Hey everyone! Just want to say that I think there are only going to be… TWO chapters left. Then an epilogue. Just wanted to tell you. But keep the reviews rolling in, please!

"You're going over there?" Ashlyn fell back on the couch. "What's the point?"

"I've got to make things right. I seriously have no clue what happened last night. I just want to see if everything's okay. And you know... maybe if things can... happen. Between me and Troy." I felt my face become red as I slipped on a pair of sandals and sunglasses.

"I smell puppy love." Ashlyn giggled.

"I want to smell it too." I added before shutting the front door behind me.

I ducked as a basketball hit the wall behind me then bounced down the hallway. I heard shouts coming from inside of the Wildcat's hotel room. Troy wandered into the foyer and noticed that the front door was open. And I was standing there. "Sharpay?" his eyes were wide.

"You left in a hurry last night." I looked around the foyer to see clothes draped everywhere. "Where's Zeke? Are you okay? I mean... after the frisbee thing and..." Chad came from the back hallway, holding a rumpled piece of paper in his hands. He urgently whispered something to Troy before he took my hand.

"We're going for a walk." Troy called over his shoulder.

"Okay... it's time to tell me what's going on." I stopped at the shore of the beach. Troy let go of my hand and stuffed it into the pocket of his board shorts. He looked down at the sand. "Troy?... what's happening?"

"Zeke left." Troy sighed. "He left like, early this morning. Really early this morning. Said that a real friend wouldn't do that. Sharpay, Zeke knew about us. He knew everything. The balcony... the pier..." he blushed. "Ashlyn told him."

"So?" I shrugged. "I told you we broke up. What, you don't believe me?" I looked up at him in shock.

A silence trickled in. Unwelcomed waves crashed against the shore. That same breeze from the afternoon on the pier came back. Those same feelings of excitement and curiosity revisited. But right then... wasn't the right time. "Troy?" I asked, crinkling my eyebrows. "You... think that I cheated on Zeke?" I took the extra silence as a 'yes'.

"Sharpay..." I turned my face away and squeezed my eyes shut, preparing for the worst. "Zeke's a really good friend of mine. And he took a plane home. Because of us. What else am I supposed to think?"

"You're supposed to believe me." my voice quivered. "I'm telling the truth. I... I really do like you Troy." I shook my head. "I thought that my social status wouldn't matter to you. You gave Gabriella a chance... what about me?"

"It's not that, Sharpay. It's Zeke. He still likes you. And I just can't do this to him." he took a slow step back from me, his sandals filling with ocean water as another break came in.

"Way to back out, Bolton." I crossed my arms over my chest as my anger bubbled just under my surface. My skin tingled with fury. "I thought you were brave. But I guess not. You're..." I stomped my foot. "You're just a coward!" Before I knew it, my hands were on his shoulders, pushing him back. Hetumbled into the aqua blueof the Hamptons beach.

Another break rolled in as he sat there in shock, going right over his head. I shook. And cried. So angry at myself, but furious with Troy Bolton.

I turned my heel. And hastened home.

"Sharpay..." Ashlyn opened her arms when she saw me crying. Ashlyn had only see me cry once, and that was because I sat on my favorite pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses when I was six. "I guess it didn't blow over well." she sighed and patted my back.

I buried my face in her shoulder, smudging my mascara and ruining her white Louis Vuitton hoodie. But she's an heiress. She can always have Lou make her another one.

She ushered me over to the couch and went back to the kitchen. "I have just the thing." she came back with a new carton of strawberry sorbet, my favorite, and two spoons. She turned on the television to "Degrassi" and we drowned our sorrows in ice cream. By the end of that thirty minute episode, I felt a little better. Because I knew that I would never be impregnated by a guy as dorky as JT Yorke.

Sorry this chapter was SLOW! I've changed my mind about only two chapters. Maybe... three? PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
