Chapter 7:Don't Worry, Be Happy!
Troy drove Chad's car over to the girls apartment at around six. He jogged up the stairs as he checked his breath and hair. He arrived at the apartment as Sharpay had just finished getting ready. She wore a white dress, her hair down, diamond earrings, and a beautiful smile. She grabbed her purse and headed for the door. Troy knocked on it with a rap tat tat. Sharpay opened the door. She wrapped her arms around Troy's neck as she gave him a kiss. She pulled away with her arms still on Troy's neck. Troy put his hands on Sharpay's waist as she touched his nose against hers. He store into her beautiful brown eyes, giving ehr a kiss on the forehead.He then grabbed her hand and the headed down the steps.
They jumped in the car and rushed off to Buckheads. Sharpay cautioned Troy the whole time while he was driving, as they looked for one way signs and Toyotas coming at them. They arrived and hopped out of the car. He held her hand as they walked into the restraunt. Paparrazzi near by snapped their pictures as they both just smiled and gave them a wave. Troy opened the door with his unbroken arm, and pushed Sharpay in.
They headed towards the hostess stand as people store them down and pointed to Troy's arm. He was bigshot now, so, pretty much, people wanted to know everything about him. They waddled over to the hostess stand. "Bolton. 2" he said as he greeted the hostess. She looked up at Troy, her jaw dropped."I'm sorry, but my brother loves you. Do you think I could get an autograph?" she asked as she held out a sheet of paper. Troy looked over at Sharpay who smiled and nodded. She pulled her purse back up on her arm as she watched Troy, sign autographs. She smiled as she watched Troy attempt to sign. Instead, he just scribbled a big 'T' and 'B'. Troy finally said goddbye as they headed to their table.
They sat down in a cozy two seat booth, facing away from eachother. Sharpay thanked the hostess and looked around."This is so beautiful.' she exclaimed as something caught her eye. She made a funny face as she squinted her eyes and looked at the table diagonal from them. She made an uneasy look on her face as she looked at Troy. He was flipping through the menu. She grabbed it out of his hand and covered both of their faces. "What the?"he said as she came nose to nose with Sharpay."The UCLA basketball coach is right over there! If he see us, he'll kill you, or more importantly, me!" she said as she gave Troy a look in the eye. He lowered the menu, and tried to just focus on Sharpay.
They made it through dinner, until the coach approached their table. "Troy, is that you?" he asked as he gave him a pat on the back. "Uh, yeah coach." he said as he shook his hand."Listen, I heard about your incident. It's fine with me. But, you're really hurting the team." he said with deep concern. "Uh,yeah. I feel terrible. But, I'll be back to the games in no time!" he said with a smile on his face.The coach smiled back, as he caught a glimpse of Sharpay."And who is this beautiful yound lady?" he said as he gave Trioy a wink. "Oh, coach, this is Sharpay Evans. She's my girlfriend.We're High School Sweethearts." he smiled. The coach shook her hand with a smile. "Well, I should be off. Tell your father I said hello. It was nice meeting you." he replied as he walked off.
They both let out a deep breath. "Well, that went better than planned." Sharpay said as she ran her fingers through her hair."Yeah." he said as he grabbed Sharpay's hand and they left. They decided to head back to the guys apartment. They arrived as everyone greeted them. Troy plopped down on the floor inbetween Jason and Zeke. Sharpay mosied over to the couch, as Jason, Zeke, and Chad gave her dirty looks. She squeezed inbetween Gabi and Taylor. She set her head in her hand as she tried to hide her red cheeks from gultiness. "This was going to be a long night..." she thought to herself.
