Shoelace22 - Here ya go!

The next day at school, Sharpay managed to completely ignore Troy, although it was a day where everyone sat at the same table for lunch. It was thursday. Tuesdays and Thursdays, the gang all sat together, and not with their clique. Kelsi had so far kept Ryan's secret, well... A secret.

Troy even tried to talk to her, but as previously mentioned, Sharpay totally ignored him. Gabby talked to her, but Sharpay seemed really distant, so there wasn't much of a conversation. Gabby tried to weasel the secret from Kelsi, but she wouldnt snap. What Kelsi didnt know is that what she knew was only part of the whole truth of what was bothering Sharpay. When she saw Ryan, he didn't look so disraught, but Kelsi reasoned it off to be that he was a male. He therefore didn't wear his emotions on his sleeves.

Over the next two weeks, Sharpay totally ignored Troy. Troy however, had completely given up trying to talk to Sharpay. Gabby had often complained that she didnt talk to her anymore. Although Troy knew exactly what was bothering her, he didn't dare tell anything to Gabby. He just played that he didnt know anything whatsoever.

As Ryan's doctor appointment drew closer, Sharpay grew crankier and crankier. She didn't try to be, but she couldn't help it. She blamed the lack of sleep that she was getting, and that was based on the fact that they were getting closer to her brothers doom, when she knew that the tests they'd do would tell him he had Leukemia.

The morning of Ryan's doctor appointment, Sharpay got up, sporting a tremendous backache, and headache. She hadn't slept at all whatsoever that night. She got up, made some breakfast while Ryan took a shower. She and him ate, then she went to take her shower. She put her hair into a messy bun, loose though, so her head didn't have to deal with hairspray, curling iron, and more hairspray. she applied some eyeliner, and mascara, then skipped to putting on a pink baseball tee, and khaki pants. Ryan had dressed in black dress pants, with a blue baseball tee, and stored a fedora on his head.

"Let's go to school sis." Ryan said as he opened the front door. She followed him out to the car, and got in. At school, she had a short conversation with Gabby about the musical. Main topic being Mrs. Darbus. After school, Ryan and Sharpay went to the theater. They needed to tell Mrs. Darbus that they couldn't make it to rehearsal.

"Mrs. Darbus." Ryan said, getting the woman's attention. She turned around, and smiled upon seeing Ryan and Sharpay.

"Yes Mr. Evans?" she asked.

"Sharpay and I won't be able to attend rehearsal today." he told her. Her face grew stern, and she looked like she was about to yell at them.

"And why not?" she asked, looking back and forth between the twins. She had asked this rather loudly, so everyone who was on the stage stopped, and turned to view the spectacle before them.

"Ryan has a doctor's appointment." Sharpay answered quietly.

"Can you reschedule it?" she asked, looking for a way for the two to stay.

"No I can't, ma'am."

"I am sure you can. The theater waits for no one, not even doctor's." she said. Sharpay wanted to scratch Mrs. Darbus' eyes out of her head.

"This isn's just a regular doctor's appointment, I was rather lucky to have it so quick." Ryan explained. Darbus was still being rather loud, and obnoxious.

"Well, I am sorry, but neither of you can skip practice. You need to be here." She said. Sharpay looked towards Kelsi, who was shaking her head in dismay. The teacher and her brother went back and forth for a few minutes.

"Mrs. Darbus, I really have to go to this appointment. It is a serious matter." Ryan said exasperatedly. If they kept going on like this, then Ryan was going to be late to his appointment.

"You make it sound like you don't make this appointment, then you will die. I am sure that is not the case." Mrs. Darbus said with a note of finality.

"THAT'S BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY MIGHT!" Sharpay yelled, sick of the teacher's ignorance. Mrs. Darbus turned around.

"Excuse me?" She asked, looking at Sharpay as though she Sharpay had just killed someone.

"Sharpay, calm down." Ryan told his sister, who had tears streaming down her cheeks. She gathered a few good breaths, and spoke unsteadily.

"My brother is going to the doctor, to find out if he has Leukemia or not. We are leaving now." This was said still rather loudly. Gabby gasped. Sharpay grabbed Ryan's hand and they left. Meanwhile, in the theater, Mrs. Darbus had glassy eyes, as she tried not to let them escape. She couldn't imagine her theater without the duo of Ryan and Sharpay. Gabby approached Kelsi, who seemed unfazed by the news.

"Why are you not affected by the annoucement?" Gabby asked.

"Because, I already knew." Kelsi told her.

"That's the secret you were keeping for her? We're their friends, and we deserve to know." Gabby said angrily.

"It was not my secret to tell. I didn't want to betray her trust." Kelsi told Gabby. The playmaker turned from the star, and went back to practicing her songs. Gabby stormed off.

At the doctor office, the twins waited impatiently for the nurse to call them in. Ryan noticed that his sister looked quite green, so he asked, "Sis, are you okay?" she shook her head.

"I think I am going to throw up." she stood up, and ran to the bathroom. When she came back, Ryan felt her forehead. She wasn't warm that he could feel.

"It's just the nerves. I am so scared that they are going to tell you that you have Leukemia." She hugged her brother. They only broke apart when the nurse called for him. They walked to the office where the doctor put him on the bed. They ran the nescessary tests to find out his medical problem, and set him up with an appointment for February 10th, to find the results of the test.

The next week crept by, especially for Sharpay. She was so worried about her brother, that she was almost constantly sick. Even with being so sick, she ate a lot more than normal. 'Stress causes you to do that' she reasoned. Her body almost always seemed to ache. She also couldnt believe how tired she was.

Ryan began to worry about her sister. What she was doing was unhealthy for her. He didn't want to put more pressure on her by telling her this, so he kept to himself.

What worried him the most was when he heard her talking on the phone to Kelsi. He heard everything, considering it was on speakerphone in her room, and she thought Ryan was asleep in his room.

"Kels. I have a problem."

"What's that?" she asked.

"I never told you the truth about what was wrong with me."

"But... You said it was your brother."

"Part of it was, but, the thing is... At the party... now I am only telling you because you kept my secret from Troy and Gabby, mind you. Well, at the party, When you and Gabby went to get something to drink, Troy asked what was wrong. He took me to his room, and I told him about Ry. Well, he kissed me." Kelsi gasped.

"NO!" she said.

"I pushed him away though, and reminded him of Gabby."

"Good girl."

"I know, but you know how I've been sick?"

"Yeah, bachaches, headaches, tiredness from the lack of sleep. You're just worried about your brother."

"I know. But what the secret is, that after I pushed Troy away the first time, I didn't push him away the second time."

"And that's got you upset? Kissing Troy? Twice?" Kelsi asked.

"No. I... Uh... We..." Kelsi understood.

"Oh! That's why you don't talk to Troy anymore."

"And now I have a bigger worry." Sharpay told her friend in confidence.

"What's that?"

"I've missed my period."
