Chapter 3
Sharpay was sitting by Chad's bed in his hospital room. She had been crying since she got there. Chad wasn't in a critical condition; he just bruised his ribs, had a concussion, and few other bruises on his body. She wasn't crying about Chad's condition. She was crying for her friends, and how they and her where all going through this again. She thought it had ended when the body was found, but it wasn't her body.
Sharpay squinted and leaned back in her chair. "Chad." she says. "Yeah." he says looking at his blonde girlfriend. "I went to the exact place where Taylor dropped Annie's body and Jennifer's body was found. You don't find that weird?" "Why is it weird?" "Because that's Taylor's secret place, we where with her the night she killed Annie we saw her throw the body in there. There's no way that Jennifer's body was found and not Annie's."
"So what are you suspecting." "That Taylor helped murder Jennifer." she says. "Sharpay, Taylor isn't some serial killer! She doesn't just kill-" "Jennifer was the exact same as Annie, right?" "She was shy, reserved, nice, she never talked about people. She never was our friend."
"Nevermind, just forget it." she sighs sitting down. "Annie is just gonna kill all of us, and the-"
"Hey!" Troy says walking in smiling. "How are you, Chad?"
"I'm good." he smiles. "Hey Sharpay."
"Hi!" she smiles. "Were's Gabi, and Lorenzo I haven't seen them in a while."
"She's at home, he's sleeping. They might be come tomorrow?" Troy says. Then the door opens revealing Zeke holding a container smiling.
"Hey Gabi called me, so I made you Seafood Tacos." he smiles. "Actually their my leftovers from my assignment."
"Thanks!" Chad says taking the container. The door opens again revealing Gabriella and holding a baby carrier smiling.
"Hey guys!" Gabriella smiles brightly she sits the baby carrier on the couch and put the handle down then the cover and looks at Lorenzo who's still sleeping under his green caterpillar blanket.
"Is he sleep?" Chad asked.
"Yeah." she says. "I thought I'd bring him to see you anyway." she looks at her son again and smiles.
"Gabriella, don't you think it's weird how Jennifer's body was found were Annie's body should be?" Sharpay asked her and Gabriella froze then looked up.
"I-I don't know?" she says quietly.
"You're lying." Troy says. "You're lying about something."
"No I'm not." she says and looks back down.
"You can tell us, your secret will be safe with us." Zeke says.
"Y-Yeah." Chad said with his mouth full. Then the door opens revealing Brenda who was smiling.
"I, uh heard about the accident. So I just brought you some Dorito's because I know flowers would be pointless." she says and hands the bag of chips to Chad who smiles happily.
"Thanks! I should get hurt more often."
"So what are you guys talking about?" she asks smiling.
"You heard about Jennifer?" Zeke asks her.
"Oh gosh, yeah. She was such a nice person. It's horrible that she was killed or committed suicide." Brenda says sighing fakely. Gabriella looks at her then back at Lorenzo. "Don't you guys think?"
"We didn't really know her." Troy says.
"You didn't know her either." Sharpay says squinching. Brenda scoffs and rolls her eyes.
"I did know her, we had a class or two together."
"Oh, I didn't even know you knew her." Chad says shrugging.
"I know everyone." she says laughing. "Duh. What did you think about Jennifer, Gabi?"
"I-I uh.."
"You met her right?"
"I never really like, um. I didn't know her." she says and looks back at Lorenzo.
"You're lying." Troy says.
"I have to go now, but I'll see you guys around." Brenda says and shoots a smirk at Gabriella then gets up and leaves.
"You knew Jennifer?" Sharpay asks her.
"I have to leave." Gabriella says getting her stuff together about to leave.
"You're going anywhere." Troy says and Gabriella freezes then looks at him.
"What do you guys wanna know then." she huffs fustrated.
"Tell us everything you know about Jennifer." Sharpay says.
...
Brenda walked out of the hospital room and was met with Liam, Cory, and Alysia. They walked to the outside of the hospital in a silence, the someone broke it.
"What'd you do?" Liam asked.
"I just revealed to them that she knew Jennifer, I doubt she'd tell though."
Cory was a Frat president of a Fraternity at U of A and Alysia was a Sorority President of a sorority at U of A.
"Gabriella, won't tell she's a smart girl." Liam assures them smiling.
"And you would know how? You only know her because you've have sexual encounters with her like a million times." Alysia scoffs. "Sex doesn't make you smart."
"First of all, it wasn't a million times. It was only like three times-"
"Actually once Liam." Brenda corrects.
"Whatever, when I was with her. I was also with about four other brunettes." he says shrugging. "I get confused."
"You're such a whore." Alysia says.
"Guys if Gabriella tells anyone about this you what could happen to us?" Cory speaks up. The three of them look at him and he shakes his head.
"We get put into jail, maybe even prison. Mckessie gets out." he says.
"She won't tell."
"If she does I guess we'll have to do something. We have make sure she stays shut up." Cory he says.
"Cory, listen the only evidence there is are the videos." Brenda says. "And as far as I'm concerned they're locked up someplace."
Locked up where?" he snaps at her angry.
"I-I don't know." she says quietly shaking her head. "I saw them when I got on the boat then after that..."
"They just disappeared." Liam says. "I never saw them again after that."
"Me either." they three of them agree.
"We have to find them before someone else does." Alysia says. "I'm too pretty for prison."
"I'd rather not be afraid to drop the soap." Liam says and Brenda and Alysia laugh while Cory glares and begins to walk to his car.
