'clock. Blame the birthday girl." I said pointing to my girlfriend.
"Hey I've got to look good since I'm the birthday girl." Sharpay said in her defense.
"You look amazing." Chad said bringing her into a hug.
"Why thank you." She said back before moving onto Jason to get a hug.
"Hey man. How's life treating you?" Chad asked me pulling me into a hug.
"It's going. School's kicking my butt. I'm so ready to be done." I told him grinning.
"That's good. Still keeping up with basketball?" Chad asked me as I smiled.
"I sure am and I bet I can still kick your ass." I told him while laughing at his shocked face.
"Oh we're going to have to prove that little fact one of these days." Chad said as I instantly agreed.
"That we will." I told him before giving Taylor, Miranda, and Kelsi hugs and shaking hands with Ryan and Jason.
We quickly fell into our own conversations. The guys talked while we watched the girls talk among themselves.
"So you have not been able to wipe that smile off of your face the entire night. What's up with that?" Jason asked me as I shook my head.
"I'm just happy." I told them grinning.
"You're not just happy. What's been going on with you and my sister?" Ryan asked as I glanced over at him.
"I asked her to be my girlfriend officially. And she said yes." I told them as they patted me on the back.
"Congratulations. She's made you happier than you've been in years." Jason told me.
"I am happier. It's been a shitty week but it's slowly getting better." I told them as they picked up on it immediately.
"Have you heard from you know who?" Chad asked me as I nodded my head.
"That's why it's been a shitty week. She called me twice and I'm about ready to changed my home phone number just to get her off my back." I told them.
"What did the evil bitch say this time?" Jason asked me as I laughed at their name for her.
"She claims that she misses me and wants me back. I just told her that I've moved on and I've got a new love. She claimed I was cheating on her long before she was cheating on me." I told them rolling my eyes.
"She's a bitch, Troy. You got out at a good time. You were 110 percent faithful to that relationship." Ryan told me as I nodded my head.
"You and I both know that but she can't get it through her thick skull." I told them.
"Has she talked to Shar anymore?" Chad asked me as I slowly nodded my head.
"She's been calling Sharpay's apartment a lot so I've been dealing with not only the ex but Sharpay's emotions as well." I told them running a hand through my hair.
"Dude I'm sorry. That's got to be tough." Ryan told me as I shook my head.
"It's getting better. I yelled at my ex the last time she called and told her not to call back." I told them smiling a little.
"Hopefully she won't call back." Chad told me as I grinned.
"I don't think she will." I told them before turning my attention to the girls.
"And what are you guys giggling about over here?" I asked walking over and standing behind Sharpay.
"Oh nothing." Kelsi told me quickly as I shook my head at her.
"Fine you won't tell me secrets I won't tell you anything." I told her while watching her eyes go wide.
"You've got secrets?" Kelsi asked me before I nodded my head.
"I sure do. You share a secret and I'll share one." I told her.
"All right. What's your secret, Bolton?" She asked me as I smiled.
I leaned over and whispered that I asked Sharpay to be my officially girlfriend. Her eyes went wide when I said that.
"Ok Nielson what's yours?" I asked her as she cupped her hands around my ear and whispered hers.
She whispered that I'm madly in love with Sharpay. She was grinning as she pulled back from me.
"That's not a secret!!! Everyone knows that." I said as she cracked up laughing.
"It's my little secret." She told me as I shook my head at her.
"Aww you poor baby. You didn't like playing Kelsi's game?" Sharpay asked looking up at me.
"I'll be all right." I told her smiling in her direction.
We all sat down and ordered dinner. We made small talk while waiting for our dinners. We caught up on what everyone was doing and what was going on in their lives. It was a fun evening and we promised each other to do it again soon.
There you guys go! I hope you enjoyed it!!! Feedback would be most appreciated!!!!
