Ya Got Trouble

Sharpay dropped her lunch tray and sat, emitting a loud sigh. No one at the table was talking, each one picking at his or her food delicately, waiting for someone else to start the conversation.

Everyone knew Sharpay was sabotaging The Wizard of Oz. Or, rather, everyone thought Sharpay was sabotaging The Wizard of Oz. Even Darbus was refusing to speak to her and Ryan had stopped sticking up for her, though Sharpay knew that he knew that she was not the cause for the damage.

The fire had been put out before it could spread too far, but the Head that had taken two weeks to create now had to be rebuilt. A new pair of shoes had been bought and sprayed but had vanished again. The Tin Man's axe had found its way into a wall of Dorothy's house, three trees had been stripped of their paint, and someone had tampered with the flying apparatus, sending one flying Taylor as the Witch falling. Her wrist was sprained, but the doctor had promised Darbus that she would be able to perform.

And, naturally, everyone was blaming Sharpay.

Ryan was suddenly extremely introverted, at home and school and rehearsal. People were shunning him on behalf of Sharpay, who was genuinely upset it about it. She tried to encourage him, run his lines with him and give him pointers on choreography, but he was so down-in-the-dumps that it was hard to be around him.

Bernadette the Bichon Frise was now attending rehearsals and didn't seem to take too kindly to Gabriella and had bit her finger twice. Troy jokingly said that Sharpay had trained the dog to bite Gabriella, and people had taken it seriously. Whispered voices spoke of Sharpay in an electromagnetic room, shocking her dog every time it incorrectly bit a giant voodoo doll of Gabriella. Sharpay wondered if anyone actually knew what the word "electromagnetic" meant. Heck, Sharpay didn't even know what "electromagnetic" meant!

The basketball season was going on currently, but Zeke had already asked Sharpay more than once to come to his football games, only to be given a little smile that said "Aren't you cute in an immature way? Now evaporate tall person," and a hair flip as Sharpay walked away. She had to give him credit though – he didn't give up.

And here he came now, a baggie of cookies in his hand.

"Hey, Sharpay," he said. She gave him the "Aren't you cute in an immature way? Now evaporate tall person" smile. "I made you some cookies."

Sharpay took the baggie. "Thanks, Zeke."

Zeke's eyes got big. "You know my name?" He practically floated away, a gleeful grin on his face.
