They kissed as if their lives depended on it, like nothing existed in the universe around them. They were too warped up in each other to notice the reactions of the watchers on. The kiss was as animalistic as the day had been so far.

I told you it was going to be an animalistic day.

Hands groping the clothes on the others back. Tearing at each other, savouring each other, never wanting to let go, not daring to let go.

Outside there was the envious and jealous growl of most of the female population, glaring daggers at the girl who was latched on to what they thought was their man. How dare she?

Then there was the awwws from some of the crowd who approved, but notice there were not many, not surprising though is it really.

Then the next reaction was the shocked and flabbergasted gasps of most people, the people who couldn't believe that this sweet and innocent girl could fall for the baddest of the bad.

"…Wait doesn't that girl have a boyfriend?" an honest spectator spoke up from the crowd, but it was a whisper in golden silence that lead to a following whispers of "o yeah!" and "Oh my god he's right" and other incoherent sentences.

There were two more reactions from two other people in the crowd, both completely different from each other. One was from Miss Sharpay Evans who spoke no words and no sounds, just a smirk and the thoughts that no other could read "Knew it!" she looked on at the scene playing before her still smirking, oh yes she knew all.

The last reaction but the most worthy take note reaction was that from Mr Chad Danforth. His growl reciprocated the same sound the ongoing thunder released from its depths. He was furious. Though his fury could not match those of his best friend and could not scare others with his fired up fury also like his best friend, it was safe to say that he, Chad Danforth, was not a happy bunny.

Finally after what seemed an eternity to the outsiders and what seemed too soon to the insiders the kiss was broken.

Breath was ragged and heaving, leaning on the other for support for the dread of letting go and collapsing on the floor was inevitable. But even through the desperate drags of air a smile played on her soft swollen red lips, she felt good, she hadn't felt that in a long time, she had unleashed her anger that she had for the world for the first time and she had let the pent up passion and lust she had for the boy she was clinging onto like a tiger pouncing on their prey and he was her lion.

His eyes were closed and his breathing was becoming more regular, his stance regaining. He let his tight clinging grip on her ease up and he looked into those pools of chocolate and gave what could be called a smile, but that was all she needed, for that not-so-much a smile ignited that regained blue light she had in her life.

Then out of no where his eyes narrowed and he stiffened and she noticed straight away the change in him. Her eyes shone with confusion and her head was slightly moving, searching the crystals that hid so much for a clue, for anything.

She was about to speak but before she could breathe let alone speak he left the room; silently and sharply.

She looked longingly at the door that once occupied his existence. God she was so confused. Confused being the understatement of this century, of any century really. Her arms feel to her sides in despair and then she ran her shaking finger through her silky locks and looked through the crowd who were observing her with hawk like eyes.

She jumped back in fright as she saw the death like glare that was powering through the separating glass which radiated from Chad.

"Well what the hell have I done now?" she thought.

"TROY BOLTON!" Ferocious howls echoed through the deserted hallway save for one man who was walking briskly out of the school.

"Fuck off Sharpay." He matched her ferociousness easily, his sounding more murderous by the minute.

"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO FUCK OFF TROY BOLTON! YOU STOP RIGHT NOW!" Her voice was matching the aggressiveness that the dog she is fondly named after have.

He stopped, he turned. His eyes glinting killingly and his face hard and stiff and revolted.

"What do you want?" his voice was forcing the words out grittily and his hands were clenched so tightly their turned milk bottle white. Now Sharpay was never one to be scared easily, everyone knew that, she knew that, but one person always challenged that fact and that was the one she chose to argue with on this very day. Poor choice of timing some would say, I would, you probably would too.

She gulped, her hands trembled a little, and her eyes shone the frailness she now felt. This is how truly terrifying Troy Bolton could be. He smirked, he knew the effect he could have even on the Queen Bee of East High, and the fear is something he liked people to feel around him. Her voice however did not show an inch of her appearance.

"How could you leave her there like that Troy Bolton?"

The nerve she had would impress him if she hadn't pressed a subject he really didn't like talking about.

"What's it to you?" He countered nonchalantly.

"Don't you even try Troy Bolton. Don't even try to pretend she isn't the cause of this behaviour, this murderous smell you've put down on MY school."

He laughed and it echoed, he was tormenting.

"Your school? Last I checked I owned everything."

"Maybe so Troy Bolton, but I'm the female side to owning this school." Her eyes narrowed and she ventured closer to him. "You don't own everything though do you Troy? Hmm?" she started circling him and his eyes followed her track, he knew what she was getting at and he didn't like where this was going. Her voice dropped to that icily whisper she was famous for. "You don't own her, do you? You don't own the one thing you yearn for…"You don't own…Gabriella Montez…And it kills you that you know it." Her next sentence came out slowly, patronisingly and hurtfully. "Troy Bolton doesn't own Gabriella Montez."

His eyes squeezed themselves tightly shut, his whole body went numb and totally stiff, he couldn't move, he was stuck. She pushed him to where he really didn't want to go. He felt his blood boil, he knew she was right, damn he knew she was right before she had even said it. He let out a strangled sigh, she pushed him too it, that was the only way he could loose control and she figured it out. Sharpay Evans knew the only way to make Troy Bolton boil over was to bring up the subject he tried to ignore. Gabriella Montez.

"You know nothing Evans, don't even try." He swivelled round to her, pushing her and she fell to the ground. He didn't bother to help her up he just murderously look down at her, daring her, he didn't care, why should he?

She stayed in her place on the floor. "Don't be your usual bastardly self Bolton. She feels something for you, God knows why, but she does and you her, don't even try to run from it, hide from it or deny it. And you've just left her there, she has no idea what's going on and she deserves to know, damn you Troy Bolton." Her voice rose with every upcoming word she spoke. She looked quite hysterical, but that's what Sharpay got like when she was mad, but she was madder than mad.

He crouched down to her level and done his best to not let his anger out and let his voice raise, he was going to calm himself and keep himself emotionless like he normally did. He looked her straight in the eye and she almost recoiled at his emotionless stare. "Look after her Sharpay…Don't ask questions just promise me you'll look after her, make her fit in." confusion etched over her face, what was going on through his mind? Why was he asking this? There were always too many whys with Troy Bolton.

She nodded slightly showing she agreed even though she had no understanding.

"Good." With that he got back up and walked out of the school not giving one glance back at it. He just marched on in the pouring rain, the deafening thunder and the sparks of lightning. No one saw his look of desperation that he allowed to show when he left. No one, no one at all.

The crowd had dispersed from the classroom that only now held one occupant. She was sitting on the only desk in the room that hadn't been thrown in the previous battle. Her face gave off vibes of all her emotions. Confusion. Hurt. Scared. Happiness. Her face gave off the tiniest of smiles. Could she be happy at a time like this? Well she was and she couldn't help that. She couldn't help the penetrating feelings she was having for this man (man not boy) and know she had an inkling of understanding towards his behaviour. It was better than none though right? Right.

He was scared. Scared of being vulnerable. She knew that he had the highest status of Albuquerque and that he had rivals. Anyone at the top always had a rival, which was a known fact. So if they knew he had a weakness they could help bring him down. She was a danger to him. As stupid as that sounded to her she knew it was true. She guessed it also had to do with the fact that they were becoming to close considering she had a boyfriend and he didn't do relationships.

She had to thank him in a way, never had she felt wanted before and needed. She felt that with him and for that she was grateful as she knew she'd probably never feel it again, especially with Jamie being her boyfriend.

She jumped after hearing the clash of thunder and lightning that put the whole day in retrospective view.

If only there was some way the whole scenario could be simpler.

She looked up from her hands and looked around her room, the crowd was now gone and she had to giggle to herself. Never before had she been involved in such drama and never before would she have expected to be involved with such. Now though she couldn't imagine being out of it.

It seemed as if no school was going to go on today. The whole school was disorientated so there didn't seem much point in doing anything.

She looked out the window and saw the hopelessness she felt reflected from the weather. She sighed. Now all she had to do was fight temptation, and she could do that.

Wrong.
