Feelings on the Heart

Chapter 7- The Real You

Gabriella's P.O.V-

Troy walked me home after we became official. That's right, we're officially together and I couldn't feel happier. I was sitting on my bed day dreaming and zoning out.

My song I thought. I picked up my notebook and a pen and opened to the hidden page right in the middle of the notebook. So far I have…

Cry love
Cry war
Cry innocence
That is lost forever more
Cry joy
Cry thief
Cry beautiful
That is just beyond belief somewhere

I re-red it and thought about it. I erased the lyrics from the page. I had a whole new verse o lyrics flowing out of my head, through my hands, and onto the paper.

(This song is really 'Someone's Watching Over Me' by Hilary Duff)

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

Perfect. It's what I am feeling.

So I won't give up
No I won't break down

I set my pen down as I saw a droplet of water from my face get absorbed into the paper. I was crying. The tears were a mixture of happiness and sadness. I re-collected myself and began to write again.

Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

I glanced at the clock and saw it was 10 PM. I quickly, but gently, shut my notebook and set it on my desk on my way to my dresser for my PJ's. I changed and crawled into bed, thinking of a way I could get my hands on a piano tomorrow.

I walk into school tomorrow with a new found happiness. I tighten my grip on my song book and walk to my locker. I got to school early so I could work on putting a melody behind the lyrics.

I sat down at the piano and start playing some keys. Slowly but surely, music comes from it as I write he music notes down on paper. (A/N: I don't know how one creates music, so bare with me…)

I hear someone clear their throat behind me. I whip my head around and see Sharpay Evans standing there with an emotionless face on.

"Oh….sorry, I'll be out in a sec." I set beginning to clean up my mess.

"No…you can stay, I was just looking for my brother." She said. I turn to look at her and see s happy and friendly looking Sharpay. This wasn't like her. "That was pretty by the way. Your song." She said sitting down next to me.

"Thanks." I said.

"Can I recommend something though?" she asked. I nodded and handed her my music sheet.

She switched around some of the notes and I played the new notes. "I love it." I said. It was really pretty.

"I liked the way you had it before too, I just thought that this might make it a little more unique." She said setting the music sheet down.

"So um…no offense, but why are you being…well….nice to me?" I asked her. She sighed.

"The ice queen that you see during the day is soooo not me. I just have to be careful because the Evans family care known to be the rich snobby people, so I have to make it seem like I am one. But I hate it I could really care less about the money….or the clothes." She admitted. I didn't expect her to say that. That's for sure.

"So…..why then?" I asked her.

"Because it's just something that my parents drilled into my head. They taught me how to walk, talk, and act like a 'true' Evans" she said. "I just wish that I could have one, just one, friend who likes me for who I am." She said.

"Well, I like this Sharpay way better than the other Sharpay, that's for sure." I said.

"Really?" she asked. I nodded. Before I knew it, she had her arms around me in a hug.

"Thank you." She whispered. I smiled.

"So…why don't I introduce you to Taylor, Troy, and Chad. The real you not the mean you." I said.

"I'd like that." She said.

We walked out of the music room, arms linked and smiling as we made our way to our lockers. We sat in front of mine and were talking. But I was silently hoping that my friends would accept the real Sharpay. Not the fake one.

Yes, I know what you're thinking...what's with all the short chapters?!?!?!? I promise this is the last one, this one was kind of a filler, but I wanted to get in some Sarpay and Gabriella stuff. So...yeah...please review!!!
