Sorry for the REALLY late update...

CHAPTER 10: Breaking the Record

"No one can experience only happiness all the time

Nothing can only be wonderful all the time

Sometimes, things need to be horrible or painful

'Cause how can you see a rainbow without a little rain?"

Later that night. The guests left and the party was over but Prince never showed up. Because of it, Sharpay spent her time waiting for him instead of enjoying her OWN BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Gabriella sat next to her, "Sharpay, sweetie, you haven't eaten anything."

"Yeah," the others agreed. "That's not good."

"And I bet you didn't enjoy the party," Jason added.

"You were just sitting there," Taylor said. "And still you are."

"I'm waiting for Prince," Sharpay cried.

Her friends glanced at each other. They felt really bad for Sharpay. Where is Prince? That's the big question.

"Uh…everyone loved your cake," Zeke hoped it will work. "Do you want me to bake another one for you?"

"Cool," Sharpay tried to smile but still upset.

"What should we do?" Chad asked the others, quietly enough that Sharpay won't be able to hear them.

"I-I don't know," Kelsi shook her head.

Mr. Fulton came in, "Ms. Evans?"

"Here," her friends responded for her.

"Um…there's someone who wants to talk to you," Mr. Fulton informed.

"Who?" Sharpay asked.

"Wait, I'll call him," Mr. Fulton said.

He went outside and when he came back he was with a guy wearing a suit.

"Hi," the main greeted them. "My name's Karl…and I'm looking for Ms. Sharpay Evans."

"I'm Sharpay," Sharpay responded. "What can I do for you?"

"I'm Mr. Prince Richards' agent," he said. "He wants me to give you these."

He gave her a bouquet of flowers and a box…bigger that the box for a ring.

"He's so sorry he can't come to your party," he apologized for Prince. "He wanted to come but he needed to fly to London this afternoon for the resume of the filming of his movie."

They all just looked at him.

"I have to go now people," he turned to Mr. Fulton. "I still have a plane to catch."

"Oh yes," Mr. Fulton went out with Karl.

Sharpay read the note on the bouquet, "Happy birthday honey! I'm so sorry I broke my promise. I hope you understand. I love you! Happy Birthday again! Prince."

"Oh no! This strike is a big one!" her friends thought and gulped.

Then, Sharpay opened the box. There was a bracelet full of padlock-shaped pendants and one of them is heart-shaped. There's also a note: THE KEY TO YOUR HEART IS WITH ME ALWAYS. I LOVE YOU.

"Well," Troy decided to break the silence.

Tears roll down Sharpay's cheeks.

"Sharpay," Ryan held her hands. "Happy birthday."

The next morning, Sharpay was lying on her bed and just staring at the ceiling. She's holding her phone, it's time to wake up Prince. Meanwhile, at London, the whole cast and crew didn't had a sleep yet. Suddenly, in the middle of a break, Prince's phone started ringing.

"Sharpay," he answered. "Honey?"

"So you're already awake," she sounded really serious. "No need for me to wake you up."

"N-No no no no no," he said. "Sharpay, I'm really really REALLY sorry."

"For what?" she spunded a little mad.

"For breaking my promise. For beinf here in London," he answered. "I should've told you."

"If it's the promise you're worrying about, I got used to broken promises of yoursm" she's mad now. "You're right, you should've told me. You know, I forgot I was in my own birthday party last night…because I was too busy waiting for nothing."

"Sharpay," he felt like crying. "I'm really sorry. I-I know it's weird that it's all I can say."

"Oh really? Well…here's my weird way of accepting your weird kind of apology," she hung up.

"Sharpay," Prince called out but it was too late. "Oh no!"

"Any problem?" Crystal came over.

"Sharpay's mad at me," Prince replied.

"Who's…S-Sharpay?" Chrystal asked.

"She's my…she's my girlfriend," he was upset.

"Oh. So why is she mad at you?" she asked.

"It's her birthday yesterday and she had this birthday party last nigh," he started explaining. "I promised her that I'll be there but look at where I am. Here. In London."

"You call this work," she said. "This was like scheduled weeks ago."

"I forgot about this so I made that promise. And worse…I didn't tell her about this," he looked down. "I-I left her expecting me to show up last night."

"Oh," she felt bad for both of them. "I want to help you but there's nothing I can do right now. We're both stuck in this film. I guess you need to wait for a month, Prince."

Prince was in deep thought.

Meanwhile, Sharpay was crying on her bed when she heard a knock on her door.

"Friendship?" it was Troy.

"Friendship," she hurriedly wiped her tears and fix herself as she sat up. "Come in."

Troy came in, "How are you?"

"Not that good," she looked down.

"Did you cry?" he noticed her eyes were kind of red and watery.

"I-I…didn't," she tried to lie.

Troy gave her a look, "LIARS go to hell."

"Alright," she sighed. "I did cry."

"Well…I hope my little friend here could help," he smiled at her.

She was a little puzzled, "Huh?"

"I forgot to bring my present for you last night so I decided to bring her here early," he told her. "Hold on ok?"

"Ok," she nodded.

Troy went out. When he went back inside her room. He has a dog with him inside a pink cage.

"Wow!" Sharpay was happy. She loves dogs.

"So…I think she helped. You're already smiling," he smiled. "You like it?"

"I love it," she took the dog out of the cage. "Thank you so much Friendship."

Troy chuckled, "It's a present for you. You don't have to thank me."

"Hmm," she remembered something. "What are we going to call her?"

"Uh…you name her," he said. "She's all yours now."

"Um…how bout…Summer?" she asked.

"Summer?" he raised one eyebrow.

"Well, that's the first thing that popped in my mind," she said. "Besides, I love summer."

"Oh. Great name! Hi Summer," Troy started playing with the pet.

"Friendship?" she looked at him.

"Yeah?" he glanced at her.

"Thank you," she let out a small smile.

Troy laughed, "Oh come on! It's no…"

Sharpay kissed him on the cheeks.

Trot tried hard not to blush, "Uh…y-you…you want to walk Summer?"

"Sure," she giggles.

Then, they went for a walk together with Summer until they reached the park. They saw Kelsi, Taylor, and Gabriella there.

"Hi guys," the three greeted them.

"Hey," Troy and Sharpay smiled.

"What are you doing here?" Kelsi asked.

"We just want to walk Summer," they answered.

"Summer?" they were clueless.

"Who's Summer?" Taylor asked.

"She is!" Troy ans Sharpay pointed at the dog.

"Oh she's so cute," the three stroke the dog's back.

"By the way, Shar, how's with Prince?" Gabriella asked.

Sharpay recalled what happened.

The others gave Gabriella a "not-the-right-time" look.

Gabriella tried to change the topic quickly, "Um, uh…I mean…"

"I got mad at him," Sharpay looked down.

"WHAT??" they were surprised. It's not like Sharpay to get mad at Prince. "YOU WHAT??"

"I'm mad at him," she felt like crying.

Her friends were all worried about her.

"Oh my gosh!" Kelsi can hardly believe it.

"Really?" Taylor was totally shocked.

"No more record," Gabriella said. "Well…your first relationship problem."

"GABBY!!" Kelsi and Taylor glared at her.

"Sorry," Gabriella hugged Sharpay. "You two will be ok Shar."

Sharpay tried to smile, "It's ok Gabby. I just hope you're right."

Troy thought to himself, "Not so fast Troy! They didn't broke up! Maybe just a little fight! You're the bestfriend so comfort her…JUST COMFORT HER!"
