Continuation of Day 4 again:
Sharpay rushed around her room. It was only an hour till she had to be down at the theater for the show. She was having a hard time trying to find something to wear; she wanted to look cute and sexy, but not too sexy to where it came off sluttish. Now your probably thinking, what the heck! Sharpay Evans normally doesn't care if she is too sexy or not, but you see there are going to be men probably in their 40's and over. That just disgusted Sharpay to even think about exposing herself to possibly perverted old men. She finally decided on a baby doll green mini dress that had sequins on the top that had a flower right below it. The rest was thin material layered down to her mid thigh. (A/N: Look in my pro for the picture. I suck at describing it, but it's really pretty!) She quickly slipped the dress on and slipped on some open toed silver heels that had little rhinestones on the straps. She quickly put her hair up and left her bangs down in its natural state. (A/n: Just think of the hairstyle she had for the Hairspray LA premiere.) She quickly grabbed her clutch purse and stuffed her room key and other necessary stuff into it, then bolting out the door.
She quickly power walked down the hallway to the elevator and waited. The elevator opened and she quickly got in and pushed the button to her destination. She saw a teen couple laughing and holding hands while trying to quickly run to the elevator.
"Hey could you hold that for me?" The guy asked. While his girlfriend just giggled and smiled at him. It made Sharpay want to throw up. She quickly pushed the button to make the doors close. She saw the guy freaking out and couldn't help but smirk.
"What? You wanted me to hold it? I'm sorry, I seriously can't hear over this elevator music." She grinned. The doors shut, but not before she heard the guy yell.
"But this is no elevator music!"
Sharpay just rolled her eyes and walked out of the elevator once the doors opened. She quickly rushed to the theater and went in. She saw people gathering around on stage talking to the cruise director. She slowly made her way up there trying to find Ryan, instead she found someone totally opposite.
"Hey Sharpay." The voice grinned.
Sharpay groaned. She was about ready to rip her hair out of her head. Why did he always have to follow her everywhere? There he stood wearing a pair of faded blue jeans that had a few holes in the thighs and a black polo shirt that gave him that total casual sexy vibe, which she quickly pushed to the back of her mind. "Hey Troy, what are you doing here? You know that this is for the Contestants only right?"
Troy grinned. He could feel her annoyance towards him already and he loved every bit of it. "Yup."
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Soo…"
Troy decided he would play back. "Soooo…"
Sharpay stomped her foot with annoyance. "So what the hell are you doing here Troy?"
Just as Troy was about to speak Ryan came trotting over. "Hey Troy, good to see you made it!"
Sharpay quickly glanced and Ryan. "Say what?"
Ryan looked at Sharpay and smiled. "Sis, you look great!"
"Yeah I Know, now stop dodging my question." She snapped.
"Well technically it wasn't a question…" Ryan replied.
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Ryan Evans you better answer before I totally lose it on you." She warned.
Ryan slowly backed away. "Okay fine! Troy wanted to audition so I told him he could, simple as that."
Sharpay glanced at Ryan then over at Troy who had a wickedly grin on his face. "Why?"
"I thought I could see what it felt like. You two always talk how amazing it is and I thought, hey why not try it out!" Troy replied.
Sharpay scoffed and glared her eyes at him. "Ruin the talent show Bolton and I will personally cut off those precious jewels to where you won't have to worry about having kids in the future."
Troy couldn't help but smirk. He knew what he was about to say would piss her off beyond belief, but he couldn't help it. He loved to see her worked up. He sort of reminded himself of Derek from Life with Derek. Derek would always piss Casey off to see her reaction. Well that was exactly what Troy was doing. "Oh Sharpay, I never knew you were stalking me in my sleep."
Sharpay gave him a confused look. "What the hell does that mean?"
"Well how else would you know that my 'jewels' were precious? I mean you had to have snuck in and saw them, knowing full well that I sleep naked, I mean I just wouldn't go parading it around when I'm fully conscious and sane."
Sharpay's eyes slightly widen as she figured out what he was talking about. She could feel her skin begin to flush as she started to pale. "I never…well …I…sleeping nude?" She fumbled on her words. She was never good at a comeback when it came down to these little situations.
Troy started to laugh uncontrollably while; Ryan just gave him a sickening look. "Oh Sharpay, how you wish I slept nude, but my gosh, seeing your face after that comment just made my day!"
Sharpay's face started to flush with anger. "You are one stupid idiotic little jerk!" She screeched as she walked off.
Ryan turned to face Troy. "That was a little awkward. "
Troy just shook his head as he went to join the others on the stage. The cruise director was going over the list of what number the contestants where and to be sure for them to keep track on what number was on, so they knew when to get ready. This just made Sharpay bored beyond belief. When the Director was finally done yapping his mouth, he told the contestants to go behind stage and wait while the people started to come in.
Sharpay paced backstage hoping everything went well. She didn't want to mess this up, especially if Troy was going to be watching her every move. It turns out that he was before her, it just made her scoff, but she reminded herself that once the crowd saw his lame crap, they would be happy to for her to come on stage. She was Contestant number 8, while Ryan was number 4. How he got before her, she would never know. When contestant number 3 was done, she quickly went to the side of the stage to watch him perform. She heard the music of Sexyback playing and she almost dropped to the floor laughing.
"Why in the bloody hell would he sing that song?" She screeched while clutching her stomach from laughing.
"Maybe he thought it would attract the girls?" Troy suggested as she joined her from the side of the stage.
Sharpay only scoffed. "Yeah right, if anything he looks like Kip from napoleon dynamite trying to act sexy!"
Troy raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't Kip a nerd who acted sexy in the movie?"
Sharpay rolled her eyes. "No he was a 50 cent wannabe."
Troy frowned. "Now that's just mean."
"Well it's the truth!" Sharpay exclaimed.
Ryan's song ended and he ran off the stage. "So what did you guys think?"
Sharpay smiled. "I thought you were great, but Troy said you looked like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite."
Ryan raised his eyebrows and looked at Troy. "Seriously Troy…that hurt."
Troy shot his hands up and glared at Sharpay. "I didn't say that, Sharpay did!"
Sharpay scoffed and put on an innocent face. "Ry, I'm mean, but not that mean!" She gave her brother a hug as she walked off and waited. It was a couple of minutes till she saw Troy getting ready to go on. She quickly rushed back to her spot on the side of the stage to watch him. "This is going to be good." She smirked.
Troy walked out to the stage with a guitar in his hand; he made his way over to the stool that was set out for him. Once he sat down and got situated, he started to speak into the microphone that was in front of him. "I just want to dedicate this song to a girl, she knows who she is." He winked at the crowd and started to softly sing as he strummed his guitar.
You've got the best
of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
Based on your body language,
your
shouted cursive I've been reading
You're style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just
suggests
that this is just what happiness is
Hey, what a
beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses
Troy's eyes were showing such emotion. Sharpay knew the song was about her, she had a feeling she wasn't going to like this. The crowd seemed to really be into it though. Sharpay never knew Troy could sing like this, nor did she know that he could play guitar, it was like he was this person that she never met before.
Well it kind of
hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves
into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
'Cause
I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we
are, here we are
Although you were biased I love your
advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do
with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending
on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship
we're staging
And it's a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's
like, we are picking up trash in dresses
Well it kind of hurts
when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into
blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's
nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are,
Here we are
Here we are x7
After the song was over with, Sharpay could feel tears coming to her eyes. Of course the song wasn't completely bitchy; it just stated the obvious towards her. She cut people down to where it hurt them. She would have these hateful comebacks whenever she felt that she was being threaten. Sharpay didn't like the person that she was, but no one knew the real story that made her turn into this monster person that she was, nor did anybody ever try to care. Troy came off stage and noticed Sharpay standing there. He could see the tears in her eyes. He instantly sighed and felt bad. Sure he wanted her to know what it felt like when she said those nasty stuff, but he didn't mean for her to cry. He just wanted her to hear what he felt.
"Sharpay-"he started, but she instantly cut her off.
"Save it Bolton." She said as she made her way onto stage. She decided that she was going to get through this song and then she could go and escape the thousand of eyes watching her to only lock herself in her room and cry. She made her way to the center of the stage and posed with a hand on her hip as she waited for the music to come on.
(A/n: Okay so I was seriously clueless on what song Sharpay should sing, but since I'm watching Camp Rock and this song came on, I got to thinking that this seriously sounds like a sharpay song that she would sing lol. So thank you Camp Rock for solving my song crisis lol.)
I'm too cool for my dress
These shades don't leave my head
Everything you say is so irrelevant
You follow and I lead
You wanna be like me
But you're just a wannabe, love it or hate it
I can't help the way I am
Hope you don't misunderstand
But I'm too cool, too cool
Yeah I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
Sharpay instantly put on a fake smile as she danced around the stage and acted like she was having a good time, when in reality she was feeling miserable inside.
You think you're hot but I'm sorry you're not
Exactly who you think you are
Can tell you what that you haven't got
But when we walk into the room I'm too cool for you
You're lucky I'm so nice
Even I'm surprised
You're still allowed to be in my crew
I'll show you how it's done
If you want to be someone
Just watch me and you'll learn some
Me, myself and I agree
You'll never catch up with me
She made her way to the middle of the stage as she begin to shake her hips, which of course got the guys in the crowd to cheer in whistle, which only caused her to hold herself back from rolling her eyes.
Cause I'm too cool, too cool
Yeah I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
You think you're hot but I'm sorry you're not
Exactly who you think you are
Can tell you what that you haven't got
But when we walk into the room I'm too cool for you
You see some are born with beauty, brains and talent and they got it all
While other have to try all their lives still they never get the call
That's the difference between you and me
Obviously
I'm all natural
I'm the real deal
I can't help the way I am
Hope you don't misunderstand
But I'm too cool, too cool
Yeah I'm too cool to know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
Too cool, too cool
Yeah I'm too cool, to know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
Sharpay quickly bowed as the crowd began to clap for her. She quickly made her way off stage as she could feel the tears threatening to fall from her eyes. If that song didn't show just what kind of person she was, then she didn't know what did. She quickly made her way outside of the theater and found her way to the elevator. She pushed the up button and waited as she could feel the hot tears begin to fall down her cheeks. The elevator doors opened and she quickly pushed her deck and made the doors slam shut. She didn't care who was trying to get in. All she wanted to do was go to her room as quickly as possible, which soon came true, as she heard the lady's voice call her deck out as the doors opened. She quickly made her way out and practically ran to her room. She opened her clutch purse and fumbled for her room key. As the tears kept blurring her vision she had a hard time trying to find it. She let out a frustrated scream as she hit the door. She was soon startled as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She quickly turned around to come face to face with Troy.
"Sharpay?" He asked concerned.
"j-just g-get away from me!" She stuttered out.
Troy frowned. He never saw her so fragile and broken. He didn't mean to hurt her this bad. "I'm sorry Sharpay…I never intended for this to happen. I mean the song wasn't that bad…was it?" He asked
Sharpay stared at him with hatred eyes. "I hate you Troy Bolton. I hate you!" She cried as she began to bang on his chest as if she was really trying to beat him up.
"Whoa Sharpe!" Troy cried as she grabbed her fist with one hand and quickly got his room key from his pocket with his other. He slipped the card in and carefully guided Sharpay into the room where they wouldn't cause such a public seen outside in the hallway.
Once they were fully inside she yanked her fist out and begin to hit him again as more tears begin to pour out. "How dare you! How dare you point all those things! Do you think I like being who I am? Do you! "She screamed which caused Troy to jump back a little. "I hate who I am, I hate who've I've become each and everyday, but I can't change that! I hate having to boss Ryan around like he's some sort of rag doll and I hate having people call me the ice queen because I'm the bitchiest girl in the whole school! I hate having to put up an act that makes people not want to even talk to me nor see me! I hate…" She paused. "I hate being me." She softly whispered as she slid against the wall to where she sat on the ground with her knees pulled against her chest as she cried. Troy felt his heart break as she watched her. He had a feeling that it wasn't his song that upset her; it was what the song reminded her of. He walked over towards her and sat down next to her. He took her into his arms and began to softly rock her back in forth and rub her arms. He figured he would wait till she was calmed down to actually talk to her. So he continued to rock and rub her arms till she finally lifted her head off his chest.
He softly whispered in her ear. "Are you ready to talk?"
Sharpay nodded slowly as he took her hand and lead her to the bed where they both sat and waited till she spoke. She cleared her throat and started to tell her side of the story. "I never meant to be this person Troy, I just sort of did. I used to be the nicest person you've ever met. At least I was till I started to date Josh Hill. He was the sweetest guy ever. We started going out about a month after he dumped his ex-girlfriend Kelly. Of course Kelly wasn't over him yet and when she found out that we were going out, she started to spread all these lies. Like I stole him from her and it was my plan to break them up all along. You see when they broke up; he found her kissing another guy, which she claimed she was set up, by me of course. I didn't even know the guy nor did he go to our school so how in the hell would I have been the evil master mind to that one? But everyone listens to Kelly, because she is like the goddess at our school. She even said that I sent threats to her to stay away from Josh. Soon after everyone started talking about me and of course Josh found out. He still cared about Kelly and became angry with me for even saying such rude stuff to her and for even thinking that he wouldn't find out about my plan on breaking them up. So there you have it. I was known as the bitch that stole Kelly's boyfriend. I thought if everyone was going to talk then why not go a head and just give them what they want….a bitch."
Troy couldn't believe what he heard. Where people at her school really this cruel? He was glad that he didn't have to experience this when he was in high school. Then again he was a guy so he probably wouldn't have it as bad. He knew that girls could be pretty mean and he wasn't going to lie there were times he was glad that he was guy. "I'm sorry; I know that song probably didn't help either. I mean if I knew what it was going to do; I wouldn't have even picked it out and sung it." He quickly stated.
Sharpay just nodded. "It's alright. You didn't know and you were just tired of my nasty comments and rude remarks. If I was you, I probably would have done the same thing." It was quiet for a while till Troy finally spoke.
"I have a question. You don't have to answer if you don't want to." He said. She simply nodded as to telling him to go on. "Well….I mean no one on this boat knows you, so why don't just act nice? I mean ever since you've step foot on this boat….well don't take this the wrong way, but you've been mean." He stated.
Sharpay nodded. "I guess its cause, I really don't know how to be nice, I mean I've been nothing but mean for a while now and its just sort of stuck I guess."
Troy nodded. "Well how about this. Let's make a deal. You at least try and be nice and if you succeed by the time this cruise ends. I'll do whatever you want me to do. If you want me to pay you money, I will. Or anything else at that."
Sharpay seemed to think about it for a while till she finally nodded her head. "Okay fine. You got yourself a deal." She said as she slowly stuck her hand out.
Troy looked at her like she was crazy. "Seriously…we're going to shake on this?"
Sharpay scoffed. "Duh, it's what all business like people do when they do this stuff."
Troy just laughed and shook her head. "Sharpay Evans you are one weird person, but in a good way." He said as she smiled to her. She sent him the same smile back as she looked into his eyes. She felt like she could just stare at the way they shined when he was happy or how they seemed to just attract her. Troy felt the same way when he stared back into her hazel eyes. They soon felt their faces becoming closer and closer as their lips were almost about to touch till Troy's phone started to ring, which caused them to quickly spring apart. Troy grabbed the phone to answer it, as Sharpay just stared at the wall wondering what would have happened if the phone did ring. She was so caught up in the moment to where she forgot about not falling for him. She promised herself that she was going to get her mind of him, yet here she was just about to kiss him. She seemed to be brought out of her daze when Troy hung the phone up and turned his attention back to her.
"It was Ryan. He just wanted to make sure you were okay. He said that he was worried when you didn't even stick around to see the other performances. I just told him that you weren't feeling well and you were staying in my cabin…I mean if that's alright with you. I just figured you didn't want Ryan to be banging on your door questioning you and all, I mean if you want, you don't have to-"Sharpay simply cut him off by kissing his cheek.
"It's cool and thank you. I'm really in no mood to deal with Ryan right now." She said.
Troy nodded "I uh, don't have any girl night clothes or anything, which would be pretty damn weird if I did, but anyways um I guess you could use whatever I have in my draws if you want." He said as he pointed towards his dresser. Sharpay nodded as she made her way towards there. "I'll just uh, go change in the bathroom." He said as he grabbed his night clothes off the chair next to his bed and went into the restroom. Sharpay started to dig around his drawers till she found a pair of basketball shorts that she pulled on and rolled up to where they wouldn't fall off. She then threw on a basketball shirt that was a little big, but she didn't mind. She climbed into his bed and waited till he came out. When he did Troy almost stopped dead in his track when he saw what she was wearing. He had to try hard not to smile when he saw that she was actually wearing his basketball clothes. He had to admit, they looked a lot better on her then they did on him.
"You can pick which ever side you want. I'm really not that picky on sides." He said. She simply nodded as she climbed under the covers on the right side and watched as he climbed in over the left side. He turned the light of and simply kissed her cheek. "Night Shar."
Sharpay smiled and replied. "Night Troy." It was silent for a while till Sharpay couldn't help but ask. "Troy?"
He kept his eyes closed as he answered her. "Yeah?"
"You never told me that you could sing and play guitar." She tiredly said.
Troy chuckled. "I know, you never asked. Plus I told you that Basketball was more my thing. I mean I sing and play instruments on the side, but that was a long time ago."
Sharpay raised an eyebrow. "How long?"
"Oh about a year or so." He replied.
Sharpay rolled her eyes and playfully smacked his arm. "Troy that's not long!"
He laughed. "Yeah well let's just say it's a long story that is better saved for another time."
Sharpay giggled. "Fine, but that story will come up, I promise you."
Troy just rolled his eyes and laughed again. "Oh believe me, I know. You're like the queen of getting stuff out of people."
"Ahh you've caught on so well Troy." She said as she laughed. "Night again Troy."
Troy smiled. "Night again too Sharpay."
Soon they both were fast a sleep with smiles on their faces. As much as Sharpay wanted to not fall for Troy, she found it becoming a harder and harder task.
A/N: Okay so there you go! I made it pretty long to make up for the days I didn't update. I'm sorry if Troy or Sharpay seemed a little out of character. I know some of you were waiting for a Troypay moment and I figured it was time to finally give you guys one. Hope you enjoyed! I'm sorry if there are some spelling or grammar mistakes, its 2 in the morning so I'm pretty drained and way too tired to read back over it and correct it lol. I don't know when the next time I will be able to update, but remember I won't abandon this story, I refuse to lol. Also please review!
