Thanks for telling me what the rite age is:) Now, will Sharpay's relationship last?
I'm finally done explaining my problematic past to you! Now let's go on with our lives and pretend that the rest of my life will be full of fluffy clouds, butterflies, and rainbows! But seriously, that's not the case. Do you want to know another thing? I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate that…that freaky I'm-a-female-version-of-Einstein girl! Gabriella Montez…blech. Just thinking about her little "goody two shoes" reputation makes me sick.

Gabriella is the new girl this year. And you know what? I think she likes Troy, and I even think Troy likes her back! The traitor...Troy is supposed to be mine! I was crushed today, anyways. Okay, Troy came over yesterday, and that was the day before the first day of tenth grade. So we were talking.

"Troy, I'm sorry for being so hard on you when I said I didn't want to be with you anymore," I said. "I only said that because I was confused. My emotions were pretty screwed then, probably because I was depressed since my mom died. But really, I never stopped loving you! Do you think we can start over?" I was hoping and hoping that Troy would agree.

He looked at me with a smile in his eyes. "I never stopped loving you either, Sharpay." I smiled at him. "I think we can start over, too."

Then his cell rang and he said he had to get home. You know his dad, he wanted Troy to get home to start practicing basketball again. He kissed me as he left. I mean, like, KISSED ME kissed me. On the lips, passionately, if I do say so myself. I gratefully returned it. Then, he left me to dream about his extreme hotness for the rest of the day.

Doesn't that seem like a guy wanted to be my boyfriend again? Boy, was I mistaking.

The next day, I see him hanging around this other girl! He was showing her around the school, giving her sexy looks, and looking like he was enjoying himself! At the time, I didn't know about Gabriella yet. I was merrily prancing around with this adorable little teddy bear wearing a red and white jersey (The Wildcat colors!) holding a basketball behind my back. I was going to give it to him as a present.

I turned the corner of the main hallway, but stopped abruptly. I saw Troy walking with Gabriella. What the hell?

"I missed you, Troy," she was saying. "And I almost forgot to call you during break!" Wait a second, how did she know his number? Am I missing something here?

Troy was laughing along with her. "It's a miracle how you came to East High! I never thought I would see you again!"

"Me either." What's going on…?

i was about to pop out and hand him the bear, telling that Montez girl who was REALLY Troy's girl, when something happened. I wasn't expecting it in the least. Troy and Gabriella were just talking, when all of a sudden, they were leaning in towards each other. Then they kissed.

WHAT THE FUDGE?

How could he…how could he cheat on me? Why would he cheat on me?

I ran to the girls' bathroom, thankful that it was vacant, the bear still in my hands. I paced back and forth in front of the mirror, muttering to myself.

"What was he thinking?" I nearly shrieked. "How could he do that to me? I thought…I thought he loved me…" Pace, pace, pace. Mutter, mutter, mutter.

I glanced down at the stuffed bear I was holding. It stared back…mocking me…telling me I was such a loser to think that Troy could love me. I whimpered in anger and stuffed that insolent creature in the trash can, tears gathering in my eyes. I rubbed them away and stalked haughtily out of there, acting as if nothing had happened. I had to win Troy back, but not at the moment.

You know that feeling when you know you're about to cry, and it hurts? Like, there's a burning sensation in your heart? I was stuck with that feeling for the rest of the day.

My snobby mask was brought back up, and I was once again crowned the Ice Queen. It was all so sudden, wasn't it?

After a long, painful day at school, I got home and went into my room, more depressed than ever. The first thing I saw was my pink bear, given to me by none other than Troy Bolton. I grabbed it and thrust it under my bed.

"WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE ME?" I screamed. I crossed my arms and sat on my bed. I tried to burn a hole in the wall with my eyes, but only succeeded in drowning everything with tears. That night was one that I cried myself to sleep.

I've tried every ritual known to man or womankind to try and get Troy and me back together. Nothing has worked yet. It's been months since Troy and Gabriella have gotten together. Troy had broken up with me the day after I saw them. I was devastated, as you can probably imagine. Yeah, he added the "Let's just be friends" speech.

I was then broken out of my thoughts when the front door slammed. It was Ryan, and boy, he wasn't such a sight for sore eyes. If you looked at him, it would be a sight that would MAKE you have sore eyes.

He laughed. "Hellooo, Sharpay…" he said. I noticed he had a giddy expression on his face and he was slurring his words. I ran over to him.

"Oh shit, Ryan. Are you drunk?" I shot at him.

"Why, as a matter of fact…I am." He stumbled over to the couch and sat down heavily. "And it feels mighty fine, too…"

"You must be kidding… Ryan, did you do anything stupid?" No answer. Soon, I got pissed off that he was being an ass and not answering my simple question. I slapped him on the arm. "RYAN, I SAID, DID YOU DO ANYTHING STUPID?" I yelled.

He looked at me with a freaky smile. "Gabriella…" he mumbled before falling asleep.

Did he do what I think he did with her?
