Hey again! Here is the latest chapter of Hawaiian Hook-up! Read and enjoy!
Oh, and I'm working on my sequal to you've got mail, Boston, City of Love. So I might not update as quickly as I did last time.
Troy sat on the beach, waiting for Sharpay to come.
'I might as well hit the waves while I'm waiting…' he thought as he got up and ran on the beach, feeling the sand in between his toes. A huge wave was coming and he was ready to catch it.
The wave got bigger and bigger as it neared the shore. Troy got up on his board and rode the wave, going inside a tunnel of water and slashing through the end of it. He didn't have a thought on his mind until he looked on the shore to see Sharpay waving at him.
He waved back, losing concentration. Before he could regain balance he was underneath the water, feeling like a complete dork. The last thing he wanted was for her to go back to school and tell everyone about how he completely wiped out. Maybe she would be nice and not tell anyone about his klutzy moment, all he could do was hope.
He swam back to shore on top of his surfboard and slicked back his wet hair.
"Way to go out there! There is no way I could ever be brave enough to go out there and surf…" she said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Thanks, I kinda wiped out, so I wouldn't be so envious if I were you!" He said with a laugh.
"Want to sit down?" He asked.
"Sure!" she replied happily.
The two of them sat on the beach talking about school, music, musicals, and other things until the both of the fell silent watching the sun set in the horizon.
'Sharpay isn't too bad after all. She isn't acting like an ice queen as usual…maybe she is different than what she seems…' Troy thought a smile forming on his face.
Then, the ringing of his cell phone interrupted their peaceful moment. Troy looked to see who it was…Gabriella.
"Hello?"
"Oh, hey Troy! How was your flight? How is the hotel? Do you like Hawaii? Have you meet anyone new?" Gabriella bombarded him with questions, the last one in particular stuck out the most to him. He didn't meet someone new exactly, but he didn't want to tell her who he exactly met.
"Gabby chill! One question at a time, but do you mind if I call you back later, I'm kinda in the middle of something. Talk to you soon!" He said, not wanting to talk while he was with Sharpay, it would seem rude if he did.
"But Troy I need to tell you something important!" Gabby said, but she was too late, Troy had hung up the phone. Gabriella and Troy had broken up before Troy's vacation, but had figured out that they were best as good friends than girlfriend and boyfriend.
Troy then turned off his phone, knowing that eventually Chad, Zeke, or Jason would call.
"Oh, was that Gabby?" Sharpay asked with slight disappointment. She hadn't heard of Troy and Gabriella's break-up just yet. Plus, she knew Troy loved Gabby, but oh how she wished it was her he loved.
"Yeah, she wanted to see how I was doing in Hawaii…" Troy replied a little uneasy. He wasn't so sure if it was a good idea to meet Sharpay here in the first place. Everything had seemed to be going fine until the phone call.
"Well I'll let you get back to talking to her then, she is your girlfriend after all." Sharpay said as cheerful as she could while getting up to leave. Deep down she was angry. Angry at herself for even asking Troy to meet her here. She was hoping if he actually got to know the real her he might like her.
"Girlfriend? Gabby isn't my girlfriend, we broke up. Didn't you know that?" Troy questioned, surprised that word hadn't gotten around yet. Gossip usually got around fast in Albuquerque.
"What? But I thought that…wait! So you aren't going out?" She asked astonished that the dynamic duo had actually broken up. This is her chance to finally get Troy to see the real her!
"Nope, we broke up this summer. Now get back down here, you don't want to leave me all alone now do you?" Troy replied with a smile.
"Fine, if I have to stay to keep you company…" Sharpay said in a sarcastic tone.
The two talked for a little bit longer until Sharpay got up and started to run, Troy right behind her. For a overly dramatic ice queen, that girl could run fast. Luckily, Troy's Wildcat basketball practices had come in handy and he caught up with her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Troy said as he ran backwards beside her.
"Seeing if you can catch me…" Sharpay said with a grin as she sprinted ahead. Leaving Troy behind.
"Oh so that's how you want to play? Okay, I'll race you!" Troy yelled as he turned around not see the washed up wood on the shore. He tried to jump over it, but it was too late to do anything. He was on the ground and hurrying off the sand to catch back up with Sharpay.
In the end, Troy won. Out of breath and tired; the two sat back down on the beach in front of a bonfire.
"Who knew you could run that fast?" Troy said when they were settled near the fire.
"If you think that was amazing, you should see me run in heels!" Sharpay said with a laugh as she pulled her hair up in a ponytail and straightened out the flimsy skirt she had on to cover up the bottom of her pink bikini.
"Ha ha ha, very funny…No, really why aren't you in track or something?" Troy asked with a grin.
"Well, to stay skinny I have to work out. And running helps to keep you fit. But as for the track team…I'm a performer, not an athlete. Being an athlete is over-rated, but acting, that takes passion. You know the feeling you get when you get a touchdown-"
"Basket." Troy corrected.
"Whatever…Anyway, that is what it feels like when I am up on stage. Singing, dancing, acting, those are my passions." Sharpay said as she thought back to her first performance in kindergarten and how good it felt to have all eyes on her.
"You really love the attention don't you?" he said jokingly as he nudged her on the shoulder.
"I feed off it. It feels so good to be noticed. Why do you think I'm so mean to everyone? I need the attention; it gets me through the day. Not to mention, when you are mean no one tries to run all over you. Ryan is always so nice, and he does all these great things but he never gets the recognition he deserves. He let's people walk all over him, and that is exactly how I don't want to be…" Sharpay said afraid she was saying too much.
She had never told anyone why she acts the way she does. 'Troy just has this amazing way of making you feel so comfortable, like he will always be there for you and keep your secrets…' Sharpay thought.
"Wow, so the Ice Queen finally comes clean!" Troy said in a joking manner.
"Please don't call me that!" Sharpay said, everyone called her that, she hated it. I guess they did have a right though, she was so cold to people. Maybe she needed to warm up just a bit, shed a few layers of ice off herself.
"Sorry…"Troy said, regretting he had ever called her that. 'She is such an amazing person; too bad no one else can see how great she really is. Wow, she is really cute when she smiles. Wait, what am I talking about? I can't fall for Sharpay! Her eyes are amazing…maybe I do like Sharpay…' Troy thought as he looked into her caramel eyes. He quickly shook the thought out of his mind and returned to their conversation.
"It's okay, just please, don't ever call me that again!" she replied almost begging.
"I promise. Maybe we should head back to the hotel, it's getting kind of late." Troy looked down at his watch to see that the time was 11 o'clock.
The two walked back to their hotel stopping at Sharpay's room first.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow at 3 for the hotel luau; if you are going of course." Troy said with a smile that melted Sharpay. It was too late to deny, she had fallen for Troy all over again, and just when she had thought she was over him.
"Yep, I'll be there! I'll see you then!" Sharpay said with a genuine smile, something many people didn't get to see.
Sharpay moved closer, as did Troy. The two were getting closer and closer as they leaned in for a kiss. Then Ryan opened the door.
"Oh, sorry! Wait, Troy? What are you doing here?" Ryan asked as he noticed how close Troy and Sharpay were to each other and figured out what they were about to do.
"My family is here on vacation…Wow look at the time…I better go…" Troy replied as he moved away from Sharpay and waved as he walked away. He was only halfway down the hall when he heard yelling from their room.
"RYAN YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE SO GOING TO PAY! COULDN'T YOU SEE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!"
Troy just smiled as he walked towards the elevator and hit the up button. He waited as the elevator started to come. All he wanted to do now was go to his room and get some sleep for tomorrow. Maybe then he and Sharpay could finish what they had started. Troy had fallen for Sharpay. She was pretty, funny, and even nice deep down inside.
When the elevator opened its doors Troy started to walk inside. He was too busy looking at the marble floors to notice the smiling girl in front of him.
"TROY!" She yelled excitedly as she noticed who the guy looking at the floor was.
Troy looked up to see Gabriella standing in front of him with a huge smile on her face.
Well, that is all for this chapter. I don't think it was very good, but it helped me sort out the plot so I can get started on the drama that is going to happen. Thanks for reading!
