Boyfriends, Girlfriends and Jealousy?

The very next day, Sharpay walked alone through the main school hallway clicking her heels as she went, with a sour expression on her face. People parted like the Red Sea had done for Moses, except they parted for her in fear. Up at the top of the corridor where she was headed, was her pink locker - the only pink one in the school in fact - but someone was blocking the pink locker. Zeke Baylor.

Why is Zeke standing at my locker? She asked herself as she marched over to him, holding her hot pink cellphone in her left hand.

"Baylor?! What are you doing at my locker?!" She asked him, sharply, folding her arms across her chest.

"Getting to the point, I like that." Zeke smiled as he greeted her with a gently punch on the arm, she looked at where he had punched her in distaste. Zeke swallowed nervously. He held out a plastic bag.

"I baked you some cookies..." He offered the bag to her, at which her face softened and she took the bag of cookies.

"Thanks." She said slowly, as Zeke stepped aside she did her locker combination. 6-22-8 she thought to herself as she did it, and then her locker opened to revieal some tinsel and a mirror, a few books were at the bottom of the locker, she put her cookies in and her bag, taking care not to damage the cookies.

"So is that all?" She said as she slammed her locker door shut, and turned back to Zeke.

"Actually no...can you meet me in the park? After school? Please." Zeke said, looking pleadingly at Sharpay, who smiled a bit. She couldn't help but have a soft spot for Zeke, she secretly adored bakers at heart. Not that she would admit that.

"Yes okay Zeke." She smiled and saw his face light up a little when she said that.

"Great! I'll see you there, after school." She nodded as he said that and then she turned on her heels and walked away, feeling as though she was floating, finally a guy was paying her some attention. Sharpay decided to stop and sneak a glance back to see if he was still there, as she turned he waved at her. He had been watching her walk away, she smiled and waved back before turning around again.

Crap! She cringed to herself, That would have been so cool if I hadn't turned around she thought to herself as she walked into the theatre.

Sharpay was sitting on the edge of the stage it was her free fourth period and unusually nobody was int he theatre. She sighed, bored and swung her legs childishly, listening to the sound of her heels skimming the floor. Eventually she was too bored.

"Guess I'll amuse myself." She said to herself, standing up she walked over to the cd player and picked up the black microphone sitting beside it she pressed play on the CD player. She then placed it on the stand at Kelsi's piano and sat down, she started to play along with the CD. She slowly started to sing, quietly to begin with.

"We were strangers, starting out on a journey

Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through

Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing

At the beginning with you

No-one told me, I was going to find you

Unexpected, what you did to my heart

When I lost hope, you were there to remind me

This is the start"

With that Sharpay got up as the drumbeat began and slowly began to move along the stage as if she was singing with someone else.

"And life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever

Wonderful Journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning

With you"

Sharpay then slowed her movements to a halt and breathed her words quietly.

"We were strangers, on a crazy adventure

Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true

Now here we stand, unafraid of the future

At the beginning with you"

Sharpay moved again softly to the music, to the piano and drumbeat, to the violin and the harp. She smiled, enjoying herself, this was better than nothing thats for sure.

"And life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever

Wonderful Journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning

With you"

Sharpay prepared her voice in her head to start singing the solo, moving herself around dramatically and putting all her emotion into the song.

"Knew there was somebody somewhere

That we love in the dark

Now I know my dreams moving on

I've been waiting so long

Nothings gonna tear us apart

"And life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever

Wonderful Journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning

With you"

The song ended and Sharpay breathed heavily, parly exhausted by the movement and the drama. She heard a clapping and turned to see Troy, she hadn't even noticed him. She blushed a little.

"Troy I didn't know you were here, you should have told me." She said, sitting down at the edge of the stage.

"Well I wasn't till I heard you singing." He laughed and hugged her tightly.

"How are things with you and Gabi?" Sharpay asked, smiling, she liked knowing about their love life.

"Great, we're going out tonight, actually." Troy smiled, happily.

"I'm meeting Zeke in the park tonight." Sharpay smiled.

"Oh?" Troy asked, showing a smile but in his mind he wasn't terribly sure. Stop being selfish... he thought to himself and gave her a hug. "I'm really happy for you if you get together." He smiled and she smiled back returning the hug.

Sharpay walked into the park after school, she was walking slowly and watching the fallen leaves across the small gravel pathways. She saw Zeke sitting on a bench, and her heart softened. He was missing basketball practise to be here she realised. Wondering to herself why she had been so mean to him earlier, she had been like she used to be.

"An Ice Queen.." She muttered quietly to herself when Zeke noticed her walking up the path he smiled, and she saw his eyes light up. She smiled, and felt her her whole mood shift. Sharpay had always had a soft spot for Zeke, she was just afraid that if she acted normal around him, he would see right through her.

"Hey Shar." Zeke smiled and got up to greet her with a hug this time, instead of a punch to the arm. Sharpay smiled and returned the hug, it was tight like he didn't want to let her go, and yet so gentle at the same time.

"Hey Zeke." Sharpay said as they broke apart. "What did you want me here for?" She asked, slowly.

"Well..." Zeke swallowed, and looked at her, they started walking round the park slowly, he continued, "Shar, I've always liked you, thats why I baked you cookies, and why I baked you brownies and all the other things I made." He said, referring back to when Sharpay had recieved the Chocolate Fudge Brownies from Zeke, she had loved them.
"I loved those." She smiled and he looked at her happily.

"Anyway, as I was saying, I really like you Sharpay, and..." He trailed off nervously as they stopped and stood facing eachother.

"Sharpay will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, nervously but that faded away as a smile crept across Sharpays face.

"Yes!" She smiled, and he leaned down slowly their lips met. Sharpays heart felt like it had exploded. Now I'll never be an Ice Queen again... She thought to herself as they kissed.

Troy was walking home from school, Coach had cancelled basketball practise on the account of Zeke not being there, and he was going to drop his bag off before going out to the mall with his girlfriend, Gabriella. He looked into the park, the one he loved looking down at everyday. Just then he saw Zeke, kissing someone. Oh no...Sharpays gonna be crushed... He thought to himself, and then as he saw the long blonde hair, and as they broke apart, he saw the perfect face which was like an angel, he realised it was Sharpay. He dropped his mouth open in shock and ran home quickly. He hadn't expected that to happen.

As soon as he got in the door he threw his bag onto the ground and shut the door quickly behind him, before he ran up the stairs and into his room, grabbing the phone that sat on the table at the top of the stairs as he went. He dialled Gabriellas number and luckily she answered.

"Hello?" Gabriella picked up the phone.

"Hey Gabi its me." Troy said panting a little bit from the run.

"Oh, hey Troy whats up? You sound a little out of breath." Gabriella asked, concerned.

"Just basketball...what you up to?" He lied.

"I was just getting ready to go over to the mall." She said, slowly, confused.

"Oh right, yeah about that, I can't come. My dad said since he cancelled basketball because of Zeke, then I need to practise till dinner." He lied again.

"That is so unfair!" Gabriella moaned.

"I'm really sorry..." He said slowly, and wanted to take it all back instantly.

"Okay well I'll just go see Taylor instead."
"Okay well I better go practise, Dads counting the minutes I am on the phone."
"Okay bye Troy, love you."
"Bye Gabi, love you too."

With that Troy hung up, he felt guilty for lying to Gabriella, but he didn't feel like going out at all anymore, he lay down on his bed and pulled the covers up over his face. I'm being so selfish, of course Sharpay can have a boyfriend I know Zeke will treat her right, he's a great guy. I mean if I have a girlfriend surely she can have a boyfriend? Right? Troy shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know." He muttered to himself.

Hey all, hope you liked the second chapter:) I enjoyed writing it, and if you have any questions just ask. I feel a bit weird about Troy suddenly not wanting to go to the mall with Gabi but hopefully, he explained it enough, he was just so shocked. Anyway time to replied to my lovely Reviewers:
