A/N: Sorry it took so long to update! School exams started.

Chapter Seven: Make um say Ahhhhh!

Sharpay and Zeke (Kitchen)

"Sharpay, are you okay?" Zeke asked starring over at where Sharpay was perched on the small stool.

"Where the hell have you been Zeke? Lisa is dead! How do we know if the others aren't either?" Sharpay asked in a shaky tone. Her body felt numb and she was wishing was anywhere but there.

"Sharpay, it's going to be okay," Zeke said trying to calm her down, rubbing the back of his neck as sweat slowly poured down his spine.

"No it's not, and on top of that it's like an oven in here," Sharpay rambled on feeling a thin layer of sweat growing on her body, "Can you open up a window?" Sharpay rested her head on the counter top and waited for any kind of breeze. But when she looked up all she saw was Zeke trying to pry the window open.

"Zeke…you have got to be kidding me," Sharpay exclaimed getting up from where she sat and gliding over to where Zeke stood.

"It's like glued shut or something," Zeke complained trying to pull the window up.

"Uh…let me do it," Sharpay belted after a moment of watching Zeke hilarious efforts. When she tried all that opened were the flood gates of fear and anger growing in Sharpay's mind, "It won't open!"

"I think I know that already!" Zeke exclaimed rubbing his sore hands together. They felt dry and rough, and a burning sensation was running through them.

"Try the door," Sharpay commanded, pointing over to a small hole like exit, cloaked in darkness.

"You've got to be kidding me," Zeke murmured, pointing his flashlight over the hole, but it was still as dark as ever.

"Just go!" Sharpay barked, opening up the freezer and pulling out a large, squared ice cube.

Gabriella (Ballroom)

"Joe? Nick? Kevin?" Gabriella called as she entered the ballroom. It was not as dark as the other rooms, she could still make out the outlines of the instruments and the tables pushed back against the walls. She felt a chill creep up her spine as she closed the door behind her.

"Guys, is anyone here?" She whispered into the darkness.

"I'm here." A familiar voice said in a sing song voice she had been waiting to hear all night. She jumped as a warm hand rested on her shoulder and twirled her around. Her lips met cool, damp ones and a rush of excitement flowed through her. As they pulled apart a smile broke out onto her face.

"Ryan!" She exclaimed wrapping her arms around his neck as he planted his lips on hers once again. When they finally pulled apart both of them were gasping for breath, "What are you doing down here?"

"I've been looking for you everywhere." Ryan informed her, running his hand through her mane of dark hair, "We need to talk."

"About what?" Gabriella asked him biting down on her lip. This was not going good. No good conversation began with 'We need to talk'. It usually ended with 'It's not you, it's me' or 'it's not you, no wait, it is you'.

"Have you told him yet?" Ryan asked growing suddenly serious.

"Told who what, exactly?" Gabriella said, trying to make this go on as long as possible.

"God damn it Gabriella! Have you told Troy about us?" Ryan asked again starting to grow a little tempered.

"I haven't really gotten the chance to…" Gabriella began but was cut off by Ryan's groan.

"Gabriella…that is it! I hate that you keep me in the dark. You don't want to break up with Troy, yet, you enjoy cheating on him with me! It's like you want two, way different meals."

"What are you talking about Ryan?" Gabriella asked him growing slightly confused since they somehow shifted to the topic of food.

"I'm saying, either you end it with Troy…or we have to quit doing what we're doing!" Ryan lashed out, crossing his arms over his chest. Gabriella was frozen in shock at what he'd just said. She loved Troy but she loved Ryan. He was her equal, her everything. But, Troy…well, he was Troy. He was the school's hottie and she didn't want to lose him.

"I-I can't Ryan…if I break-up with him, everyone at East High will hate me!" Gabriella answered beginning to cry.

"It's me…or them Gabriella! Make your choice!" Ryan exclaimed, placing his hands on Gabriella's shoulders.

"Ryan…I-I can't," Gabriella stammered her head hanging low. Ryan dropped his hands from her shoulders and took a step back away from her.

"You mean you won't."

Troy and Chad (Balcony)

"How do you know the doors are locked?"

"The bastard kept on rambling on, on how someone locked him inside the house. Looks like he had a partner and he was double crossed." Chad informed him, taking in the fresh air.

"So there are two of them, one of them has locked everyone inside the house and their running around attacking people!" Troy exclaimed running a hand through his mane of hair.

"Troy, calm down! All we have to do is climb down from here, get the doors opened and the girls and everyone else can get out of there." Chad said looking down over the ledge of the balcony, "It looks like there is a rope attached to the banister. If I can reach far enough I can grab onto it and climb down."

"This is crazy!" Troy exclaimed taking a step back.

"Crazier than a killer on the loose in this place? …I didn't think so," Chad stated the facts and made his way toward the rope. Inching further and further off of the edge. Troy held onto Chad's legs, making sure they were as far as possible from the otherside of the balcony wall.

"I got it," Chad yelled up after a long moment, "Let me go!"

Troy was hesitant, not wanting to let go of his best friend's legs.

"Just let me go, Troy," Chad sighed, his hands rubbing against the rough texture of the rope.

Troy groaned and let his best friend's legs loose. They slowly slid off the side of the wall banister and Troy could hear the thump of Chad's body slamming into the wall that was accented by a loud groan.

"Are you okay?" Troy called, peeping over the railing.

"Yeah, just a little sore," Chad answered dangling on the rope like a Christmas ornament.

Troy was starting to like the plan until he heard the sound of Chad screaming as he tumbled down to his demise.

All Troy could hear was the sound of Chad's screaming, being unable to see him actually fall.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Where is Arvin and Zeke? What happened to Martha and Kelsi? What is going on between Ryan and Gabriella? How did Chad's plan go horribly wrong?
