Note: Sorry it's been a while since I updated. I've been busy with school and such. I won't be able to update very often until Spring Break. That is the first week a April, so there's still almost a month until then.

Dying Alive
Chapter 5
------------------
Dear Diary,
Sharpay is pure evil! I know exactly how to finish her off, and she'll never bug me again! I'll make the whole school and Troy hate her! I'll record her saying different things, and change it to saying she loves Chad with all her heart and give it to Troy. And I'll do one where it'll say horrible things against the school and everyone in it and put it on the intercom.
Sharpay reads the entry over and over, her mouth wide open. She looks at the picture she has in her hand again. It is a picture of her, but it had been crossed out many times with pen, marker, crayon, and punctured many times. Fuming, she slams the diary shut and throws the picture away.
The next day at school, Sharpay shoves her books into her locker, still mad about the entry. Troy walks up to her with a frown on his face. As she sees him, she smiles slightly, but it changes to confused when she sees his expression. Before either of them can say a word, the intercom beeps and the school's president's voice is heard.
"A student recorded one of our fellow students saying something horrible, and I'm sure you'd all like to hear," she says.
Sharpay's voice is then heard saying, "East High sucks! All of the students are jerks and idiots. If I were a teacher, I would fail them all and if I were principal , I'd close this school! Also, Chad is so hot! He's a better basketball player than Troy and so much hotter. He's nicer, and a better kisser! Troy is a stupid idiot"
The intercom is turned off and everyone glares at Sharpay. She glares at them in return and turns back to Troy.
"What is with this tape!" Troy demands throwing a tape at her. She jumps in surprise at having something thrown at her. Giving him a confused look, she puts the tape into her boom box she has in her locker. She presses play and it begins in Sharpay's voice: "Chad is so hot! He's a better basketball player than Troy and so much hotter. He's nicer, and a better kisser! Troy is a stupid idiot,"
As the tape stops, Sharpay gasps, "I didn't say that!" she protests, taking the tape out and throwing it on the ground. Looking around, she spots Gabriella and scowls. "Gabriella did this!" she insists.
"Yeah, right," Troy replies, "Like Gabriella would do anything like this," he gives her a disgusted look.
"But!" she whines in reply. Troy walks away, leaving Sharpay alone. She slams her locker and walks over to Gabriella. "You monster!" she yells.
Gabriella just laughs in reply, "What?" She raises an eyebrow. "No one will believe you," she insists.
"Yes they will!" Sharpay replies. She pulls a random girl over to them. "Gabriella made that tape saying I hate the school and everyone in it and also one about how I love Chad, right? I didn't do it, it was her!"
"Yeah, right," the girl replies with a raised eyebrow. "You're the one who said it, jerk!" she scowls at her and walks away.
But!" Sharpay's mouth drops open as she sees that she's all alone. Raging, she turns back to Gabriella, but she's not there. "Ugh!" she yells and storms down to homeroom.
During history class, Sharpay walks over to Gabriella's table. "Jerk," she whispers, but Gabriella doesn't even look up.
"So, about our project," Sharpay begins as she continues taking over the project. "We'll meet at your house again tonight and it's due tomorrow, so we have to finish tonight," Gabriella just nods in reply and they continue working until the bell rings.
Sharpay hurries to Troy's locker and finds him just opening it. Taking a deep breath, tucking her hair behind her ears, and letting the breath out again, she starts walking toward him. "Troy," she begins and he looks up at her. "Please, listen to me," she pleads. "You know I love you, not Chad. I found Gabriella's diary and stole it," she confesses.
Troy gives her another disgusted look and waits for her to finish. "But that means I have proof that she made those tapes. I love you, and I wouldn't ever want to hurt you! Please believe me!"
Troy sighs and runs his hand through his hair. "Show it to me," she replies with a small smile. Sharpay squeals in delight and takes the diary out of her purse. She shows him the entry and the picture. He gasps and shakes his head sadly. "I'm so sorry, it's just Gabriella…I thought…"
Sharpay laughs, "It's ok, I couldn't believe it either, and now we need to show this to the entire school," Troy raises an eyebrow and she laughs. "I don't want the whole school hating me and that's the only way to do it," he shrugs in reply and he grabs his backpack.
"Why did you steal her diary in the first place?" Troy questions her.
"I don't know," she replies with an innocent shrug. Troy chuckles, rolls his eyes, closes his locker, and they head to Sharpay's locker. She grabs her backpack and they head to Gabriella's house, hand in hand.
They arrive at Gabriella's house and they both take a deep breath. "Well, good luck," Troy says, giving Sharpay a kiss on the cheek. She gives him a weak smile in reply and rings the doorbell. Gabriella opens it and Sharpay walks in casually. She looks out the door, but Troy is already gone. She sighs softly and heads up to Gabriella's room, Gabriella at her heels.
"You're doing it wrong!" "Do you know how to do anything?" "Don't be an idiot!" "Don't be so stupid!" Sharpay criticized the entire time, even more than before, because she had motivation from what Gabriella had done.
"Thank goodness we're done," Sharpay sighs in relief as they finish the project. "See ya!" she says in anger. Grabbing her purse, she heads outside, and to her house.
Saturday finally comes and Sharpay wakes up to her alarm. After turning it off she jumps out of bed. She puts on a light blue shirt on, silver shrug, and jeans. Slipping on a pair of blue, slipper like shoes, she hums "What I've Been Looking For". Grabbing a silver purse, she hurries out of her room, down stairs, and into the kitchen.
"Hey Shar," Ryan greets warmly and she smiles in reply. After finishing breakfast, she waits by the front door for Troy. She finally hears the doorbell and opens the door.
"Hey Troy!" she greets him happily.
"Hey Sharpay," he replies, giving her a kiss on the lips. She smiles in return, takes his hand, steps outside, and closes the door behind her. They both head down the street, hand in hand.
