Chapter 18: Let's go home:
Sharpay's PoV:
"Oh my gosh!" Nevaeh squealed, shaking her hands nervously.
"What?" I asked out of true shock and annoyance.
"I still can't believe that you are dating my ... COUSIN!" She emphasized the cousin.
"Nevaeh, that's like so yesterday!" I said in a fake, phony cheerleader's voice.
"Shut up! It's only still new!" Nevaeh said in defense.
"Can we please take our minds off my love life and concentrate on what we're supposed to be doing?" I asked.
"Which is?"
"Shopping for the Formal."
"Oh yeah ... is Dante and them doing this also?" Nevaeh asked.
"They better be. I hope ... Come on. Let's go get Destiny and Kelsi!"
With that I walked off to find Destiny and Kelsi. I really hoped that they had chosen, since our bus was due in the next ten minutes. Nevaeh and I found them in the food court, with two bags sitting there, next to them while they were stuffing themselves with food. Yummy, junk food. I stopped, rolled my eyes at them and picked up by speed. Nevaeh scurried along.
"You done?" I asked Kelsi.
"Yeah, we were done long before you guys were. We had spare time on our hand, so we decided to shop for accessories and eat." Kelsi replied with ease.
"Ok. But we better get out of here soon, because our school bus is due in less than ten minutes!" I exclaimed clutching onto my 2-4 bags of items, I purchased for the formal.
"Ok, let me just finish this!" Kelsi whined.
"No, finish it on the bus or something!" I argued back.
We ran out of the Mall to the bus stop to look for our school shuttle bus. I, at the moment, couldn't care less about where the boys were. I nudged Kelsi and Nevaeh who nudged Destiny in turn, and we all sprinted as fast as we could to the bus. We shoed our student ID card and hopped on.
"Good afternoon Mr. Daniels." He was the driver that drove us on my birthday.
"The boys better be here by 3:30 ..." Nevaeh grumbled under her breath.
"Why?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.
"Because the bus is on a tight schedule and it has to leave before 3:30!"
"Try calling them." I suggested.
"No need." Destiny said, nudged me and we all looked up.
"Sorry we're late," Chad spluttered.
"Couldn't resist ..." Dante also spluttered.
"Please tell me that you did not just oggle at some jersey in the sports store. Please!" I said desperately.
"We did our shopping!" They replied brightly.
"Now that's a relief."
I stood up and sat next to Troy who was sitting on the back of the bus. He was staring out the window. I nudged him and when he turned around to look at me I smiled.
"Hello beautiful."
"What's wrong?" I asked, with a slight giggle.
"Oh nothing, I'm just gonna miss this place although I do miss East High a lot!" He smiled.
"I love you." I cooed and gave him a peck on the lip.
"I love you too."
The other students that were out were all filing into the bus. Nevaeh handed me my shopping things and I set the down on the floor next to my legs. I remained sitting next to Troy. As soon as I got back, I would have to take a shower. After shower, Geraldine would drop by and do our hair and help us dress. After that we would go down to the Hall. Girls and boys would come separately. Then the formal night would start.
"You excited?" Troy asked.
"Oh my gosh. More than just excited. Ecstatic, even ecstatic doesn't cut it!" I exclaimed, my hands clammy.
"Don't worry. You'll look so beautiful that everyone will just stop and stare at you." He said with a kiss.
"Aww, that is so sweet Troy. Thank you." I said and leaned into give him a kiss, when-
"A-hemhem! We're here Sharpay, let's go get ready!" Nevaeh broke our perfect moment and made a dash for me.
"Aww, but-." I tried to reason.
"No but's come on!" Nevaeh tugged on my sleeves.
"Bye Troy, I'll see you later!" I said and blew him an air kiss instead.
"Gosh, Sharpay that was sickening." Nevaeh shuddered.
I just laughed. I gasped loudly and I dashed back inside the bus. I left my things on the bus. Troy was standing there, with his friends trying to get to the seat in front of him. Troy was being a true gentleman and letting others go first. Aww, how sweet is my Troy?
"Here comes Sharpay!" Chad whispered and snickered.
"I came here to get my things." I claimed loudly.
"And to get a kiss from your .." Dante started.
"Trooooooooy." The rest chorused.
Stupid immature pratty boys. I sarcastically laughed at them. I picked up my stuff and when I snapped back up I was staring into Troy's blue ones. I smiled. I might as well kiss him. I leaned in towards him and he leaned in towards me. The guys started making so much noise; I thought the whole school was going to hear. I mean it wasn't the first time we kissed.
"I'll see you later Troy!" I smiled and ran out the bus.
"Yep! See you later!" He returned the smile and winked at me.
Aah, the feeling and the crazy butterflies! I stuck my tongue out at Nevaeh, Kelsi and Destiny's back as they were already half way across.
"Wait for me you guys!" I yelled and ran towards them.
When we got to the building of the girls' dorms there was excitement buzzing in the air. We smiled and laughed to ourselves and disappeared into our room. We had our backs to the room, since we were walking in backwards. When we turned around I thought I was going to die form serious heart attack.
"AAH!" We all screamed.
There, Geraldine was, with a desk that looked like a make-up desk in back stages, with all sorts of beauty products. She then threw her hands up in the air and started to laugh at how funny we looked when we were screaming.
"Ahaha! You should have seen Destiny's face! What a nerd, Des, what a nerd!" Geraldine laughed, wiping a tear away from her eyes from laughing too much.
"What are you doing here so early?" I asked.
"Hello to you too baby!" she exclaimed with a mock-hurt expression and came and hugged us all in turn.
"I decided to turn up early. I wouldn't want to miss all the juicy gossip that's going to be going around when you guys' are changing! And plus, I've missed you girls so much! Especially you Sharpay!" She said and fluffed up her hair.
"How are you and my cousin?" She squealed.
"Oh, Geraldine. Keep in touch please! That's like so yesterday!" I exclaimed using the same tone I used on Nevaeh.
"Whatever. So is he treating you like a princess? Coz if he isn't I can easily bash him for you!" Geraldine joked.
"No way! Don't bash the sweetest guy on the face of earth!" I joked back, displaying mock-horror on my face.
We all burst up laughing. I then got excused and went to take a shower. The showers were full, although there were plenty for everyone. I waited for a while and Kathryn came out of one of the showers, her hair wrapped up in a turban style and she was wearing her pajamas. I tilted my head as I went into the shower.
"Aren't you going to the formal, Kath?" I asked.
"Yes. But I really have nothing plain to wear during my hours of getting ready." She laughed, "You know Jessalyn? Her older sister Jemalyn is coming to do our hair and everything. How exciting is that?"
"Yeah, well Geraldine is here to do our make-up and she's a professional make-up artist." I argued back childishly.
"Oh you serious? You're so lucky! Well I shall see you then alright?" She made sure.
"Alright. Bye." I said as I turned the water on.
After Sharpay was done with the shower
"So, who's first?" Geraldine asked.
"Destiny." Everyone exclaimed.
"WHAT! Why me?" She asked.
"Because, you're dry and ready!" Nevaeh said.
"But I also need to take a shower!" Destiny protested.
"No you don't! You took one in the morning! So just go and get your make-up done!" Kelsi laughed at her own remark.
"Oh fine!" Destiny said and walked huffily over to the chair and sat down.
I sat down on the floor and started to dry my own hair. Suddenly Geraldine looked up and threw a glance towards me. Her eyes grew large as she threw another glance towards me. She put the curler down on the table and gasped and ran towards me with her arms outstretched.
"What?" I asked.
"Don't dry blow your hair!" She waved her hands in the air.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because you'll end up like this." With that she fished for something in her big large make-up bag.
She took our a little black book and flipped through the pages. Then she showed me the picture. There it was. A mannequin with a puffy hair that looked a lot like Chad's hair. I shuddered imaging my hair like that. I stopped immediately, put the blow dryer back in the drawer and started to lay out my clothes and accessories. Finally it was my turn. I sat down on the chair.
"You have really nice hair Sharpay. Wonders what I can do with this!" Geraldine exclaimed excitedly.
She then got to work. Straightening, curling, pinning etc.
"Tada!" She exclaimed even more excitedly and handed me a mirror.
I looked at myself. I looked so beautiful. Well only the hair anyway. My fringe was swiped sideways, Geraldine put a hair band on my head, and it was gold sequined. She somehow pinned my hair up. Before she curled the ends. So it looked as if I had curly noodles in my head. But it was still beautiful.
"Oh my gosh, Geraldine! You're such a genius!" I threw my hands around her neck and gave her a big hug.
"I know! I know," Geraldine put her hand up in the air.
"Just stay like that. Don't try to dress. When I'm done with Nevaeh and Kelsi then I'll help you girls dress." Geraldine said.
Then we got into our dresses with the help of Geraldine. Mine was a pink sleeveless dress with sparkles. Geraldine did my make-up first and then we were ready to pack our purses and get going. Geraldine was invited to the formal by Nevaeh. When we got there, Troy was waiting near the front door for me. I smiled broadly at him and rushed off the bus.
"Thanks, Geraldine. I'll see you loners later!" I joked and punched Nevaeh on the arm.
"Whatever. Go have fun with Troy!" She laughed and Destiny and Geraldine joined in.
I walked off. He greeted me with a big hug. I smiled up at him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we walked in together. There were people all seated together. I walked off to the table with the jocks. Chad was there with a random girl. Dante was there with Shella. And the rest were out and about getting drinks or pricking up their dates. When the formal officially started we were all seated and we started with eating first. Then we danced. Then it was time for all those awards and everything.
Troy and I slipped out after we were positive that there were no more awards for us.
We sat on the low brick wall with held hands.
"So ..?" I started.
"Sharpay, you know how much I love you right?"
"Hmm ... maybe." I said jokingly.
"How much?" I asked.
"More than this much!" He replied childishly and held up his arms.
"Only?" I kidded.
"I love you more than anything else in this whole wide world!" He said.
"I love you too!" I said and gave him a hug.
Maybe I hugged him too hard. Or maybe he just lost his balance, but when I hugged him, we fell backwards on the grass. We laughed and stayed there for a brief second. Then we leaned in and gave each other a deep and loving kiss.
What a way to end the night.
