A/N Sorry I didn't update sooner. I've had writers block for the past few days. I hope you all like this chapter. It's a little longer than the rest.

Disclaimer I don't own "High School Musical" or Disney Channel. If I did, Troypay would be a couple.

PART 3

For Sharpay, the day couldn't end fast enough. Through every class she kept thinking about homeroom, trying to figure out if Troy liked her or not. They used to be best friends, until he broke her heart. Maybe he just wants to be friends again? She wasn't sure. She was going to make sure she found out tonight, though.

After what seemed like an eternity the final bell rang. Sharpay rushed home to change and fix her hair and makeup. She wanted to look perfect. Just like that Valentines day so long ago.

It was finally 7 and Troy showed up exactly on time. He slowly walked up the step to the Evans' house and stood at the door for a moment. Sharpay saw this through her bedroom window, but decided to wait until he rang the bell to open the door. She didn't want to seem to anxious to see him.

Ryan saw her looking out the window and quietly walked up behind her to see what she was looking at. His face turned from a curious to disgusted when he saw what Sharpay was looking at. He was overprotective of Sharpay, and he hated Troy for breaking her heart. The only person that knew the real reason for Troy and Sharpay's break up was Ryan.

After standing on the porch for about 5 minutes, Troy finally got the courage to ring the doorbell. Sharpay immediately ran downstairs and opened the door.

"Hey, Troy," she greeted as he stepped inside. "I guess we should start practicing."

Troy really wasn't interested in practicing, he just wanted to spend time with Sharpay. Ever since that day he had always felt guilty for making her the way she is. He had to find a way to melt the 'Ice Queen'. "Yeah, I guess we should," was all he could say to her. He was lost looking in her beautiful brown eyes.

Sharpay noticed that he was staring, but she didn't mind. She wanted him to fall back in love with her more than anything, but she would never admit it. Not even to Ryan.

Things were awkward at first between Troy and Sharpay. Ryan didn't help any. He kept coming into the room every 5 minutes to check up on them. Sharpay knew that he was really just making sure Troy wasn't harming Sharpay. Sharpay was annoyed by this, but chose to ignore it.

After about an hour of this, Sharpay broke the silence that had been looming over the two. "Why did you do it, Troy? Why did you choose basketball over me?" She was afraid of the answer, but she had to know. She had to know why he broke her heart. She had wondered this for years, and know was her chance to finally find out the truth.

Troy was shocked by this question. How could he answer this? There really wasn't a reason, besides peer preasure. Chad never really liked Sharpay, and Troy hated how he was torn between the two. "Shar," he started, but he quickly got cut off.

"Don't call me that, Bolton. My name is Sharpay," she corrected him. She didn't understand why she was being so mean, but something inside of her wouldn't let him call her 'Shar'.

Troy's eyes immediately filled with hurt as she talked. "Uh, sorry," he mumbled. She then motioned for him to continue with his explanation. "I couldn't take it, Sharpay. The team was already angry because I spent all my time with you, if I would have dated you I would have been shunned by all my friends."

Sharpay couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was that really the reason? "So you broke my heart because your friends didn't approve?" Her eyes were starting to fill with tears. "That's the only reason? Because they thought I was a distraction?"

By this time there were tears rolling down her cheeks. Troy just stood there, stunned. He didn't know what to say. He knew that his reason wasn't a good one. "Sharpay, I, i'm sorry."

"Sometimes sorry doesn't fix everything," was all she said before she walked over to the piano and started practicing again.
