Chapter 2 Smile
Sharpay woke up to her alarm clock on Monday morning, she jumped out of bed and hopped into her bathroom to start her morning ritual, combing and tiding her hair, putting on her make up (etc.). She was happy cos today she would be announcing to her friends that they (her and Ryan) would be having a party that Saturday at their house whilst their parents were out of town for the weekend. Sharpay finished applying her make up and walked across the hall to wake up her brother. She walked into his room, opened his curtains, and sat on his bed next to his sleeping body. She then started to bounce the bed, "Wake up Ryan, time to get ready for school, today were gonna tell the guys about our party on Saturday!" she squealed at her brother. Ryan just rubbed his eyes and sat up, still mostly asleep. When he properly woke up and saw Sharpay sat on his bed, he jumped in surprise and pulled the covers further around himself.
"What did I tell you about knocking?" he asked her. She just did her puppy dog smile and battered her eyelashes at him making him laugh, "OK, OK, I forgive you," he said picking up his pillow and playfully hitting her with it.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed at him sarcastically, "that hurt!"
"Yeah right," he said, a glint appearing in his eye, "but I can't guarantee that this won't…" he said reaching out his arms and relentlessly tickling her sides. She quivered with laughter as he tickled her all up and down her sides, "Please…Ryan…stop…" she managed to say between gasping for breath, "late…school…stop…"
"OK, OK," Ryan said giving up, Sharpay gave him a small smile before leaving him to get ready for school.
Today I made her laugh, today I made her smile! We had a bit of a tickling fight today, and despite her stopping me, I feel as though I won, I won her over and got a smile. If only I could let her know just how much I want to get that close to her all the time.
