OK, no reviews, but anyway, this is the majority of the begining, and it's sort of like a big thing for me. Song is Lovefool by The Cardigans. Oh, and Spainish Chocolate Brownies are very good, if you want the recipe, you can ask me, I do a lot of baking. Oh, and I don't recomend you take the brownies out of the oven while they are still baking like in Drake & Josh, if you watch the show. Confectioner's Sugar can be found at health food stores and grocery stores in the Exotic Foods Aisle or the Latin Foods Aisle.

Chapter One: Lovefool

It had been only two days since the incident with Ryan and Elaine, the major breakup. Nothing was alright with anyone, and Elaine kept trying to get back with Ryan while Ryan said that he needed time to move on. If only there was a way to turn back time, thought everyone as they listened to another fight with Ryan and Elaine. "Why can't you understand that Ceclia-" "If you let me move on, then maybe this wouldn't be so-" "I don't want to move on! Ceclia always gets angry when I get-" "When you get what, Ella? What? Is it so hard to realise just once you won't get what you-" "There's nothing else I want! Can't you see that-" "What? If you needed me, you wouldn't have written that-"

"That note was for only Ceclia to find! I was hoping she would-" "Would what? Let me know-" "Why would I want Ceclia to break something major to someone? I wanted her to leave you and me alone! The only way was to-" "Make her think that you didn't love me? Guess what! I actually-" "What? Is it so hard to believe I'm bitter enemies with-" "With me?" "NO! With Ceclia! She's from West High, of course we're enemies! She's always-" "Always what?" "STOP INTRUPTING! She's always ruining my life!" "You do the same thing to yourself, Ella! No one's innocent here!"

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
and maybe there's nothing that I can do
to make you do

Elaine looked at him and said, "I guess your right about that. And that means you do the same thing as well. I guess maybe I am better off without you." She walked off, tears falling off her eyes, and ignoring everyone again. It had became a habit for her, something that she found comfort in, and it was strange to her, she used to be a social butterfly and now it's like the world has gone away from her. Sharpay looked at Elaine, and sighed, nothing was going right with Elaine. Even her grades had started to drop, but she still cheered like nothing was wrong, it was like cheerleading was her escape from the world.

Sharpay went to Zeke, and said, "Once again, Ryan won't listen to Ella. Zeke, you have the same baking class as her, what do you know about this?" Zeke looked to see if Elaine was around and then, after seeing she wasn't anywhere near them, he said, "She's not going like that I told you this, but she said that she is drifting apart from everyone, and that she feels like everything is her fault because she never cares about anything except what she wants. She also gave me a recipe for Spainish Chocolate Brownies, they're sweet, yet bitter, and they're great for Mexican feistas!"

"Zeke, you do know that when I said if she said anything, I meant only about the situation at hand, not Spainish Chocolate Brownies, right? I really could care less about those brownies unless they're sugar-free," said Sharpay. Zeke said, "Spainish Chocolate is always sugar-free! The only sugar in the brownies comes from the frosting, which is colored yellow and sweetened with confectioner's sugar! It's really good." Sharpay rolled her eyes at that.

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Gabriella had witnessed the scene and went to Troy to ask him about this. "Did you see that?" Troy nodded and she continued, "It seems kind of weird, usually Ryan would listen to her and get back with her in a day at the very least. I think this time it's permenant." Troy shifted uneasly, and Gabriella looked at him. "Troy?" "Yeah?" "Do you know something about that?" "Yes. Ryan said that he wasn't sure about what he feels, and he thinks that the whole thing was his fault." "But it's not!" "Let me finish. Ryan also knows that once they get back together, something will ruin it. And also, he was sick of the arguments, so he decided to take some time to enjoy the no arguments."

"That makes sense. But Ella is just so depressed about it, and lately she hasn't been spilling any secrets to anyone. The only one she trusted was Ryan and occasionly Zeke during baking class. However, some of the things she tells Ryan aren't the things you would tell someone you think of as a brother, like the fact that she's scared of death. She's scared of loss." "Isn't everyone scared of loss?" "Not loss in that sense. Loss as in the loss of a loved one, someone like Ryan. She lost him, and now she is scared of love."

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I don't care 'bout anything but you

It was amazing how Elaine was so stubbern she refused to even say that she needs him like she knows everytime. Sharpay had went to go talk to Elaine, but Elaine wasn't in the mood for talking. "Ella, listen to me!" "Not now. I don't want to talk." "Ella, if you don't talk, I'm going to get Gabriella to help me tie you down to talk." Elaine sighed and said, "Fine. What do you want to talk about?" "Ryan. It just seems like since you've broken up with him, everything isn't the same with you. What's really on your mind?" "He hurt me, and so I've just been upset. I don't really think you'll understand."

"Girl, you know your feelings have worth, and just don't be afriad to talk to your friends. Most of us have known you since we were kids! Gabriella's known you since we were 14 to 15! What's up?" Elaine sighed and decided to just say the real thing that bugged her. "My Sweet 16, you remember that? I don't have a date for my Sweet 16, and I'll look like a loser if I show up to my own party without a date!" "No, you won't. You're the birthday gal then, and it's your party, you choose how it goes and if you don't want to take a date, you don't have to."

Lately I have desperatly pondered
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

"But it's a huge party and every birthday always starts with the birthday girl doing the opening dance, and I don't have anyone to do the opening dance with!" Sharpay thought for a moment, and then figured out a solution, one that she didn't know would start a chain of events. "How about you take the new hottie over there?" She was pointing to a guy with blond hair, lighter than Troy's and blue eyes. Elaine smiled and said, "I don't know." "You'll never know if you don't go and try to ask him out."

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry and I pray for you to
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I don't care 'bout anything but you...

Elaine looked skeptical and said, "Maybe later." "Ok, but if you don't snag him, I will!" Elaine tried to laugh (imagine like Troy's fake laugh that sounded like a scoff), but failed. She sighed again and took out her journal and pen.

Wednesday, April 4th

Today Sharpay tried to tell me to ask out the new guy. I don't think I want anyone but Ryan, and I know that it's something I never had. Actually, I did, I just don't want to be told it's over. Someday, I just keep pretending that things will turn around with time, and I know that this will never change, no matter what, even though I want it to be like a fairytale where it works out in the end. Heck, graduation is around the corner, and if I don't get back with Ryan then, it might as well be nothing.

My Sweet 16 is in a few days, and this isn't fair that I'm not going to be showing up with Ryan by my side like he promised would happen. I miss everything he said to me, and now, I don't even care if he gets back with me by fooling me. I miss him so much, and it's my fault he isn't by my side today, and I don't have anyone to confide in with my deepest secrets. He knew that if he were to leave me and make me lose the one thing I held so dearly to me, then I might as well be gone.

I just hope he didn't tell anyone about my secrets, the secrets I spilled to him about my past. The fact I once was the geeky girl, and when I decide to no longer be that girl, and become the other passion I had inside me, cheerleading. He was the meaning behind every poem I had ever written, and I even confessed that to him, I told him the reason I love the book Romeo & Juliet is because of the meaning behind it. And the fact that I love to write, and never had failed an English assignment.

I miss him so much. I wish he would come back to me, even though I made a huge mistake and want to stop the hurt inside both of us. I wish he would just see that Ceclia causes everyone pain, just like she causes me pain everyday. It's not just physical anymore, it became emotional once she broke me up with Ryan, like she ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped it into the ground. That painful. I'll write more later.

Anything but you

She closed her journal. Elaine let a few tears fall without noticing that the guy Sharpay pointed out to her was walking towards her.

Love me love me (Say that you love me)
Fool me fool me (Go on and fool me)
Leave me leave me (I know that you need me)
I can't care 'bout anything but you
