Chapter 2

Blackmail

Looking at the name on my phone the only thoughts running through my mind were mainly trying to figure out how they even could work up the decency to call or in this case text me after what just went on.

So instead of just sitting in my car while staring at the name, I decided to read what it said.

Meet me at the park in five minutes, we need to talk.

Once I finished reading the text I stared at it for a minute trying to figure out if I should meet them at the park. Thinking about it for a few minutes I decided to just go ahead and get it over with. So I turned the key to start the engine and drove down to the park.

As I was driving down the road I noticed that I had seven unread messages, so I picked up my phone to scroll through the messages and noticed that some were from my mom, another from my dad, a few from Kaitlin still wondering if everything was okay, but mostly they were from, of course, Ryan, apparently Kaitlin told him something was wrong. Instead of replying right back like I always do, I turned my phone off and put it back into my handbag.

As I pulled onto the side of the rode, I got out of my Range Rover and looked around the park to see if I could find them, but I just saw kids running around in the playground and couples sitting and cuddling by the lake (damn them.)

"Sharpay, over here," I heard someone call my name as I turned to walk towards none other than the bitchy Gabriella. "Okay, so according to Troy the only way that I can get back together with him is if I learn to accept the fact that you two are best friends and I can't change that," she mimicked Troy as I smiled a the thought of Troy choosing me over his girlfriend. "So what I'm thinking is that when Troy is around, we'll pretend to get along."

"What, no way, you must be on drugs or you're just naturally psychotic, I never wanted Troy to date you in the first place, and now that he is finally coming to his senses, I'm not going to stand in the way of that," I grinned crossing my arms over my chest.

"Oh please Sharpay, just give it up already," she yelled getting up in my face.

"Give WHAT up?!"

"I know the only reason you don't want me going out with Troy is because you're jealous!"

As the words flooded out of her mouth I backed away from her, "Okay seriously Gabriella, why the HELL would I be jealous?!"

"Because ever since the day I met you, you've always looked at him with this gleam in your eye and that stupid smile always plastered on you face, just admit it Sharpay, you are in LOVE with MY boyfriend," she grinned knowing she won this battle. "But the problem is, does he feel the same way," she smiled even bigger seeing my eyes fill with tears.

"Ok Gabriella, that proves it your psycho, Troy and I are just best friends, that's all we're ever going to be," I lowered my voice knowing that was the truth.

"Well, duh, that's because he only sees you as a best friend and nothing more, you on the other hand have been in love with him since day one," she smiled circling me.

"Ok, seeing as how you have this crazy idea that I am in love with my best friend, then if you knew all along, why the hell did you go after him," I yelled making people in the park start to stare at us.

"Because, when I met Troy I knew that I wanted him, and I was not going to let some Barbie doll princess screw that up, even though you are in love with him," she smirked stopping in front of me.

"Wow, you really are a little bitch, am I the only one who knows the real you," I smirked watching her smile grow bigger.

"You know Sharpay the only reason I am such a bitch to you is because you are in the way of me being with Troy and I don't like that."

"Well too bad, because you are not getting back with Troy and there is nothing you can do about it, now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go to Troy's house, buh-bye," I grinned waving and trying to walk away, but she pulled me back.

"Not so fast, if I can't be with Troy than neither can you so either you do what I do and act nice when we're around Troy or your friendship with Troy is over," she grinned amused.

"Oh please telling troy that I am in love with him is not going to end our friendship," I said trying to walk away, but she pulled me back once again.

"Oh no Sharpay, I'm not saying your sick love for Troy is going to end you friendship, I have more and very depressing news that I can tell him that will instantly end your friendship," she snapped.

"Oh, yeah, what could you possibly have on me, you barely know me," I panicked playing with my finger nails.

"Nothing your slutty little head needs to think about, all you need to be thinking about is trying to develop a fake friendship with me so that I can get back with Troy," she smirked as I glared her down. "So I will see you later your heiness, and like you always say, tootles," she giggled walking back to her car while I just stood there glaring in her direction.

As soon as she was gone I stomped my foot and houghed making more people in the park stare at me right before I stomped back to my car.

"I cannot believe that whore, plus what could she POSSIBLY have on me," I argued with myself putting the key in the ignition and driving down the road to Troy's house to see her car parked in the driveway as I pulled up behind it.

As I stepped out of my car I slammed the door shut and another way to release my anger even more I kicked her tire with my heels right before I walked up to Troy's door and rang the doorbell.

"Hey Pay," Troy smiled giving me a very long and tight hug. "Gabriella just told me that you guys worked everything out, this is great, come on in," he smiled happily putting his arm over my shoulders and guiding me to the living room.

"Hey Shar," Gabriella squealed running up and giving me a very awkward hug, but since I didn't know what she had on me I decided to not risk the chance of losing Troy.

"You are a total and complete bitch," I whispered to her.

"Yeah, whatever, but remember I've got you," she whispered back reminding me of the blackmail.

"This is seriously awesome, my two best girls are finally best friends," Troy grinned, making me cringe at the thought of being best friends with that whore, putting his arms around the both of us.

"Yeah, well you know I would do anything for you Troy," I grinned telling him the truth; I would do anything for him, even if it was acting like her best friend.

"Thanks Pay, hey why don't we all go shopping," he asked walking into the kitchen with Gabriella and me behind.

"Yeah, that would be so much fun, how about it Shar," she grinned at me.

"Y-yeah, that sounds like fun, let's go," I smiled as Gabriella grabbed my hand and pulled me outside. "What makes you think that I can pull this off much longer," I yelled in a whisper.

"Because, do you want Troy out of your life," she asked knowing damn well what the answer was.

"No, of course not," I whispered looking down.

"Well that's all you have to think about when you feel yourself ready to crack."

Before I could get anything out of my mouth Troy stepped outside. "Hey, um are you ladies just going to stand there all day and talk or do you want to go shopping," he laughed grabbing Gabriella's hand and walking to his car right before he opened the FRONT seat for her, even though that has always been my seat. But instead of making a fuss out of it I just hopped into the seat behind him.

"Ok so we are right now going to find a tux for me and a dress for Pay, right," Troy asked not really knowing what he was looking for.

"Yes and you also have to get a corsage for me," Gabriella said turning the radio up a little so we could hear seventeen forever by Metro Station.

"Yeah, but before we head to the mall do you think we could head by my house I need to check in there real quickly," I asked.

"Um, sure, but why do you have to check in, you haven't had to check in at your house since you were like eleven," Troy asked turning onto my street.

"It's a long story," I sighed grabbing the keys out of my bag.

"Alright here we are," he said as we pulled into the driveway.

"Oh, can I come inside, I've always wanted to see your house," she smiled, but I could tell she wasn't lying.

"Um, yeah, sure, but it's nothing fancy," I said.

"She's lying its very, very, VERY fancy," Troy whispered to Gabriella, but loud enough for me to hear.

"Oh shut up Troy," I giggled playfully smacking him on the chest as he laughed and rubbed my back.

As we walked through the door of my 'mansion' I ran upstairs to see Ryan while Gabriella and Troy slowly followed behind as Gabriella observed the house.

"Hey Ry," I smiled bouncing into his room.

"Sharpay, hey, is everything okay, you never called me back or answered any of my texts, what's wrong," Ryan worried hugging me.

"Chill Ry, I'm fine, I didn't call or text you back because I was in the middle of something," I laughed calming him down. "I guess you've been talking to Kaitlin, right?"

"Yeah, she called me right after she got off the phone with you and she said you sounded upset, and then she said that you were fighting with Gabriella and Troy and-."

"Ry, I'm fine Katie was overreacting, I mean yeah we had an argument, but everything is fine now," I laughed putting my hand over his mouth.

"Wow, Sharpay, you have a nice place, I wish I lived here," Gabriella said walking into Ryan's room.

"Whoa, GABRIELLA, what are you doing here, you guys hate each other," Ryan said caught off guard.

"Oh, that's the past Sharpay and I are friends now, right Shar," Gabriella giggled walking up and putting her arm around me.

"Yeah, we, uh, worked everything out, so I'll call Katie and tell her that everything is seriously fine now," I grinned, thinking of Troy.

"Oh, well, it's just, I SERIOUSLY never thought that I'd see the day," Ryan confusingly stated.

"Yeah, me neither, but they did it for me and I have to admit that I am really happy that there won't be anymore tension in the room from now on," Troy happily said putting his arms around the two of us.

"Well okay, if you say so," Ryan scrunched his eyebrows.

"Yeah, well we better get going," Troy sighed walking over to the door with Gabriella, of course, by his side.

"Where are you guys going," Ryan questioned.

"The mall, we have to get our prom outfits ready," Gabriella smiled.

"Yeah, do you want to come," I asked hoping and praying the answer would be yes.

"Um, sorry I can't, I have to go work on a book report with Kels, but I'm sure you'll do fine without me," Ryan answered grabbing his book from his desk.

"Well that's cool, but if you do decide to come just give us a call and we'll meet somewhere," Gabriella said sincerely, of course being nice to Ryan like she always is. "I guess we should get out of here, come on Shar."

"Yeah, alright, bye Ry," I smiled about to walk out the door like Troy and Gabriella already did when Ryan pulled me back.

"What's going on, there is NO way that you are friends with Gabriella, you HATE her," he said apparently realizing that something was up.

"How did you figure it out," I questioned turning to look at him.

"Um, hello, I am your twin, meaning we have that twin telepathy, remember," he stated as I just looked at him funny. "Okay, well, I guess I kind of noticed when you thought I wasn't looking and you glared at her."

"Oh, well, I'll tell you later what's going on, but right now I have to go spend the day with the happy, sweet couple, Troyella," I groaned at the last part.

"Sorry Shar, I wish I could come, but I really do have a book report to do, good luck," he supported while giving me a hug.

"Thanks Ry, well I guess I'll see you later, and you better be here, because I know I'm going to need someone to vent to and you are the perfect person," I grinned seeing him smile before I walked downstairs and out the front door to see Gabriella and Troy standing by the car giggling and kissing, oh man where is a barf bag when you need one.

"Hey Pay, what took you so long," Troy stopped kissing Gabriella to look at me.

"Ryan and I, uh just needed to talk for a minute, he was kind of confused about Gabriella and me," I cringed at the mine and Gabriella's name in the same sentence as I got into the seat behind Troy's.

"Alright well, are you ladies ready to head off," Troy smiled closing the door.

"Yep, most definitely," Gabriella giggled holding Troy's hand while he placed a few kisses on it. Boy was this going to be a long day.
