"What is up with you? Why are you acting so strangely?" Kelsi asked. Sharpay's eyes welled up with tears yet again.

"I... am... It's just..." She started, but her mind was overloaded, and she couldn't seem to make a whole sentence.

"Oh, Sharpay..." Kelsi hugged her crying friend for a moment, before pulling back.

"What happened?" She asked. Sharpay calmed herself before telling Kelsi only half the truth.

"Ryan. You know that he's been sick lately. Tired also. Well, his nosebleeds became real bad... So... After he got that cut, it didn't heal. I made him go to the doctor... Who... Who said that he might have Leukemia..." She broke down crying in front of her friend, who didnt know what else to do.

"Oh, Sharpay... I don't know what to say." She said, stumbling over her words. Her mind roved over Ryan. She couldn't imagine him being pale, going through Chemotherapy, and losing his hair. This was almost too much for her. Tears filled her eyes.

"You dont need to say anything." Sharpay told her.

"When does he find out if he really has Leukemia or not?"

"He has an appointment on February 1st, which they will do some tests, and they'll schedule another appointment to tell him his results." Sharpay was still sitting on the floor. Kelsi kneeled down, and helped her up.

"Well, you know my phone number if you need to call me. If you need any help at all, or just need someone to talk to. I am here." she said. Sharpay nodded.

"I will keep you in mind." Kelsi looked around.

"I don't mean to ditch you here, but I've got Troy and Gabby waiting for me to rehearse. I will call you later." She walked back out onto the stage and sat at the piano.

"What was that about?" Troy asked, noticing Sharpay had been crying.

"Nothing that you need to know about. Personal girl problems." Kelsi told him.

"Is she okay?" Gabby asked. Kelsi shook her head.

"She has got a lot of stuff going on right now, and it is all upsetting her." Troy paniced. 'Did she tell Kelsi what we did?' he thought.

"Like what?" Troy asked her.

"Something to do with her brother." Kelsi smacked herself.

"What do you mean?" Gabby asked. Troy breathed a silent sigh of relief that Sharpay hadn't told Kelsi.

"Nothing. I have already ran my mouth too much. It's none of my business, and none of yours either. Lets rehearse." Kelsi started the music before either party could contest. Meanwhile, Sharpay had dried her tears, and made her exit to the car, where Ryan was waiting. He was sitting sideways in the drivers seat, door open, and was leaned over. Sharpay got closer to discover her brother finishing out a good nose bleed. A puddle of blood covered the ground between his feet. His skin was extremely pale, and he looked like he was about to pass out.

"Come on, I'm gonna drive. Let's get you in the other seat." She said, helping him up. She walked him over to the other side of the car, and helped him in.

"Thanks Sis." He said, leaning the back of the seat down. He closed his eyes, and probably passed out. Sharpay got in the driver's seat, and drove home. She shook Ryan awake, and they stumbled into the living room. He laid on the couch, unable to make the climb upstairs. Sharpay went into the kitchen, got some water, and a hot wash rag.

"Here Brother." she put it on his forehead. He sipped the cold water, before laying back down. Sharpay made sure Ryan was as comfortable as possible. She turned the television on, made sure he could hear it, but also made sure it was not too loud. She made sure he had the remote, and that he had plenty of water. She went to go make dinner.

'Salsbury steaks will do for tonight.' she thought, pulling the box out of the freezer. She followed the directions, and put them into the oven, making sure she set the timer. She had a habit of forgetting she was cooking, only to remember when the oven was on fire. She knew her brother didn't need that after his past couple days. She went to the car and got her's and her brother's book bags.

When the timer went off, she was working on her Calculus homework, having finished her Advanced Chemistry, and History work. She got up, took the steaks out, and started the 5 minute rice. After the food had set for the allotted time, Sharpay put them onto the plates, and set them out on the table. She went to the living room, and woke up Ryan.

"Huh?" He asked. She told him dinner was ready, so he got up and went to the kitchen table.

"Did you do your homework?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah, but you need to get yours done soon also." she reminded him.

"I'm really tired though. I don't think it will hurt my grade if I let these assignments go this one time." he said.

"No, you can just copy mine." She told him. They had all classes together, because they were both equally smart, and liked getting great grades, hence them being in such advanced classes.

"That is cheating, Sharpay." He admonished.

"I do not care. You don't deserve to suffer bad grades because God is taking out some evil revenge on you."

"God is not taking revenge on me." Ryan told his sister. She only raised an eyebrow.

After dinner was over, Ryan copied Sharpay's work while she did the dishes. When the dishes were all clean, Sharpay put the final touches on her Calculus work, and handed it to her brother. When he finished copying it, she helped him upstairs, and went to put their books back in the car. It was now nine at night, and she logged into the internet to check her email. Her laptop immediatley connected her to yahoo messenger.

Basketball-boy: Sharpay. I want to talk to you.

Sharpay hesitated.

HighSchoolPrincess: That only makes one of us. Go away.

Basketball-boy: Its about the other day.

HighSchoolPrincess: Well, i am not listening. Go away.

Basketball-boy: Please

HighSchoolPrincess has logged out.

Sharpay was angry that he would even think about talking to her. That boy had nerve. She glared at the screen, and deleted the three emails from Troy in her inbox. The telephone rang as she logged off her computer. She picked up her handset that she had in her room, and clicked 'talk'.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Sharp-" She clicked end. She was in no way going to talk to Troy. The telephone rang again.

"Yeah."

"Sh-" She pressed end yet again. The telephone rang yet again.

"Troy! I do not want to talk to you!" She said angrily.

"Um. It's Kelsi." A female voice said from the other end.

"Oh, sorry Kels. I thought it was someone else." She cursed herself for not bothering to look at the Caller ID.

"Yeah, you thought it was Troy."

"How'd you know?" she asked, totally unaware that she had called Kelsi, 'Troy'.

"Because you called me Troy." Sharpay smacked her forehead. "So, why was he calling you?" Kelsi asked.

"Because... um... he wanted to know what was wrong with me." She lied, fumbling her words.

"I told him to leave you alone. He is stupid, I am sorry."

"What do you mean?" Sharpay asked.

"He was uh, asking about you earlier. He saw you crying earlier when him and Gabby were waiting for me to rehearse." Kelsi replied truthfully.

"It's okay," They conversed until ten o'clock when Sharpay told Kelsi that she needed her beauty sleep.
