A/N: Chapter 19! This story is ending pretty soon, I'm sorry to say. I'm still deciding on whether I should put an epilogue, or a sequel. I actually have all the chapters written out, all I have to do is put them up here.


Chapter 19 An Interesting Night

Troy, Gabriella, and Sharpay ran through the hall. They were leading nowhere. But Ryan's voice was getting closer.

Sharpay stopped and leaned against the wall. Troy and Gabriella stopped as well.

Sharpay sighed, "This is bad. We're risking a lot."

Troy looked around, "No one is here. We'll make it."

Suddenly they heard a gruff voice, "Hey! Get out! Didn't I send you kids away?"

It was the security guard.

Troy yelled, "Guys go! I'll stay here."

Gabriella and Sharpay didn't hesitate. They ran down the hall.

"Where do we go?" Sharpay asked.

"Just follow the hall. We have to find something."

They ran down the hall and found a door. Without thinking, Gabriella opened it.

There was a blonde girl with a violin under her chin. She was sitting in what appeared to be a dressing room.

"Hey! You aren't supposed to be here! I'm calling security!"

"Run, Sharpay!" Gabriella yelled.

Sharpay ran.

The blonde girl looked at Gabriella, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I'm Gabriella. Listen, we kinda need to be here."

"Why?"

"My friend, Sharpay, needs to see her brother."

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't call security."

"Sharpay is going to be devastated if she doesn't see her brother before he leaves."

"And where is this brother going?"

"Europe."

"Why?"

"Listen, whoever you are, there is no point of asking me these questions because Sharpay is already looking for him."

Gabriella headed down the hall. She heard the girl pick up a phone, "Security, we have a couple of kids sneaking around backstage."

She ran.


Sydney smiled. She hoped this would happen more often so she wouldn't be so bored at Ryan's concerts. My brother is going to Europe, what kind of lame excuse is that?

She looked through Ryan's bag. It was a total invasion of privacy, but he would understand.

She found a yearbook. Interesting enough.

She brought the yearbook to the couch and looked through it.

She found a picture of Ryan and three other people sitting on a huge fountain pretending to fall in. The caption underneath it read, "Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez, Sharpay Evans, and Ryan Evans fooling around near a fountain."

She smiled at Ryan. Then she read the names again.

Sharpay, Gabriella.

"I'm Gabriella."

"Sharpay needs to see her brother."

"I don't know where she is. I wish I did though."

Sydney looked at the picture again. Gabriella. The girl who she sent security after.

"Gabriella!"

She ran out the door, violin still in hand.
