CHAPTER 24: What am I going to do?

"Each one's life always has the starting point

Each one's life always has an end point.

God never gives us a challenge that we'll never get through

But before succeeding, there are times that we need to get hurt too."

During lunch time, Sharpay was at the hall and looking at the bulletin board.

She sighed, "I got the role."

Suddenly, her fellow students gathered around her.

"Wow! You got the role Sharpay!"

"Congratulations!"

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Can I take a picture of you?"

"Can you sign my undies?"

Sharpay thought, "Uh-oh. They're into me again! Like always! CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME?"

Suddenly, they heard the voice of the cheerleaders.

"Oh my gosh! TROY BOLTON!"

"Troy Bolton! And damn…he's in the locker room!"

"OMG!!"

"Hey girls, the locker room is open!!"

Then, they turned to Sharpay.

"Just stay here Ms. Sharpay Evans."

"We'll be right back!"

"WE LOVE YOU!"

As soon as the fans left, Sharpay felt hands covering her eyes.

"Guess who," she heard a voice of a man as he uncover her eyes.

"Troy," she smiled as she saw him. "But…they were chasing on you."

Troy laughed, "No. I borrowed Chad's tape recorder. He recorded Tamyra and her pep squad's voices last year and so that's the one responsible for the voices earlier."



"Cool!" she laughed.

"I missed you," he told her sweetly.

"Oh come on Troy. We just saw each other yesterday…and last night," Sharpay said. "How come you missed me SOOO much?"

"I love you, you know that!" he winked. "What are you doing here anyway? ThoseWildcats had been all over you today."

"Well, I was just looking at the results," she smiled.

"Results?" he took a looks at the bulletin board. "Oh! CONGRATULATIONS!"

Sharpay giggles, "Thank you!"

"I told you you'll get the lead role," he smiled. "This is really awesome!"

"I know," she smiled back.

"Hey, I was thinking we celebrate," Troy glanced at her.

"Troy! I always get the lead role!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"I know, I know. But it isn't a bad idea, right?" he smirked. "We'll go out on Friday alright?"

"Friday? Okay," she smiled.

Then, after a quick kiss, they went to the cafeteria to meet up their friends.

The boys smirked, "Hey dude! We got you your lunch!"

"And yours too girl!" the girls added.

"What took you two so long?" Kelsi asked.

"Well, those kids got me again!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"What? So they got you two together?" Zeke asked. "That's a big break for Fred!"

"Fred take shots, dude," Chad told him. "Charlie, Amy, Drew, and Susan do the writings."

"It's just the same, pal," Zeke shrugged. "They'll all get the credits. Wildcats will grab their own copy of the school newspaper if that happens."

"No man," Troy said. "They didn't catch us."

"Um…aren't you gonna tell to your FANS about you two together?" Martha asked

"Martha we won't risk Sharpay's life you know," Taylor joked. "If the school will find out about this, Tamyra and her cheerleader gang will be hunting Sharpay with their nail kit, pom poms, and everything even in the Earth's inner core."



They laughed.

"Besides, they'll find it out on their OWN LITTLE WAYS," Jason added.

"I totally agree with you Jason," Sharpay laughed. "They would do anything just to know anything about me or Troy."

Then, they ate their lunch while chatting and chatting and chatting. During dismissal, the basketball team went to the gym for practice. Ryan and Sharpay went to the hospital while the rest went home.

"Hi," the secretary greeted the twins. "How may I help you?"

"Hi. I'm Ryan Evans," Ryan responded. "And, we have an appointment with Doctor Thomas."

"Oh yeah, sorry," the secretary stood up and led them to the doctor. "Doc, Mister and Miss Evans are here."

Then, the doctor let them in and took their seats.

"I've already worked on the request forms for the examinations," the doctor started. "You want to start now?"

Ryan turned to Sharpay and gave her a "are you ready?" look and she nodded.

"Margaret!" the doctor called for assistance then they started doing the different examinations and everything. Ryan asked the oncologist to do them twice or even thrice just to make SO sure.

Ryan called home, "Hey nanny. Is dad already there?"

"No, not yet sir. He's still out in a meeting," the nanny answered.

"Oh I see. Well, could you do me a favour?" he asked. "Just in case, he'll arrive before us, could you tell him that me and Sharpay are out…just doing some stuffs."

"Okay sir," she responded.

"Okay, bye, thanks also," Ryan hang up.

After all the examinations, they were all back at Doctor Thomas' office.

"I have the results and I even asked my fellow oncologists to help me in studying them just to make sure," Doctor Thomas started.

"That's great doc," Ryan said.

"You see Miss Evans, according to the…" the doctor was cut off.

Sharpay glanced at him, "I wanna know exactly what the results are."

Ryan nodded.



"Okay," Doctor Thomas sighed. "Miss Evans…you have a brain cancer. The doctor who first looked at you wasn't lying."

"What?" Ryan didn'y like what he heard.

"Yes, Mr. Evans. I'm sorry." The doctor shook his head. "Maybe you should have brought her here earlier for medications and maybe we could have been cured her."

"But we thought I was just having a silly headache," Sharpay said.

"It's a part of it Miss Evans. I'm really sorry," he meant it. "In fact, this is hard to say but, ONLY MIRACLES can cure you."

Sharpay glanced at Ryan and he did the same thing. Finally, they both believed that Sharpay has a cancer. Very sad, they went home. That night, they were having a little bonding time beside the pool area.

Sharpay's phone was ringing.

"Sharpay," Ryan called out.

"Mmm?" Sharpay was staring at space.

"Your phone is ringing," he told her. "I mean, your phone is ringing for the 12THTIME."

Finally, she took a look at it. She saw Troy's name in the caller id. She tried to hold back the tears as she put the phone back to her side.

"Hey," Ryan glanced at her. "Who is it? Why aren't you answering those calls?"

"It's Troy," she replied, still trying not to cry. "I'm not yet ready to talk to him. I'll just break out into tears Ry."

"Can I answer it for you?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah. Just don't…tell him about you know what," she answered.

Ryan pressed the answer button.

"Sharpay," Troy was happy to know that his call was finally answered.

"Troy, this is Ryan," Ryan spoke.

"Oh…Ryan," Troy sounded disappointed and he really is disappointed since it wasn't Sharpay who answered the call after TWELVE ATTEMPTS. "Can I talk to Sharpay? Is she there?"

Ryan turned to Sharpay and gave her a "he wants to talk to you" look.

Sharpay shook her head with tears falling from her eyes.

Ryan managed to say, "Um…Troy. Sorry bro, but she can't talk right now."



"Huh? But why?" Troy asked with a worried voice. "D-Did she had the killer headache again? Is she alright?…"

Ryan cut him off, "No! Troy, slow down. My sister is just…tired. Yeah, she's tired…because of the rehearsal earlier. First rehearsal you know."

"Well. She didn't have the headache again, did she?" Troy asked.

"No. Headache? No," Ryan told him. "Well, she had fallen asleep so basically, she wasn't able to answer your phone calls. Sorry dude."

"No, it's alright man. I just wanted to make sure she's doing fine," Troy said. "I don't want to disturb her anyway. Just…let her rest."

"Yeah," Ryan agreed.

"I'll just see her tomorrow then," Troy was less worried now. "And you too dude."

"Yeah. I'll just tell her you called," Ryan said then they both hang up.

"What did he say?" Sharpay asked immediately.

"Well, your boyfriend is worried about you," Ryan answered.

"Worried? Why?" she asked. "Is Tamyra on her way here?"

"No, cut it out! I'm serious Sharpay," Ryan gave her a "it's not funny" look. "He thought you had a headache again."

"What am I gonna do?" she tried to be serious again.

"Here's the phone if you wanna call him back," Ryan handed the phone back to her. "Shar, Troy's totally worried."

"But you told him that I'm fine, right?" she glanced at him.

"Yeah but…he sounded worried still, though a little worried," he told her.

Sharpay, suddenly, was in deep thought.

Ryan spoke, "I don't really think this is the right time to open this up but…how bout the c-a-n-c-e-r?"

"I-I dunno," Sharpay shook her head.

"Are you thinking we go for another oncologist? Because I'm willing to," Ryan glanced at her.

"Ryan. Come on. We both know its positive, its real," she told him. "Can't you just accept it?"

"I don't know. I don't even want to think about it actually," Ryan replied. "Why? Do you accept it already?"



"Ryan," she tried to hold back the tears. "Maybe I'm too young to die but, what if this is really my destiny?"

"No more what if Sharpay," he said. "You're totally a nice person. Responsible student, sweet daughter, greatest twin sister, cool friend, perfect girlfriend. It's just…it doesn't seem right."

"Ryan," she tried to smile. "I told you. I'm already starting to prepare myself for this."

"So you mean, you're now ready to leave us all here?" Ryan looked at her.

"No," she said quickly. "I just want to make things easier…if I'm realy gonna die."

"So you're gonna them?" he asked.

"Maybe the gang and dad…but not Troy," she looked up in the sky. "Six months will be fast. And, I'm not gonna trust in miracles. You know what I mean."

"So you really are accepting this?" he raised one eyebrow.

"I hate to say this but…yes," she looked at him. "And I want you to accept it also and even the guys, everyone of you."

"Do you really think Troy will do that?" he asked her.

"He have to," Sharpay held her locket. "He have to do it."

"But it wouldn't be easy for him," Ryan insisted. "We both know that Shar."

"To make things easy and even easier," Sharpay paused for a moment and her tears fell down. "He have to stop loving me."
