10:14pm, Sharpay's
"Do you think I should go over and see him now?"Sharpay asked as she opened her laptop.
"If you want to. Of course! I mean if I left for about a month and then I came back, I would run to my boyfriend.I'm surprised you actually listened to us and didn't see him."Taylor said.
"I know and i'm dying from it!"Sharpay whined."Do you have any idea how much I miss him?"
"Then call him.Duh!"Gabriella responded.
"Oh I don't have to worry he'll call me in like, well now."
"Really."
"Yep, Zeke always calls me exactly at 10:15 almost everyday."
"Wow, talk about care."Gabriella mumbled.
"Well he misses me and---"Sharpay's phone rang.
"And that's him I guess?"Taylor said as Sharpay looked at the id."Yes it is."She put the phone on speaker.
"Hey Zeke."
"Hey baby what's up?"
"Oh nothing, you?"
"Besides talking to you,Um i'm just hanging with the guys watching the game."
"Oh well don't let me interrupt your game, I already am hanging out with Gabriella and Taylor."
"Let's see if he's clueless like Troy."Taylor muttered, making both Sharpay and Gabriella giggle.
"Oh that's great-----wait, you're here?"
"Oh that was faster than the guys,"Gabriella commented.
"Yeah."
"When'd you get back?"
"I got back this morning."
"This morning!"Sharpay smiled.
"Yeah, I actually got back around what like four or something."
"FOUR!!!"
"Ow Zeke, stop yelling."Sharpay said playfully.
"Sorry, but I thought you got back tomorrow, and why didn't you tell me?"
"Well I decided to get back early and the other part is Gabriella and Taylor's fault. They made me not see you."
"No we didn't!You totally agreed with us."
"Because you forced me too!"
"Yeah right and you were dying for us to not when you were carrying bags and laughing at the movie. You were sure dying."Sharpay smacked Gabriella with a pillow.
"Ow!"
"That's what you get!"Sharpay quickly remembered and turned back to the phone.
"Any way,yes i'm back and i'm here!And happy that I finally came back after so long."
"Well i'm gonna go over there and give you a real welcome back."Gabriella and Taylor both exchanged aww's and turned back to Sharpay.
"Oh no go watch the game and have fun with the guys, you can say hi tomorrow."Sharpay said sincerely.
"I will do no such thing, when my girlfriend just or, came back from a very long visit I won't wait!"
The girls heard a who's that then all the guys come on the phone."Hey Sharpay!"Jason said.
"Hi guys."
"You're back?"Troy asked.
"Yeah."
"But I though you weren't comming back until---"
"Tomorrow I know but, I decided to come back early, I was only suppposed to be gone for a week but my grandparents begged since I haven't seen them for five years so here a whole month later you see little o'l me."
"That's great."Chad said."We'll come over and say hi."
"Oh no you guys don't have to."
"What are you talking about?"Jason said.
"You finally came back.Now we can end Zeek's missery and see you."Everyone laughed, except Zeek.
"Well if you want to okay but, you don't have to I already have Gabriella and Taylor keeping me company."
"Wow where has this nice considering Sharpay come from?"
"Shut up Troy i'm just trying to be caring."The guys laughed.
"Okay what ever.We'll---you're at your place right?"
"Yes I am."
"Okay,"Zeek said."We'll be there in about ten minutes tops."
"Okay.I'll see you guys when you get here."
"We'll see you too.I love you."
"I love you too, bye!"She hung up.
"So it looks like the whole gangs comming."Taylor said.
"Yeah, but Kelsi's not."Sharpay whined.
"Oh my god I forgot." Gabriella said.
"Hey guys have you seen my script for my play?"
"No."
"Really?I can't find it."
"What's the big deal you already memorized the whole play."
"I know but I like to refresh my self with the script just to see if I miss anything."
"Wow. I don't think I could care that much about drama.Ever."
"Well It's just something that I treasure."
"I know."Gabriella said.
"I can't find it anywhere."
"Well you have a lot of places to look through, starting with you big room!"Taylor said.
"You know what I don't have to.I'll just borrow Ryan's."Sharpay walked out the room with both girls following.Sharpay knocked on his room door."Ryan!"...
"Ryan?"Sharpay knocked one more time before entering.
"Oh he's not here."She left the room and wandered down the halls."Ryan!"
"Maybe he left."Gabriella suggested.
"Hey Larry!"Sharpay called out to the butler.
"Yes Sharpay?"
"Have you seen Ryan?'
"Yes he said that he was going out to think."
"Think?What does that mean?" I think I have a pretty good guess.Gabriella thought.
"It was just what he said."
"Okay thanks."Sharpay and the girls made their way back to the room.
"Wonder what his problem is."
"Yeah, me too."Gabriella responded, already believing she knew.There was a knock on the door.
"Of that must be them!"Sharpay squealed.
"Don't worry Larry i'll get lt!"Sharpay yelled as she ran to the door and opened it."Zeek!"Sharpay ran into his arms.
"Shar!I missed you so much!"
"Me too."They leaned in for a passionate kiss, which very soon turned into a makeout session."Hey.Sorry to interrupt you guys but we didn't come here to see you makeout."Chad interrupted.
"Sorry."Sharpay moved forward."I missed you guys!"
"We missed you too."Troy said hugging her.After Sharpay hugged all of them the guys walked in.

"Are you okay?"Taylor asked.
"I guess.but where do you think he went?"
"Well you're his best friend shouldn't you know."
"That's it.Am I his best friend now?"
"Don't say that Gabbs."
Gabriella sighed."Okay, you'r right I shouldn't be pesimistic." Suddenly the guys and Sharpay walked in.
"Hey girls."Jason said.
"Hi."Taylor responded as Gabriella smiled warmly.
"So,"Zeke began,"You're the two that kept Shar from me this whole time she was back."He crossed his arms.Gabriella looked at Taylor.
"Yea, we're guilty."She said.
"But before you get mad, I'd like for you to take a look at this."Taylor said reaching into her purse.
"A look at what?"Sharpay asked confused."Taylor took what she needed out and showed them to Gabriella who laughed.
"What?"Sharpay asked.
"Come here Zeek."Taylor said trying to hold back giggles."No!"Sharpay practically raced over to Taylor.Taylor quickly put the thing back into her purse and threw it over to Gabriella.
"You don't even know what it is Shar!"
"I don't care give it to me!"This time she went over to Gabriella who threw it back at Taylor.
"What are you guys hiding?"Troy asked amused.
"Well we'd like to show you but someone over here wont let us!"Gabriella responded.
"I don't know why."
"Because it's bound to be horrible."Sharpay said in between breaths as she continued to try and get whatever Taylor had.
"Oh come on it's just a picture."
"picture?Picture of what?"Sharpay asked immediately.
"Why can't we just show you it?"Gabriella asked playfully.Sharpay stood up and looked at the guys with pleading eyes."Can you guys please help me?"
"No don't do that! It's funny."Gabriella said, near the door with the purse.The guys looked from Gabriella to Sharpay to Taylor.
"I say we go with Shar."Jason suggested.
"What!"Both Gabriella and Taylor yelled. The guys agreed.
"Uh!Some friends you are."Gabriella said as she ran out the room with a smile.
"Go after her!"Obediently, the guys followed.
"No!"Taylor quickly ran out.After easily realizing that there was no way that she would ever be able to out run any of the boys let alone them together, plus the fact that she was wearing heels she just bought, Gabriella seeked out a place to hide.At least she could outsmart them.Thank god I got a head start.It wasn't really a head start.With her heels she was getting slower every second.Yep they would definately catch her.With a quick swish Gabriella sharply turned on her heel to the right, and then before letting the guys turn she dashed into another room.The guys ran into the room.Her plan had worked. They became clueless for about 10 seconds before going into the room after her.It gave her 10 seconds to throw the bag to Taylor who ran the opposite way and have Taylor hand her a look-a-like which she had grabbed.Yep they were sly. As Taylor ran her direction and Gabriella ran her's as she mentally cursed herself for not having the brains to take off the heels.Before she knew it, she was grabbed by Troy and the purse was taken away. Sharpay caught up and looked through the purse."Hey it's empty!"Gabriella stiffeled back a giggle."This isn't her purse!"Sharpay exclaimed."Taylor has it!"Automatically they started looking for Taylor."You are one sly little girl."Troy wispered into her ear."
"I know."Troy let go of Gabby and then started looking for Taylor.This gave Gabriella the oppurtunity to take off the heels and pull out her cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"In her room."Gabriella laughed and started making her way back to the room.She found Taylor posting the picture up on the wall.
"There we go."
"i don't even know why she's freeking out. It's just her with shopping bags."
"I know. All we wanted to do was prove that she loved the time.
"Did you develope that today?"
"Yeah my disposable camera was full so I got them all developed when we first got in the mall----Suddenly Sharpay bursted in with an angry face."Give me it!"
"We don't have it."
"What do you mean?"Zeke said walking in followed by the rest.Taylor simply pointed to a space on the wall.Sharpay looked.There was nothing humiliating on there.Just her jumping with two shopping bags making the happiest face in the world.
"But---"
"I told you you should have let us showed you before having all this mess.We were just trying to prove how happy you were today and certainly weren't morning over not seeing Zeek."The rest of the guys laughed it off while Sharpay stood looking like kill."Aww come on Shar it's just a little joke."Zeke said hugging her from behind.At his words Sharpay lightened up."Fine."Gabriella's cellphone rang.She looked at the caller id before picking up."You're supposed to be sleeping Ms."She said in fake anger.There was a soft laugh on the other end.
"I'm sorry mom but i'm bored."Gabriella laughed."God you sound even worse."
"Who is that?"Troy asked.
"Kelsi, Gabriella wispered and put the phone on speaker.
"Yeah I know."Kelsi responded."Death is near."
"No it's not."Troy responded.
"Is that Troy?"
"Yeah we're all here and you sound horrible."
"Oh thank you that really helped alot."Troy laughed.
"So how long are you gonna be sick?"Chad asked.
"It could be a whole week."
"What!"Jason practically yelled.
"Ow!"
"Oops sorry."
"What do you expect?"Chad said slyly.Jason punched him in the arm."But seriously are you that sick?"
Kelsi coughed a couple of times before answering."Yep."
"Are you still in bed?"Gabriella asked.
"I can't move, how can I get out of it?"Everyone laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing."
"You guys better not be makin fun of me or else."
"Or else you'll sneez on us?"Troy asked amused.
"Shut up. If I wasn't sick I'd get all of you."Kelsi sneezed.
"Bless you."They all responded.
"Thankyou."
"So how sick are you?"
"She has a fever, headace, cough puffy eyes sore through and keeps sneezing."Gabriella resopnded.
"Yeah what she said."Kelsi said.
"Well that sucks."Jason responded.
"Sorry."
"Well I guess i'll have to manage."Sharpay stood up.
"Where are you going?"Zeek asked.
"I have to go find my script."
"Script?"
"It's for her play."
"But can't that wait? I mean you just got back."Zeek practically begged.
"I don't have to look at it. I just need it for future preferences."Shrpay responded."Larry!"The butler appeared in her presence.
"If you see my script could you give it to me or put it in my room."
"Of course Madame."
"Oh and tell Ryan that I need to see his script in the main time."
"Oh wow I forgot Ryan even lived here."Chad pointed out.
"Yeah me too."Gabriella took the oppurtunity to sneak a glance at Troy. He didn't do anything but agree. See, he can't be involved. I knew it!
"I'm sorry Madame but he is still out on his walk."
"But it's like, what's the time?"(I know if I wrote 'what time is it', you'd be sayin summer time but we're back in school!)
Chad looked at his watch."11:13"
"What walk?"
"To think."Sharpay responded as if she had no clue at all.
Only Gabriella and Taylor had a guess what he could be doing, and possibly, Troy too.
"Why couldn't he just think here. This place is like a mile long."Chad said.
"It's called fresh air.Dummy."Kelsi responded."You should know about that."
"Haha funny."
"Hey Sharpay?"Troy asked.
"Yeah?"Troy sat up from his positon on the bed."Don't you get tired of pink."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know!"Chad started. "He might be talking about your rediculous room."Chad pointed to the pink walls, light pick dressers and princess bed.
"My room is not rediculous. It's georgous."
"Oh this is gergous?"Chad patted Zeek on the back. "Sorry buddy."Zeek shoved Chad. Jason laughed followed by Troy.Sharpay was disgusted. A thunder bolt and loud clash made them all jump.The girls shrieked. It soon started pouring violently."Dam, thank god we drove here."Jason said.The guys reluctantly agreed."But he didn't."Sharpay said looking outside the window.
"Who?"
"Ryan.His car's still here."
"Oh he's gonna get soaked."Zeek said.Another flash of lightening hit.
"Or worse."Sharpay said."You think he's gonna be okay?"
"I don't know."Taylor responded. "Hope so."

Reguardless of the storm Ryan continued walking at the same pace as before. He didn't care.Ryan had been out for over an hour now and had alot of time to think.Larry was right, he would have to tell someone but who could he tell?He couldn't tell any of the guys, they wouldn't believe him. Hell, he wasn't gonna tell his sister, you had got to be kidding.Taylor would just blab it all to Gabriella as soon as she hears and Kelsi would probably do the same.He had to tell someone but who would he be able to tell? "No one." A roll of thunder roared over head. It was getting cold, and Ryan knew he had better be headed back before he cought pnemonia. Ryan turned around and began walking back to his home. He started slow because he knew that everyone would be there due to Sharpay's homecoming. Ryan looked down at his attire.They were stuck to him. Usually outside of school he would wear something that would make him look normal at the least.Almost like the guys. He only wore those rediculous outfits because his mother and Sharpay made him. Ryan thought they were outrageous and was often accused of being gay because of it.It was now 11:56 and he was only about 4 blocks away.The cold had over come his body and he knew if he didn't get home soon he would be sick.At this time he wished that he had taken his car."But noooo I wanted to walk.Stupid."
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Sharpay looked at her watch."Where is he?"She had been looking out the window every five minutes to see if he would appear.Gabriella began to get worried too.They had tried to call him but the signal wouldn't get through."Don't worry Shar, he's probably losing track of time."Zeek said trying his best to assure his girlfriend."What if he's not.God mom and daddy are gonna kill me!"
"Uh,Ryan's 17. I don't think he's your responsibility Shar."Jason said truthfully.
Sharpay looked out the window one more time before sitting on the bed."He probably did lose track."Chad said, though half not believing it.Everyone had been uneasy and trying to know Ryan's whereabouts, even Troy got a tiny bit worried. A few minutes passed.It was now 12:11.Chad's cell rang, he went outside of the room to answer it.About a few seconds later he came back."My 'rents want me home."
"Yeah i'd guess so. You all should go home."
"Sure?"Zeek asked.
"Yeah he'll come sooner or later.And plus I've got these two."Sharpay said putting her arm around both girls.
"Oh of course another sleepover."Troy muttered. "Well then I guess we better go."Jason said. The guys with the exception of Jason kissed their girlfriends goodbye and left.The girls settled on the bed.Sharpay looked at her watch again. "God this is so frustrating. He knows he could catch pnemonia."Gabriella looked at Taylor with worry.Only did everyone calm down when they heard a key in the door and Ryan's voice. The girls walked downstairs and nearly gasped at the sight."You're soaked!"Sharpay said looking at him.Ryan looked up."Yeah I guess so."Larry had given him a towel and he was drying his hair off.Sharpay crossed her arms. "Where have you been?"
"Out."
"Doing what. You should have already--"
"Excuse me. When you're my mom, you can tell me.In the mean time I don't have to be here at anytime when their not here."Ryan stormed off into the kitchen.Sharpay gasped."Well you are kind of acting like a mom Shar."Gabriella said before she followed Ryan with Taylor.
"We were just worried, I mean it's like pouring outside Ryan."Taylor said as she walked in. Ryan grabbed a soda and faced them."Well I appreciate it but if I were in trouble I would have called."
"But the signal was out."
"Well then i'd think of something.But i'm fine so whatever."He walked pass them. "Night."He finished before walking up to his room and closing the door.Once inside the room Ryan got out of the wet clothes and into dry ones.His mind floated back to telling someone. Who could he tell?
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Who do you guys think he should tell?
