A/N: I couldn't stand the thought of posting this chapter on Monday because it's such a bad day to put up a chapter like this. After all this is the...oh just read chapter 22.

Chapter 22 Suddenly

"What?"

Sharpay watched Ryan disappear through the curtain. She had no choice but to follow.

Ryan signaled for the pianist to stop. He took the mic.

"Hello everyone. I'd like to say a few words before we go to the next song. I would've never made it here onto this stage if it weren't for one very special person." He motioned for Sharpay to come closer.

"This is my sister, my very best friend in this huge world, Sharpay."

Sharpay waved.

"I would not be standing in front of all of you if it weren't for her. So I'm going to let her have a wish she's always dreamed of."

Ryan gave the mic to Sharpay and headed for the piano.

Sharpay stared at the mic. No. No. He's not going to make me sing in front of all these people.

Ryan started playing the notes. Sharpay knew the song. But she couldn't sing it front of all the people.

She opened her mouth, "Suddenly, I..."

She looked at Ryan. He smiled.

"Am in front of the lights." She breathed. This was overwhelming, yet exciting.

"Everything, I'm feeling, scary and beautiful at the same time." Wow this is easy.

"And everyday, I try just to breathe. I want to show the whole world, the truth inside of me."

Sharpay turned and looked at Ryan. He gave the thumbs up sign.

"Suddenly people know my name, Suddenly everything has changed. Suddenly I feel so alive, In the blink of an eye, My dreams begin to reign."

Oh my gosh. This is amazing. I can't believe I'm here.

"Suddenly time,
feels like the wind
It changes everywhere I go.
I'm just trying to fit in."

"Now here I stand
And I'm still just that girl
I'm following my heart
In this amazing crazy world."

"Suddenly people know my name
Suddenly everything has changed
Suddenly I feel so alive
In the blink of an eye
Suddenly I am center stage
Suddenly I am not afraid
Suddenly I believe again
In a blink of an eye it's happening now."

She turned around again. Troy and Gabriella were sitting next to Ryan. Gabriella was giving Ryan a hug, and Troy gave Ryan a slap on the back. Sharpay smiled and found tears in her eyes again.

"As my dreams begin to reign
I want to say to love me for me
What's inside
I'm gonna be positive, not run away, so much for you
This is my life."

Suddenly, she heard a violin playing. She turned around. The blonde girl was there. Violin under her chin, playing the exact notes. Sharpay smiled at her and continued singing.

"Suddenly I am center stage
Suddenly I am not afraid
Suddenly I believe again
In the blink of an eye
My dreams begin to reign."
