Graduation Caps to Wedding Vails
"That was Then, and this Now"
Chapter 1: Graduation Day: Beginning of the next chapter of our Lives.
"GOOD MORNING, ALBUQEURQUE! I'm your host of the Jay Larson Morning Show, and I'm Jay Larson! Today it's going to be Sunny and Hot, perfect for a swim at the Mary Ann Aquatic center! Tell us what's going on today, Lynn!"" Thanks Jay, well today is a special day at the Mary Ann Aquatic Center because a very important athelete is making his graduation today! It's our very own, Troy Bolton! Good Luck, and it looks like a hot and sunny one!" the alarm clock screached. Sharpay Evans woke up to that every morning. But today was different. Because Jay Larson was wrong. It was going to be a rainy and gloomy day.
Sharpay raced down the steps to see her whole entire family running around taking pictures, cooking and stacking presents up one by one. Sharpay's hair hung snuggly around eye sash on top of her head. She wore her pink shorts with her white tank top. She ran over to where her mother and Aunt Maria we're sitting. "Good Morning, Honey!" Her Aunt said, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Good Morning..." Sharpay said while letting out a huge yawn. Her Aunt Maria was big in showbiz. She performed on Broadway 4 times a week, and was a big star! That was Sharpay's inspiration.
"Sharpay! What are you doing down here? Go get ready!" her mom shouted as she pulled pots and pans out from the kitchen cabinets. "Mom, can I atleast have something to eat?" Sharpay whined. "No you may not, you have to fit into your dress! Now go change, your brothers already on the way to the Aquatic Center!" Ms.Evans scolded. "Thanks for calling me fat, Mom. Just what I need on what's going to be on the hardest day of my life!" She said as she ran up the steps.
Sharpay slipped on her silk, white spaghetti strap dress and walked over to her mirror. She twisted and turned and she looked at the flattering dress on her. "Perfect! Only if everything else would go perfect today...which won't even come close TO happening." She walked down stairs, with her graduation gown in one hand, her cap in the other. She sat on a stool in the down stairs bathroom. Her Aunt Maria put on her make-up, as Sharpay texted Gabriella.
Sharpay: Hey girlie! What are you up to?
Gabriella: Nothing much. My mom is clearing space on my wall for all the awards I'm going to win.:p
Sharpay: LOL. Oh Shut Up! You know your going to win all of the Math and Science awards, because you are just too smart!
Gabriella: No need to toot my own horn, but, TOOT TOOT!
Sharpay: You are to funny!
Gabriella: So are you ready for the big moment?
Sharpay: Honestly, no.
Gabriella: You'll be fine. I promise.
Sharpay: Thanks. Gabbi?
Gabriella: Yeah?
Sharpay: This time, I really mean it. Thanks for being there. Well g2g! XOXO.
Gabriella: See ya in about 2 hours. LYLAS!
Sharpay pushed the cover to her Sidekick back slowly. She took one deep breath and looked in the mirror. Her cheeks bronzed, her eyes twinkled, and her lips looked glam. 'Too bad that would all be run off in a few hours.' She said to herself as she bit her lip. She looked down at her right hand. There sat a gold ring. It had a red ruby smack dab in the middle. She twirled it around. As she say the letters,'TROY', she shed a tear. The tear ran down her face and onto a necklace she was wearing. She lifted the necklace up so she could see it. She got lost in thoughts...
Flashback
Troy handed her a tiny teal box as he gave her a little kiss. Sharpay opened the box with amazement."Happy Birthday, Shar." He said as he put the necklace around Sharpay's neck.
End of Flashback
Sharpay squeezed the heart on the end of the necklace. She walked out of the bathroom and into that kitchen. There, her mother volumed, straightened, and curled her hair.She fluffed her hair and grabbed her graduation stuff. She loaded into the car with her mom, Aunt Maria, and a few of her cousins. Her mother dropped her of at the Aquatic Center's Stadium, and went on her way. Sharpay followed the signs and entered the dressing rooms.
She wandered around until she found Taylor and Gabbi. They all three screamed. She gave them both hugs.They took bunches of pictures. Funny ones and friendly one. They all helped eachother put on the graduation gowns and caps. The put on there final touches of make-up, and lined up. The rest of their lives were about to start.
