Sharpay saw Troy waiting for her at the end of school.
"Are we leaving right now?"
"Well if we do I won't be able to fall asleep again."
"Okay let's go." She laughed. They went out to eat and ice skating. They were walking to the movies when Troy pulled her toward him and kissed her. They pulled apart.
"I love you." When Sharpay heard those words she felt as if someone had punched her repeatedly in the stomach.
"You okay you look pale."
"I'm fine. Actually I'm not. Can you take me home?"
"Okay let's go get the car." They walked in silence, but on the inside Sharpay couldn't hear anything but the words he had said. I love you, he said he loved me. My dad said that to mom now look how they turned out. What if he treats me like that, she thought.
When they got into the car they drove home in silence also. He let her out of the car in front of her house. "Bye see you tomorrow." He leaned in to kiss her but she just turned her head. "What is wrong with you? Don't say nothing because I know something is wrong."
"You said you loved me. My dad said that to Mom, Ryan and me and look what happened to us were alone now. We only have each other."
"Don't you know me better than that?" he hesitated, "I mean you've been crushing on me since kindergarten."
"What?" she asked shyly.
"You didn't think I noticed you staring at me all the time. Did you?"
"Actually, No" they both laughed. "You're right I should have known better."
"Well see you tomorrow."
"Yeah see you." She turned to go toward the house.
"Oh my gosh I don't get a goodbye kiss?"
"Fine you can have your good bye kiss." He kissed her first lightly then deeper. They were in their own world.
