Arguements, Friends, Anger

Ryan walked home with Gabriella that night and she told him everything. Which of course was a little weird considering Sharpay was Ryans twin, but he was really good at being the considerate friend, nodding in the right places, touched her shoulder everytime she thought she might shed a tear.

"Well Gabi, Troy is my friend and Sharpay is my sister. But last night Sharpay told me how happy she was with Zeke and how she thought there could be a really good possibility of an actual relationship there. I don't think she feels the same way about Troy as he feels about her." Ryan explained, kindly. Gabriella just nodded.

"Well, she did slap him." Gabriella pointed out. Ryan laughed.

"As I expected. Sharpays first answer to shock, fear and hurt is usually violence."

"It is?"

Ryan nodded his reply and sat on the bed next to Gabriella, she rested her head on his shoulder and he put her arm friendly round her shoulders holding him tight to her.

"Gabi, Troy treated you like a jerk, theres no doubt about that. But you'll still be friends with him?" Ryan asked.

"I don't know, if I can just yet."
"Its just, I don't want anybody falling out and having fights over this...its not worth losing friendships over."
"I know, I don't want that either, but I can't speak to Troy. He's hurt me. Maybe he's always been in love with Shar, maybe he's just jealous. But it hurts." Gabriella heaved a sob as she said the last part, her voice cracking. Ryan pulled her in close and gave her a long tight hug, to which she was only glad for.

"Hey? How 'bout we go to the mall, cheer ya up." Ryan looked at her with a face not too different from a little childs, he had such pleading eyes and this is what made Gabriella agree, with a smile.

Sharpay sat at the fountain in the middle of the mall drinking a banana milkshake. Zeke was holding her hand and he could see quite easily in her face that she was troubled and the more he probed and asked, everytime she shook her head in a definite reply she became more frustrated. It was all Troys fault she was feeling like this, she managed to convince herself. If he hadn't come and made that stupid confession today I would be happy right now. Where was it a few months ago? When I had feelings for him? Where was it then when I needed it? Why now?! Sharpay moaned out loud and closed her eyes, Zeke then took a chance and went in for the kill.

He kissed her, which of course made Sharpays heart lift a little and she responded to the kiss, he slowly leaned her backwards, but not too far.

"Eurgh!" Came a voice, to which they stopped and looked as Ryan and Gabriella stood there, Ryan seemed happy and Gabriella certainly had a soft smile on her face. Sharpay suddenly felt quite uncomfortable around Gabriella, she and Zeke stood up quickly.

"Listen Gabi...I" Sharpay started.

"Its okay Shar, its not your fault Troy feels those things. Its him who's the jerk, not you or me. Him." Gabriella said confidently. Ryan gave a triumphant nod, Sharpay smiled gratefully but Zeke was looking very confused.

"Whats going on?" He asked, tightening his grip around Sharpay.

Once they had all filled Zeke in on all that was going on and what had happened between Troy and Sharpay, and what had happened with Gabriella, Zeke sat on the fountain in shock. He was just speechless, and stunned.

"I'm gonna kill him." He breathed, Sharpays eyes widened. "Just kidding." He smiled, "But he had no right to do that to either of you." Zekes eyes were dark with anger.

"I know, its inconsiderate but he was just trying to tell me how he felt." Sharpay reasoned, "We always said we'd have an honest friendship."

"Its not like your dating him, doesn't need to be that honest.." Zeke retorted, moodily.

"But we're best friends Troy and I, I'd hate to know he was keeping secrets from me." Sharpay furrowed her brow in thought. Anger flashed through Zekes eyes.

"Sharpay what the hell?! Now it sounds like he's your boyfriend, not me." Zeke complained.

"I don't know what you're talking about Zeke, you're over-reacting."

But Zeke just shook his head, meanwhilst Ryan and Gabriella who had seen this scene unfold before their very eyes were standing stock still in shock. What had happened to the lovely happy couple only moments before?

"I'm going. I'll call you later Sharpay." Zeke muttered and stormed off, the tension in the air was so thick. Sharpay turned to Ryan and Gabriella in a shocked expression, but also a hurt one.

"What just happened?" She asked in disbelief.
