Chapter 7: Silence is the answer
The next morning, Sharpay, Ryan and Lydia are in Lydia's ultra-fancy room
Sharpay: Lydia, I'm not sure about this
Lydia: What do you mean
Sharpay: I mean, sure I wanna help you, sure I wanna break up the happy couple but, I don't want to be the reason they break up
Lydia: Sharpay, Sharpay. You agreed to do this. You cannot back on your word
Sharpay: It's not like we shook on it our anything
Lydia: I'll tell you what, you keep doing this and i wont tell your little friends that you've gained 16 pounds
Sharpay gasps loudly
Ryan: Hey! It's only fifteen!
Lydia: Who's counting? (Looks at Sharpay) Ooops, stupid question
Sharpay: How do you know about that
Lydia: Come on, I noticed the first time I saw you
Sharpay:(looks at Ryan helplessly) Does this mean everybody else knows?
Ryan: No, no I'm sure they don't
Lydia: So that's settled then. You're going to help me?
Sharpay:...I suppose so
Lydia: Good, now get out of my room both of you, I'm going for a really long and bubbly bath
Sharpay and Ryan left the room and walked to the elevator
Sharpay: I miss Zeke
Ryan: What?
Sharpay: I miss him. I miss the fact that he always cared for me no matter what. I miss him baking cookies for me. I miss everything about him. I shouldn't have broken up with him. He wouldn't of cared if I had put on weight.
Ryan: Has my sister revealed true feelings for another human being?
Sharpay:(laughing) I think she has. This is a new me. I'm gonna beg him to take me back
Ryan: What makes you think he'd want you back
Sharpay: I don't know but I have to try
Chad, Troy and Jason are in the dining area, waiting for the girls to arrive
Gabriella, Taylor and Kelsi arrive and walk over to the table
Gabriella: Hi
Troy: Morning. Sleep well?
Gabriella: yeah it was great
She kisses Troy on the cheek and sits beside him. Everybody else is watching them like hawks
Troy: what?
Taylor: Nothing, its just so cute
Troy and Gabriella smile at each other
Kelsi: Where's Zeke
Chad: He said he didn't feel like breakfast
Gabriella: Oh, poor Zeke. He's not really coping well with Sharpay is he?
No one replied, because the others knew the real reason why he didn't want to come down was sitting right next to her
Zeke is walking about the gardens, throwing stones across the lake, wondering whether he could forgive Troy
Sharpay: Zeke!
He sees her coming but doesn't answer
Sharpay: I'm so sorry about dumping you. I wish I hadn't. I miss your kind nature so much! It wasn't a good enough reason to drop you. I wondered if you could take me back
Zeke: What?
Sharpay: Take me back
Zeke: This is unbelievable
Sharpay: I know, I never thought that I would do this…
Zeke: First, you dump me and don't tell me why, then you try to get us all chucked out of the country club, THEN you make out with one of my BEST FRIENDS! And now you're begging for forgiveness and want me to take you back
Sharpay: I... uh..
Zeke: So its true then, you did make out with Troy?
Sharpay didn't know what to say, tell him it was all a lie or to risk having her reputation ruined by the one person she used to look up to. She kept silent
Zeke: Right, I get it. Just got my answer...
And Zeke walked away from her leaving Sharpay feeling rejected and frustrated
to be continued...
