Dying Alive

Chapter 4

------------------

"Mr. Evans, time-" Mrs. Darbous is cut off.

"I know, I know," Ryan replies, walking down the isle.

"What are you doing?" Sharpay demands her twin.

"Come on Sharpay," he answers and then turns to Mrs. Darbous, "Please, see if you think Troy is better singing with Sharpay or if I am,"

"All right," she replies with a sigh and sits back down.

"Please Sharpay," Ryan pleads, extending his hand to her. She sighs and takes his hand. He pulls her up and they head on stage.

"Do you know the song and dance?" she asks, hands on her hip, tapping the ground with her toe.

"I've watched every one of your practices her replied with a bit of shame in his voice. She just smirks back at him and starts counting.

"1…2…3…ready…set…go!" she yells and the music begins. The curtains go up, and they begin singing.

After they are done, everyone applauds, but Troy looks worried. Sharpay sits down next to him and holds his hand. He squeezes her hand, and she smiles at him.

"Mr. Evans," Mrs. Darbous begins and Troy's heart skips a beat, "I think you can have a smaller part without a partner. Mr. Bolten, you're with Mrs. Evans," she walks out and Sharpay gives Ryan an encouraging look. She then smiles at Troy and they head out of the theater together.

"So, when is your party again?" Troy asks Sharpay on Friday, after school.

"On my birthday," Sharpay replies, annoyed. He gives her a blank look and she rolls her eyes. "Tomorrow!" she yells.

"Right, I knew that," he smiles at her and kisses her cheek. I'll see you later!" he calls as he walks away.

"Can Taylor come to you party?" Ryan asks, walking into Sharpay's room later that day.

"Why?" she asks, disgusted with the idea.

"She's my girlfriend," he replies mater of factly.

"Since when?" she gives him a glare and stands up off of her bed, staring into his eyes.

"Since a few weeks ago,"

"Why didn't you tell me!"

"I don't know, but anyway, can she?"

"Then does Gabriella have to come too?" she asks. Ryan nods and Sharpay sighs. "All right, but get out of my room!" Ryan just smiles and does so.

At the party, Sharpay wears a light pink skirt, a lavender shirt, a pink shrug, and silver shoes full of sparkles. Her hair is straightened and she has a light layer of makeup on.

Troy arrives and gapes at her. She just smiles back at him and takes his hand. She leads him to the dance floor and they start dancing. Soon, it comes to a slow song and Sharpay sees Gabriella. She panics and tries to distract Troy.

"Uh, Troy, look at me," she says and he looks at her, confused.

After a while, she leaves Troy to get some punch. When she returns, he's dancing with Gabriella. She gasps and walks up to them.

"Evaporate, evil person!" she yells at Gabriella and they both gasp. When they don't do anything, Sharpay pours her punch down the front of Gabriella's dress. She screams and runs out of the house. Sharpay smirks at her and yells, "Toodles!" after her. She chuckles and turns back to Rya.

He frowns at her. "What was that about?" he yells.

"Well, why were you dancing with her?" she asks.

"I felt sorry for her. You still didn't need to do that!" Sharpay just glares back at him, but he sees the pain behind it. "I'm sorry, Shar, I didn't mean to hurt you by doing it," he hugs her and they slow dance again.

After everyone is gone, Troy gets on one knee in front of Sharpay, opens a small box, and extends it to her.

"Oh Troy!" she exclaims, picking up the gold necklace. "It's wonderful!" she hugs him and gives him a peck on the cheek. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome," he replies, hugging her back.

They turn on the music and begin dancing. Sharpay's skirt brushing her legs and her shoes clicking softly on the floor. She puts her arms around his neck and he puts his on her waist. They slow dance for a while and then they stop.

"I'll see you later," Troy says as he walks out the door and is gone.

Soon the night of the musical came. As Gabriella passes Sharpay and Troy, Sharpay walks in front of Troy. Troy is even more suspicious about hiding him from Gabriella.

"That's it Sharpay! Tell me what your problem is!" Troy yells at her, "You've been hiding me from Gabriella, I figured that out. So what's the deal?"

Sharpay sighs, "I saw the sheet of music for "Breakin' Free", and I was worried that you were going to go back to her," tears form I her eyes and she looks away.

"Oh, Sharpay, that's not going to happen," he turns her face to look at him. He pauses before continuing, "Because I love you," She stares at him, wide eyed and he pulls her into a kiss. It lasts ten seconds and then they pull apart.

"I love you too," Sharpay murmurs and she puts her arms on his neck. He puts his hands on her waist and they kiss again. It lasts a whole minute, and by then Kelsey had come to tell them that the musical was to start soon. As they break apart, they blush at Kelsey and head out on stage.

After the show, Troy and Sharpay walk outside together, hand in hand.

"So I'll pick you up at seven for the dance next week?" Troy asks and Sharpay nods. They kiss once more and they both head to their homes.

The night of the dance comes, and Sharpay waits by the door, waiting to b picked up by Troy. Soon, he's at the door, gaping at her. She has on a long, lavender dress that goes almost to the floor, white sandals, and her hair is slightly curled.

"You look wonderful," he comments.

"I know," she replies, closing the door behind her. She stares at what she sees.

"A limo!" she shrieks, "Thank you!" She hugs troy, giving him a peck on the lips. The chauffeur opens the door and they get in. They soon arrive at East High and get out of the limp. They go inside and begin to dance. It comes to a slow song, and in the middle of it, they kiss. They pull apart and gaze into each other's eyes. They then dive in for another, long kiss. They let go and continue to dance. Sharpay lays her head on Troy's shoulder, smiling softly. The dance ends too soon than they wish, and they get into the limo.

Sharpay falls asleep, her head resting on Troy's shoulder. He smiles at the sleeping girl and leans his head on hers. They soon arrive at her house and he wakes her up. He takes her hand and they get out. They kiss outside of the house and then he leaves. She watches the limo drive off and then goes inside. She sits on her bed, thinking about the wonderful night. Gabriella hadn't even been there.

"Ryan!" someone giggles from across the hall. Sharpay gets up and heads across the hall to Ryan's room. She sees Ryan tickling Taylor and Gabriella sitting next to them.

"Hey Shar," Ryan says, smiling at his twin. She gives him a fake smile and then pulls him out for the room by his ear. "Ow!" he yells at her.

"What are they doing here?"

"Hanging out,"

"Get them out!" she walks back into her room and slams the door. She still hears giggles a few minutes later, and she goes in, takes Gabriella by the ear, pulls her out of the house, shouts at her, "Evaporate ugly person!", and slams the door. She walks back u the stairs and Ryan and Taylor are silent. "What?" she asks innocently and slams her own door.

"Hey Troy," Sharpay greets happily at lunch that Monday.

"Hey Shar," he replies, sitting down. "I heard what you did to Gabriella," he says, pointing to her with his eyes. She is sitting next to the giggling Ryan and Taylor. She plays with her good and then she puts her head on her hand, elbow on the table. Her beautiful, brown hair falls on her arm. She soon stands up and walks over to throw her food away, her blue skirt swishing. She sighs as she sits down.

"What about it?" Sharpay asks casually.

"It was mean," he replies.

"So?" she answers. Troy just sighs and continues to eat his lunch.

"Do you want to go for a walk and go ear or something this weekend?" Troy asks after a while.

"Sure," Sharpay replies. She picks up her bag and throws it away. She then takes Troy's hand and they head to their next class.

During last period, Sharpay has History, and they need to pair up for a project. She looks around the room, but everyone but Gabriella has a partner. She sighs and walks over to her.

"We'll meet at your house after school today," She says simply and Gabriella just nods. Sharpay starts taking control of the project, telling Gabriella to boy all of the supplies. At the end of class, she fives Gabriella a fake smile, "Toodles," she calls, walking away. She waits outside the school for Troy. He finally comes and she takes his hand.

"I'm stuck with Gabriella for a project in history class," she whines.

"it'll be ok," Troy says as they arrive at Gabriella's house. He kisses her cheek and walks away. She rings the doorbell and Gabriella opens it.

"Hey," Sharpay says, not looking at her. She walks in casually and stares at the room in disgust. "You actually live in this horse stall?" she asks. Gabriella just sighs and they head to her room.

"You sleep in this pig pen?" Sharpay remarks when they get into her room. They work on the project, Sharpay criticizing the whole time.

"I see where you get your looks," she remarks to Gabriella as she sees her mother.

"Thanks," Gabriella replies quietly.

"I didn't say good looks," Sharpay chuckles and they continue working.

"What ugly clothes!" Sharpay remarks, looking in Gabriella's closet. "Horrid makeup!" "Stupid CDs!" "Weird posters!" That's your bed?" "Too many boring books," she criticizes the entire time.

Gabriella leaves for a moment and Sharpay searches the room. She finds a diary and puts it in her pure. She smirks as Gabriella comes back. "Look at the time! I have to go! Toodles!" she runs out of the house and to her own.

She goes into her bedroom and opens the journal. She flips threw it, reading some of the entries.

Dear Diary,

I sand with Troy in the musical today! It felt like magic!

Dear Diary,

Troy has been ignore me, we need to talk about it.

Dear Diary,

Troy dumped me!

Dear Diary,

Why does Sharpay hate me?

She chuckles to herself as she reads it. She puts it away and checks her email. She finds one from Troy and clicks on. It pops up, reading:

Hey Sharpay,

How about I pick you up to hang out at 12 on Saturday?

Love,

Troy

She smiles to herself and writes back:

Dear Troy,

12 on Saturday sound great! See you later!

Love,

Sharpay

She opens the diary again. The page she has opened to has a photo in it. She freezes as she sees the photo and reds the entry. "Oh…my…gosh…"
