Chapter 6: Respect to the Princess

Troy swirved and slid down the street as a Toyata came flying at them, honking and motioning his hand to get out the way. Troy had not been paying attention, and went down a one way street. He decided the only thing to day so that it wouldn't hurt anyone was to run into a pole. He held in his breath and ran into the pole. Nailed it. Troy threw his hand out into front of Sharpay so the airbag wouldn't hit her. Sharpay's eye's open with shock, she couldn't even speak. She looked over at Troy who was holding onto his arm as he tried to suck in the tears. "OMG! Troy, are you okay!" Sharpay asked as she pulled out a water bottle from her purse and set it on his arm."I think I just broke my arm." Troy said in agony as he tilted his head back on the head rest. "This is all my fault! I am so sorry!" Sharpay said as she put guilt on herself. "It's okay Shar, it was my fault actually I wasn't paying attention.My Dad is going to kill me. I'll probably have to miss basketball tryouts." Troy said as he ran his hand down his face. "Basketball? WHAT ABOUT YOUR CAR! LOOK AT IT! IT'S TOTALED! I have to get you to the hospital." Sharpay said as she pulled out her phone and called Ryan.

"Hello?"

"RYAN! I NEED YOU TO COME PICK TROY AND ME UP! HE TOTALED HIS CAR AND BROKE HIS ARM!" Sharpay said with no hesitation.

" Kinda of at school right now. Call someone else." Ryan answered. Sharpay's face got really red.

" RYAN EVANS! YOU ARE GOING TO COME DOWN HERE AND PICK US UP RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME TOM CRUISE, I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERBALE!" Sharpay demanded.

"...okay. I'll be there in a minute." Ryan assured.

Ryan arrived and called a tow truck for Troy's car. They loaded into Ryan's car and headed to the hospital. They sat in the lobby, as Sharpay filled Troy's health information out, as Troy sat there and ate cheetos."We just ate, Troy." Sharpay laughed. "I know, but a broken arm makes you hungry." Troy joked. Troy was put in a medical room as they waited and waited. Ryan sat in a chair while he read an article in a magazine about His Aunt Maria and the Broadway Show. Sharpay sat next to Troy with her hand around his waist and his hand on his unbroken arm in her lap.

After two hours of waiting, Troy's parents walked in. Mrs. Bolton walked over to Troy and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Are you okay, honey?" she asked. "I'm fine, mom." Troy answered. "Good. Hello sweetie." Mrs. Bolton said as she gave Sharpay a hug. Mr. Bolton walked over to Troy as he twisted and turned Troy's arm around. He made Troy take of his jacket, and put it on the coat rack. "Hello Sharpay, Hello Ryan." Mr. Bolton said as he bent Troy's arm up and down and Troy squezzed Sharpay's hand. "Hello Mr. Bolton..." They both answered with uneasiness in their tone.

The doctor arrived and gave Troy's arm an exam. X-rays and monograms, and all that good stuff. "Well, It appears you have broken your arm in three places form the pressure of the airbag hitting your arm. You'll be out for the beginning of the season." The doctor replied. "What? Three months?" Troy yelled. "You don't understand. This is Troy Bolton. He's the new star player on UCLA, and if he doesn't play, his career will be down the tube." Mr. Bolton shouted at the doctor. 'I'm sorry. There's just nothing I can do." The doctor said as he walked out of the room. Mr. Bolton had a sigh on his face, as Troy and Sharpay both knew that wasn't a good look. "Can I talk to Troy, alone, now?" Mr.Bolton said motioning everyone out of the room. Sharpay and Ryan scurried out of the room and sat down in the lobby. Mr. Bolton hand motioned Mrs. Bolton to get out too. She closed the door quietly and sat down next Sharpay, holding her hand and telling her everything would be okay.Mr. Bolton walked over to his son.

"Okay, so explain to me, how did this happen?" Mr. Bolton asked.

"We went down a one way street, and I was looking at a billboard and Sharpay screamed, and so I didn't want anyone to get hurt so I ran into a pole. I flung my hand out infront of the airbag so Sharpay wouldn't get hit, and I broke my arm." Troy answered as he looked to his feet.

"Oh, so it to protect Sharpay... ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? IF IT DID HIT HER, IT WOULD HAVE PROTECT HER, NOT HURT HER! NOW BECAUSE OF HER YOU CAN'T PLAY BASKETBALL!" His father screamed.

"Don't talk about Sharpay like that dad, because I love her very much!" Troy screamed.

"Oh, you love her, do you? This would have never happened if you would have gone to Duke, I'm telling you. You made the wrong decision. You ruined your dream!" Mr. Bolton scolded.

"I didn't ruin my dream, I ruined yours." Troy shouted back.

"What did you just say to me?" He asked.

"You heard me, I never wanted to go to Duke, I wanted to stay with my friends. And I feel much mort comforted with my friends around."

"Oh, so UCLA was all about the Pampered Princess, huh?"

"I respect Sharpay, because she's my girlfriend, and you should too." Troy said as he picked up his things and stormed out of the room.

Ryan dropped Troy off at his apartment. Troy walked upt he stairs and stormed in through the door. "Troy? Where have you been? Are you alright, Taylor told us everything." Jason asked. Troy threw his things on the counter and grabbed a coke out of the fridge."I'm fine, I just broke my arm, and have to sit out for the beginning of the season. "WHAT!" Chad replied as he walke down the stairs. "Troy, you don't understand, we need you!" Zeke assured. "There's nothing I can do about it." Troy said as he opened up his can of Coke."This is all Ice Queen's fault." Chad implied. "What about Sharpay? Listen, I'm going over to Sharpay's tonight, what are you three lazy bums going to do?" Troy said with a little anger. "Well, since you ask, Taylor, Ryan, and Gabriella are all coming over here to watch the game." Chad said as he walked back up the stairs witha snarled look on his face. This is going to be a long night. Troy thought to himself.
