Chapter Five

So I started dating Zeke and was getting ready for our date tonight. Chad thinks he's nuts. Jayson agrees with Chad. Troy's happy for Zeke and I. I didn't hear what Ryan said, I sort of blocked that part out when Zeke was speaking to me.

I tied the rope around my neck from the purple shirt I was going to wear and slipped up my jeans, then I admired myself in the mirror. I applied my make-up, lastly my mascera. I sat on my bed, fiddling with my silver flip-flops.

My mom walked in my room with a beaming face. "Your boyfriends here." she said excitedly.

I smiled and did a little touch up with my hair. Then I ran out into the living room and jumped up in Zeke's, who was speaking to Ryan, arms and he spun me around. The Wildcats have handshackes, I get spun.

"Let's go." I ordered and a pleading way so Ryan wouldn't brainwash him and take him away from me. I pulled Zeke to the door of our suite and when we stepped out, I slowed down. "So where are we going?"

"You'll see." he said sneekily.

I raised an eyebrow, but then shrugged. I liked surprises, as long as they were good surprises. Which in my case, is to my liking instead of others.

We got into Zeke's Explorer and he drove off, making me blindfold my eyes. We finally hit a stop and Zeke excited the car, then helped me out.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Hold on, keep your eyes closed."

I shut my eyes tighter as he removed the blindfold. He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a chair and helped me sit down.

"You can open your eyes now."

I did and I was greeted by and amazing scene! Assorted chef's bringing around all kinds of food to an amazingly prepared table, where Zeke and I sat. And the setting was around the golf course, near the lake. It was gorgous! The way the moon and the stars reflected against the lake...it was a miraculous scene!

"Ooh, Zeke!" I squeeled, "This is beautiful! How'd you do it?"

Zeke smiled bashfully. "Being assistant chef has it's advantages." he said.

I smiled and looked around. It truely was amazing! Especially when the food came out as my favorite dish. Salmon, lighlty sprinkled with lemon, a medium baked potato, and asparagus in the left hand corner of the plate! All perfect down to the placing on the plate! And it tasted better than ever before!

"Zeke, this is amazing!" I complimented after swallowing a mouthful of baked potato.

He blushed. "Anything for you, Sharpay." he said. "You know I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

I grabbed him hand with both of mine. "You are the greatest boyfriend I could ever ask for, Zeke Baylor." I admitted.

"You are the most amazing girlfriend I could ask for, Sharpay Evans." he said back and took both of my hands cuffed in his.

After we finished our dinner, desert came out. And it was my favorite. Creme Brule!

"Complimentaries of Chef Baylor." said the head chef.

I smiled at Zeke. "You're creme brule? Oh Zeke, you know that's my favorite!" I squeeled.

"I guess I know my girl pretty well then." he said.

I smiled and took a bite of the most delicious Creme Brule that I have ever eaten. It was like my tastebuds were literally in heaven! It was baked just right, and just with the right amount of sugar. I finished that and was completely full with the greatest meal I have ever had!

"Ready to go?" Zeke asked.

"Where?" I asked hoping he wouldn't say: You'll See.

"Carnival."

My eyes lit up! I totally forgot the carnival was back here in Alberquerque. We got back in the and drove away from the gorgous dinner set-up and in the direction of the carnival.

After driving a few miles, bright lights blasted in our eyes. We were there at the carnival! I jumped out of the car and ran to the fence, looking at the Ferris Wheel, roller coasters, Tilt-A-Whirl, and everything else! I felt like I was a little girl again, but more free-spirited. Zeke came up behind me and grabbed my shoulders. I looked up and him and smiled. "Let's go." I said excitedly.

He smiled and I grabbed his hand. We walked into the opening, bought writsbands and, imediatly got in line for a roller coaster! Luckily, Zeke saw someone in line that he knew. But on the downside of that, it was Gabriella and Troy.

"Thanks, guys." Zeke thanked them. I just smiled politley at them, then looked away rolling my eyes.

I like Troy and all, just Gabriella's annoying. I hung out with her, Taylor, Martha, and Kelsi once, but she kept babbling on and on about how her and Troy were soulmates and bragged about her 'T' necklace and promise ring. Oh, and just, her laugh was getting to me too! It was the worst day ever! The laugh topped it off, though.

The line moved up and Zeke and me got in a cart for the roller coaster. With Troy and Gabriella behind us. I loved roller coasters, especially upsidedown ones, but I do get frightened sometimes. Escpeically on drops.

"THIS IS LOOOOOOOONG!" I shouted and grabbed Zeke's hand as we went all the way down.

Zeke started laughing at me. He laughed even more when we got off. My hair was all in my face. He pushed it back. I was laughing too.

After the roller coaster. We went on a few other coasters, Titlt-A-Whirl, and some other rides. Finally it was getting late, so we got on the Ferris Wheel.

"I'm a little uneasey with hights." I told Zeke.

He smiled and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Don't worry, Shar, I got you." he assured me. That made me smiled and I grabbed his free hand and held it.

"Zeke, thanks for everything, this was the best night of my life." I thanked him.

"Dido."

Our cart stopped and we were all the way at the top. I was a little scared, but I knew Zeke was there with me, and my stomach stopped spinning.

"This is so romantic." I sighed and looked up at Zeke, who was starring down at me.

I let go of his hand and place my hand on his shoulder, the other one around his neck. I leaned up and kissed him. His arms tightly wrapped around my waist, and passionatley, he kissed me back.

We pulled apart at a pop-ing sound and a giant flash. We looked out into the sky and saw a beautiful mixture of fireworks blasting off into the sky.

"Beautiful, huh?" I asked.

Zeke was looking at me still. "Beautiful." he mimmicked.

After a short bit of time, the Ferris Wheel ride ended and the park began to shut down. So Zeke drove me back to Lava Springs. We got at my suite door and looked at each other.

"Thanks again."

"Don't mention it, Sharpay."

I smiled. "Goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight."

I was about to open my door and Zeke was about to walk away, but I couldn't leave without a goodnight kiss.

He beat me to it though, because before I could turn myself to face him and had me in an embrace and had his lips locked with mine. As we pulled apart, we started at each other, our foreheads resting against the others.

"Goodnight."
