A/N Well, I edited this chapter…wow…it's pretty stupid. And…it's very odd.

Chapter two
Not twins?
Sharpay's P.O.V.
"Rise and shine Albuquerque, today will be another bright and sunny day-" A perfectly silver manicured hand flied up from under the mountains of sheets and covers pounding a fist down on the alarm clock numerous times before it finally came off. I groaned and covered my head with my pillow. It can't be seven already! Just as I was falling back asleep my door slammed open and Ryan bounced into my room.
"Sharpie, get up! Sharpie!" Ryan hollered stressing on the 'pie' while stripping my covers off of me. "It's time to get up!" I just ignored him; I don't know why he's such a morning person. It's disgusting! I was, once again, falling asleep when I felt my bed moving up and up starting to feel a bit nauseous I groaned again and rolled over, but my bed just felt like a little engineless boat stranded during a hurricane.
"Sharpie! My darling sister, it's time to get upppp!" Ryan sang out while jumping on my bed.
I sat up furious, "Get out!" I croaked as calm as I'd ever be, which wasn't very calm but anyway. "GET OUT!" I yelled, ok, calming time is officially over.
"Whatever you say, Sharpie!" Ryan smirked.
"I told you never to call me that! I am not a writing utensil! Do I look like a marker to you? With a big black tipped head and an oddly shaped body!" I hollered, even though he was right next to me.
"Actually-"
"Oh shut up! And…. GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" I jumped off my bed, grabbed him by his arm and pushed him out the door. "AND STAY OUT!"
" Sorry for waking you Sharpay." Ryan said. Finally some respect! "Obviously you were enjoying your dream about Troy. Next time I'll just-"
"Ryan! You're so immature!" I locked the door and got ready for school. Every morning, Ryan would do the same thing, I know, I know, why don't I just lock my door? I guess I kinda enjoy yelling at Ryan every morning, and I know for a fact our neighbour Mr. Willis really appreciates my screaming as his personal alarm. But I can't help but wonder what it'll be like to have a sister.
----
"Morning mom, dad" I said as I sat down for some home cooking. Well, not mom's cooking. Maria's cooking. My mother couldn't make toast; the last time she tried to cook she nearly burnt down the house. Good thing we had Maria around, and the insurance too.
"Same here" Ryan yawned, "morning"
"Mother, why couldn't I have a sister! Ryan is just so immature!" I whined. Ryan playfully glared at me, showing me that I didn't hurt his feelings. "Are you sure we're even twins! I mean, look at him! He's like a five year old in a sixteen year old's body!" I cried out holding in my laughter.
" Nuh-uhhh!" Ryan argued." It's a five and a HALF year old!"
"Whatever, Ryan." I crowed rolling my eyes, " See what I mean!"
"Ryan behave; Sharpay eat." our mother looked up from her breakfast. "Maybe we should tell them now." My mother said looking at our father who just shrugged while Ryan and I exchanged quizzical looks.
"I've got to see to work. See you kids later" Our father fled the room, suitcase in hand after kissing mom good bye, a horrifying event us teenagers did not need to witness.
Mom sighed obviously exasperated. "Well, Sharpay, Ryan, you aren't twins."
"WHAT! AREN'T TWINS!" I glared at my mother, "Is this some kind of a joke?" I cried out, waving my fork around hysterically, "You mean, all my life I've been living a lie!"
"Sharpay calm down! You and Ryan aren't twins because you're triplets!" Mom said in her as-a-matter-of-fact voice.
"Mom," Ryan said cautiously , "there's only two of us. One, two. " Ryan counted, pointing to the both of us, "No more no less."
"Sharpay, now would be a wonderful time for you to try and shut your brother up." Our mother joked. "When you three were born, your father and I were…poor. We couldn't afford take care of a child. But we accept the fact that we would be having twins, if we both took extra jobs, we might make it through. But three, there was no possible way we could've taken care of three kids. No one knew I was having triplets, it was a surprise, a lovely surprise, but unexpected none the less."
"The doctors had to surgically remove Maddie from my stomach, that's why I have that big scar.Eventually, when she can out she was so small and tiny they had to put her on life support. One of you, apparently you Sharpay, had been eating all the food and nutrients so that Madeline hardly got any."
"I see nothing's changed with you Sharpay."
"Oh shut up Ryan!"
"Yes, I got to see her for a while and while I was down down at her, I knew I couldn't do it. I couldn't be a mother of three kids, I was just twenty years old. I looked down upon her little face and I knew I'd never be able to give her the life she needed. So, weeks after she recovered and was released from the hospital, I decided then and there that I would give her to my best friend Jennifer, and being the friend she is she left me name her."
"I remember, before I gave her to Jennifer, I would put all of you in a big crib together and I'd just sit there and watch you all. Sharpay, you would usually just drift off to sleep in a corner by yourself and while you slept Ryan and Madeline, that's her name, they would be talking to each other softly in your baby language as if not to wake you up Sharpay. Sometimes I couldn't tell who was Sharpay and who was Madeline, but I would always figure it out eventuall., Sharpay had a higher sort of wail than Madeline and while you, Sharpay cried for everything, Madeline hardly ever cried. You would squeal whenever you saw anything pink while Madelin would wrinkle her nose, just like your father, and turn her head away."
Ryan and I merely sat there, our brains numb from all the information it took it. I was overwhelmed by all the feelings I held inside of me. I was jealous of how highly our mother spoke of Madeline. It seemed like she appreciated her more than she appreciated me. But at the same time, I felt angry at myself for ever thinking something like that, Madeline deserved all of our mother's attention. I looked up at my mother, she was just sitting there staring blankly into space. Thank goodness she's still breathing. I noticed the rise of her chest and shrugged off her guilty look.
"We've got to go to school now, ok? Bye." Ryan and I exited the room after his 'words of wisdom'
"Sharpay, do you know what this means?" Ryan babbled happily.
"Yes, we were poor. I can't believe itl; you better not tell anyone about this. The Evans never has nor ever will be poor. This is horrible. Our reputations could be down the toilet if that came out." I complained bitterly, erasing all thought of my sister. This can not be happening!
"Sharpay; focus! Weren't you listening or did you stop after mom said we were poor? We have a sister! A baby sister!" I don't know why he was so happy, he's already got me!
"Our life is like a lifetime movie. Kids find long lost sister, they find the part of themselves they always felt missing. Then they live happily ever after. How cliché." I observed dreamily.
"Kids, Maddie's coming to visit on Wednesday so I would appreciate it if you were nice to her!" our mother explained. She had followed us out of the kitchen and was currently exasperated with me and Ryan.
"Who's Maddie?" I interjected "and what about our sister?" I blinked in confusion and cocked my head to the left.
"Maddie is our sister! Madeline...Maddie. You'd think she would've caught on by now." Ryan looked at our mother who merely nooded.
"Oh, I knew that." Ok so Maddie's Madeline and she's coming in... eight days? Alright; I can see it now, another me. Wait a second…eight days! I turned around and glared at my mother.
"Mother, she's coming in eight days? That's right around the corner! So is that your reason for actually telling us about her, because she's coming…in eight days? Anything else you'd like to add to that list mother? If you really are our mother. Next thing you'll be telling me is that Dale Evans isn't really our father and Boi isn't really my dog."
"Sharpay, now is not that time! I have to run some errands so I'll see you kids later." Mom said while walking out the door.
"Can you believe it Ryan! We have a sister! What do you think's going to happen? You better not tell anyone about this; let's give 'em the surprise of a lifetime. We could be a trio, she'd be like another me. Now how fun would that be?" I babbled, I always babble when I'm excited, it's such a bad habit.
"No, having two of you wouldn't be fun; it would be scary. Now I'd have someone to boss around; but what if she can't sing, or act?" Ryan paced the hallway.
"Then we'll teach her; duh. Come on, let's go. You have to get a good parking spot this time." I barked pulling on my façade once more.
"But first, let's get dressed." Ryan looked at me in my pajamas and then down at himself in his boxers.
"I'm with you on that one."
"Move, move, get out of my way, MOVE!" Ryan and I said making our way to our lockers.
"Hey, Ryan, Sharpay, great party!" Stephanie Long said. Our sixteenth birthday was on Saturday, two days ago. And let me tell you, it was one heck of a party!
"Duh! What did you expect! Come on Ryan." I said walking away from my locker.
We walked into English, right on time and made our way to our seats. After five minutes I got bored of Mr. Lenner's boring lecture. My thoughts drifted to Ryan and my birthday party. I have to admit, it was awesome! And the cake was chocolate! YUM! My favorite. Everything was great until I found Ryan showing Gabriella, Taylor, Troy, Kelsi and Chad a video of our very first talent show. I leaned on the doorframe and looked at the video. Our cousin taped it, she was eight I think. They didn't know I was there, of coarse and I wasn't going to tell them. I'll let it slide. You see they weren't really my friends, they were more Ryan's friends than mine. The only friend I have there is Gabi,.
The video showed me and Ryan back stage, of our very first talent show. We were wearing blue, our favorite color back when we were five.
"Sharpay, I'm scared, what if I forget everything!" five year old Ryan said wide eyed.
"Don't be, just keep your eyes on Grandma and make believe we're singing just for her." I advised him reassuringly.
"And now we have, Ryan and Sharpay Evan singing 'Bravery.' One of them in the blue suits announced into a microphone. We stepped out on the stage and waited for our music to start.
"Hmmmm, that's really good advice for a five year old. Especially if it's coming from Sharpay. Ryan and Gabriella glared at Chad. I started warming up to Gabriella after the whole musical episode. I finally started giving her a chance, Taylor wasn't that bad either. Kelsi; I had known her for some time but I never really took her seriously; until now. It was just the lunk-headed basketballer, and no I'm not talking about Chad, that I have a problem with now. Over the weeks, I've grown to ignore Chad even more, much like everyone else had done as I had opened my mouth to sing.
Me: I've given up my night light, cause I'm not scared of the dark.
Ryan: I've tasted buttermilk, sat through Jurassic Park.
Me: I've taken off my training wheels, used a dog shampoo.
Ryan: Sometimes there's no limit to the scary things I'll do
Ryan: I don't hide in the closet, when I hear a thunder clap.
Me: I've dunk my head in water, I've sat on Santa's lap.
Ryan: I never bat an eye, when I get my measles shot
Me: So when things get real scary, it's a good thing that I've got.
Both: Bravery! I'm loaded with bravery!
Ryan: When I'm in a pitch, I don't even flinch, I'm cool and I'm calm.
Both: Bravery! I'm brimming with bravery!
Me: I'm always prepared, and if I'm so scared, I get my mom.
Me: first day in kindergarden., others might have wept.
Ryan: I sat and played with legos at nap time I just slept.
Me: I've climbed the tallest jungle gym, slide the biggest slides
Ryan: When I go to Disney world I ride the biggest rides.
Me: Plus Friday at assembly, in front of the whole school.
Ryan: I played a singing carrot and didn't lose my cool
Me: I hopped out on that stage and sang out clean and strong
Ryan: In sticky situations, I always bring along.
Both: Bravery! Three cheers for bravery!
Ryan: The sight of a ghost, won't turn me to toast, I'm badder than bad.
Both: Bravery! I'm brimming with bravery!
Me: But if I'm despair, and mom isn't there, there's always dad!
Me: Bravery, when my knees get wavery.
Ryan: My heart's in my mouth, my nerve's heading south and I've got the shakes.
Me: Bravery, when my voice gets quavery
Ryan: I suck in my gut, I'm mean and I'm mune. I stagger and strut preteen marine.
Both: Left, right, left, right I've left the general behind
Both: Bravery, three cheers for bravery! You won't see us clench, when we're in a drench, or when things get hairy.
Both: Bravery, let's hear it for bravery, we're so full of bravery.
Me: It's scary.
Everyone let out a chorused 'awww' and said we looked 'soo adorable'. Gabriella squealed and declared that she could 'eat you two kiddies up!' Everyone gave her a weird look except for Ryan who replied with a 'If you're hungry, we've got food in the fridge no need to resort to cannibalism.' By now the party was offically over and everyone had left except them because they were sleeping over. I rolled my eyes and pretended I had just entered the room.
"What are you guys doing here?" I glared at everyone in the room; Jason looked away guility and Taylor and Ryan rolled their eyes.
"Oh nothing, we were just watching some videos." Ryan knew from experience to never lie to Sharpay Evans.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes, again "I'll be in the music room if anyone needs me so; try not to need me."
"You guys have a music room!" Gabi gasped.
Buh-ring! Everyone grabbed their bag and ran out of class, books in hand. I moved a little slowly, actually taking the time to put my books into my bag. Ryan, as usual, waited for me by the door. I only had English with him and Kelsi.
"Are you ok Sharpay? You seemed a little out of it in English." Kelsi asked me. She's been outgoing ever since the last 'musicale.' I was terribly suprised when I found out we had similar tastes in everything- except clothes, boy do we differ greatly in that deparment.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I was just thinking. What do we have next?" I asked digging through my bag.
After another typical East High Day
"I'm bored. Bored, bored, bored, boredddd." I sang. " Ryan where do you think Maddie will be staying? Don't you think Maddie's a weird name? Do you think her mother- well mom's friend likes that name? Do you think she lookes like me still? Why do you think the-"
"I'm guessing the room opposite yours and don't ask me any more stupid questions." He snapped irritably.
"You mean the guest room? But it's so bore-ring; no one likes to sleep in there." I pointed out rather surprised. "Idea! IDEA!" I exclaimed jumping up and down in my chair.
"What?" Ryan hissed holding his head in pain, no person should have to go through the pain of hearing Sharpay's voice screeching out 'Idea! Idea!' every few days.
"I've got an idea!" I squealed no longer holding in my excitement, "Why don't we fix it up? You know paint it over, move stuff around. I'm sure mom wouldn't mind. I bet she didn't even think about that! And it's not like we don't have the time; we've done our home work and practiced our singing. I'm going to ask mom." I hopped out of the chair and ran down the hall and barged into our parents room.
"Mom, is Maddie going to stay in the guest room opposite my room?"
"Why yes, I suppose." Our mother replied absent mindly.
"Well I was wondering; Madeline's coming to visit and because she is part of the family, she should have her very own room don't you think? And I'm almost certain that once she comes to visit, she'll come a second time And I'm sure she wouldn't want to feel left out so, can Ryan and I ummm, I don't know, redecorate her room?" I begged, widening my eyes and sticking out my bottom lip.
"Well, ok if you really want to. But don't you need to get some stuff for her new room? Like lamps or whatever it is you'll need?" Our mother wasn't much of a designer either, she was just your avererage everyday music producer.
"Leave that part to me." Ryan informed us excitedly.
"Here's my credit card, don't spend too much." Our mother warned us, obviously distracted while she held out her credit card.
"Don't worry, we won't." We chorused grinning at each other.
"Let's go for a purple and blue version of my room!" I pleaded bouncing down the stairs.
"Or let's not." Ryan muttered afraid he'd have another Sharpay to deal with in the house.
Five long tedious hours later
"Wow, this room looks great!" Ryan stated breathing out a puff of air, "I hope she likes it!"
"She better! I did not work for five hours straight for nothing!" I ranted bossily.
"Come on, let's go. I'm hungry" Ryan groaned. Together we walked out of her room and turned around, one more time, sighed, turned off the light and closed the door. I can't wait to see her reaction! I can't wait to see her! My triplet, Maddie! I squealed inwardly and ran after Ryan jumping on his back.
