Chapter 18 Auditions and Advice
The twins were back at school and today was the day of their audition for the upcoming school musical. Sharpay and Ryan sat and waited in the auditorium for all of the awful auditions to pass so that they could get up there and wow the crowd. Sharpay was more nervous than usual, not only because they were again up against Troy and Gabriella[they were all friends despite trying to beat each other at the auditions but also because she didn't want anyone to notice her growing stomach.
Troy and Gabi sat in the front row of the auditorium watching Ryan and Sharpay perform their routine, but Gabi noticed that Sharpay didn't quite seem herself. She was wearing a baggy tee and looked as though she had gained a little weight, Gabi knew that this meant that she hadn't sorted out her little mess. She knew that she would have to talk to Sharpay and help to support her even if she didn't want it.
After all the auditions had finished it was break time, so Gabi went to look for Sharpay and found her moping in the girls' toilets. "Hey Sharpay…" Gabi smiled at her, "…nice top…" she said purposely touching it, as she did so she felt Sharpay's whole body stiffen. She started to blush, "Thanks…" she said trying to brush Gabriella's hand away from her stomach. Gabi sighed, "Listen Sharpay…I know that you haven't sorted it out…" she said pointing at her stomach, "…I want to help you."
Sharpay started to sob onto Gabi's shoulder, "How can you help?" she asked.
"Well…I can help you figure out exactly what you are going to do seen as you obviously haven't decided for yourself. Have you even told Ryan?" Sharpay shook her head and Gabi sighed, "Well first of all you have to tell him, however hard it is…he has a right to know…after all, it is his kid too…" Gabi said quietly. Sharpay nodded, "I know…it's just gonna be so hard…"
Gabi nodded, "I know…but you still have to find a time to do it…and then you two can talk about what you want to do…" Sharpay nodded but the bell signalling the next lesson interrupted them.
Today, Ryan and me did our auditions…I think they went pretty well…but not as well as usual…Gabi told me I have to tell Ryan…and I guess she's right. I will tell him…as soon as I find the right moment.
