To monica9455: Sorry, but there is no way I will every change this to a troyella

To Zanessa Fan: Yeah, she is kind of mean to Gabriella, but that's the kind of person she is.

To Milenka: Sorry, but I won't put Troy and Gabriella together. And please don't swear in your reviews. I know you aren't trying to offend anyone, but please, just don't.

To RedRomance: Again, please don't swear, and I know Sharpay is very mean. I don't hate Gabriella, but I totally dislike her with Troy in fanfiction. It's great in the movie, but not in fanfiction. So that's why I make Sharpay really mean to Gabriella.

To hopping-bunny: Yes, this is going to be Troypay until the end.

I don't mean to offend any of you that I mentioned above. I don't mean any of that stuff in a bad way. Thanks to ALL of you guys for the reviews!

I'm sorry I haven't updated, but I've been really busy. Also, I'm going to start switching off now and then on whom that chapter is about. This one is about Sharpay, and the next will be about what Troy did while Sharpay did all of this.

Dying Alive

Chapter 9

Sharpay

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

On the Monday after Sharpay gets her cast off, she strolls down the school hallway, her curled hair bouncing up and down. Her faded jeans and her shirt cling to her legs tightly as she continues along.

"Hey Sharpay! Let me get that for you," Troy opens Sharpay's locker for her, getting a glare in return.

"Troy, I'm not a baby, you don't have to do this," she retorts.

"What are you talking about?" Troy replied, putting his hands in the air, questioningly.

"You don't have to act like this. You've been treating me like I can't do anything anymore! I don't even have my cast on anymore, and you're still treating me like this! I'm the same Sharpay! I'm strong, not a weak baby!" she screams, getting louder with every word.

"Shar, calm down," Troy says, a bit angry himself.

"Calm down? Calm down?" she screams in reply as she slams her locker shut. "Don't tell me to calm down!"

"What's with you?" Troy demands. "Never mind…I don't want to know. You know what? We're through!" he stalks off angrily, leaving Sharpay shocked.

"Did he just dump me?" she whispers to herself. The devastated girl leans against her locker and slides down to the ground. "I can't believe it…" she stays like that for a moment, and then stands up. After brushing off her jeans, she heads down the hall to homeroom.

Ryan and I'll go back to how it used to be Sharpay tells herself at the end of the day. She slowly walks home and when she gets there, she heads to Ryan's room. When she opens the door, she sees Ryan and Kelsi sitting on Ryan's bed. Sharpay gasps, turns around, and runs into her room, sobbing. Ryan runs after her and sits next to Sharpay on her bed. He gently touches her back.

"Shar, what's wrong?" he asks.

"Everything!" Sharpay sobs in reply, " Troy broke up with me!"

Ryan nods in understanding. "Do you want to hand out with Kelsi and me?" he asks.

"Ok, but give me a second to fix my appearance," Ryan nods and leaves the room.

Sharpay starts to sing," I entrusted my heart to you

Thought you'd take care of it

I told you everything

Including…

That I love you

Oh, yes it's true

I thought you were the one

The one who would help me up

You'd be there for me

No matter what

But I was wrong

You aren't the one

Not ever or now

You left me

When I needed you

You abandoned me

Left me in the cold

Left me defenseless

Helpless

All by myself

But I was wrong

You told me you loved me

I believed you

But if that could possibly be true

You'd stay by my side

All the days through

All the days through!

I thought you were the one

The one who would help me up

You'd be there for me

No matter what

But I was wrong

You aren't the one

Not ever or now

You left me

When I needed you

You abandoned me

Left me in the cold

Left me defenseless

Helpless

All by myself

But I was wrong

You told me a lot of things

Many that are now hard to believe

You loved me

Yeah, right

You were dedicated to me

Yeah, right

You cared for no one else

Yeah, right

How can this be true?

I thought you were the one

The one who would help me up

You'd be there for me

No matter what

But I was wrong

You aren't the one

Not ever or now

You left me

When I needed you

You abandoned me

Left me in the cold

Left me defenseless

Helpless

All by myself

But I was wrong…

But I…was…wrong,"

Sharpay smirks silently as she gets up and opens her window. She looks behind her shoulder, partly to make sure no one is watching, and partly because she's not sure if she's doing the right thing. She shakes the feeling off.

"Perfect," she whispers to herself as she flings a ladder down the side of the house, climbs out of the window, and starts climbing down. When she reaches the bottom she runs as fast as she can, not knowing where. She soon stops and realizes that she is in a wide-open field. She smiles to herself, glad to be free from evil things. She lies down in the field, surrounded by beautiful flowers and tall grass. She laughs silently to herself, enjoying every moment of it.

"Oh, Troy," a girl giggles happily and Sharpay stands up and flings her head toward the voice.

"Oh…my…gosh…" Sharpay stammers helplessly. Her mouth drops as she gazes at Troy and another girl.

Troy chuckles and puts his arm around the girl's shoulders. "Isn't today great?"

"The greatest," the girl replies happily, while Sharpay sulks against the back of a tree, tears streaming down her cheeks.
