-Chapter 39: Trust-

(Saturday, April 18, 2009.)

Trust: (n) reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence; hope; is the thing relationships and friendships are based on;

"Morning girls! Where you both off to looking beautiful as always?" Inez asked her daughter and Sharpay as they walked down the stairs Saturday at eleven o'clock after having both taken thirty minute separate showers.

And Inez was right they both looked beautiful as always. Sharpay was dressed in a beautiful fuchsia metallic graphic print flutter kimono sleeve dress, a pair of fuchsia faux leather patent bow sling back 4 inch high heels sat on her perfectly pedicured toenails, white pearl jewelry, her hair down in her natural blonde waves, white Chanel rhinestone sunglasses on the top of her head, and a rose pop Louis Vuitton Wilshire Boulevard tote on her left shoulder, her iPhone in her right hand showing a picture of her and Gabriella hugging on the top half of the background and a picture of her and Zeke on the bottom half, cuddling.

Gabriella was dressed in a red bra padded band tie pleated mini dress that fell a little above her knee caps, a pair of 4 ½ inch red peep toe strappy ankle platforms sat on her perfectly pedicured toe nailed feet, her make up was done in smokey shades with red lipstick, a pair of black Chanel rhinestone sunglasses sat on top of her head that had her natural waves cascading down her back, her T necklace and engagement ring and a ruby bracelet was her jewelry, and around her right shoulder was the same tote as Sharpay's but in red, her iPhone in her right hand with a picture of her and Troy on the top half and her and her parents with dogs on the bottom half.

"We're going to have tea with Ms. Darbus because we need some advice and she's the teacher we trust most," Sharpay told her with a smile.

"Alright, well you girls have fun. And Gabriella?" Inez said before the girls walked out the door after popping their sunglasses over their eyes.

"Yeah mommy?" Gabriella ask turning her head.

"Be glad that your dad isn't here and in L.A. so he doesn't see you dressed in the mini-mini skirt and shirt you bought to go to the club with tonight. Have fun and I love you. Drive safe," Inez told her daughter.

"I will love ya mommy," Gabriella told her mom before her and Sharpay walked out to Sharpay's pink convertible. Smiling Gabriella hopped into the passenger seat and buckled up as Sharpay hopped into the driver seat, buckled up, started up the car, plugged her iPhone into the stereo for music, and drove around the circle street that they (and all the Wildcats) lived on before turning left, heading to Ms. Darbus' house.

(Ms. Darbus' House-1PM)

"Well, I defiantly can see why you girls would think that," Ms. Darbus told them after they explained why they needed her advice.

"Great. But you see the problem is we don't know what to do… I mean its just that," Gabriella started.

"That you both love your boyfriends and or fiancé very much and believe me I know that. But my question is girls, THAT'S NOT what you're afraid of. What are you REALLY both afraid of, it can't be that you're afraid of your boyfriend and fiancé because I know that's not the case. So really truly girls what is it and don't be afraid to tell me," Ms. Darbus replied.

"Alright, I'm just afraid that…that," Sharpay started voicing both hers and Gabriella's fear, their true fear.

"That if we choose a different college than her boyfriend and my fiance that we're going to drift apart or cheat or….or…or," Gabriella started, but stopped as she got tears in her eyes.

"Or that he'll find somebody new and better. More prettier, more fun to be around, more intresting, more mysterious, someone taller, someone smarter, someone….someone that's just an all around all American girl," Sharpay finished, her now having tears in her eyes.

"Oh girls. I want you to listen and you listen good you understand me. Those boys love you with what looks like all of their hearts. And by the looks of it you love them with just as much love, but I'm going to tell you girls something and I want you to listen loud and clear.

Trust is the easiest thing in the world to loose, and the hardest thing in the world to get back, sometimes impossible to get back. But girls, trust your men and they'll be true to you; treat them greatly and they'll show themselves great because they know not to let you go.

But girls trust lies at the core of love; there can be no true love without trust. The point that I'm trying to say is…" Ms. Darbus said in a caring and motherly tone.

"Is that we need to trust them," Gabriella and Sharpay finished in sync.

"Yes because the only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him because to be trusted is a GREATER compliment than to be loved. Do you girls see what I'm saying and understand me?" Ms. Darbus asked them with a soft smile.

"Yeah we do," Sharpay answered for both her and Gabriella who both smiled lovingly, brightly, and thankfully at her.

After spending another three hours talking to Ms. Darbus about anything and everything, Sharpay and Gabriella both hugged Ms. Darbus.

While hugging Ms. Darbus, Gabriella whispered in her ear, "Thank you Ms. Darbus. Really truly you've helped me in more ways than one."

"You are very, very welcome. But how did I help you in more ways than one dear?" Ms. Darbus asked her as they pulled back.

"For telling me exactly what I didn't want to hear and for that is why I thanked you and I still thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ms. Darbus," Gabriella told her with a smile.

"Oh darling. It was no problem it's my pleasure," Ms. Darbus told them and before they walked down the three steps and to pink convertible Ms. Darbus said, "And girls?"

"Yeah Ms. Darbus?" they both chorused turning their heads, sunglasses over their eyes, hair no pulled up in high ponytails.

"Call me Dianne and don't be afraid to stop by anytime. And just remember that trust your mind to think with time; patience is the key to all your answers," Ms. Darbus, Dianne Darbus, told them with a soft, motherly smile.

"Thanks…Dianne and we'll defiantly take you up on the that offer," they told her.

"Bye girls and drive safe. And don't forget your Romeo & Juliet homework is due Monday," Ms. Darbus told them as she waved to them as they got into the pink automobile.

"We will to both things. Have a great day!" They said back as they buckled up before Sharpay started up the convertible, plugged in her iPhone, and carefully drove off.

TBC…

Well, there you all go. I know, I know, I know…its boringly short, but I figured you would all want to know how the convo between them was going to go and it was. Anyway, I wonder if the girls are going to take Ms. Darbus' words to heart and talk to their boys? Hm, well just have to wait and see. Much love. And again sorry so SO SO short. XOXO.

Trivia: There is none right now, sorry.

Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the moment, ignore the pain. Live, laugh, love. Forgive and forget. Life's too short to be living with regrets. So DON'T.
