Gabriella said that she had to go home but told Sharpay and Taylor and Kelsie that next weekend she was going to have a sleepover. They all said they would be there and Gabriella left.

Jason and Troy wanted to know what had happened last night to Chad and Zeke. Jason had an idea. He invited Troy, Chad, and Zeke over to his house next weekend to watch the game. They agreed and Jason left.

Next weekend at Gabriella's:

It had been a boring week. Nothing had happened. It was said that Ashley and Katie had gone on vacation and wouldn't be there the next two weeks. At this news everybody was happy.

Gabriella was setting up for the sleepover that night. She really hoped her plan worked. Everyone had arrived at 7:00 for the sleepover at Gabriella's house. They did each other's hair, nails, and facials. When everyone started to get bored Gabriella pulled out 13 Going on 30. Kelsie smiled as Gabriella put it in the DVD player and hit play.

When it got to the part in the movie where Jena's "boyfriend" was in a towel Gabriella sighed. "Do you guys ever wonder what your boyfriend looks like in a towel or with out anything on?"

Kelsie smiled. "Yeah. How 'bout you Taylor?"

Taylor's face paled. "N-not really."

"Is that because you already know what he looks like?" Kelsie's smile grew. "Maybe that's what you were doing in the room with Chad." Taylor's eyes opened in horror but she refused to speak, so they turned to Sharpay.

"And what about you and Zeke?" Gabriella asked.

Sharpay didn't even look the least bit worried. "Everyone downstairs was getting kind of crazy, you know with the punch and stuff, so Zeke and I headed upstairs to get some privacy. We watched TV, made out a little, and eventually fell asleep."

They were getting nowhere with Sharpay, so Gabriella decided to try Taylor again. "Is there any excuse you have for being up there with Chad? Alone. Late at night? Drunk?"

"CHAD AND I HAD SEX!" Gabriella's mouth dropped open. Kelsie, who had been taking a drink, spit it out all over the place. Sharpay sat there to stunned to speak. Taylor put her head in her hands and started crying.

Gabriella closed her mouth and went and put her arm around Taylor. "Shh. It's ok. I mean it's just… wow."

"W-we didn't r-realize w-what we w-were doing. W-we w-were drunk!" Gabriella hugged Taylor and rocked her back and forth.

Kelsie came and sat on the other side of Taylor and put her arm around her too. "It's nothing bad. Did Chad say anything after words?" Taylor shook her head. "Then he doesn't see anything wrong with it. And neither should you."

Sharpay recovered from her state of shock. "I thought I was the only one." Everyone looked at her. Did she really say that out loud? "Oops."

Gabriella was so surprised. "I thought you said you didn't do anything?"

"I lied."

Taylor sat up and wiped her tears. "Well you're a great actress."

Sharpay smiled. "I know!"

Gabriella sighed. "I can't believe you guys… you know."

Taylor blushed. "I know."

"You wanna go see the guys?" Sharpay asked.

Kelsie gave her a weird look. "But they're all at different houses."

Sharpay smiled. "Actually I heard Jason and Troy talking right before they left last weekend. I heard they're all going to be over Jason's house."

Gabriella smiled. "That's right down the street. Let's go now, but be quiet so that we don't wake up my mom." They all got their shoes and coats and headed out the door.

At Jason's house:

The game had ended a while ago and now all the guys were bored. They had gone outside to play basketball two on two but that had ended when they lights went out and Troy accidentally hit Zeke in the face with the ball. Now they were lounging in the living room doing… nothing.

"So… uh… nice party last night." Troy was trying to think of how to get the guys to tell.

Jason smiled. "Yeah. To bad about the punch being spiked though. People started going crazy. You should have seen some of them." He said the last part looking at Zeke.

"W-what do you mean? I-i was there the whole time." Zeke stuttered.

Troy smiled. "Then why were you and Sharpay heading downstairs from the direction of Sharpay's room in the morning?"

"We… uh… I… it's not what you think."

Jason's smile grew. "Oh I think it is."

"We… I… OK FINE! I FRIKEN SCREWED SHARPAY! HAPPY?" Everyone in the room went quiet.

Then Chad smiled. "Whew! I thought it was just me and Taylor." Then everyone looked at him. He mentally slapped himself.

When Troy recovered from his shock he yelled, "YOU TWO SCCREWED YOUR GIRLFRIENDS AND DIDN'T TELL US!"

They heard someone cough behind them so they turned around. Standing right behind them were the girls. Jason stood up. "And who let you into the house? I could have you arrested for breaking and entering."

Kelsie stepped up and kissed him. "I don't think you would."

Gabriella went over to Troy and sat on his lap. "Well now we all know hat really went on at the party." Sharpay, Zeke, Chad, and Taylor all blushed.

Troy smiled. "Yeah. I just wonder who spiked the punch."

Kelsie nodded. "It was probably Trevor."

Zeke frowned. "Nah. I think it was those weirdos from West High."

Sharpay looked offended. "Those weirdos are my cousins."

"Oooooooooh. So that's why they looked so snobby and stuck up." Troy was rewarded with a whack over the head. "I'm just telling it as it is!" they all started arguing about who each of them thought it was.

Chad walked over to Taylor. "Let's go somewhere quiet where we can talk." Taylor nodded. Chad took her hand and led her outside, down the street to the park, and sat down by the lake where he pulled her into his lap.

He looked at her but she wouldn't look him in the eyes. He lifted her chin so that she was looking at him. He could tell she had been crying. He pulled her into a hug as she cried into his shoulder. "Hey now. It's alright." He cooed as he stroked her hair.

"I c-can't believe w-we d-did w-what we d-did!" she started to cry harder.

He started to rock her back and fourth. "It's ok. It's not our fault. It's… the punch spiker's fault." Taylor gave a short giggle and Chad smiled. "I heard that." He looked down at her but she curled up so that he couldn't see her face. He started tickling her until she couldn't take it. She broke out laughing.

He was soon lying on top of her so that she couldn't get away. Finally when she could no longer breath she said, "O-ok C-chad! M-mercy!" he stopped tickling her and let her catch her breath. When her breathing was normal again she looked up into his big brown eyes. Slowly he leaned down and captured her lips with his.

For a few minutes they made out and then (reluctantly) Taylor broke it. "We better get back. They're probably wondering where we are."

Chad stood up and helped Taylor up and took her hand in his and walked back to Jason's. When they entered the house everybody looked at them. Troy smiled. "I thought you guys would have gotten enough action last weekend but I guess not."

Taylor sank back a little and Chad held her tighter to him and glared at Troy who shut up immediately. "We just went on a walk to the park. Just sometime to ourselves."

"You already had enough of that last weekend." Troy muttered under his breath. Chad heard him and hit him over the head. "Ok just so everyone knows I'm not a punching bag of any sort!"

Sharpay, who was snuggled up to Zeke on the couch, said, "With the comments you keep making you're going to be as beat up as one."

Everyone laughed but Troy who sat there and pretended to pout. Gabriella pecked him on the lips and he deepened it. Soon they, and everybody else in the room, were making out.

When the clocks chimed 3 a.m. the girls said good-by to the boys and went back to Gabriella's house.

Two weeks were up and Katie and Ashley were back, very tan and as annoying as ever. The gang had avoided them as much as they could. That day after school, though, they ran into them. Literally.

Sharpay ran into Ashley while walking out of school. From the looks on their faces this was not going to turn out good. Ashley crossed her arms over her chest and said in a snobby voice, "Watch where you're going clutz-er-ella." Zeke and Ryan held Sharpay back as best they could.

Katie smirked. "Heard about that party of yours. Heard it was a little crazy." She smiled at the look on the gang's faces. "Surprising what a little alcohol can do." Both Katie and Ashley had evil smirks on their faces.

Zeke and Ryan couldn't hold Sharpay back any longer. She flung herself at them. "YOU BITCHES!" she had knocked them both them to the ground and was beating them both pretty well. Then Ashley brought her knee into Sharpay's stomach as hard as she could. Sharpay grabbed her stomach and fell to the ground.

The gang chased Ashley and Katie off and went back to Sharpay who was still holding her stomach and was now crying. Zeke was down by her side. "Shar? You ok?"

Sharpay shook her head. "It hurts. More them normal." She was taking sharp deep breaths.

Zeke picked her up and took her to his car. "Come on guys. I'm taking her to the hospital." He placed her in the back seat and got in the drivers seat and started to drive off. The rest got in their cars and drove after him.

They had been waiting for half an hour for the doctor to be done taking tests on Sharpay. Her parents had arrived a few minutes after everyone else.

Taylor sighed. "What do you think is wrong?"

Ryan shook his head. "I don't know. I just hope it's not serious."

Right then a doctor came out. "Sharpay Evens?"

Her parents stepped up. "We're her parents."

The doctor smiled. "Hi I'm dr. Fitch. Could you please step over here for a moment?" they nodded and were led away.

Zeke rubbed his hands over his face. "When will we know what's wrong?"

Kelsie patted him on the back. "Soon. Just be patient."

A few minutes later a nurse walked over to them. "You can go see your friend now."

They all stood up and followed her down the hall and to a room where they could hear Sharpay's mom going hysterical. "How could you do this? You're only seventeen!"

Ryan knocked on the door and Mrs. Evens came over and opened the door and let them in. Sharpay was on a bed with her legs pulled up to her chest crying. Mr. Evens stood up and went over to his wife. "We'll leave you guys alone for a few minutes." They left.

Zeke started rubbing Sharpay's back. "Come on Shar. It can't be that bad. Just tell us what's wrong."

Sharpay only started crying harder and Zeke pulled her into a hug. Finally after a minute she calmed down enough to say, "I n-need t-to talk t-to Z-zeke alone."

Everyone looked at each other, shrugged, and got up and left. Zeke looked down at Sharpay. "Sharpay please tell me what's wrong."

She looked up at him with blood red eyes. "Zeke I'm… I'm pregnant."
