Chapter 4: I'll Sing With Her

"Just leave me alone, Bolton!" she exclaimed. She was out of sight. All Troy kept on thinking about was How did she get that scar?

Sharpay ran to the only place she can think of. The bathroom. She looked around. "God dammit. This is like the hundredth time I've gone in here." she said to herself. She then walked to the large mirror, and lifted her shirt, to reveal the scar. She began to cry. "Why did he see it? Why? Now he is going to tell his friends and then… I don't even want to think of what they would do." She began to sob. Just then the girl's bathroom swung open. "Sharpay? Are you okay?" said a voice.

"Yeah Jenna. I'll be out in a minute." Sharpay said, trying to hide the fact that she had just been crying.

"Are you sure?" Jenna asked.

"Yeah, I am. Just wait outside." she told her. She quickly got out the items she needed and touched up her make-up. She quickly put everything back and walked outside. "Hey Jenna. Any information?" she asked.

"Um… yeah. Ryan left early." she said.

"Wait? What did you just say?" asked Sharpay.

"Um, Ryan left early." Jenna said, repeating word for word.

"Why?" she asked.

"He said he didn't feel good."

"What a baby."

"Aren't you late for your next class." Jenna asked.

"Aren't you?"

"No. I have a free period."

"Well we all can't be lucky. Anyway, I'm just gonna ask Ms. Jolly to write me up an excuse. She is such a pushover. Anyway, talk to ya later. Tootles." And Sharpay disappeared from her sight.

Ring. Ring.

"Okay class. Your papers are due tomorrow. You may go." said Mrs. Fobbes. They all got up, and were leaving. "Sharpay! Wait!" said a voice. Sharpay knew who it was. She quickly got her book, and zoomed right out of the classroom. Troy tried to catch up with her, but he couldn't. By the time, he reached her locker, she was out the doorway. "This is going to be harder than I thought." Troy said. He didn't know how hard it would be.

A/N: Should I end it there. Nah. Here is more.

Over the next few weeks, Troy had tried talking to Sharpay, but no luck. Meanwhile, his love life, was on the rocks. He and Gabriella have been drifting apart, due to school, basketball, the scholastic team, and life in general. Sure, they had dates, and cared for each other, but the chemistry was slowing fizzing. Today was the day for the auditions. It was a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet, which was called "True Love." Sharpay walked to the school, wearing a lilac skirt, a lime green blouse with lilac frills, a lilac jacket, and lilac high heels. She was carrying a lime green Gucci purse. Unfortunately, Ryan wasn't at her side. He had the bad case of the chicken pox, and was quarantined. This was just great. Now she had no partner to audition with. Hopefully Ms. Darbus will allow her and Ryan to audition when he is better. Jenna then walked up to her. "Hey Sharpay." She said, handing her a latte. Sharpay reached it, and noticed Jenna had a bruise around her arm "Jenna. What happened to you there?" Jenna pulled her sweater to cover the bruise. "Oh that. I fell off my bed this morning. I am just so clumsy." she said. Sharpay took a sip of the latte.

"Uh huh. Anyway, Ryan is not here." Sharpay said

"Yeah I heard. He got the chicken pox. So who are you going to perform with?" she asked.

"No one. I'm just going to tell Ms. Darbus that Ryan is sick and we will our audition when he is better. We've been practicing the whole vacation."

"You think she'll accept that?"

"Of course she will. Ms. Darbus loves me and Ryan, especially me." She said.

"Well I have to go. I gotta go to the library." Jenna said. "Bye Sharpay."

"Bye." As soon as Jenna left, Sharpay was wondering, What if she didn't fall off her bed?

Troy was waiting for Gabriella at her locker. When she came, she was wearing a pair of jeans, a pink blouse, and a white jacket. Meanwhile, Troy was wearing a black polo, and a pair of dark blue jeans. "Hey Troy." she said in her sweet voice. She gave him a peck on the cheek. "Hey Gabriella. So are you ready for the auditions?" asked Troy.

"Are those today. I completely forgot. We have a scholastic bowl meeting." she said.

"Oh. That's cool." he said.

"If you want. I can skip the meeting." she said.

"No. No. That's okay. I know the scholastic decathlon is important to you. We can try out next time. We can let Sharpay and Ryan have this one." he said.

"You're so sweet. Thanks for understanding. I'll see you at lunch." she said. She gave him a quick peck on the lips, and headed off to the computer lab. Inside, Troy actually wanted to audition. He decided that he could at least see the tryouts, wondering if anyone will beat the Evans. He was in for a big surprise.

The Auditions.

"The auditions were being held during a free period. Sharpay was seated at the front while Troy was seated in the back. As many auditioned, only few people were good enough to receive a callback.. "Thanks you Norman. Um. That was… um…quite a performance." She said to a sophomore. She checked her list. "Now let's see who is next. Ah! Sharpay and Ryan Evans! You're next!" she said, with a hint of joy. Troy saw that Sharpay got up, but noticed that Ryan was not next to her, like he usually is. She walked up to Ms. Darbus. "Um Ms. Darbus. We have a problem." she said.

"What is it? Where's Ryan?" she asked.

"That's the problem. He has a horrible case of the chicken pox." she said.

"Oh dear. Oh my!" Ms. Darbus said.

"I know Ms. Darbus."

"Well how bad is it?"

"He's quarantined at this point."

"Oh dear Lord. That is just awful. Then who are you going to audition with?" she asked.

"That's what I wanted to talk about. We were wondering that if we can audition when he is better." she said.

"No." she said.

"What! What do you mean no?" Sharpay exclaimed

"I'm sorry Sharpay. I can't do that. The theater waits for no one."

"But Ms. Darbus. Me and Ryan have been practicing so hard and…"

"I'm sorry."

"How about I do a single audition?" she said

"That is not possible. Those are already done. This is the couple's audition. If you don't have a partner, then you can't audition. I'm sorry, Sharpay. Maybe the next musicale."

"But Ms. Darbus…"

"I'll sing with her!"

A/N: That is all for now. Sorry I had to end it there, I just had to. Anyway, I'm having trouble on deciding a romance song that could be a duet. Can you guys help? Whoever gives me the best idea, the next chapter will be dedicated to you. So please review. I'm hoping that we can break 70. So let's go. R&R.

P.S.: Just to let you know that I will not be able to update in a few weeks due to my play, a paper, and other things. But I will not abandon this story. The more reviews the better the next chapter will be. So see ya.
