Chapter 6: Ultimate Betrayal
Sharpay watched her brother and his new girlfriend carefully during lunch. They sat there, laughing and talking to each other. Every once in a while, Ryan would lean in, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
It disgusted Sharpay with every fiber of her being. Her brother was involved with… her? Something had to be done. He had to be stopped.
"Sharpay?" Troy asked her, realizing that she was staring off into space.
"I'm fine," she said, snapping back to reality.
"You don't seem fine."
"I just can't believe that my brother is dating the likes of her." She emphasized the word "her" as though it was a poison.
"I can't either."
"We have to break them up."
"I agree, you have a plan?"
"I don't know."
Troy smiled a wicked smile. "Just give Gabriella what she's always wanted."
"And what's that?"
"Me."
She smiled at him. "I like the way you think."
Gabriella kissed Ryan goodbye as she headed off to her next class.
"Gabby!" A voice called to her.
She turned to see Troy running towards her. "What do you want?" She asked him when he reached her.
"I just want to talk to you," he replied.
"Why? We have nothing to say to each other."
"Look, I've made a mistake. I'm not happy with Sharpay. I want you back."
Sharpay caught up to her brother just as Troy caught up to Gabriella. "So, Ryan, I've forgiven your little mental break down the other day and I agree to be your partner for the spring musical auditions."
Ryan let out a laugh. "Sorry but I already have a partner."
"Are you sure about that?" She asked, gesturing towards Troy and Gabriella.
Gabriella shook her head. "Sorry Troy, I'm with Ryan now."
Troy grabbed onto her hand. "But he'll never love you like I love you."
"I'm sure that he loves me more."
"That's not possible."
"Troy, ge-" She was cut off by Troy's lips against hers.
Sharpay turned to her brother. "Looks like she already found herself a partner," she said.
Ryan stared, dismayed at what he was seeing. "I can't believe it. I should've known that it was too good to be true." He turned around and walked off, his heart breaking.
Troy pulled away from her and looked over to Sharpay, who gave him a signal, saying the plan was complete. "Oh well," he said. "I guess that it will never be again."
She looked down the hall and saw Ryan walking away. Panic filled her as she realized what he must've seen. She ran after him. "Ryan!"
He stopped and looked back at her. "You always wanted to be dating Troy. Now you can." He turned back around and continued walking down the hall.
The situation hit her hard, realizing that she had been set up. Her legs crumpled beneath her and she sat on the floor, crying into her hands. She lost one of the only guys that ever cared for her.
AN: Damn Sharpay and Troy. Anyways, please R&R!
