The Talk

Sharpay sighed and walked into school the very next day, she wasn't particularly looking forward to having the 'talk' with Troy but she had to. She had promised Gabriella and besides, if Troy was distracted by something she wanted to know what was on his mind. Zeke slipped his arm around her waist from behind and she smiled at him, he really was the best boyfriend ever. He was always lavishing her with gifts, and the way he looked at her it was like she was the only girl in the world. Sharpay saw the way Ryan looked at Kelsi and it was exactly the same. She played a smirk on her face and leaned up to him giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Do you remember what everyone said when we started going out?" Zeke whispered into her ear. Sharpay looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "The Ice Queen has thawed."
"Oh yeah.." She cringed a little.

"You were all nice." He laughed and kissed the tip of her nose so she giggled.

"Yes I remember." She laughed and felt her back hit her own locker, he had his hands gently resting on her hips and now she was leaning on the locker with her hands at his chest.

"Hey guys, get a room." Ryan commented and Sharpay turned to see him with his arm around Kelsi who was smiling sweetly.

"Hey! I just got a great idea." Kelsi burst out, Zeke, Sharpay and Ryan all looked at her questioningly, "We should double!" She smiled.

"Oh my god yeah that would be great!" Sharpay smiled and looked up at Zeke, "What do you think?"
"I'm cool with it." Zeke said and looked at Ryan.

"Me too." He said and kissed Kelsi's cheek, "I can't believe we didn't think of it sooner."

Kelsi smiled "Great thats settled then."

They were all laughing when Troy and Gabriella came up, Troy smiled at them and Gabriella smiled weakly. Troys hand was casually placed around Gabriellas shoulders but it didn't seem to be as loving as th way Ryan was holding Kelsi, Ryan held Kelsi close like he never wanted to let her go; Troy held Gabriella like she was his girlfriend but he didn't care much about her and Sharpay knew this hurt Gabriella. She could see it in her eyes and the small pout-like frown that played its way on her face and she shot her a sympathetic look quickly before anyone could see it.

"Hey guys." Troy smiled his usual cool, fly-by smile and Sharpay smiled in reply.

"Hey man." Troy and Zeke both hit their fists against eachother, Sharpay and Gabriella rolled their eyes at eachother.

"So is it settled then?" Kelsi looked at Zeke and Sharpay suggestively.

"Yeah. How about tomorrow 6.30pm?" Sharpay asked and Kelsi and Ryan nodded before Kelsi practically dragged him away and over to the theatre.

"So, guys what are you doing tonight?" Zeke asked.

"Oh...well I was gonna help Troy with his homework." Sharpay said quickly.

"You were?" Troy asked, which recieved him a kick from Gabriella, "You were!"
"Yeah, we were gonna do that." Sharpay looked at Zeke with a small smile on her face. Zeke raised his eyebrow at Troy and then at Sharpay.

That evening Sharpay sighed, she was standing outside Troys front door and had been for a few minutes, she had been dreading actually having to press the doorbell and go inside. For once she did not want to see her best friend Troy Bolton. But she took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. Hearing the ding-dong go through the house and then movements as someone got up to answer it. The shuffling of their feet to get to the door and then when they opened it to reveal Jack Bolton. Sharpay smiled, he looked surprised to see her.

"Hello Coach Bolton. I was wondering is Troy here?" She asked with a little smile on her face.

"Yeah...sure come in. He never said you were coming." Jack said and opened the door wider to let her in, "Just go right on up." He smiled.

"Thanks." She said as she passed him and opened the porch door she she stepped into the hall. Sharpay slowly walked up the stairs and down the hallway til she came to Troys wooden door. With a quick movement she knocked, two times and then opened the door. He was inside lying on his bed playing some guitar, he had taken up guitar around half a year ago in the summer and had stuck to it. Sharpay loved to hear him play and sing to her, sometimes they sang together but most times it was one or the other.

"Hey!" He said with a huge smile spread across his face.

"Hey." Sharpay smiled and sat down on the bottom of his bed, he put his guitar on its stand and sat up beside her.

"Sup? You're helping me with my homework? Or was that just a lie." Troy raised his eyebrows, he was obviously happy. Sharpay knew a way to change the mood dramatically.

"Troy...we have to talk." She took a deep breath.

His face fell, "You're breaking up with me when we haven't even started going out yet?" He said in a joking manner.

"Troy I'm trying to be serious." She sighed.

"Oh...well then whats up?" He asked and looked at her seriously.

"Gabriella was over at mine last night...and she said something."

"Said what?"
"She said you've been all distracted these past few weeks and not as caring and loving as you used to be. She wants to know why and so do I. I'm your best friend right? Can't you tell me whats on your mind?" Sharpay looked at him. He looked away.

"I never realised i was being distracted. I guess something else as been on my mind..." He began.

"Who?"
"...Well actually someone else..." Troy muttered.

This drew Sharpays full attention, "Someone else? You mean, you're interested in someone thats not Gabriella?!"

"Yes..." Troy nodded weakly.

"Who?" She asked, looking at him in horror, "And you might want to let Gabriella know, because you can't keep leading her on like this Troy. Its unfair."

"I know." Troy sighed, and lay down on the bed, Sharpay lay beside him.

"Who is she?" She asked.

Troy didn't reply, he looked down at the floor of his bedroom. Sharpay reached across and lifted his head.

"Troy...tell me." She whispered and he took her hand in his.

"The person thats distracting me...is..." He hesitated. Sharpay raised her eyebrows and looked at him expectantly.

"Its you."

Sharpay sighed and lay down on her bed, why did this have to happen? Why did Troy have to confuse her so? She sighed in frustration and remembered the rest of what had happened after he had told her, even though she didn't want to. She was dreading telling Gabriella, and she knew she would need some advice from Ryan before she did anything. He was out with Kelsi just now but he'd be back soon.

"What?! Troy you can't...its like...forbidden!" She cried out, alarmed.

"I know Sharpay I know! But I can't help thinking..." Troy trailed off and looked away, Sharpay sat up.

"Thinking what?!"
"That it could have been you and me. I mean, we could have gotten together before Gabriella and Zeke." He looked at her and sat up enthusiastically.

"No Troy..."
"Just listen..."
"No Troy!" She interrupted and stepped off the bed, away from him. He had looked at her so shocked. She turned around and left, as soon as she was out the house she just ran, ran right into the park and into the shadows until she was at the other side and she ran right up the steps to her hgouse and slammed the door shut behind her, panting. Troy had watched her from his bedroom window, filled with regret.

Sharpay sighed as she heard the front door gently close, at last she was saved. Sharpay rushed out of her room and met Ryan at the top of the stairs, he seemed so happy. Like he had had one of the best nights of his life, and he probably had. He seemed surprised to see her so rushed all the same.

"Whats wrong?" He asked, Sharpay seemed distressed.

She bit her lip and took a deep breath, "Its Troy."
"What about him?" He asked and started directing Sharpay back to her room.

"Well Gabriella asked me to find out why Troy was being distracted and then I did, I went to his house and we talked and he said he was distracted cause he really likes me.As more than a best friend." She looked at Ryan and stopped, Ryan paused in thought.

"Well, its not like you've done anything wrong. So when you tell Gabriella, she can't blame you for anything right?" Ryan said and Sharpay looked to the phone slowly.

"I suppose, its not like we kissed or anything..."She said in thought.

"You didn't did you?!"

"No of course not!" She hit Ryans arm and walked into her room to phone Gabriella.

Sharpay picked up the pink sparkly phone and began to dial Gabriellas number slowly, Ryan was listening in on the other line so he could hear the conversation and was in his room. Sharpay hesitated before pressing the last number but she finally did, she heard the phone ring and could imagine Gabriella, unsuspecting and happy heading to pick up the phone.

"Hello?" Gabriella answered.

"Hey Gabi." Sharpay said into the phone faking happiness.

"Oh! Hey did you speak to Troy?" She asked hopefully, Sharpay closed her eyes and cringed.

"Yes...I did..." She stuttered.

"Oh? What did he say?" She asked enthusiastically.

"He...erm said he likes someone else...thats why he's been so distracted..." She said, praying Gabriella wouldn't ask who.

"Who? Did he say who?" Gabriella asked, and Sharpays heart dropped.

"Yeah...he did..."
"And?"
"Its me, I'm the one he likes." Sharpay said quickly. She listened, there was silence on the other end so she continued, "I left as soon as he said that and i am so sorr..."
"You?!" Gabriella interrupted, "You, couldn't be happy with Zeke could you. No, you had to take my boyfriend too! You had to ruin my life! I knew you still hated me for taking the musicale from you last year! Was all of this some sort of strange, sick twisted revenge?!?!" Gabriella screeched into the phone, Sharpay could tell she was easily crying.
"Gabriella you know its not like that at all I just..." Sharpay began.

"Don't even TRY to say anything!!!" She squealed, "You are a whore! You slut!" She shouted and hung up. Sharpay put the phone down, feeling rather numb and bit her bottom liup. She had expected Gabriellas reaction to be something similar to that, and she had done nothing wrong. But why did she feel so bad?
