Everything Changes

Chapter 3

Jealousy

"Okay so, first we need to go pick out Troy's tux, then we'll go and get Shar's dress," Gabriella smiled, entangling her hands with Troy's as we walked into the front doors of the mall. "Oh and you also have to get my corsage," she grinned poking Troy in the chest.

"EW, barf bag please," I mumbled under my breath hoping no one would hear me; unfortunately I'm not quite that lucky.

"What was that Shar," Gabriella asked sending me a fake smile.

"Oh, nothing, I was just saying how cute you two are together," I lied through my teeth as I tried not to gag while saying it. "Yeah, right," I mumbled under my breath again, luckily no one heard me this time.

"Oh, here's Men's Whearhouse," Gabriella smiled pulling Troy into the store while I slowly trailed behind them.

"Ugh, Gabriella is this tux good enough or not, because I'm getting really tired of trying on all of these tuxes," Troy whined after about an hour of trying to find the perfect tux for Troy, even though I had suggested the perfect tux about thirty minutes ago, but of course she wouldn't take my suggestion.

"Well, I guess so, take it off so we can buy it," Gabriella groaned standing buy the door of the dressing room so that she could take the tux once he took it off.

"Finally, we're done here," Troy breathed a sigh of relief sitting in the chair next to mine as I sent him a grin.

"Well, what are you going to do, she's a girl and a girl only gets one prom night," I giggled watching him lean his head back as I defended Gabriella for some reason I couldn't figure out.

"Yeah, but the tux you suggested earlier was perfect, why couldn't she choose that one, especially since that was thirty minutes ago," he groaned.

"Wait, you liked that tux," I asked not believing him, since you'd think he wouldn't have liked something his girlfriend didn't, then again he liked me and she didn't, oh well.

"Yeah, it matched perfectly, I can't believe she didn't choose that one," he grinned.

"Well thank you, at least I know that you think I have good taste," I laughed as he smiled at me.

"OK, you guys ready to go," Gabriella asked walking over and ruining our conversation.

"Yep, let's get the hell out of here," Troy sighed as both of us stood up and he took Gabriella's hand.

"Great, oh but what about my corsage, have you called the people about it," she asked stopping Troy from walking out the door.

"Uh, yes, I spoke with them about ten minutes ago and they said that it would be ready for pick up on Tuesday," he said as we all began walking again.

"Great, well then I guess we should go get Shar's dress," she smiled.

"Um, yeah, before we do that, since it's all the way on the other side of the mall, can we stop and get something to eat at the food court I'm starving," I groaned rubbing my stomach.

"Yeah, sounds good to me, I've barely eaten anything all day," he laughed as we turned around and started walking to the food court.

"Alright, well I'm going to go get our food, what do we want to eat," Gabriella asked.

"I could really go for some Chinese food, so I want Panda Express," I said across from Troy.

"Uh, I'm more in the mood for a cheeseburger, I'll eat Dairy Queen," Troy said.

"Alright, I'll be right back, you guys stay here," she said giving Troy a kiss on the cheek. "You had better behave," she whispered into my ear pretending to give me a hug before walking off.

"Pay, are you alright," Troy asked scooting his chair next to mine as he put his arm around me.

"Yeah, everything is just fine, why wouldn't it be," I lied through my teeth.

"I don't know, I guess you just seem a little bit distant is all," he sighed taking my hand in his making shivers go down my spine because of his touch.

"Oh, well nothing is wrong, I have just been thinking about the prom and some other things, it's very frustrating," I laughed as he sent me his oh-so-gorgeous smile.

"Alright, but you know that you can talk to me about anything, right," he smiled again brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Thank you, and yes I know that I can always come to you about anything and everything, that's why you're my best friend," I giggled poking his chest.

"Alright that's good," he grinned pulling me in for a hug. "And your sure that there's nothing you need to talk to me about, right," he pried as we pulled apart from each other.

"Well, actually there is something that I need to talk to you about," I sighed looking down and playing with my hands.

"Ok then, tell me," he stiffened up taking my hands in his again.

"Well, it's basically about Gabriella's and my friendship, the truth is-."

"Sharpay, Troy, guess who I found," Gabriella squealed cutting me off as Troy and I looked up to see Brandon Thorns standing next to Gabriella.

"Brandon, hey, what are you doing here," I squealed letting go of Troy's hands and jumping up to greet Brandon with a hug as he set our food down on the table.

"Well I actually just got here to pick out my tux, but I saw Gabriella struggling with holding the food so I decided to go and help her, then I told her why I was here and she told me that I should shop for my tux with you, so she suggested that I shop with you guys and then brought me over here," he explained putting his arm around my waist as I stared at Gabriella only believing that she could be this nice to me if she were up to something.

"Yep, so why don't we eat and then we can get back to shopping," Gabriella smiled sitting next to Troy while putting her arms around his neck.

"Alright, sounds good to me," I giggled again sitting next to Brandon and eating my food.

Troy's P.O.V

As Brandon and Sharpay sat next to each other and began flirting I kind of felt some pain in my stomach. I couldn't really figure out exactly what it was, but it just kept growing inside of me.

"So Troy, how's basketball season going," Brandon asked taking Sharpay's hand and turning towards me.

"Um, pretty good, but, um, what I want to know is why you decided to ask Pay to prom," I stated putting my burger down and taking a sip of my coke.

"Oh, well I was throwing the football around with some of my boys at the park and then I noticed Sharpay walking with some girl and I walked over to her to start talking with her," he grinned looking over at Sharpay as she smiled like crazy. "Wait she didn't tell you," he asked noticing my dumbfounded look.

"Tell me what, exactly," I asked taking another sip of my coke.

"Sharpay and I have been dating for the past month," he said making me spray the coke right out of my mouth.

"You guys have been dating for a month, Sharpay, why didn't you tell me," I yelled as everyone in the food court stared at us.

"Well, uh, I think it's time to get back to shopping, that or we could just get the hell out of here before troy makes a bigger scene out of this than it already is," she yelled in a whisper glaring at me.

"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me why the hell you didn't tell me about you little football star boyfriend," I yelled again not understanding why I was so mad, but I was furious.

"Troy Bolton keep your voice down, this is a damn public place and your acting like a little kid," she yelled standing up.

"I'll act however the hell I want to act, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my mother," I yelled standing up too.

"UGH, Troy, come with me," she yelled beginning to walk towards the exit.

"No, I don't have to go if I don't want to," I yelled sitting back down in my chair.

"TROY ZACHARY BOLTON, you get your sorry ass outside or I'll kick it out there myself," she yelled with rage in her voice.

"Fine, damn you are being really bitchy today," I said under my breath as I walked past her and out the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you Bolton," she yelled once we were outside.

"What's wrong with me, you're the one who didn't tell me about your dumbass boyfriend!"

"Okay, first off he is NOT a dumbass, you are, and secondly, why the hell do you care if I date anyone or not, do I really have to tell you?!"

"Yeah, I'm your best friend, we're supposed to tell each other everything and I should at least like the guy that you date, I can't stand that dude, he is a conceited, stuck up, jerk," I yelled getting into her face.

"How do you think I felt when you started dating Gabriella, Troy you KNEW that I hated her and you still went out with her, it felt like you betrayed me and didn't give a shit how I felt about your girlfriend," she screamed as tears started to fall down her cheeks. "Technically Troy, a best friend is someone who is ALWAYS there for you, cares about what you think, doesn't let people put them down, and ALWAYS makes time for them, you haven't done any of that shit lately, so I can't exactly consider you my best friend right now," she whispered the last part as she began to cry.

"Sharpay, I'm sorry, I just-."

"No, don't apologize; you know maybe this was for the best, we could never really keep a relationship with anyone else, because we always came first to each other, but that apparently has changed since you started dating Gabriella, and I have NO idea what has gotten into you, but your not the Troy Bolton that I know and love," she frowned turning away from me. "And I think that it would be best if we didn't hang out anymore," she whispered fighting hard to say it.

"Look Pay, I really am sorry, I don't know what came over me, I just felt like-."

"You lost me, even if someone new came into my life, Troy, they could never replace you, you're my best friend, but I can't say that you feel the same way, because I felt like I lost you a long time ago, and I can't take this pain anymore Troy, I-I'm sorry," she cried before running back inside.

"Sh-Sharpay, please," I yelled after her, but she didn't even look back at me once.

"Troy, what happened, Sharpay just ran inside crying, Brandon is taking her home, but what-," she cut off mid-sentence noticing me sitting on the ground with my head on my knees and tear stained eyes. "Oh my gosh troy what happened between you two," she cried running over to me and kneeling down next to me.

"I don't want to talk about it right now, okay, just let me take you home I don't feel like being in public right now," I said standing up and walking towards my truck as she jogged behind me trying to keep up.

The car ride to her house was very quiet, no talking, no radio, just complete and total silence.

"Well, I guess I'll call you later," she asked looking towards me as we stopped at her driveway.

"Uh, yeah, fine, whatever," I replied not really paying much attention.

"Okay, then, um, bye," she frowned kissing me on the cheek before getting out of the truck. Usually I would sit and make sure she made it inside okay, but right now I didn't give a shit about anything so I just drove off.

Once I was home I walked inside and ran straight up stairs not even taking a glance at my parents as they greeted me home.

"Hey Pay," I smiled as I walked into the auditorium.

"Hey Troy Boy," she giggled using her childhood nickname for me and running up to give me a hug.

"So, uh do you want to dance," I asked putting my hand out for her to take.

"I thought you'd never ask," she smiled taking my hand as I led her to the dance floor.

"So where is Gabriella, I don't see her here, in fact I don't see anyone here," she stated putting her arms around my neck and mine around her slender waist.

"That's because we only need each other, well I at least only need you," I smiled brushing a strand of hair out of her face.

"Aw, that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me before," she giggled.

"I love your laugh," I smiled down at her.

"I just love you," she giggled again.

"I love you too," I smiled leaning down to kiss her.

"TROY, TROY, TROY WAKE UP," I heard shaking from all around me as I sat up in my bed instantly realizing it was all a dream. "Geez, you are the HARDEST person to wake up, anyways answer your stupid phone, it has been annoying my sleep for the past hour, whoever it is REALLY wants to talk to you," my little sister Lizzie yelled annoyed.

"Alright, alright, I got it, now go back to bed," I said shooing her off.

Once she was finally out of my room, I quickly ran over to my phone and looked at the caller i.d hoping that it would be Sharpay, but instead it read…Gabriella. Running a hand through my hair I turned my phone off so that she wouldn't bother anyone right now. I didn't feel like talking to anyone, unless it was Sharpay. So I set my phone back on my nightstand and crawled back into bed and fell asleep.

Sharpay's P.O.V

"But Ry, I don't know what to do, I don't want to stay mad at him forever, but he really hurt me, then again it also hurts to stay away from him, dammit Ryan what do I do," I cried into my brother's chest.

"I don't know what to tell you, I know that you love him, but he has to realize why you're mad at him and REALLY apologize to you, don't be weak Shar, wait for him to come to you, that's all I can say right now," he comforted me patting my back.

"That's the advice you have, damn Ryan when did you lose your touch, because that was some shitty advice," I said whipping away my tears and walking upstairs and into my bedroom. "Wait for him to come to you, what is he a fortune cookie," I groaned getting comfortable in my bed. "I mean, come on, that is the dumbest thing I have ever,-" as I was talking to myself I looked over and saw a picture of Troy and me soaking wet. It was taken by Mrs. Bolton, without us knowing, the day of his Championship pool party in the tenth grade as soon as everybody left.

Flashback

"Thank you so much for helping out Sharpay, you are such a sweetheart," Mrs. Bolton smiled as I helped clean up around the house from the humongous mess that everyone made.

"It's no problem Mrs. Bolton, I enjoy helping, plus I helped cause this mess, so I am technically responsible too," we laughed.

"Well, why don't you just go help Troy out he looks like he's stumbling with trying to clean the pool out," she laughed referring to the fact that everyone had thrown everything into the pool.

"Your right, I think he could use a little help," I giggled running out the sliding glass door. "Hey wildcat, having trouble there," I laughed.

"You know it's technically a given that if you destroy someone's house, you HAVE to clean it up," he groaned throwing the pole on the ground and sitting on the side of the pool with his feet in the water.

"Yeah, well you threw the shin-dig, did you expect it to be a cocktail party with Chad and the rest of the wildcats here," I giggled sitting next to him with my feet in the water too.

"No, but I expected them to at least help us clean up," he whined as I gave him a, "you must be kidding me," type of look. "Alright fine I didn't, but at least I can always count on my REAL best friend to help out," we smiled at each other as he put his arm around me.

"Yeah, well, your on your OWN with the pool, I'm exhausted, I think I'll just ask Mrs. Bolton to give me a ride home," I teased standing up.

"Oh you do, huh, well what if I did this," he laughed running up behind me, grabbing me by the waist, and throwing me into the water as I screamed bloody murder.

"TROY ZACHARY BOLTON I AM GOING TO KILL YOU," I screamed at the top of my lungs as I came up for air while he just fell down laughing.

"Ooo, I'm so scared," he said in between laughs. Being the idiot that he really was he of course got close to the water, so I took the chance, grabbed his shirt, and pulled him into the water as I went into hysterics.

"DAMMIT EVANS THIS IS A BRAND NEW SHIRT," he yelled coming up for air.

"Yeah, well this is a brand new outfit, and I just took a shower, so you should have thought about that before you threw me into the water BOLTON," I yelled back.

"Oh, you are SO dead Evans," he laughed swimming over towards me grabbing me by the waist again and throwing me into the water again.

"Ugh, you're an asshole," I yelled coming up for air and splashing him with water.

"Yeah well, what are you going to do," he laughed as I swam up behind him and put my arms around his neck. "I thought you wanted to kill me," he laughed referring to the fact that he was giving me a piggy back in the water.

"No, I'm too tired now, I'll just have to kill you some other time," I smiled as I rested my head on his back and closed my eyes.

"Well then, come on let me go get my mom to take you home," he said as we sat down in the shallow end.

"No, I want to stay here with you," I whined burying my head into his chest.

"Okay then, are you sure," he asked wrapping his arms around me.

"Yes, can you ask if I can stay the night, I don't feel like going home," I grinned ecstatically.

"Yeah, sure, as long as you don't kill me in my sleep I'm fine with that," he laughed pulling me out of the water and carrying me in his arms as I wrapped mine around his neck.

"Thank you, I love you Troy Boy," I smiled resting my head on his chest.

"I love you to Pay-pay," I heard him whisper into my ear before I fell asleep.

End of Flashback

Thinking about that memory I began to laugh and cry at the same time. Before I knew it I was curled up in my bed asleep and holding onto the frame picture.
