Hi, thanks for the reviews! They meant so much to me! I can't believe I got that many just for the trailer, but thanks! And if you're wondering, this is a Troypay/SharpayOC. I wont really reveal what it ends up with yet, but I think you can guess that, huh? You know which couples I usually ship, soo... Anyway, I thought you deserved the first chapter quickly because of the awesome reviews, so I hurried home and wrote it, and then I have to pack.
Forbidden Dreams
Chapter 1.
"And this year's cutest couple is… Sharpay Evans and Troy Bolton! Now, that's no surprise…"
Troy turned to look at his girlfriend for over two years, love shining through his eyes. She was smiling too, of course she was, she loved the attention people were gonna give them. They'd been voted cutest couple last year too… And the year before that. She shot him a huge smile, and he pulled her to her feet, and then they made their way towards the stage, where they got their prize.
It was some crazy East High tradition. Whatever different couples or persons who'd be nominated for something, would always get a prize of some sort. Sharpay and Troy had each two round red hearts from the two years before, and now they were gonna get their third one.
Troy took a good hold of Sharpay's hand and linked their fingers together. East High had come to love them as a couple. In the beginning they were kinda laid back about it. They didn't know what to say, and Sharpay and Troy together had intimidated them a whole lot. But after awhile they had all come to realize that Sharpay was acting sweeter, and she was more down to earth than usual. And of course they liked the look their basketball star got on his face, every time he saw his girlfriend.
Their relationship had been nothing but great since they got together a little over 2 years ago. Of course they had their share of fights and disagreements, every couple had that. But they always managed to work it out, and every time they'd been arguing over something, they ended their argument by having so amazingly hot sex that neither of them could stand properly on their feet until 3 hours later.
Troy's parents had come around the idea of their son having sex with his girlfriend too. Sharpay's parents didn't even care, because after Troy spent more and more time with Sharpay, he came to realize that they were almost never home. It was kinda sad actually. He'd been going out with Sharpay for two years now, and he still didn't feel like he knew them. They were always working, but he knew Mrs. Jenkins very well now. Her cookies were still damn good.
They went onto the stage, smiling at the school. Sharpay winked at a few boys, and threw a few ´Call me's´. Pete Smith, who was in charge of handing out their prizes, gave them each one, and asked them to say something. Troy let Sharpay do it, she was so eager to do all that anyway.
"Thanks!" she smiled, "For voting us cutest couple again. Well, we are, so it's really not that surprising. Remember to come watch our last performance of the school play, and vote us Prom King and Queen too, will ya'?"
Troy quickly grabbed the microphone out of her hand and ushered her away from it, "Just ignore her!" he told them, "But please… come watch us." He gave Pete the microphone back and hurried after Sharpay down of the stage, and to their seats again, where Gabriella grabbed his prize, wanting to inspect it closer. She had kinda hoped it would be her and Ryan's turn to win this year, they were nominated too, but of course they didn't win. And she kinda understood that. No other couple was quite like Sharpay Evans and Troy Bolton.
Sharpay watched as a few other persons got their prizes. Her hand was still tucked in Troy's, and she had leaned herself against him, resting her head on his shoulder. She really couldn't believe that they were still going strong. Around two months ago, he'd asked her out for their two years anniversary, and she couldn't get it into her head, that they'd actually made it two years. She'd never done that with anyone before. Rather two months.
And she could proudly say, that she hadn't cheated on him. Occasionally, she'd look at a guy and think he was cute, she wouldn't deny that, but at the same time, she knew she loved Troy and that he loved her, and nothing could measure up to that. No one night stand was worth losing him.
She was looking forward to their last performance at East High. It was tonight. And then next Friday, it was their senior prom. She couldn't wait. Of course Troy was taking her, he'd asked her months ago. She'd found the perfect dress, after going shopping with Taylor, Gabriella and Kelsi. They'd become quite good friends now, and they had plenty of sleepovers, where they did each other's hair, and talked about their boyfriends.
After school, Troy and Sharpay made their way into the park, sitting on the bench that had soon become their special spot. They'd dropped their bags off at Sharpay's house, because Troy was heading there for dinner after. Then they'd head to the school around 5 to get ready for their last show at 7 o'clock. They'd gotten the leads together. Gabriella had had a really busy time with the Scholastic Decathlon Team lately, and Ryan knew how much Troy and Sharpay wanted to star together, so since his girlfriend wouldn't have time to audition, he'd pulled himself out of the production.
Sharpay and Troy had been really grateful for that. They would be able to do their last performances together. After the summer holidays they'd be heading off collage together, where they'd both mayor in the fields they cared about the most. Of course they both had acting on the schedule, but Troy had basketball too. Sharpay also took designs, but most time was set for her acting lessons. Troy was only taking basketball so he'd be able to coach someday. His dream of teaching second grade was still strong, and no matter how much his father pleaded him to do basketball professionally, he couldn't convince him.
They sat down close together, Sharpay once again resting her head on Troy's shoulder. They weren't nervous for tonight. Opening night last weekend had gone good, and Kelsi's play was awesome, well written with a lot of good songs. Troy and Sharpay had the leads, a couple who had an affair because the girl's parents had forced her to marry someone else.
Ironically enough.
In the end of course, after the couple had broken off, and then started an affair, she realized that she couldn't marry someone else, when her heart belonged to him. So she left the other guy, and the play ended with her, barging into her true love's house, kissing him with so much passion, that the audience would almost wish to cover their eyes.
Mrs. Darbus had been quite happy to see them do that scene, because they'd done it perfectly. Sharpay had no problem putting herself in her character's shoes, imagining what it would be like to lose Troy that way had been easy.
Too easy of course.
And she imagined what it'd be like to get him back too. That gave them all the crazed passion they needed. Stage or not, Troy turned her on to no end, and that was the other way around too.
Troy kissed her cheek, pulling her closer to him, "I love you, Shar." He whispered.
She turned to look at him, a smile on her lips. She wondered when she'd started to become all lovey-dovey, but she guessed he just brought it out in her, "I love you too!" she giggled, regret in her voice though, "You know that."
"So…" Troy trailed off, "What are we planning on doing during our vacation? My parents and I are planning on heading to Hawaii, remember I told you that, right? Well… My mom asked me to … ask you if you wanted to tag along?"
Sharpay's face lit up, a huge smile spreading across her face, "Really? As in seriously for real?"
"Yup." Troy smiled, hugging her, "Really, as in seriously for real."
"I'd love to!" Sharpay whined, kissing his face all over, deciding to forget about her parents' plans with her for the summer, "It's gonna be amazing! When is it? When are we going? First week, right? It has to be! I gotta call your parents and thank them! This is so cool! For how long, one week? You and I – one week in Hawaii, that's awesome, Troy!"
"Calm down, Sharpay!" Troy laughed, watching her as her breathing slowed down again. She'd gotten so exited that she didn't even manage to take in a breath. "You're wonderful, Shar, but you really need to calm down. It's the first week after school is out, and yes, it's one week. You and I will have a hotel room together, and mom and dad will have the one across from us."
"Oh God!" Sharpay said, shooting up from the bench, and then she started to dance around it, cheering like crazy, "I can't wait, this is gonna be the best vacation ever! I love you, Troy!"
"I know." Troy said, standing up as well, "But let's head home. We have some stuff to do before we're going to school, okay?"
"Sure," Sharpay smiled, slipping her hand into his, the guilt almost overwhelming her, "Let's go home."
--
"It doesn't matter what my parents say! I love you, and only you!" Sharpay said, taking a step closer to Troy. She drew in a sharp breath and continued, "Please say you'll give me chance again? I never meant to hurt you!"
"I'll give you all the chances you need." Troy replied, taking her hands into his, "If you just promise it's gonna be you and I in the end. If you can promise that, then I'll take you back."
"I can…" Sharpay said, shaking her head lightly, "I swear, I swear to God, I never wanted to leave you. It wasn't my fault. I knew I should have said something to my parents before, but… It's so hard. They have so many expectations, and I didn't want to hurt them."
"So you decided to hurt me instead?" Troy asked, his face getting serious.
"Yes." Sharpay said, "But I… I regret it. Ever since, I've regretted it ever since. Can't we please just start over and pretend that these couple of weeks haven't happened?"
"Okay." Troy said, nodding a little, "I can do that. I want to be with you. So bad."
"Then kiss me." Sharpay whispered, pulling him towards her. The minute his lips were on hers, she started kissing him like she'd do if they were alone in the bedroom. But they weren't alone. They had a full audience looking at them, but they didn't seem to mind. Troy kissed her back, and soon the curtains started falling, indicating the end of the play.
They heard applause, and the curtains pulled up again, letting the entire cast take a bow. Troy had Sharpay's hand linked to his own, and as they made their way into their joined dressing room, he stopped and kissed her in the doorway. She giggled slightly, and sat down in her chair.
She breathed a deep sigh, and turned to look at him, "I can't believe this was my last performance at East High. It's so sad."
"Oh…" Troy said, "Don't feel bad, babe. You're moving on to bigger things now."
"Yeah, I'm moving on…" Sharpay smiled, biting her lips slightly.
Just then someone was knocking on their door, and Troy went over to let them in. It was his mom and dad, standing there with a rose for Sharpay. They came into the room, and handed it to her, making her blush like crazy.
"Way to say thanks to the in-laws, Shar!" Gabriella giggled, making her way into their dressing room, with Ryan's hand in hers. They'd been there to watch the show, to support their friends, "Aren't you supposed to say thank you or something?". Her voice was sarcastic, but only Sharpay and Ryan caught the hints. If Troy had known what Sharpay was about to tell him later, he would have noticed too.
Sharpay shot her a death glare and turned to Coach and Mrs. Bolton, "Thanks." She smiled, "Did you like the show tonight?"
"Yeah, it was good." Coach Bolton said, putting his hands into his pockets, "You wont be coming with us now, Troy, will you? Do you need some time alone with your girl?"
"I actually have something I need to talk to him about." Sharpay said, looking at Troy, suddenly turning very serious, "It's important."
"Okay…" he looked nervous now, "I guess I'll be back later then, mom, dad." Troy said, ushering them out of the dressing room. He turned around to find Ryan sending Sharpay a saying look. She looked kinda scared, and a little sad too. It was weird, she'd just been acting happy all day long.
"I guess we'll leave now too, right Ryan?" Gabriella asked, looking at her boyfriend, "Sharpay needs to tell Troy all that… stuff." She turned to Sharpay and gave her a deep hug, "Smile Shar, it's not the end yet. You need to get this off your chest, 'kay?"
"Right…" Sharpay nodded, "I'll call you tomorrow."
"Sure." Gabriella smiled, dragging Ryan with her out of the dressing room. She closed the door safely behind her, and Troy turned to look at Sharpay. He was suddenly feeling very nervous, and a bit afraid.
"Okay, Sharpay, now you're scaring me, what's going on?"
"You need to sit down, Troy." Sharpay said, pulling him with her to the little couch. She sat them down together, placing her hand on his, "Remember that dinner party I had to go to a couple of weeks ago? With my parents and Ryan?"
"That one with your father's business partner?" Troy questioned.
"Yup, that's the one." Sharpay smiled.
"What about it?"
"Well…" Sharpay begun, "You see… Uhm… My father's business partner has this son, whom I was sitting next to, and we got to talk, and… Well, he's moving to Albuquerque during the summer holidays."
"Okay, is he nice?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, he's very sweet!" Sharpay smiled, "And rich. Kinda cute too."
"Haha!" Troy said, lightly punching her arm, "So what's the deal about him? Is your father forcing you to spend some time with him? What!?"
"Uhm, yeah… something along those lines, yes." Sharpay nodded, biting her lips again. She drew in another sharp breath, and shot him an insecure smile.
"What do you mean along those lines?" Troy asked, "You are able to go on a vacation with me, aren't you?"
"Yeah…" Sharpay trailed off, "If you still want me to come, that is."
"What are you talking about? Why wouldn't I want you to come?" Troy asked.
"Because… This guy, Misja is his name, actually…"
"What about him?"
"Our parents talked, and my dad liked Misja a lot." Sharpay mumbled, terrified of what she was about to reveal, "And apparently…"
"Apparently what?"
Sharpay took a deep breath, looking Troy deeply in the eyes, "They want me to marry him, Troy…"
'Kay, so there we go! I hope you liked this first chapter. I'll see what I can do, and be back soon, okay? Remember to leave a review, tootles, Stessa ;p
