Work This Out

"Thank you for sharing that with everyone Mr Bolton," Ms Darbus stated from behind the crowd of students.

Troy blushed and Sharpay smiled, "sorry Ms Darbus," he mumbled.

"I think everyone should go get lunch before you run out of time," she continued shooing everyone from Troy and Sharpay.

"Well that was embarrassing," Troy said smiling holding out his hand.

"Well at least I really know how you feel about me and you're not afraid to tell everyone," she replied taking his hand as they headed through the hallway.

"Isn't that your sister with Troy?" Gabriella asked looking at Ryan.

"Yeah apparently they're dating."

"You seem angry at that."

"I am. Ever since she met him she's had a crush on him and he's always been interested in other girls and never in her, now he's all over her and I know he's gonna hurt her, I know it," he rambled as Gabriella listened.

Troy led Sharpay up to the roof where the science garden was kept.

"Wow Troy, I never knew this place existed," Sharpay gushed with a smile on her face.

"So you like it?" he asked as he watched her look around and check out the view.

"Like it? Troy it's beautiful up here romantic and quiet away from that bunch of idiots down there."

"I know I come up here when I need some time to just think or be alone."

"Understandable," Sharpay replied sitting down on a wooden bench.

Troy headed over to the bench and joined her, "I love you," he said as he leaned over to kiss her.

She pulled back, "I love you too," she replied leaning her head on his shoulder.

They both sat and ate their lunch quietly and romantically without all the fuss of everyone else staring at them.

"Come on, we better get to Miss Lacey's class," Troy said patting her leg and standing up.

"Yeah ok," she replied reluctantly standing next to him, he held out his hand and she smiled taking it.

Sharpay and Troy walked through the halls hand in hand ignoring everyone and everything around them.

"I can't believe we had to give 'Charlie' back to Ms King, I know 'he' was just a doll but I'm gonna miss 'him'," Sharpay said sitting at her desk next to Troy.

"Well I'll keep reminding you of 'him'," Troy replied laughing.

Sharpay smiled, "I'll hold you to that."

Gabriella was sat next to Ryan at the back of the class he seemed to be glaring at someone in front. She glanced in the direction in which he was looking and looked back at him.

"She's happy Ryan," Gabriella commented, Ryan looked over at her.

"I know but it will end in tears I can see it now," he replied.

"Then you'll be there for her if and when that happens, right now she needs your support all the crap she's getting from the rest of the school," Gabriella reasoned.

Ryan looked at Gabriella and then to Sharpay who was laughing at something Troy had said to her, "you're right she needs me to support her."

Gabriella smiled; finally she had gotten through to him.

"So are you coming to my place tonight?" Troy asked smiling at Sharpay.

"Of course if it's ok with your parents, your mum makes the best food ever and I guess having you as company is good too," she replied smiling back at him.

"It'll be fine with them, maybe I could drive you home and you could pack a bag and stay the night."

Sharpay raised her eyebrows, "what would your parents think?"

"I don't care what they think I just know that I loved waking up next to you."

"That's so cheesy but I loved it, ok lets go pick up some stuff, mum and dad aren't home and Ryan won't care."

"Great," Troy smiled as the last bell rung, he gathered his things and helped Sharpay with hers.

"We have detention first," Sharpay said as Troy headed for the main entrance.

"Damn! I forgot," he replied turning back and following her to Mr Turner's classroom.

"Ah Mr Bolton and Miss Evans please sit and I'm glad you remembered to show up," Mr Turner said as they both took a seat.

They sat silently, occasionally glancing at one another each time slightly smiling.

"Ok both of you may leave and try not to be late to my class again," Mr Turner said looking at the pair.

"It won't happen again sir," Sharpay replied leading Troy out the classroom.

They headed to Troy's car hand in hand and only let go to climb in their respective side, Troy started the engine and back out of his parking space.

Sharpay leant over and switched on the radio humming along to the tune, Troy glanced over at her and smiled as he continued his drive to her house.
