CHAPTER 2: Projects

"You know our love was meant to be

A kind of love that will last forever

And I need you here with me

From tonight until the end of time."

When Prince and Mr. Fritz were done talking, Prince told his friends about it. They were all happy. The next day, Sharpay was trying to wake Prince up again.

"Prince?" Sharpay sat on his bed. "I thought you're going to Mr. Fritz's office today."

"Five minutes more honey," Prince was still sleepy.

"Oh come on," Sharpay sighed. "Do I really have to do this?"

"What?" asked Prince.

"This. Wake you up everyday," she answered. "Do I look like an alarm clock?"

Prince laughed, "No, honey. But if you do, you're the most beautiful. Besides, if I'm not going to wake up with you by my side, what's the reason for me to wake up?"

Sharpay felt tingles in her spine, "I know…but you have to get up now."

"How bout your kiss?" he opened his eyes.

"Why don't you get up first then brush your teeth?" she suggested. "After that, you'll have what you want. So…deal or no deal?"

Prince hurriedly get up, "Deal!"

Sharpay laughed at him as he hurriedly ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth. After an hour, at the living room.

"Come on let's go," Prince told Sharpay.

"Um…Prince, I can't go with you today," Sharpay said.

"Huh? Why?" asked Prince.

"I promised Gabriella to go with her to the mall," she answered. "Well, the truth is…I only came here because your mom called me up and asked me to wake you up, you know."

"But we were at the mall yesterday," he insisted.

"Yeah and she forgot to buy some stuffs," she said. "I'm sorry honey."

"Alright," he sighed. "But we're going out tonight ok?"



"Sure," she kissed him. "Good luck!"

"Thanks," he kissed her.

Sharpay drove to Gabriella's while Prince drove to Mr. Fritz's office.

"Prince, sit down," Mr. Fritz instructed him. "I have a good news for you."

"Really?" Prince asked.

"Yes," Mr. Fritz smiled. "Wanna know?"

"Sure," Prince nodded.

"You are going to have a part at Chrystal Oman's concert," Mr. Fritz told him. "What do you think?"

"Wow!" Prince smiled. "That's a break for me!"

"BIG BREAK, that is!" Mr. Fritz smiled back. "Chrystal's one of the most popular celebrities today. And being part of her concert is a great opportunity."

"Yeah, I know sir," Prince was excited.

"I told you to bring a lot of your compositions, right?" Mr. Fritz asked.

"Yes. I have them sir," Prince pointed his bag.

"You're going to sing for Mr. Williams later. He owns the BIGGEST recording company in the world," Mr. Fritz informed him. "If you'll satisfy him…maybe from City Light's best performer you'd turned out to be the next recording artist OR…world's big star."

"Oh what can I say?" Prince was overjoyed. "Sounds great!"

Meanwhile, at the mall with Sharpay and the other girls.

"I'm really sorry I ruined your plans with Prince today," Gabriella felt guilty.

"Oh come on Gabby, I'm here now and don't worry about that," Sharpay smiled. "Prince does understand that."

"Good thing your guy's like that," Gabby sounded sad. "Unlike mine."

"Gabriella," Taylor and Kelsi tried to cheer her up.

"Why? What's wrong with Chad?" asked Sharpay.

"Nothing. It's just that…he can't say no to Team's Captain," Gabriella answered. "He was supposed to come with us today but where is he? Down at the beach with his OTHER friends."

"But he promised to make up with you, right?" Kelsi tried to help.



"Yeah," Taylor added. "Troy Bolton's really a jerk, you know. He doesn't have a girlfriend so he ruins a relationship."

"Why don't we just continue with our little shopping down here before the whole mall will be filled up with tears?" Sharpay joked. "Gabby, don't think Chad doesn't care about you anymore. He cares so much about you ok?"

"I hope," Gabriella sighed.

Then, Gabriella tried to cheer up with the help of her friends. Later that afternoon, Prince called Sharpay.

"So how was with Mr. Fritz?" asked Sharpay.

"Great!" Prince exclaimed. "But…I miss you."

Sharpay giggles, "I miss you, too."

"How bout shopping with the girls?" asked Prince.

"Fabulous….like always," Sharpay laughed.

"Hey honey. Don't forget, we're still going out tonight alright?" he reminded her.

"Yeah, I won't forget," she replied. "What's that for anyway?"

"Well…I just wanna take my girlfriend out on a date," he answered. "And…I have a good news to tell you."

"What's that?" she asked.

"Wait till tonight," he said. "I'll pick you up at 7 ok?"

"Ok," she sounded excited.

"I love you," Prince told her sweetly.

Sharpay blushed, "I love you too."

As soon as they hang up the phone, Sharpay's friend teased her.

"You know, you guys are really perfect for each other,"Gabriella said.

"All that's missing is the wedding," Taylor smirked.

"And the baby to make the family complete," Kelsi added.

"Shut up! I'm only 17, you know, and Prince is only 18," Sharpay said. "There are a lot of other more important things Prince and I should think about right now…before going to that stage."

"You have a point in there," Kelsi nodded.



"You know, there are lots of people jealous on your relationship," Taylor told her. "And honestly, I'm one of them."

"Really? Why?" Sharpay asked.

"I'm jealous too," Gabriella confessed. "Well, you've been together for almost THREE years now and take note: NO FIGHTS!"

Sharpay smiled, "That's because we love each other."

"EXACTLY!" Taylor exclaimed. "You're really lucky to have a boyfriend like Prince. It's really hard to find a guy like that nowadays. Prince loves you sooooo damn much!"

"So don't you ever set him free," Kelsi adviced. "Girl, you two are so meant to be."

Sharpay smiled.

That night, Prince took Sharpay to a lovely restaurant. They had a dinner date.

"Did I tell you already that you look beautiful?" Prince smiled.

Sharpay blushed, "Yeah. More like a thousand times tonight."

"But you really look beautiful," he insisted. "And I'm willing to say it a million times more."

"I know," she giggles.

"Do you wanna know the news now or later?" asked Prince.

"Come on, tell me now," she replied.

"Alright. Well, I'm going to sing at Chrystal Oman's concert," Prince sounded excited.

"Wow! That's great!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah," he agreed. "Guess what? I'm going to start recording songs for my album this week."

"Wait. Album? So you're going to have an album?" Sharpay was so happy for him.

Prince nodded, "And more projects are line up."

"Oh congratulations!" she exclaimed.

"Thanks!" he smiled. It's all because of you."

"What?" asked Sharpay. "This is your dream, right?"

"Right. My dreams are slowly coming true because of you, Sharpay," he smiled at her. "You're my inspiration. And I want to start earning money for OUR future."

Sharpay smiled.



She knows her friends were right. She is really lucky to have Prince. And, Prince is also lucky to have Sharpay.
