"Troy I forgot to tell you Sharpay is here" Jess said appearing next to him "Oh! I guess I'm late"
Troy kept staring at Sharpay and Sharpay at Troy. He half hoped he hadn't found out about this. The image of her kissing his cousin made him sick. He had always liked Aaron but now he just wanted to punch him really hard in his face
Araon broke the silence "Troy! My favorite cousin! It's been so long since we last saw each other!"
"Yeah" Troy said distractedly still gazing at Sharpay
"So you know her Troy?" Aaron asked him
"They are classmates" Jessica said
"Friends" Troy corrected her. She frowned
"Come sit here! We haven't talked in ages!"
"I don't want to interfere with you two" Troy said closing his fist and smiling fakely
"You won't" Aaron said but Troy still didn't move
"Come on Troy" Jessica pushed him forward and the two of them seated on the bed next to Aaron and Sharpay
"What have you been doing lately?" Aaron asked him
"You know. The usual. Basketball, hanging out with Chad"
"Am I the only one not playing basketball? Everyone does. Sharpay, Jess, you, Chad, Ryan…" he said counting them with the fingers
"Talking about basketball, I'll be going to your next game Jess"
"Really? Oh thanks Troy! I'll go to yours then. You wanna go?" she asked Sharpay
"Sure" she said smiling
"If you go to the girl's game I'll go with you Troy" Aaron said "To keep you company"
"Don't worry about it. Chad's going too" Troy said immediately, not wanting him near Sharpay when he was around. He couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Oh. Better that way. Cause I have this big test on Monday and won't be able to study much on Sunday"
"Why not?" Troy asked
"The party they throw after every game. You should go. They are really fun and finish around 6 am so I sleep till 7 pm" he said laughing
"You sleep that much?" Troy asked laughing too
"He does" Jess said
"So are you going to the party?" Aaron asked him
"Maybe" Troy said shrugging
"Will you drive Shar to her house after it?"
"Hey I know how to drive!" Sharpay said offended
"I know babe it's just I don't want you to be alone at night" he gave her a quick peck on the lips
"I guess it's getting a bit late. It will be dark in some minutes so I'll go" Troy said suddenly
"But you said you were staying for dinner!" Jess protested
"Yeah well, I just remembered I have some homework to finish" he lied
"Ok" Jess said disappointed
"Shar is Ryan picking you up?" Aaron asked her and she nodded "Why don't you tell him not to come and go with Troy? He's right. It's getting dark"
"Ok" Sharpay said and called her brother. She didn't really wanted to be alone with Troy right now but Aaron insisted.
"I'll wait for you downstairs Sharpay" Troy said and left the room, followed by Jess
Sharpay didn't say anything. He called me Sharpay. Not Shar she thought a bit disappointed
"See you on Saturday I guess" Aaron hugged her
"Yeah" Sharpay said distractedly and hugged him back "Bye" she went downstairs "Bye Jess. See yah!" she walked to Troy's car
During the ride neither of them said anything. Troy didn't want to talk to her. He was too confused. He had tried to act naturally at his cousins' house but now he was not pretending anymore. Sharpay just didn't know what to say
Troy stopped the car at her house
"Uhm, thanks for the lift Troy" she said
"Welcome" he said in the corner of his mouth. She looked at him but he kept staring at the window
"Bye Troy. See you tomorrow" she said before getting out of his car
Troy had a difficult time to get asleep so at the morning he was really tired
"Hey Troy" Chad walked to him at school "You look like shit man! What's wrong?"
"Everything's wrong in my fucking life" he said moodily
"Wow man!" Troy said surprised "Tell me"
"Sharpay is dating Aaron! My cousin!" Troy said
"Oh dude! That's not good"
Troy looked at him "Really? I hadn't realized that!" Troy said sarcastically
"Ok Troy listen. First of all calm down cause your head is almost on fire. Better now. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know man! I'm lost" Troy shook his head
"Have you talked to her?"
"Course not! If I had I would have probably yelled at her. I was kinda mad at her cause she didn't tell me"
"With good reason! I mean, he's your cousin!" Chad said
"Chad you're not helping!"
"Sorry dude" the bell rang "Oh no! Hamlet thing again!"
"Great!" Troy said moodily "Now I have to be with Sharpay a whole period"
"Good! You can talk to her"
"I don't know if I'm ready"
"Oh Troy come on! Don't be such a loser! She's your friend chicken!"
"You know what? You're right. I'll do it! I'll go talk with her now!" Troy said plucking himself with courage
"Ok Indiana Jones. Let's go to homeroom or the only person you'll be talking with will be Mrs. Darbus. In detention!" Chad dragged Troy all the way. Chad gave him thumbs up and went to seat with Taylor. Troy went and sat next to Sharpay, trying not to make too much noise so that she didn't hear him but unluckily she had eyes and saw him
"Hey Troy" she greeted him "Didn't hear you coming"
"That was the idea" he muttered to himself
"Are you ok? You look a bit pale" she asked in a concerned voice
"Yeah I'm fine. Not a morning person. Just that" he lied
"Ok then. So what do you think about it?" she asked smiling
"About what?" he lifted an eyebrow
"Me and Aaron duh!"
Troy muscles tightened. He wasn't quite ready for that question "Uhm, it's ok I guess"
Sharpay's jaw dropped "It's ok I guess?! What kind of answer is that?! What's wrong with you?"
"I'm just…" but he couldn't find the words "Why didn't you tell me? Aren't we friends? Don't friends trust each other?" Troy was letting most of his feelings out
Sharpay stared at him "Yeah we are friends but I don't think you've told me every detail of you so you can't blame me for not telling you this! Or have you told me who you love?"
Sharoay words kept playing in his mind. He hated to admit it but she was right. How come she's always right? "I guess you're right Shar. Sorry" he apologized
"It's ok Troy" she smiled at him
"So how long have you been dating?" Troy asked trying to sound interested
"Just a month"
"Oh you're just getting started then. I hope you get on well" he said not really meaning it
"We do. But we don't see much of each other, you know. Just twice or once a week"
"That sucks!" he hide his smile
"Tell me about it" she sighed and smiled at him "So when's your game?"
"Friday. The after party is at Zeke's house. You're coming right?"
"Sure. Hey do you know if Chad told Taylor about me cause she's been looking at me weirdly all day"
Troy turned and saw Taylor looking in their direction "I have no idea but it looks like he did. Ask him later" he suggested
"Ok. Do you think she'll be nice to me?" she asked him nervously
"Of course she will. She's nice to everybody"
She sighed in relieve "Thanks God. It would be great to have a friend at school with whom I could talk about girl stuff"
"I'm sorry I can't do that" Troy said laughing "But maybe we can talk about, how do you girls call them? Oh yeah. Hotties!"
Sharpay started giggling "Don't even go in there!"
"I was just kidding"
"I know" Sharpay smiled at him "Do you think I should tell Gabriella?"
"I do. Besides if you don't I'm sure Taylor will. Why don't you sit with us at lunch and tell her?"
"With you? Say Gabriella, Taylor, Chad, Zeke, Jason and you? I don't know. You're too many" she wasn't ready to tell them all
"Come on! Please!" Troy begged her
"Ok you win" Sharpay soled her eyes "I'll do it"
Troy smiled broadly "Cool. Do you wanna hang at my house after school?"
"Ok but I've got hip hop lessons later so I won't stay long"
"That works for me" the bell rang "Gotta go. Basketball practice. See yah Shar" he got up and left
"Her Sharpay can we talk?" someone said behind her. She turned surprised
