Performance, Betrayal and Death-Glares
Sharpay walked into school that morning and smiled as Zeke walked over to her, it had been two weeks since her and Troy had made up and Zeke didn't know yet but Sharpay figured she was going to have to tell him today due to the assignment they had been given from Mrs Darbus last week. Sharpay smirked, her and Troy had worked on it all weekend, and every night after school last week. Coach Bolton had informed them that Basketball Season was officially over so Troy had only been too happy to agree to staying late at night in the theatre. Mrs Darbus had put everyone into pairs of their own choice and she knew Troy and Sharpay would work well together, Ryan and Gabriella were on a team too and a bunch of other nobodies in the Drama Club. Kelsi wasn't taking part but simply helping some of the younger members in the Drama Club get a feel on what they would be doing. She remembered Mrs Darbus' words exactly.
Mrs Darbus stood at the front of the classroom, Sharpay was sitting next to the window and Troy was sitting beside her, drawing funny faces onto the cover of his school book. Sharpay occasionally smiled and giggled with him but she didn't wanna get into trouble today. Ryan and Gabi were sitting behind her and she could hear Ryan sigh the moment Mrs Darbus stood up, she had a reputation for making long speeches.
"Hello Drama Club!" She said cheerfully, but with no response she continued, "Now since it is nearing the end of the school term, I decided it might be fun since Kelsi will be writing the Spring Musicale for after Christmas Break, it might be extra fun to try an assignment!" She smiled as the classroom let out a groan. Gabriella's head fell against the desk.
"Montez lift that head." Mrs Darbus pointed out and continued, "So I am going to let you choose a partner, and you will perform a song to our little audience here next Monday. Please the songs must not be rude of any nature, and not too long. Also remember you only have a weeks notice so not too complicated, but if you turn up unprepared it will be detention for a MONTH after Christmas Break. And we don't want that, that will mean no auditioning for the Spring Musicale!" Mrs Darbus warned. "Now please, get started everyone! Choose your partners and decide on a song between you. No disagreements now !" And with that Mrs Darbus sat down, the classroom bustled to life. People switching seats and speaking.
"Partners?" Sharpay heard from beside her, she turned and looked at Troys expectant face.
"But of course." She replied with a smile, which cause him to grin broadly.
"Hello...earth to Sharpay?" Zeke said playfully waving a hand in front of her face. She snapped out of the history, and smiled at him as he leaned down and kissed her. She couldn't believe they had already been together for 3 weeks and a bit, it had felt like nothing but it had felt like forever, only because of the week she hadn't spoken to Troy. Gabriella and Ryan were all speaking to him now too, it was only Zeke who really wasn't. But Zeke would calm down in time, even though it had already been three weeks. Sharpay smilked in her head, it was set to be the end of term this week, on Wednesday she was free of school for 2 weeks. Blissful weeks...She thought to herself as Zeke pushed her against a locker, still kissing her, they had turned it into a French Kiss now and were being quite passionate. They heard someone clear their throat behind them and stopped, part of Sharpay was glad for it, but she shook that thought off. Zeke turned round to reveal Chad and Taylor standing behind him. Sharpay smiled sheepishly and flushed.
"You two can do stuff like that, alone." Taylor commented as they all started walking along the hallway.
"We're coming to see you guys in our free period today. We spoke to Mrs Darbus, and she said we could come." Chad said smiling, Zeke looked confused. Sharpay bit her lip.
"What? Going to what?" Zeke asked confused, looking at Chad. Taylor looked at Sharpay with a 'you didn't tell him?' look, Sharpay shook her head sheepishly and turned away.
"The performance assignment Mrs Darbus gave Sharpay..." Chad looked at Zeke, Sharpay gave Chad a death look and crossed her arms.
"How come you didn't tell me?" Zeke looked at Sharpay.
"It wasn't important."She shrugged.
"It is to me, you know I'll be there." Zeke smiled, gave her a kiss and walked away to class.
"Great..." Sharpay forced a smile until he was out of sight and then glared at Chad, who held his hands up in the air.
"I didn't mean to! I didn't know! Honest!" He cried out, backing against the lockers.
"Whats he gonna say when he see's me singing and dancing with Troy? He hates Troy!" She hissed and walked over to Chad, hitting his head.
"Stupid!" She cried out, Taylor watched, Chad looked over at her pleadingly.
"You deserve it." She simply said.
Sharpay stood backstage, waiting nervously. Ryan and Gabriella were on just now, her and Troy were the last act, she could feel her stomach churning. Not because she had stagefright, she had performed plenty of times before - she was afraid of what Zeke might think when he saw her dancing with his new found enemy. Troy bounded over to her smiling.
"You all set?" He asked happily. She gave a weak nod and immediately his brow furrowed.
"You okay?" He asked, taking her hand.
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine Troy, just nerves is all." She smiled and took a deep breath, "I'm okay now." Troy hugged her tightly and she hugged him back. She didn't know why he was so happy. But he was.
Soon the crowd was cheering for Gabriella and Ryan and it was their turn, Sharpay let Troy take her by the hand and wait by the side stages as the curtain fell. Gabriella and Ryan walked over to them, they looked so cute in their matching outfit. Sharpay kissed both of them on the cheeks and smiled.
"You were great." She complimented, and they smiled.
"Thanks! Hey good luck man." Ryan hit Troy on the back before leading Gabriella off and backstage. The curtain had completely fallen now and Mrs Darbus was motioning for Sharpay and Troy to get out. Troy ran to the other side of the stage, and Sharpay ran to where she would be just visible on stage right.
(A/N: Sharpay Singing Troy Singing Both Singing)
"Someday, I will find my prince.
He may be far away, but I know he will come
Someday"
Sharpay felt a shudder as her voice echoed through the theatre, she had only spoken there, she looked dead across at Troy who was on stage right, and blocked all thoughts of Zeke out of her mind so she could concentrate 110 on the show. The music started, indicating they had to move so they both walked forward.
"Prince of my dreams, far away
To call my own, some day"
"Oh woah"
"Prince of my dreams, far away
To call my own, some day"
"Yeah yeah.."
The music properly started and they met in the middle, Troy was wearing a light blue suit, he looked quite magical. She was wearing a loose flowing light blue dress with ragged bits down her arms.
"Someday my prince will come
Someday I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my comes to me"
Sharpay turned away from Troy and he moved up behind her slipping his arm around her waist, holding his mic at his mouth.
"He will whisper I love you"
"I love you" Troy whispered in her ear, but the whole theatre heard it because of his mic.
"And steal a kiss or two"
"Just for you" Troy whispered, Sharpay smiled and walked forward from him.
"Though he may be far away
I will find my love someday"
"Someday we'll say and do
All the things we've been longing to
And I'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat"
"Someday, when my dreams come true"
"Somewhere, waiting for me
Theres someone I'm longing to see
Someone I can't help but adore
Who will thrill me forevermore..."
"Someday we'll say and do
All the things we've been longing to
And I'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat"
"Someday, when my dreams come true"
Troy and Sharpay met in the middle, singing to eachother now more than the audience, the music seemed to fade, and the spotlight was just on them. Zeke from where he was standing did not like the look of the way things were going, since when was Sharpay friends with him anyway? Then Sharpay spoke into the microphone.
"Someday, my prince will come.."
"Someday, my princess will come..."
They walked around eachother still always gazing eachother in the eyes.
"And I will find my love..."
"And I will find my love..."
"And on the moment we meet..."
"And on the moment we meet..."
They both leaned toward eachother, as though they were going to kiss, but then the music started up to Zekes relief and they both turned away from eachother.
"Prince of my dreams, far away
To call my own, some day"
"Oh woah"
"Prince of my dreams, far away
To call my own, some day"
"Yeah yeah.."
"Prince of my dreams, far away
"Prince of my dreams, far away
To call my own, some day
Call your own, someday"
"Prince of my dreams, far away
To call my own, some day"
The music stopped, the lights dimmed and they held hands and took a bow, smiling. Zeke growled in his mouth, they looked so happy sparks had practically been flying the whole time they had been performing together, as much as Zeke didn't like it, he guessed he was probably going to have to make a descision that night. Not that he wanted to, but he could see who Sharpay was really in love with, and it wasn't him. Whether she had admitted it or not, it was true.
"Oh my god you guys were great!" Gabriella rushed over o them and gave them each a hug, Sharpay was still quite shocked.
"We were so in tune with eachother it was amazing Shar!" Troy smiled happily and gave her a big hug, she hugged back.
"Anyway me and Gabi are going out for a celebratory dinner, wanna come with?" Ryan asked, putting his arm around Gabriellas waist, to which Sharpay and Troy both shook their heads.
"We don't wanna intrude on your 'alone' time." Troy laughed. Ryan and Gabi shrugged, said their goodbyes and off they went happily to wherever they were having dinner. Troy looked at Sharpay.
"You were so good!" Troy said, grasping her shoulders.
"Nah it was all you really..." Sharpay smiled, shyly.
"Since when were you modest?"
"I dunno, you know what I love though?" Sharpay smiled, and leaned forward.
"What?" Troy looked down at her, his heart surged a little just as it had when they had leaned in to pretend they were about to kiss, Troy would have kissed her there and then.
"When they thought we were going to kiss, and everyone was watching closely. Then we spun away." She said, only she didn't spin away, they just got closer and closer to eachother, soon their lips were almost touching and Sharpay had put all thoughts of Zeke to the back of her mind, she had nearly forgotten he existed. When they closed the gap between them Sharpay couldn't believe it.
She was kissing Troy Bolton.
