Chapter 9 Morning After
The morning after the party, Gabi woke up to find Sharpay busily trying to cook breakfast. She had heard Sharpay get up really early [as all of the girls had been sharing Sharpay's room, and all the boys had been sharing Ryan's room, and had gone back to sleep for a bit, but then got up before the others to help her with breakfast. She walked quietly into the kitchen ready to greet Sharpay, when she noticed that Sharpay was crying. "What's the matter?" Gabi asked Sharpay cautiously.
"Oh…hi Gabi…I didn't hear you coming," Sharpay said wiping her tears, "…nothings the matter…"
"Oh c'mon girl, you're crying for god's sake!" Gabi said putting an arm around her friend.
Sharpay hesitated for a second before looking at Gabi straight in the eyes, "I slept with my brother, I'm just finding it all a bit much at the moment…" she sighed. Gabriella looked thoughtfully at Sharpay, "But I thought it was what you wanted…he didn't force himself on you did he?" Gabriella suddenly looked worried, she had visions of Ryan forcing sex on his sister.
"No, no, no, no, NO!" Sharpay practically shrieked at Gabriella.
"Ok, ok," Gabi nearly laughed.
"So…d'you wanna talk about it?" she asked Sharpay.
"Defiantly not!" Sharpay shook her head, "Besides, I think you saw enough last night!" This caused both girls to burst out laughing, but were interrupted by a tired looking Chad walking into the kitchen, "Is breakfast ready?" he asked, stretching and yawning as he took a seat at the breakfast table.
"Just serving it up," Sharpay said smiling and handing a plate of bacon, sausage, fried eggs, and fried bread to him.
"Ooo…a good old English breakfast!" Chad said rubbing his hands together and tucking in. The others soon came downstairs and everyone sat eating breakfast together. Ryan kept giving Sharpay little glances, which she tried to avoid by looking at the wall opposite her. Finally, they all finished breakfast and Ryan said that he and Sharpay would clear up while the other got their stuff ready to go home. As the others went to pack their things, Sharpay quickly gathered the plates and started to load them into the dishwasher. "I'll help you with those," Ryan said taking some of the plates from her and placing them in himself. "So what's up?" he asked.
"Oh nothing," she said looking up at him and smiling, "I'm just a bit weirded out by the whole last night situation…" she said looking closely at him.
"Its fine seriously, I'm a bit weirded out too, but I think its just cos we've never done that before…maybe if we tried again…we could see if we felt a little better about it…" he said, trailing off as he saw her expression, "What?"
"You," she said smiling at him and smacking him playfully on the side of the head. He just laughed and smiled at her, "You know I'm gonna have to get you back later for that…"
"Bring it on"
