AN: Many characters will be OOC. This is a Troypay… so if you don't like them… don't read. Anyways on with the fanfic…. Just a random idea I got.
Disclaimer: No I don't own HSM… Don't sue I don't have any money to give up. I also don't own A Cinderella Story which this is slightly based off of.
Chapter 1:
Sharpay sat in her small room crying. It had been a year since her father died, and things were only getting worse. She couldn't believe that both of her parents were gone and she was stuck with Candy, a money grubbing whore who locked her in the attic.
She wiped her eyes as she grabbed her clothes out of her drawer. It was a nice Saturday afternoon and she was forced to work at the diner. She sighed as she rolled her eyes. Why did her dad let the bitch have the diner? He should have given it to someone who actually knows how to run it.
She walked downstairs and quickly made breakfast as her siblings came down joking. Raquel and Rhiannon the twins from hell were almost worse then their mother. Speaking of the devil…
"I said I don't want any of the food touching!" Candy exclaimed as she sat down at the table. "And Raquel is lactose intolerant. "No milk. How stupid are you? You should have died with your pathetic father."
Sharpay put on a smile as she grabbed the plated and walked back to the kitchen area. She was standing by the counter just looking at the food wondering how hard it would be to actually commit suicide.
"Where the hell is my grapefruit?" She heard Rhiannon and Raquel scream in unison. It was like they where the same person. It was a well known fact that they both liked the same guy at school. Troy Bolton, the star athlete. It was just the first of many things they have in common…
"Sharpay… get you little tootie patootie in here now!" Candy ordered from the other room. She was still wearing her silk nightgown and matching bathrobe. Her long black hair almost looked perfect and her icy blue eyes could kill.
Sharpay brought back everything perfectly made and waited for approval. After a few more complaints she was allowed or more like ordered to go help open the diner. It was still the same staff that had worked there when her father owned it, so at least she liked her co-workers.
"Hey there sweet cakes," Her favorite waitress, Rhonda said as she saw Sharpay walk in the door. She smiled at the teenager when she saw the glum look on her face. She hated seeing Sharpay treated horribly, but who was she to stand up to the big Candice Lionell.
"Morning," Sharpay replied absently as she grabbed her apron and put on her skates. Sharpay unlocked the door switching the sign to read open. She looked at everyone and knew all the other employees felt like she did.
"You know sweet cakes you don't have to listen to her…" Rhonda said leaning over the counter top as Sharpay sat down at one of the stools and pulled out her planner marking one day less until she got out of New Mexico and into the great Julliard.
"Yes I do, otherwise she'll use my Julliard money towards more botox or implants, or both." Sharpay replied sarcastically. She rolled her eyes as she pushed herself up skated behind the counter to stand next to Rhonda.
Rhonda smiled as she put one arm around Sharpay's shoulders for comfort. She watched as few teenagers sat down in the corner booth. She handed Sharpay a few menus and gave her a little push.
Sharpay wanted to laugh at the way they all conformed to the ideal of perfect high school students, jock, cheerleader, brown noser. She couldn't but help be just as fake as they by pretending she actually cared that they were there.
"Hey diner girl, can we all get some glasses of water to start, thank you," Gabriella mocked as she shooed Sharpay away and grabbed the menus. Everyone laughed. It was almost a ritual to come to the diner and harass diner girl. It was their favorite thing to do.
Sharpay grabbed six glasses and put one in front of each person she hated: Chad, Taylor, Kelsie, Jason, and the one and only Troy Bolton sitting in the middle of everyone. She rolled her eyes. She couldn't but help think that he was one of the most attractive guys she had ever seen.
"Can I take or order or will you need more time?"
"We are ready." Gabriella said shoving her menu back to the gut of Sharpay. "I would like the daily special, two strawberry pancakes. Can you add whip cream to that? ON second thought I don't want that. I'll have a vanilla shake and a salad. No, you can't have a salad for breakfast. Umm… I'll have to eggs sunny-side up with a side of bacon. Never mind that is too fattening. I will have plain oatmeal with a bowl of fruit."
"Yeah, what she said… Unless you're stupid to understand what she said," Taylor said throwing her menu on the ground so diner girl would have to pick it up.
Kelsie shook her head no while Zeke and Chad order everything in the kitchen but the sink. Troy was in his own world when it came time for him to order. He just looked at the table and orders a ham and cheese omelet with raisin bread toast and an orange juice. He grabbed the few menus that were on the table and handed them to the diner girl
Sharpay rolled her eyes as she skated back to the counter and stood by Rhonda, who was waiting on so elderly people sitting at the counter. Sharpay gave the cook her order and looked over at the table.
"So what do you want to go the Halloween dance as? It has to be good because we're definitely winning king and queen of the ball." Gabriella said she smiled at Troy.
"Gabriella it's over!" Troy said looking at her. He couldn't do it anymore. He couldn't be someone who he wasn't. He hated Gabriella; she was such a little… He just hated her. Why should date someone just to make himself look good.
"April Fools! Silly that is supposed to happen in April not October. Anyways… I was thinking like something sexy. I want to look good, you know?" Gabriella continued ignoring the fact that he just dumped her. He didn't mean it he was just delusional.
"I'm serious Gabriella." Troy said.
Sharpay walked over to the table carrying all of the orders barely being able to hold it all. How Chad and Jason had such an appetite was beyond her. She just delivered the food.
After they were done eating… Chad pulled out a nickel and a small packet of super glue gluing the nickel to the table. After the nickel dried, he quickly set his glass of water over it making sure none of the water slipped out. Everyone else laughed.
As everyone else got up, Troy looked at Sharpay. He pulled his own wallet out and left five dollars on the table. He smiled at her and left after his friends. He dint know why he put up with some of the shit that they pulled.
Sharpay walked over to the table and just stared at the cup. She had no choice she couldn't just leave everything there. It was the best table in the house. She pulled the glass up as water splashed her. She smiled trying not to scream in front of everyone. She could disrupt all of the other costumers' meals.
"God Damn it Sharpay! Why do you have to make such a mess?" Candy screamed as she walked in for her daily check up on the diner.
Sharpay just looked at her and grabbed the mop to clean it up. She looked at Rhonda who looked back at her apologetically. There was nothing that she could do. She was helping the other costumers. She would get fired and she couldn't afford to lose her job no matter how difficult it was.
After Candy left, Sharpay sat on a stool at the counter as her best friend Ryan can in. He was dressed as a white rapper for the day. She couldn't help but laugh at the way he looked. It was part of his love for drama to have a theme for the way he dressed everyday. He always said because you never know what part you're going to get cast in.
He patted her on the back and ordered a small sundae. They knew it was only one more year of high school. Then they could be off to Julliard. They just had to wait for they pre-acceptance letter. You get accepted officially after your audition into the program of your choice. It was going to be a long year.
