Chapter 11: From ice cold to friendly warm
Previously in Out Of League:
"So I don't think of any one else then my self!" Sharpay exclaimed when they reached the hall.
"No you don't" Zeke yelled back.
"Yes I do! I care about my brother, my mom and dad. I care about Troy! And I care about you!" Sharpay started.
"No…" Zeke said, but Sharpay stopped him.
"Yes I do. I know I didn't treat you good. But I still care about you. Not as boyfriend but as friend." Sharpay tried to calm her self down.
"I don't want to be your friend! I want to be your boyfriend." Zeke said. He had stopped crying and wiped away the last few tears.
"Zeke, I love you as a friend. I want you in my life as my friend." Sharpay had also stopped crying.
"I am not sure I want you in mine. Not after this" Zeke said.
"Okay. Well think about it." Sharpay said and walk in the direction of her locker.
"I will" Zeke said. He went back to the class room.
--
Zeke didn't concentrate in class. He was thinking of his fight with Sharpay. He wanted to be her friend, her more than friend. He had loved the time they had spent together before she was with Troy. She had cared about him. She had showed her emotions to him, even though she was known as 'The Ice Queen'. Zeke still loved her. He didn't know if it would be too hard to be her friend when she was with Troy. Troy was his friend too. If he wouldn't be Sharpay's friend, he would loose another friend. He would break the basket ball team into to pieces. Probably by leaving Zeke by himself. Then Zeke only would have Gabriella back. He didn't know what to do.
--
Sharpay opened her locker. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked horrible. She found her make-up remover and removed all her make-up. She went to the restroom and washed the dried tears away. She looked at herself in the mirror. She saw a girl, who had changed so much, or maybe not that much, but a little. She had gotten more sensitive and she showed her feelings more than she had used to. She just wanted everything to go back to normal, so she hadn't been through all this. But then again she wouldn't have Troy by her side if all the things had never happened. She thought of Zeke, how cruel she had been to him. She promised herself never to do anything like that again. She would treat people nice from now on and never mean to hurt anybody. Can she do that? Sharpay cooked an eyebrow. At least she would try. She could hear the warning bell ring, so she just had to go back and get her bag from the class room.
She slowly went out of the restroom. There were already a lot of students in the hall. She quickly found the class room. Everybody had already left. She looked outside the window. She could see Zeke talking to Gabriella. Sharpay found it weird that they had started to talk each other. She thought of how she had treated Gabriella. She had actually just taken her boyfriend. She had to make that up too. And Kelsi too. She had also been mean to her. Maybe she should listen to her sometimes.
A voice broke her thoughts.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Troy said and added: "I have been looking for you".
"Oh, hey Troy." Sharpay smiled and hugged him. Troy gave her a kiss on her neck. Troy could feel something wasn't like normal.
"Is something wrong?" Troy asked. He hugged her tighter.
"Well, I have just had a big fight with Zeke." Sharpay finally said after a short while.
"What about, Honey? Has he done something to you?" Troy hit the air; imagine it was Zeke he was punching.
"No he hasn't. I have." Sharpay defended Zeke.
Troy looked confused at her. Had she cheated on him? He thought she loved him.
"Don't think I am cheating on you." Sharpay said, guessing his thoughts. She gave him a kiss and continued: "I love you. No, I meant I haven't treated Zeke kindly. I mean he never did anything mean to me, and I just cheated on him."
"So you wish it had never happened?" Troy looked at her. He was afraid what the answer might be.
"No, silly. Then I wouldn't have you, sweetie" Sharpay kissed him on the lips.
Troy looked relieved. He sent her on of his famous smiles. She smiled back.
"Come, I have a lot of apologies to make" Sharpay took his hand and went out in the hall.

"So, how did your class go?" Gabriella asked Zeke.
"Fine, I didn't listen. I was thinking about Sharpay and our fight" Zeke confessed.
"Have you been fighting?" Gabriella looked worried.
"Yeah, it was really stupid. I mean I accused her for not caring for anybody. And then she said she wanted me to be her friend. I just don't know if I can live with just being her friend. And if I chose to be her friend, I don't know if I can see her kissing Troy and hugging him all the time. I don't know what to do. Gabby, help me" Zeke explained.
"Zeke, I can't make the choice for you. But you will always have me as your friend." Gabby smiled and hugged him.
Zeke smiled back. He liked Gabriella so much, she was so sweet. And not as a girlfriend, but as one of his best friend. And he would hold on to her forever. Also after high school.

Sharpay threw herself in her bed. She had a head age. After her fight with Zeke, she had got it. She thought back of how she started to go out with Zeke. First his poem to her. Maybe he was right, he would never be good enough for her, but then again she shouldn't have treated him so bad. Then his cake. Mmmmmhhh, it had tasted so good. To bad they had broke it by their collide. He felt the same way about her, like she felt for Troy now.
Tomorrow she would put her plan into action. She would stop being such an ice queen.

The lunch break had just started. Students streamed to the cafeteria. Zeke and Gabriella had settled down at a table and slowly all their friends had joined them. Chad and Taylor was having a conversation. Gabriella interfere in it. Zeke and Troy were also chatting. Sharpay and Ryan made their way over to the table. Sharpay gave Troy a quick kiss and put her little as between Troy and Zeke. Ryan took the empty seat next to Gabriella. Jason and Kelsi were kissing at the table. They didn't care that other saw them.
"So…" Sharpay began and rose from her seat. Nobody, but Troy and Zeke, looked at her. She cleared her throat and then she got their attention.
"I wanna apology to your all, for being mean." They looked shocked at her.
Sharpay continued: "Gabriella, I am sorry for everything mean I have done to you".
She looked at Chad: "Sorry for everything I have called you and for making fun of your hair".
She turned her head against Taylor: "Sorry if I have done something or said something which hurt you".
"Kelsi, I am sorry that I never listen to some of your proposals. I saw the last musical, then one you had made the music to. It was really good. So if you have something, just tell them to me." Sharpay looked at Kelsi. She was smiling to Sharpay. Kelsi gave Sharpay a big hug and whispered in her ear that she would be glad to.
Ryan looked at her and smiled. He loved her more than ever. She had just done something he thought she never would get the courage to.
Sharpay looked at Zeke. She gave him a big smile.
"I hope you can forgive me for every thing. I am really sorry and I really want you to be my friend." She looked at him. She was really nervous for his answer.
Zeke smiled: "You will always be in my life. Even though I still love you, I don't want you to leave my life."
Sharpay looked relived. She sat down and gave him a hug and a soft kiss on his cheek.
Zeke whispered in her ear: "Sharpay, I hope you know you are going to be my best friend." Sharpay smiled by his words.

The whole gang met in the park after school. They were going to play basketball. Kelsi played along with Jason and Chad. On the other team were Sharpay, Troy and Zeke. The team teams were really fair. Kelsi had gotten good at basket too. Jason had played with her, and she just kept showing off. Chad was surprised over Kelsi. That she played so good. He had never imagined Kelsi even playing the game.
Taylor, Ryan and Gabriella were sitting in the grass. They didn't want to play basket ball. They were looking and cheering on them. Ryan and Gabriella were also having some kind of conversation. It looked like Ryan was feeling something for Gabriella. Sharpay interrupted their conversation.
"Ryan stop hitting on Gabby and come join us. Have some fun. Hey that counts you too, Tay." Sharpay was smiling.
She had amazed everybody, well except Troy, Ryan, Jason and Zeke, with her talent for playing basket ball. She had already score 10 goals. Chad was amazed. Troy had made fun of Chad's expression. It was priceless. Troy told him about that time they had played here with Houston, Garry, Scoot, Larry, Will and Warren.
Taylor rose from where she had been sitting.
"I wanna be with Chad then" Taylor said. She went over to him and gave him a kiss.
"Fine by me" Chad said and gave her another kiss.
"Are you coming Gabby?" Taylor said. Gabby rose too. She helped Ryan up.
Gabby and Ryan came on the other team. The played for an hour or two.
Zeke looked at all his friends. He loved they all could be together. He still loved Sharpay, but he knew Troy treated her good and as long as he didn't break her heart would he be fine with it.
Well, this was the chapter. I just felt I have to stop it here. I know it wasn't a so long chapter. But I hope that is okay. Pretty please review me? It means so much to me…
Toodles…
