Chapter 21 Final Call Backs
It was the beginning of October and the day of final call backs between Troy and Gabi and Ryan and Sharpay. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Ryan asked Sharpay as they sat in the auditorium watching Troy and Gabi do their number. Ryan and Sharpay would be next, but Ryan was starting to think that perhaps they shouldn't take part, due to Sharpay's pregnancy. However, Sharpay nodded, she was sure she wanted to do this, more than anything, besides, if they pulled out now it would look even more suspicious than Sharpay wearing a baggy top and struggling to hit some of the moves.
Finally, it was her and Ryan's turn to shine, they walked to the stage, Sharpay leading, and began their number. Gabi and Troy sat and watched the twins as they danced and sang, "Do you think Sharpay has put on weight?" Troy asked Gabi.
Gabi raised an eyebrow and smiled at Troy, "I don't think so…I think it's just that top…doesn't do favours to her figure…" Gabi lied.
"Oh…" Troy nodded and the two continued to watch the twins in silence. Finally they finished their number and took their bow before exiting the stage to meet up with Troy and Gabi. The two couples smiled at one another, and Gabi hugged Sharpay and whispered in her ear, "You were great…considering…" she looked down at her stomach. Sharpay smiled nervously at her friend.
"You haven't told anyone?" she whispered to Gabi. Gabi shook her head and Sharpay let out a sigh of relief. The bell then rang to signal that it was time for class and the four friends hurried off, not wanting to be late.
The results of the final call backs were on the bulletin board at East High, Troy and Gabriella had gotten the main parts. "Never mind eh Sharpay, probably for the best anyway," he said looking at her increasingly growing stomach. It was getting harder and harder for her to hide her pregnancy from everyone at East High, and Ryan had already heard a few whispers of Sharpay's figure.
