A/N: I'm sooo sorry I haven't updated, I've been busy with a lot of stuff. To tell you the truth I forgot about the story at one point in time, but when I remembered it, I just couldn't find the time to update. Things are starting to slowly smooth down, so that should give me time to update a lot more.

Disclaimer: Didn't we go through this already? I don't own hsm…even though I would love to steal Zac Efron and hide him under my bed )

Day 4, At Sea:

Sharpay woke up to a killer neck pain; she looked down and noticed that she was in someone's lap. She quickly turned around and noticed it was Troy's lap. She instantly slapped her hand against her forehead remembering last night's events. She slowly got up, trying not to disturb Troy. Slipping back Inside, she slowly began to pace.

"Okay Sharpay, get a grip. Nothing happened….meaning you have nothing to worry about. Just ignore him, today is the day to go hottie searching."

With that she opened her drawers and pulled out a white and pink striped bikini, that showed a bit of skin, more then her other one. She knew the boys would instantly flirt with her and try every move they could, but she needed them to. She needed to convince herself that she can get rid of her stupid little crush for Troy.

She threw her hair up into a messy bun and grabbed a towel and her room key. She took one last glance at Troy through the balcony and walked out the door. She walked up to an elevator and pressed the up button. She waited patiently till it finally came. She stepped inside and pressed the deck button that lead to the pool. The elevator instantly moved and soon opened again. Sharpay got out and walked outside to the pool. She saw the pool full of kids. Sharpay didn't mind it, but she really wanted to be in a pool with people more her age. She walked upstairs to the adult pool and saw all the teenagers in it.

She smiled to herself. "Perfect!"

She walked over to a lawn chair and threw her down on it, with her room key. She turned to look at the pool and noticed Gabriella talking to some guys. She smiled as; she walked up the gang and slowly got in the pool. It was cold at first, but she shrugged it off.

"Hey guys!" She beamed.

Gabriella smiled. "Hey! This is Kyle, Max, and Keith."

Sharpay took at look at them. Kyle was probably the cutest, he had dirty blonde hair, his eyes were hazel and he had awesome abs. She turned her gaze to Max, who desperately needed a hair cut. He was starting to look like Surfer guy she met a while back. Keith was semi-cute. He was just way into that whole punkish look. Sharpay didn't mind, but he wasn't really her type.

"Hey guys" She flashed a sexy smile, more towards Kyle though.

They all looked her up and down; obviously checking her out. Which was what she wanted, but she couldn't help, but feel a bit uncomfortable. She wasn't like most girls that would soak up all the guy attention, of course when guys did it; she had to act like she liked it, to get the other girls jealous. A lot of people at her school, thought of her as a bitch, she never really was one, it all started when her ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend claimed that she stole him from her. Which was untrue, he obviously broke up with her, but her being a snotty bitch, made Sharpay look like the bad one. Ever since then, Sharpay just decided if people wanted to look at her as the bitch, then she would fill the role. Deep inside she was a really nice girl, that didn't normally sell her body to guys. In this case, she kept telling herself that its going to be a one time thing, at least till she gets Troy's face out of her mind.

"So Sharpay, how long have you and Gabriella known each other?" Max asked.

"We just met on the second day and became instant friends. What about you guys?"

Kyle flashed her a smile that could have sent her into a heart attack mode. "We've been friends since we were little."

Gabriella smiled. "Awe that so cute!"

The guys nodded. "So anyone wanna play a game?" Keith asked.

Sharpay laughed. "Aren't we a little too old for games?"

Keith shrugged. "Yeah, but it would be fun. We can play Chicken."

Kyle wrapped his arms around Sharpay's waist and rested his head on hers. "I call Sharpay."

Max quickly grabbed Gabriella. "I call Gabs."

Keith groaned. "Fine, I'll play winner."

Sharpay smiled as she climbed onto Kyle's shoulders. He grabbed her legs to keep her up and Max and Gabby did the same.

"Okay first one to knock someone off the shoulders wins." Keith said as he moved out of the way.

"You're going down Gabs!" Sharpay said as she started to wrestle Gabby.

Gabby laughed. "Bring babe!"

The two girls were wrestling till finally Sharpay knocked Gabby off. "Oh yeah, we win!" Sharpay jumped off of Kyle's shoulders and started to do a victory dance. Kyle laughed as he picked her up and swung her around.

"Beat that team loser!" He yelled.

Max groaned. "It was just a lucky game. You'll go down next time."

Sharpay smiled she was really starting to like these people. She was just about to say something when someone called her name. She turned around to see the one and only Troy.

"We need to talk." He said as he crossed his arms.

Sharpay groaned. "Not now."

He shook his head. "Well too bad, it's gonna be now." He grabbed her arm and pulled her to the other side of the pool, away from her new friends.

Sharpay growled. "What!"

"Why did you leave without waking me up, I thought something happened, so I start freaking out. Well while I'm freaking out, your out here playing chicken with guys that you just met in a bathing suit that just says 'hey rape me now!' I thought you didn't want to be like those girls." He yelled.

"You don't need to worry, I can handle myself. Stop taking my Dad's order so seriously! Oh and I can wear whatever the hell I want, so back off!" She yelled back.

Troy threw his hands up in frustration. "When are you going to see that I don't give a shit about your dad's orders!"

"Then start acting like it!" she yelled.

She didn't give him time to yell back, she walked off and joined her new friends that were giving her questioning looks.

"So your boyfriends pretty pissed off." Kyle said.

Gabby laughed. "Them two? Please their not going out; they just act like an old married couple."

Sharpay glared at Gabby. "Shut up Gabs! He's just my step-moms godson that needs to mind his own business."

Max laughed. "Probably trying to get in your pants."

Gabby rolled her eyes. "Please I dated a guy like Troy, and guess what. He didn't get in my pants. Turns out the guy that I thought loved me did, and guess what happened?"

"He only said he loved you to get in your pants." Max finished for her.

Gabriella raised her eyebrows. "How did you know?"

Max shrugged" Guys instinct."

Sharpay stayed quiet the whole time. She really didn't have much to say in this sort of topic. She was a 19 year old going to college who was still a virgin. Of course she had lots of guys that did try to get in her pants, but she knew they were just jerks and part of her was scared. She felt like an even more loser that she was going to be the only girl that was entering college as a virgin.

"So I think I'm gonna head back to my room, the water is making my skin all wrinkly." She said. She was lying, but she wanted any chance she could get to leave this awkward conversation.

Kyle wrapped his hands around her waist. "See you later."

She smiled "See ya."

"Are we still going to twist tonight?" Gabs asked.

Sharpay nodded. "Of course."

With that she left the pool and waved goodbye as she grabbed her stuff and walked to an elevator and pushed the down button. She waited till the doors opened and she got in. She pushed Deck 4, the doors closed and the elevator started to go down. The doors opened again and she stepped off. She walked down the long hall way to her room and stopped at her door. She quickly glanced at Troy's door and instantly felt guilt. She shook it off as she slide her room key and opened her door. She quickly went to her bedroom and changed into some shorts and a tank top. She took her wet bathing suit to the bathroom to dry. When she came back out she collapsed on her bed. She couldn't help but think that Gabby, the nice and quiet girl wasn't a virgin. If anything Sharpay should have been the non virgin one. She was a wild spirited girl, hardly never quiet or shy. What about Troy, how come every time she yelled at him, she felt guilty. She normally wouldn't feel guilty if she yelled at someone.

Sharpay sighed. "I need a list." She grabbed a note pad and a pen. She titled it.

'List of things to do, before the cruise is over.'

1: Drink lots of exotic drinks….just don't go too far to abuse the advantage of it.

2: Have lots of fun!

3: Meet new people.

4: Get a good tan.

5: See lots of shows for feature acting tips.

6: Get over Troy

It hurt her to write that, but she had to, she couldn't have these feelings for him. She needed to move on and let him be Stacey's Godson, while she just remained Sharpay, just a nice friend of troy.

Her list seemed to be more completed, but she kept debating whether or not she should write the next thing down. She didn't want to be desperate, but she didn't want to be singled out either. She finally made the decision to write it down.

7: Make love before cruise is over with.

Sharpay couldn't believe she just wrote that down. She was thinking about erasing it, till she decided against it.

"You need to suck it up and stop being scared. You need to be like that other girls and not have to worry about that subject when it comes up. "She told herself.

There was a knock at her door and she quickly hid the paper. She walked to her door and there was Ryan.

"Hey Ry." She smiled.

Ryan walked inside and sat on her couch. "Shar…we need to talk."

Sharpay looked at him; he had a serious face on. "Oh crap…this can't be good." She thought.

A/N: Okay so review! I know what your thinking about the whole sharpay wanting to have sex on a cruise thing, but don't worry I have a really good plot in my mind! I'm soo sorry again that it took so long to update. I made it pretty long to make up for it. I just hope it wasn't boring! Don't worry I'm gonna add some Ryella moments later in the story too, that is if you want me to put her with him. Give me some opinions and I'll do it.
