"Dammit, Sharpay where were you yesterday night? I left you loads of messages and I called you twice and even came over!! Where the hell were you?" Gabriella demanded in the girls' toilet.
"I'm sorry, Gabby but, um.. you see..." Sharpay said and trailed off.
"What? What's wrong, Shar?" Gabriella said in a softer voice. "What happened?"
"Ok. Promise not to get mad?"
"Yes, I promise," Gabriella said and took Sharpay's hands. "Now, tell me everything."
"Well.. I got a text from Troy yesterday, saying ot meet him at his apartment," Sharpay said and stopped when she saw Gabriella's shocked face.
"Only I didn't know it was from him!" Sharpay said quickly. "He sent me the text via your phone! I think he stole it or something."
"Ugh! I found my bag at Lost & Found yesterday. I think he took it," Gabriella said.
Sharpay looked down at her feet. She was wearing her new black kitten heels that her mom had shipped from Paris. She didn't know what label they were, but she loved them. "Um, anyway, he tried to make a move on me, but I kicked him in the crotch. Then he offered me a drink, and I was just really thirsty and dehydrated and I just took it. But he'd drugged it but I didn't know," Sharpay admitted.
Gabriella sucked in her breath. She knew what was coming next. "So.. he F'ed you up?"
"Uhmm yeashh.." Sharpay said and shifted her gaze from her feet to Gabriella's eyes. She tried to find some answers in them, but they were distant, as if she weren't even here.
"Gabby...?" Sharpay asked and shooked her gently.
Gabriella blinked a few times and gulped. "Oh, Sharpay.."
Sharpay raised her eyebrows.
"I... forgive you, Shar."
"Oh thank goodness," Sharpay said, relieved and hugged Gabriella.
"But we've got to have revenge," Gabriella said angrily. She dropped Sharpay's hands and balled her hands into fists. "I want to give him a revenge he'll never forget," she said darkly.
"Whatever you're doing, I'm with ya," Sharpay said and put her hand on Gabriella's shoulder.
Gabriella gave SHarpay a quick peck on the lips and dashed out of the bathroom. "T.T.Y.L, Shar, I've got to talk to someone," she said and ran off, without waiting for a reply.
