Chapter Ten: Accidently In Love
It was the day before they had to return to school, and Sharpay was really happy to get away from the lodge, just as she was when they arrived.
"Your grinning. What's up?"
Sharpay turned around to find Zeke standing behind her, wearing a smile on his face.
"I'm just thinking about leaving this place...it's so much like East High!"
"Except it was much cozier, and I had my own kitchen." Zeke replied, and Sharpay laughed, and gazed at the lodge once more.
Before they left, Calista came over to say she was sorry to Sharpay (under the careful eye of Zeke, Haylie, and Ryan), and Sharpay accepted it, and gave Calista a hug before the girl headed off with her parents, and Sharpay went off with hers.
"So, what are you going to say to everyone at school when they ask you what you did over break?" Zeke asked.
"Well, I'm going to say I stayed at the lodge, and I got together with a very sweet guy.." she explained, as she took hold of Zeke's hand.
The trip wasn't excately what Sharpay had in mind, but it turned out even better now that she learned her true feelings for Zeke, while Zeke kept his bottled up since sixth grade (okay, maybe not bottled up).
Zeke chuckled. "And what about the personality change? How are they going to react to that?"
"I'm still the same old Sharpay..just when I'm around you, I'll be abit more nicer." Sharpay replied, and Zeke grinned.
"Works for me." stated, and that's when Haylie and Ryan came over.
"What are you guys? Slowpokes? Mr. and Mrs. Evans are waiting!" Haylie explained, while Sharpay and Ryan laughed.
"Call them by their first names, Haylie. That makes them feel old." Ryan explained.
"I can't do that! I don't know them well enough, and you know that!" Haylie replied.
"Sure, but you are right. We need to go." Zeke responded, and the four of them headed towards Mr. Evans' van, where Haylie and Sharpay sat in the backseats, and Ryan and Zeke sat in the front, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans sat way up front.
"So, I'm guessing you had fun, Sharpay?" Haylie asked, when the boys started their own conversation.
"I think so. How about you?" Sharpay asked.
"About the same. I just can't believe drama can happen on the holiday break!" Haylie stated.
Yes, Haylie was right, drama can happen at a lodge, but Sharpay knew something she didn't:
You can always find your true love at Christmas time.
