Yea! I actually updated some of my other stories last night! Now I don't feel so guilty writing this one…check out my profile to read them!
Chapter Three: Sharpay's Secret
AT CAMP:
"Come on, Sharpay, the water fight's great!" Chad called.
Troy, Gabriella and Chad were all in the warm ocean water, but Sharpay was sitting on a beach towel on the sand. She shook her head. "I don't want to swim right now."
She got up and ran to the bathroom. Gabriella watched her, and Troy put his hand on her shoulder. "Gabi, are you alright?"
"I should go see if she'll tell me what's wrong with her."
"Okay, if you feel that that's what you need to do."
Gabi got out of the water, while Troy watched her go. She wrapped her towel around her rainbow-colored bikini and ran towards the bathroom. Chad saw why Troy was looking at her.
"Man, she's hot, Troy! I would just climb into bed with her and-" Chad began.
Troy gave him a look. Chad's mouth closed slowly and his smile faded. "Sorry, Man."

When Gabriella got to the bathroom, she found Sharpay sitting on the bench by the lockers. Actually, she heard her before she saw her. Sharpay was crying. Gabi put her arms around her and hugged her.
"Sharpay, what's wrong?"
"Gabi, I can't go swimming…because…because…I just don't feel good."
"You felt fine before we came to the beach. Are you just scared to go swimming? Is that why you didn't want to come to camp?"
"No. Just…I can't tell you why."
"Yes you can. Or maybe you could talk to Pastor Deschanel or his wife, Charity."
"I can't talk to them about it. They wouldn't understand."
"Maybe I can. Please give me a try."
"Okay, here goes."
Gabriella nodded at her, urging her to go on.
"I just don't think God could ever love me for this."
"God loves you no matter what."
"But…I don't understand how He ever could after what I've done."
"What'd you do?"
"I…I got pregnant. With Chad's baby. I don't know what to do, Gabi."
"Wait…so you're pregnant?"
Sharpay nodded, still crying. Gabi hugged her even tighter than before. "Oh, Sharpay. God will forgive you if you just ask Him to."
"Really?"
Gabi nodded eagerly. "Of course."
"You mean He still loves me?"
"He still loves you. And He loves Chad, too. He even loves this baby," Gabi said, touching Sharpay's stomach.
"How can He love the baby? It's not even here yet."
"He loved every person on earth and every person to yet be born when Jesus died on the cross. He thought of you, and Chad, your baby, me, Troy, even Mrs. Darbus. He died for us. There is no greater love than the love of our Savior."
By this time, Sharpay was crying tears of joy and happiness. "You mean He can forgive Chad and I for all of the mistakes we've made?"
"He can. All you have to do is ask."
"Can you help me ask?"
"Sure." They prayed together, and Sharpay asked for forgiveness of her sins. But the most important thing that happened in that bathroom was that Sharpay gave her life to God.

Troy and Chad watched intensely for the girls to come out. When they finally did, they saw that both were smiling and happy.
"Come on, guys! Group meeting in Sharpay and I's cabin," Gabi shouted to them.
When they got to the girls' cabin, Sharpay kissed Chad's cheek. "Chad, we need to talk."
"Alone or in front of them?"
"Either way."
"Okay, they can stay. What's up? We aren't breaking up are we?"
"No Chad…I'm pregnant."
Troy just about died when he heard Sharpay say those words. He knew something like this would happen if they kept on doing what they were doing. Gabi elbowed him to keep him quiet.
"Pregnant?" Chad repeated.
"Yes, Chad. I'm so sorry."
"Chad," Troy said. Gabriella gave him a look, but that didn't stop him. "See?"
Chad had begun to cry.
"Chad, it's okay. We're gonna be okay, because God loves us. He forgave me for my sins. I accepted Jesus as my Savior, and I think you need to do the same thing," Sharpay said.
"He forgives this kind of stuff?"
She nodded eagerly. She led him to Christ. Troy smiled at Gabriella. Their plan had worked. Their best friends were Christians now.

Together, the four friends went to the campfire that evening. Troy and Gabriella introduced Chad and Sharpay to Pastor and Mrs. Deschanel, who warmly welcomed them into God's Kingdom and their church. Chad and Sharpay discussed the baby issue with them, and Charity offered to help get them into special classes and even offered some advice on telling their parents. They even gave them brand new Bibles.
They sat around the fire, eating smores and singing praise and worship songs with the other 200 teen members of their church. With Gabi and Troy's help, the church now had two new members, who in turn, would add fifteen other members: Ryan, their parents, Jason, Kelsi, Mrs. Darbus, various other classmates and of course, their new baby.
Don't worry: This sounds like the end, and it was. Kind of. It was the end of the main plot. Still to come:
The birth of Chad and Sharpay's baby
Troy and Gabi's Wedding and their ability to now have sex (no scenes, just slight references)
And more if you guys will give me some extra ideas, such as Troy and Gabi having a baby or something else that is appropriate for teenagers. God Bless All Of You! Sharayah
