The Cruise

Chapter 13

The Worst Idea EVER

These past few days have just been completely terrible. Ever since Crystal came back to Albuquerque she has made my life Hell. She's always trying to find a way to keep me and Troy away from each other and Troy is such a bonehead and a sucker for a pretty face that he doesn't even notice it. Every time she uses one of her strategies to keep us apart I feel like just going up to her and pulling her damn weave out. The ONLY thing that is stopping me from doing what I want to do is Troy. Even though I don't get to spend as much time with him now, since she discussed with Mr. Bolton that he should be more focused on school and his team than on his girlfriend, even though he is doing perfectly fine in school and on the team, it is way better than losing him and if I do any thing mean to her I'm terrified he'll break up with me. That is definitely one of my worst fears. So for now I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it.

The next day at school

When I walked into the school doors next day I expected to find Troy waiting for me around the corner like he always does, but when I didn't see him I looked over towards his locker to see Crystal flirting with, which totally pissed me off.

So instead of just not saying anything to Troy like I usually do if something like this happened I walked over to where Crystal and Troy were at glared at him. "Hi Troy… Crystal," I gritted through my teeth trying my hardest not to yell or show how mad I was, yet.

"Hey babe, what's up," troy smiled putting his hand on my waist and kissing my cheek until he looked at my face and saw how pissed I was. "Um, Shar, are you okay, because you look a little mad."

"What, oh no everything is just fine, um Troy could I please talk to you over there please," I faked a smile looking at him then glaring back at Crystal.

"Uh, yeah, sure, but…" before he could finish what he was saying I grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him over to where my locker was. "Hey, what was that about," he asked straightening his jacket out.

"Oh, well, you know how every morning I love to see your face right when I walk into the school and you like to see me when I walk in, right," I asked rubbing my finger against his chest as he nodded. "Well then what the hell happened today," I yelled in a soft tone as I slapped his chest making him flinch and rub his chest.

As soon as he realized what I was talking about he cursed himself. "Shar I am so very sorry, it's just that Crystal showed up out of nowhere and she told me she transferred here, because she thought that she was going to be home schooled, but it turns out she's coming here, isn't that great," He cheered throwing his hands up in the air.

"I'm sorry where was the exciting part in all of this," I said in a very sarcastic tone.

"Shar, come on you have to give her a chance, hey how about this you guys hang out tonight maybe try to get to know one another," he asked smiling making me scoff. "Please Shar, for me," He plead taking both of my hands in his and giving the puppy dog look.

"Oh fine, you know I'm a sucker for your little puppy dog face."

"Oh thanks Pay," he yelled grabbing my waist and spinning me.

"But only on one condition," I yelled over him as he put me back on the floor.

"Oh boy, I can already see this is bad," he moaned as I looked at him in disbelief. "I'm sorry, but conditions with you are just scary."

"Well this one isn't so bad and I will definitely keep what you just said in mind, Troy Bolton," I pointed out. "Anyways, my parents are going out of town for the weekend and Ryan is staying at one of his friend's houses tonight, so I am going to be in that house all alone and I was kind of wondering if I could stay at your house for the weekend," I asked hoping I wouldn't be too much trouble.

"What, yeah, sure, that would be awesome," he exclaimed with joy and I could tell he was thinking there would be something going on between us this weekend.

"Ok, first off Troy you haven't even asked your parents yet and second of all nothing is going to be happening this weekend if I can stay over at your house," I sighed not exactly wanting to say that, because I knew he would be disappointed, especially when I saw him mouth an oh. "Troy I love you, I truly do, but I'm just not ready for that yet, when the time comes I'll tell you," I said pushing his hair, which was in front of his eyes, behind his ear.

"No it's okay Shar, you don't have to explain anything, it's cool, I understand you're not ready yet," He grinned, that beautiful grin that I love, as he put his arms around my waist while I put mine around his neck, then he kissed me gently on the lips. "I love you Shar and I will definitely wait for you."

"Aww, I love you too," I beamed hugging him.

Right as we were fixing to kiss again the school bell rang and we had to hurry up and get to class, especially since our class was a little walk. So I grabbed my bag out of my locker grabbed his hand and we both ran off to class.

After school

"You want me to what!?" I heard someone yell from the school parking lot as I made my way outside of school. As I got closer I saw Troy leaned up against my car waiting for me, how sweet, talking to the little bitch who's trying to steal my boyfriend, not so sweet. As I got closer I started listening to the conversation, so instead of letting it end I thought why not just hide behind a car and listen.

"Look I understand that you have a new girlfriend now and sadly I have to deal with you and her everyday, but she is a total bitch, I mean when I saw her in the middle of class today I tried making a conversation with her, but instead she flipped her ugly blonde hair at me and told me to get the hell away from her, can you believe that." Boy I sure couldn't seeing as how that was a total and complete lie, damn she'll do anything to make me look bad. I hate her!

"Look, maybe your exaggerating, I know Sharpay can be mean sometimes, but that just doesn't sound like her." Aww, he does love me.

"Well apparently you don't know the real Sharpay."

"Look, Crystal all I'm asking is for you to do this one little thing for me, Sharpay giving it a shot, so please will you give it a shot."

"Alright fine, but if she flips her hair at me one more time I am so pulling all that pretty hair right out of her pretty little head, got it?"

"Whatever," Troy said as he got off my car and gave her a hug goodbye, making me sick to my stomach.

"Hey Troy," I grinned at him giving him a kiss on the cheek as I walked up to him and Crystal. "Hi Crystal," I said in a fake voice and a fake smile, boy acting sure does come in handy.

"Hi Sharpay, so I guess I'll see you tonight, how about we meet at the diner down the street," Crystal asked referring to Duke's diner down the street, the place she knows I would never eat, mainly because they serve very crappy food.

"Yeah, sure, why not, I'll see you then, bye," I yelled putting my sunglasses on and getting into my car with Troy following.

The drive to his house was pretty quiet since I knew that if I started talking it would slip out that I was spying on him and Crystal and I did not feel like starting a fight with Troy.

"So I'll see you later on tonight," he asked as he opened his car door.

"Did you parents say yes?"

"Yeah, did I forget to tell you, I asked my dad during gym class today and he called mom and she said she'd be delighted to have to over."

"Ok great, I'll get my stuff after dinner with the little tramp."

"Sharpay, please just give her a chance."

"Fine, fine, fine, but I'm not making any promises."

"That's fine, I'm just happy you're doing this for me, I'll see you later tonight, I love you," he said kissing me goodbye on the lips.

"I love you too," I smiled as we stared at each other until he closed the door once he was out of the car.

Once I left Troy's house I headed to that icky diner that I hated so much.

When I walked in I noticed Crystal sitting at a booth in the back so I walked over and sat down across from her, but instead of saying anything to each other which just sat in dead silence for a few minutes. That was until she spoke up.

"Listen I don't like being here anymore than you, but I'll do anything for Troy that is the only reason I am here and it's the same with you, if Troy hadn't begged you to come you would not be here right would you," before she could give a chance to say a remark back to her she kept on talking. "Now the only reason you haven't said anything mean to me is because you don't want Troy to get upset with you and so I've realized to use that to my strategy," she said looking at the menu.

"What strategy would that be," I asked a little confused.

"To get Troy back that's why I've been going out of my way to separate you two, because I know you'll keep getting angrier and angrier with me and you can't keep that anger bottled up too long, now can you," she smiled a very evil smile.

"You are a little bitch," I yelled softly.

"I know, but what are you going to do, huh?"

"I'm going to tell Troy, duh!"

"Uh, yeah not such a good idea, because how do you think Troy will feel once he hears that Shar was spying on him."

"What, I was not," but before I could finish my sentence she pulled my cherry balm lip gloss out of her purse. "Where did you get that?"

"Under my car I found it there while I was putting something in my purse and I remembered that you were putting this stuff on earlier this morning, but then I thought a lot of girls could use it, but then again I do remember seeing some kind of blonde hair by my car," she grinned once again, making me shiver while she gave my lip balm back to me. "So, are we going to tell Troy about this conversation or are we just going to lie to him?"

"He'll never hear about this conversation from me."

"Good, now let's just sit here and silence for the rest of the night, okay?"

"Yeah, whatever."

The ride home after dinner that night was terrible. I couldn't decide if I should tell Troy about what happened or not. All I know is I have to get Troy to try and keep my anger down, now that I know what she is trying to do.

Once I had packed everything for the weekend and was now at Troy's house, I grabbed my suitcase from the trunk of the car I walked up to the front door to find that is locked. Seeing as how it is midnight I'm pretty sure everyone was asleep, so I thought I would try to climb Troy's balcony, kind of backwards, but oh well.

Once I was on Troy's balcony I knocked on his door, desperately waiting for him to come out since I was fixing to freeze out here. Then finally I heard the door open.

"Shar, you do know there is such a thing as a front door, right," he asked trying to keep his eyes awake while I tried to keep my eyes from going down to his chest, which was completely bare, damn he's mean.

"Sorry, but it was locked, so I thought of a second plan, now can I please come in, I'm freezing," I yelled silently and shivering, pushing past him while he grabbed my bag from outside and brought it in his room.

"Do you want to sleep on the floor or the bed," he asked me.

"I'll take the bed, but you can sleep on the bed next to me, I don't mind," I said as I walked out of his bathroom, got comfortable in the bed, and patted the spot next to me for him to come lay down.

Once he was next to me I turned over and got more comfortable while he put his arm around me.

"I love you troy," I said closing my eyes.

"I love you too Shar, good night," he whispered in my ear, giving me a kiss on the cheek and tightening his arm around me a little more. Soon enough we were both asleep in a very comfortable position.

Well i hope you guys liked it, it took me forever to do this one and the next few chapters are gonna be based on how Sharpay deals with the fact that she wants to tell troy the truth and how much it killing since she's living at his house for the weekend, please please review,thanx.
