Dying Alive
Chapter 7
------------------
"Hey," Gabriella says quietly as she enters the room and closes the door behind her. "Listen," she looks timidly at Sharpay, not making eye contact. "I want to apologize for what happened. It was an accident,"
Sharpay narrows her eyes and begins to inspect her nails. Troy nudges her, making her give him a glare and then look back to Gabriella. "Apology not excepted," she replies flatly and returns to her nails.
"What she means is –" Troy is cut off by Sharpay.
"I mean for you to leave me alone forever! You did it on purpose and you've done your damage, and so you can go!" she screams at the already frightened girl. Gabriella's eyes widen, she sighs, and leaves the room as quickly as possible.
"Sharpay," Troy groans and she looks up from her nails.
"I had to do it," the girl replies with a proud smile. He rolls his eyes in return and gives her a kiss on her cheek.
"I think you'll be coming home tomorrow morning, so I'll see you then. I have to go for now," he smiles at her and quietly leaves the room. Sharpay in return, smiles and as he leaves, she begins to listen to her ipod.
The next day, Troy walks down the street and stops in front of Sharpay's house. He nocks on the large, wooden door and waits for an answer.
Ryan opens the door and smiles at him. "Sharpay is in the kitchen, go ahead," he motions him inside. Troy nods and heads into the kitchen.
"Hey Shar," he says, giving her a kiss on the lips. She smiles sweetly in return and picks up her backpack and purse.
"Bye Ry, bye mom," she says as she gets onto her crutches and struggles out of the house. Troy grabs her backpack as it slides off of her shoulder, making her loose balance. He catches her and places her up straight. She gives him a grateful smile as he slings her backpack over his shoulder.
"Be careful!" Troy warns as Sharpay almost puts one crutch on the road instead of the sidewalk. She rolls her eyes and snorts, but he still grabs the crutch and moves it a few inches in of the sidewalk. She narrows her eyes and takes the crutch again.
When they finally arrive at school, everyone stares at them as they walk through the halls, and everyone forms an even wider pathway for her. They both ignore it and stop at Sharpay's locker.
"Let me help you with that," Troy says and takes all of Sharpay's books out of her hands and she grunts again.
"I can handle it Troy," she narrows her eyes again.
"No, no. Let me," he put the books into her locker for her and closed it. He motions for her to come and they head to homeroom. When they enter, Troy takes her crutches for her as she sits down. She just rolls her eyes and looks toward the front of the room.
When homeroom is over, the two of them head to the gym for free period. As usual, Sharpay silently sat in the bleachers and watched the team practice. "Are you comfortable?" Troy asks her as she sits down. "I could go find some pillows or something,"
"Troy, I'm fine," is the harsh reply. Troy ignores it and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
"Tell me if you need ANYTHING," she rolls her eyes as he continues to faun over her. She waves him away and he joins the team for practice. Every five minutes he comes back to Sharpay to make sure she is all right.
As soon as free period is over, Troy and Sharpay head to Sharpay's locker. Troy grabs her books for her and they head to their first period.
As Sharpay sees Gabriella in the hall, she smirks, puts her good leg out, and trips Gabriella. She flies to the ground and Sharpay sneers at her. Troy gives her a "look" and they continue to their first period.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Sharpay says as her and Troy arrive at her house after school that day. He kisses her on the lips and she gives him a flirtatious smile in return. He slowly walks away, leaving Sharpay alone.
