Chapter 5: Unexpexted

"I was wondering when you'd show up," Guy smiled as Connie walked into his room and kissed him. "She's still driving you crazy isn't she?"

"OK, I know we're supposed to like get along with them and make them feel like they belong," she sighed, "But Sharpay Evans may be the most horrible person I've ever met in my life. And that includes Rick Riley!"

"Now, let's not put her on the same level as Riley!" Guy laughed. "Besides, you didn't like Julie at first either."

"Yeah, but I just thought she was weird," Connie pointed out, "Which she is, but Sharpay,"

"Be nice, be the wonderful you that I know," He said, "And just suck it up." She rolled her eyes. "You could've roomed with Linda."

"And deal with Linda and Charlie drama all year," she shook her head, "No thanks." She kissed him. "I'll deal, I just may need to come in here and whine occasionally."

"Permission for whining granted," he smiled. "But is it over for now?"

"For now," she nodded. "Guy, do you miss them?"

"The abandoners?" He asked, "Yeah, Goldberg and Averman especially." He sighed. Connie nodded. She couldn't blame him for that. He was closest to the two of them on the team, especially since Jesse had left. "You?" She nodded.

"And don't get me wrong, I totally have faith in Adam but," she sighed, "Ducks without Charlie, it just feels wrong."

"Yeah," he nodded.

"So," Portman leaned against the door of Connie and Sharpay's room she looked up at him. "Stuck in on Saturday night?"

"Connie went out," she said simply.

"What makes you think I came here to see Connie?" He smirked and walked in.

"You're both Geese and whatever right?" She shrugged.

"Ducks," he nodded, "and yeah, but its Saturday which means that Connie is with her boyfriend."

"Right," Sharpay said, "So what do you want?"

"Give you three guesses," he shrugged. She rolled her eyes and laughed. "Am I that bad?"

"No," she said, "But you're not my type." She turned around and went to her bookshelf, if she was stuck in, she might as well get some work done. He came behind her and she took a deep breath as she felt his breath on her neck.

"What is you type then?" He asked. She stopped for a minute. What was her type? There was Troy, but that had been more about winning than actual affection, and Zeke, who was cute and everything, but the one time they went out had been so annoying.

"You're getting close to inapropriate here," She said snottily and slipped away from him.

"Fine," he shrugged. "I'll back off. You might want to be nicer though," he said, "Or maybe you're used to no one liking you." He walked out. She plopped angrily on the bed, Dean Portman was infuriating. And he talked like Gabriella Montes. She had friends. Sort of. OK, Ryan had friends, and she hung out with them, but still. She pulled out her cell phone and called him.

"Hey Shar!" He said picking it up. Thank God! "Guys its Sharpay!"

"Hi Sharpay!" She heard shouting great, the Wildcats were there.

"Ry, um, how're things?" She said, she wanted to hear that she was missed.

"Oh, things are great," he said, "I mean, quiet, and Gabby had to quit drama, so without either of you, I'm scrambling for a leading lady," she smiled, Ryan always knew what she wanted to hear. "What about you?"

"Awful," she said, "I'm in the ensemble Ryan, and the stage manager is like obsessed with me."

"Uh huh, sure he is," Ryan said sarcastically, "Look, Shar, everyone's here, I gotta go, but we'll talk soon OK?"

"Ryan wait!" He had already hung up. She sighed and lay back.

"So how's the ice queen?" Troy asked.

"Already deluded," Ryan rolled his eyes, "She thinks the stage manager of the show is obsessed with her or something." The ducks held back laughter. "What's funny?"

"He probably is," Averman smirked.

"Yup," Luis nodded, "If Portman smelled fresh blood in the water, there's no hope for her."

"Whoever this guy is I pity him," Gabriella said, "Sharpay's," Ryan finally stopped them,

"Guys, she is my sister," He said, they all grumbled. And he sighed, "But I feel pretty bad for him to."

"Food's ready," Zeke said. Everyone smiled and sat down around a plate of bar be que food that Zeke and Goldberg had made. "Where are Julie and Chad?" Everyone looked around.

"Right there," Julie said, "Exactly, that's it."

"You're insane," Chad laughed, as Julie leaned up from under the hood of Sharpay's car, and her wiped some grease off her face. She smiled. She'd been snooping around it fiddling with a few things here and there. "We should probably get back to the party."

"I guess so," she sighed. "I hate to leave this place."

"We can come back," He laughed, "You're here all year remember?"

"Right!" She said excitedy. Her phone started ringing. She plucked it off of the clip she had around her shorts. "Oh, Adam," she shrugged. Chad nodded. "Hi baby!"

"Hey," He laughed, "You sound happy."

"I just played around with the most awesome Mustang engine!" She said giddy.

"I really hope you're talking about a car," Adam said.

"Of course," she laughed, "What's up?"

"Not much," he shrugged, "Miss you."

"I miss you too," she said quietly. "Look, I have to go, we're at this party, but I'll call you when I get in?"

"Sounds good," He said, "Oh! No! I'm going to be at the library."

"On Saturday night?" Julie said confused. "Are you sure? I mean, I'm not making you go to the library on a Saturday night."

"Well, that Taylor girl," He said sheepishly, "I said I'd help her with her work."

"Adam that's great!" She said, "I'm glad you're making friends with them. I'm actually standing with her boyfriend right now." Suddenly a chill of guilt came over Chad. Taylor.

"Oh," Adam said, "Yeah, cool. So I should go."

"Yeah," Julie said, "I'll talk to you soon though?"

"Definitely," He said, "I love you Julie."

"I love you too," she said, "Bye." She hung up. "Isn't that funny? My boyfriend is hanging out with your girlfriend tonight."

"Funny," Chad said, a little out of breath, "Yeah, that's a word for it."

"Where were you two?" Troy asked as Julie and Chad wandered out, conveniently just in time for the food.

"Popped the hood on the fabulous mobile," Chad shrugged, and sat down, grabbing a burger.

"You touched Sharpay's car?" Ryan asked eyebrows raised. "Do you want to die?"

"Julie did it!" He pointed at her.

"Dude!" Julie said, "Sell me out, will you?" She sighed. "It's got a killer engine. I'd give anything for a car like that, save the color."

"It must be pink," Goldberg nodded. "Catlady, you do realize that other girls like pink."

"A Mustang should not be pink," Julie shook her head, "No matter what your gender."

"I agree," Gabriella said.

"Oh please," Troy laughed, "You're just happy because your new friend doesn't like something of Sharpay's."

"Yeah, well, the girl manipulated me into breaking up with you," Gabriella said, "I have every right to dislike her!"

"Did he call you Catlady?" Chad whispered to Julie. She nodded. "Why?"

"My nick name," she shrugged, "Julie 'The Cat' Gaffney. I have fast reflexes." She said, he tossed her a roll. "See?" He nodded.

"I see." He smiled.

"Hey Cat," Luis said, "Portman's after Ryan's sister."

"Ooh," Julie looked at Ryan, "My condolences on your loss."
