"So are you ready for a day of fun?" Troy asked once he and Sharpay were walking towards his house.
"Of course I am…so what are we doing?" Sharpay asked.
"I told you. You'll find out once we get there." He said taking her hands. She had them stuffed into the pockets of her white jacket. She also had on a white tank top underneath and pink sweatpants on that were pushed up to the knee with sneakers in. Her hair was straight and into a ponytail and she looked extra cute. She smiled at him and he smiled back. "I'm not going to tell you."
"Please?" Sharpay asked as he shook his head. "Fine. I'll race you there."
"Where?" Troy asked.
"Go!" Sharpay said and she took off. Troy was surprised, she was pretty fast. She made it to his house without breaking a sweat and was barely breathing heavily when he got there about 10 seconds after her.
"Wow, you're fast." Troy said, catching his breath.
"I run. A lot. So now tell me." She said and smiled excitedly.
"Okay well, today is going to be a sports day since next weekend you choose what we do." Troy said. He laughed when Sharpay clapped her hands excitedly.
"What sports are we gonna do? Besides basketball." She said giving him a knowing glare.
"Whatever you want to play, it doesn't bother me."
"Okay lets get started, this way, I can beat you quicker." Sharpay said and Troy lead her to his backyard. He grabbed a basketball and tossed it to Sharpay. She caught it and bounced it once. Then, she picked it up and spun it around on her middle finger. "One-on-one?"
"Yes ma'am." Troy said as he and Sharpay got into position. Then, Sharpay dribbled past him and scored a goal, also catching the rebound. "Tell me when you're ready to play." Sharpay said, giving him a 'ha-ha' smirk.
"Ready darling" Troy said and stole the ball from Sharpay, also making a goal. "Coach said to fake right, brake left." He said and they both laughed.
After an hour, the game was finished. Troy beat Sharpay by two points. "Good game." Troy said and he gave her a hug.
"Thanks, You too." Sharpay said and smiled. "I think we should play soccer next. And I know I can beat you. I still play."
"Oh yeah. I remember, you played way back when. You were good." Troy said and got a soccer ball. "Let's go."
Sharpay won this game by 5 points. "Good try Bolton. Better luck next time!"
"Thanks Shar." Troy said, pretending to be sad.
"I'm sorry sweetie." Sharpay said, acting sorry. She went over to him and gave him a hug. But when she gave him a hug, Troy ended up tickling heruntil she called 'mercy!'.
"Troy! Come on in for lunch! And bring your friend with you!" His mom called from the door. Troy had told his mother earlier today that his girlfriend was coming over so they could spend the day together. She knew it was Sharpay but she didn't want to say anything.
"Oh! What'd your mom make?" Sharpay asked as she grabbed Troy's hand and they walked up to his house together.
"I don't know actually." Troy said and shrugged. He wondered if his dad was home. He hadn't really approved of his last girlfriend Gabriella but his dad liked Sharpay so he would most likely approve.
"Hey Troy, hey Sharpay!" Mrs. Bolton said when they walked in, feigning surprise at seeing Sharpay.
"Hi Mrs. Bolton." Sharpay said and went to hug her. "Oh, hey Mr. Bolton!" Sharpay said and went over to give a surprised Jack Bolton a hug.
"Umm…hey Sharpay. Hello Troy, I have to talk with you about something." His father said in a calm voice.
"Ok, I'll be right back Shar." Troy said, watching as Sharpay and his mom talked and finished making the meal. "What's up dad?" Troy asked as soon as they were out of ear shot.
"Since when have you and Sharpay been dating?" He asked.
"Uh…not too long, why?" He asked.
"Because if having a girlfriend is going to cause you to lose focus you need to end it."
"But dad, I've known Sharpay since I was in diapers, literally. She's not like any other girl. I really like her. but I won't lose focus. So don't worry." Troy said.
"You really like her don't you?"
"Yes, dad, I really, really do."
"Fine, I approve. But make sure that your head is in the game and not in the clouds. Got it?"
"Yes sir! Thanks dad." Troy said and walked back into the kitchen, sitting by Sharpay and taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Today was really fun. Thanks Troy." Sharpay said as they stopped at her door.
"Anything for you Shar. And I mean it. I love you." Troy said.
"Troy, thank you. I love you too. I really do." She said and for a moment, he saw the girl back in eight grade, the one he first fell in love with. She was sweet, funny, witty, smart, caring, loving, and beautiful. He didn't see the Ice Queen he saw less than a month ago. He saw a more mature version of his first and only true love.
"Good night Sharpay." Troy said, giving her a kiss. Sharpay kissed him back, deepening the kiss but they stopped about 10 seconds later.
"Good night Troy, sweet dreams." Sharpay said and walked inside her house. She leaned against the door and slid down to the floor, a goofy smile on her face. She was truly in love with Troy Bolton again and this time, he loved her back.
On Monday, word was spread about all the new couples. Ryan had snagged Gabriella from Troy, Sharpay had snagged Troy, and of course, Taylor and Chad and Kelsi and Jason weren't really new so they weren't as concentrated on. That afternoon, Troy, Chad, and Jason had basketball practice so the rest of their friends decided to stay and watch them.
"Oh, wow, this gym brings back a ton of memories." Taylor said when they walked in.
"Yeah. We're all in this together!" Gabi sang and they did a part of the dance.
Seeing Troy walk into the gym, the entire team behind him, Ryan decided to embarrass him and Sharpay. "Doesn't this bring back memories of first kisses Shar?" Ryan said. He was excellent at projection so it wasn't difficult for the basketball team to hear him.
Sharpay turned beet red and the team watched as Troy turned slightly redder than normal. Everyone in the gym laughed at them.
"Ryan you are so dead!" Sharpay said in a singsong voice.
"Why, don't you love the excellent memories?" Ryan said. "OW!" He said when a basketball hit him on the back of the head. "Thanks Troy."
"Anytime." Troy said and shrugged.
"Do I want to know?" Gabi asked although she had an inkling.
"Of course you do." Kelsi said. She, Taylor, and Ryan knew the whole story.
"Okay, truth or dare. Uhh…Sharpay." Ryan said. They were in the high school gym for a lock-in and Ryan, Sharpay, Troy, Chad, Kelsi, Jason, and Taylor were sitting in a corner while everyone else was asleep.
"Okay, dare." Sharpay said.
"Oh, Ryan, make it good." Taylor said. She, Kelsi, Ryan, and Chad exchanged looks. They all knew what was about to happen.
"Okay, Sharpay. I dare you and Troy to go behind the bleachers for 7 minutes." Ryan said. Sharpay and Troy looked embarrassed while everyone gave Ryan looks of approval.
"Fine." Troy and Sharpay said at the same time.
As they walked behind the bleachers, everyone gave Ryan high fives. "Good job." Chad said and Ryan simply replied with an "I know."
They watched as Troy and Sharpay stood awkwardly and then began to talk, Troy obviously spilling something embarrassing, causing Sharpay to do the same thing and resulting in them sharing their first kiss, thinking no one saw them. Of course, they weren't well hidden and their best friends could see it all. When they saw that 7 minutes was up, they called out their names in a whisper, audible enough for Sharpay and Troy jump apart from their kiss and walk back awkwardly. Their friends were successful in holding back their laughter but Troy and Sharpay had a feeling they saw something.
"No way! Oh-la-la!" Gabi exclaimed. "Hey Troy! Truth or dare?" Gabi called out, causing Jason and Chad to laugh at the memory and at Troy's reaction.
"I am so going to kill Ryan. Like, if he isn't there tomorrow, you'll know why." Sharpay said as she and Troy were walking home.
"I remember that too. Wow…that was way long ago. And I didn't know they saw it either." Troy said.
"Me either. But I kinda guessed when they looked like they were about to spaz from trying not to laugh when we joined the group again." Sharpay said.
"Oh well. All's well that ends well. And that kiss has obviously ended well." Troy said.
"Why, but of course. And for once, everyone's happy. How much better could life get?" Sharpay asked, not knowing that right now was about as happy as she would be in the next week.
"Hey Gabi." Troy said when he walked into school that morning. Sharpay had to help with something for drama club so Troy and Gabi came early with them and decided to hang out for the morning.
"Hey Troy." Gabi said. She walked up to her locker and the note from last year came out. It was the one where Troy had asked her to meet him at his secret spot. "Oh wow. I can't believe I have this. Those were good times." She said sadly.
"And times aren't good now?" Troy asked.
"Of course they are…it's just that, well, I'm confused." Gabi said.
"Why?" Troy asked.
"Well, I love Ryan, I really do, I love him with all of my heart, it's just, I don't know if I like you too." She said the last part quietly but Troy had heard it.
"But Gabi-"
"I don't know why either. But I feel like I'm cheating on Ryan." Gabi said.
"But Gabi-"
"I need to clear things up." Gabi said and kissed Troy. The fireworks were gone. The magic was lost. It was nothing like kissing Ryan. There she felt the magic, she saw the fireworks. But with Troy nothing.
Then, Troy heard the sounds of heels running away from them very quickly. The moment her heard them he knew-Sharpay had seen everything.
