Chapter 5 Singing, Silence and Arrivals
Both Ryan and Sharpay were sitting in the living room, having made all the preparations for their party the only thing left was to wait for the guests to arrive. They should be arriving at 7pm and staying overnight, now it was 6.45pm and the twins were waiting in silence. Sharpay started to shuffle restlessly in her seat, then she did something that Ryan found quite unexpected, she started to sing slowly:
It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
Ryan joined in with her:
You were always there beside me
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold
But you were always right beside me
This feeling's like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before I finally found
What I've been looking for
When they finished singing, they smiled at one another, both thinking about things that they knew they shouldn't think about. There was a very long, very awkward silence between brother and sister, Ryan and Sharpay. The silence still didn't end as the twins looked around the room, then stole quick glances at each other, both blushing incredibly obviously when they caught each others eye. Finally, the ring of the doorbell broke the silence, Sharpay quickly took this opportunity and jumped up, rushing to the door to answer it. She opened the door to a hyper gang of their friends, Gabi, Troy, Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, and a few others.
"Hey guys, so glad you came!" Sharpay said smiling at her guests, they were unaware of just how grateful she was for their arrival.
