Sharpay looked at Gabriella again "Why don't you excuse us for a minute, I have a few details about the divorce to talk about with my soon to be ex husband".
She crabbed Troy's hand and pulled him away from the table as quickly as she could. As soon as they away from Gabriella, she spoke again "I did not sign up for this!"
Troy sighed "It's not that...bad" and looked over at Gabriella "But she's so hot".
She rolled her eyes and slapped his arm "I AM NOT PLAYING BEST FRIEND WITH YOU'RE LATEST HOOK UP, TROY" she almost yelled at him.
Troy quickly looked around if anybody heard her "Would you keep it down. Please, you promised you would help."
"I promised to meet her and give my pleasing, not to be friend her" she said, as she felt anger build up inside of her. Why did she always have to get involved in his hook ups.
Troy placed his hands on both of her arms to calm her down "Okay, listen to me, we're going to get through this. We'll just have dinner, you can go home and I'll take her home, meaning I'll put my moves on her and we never have to see her again. Okay?"
Sharpay was looking at his best friend, sometimes it really disgusted her how he took sex so casually, but she knew there wasn't any way of getting out of this situation "Fine, but you're paying for my meal and I will get the most expensive thing on the menu" she threatened him.
Troy rolled her eyes at her, because she was over thinking the situation "Okay, fine. Can we go back to the table now, before she get's suspicious?"
Sharpay took a deep breath and put on her fake smile and walked back to the table with Troy "Sorry about that".
"Is everything okay?" she asked looking at them both.
Troy smiled at her and took her hand across the table "Everything is fine. Just a few things we needed to clear up. Don't worry you're little cute head".
Sharpay wanted to throw up right there, his pick up lines where so awful, that it amazed her how he get's girls like he does. She really felt bad for Gabriella.
"So, Sharpay, that's a really pretty name, how did your mother came up with that?" she asked and gave her full attention to Sharpay.
"Oh I don't know, how did your mother came up with the name Gabriella?" she asked sarcastically. She always hated her name and she hated when anyone asked her where she got it from.
Troy didn't like her attitude and kicked her under the table.
"OW" Gabriella shouted and looked at Troy "Did you just kick me?"
Troy was horrified that she missed Sharpay and tried to cover it up, by looking at Sharpay "No, did you just kick her?"
Sharpay felt amused by that and looked at Gabriella "Don't take it seriously, his feet have a life of their own sometimes. I'm just glad to hear that his ding dong can actually dong."
Gabriella rubbed her knee and shook her head "Oh no, me and Troy aren't in that place yet" she said.
"Oh" Sharpay said and looked at Troy with a smirk.
He was afraid to know what she would say. It was like she was ruining their plan on purpose.
"Well I hope you'll have better luck then I did" was all she said and then she took a zip of her drink.
Gabriella was confused "What do you mean?"
"Nothing, she's just being a ex wife" he answered her instead and gave Gabriella a fake smile.
Sharpay was glad to be home. Her little Manhattan apartment. Her favourite thing was always to get a cup of tea, position her leather arm chair towards the window and look over the city. Her mind was at peace when she did that, and today, she felt like she never wanted to leave her apartment again. She still was amazed that she went along with Troy's lies. She really did feel bad for Gabriella, but luckily she knows that she doesn't have to play someone she's not again.
As she was sitting there and being in her own thoughts, she didn't even hear the front door open and close. She was so focused on what had happened today. Going over the dinner in her head, but mostly one thing in particular, the way Troy had looked at her when she entered the restaurant. She knows Troy since she was in diapers and she has never seen him looking at her like that. It was almost like...he maybe wanted her. But as soon as that thought crossed her mind, she laughed it off.
"What are you laughing at" said Troy, who came up to her from behind.
Sharpay startled and covered her eyes "You scared me".
"Sorry" chuckled Troy and sat down on the arm rest beside her, giving her a dramatic sigh.
"What's with you?" she asked "Didn't get it in tonight" she said with a fake smile, she hated to talk that way, but she was used to it because of Troy and how he acted.
"No, actually" he said and shook his head "I found out something horrible".
She was looking at him and wanting him to continue. She rolled her eyes at how he took a dramatic pause "Well, what?"
He sighed again "She doesn't believe in sex before marriage".
Sharpay bit her lip and looked around, she was trying so hard not to laugh at him. All of the lies were for nothing. She found it so amusing.
Troy knew she wanted to laugh "Go ahead, laugh away".
"No, I'm fine. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but hey, there is a bright side" she said and got up.
"Yeah, and what's that?" he asked looking at her.
She smiled and twirled around "I have new hair. Isn't it fabulous?"
Troy chuckled and shook his head "Yeah, best money I spent" he said sarcastically. He continued looking at her "Hey, let's go out. Just the two of us".
Sharpay looked at him weird "What do you mean go out? We don't do that" she said.
"Well let's go to a local bar and get drunk. When was the last time we hang out together?" he asked her again.
"Um, never. We don't do drinking together. Never have and you know I don't drink" she stated and walked over to the kitchen to clean her tea cup.
Troy jumped up and followed her "Well let's start now. You should drink, I've never seen you drunk in my life. Do something exciting for once".
"My life is exciting enough, thank you very much" she said while washing the cup.
"Really? You haven't had fun in years, admit it. I'm the most fun you have in your life" he said as he crossed his arms. He knew he was right.
She sighed and turned around to face him "What do you want from me, Troy? Do you want me to admit I have no life? That I'm a looser? What?"
Troy felt bad now, he never thought of her as a looser "No, I never think of you like that. You know that. I mean, just let's go out for one night. Just to a random bar, we'll drink, talk and have fun. Just the two of us. What do you say, huh?"
Sharpay was looking at him, she kind of liked the idea, but also was afraid that he would forget about her in the bar, as soon as he sees a girl. "Promise you won't leave me alone to flirt with other girls?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.
Troy stood up straight and crossed her heart "Promise. Just you and me".
"Fine. I guess I can go out this one time" she said and started walking towards her bedroom.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
She turned her head "I am not walking out of this apartment in my PJ's" she said and rolled her eyes.
Troy chuckled at her best friend. He was glad she was going out with him. They barely went out together at night, sure they had their lunch dates every day, but that wasn't the same. Now he can finally see her having some fun, he'll make sure, she'll never forget about this night. He will make it special. Just for her.
