Sharpay's POV

How dare that bitch? She has no idea what I'm going through. I just wish I could go up to her and slap the hell out of her. Hmm...I like the sound of that. I might just do it. She won't even see it coming. I'll walk straight up to her and... My thoughts were interrupted by Troy speaking.

"Ignore her. She just upset." Troy said as we walked out the building. I looked at him with confusion.

"Don't you have basketball practice?" He shook his head then smiled his million dollar smile at me.

"Its okay if I miss one practice."

"But won't you get in trouble by your dad?"

"He'll understand. I'll just tell him I had to catch up on my homework." I nodded and turned to walk away when he grabbed my arm. "Where do you think you're going?"

I looked in the direction of my house then back at him. "Home?"

"Wrong." I stared at him. "You're going out to have ice cream with me."

"I don't think so." I politely rejected as I got my arm from his grasp and walked toward my car. He grabbed my hand and turned me toward him. "What?"

"Why not?"

"Because I got to get home. I have other things to do." He raised an eyebrow at me.

"What else do you have to do?"

"Uh..homework."

"Homework can wait, and you don't even have your backpack with you. So how can you possibly do homework?"

I signed. "Fine, I'll go have ice cream with you, but thats all."

He smiled at me. "Lets go. I know the perfect Ice Cream parlor thats about ten minutes from here." He said as we walked to his car.

We climbed into his car and drove off.

We rode in silence on their way to the ice cream shop. Troy was focusing on the road while I just stared out the window.

When we finally arrived, we jumped out the car and made our way into the shop.

I looked around. I had never been here before. I didn't even know it was here. The walls were wood, while the floor was tile. Round tables and small booths ran around the little area. Hanging down from the ceiling was a sign that read 'Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop' and under was, what I thought to be, a menu.

"Come on, lets get in line." Troy said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the line. We talked as we waited for about two minutes before we were called up to the counter.

"What can I- Oh, hi Troy." The old woman smiled as she looked up and saw us.

"Hello Mrs. Guller." Troy smiled brightly. I looked at Troy confused.

"Oh Troy, you know you can call me Margrett. How has my favorite person been?"

"Fine."

"Hows school and basketball?"

"Great actually. I feel that we could go all the way just like last year."

"Thats great. So, who is this lovely young lady?" She asked looking at me.

"This is Sharpay."

"Your girlfriend?" I looked at her confused.

"No, my friend. What would make you think she's my girlfriend?"

"Nothing. Its just that friends don't usually hold hands."

"What?" Troy asked as we both looked down to see or hands still joined. "Oh." He retracted his hands from mine. I could feel my cheeks turn pink as the old woman chuckled.

"So, what can I get you two today?"

"I would like a the cake batter, two scoops." He turned to me. "What do you want Sharpay?"

"I want..." I paused for a minute. I already knew what I wanted but I wanted to make them wait. I had had Ben & Jerry's ice cream alot. "Two scoops of the Cherry Garcia."

"Coming right up." She professionally moved behind the counter, grabbing two cones, and placing two scoops of different ice cream into both. "Here you go." She said as she handed us the cones.

"How much do I owe you?" Troy asked as he took out this wallet.

"Its on me. Enjoy. Bye Troy. Bye Sharpay. It was nice meeting you." She smiled as she waved us off to tend the next customers.

We walked over to one of the booths and sat down opposite of each other.

No One's POV

Sharpay licked her ice cream before speaking. "She was very nice."

"Yeah. I've known her practically all my life."

Sharpay glance around the shop a little bit. "Is that how you know about this place?"

Troy nodded. "I've been having ice cream here all my life too. I've never had any from any where else." Troy said as he licked his ice cream.

"I wish I knew about this earlier. I love Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Especially this type." She said as she repeated licked her ice cream.

"Really? I've never tasted the cherry garcia. How does it taste."

She licked it again. "Do you want some?" She asked.

"Sure." Sharpay leaned her ice cream over to Troy and he took it out of her hands. "Can I taste yours?"

"Yeah." He handed her his. They sat there and tasted each others ice cream. "This is really good. What's in this?" He said as he licked her cone again.

"Uhh.." Sharpay said as she scratched her head with her free, while holding his ice cream in the other. "Cherry ice cream with cherries and fudge flakes. Whats in yours?" She, too, licking his cone.

"Yellow cake batter ice cream with a chocolate frosting swirl."

"I never heard of it."

"Its a new one." He waited a few minutes before speaking again. "Well, as much as I'm enjoying your cherry garcia, I would like to have my ice cream back."

"But I like yours so much." Sharpay pouted as they traded again.

He smiled. "Well if you like it so much, I guess you wouldn't mind me doing this..." he said as he got some of his ice cream, which was almost gone, onto his finger, and placed it on the tip of her nose.

Sharpay squealed as she felt the cold substance on her nose. She then looked at Troy pointedly. "Oh. My. Gosh. I know you did not just do that."

"What if I tell you I did? What would you do then?" Troy couldn't help but smirk.

"Well, then I would have to do this." She said as she got some of her ice cream, which was also almost gone, and put it on his nose.

Troy looked at her and she smirked. "Since you did that, I'm going to have to..." His sentence was interrupted by Mrs. Guller walking up to their table.

She smiled at the two-some. "Are you enjoying your ice-cream?"

Troy looked up and smiled. "Yes Ma'am, we loved it." he ate the last bit of it before getting up. "I'm going to throw this away and go to the restroom. Do you want me to take yours too?" He motioned at Sharpay's. She nodded. He grabbed hers, but before leaving he mouthed 'I'm going to get you later'. He then turned and disappeared behind a wooden door.

"So, are you and Troy having a good time?" Mrs. Guller asked as she offered a napkin to Sharpay.

"Thank you, and yes." Sharpay said as she wiped the ice cream off her nose.

"So, you and Troy aren't dating?" The woman asked.

"Nope. We're just good friends."

"Well thats a darn shame. You two would make an adorable couple." she smiled at the expression on Sharpay's face.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think me and Troy are getting together anytime soon."

"Why not? Its not like neither of you want to."

"I like Troy, but not that way."

"Are you sure? It seems that both of you want to be more then just good friends."

"I don't think so. Troy doesn't like me that way." Sharpay said, keeping her gaze on the napkin dispenser on the table.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Sharpay looked up at the older woman with questions. "Have you seen the way he looks at you." Sharpay shook her head. "When he looks at you, I could see that there was many things in his eyes. He looks at you in such a compassionate, caring, protective, joyful, and loving way."

"Everybody feels those things for their friends." Sharpay reasoned.

"Yeah, but what I mostly see is love. Not the friendship-type of love, but the real type of love. I see it in your eyes too."

"But you just met me."

"But I see it. I saw it when you two were up at the cash register, holding hands. I saw it as I watched you two laugh and giggled over here. But, what do I know, huh? I'm just an old woman, who's been there done that." Margrett smiled as she got up from the table. Just then Troy walked out the bathroom.

"Are you ready to go?" Troy asked as he stopped beside Margrett. Sharpay took her eyes off of Margrett and nodded.

"It was nice meeting you Sharpay."

"You too Mrs. Guller." Sharpay smiled at the old woman.

"Oh, you can call me Margrett too." She said as she hugged her then Troy. "Come back soon you too." She waved at the two-some.

They got in Troy's car and started driving. It was silent until Troy spoke. "So...what did you talk about while I was in the bathroom?"

"She was telling me some funny stories about when you were little." Troy looked at her with panic.

"She didn't tell you about the one where I ran naked around me house, did she?"

"Nope, but thanks for telling me." Sharpay laughed. "So where are you taking me now?" She asked as she saw that he wasn't going near her house.

"To one of my favorite places in the world."

"A basketball court?"

"No, the park."

A/N: Sorry for the wait. This was a kinda sucky chapter, but like I said in my other story, I can't think of anything right now. Its like my brain has done a total shut down on me.

Anyways, another thing. My mom just got a new job, which means she'll be gone all day. Which means she won't let anybody on the computer. So I won't be updating on the weekdays anymore. Just Fridays, Saturdays, and maybe Sundays.

Anywho, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter anyways. If you did enjoy it, review. Even if you didn't like it, review.

R&R Please
