Chapter 5 – Scoffing Hamburgers

"…and I will have a Hamburger with chilli fries please." Sharpay smiled at the guy behind the counter as she added on her own order. She heard someone come up behind her and stand next to her.

"Wow… you really have changed haven't you?" Sharpay chuckled at his question and nodded her head. She looked at him and he seemed deep in his thoughts, she remembered back in High School he would do this, whilst everyone was texting or Gabriella and Taylor were doing homework, Chad and Zeke talking basketball tactics and all Troy would do was stare of into the distance, he looked so pure and vulnerable. Sharpay had spent every lesson staring at him, remembering, wishing it would be him that would hold her at night. "Sharpay?" Sharpay awoke from her trance and realised the guy behind the counter had her order. Troy looked at Sharpay suspiciously, whilst Sharpay merely smiled and grabbed some of the trays and headed over to the table, she stood up to get the rest and go pay. Troy placed the rest of the food on the table, looked at Sharpay who was just about to get some cash out. He shook his head. "Don't worry about it… its on me." He smiled at Sharpay and she gratefully thanked him.

Meygan cuddled up to Freddie as he was feeding her French fries, she giggled then remembered where she was and straightened herself up. Sharpay giggled at her friend, she was so immature sometimes…

Meygan nudged Sharpay in the rib and looked over at Alexa and Peter. Meygan was right, they did have a thing for each other. Sharpay smiled at them but felt a stab of jealousy. Why hadn't she found happiness yet? She'd always wanted to be quite a young mum, at least have a baby by 27 but it didn't look like she was going to get that. Will I ever find love? Sharpay sighed and picked at her hamburger, suddenly losing her appetite as she feel into a mood of depression, before she knew Troy had picked up her Hamburger and had started scoffing it for himself.

"Troy!" Sharpay squealed high pitched, that sent them both back to the old days of East High. Troy spat out the burger on Sharpay's plate from the sudden shock, he blushed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Sorry, but you weren't eating it." He was worried she was going to go all 'Ice Queen' on his ass, he breathed in heavily, waiting for a slap or maybe even a punch, he opened his eyes and saw he smiling, he breathed out and smiled back her, showing teeth. Sharpay felt her insides tighten up, Gosh he was so gorgeous…

Sharpay looked on as Meygan and Freddie walked down the street hand in hand, she noticed Alexa and Peter look very cosy up ahead as well, they were also accompanied by Troy. She walked behind them slowly, it was hard to walk in the Jimmy Choos. Peters stopped and looked at everyone expectantly.



"So where to now guys?" He asked, they shook their heads.

"I thought we were gonna go to a club or something?" Meygan asked and looked at Alexa and winked, knowing full well Alexa didn't want to say goodnight just yet. Everyone agreed and nodded except for Sharpay who stayed quiet. "Sharpay? What do you think?"

Sharpay stopped still and stood almost next to Troy and shook her head, she was tired either that or she just didn't feel like going clubbing right now.

"I don't think so guys, I just wanna head home!" Meygan nodded and looked at everyone else questionly.

"You want me to walk you home Shar?" Meygan asked. "Or Freddie?" Sharpay again shook her head, this time more fierce. No way was she going to ruin her friends evening so she could lay in bed and think about Troy.

"No its fine, I can get a taxi or something." Sharpay grinned at them to show she really didn't mind and that she was happy to catch a cab.

"I'll walk her home." Sharpay looked to her side as did everyone else. Troy looked at them all, as their eyebrows raised suspiciously. "Seriously I will, besides I'm not really in the clubbing mood right now!" This was strictly true because Troy only wanted to be in the club if he could feel Sharpay's body being pressed up against his. He reached out for Sharpay's hand and waved goodbye to everyone else. "Have a good time guys!"

"Thanks." Sharpay slightly whispered. "You didn't have too." She looked at him sincerely and he grinned. She allowed herself to imagine what it was like to be with him, to be married to him, to have him as the father of her child.

"I wanted too." Troy told her, meaning every word of it. He felt Sharpay shiver next to him and wrapped his arm around her. He saw her blush and chuckled quietly enough for her not to hear. He (not realising himself) pulled her closer to him. They fit perfectly, as if she had been born to fit him and only him. He loved the feel of her next to him, the smell of her scent and the feel of her warmth. He loved her.

As they approached Sharpay's house, Sharpay unwillingly pulled away from Troy, her smile turn to a some sort of 'grumpy' look or at least slightly annoyed. Troy looked at her and caressed her cheek. There was some sort of awkward silence between them. Sharpay and Troy both glancing at each other as the other looked away. Finally, Troy spoke.

"You've amazed me." He whispered. Sharpay, startled, looked at Troy confused and yet broke into a smile. "All those years, and yet here you are now completely changed. I lay in bed at night and wonder if those years in High School even existed. But they did. And I cant change that. No matter 

how much I want too. Its just… you weren't nice Sharpay." Sharpay bent her head down in shame and felt a tear trickle down her cheek, ashamed of what she used to be, pleased with what she had become.

"I know… but I've changed Troy, I swear I have!" Sharpay exclaimed, yet whispered at the same time. Troy chuckled and stopped realising how upset Sharpay was at the memories of her 'Teenagehood'. He pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her. He was a good 4 inches taller then her but that didn't matter to him. He lent down and kissed her ear.

"I know… and I love you for it." Troy knew he loved Sharpay but he also knew that Sharpay would never believed that he loved her. He reluctantly pulled away and cheekily waved goodbye. Sharpay slightly waved back too. Just as he was turning away, he heard her soft for once more.

"Troy… would you like to come in?"
