Chapter 12 – Old Faces

Sharpay finished of curling her hair, styling it so all her ringlets fell carefully of her shoulders. She put on the necklace that Troy had brought her a few weeks ago, which had a jewelled heart on it. A bit clichéd but Sharpay loved it. She was wearing a short, flowy black dress that had this straps and simple black heels. All in all, she looked gorgeous and of course Troy thought so too.

"Wow…Shar you look- Amazing!" Troy beamed as Sharpay walked down the stairs. Sharpay giggled, Troy looked quite handsome himself. He was wearing casual jeans a shirt. Troy had been round to see Sharpay in the afternoon after they'd had the row. Troy was scared and worried that they're relationship was over and Sharpay had calmed down. They'd both apologised and kissed and made up, before Troy knew it Sharpay as agreeing to go to the Reunion. Which resorted them to kissing and making up again. "You ready?" Troy asked Sharpay who was more than a little nervous. Sharpay nodded, taking his hand and holding it tight. She knew that there was no way she would be able to get through this evening if it wasn't for Troy. The love of her life.

"Troy, before we go. I just want to say thank you. For doing this with me, I wouldn't be able to do this if it wasn't for you!" Sharpay smiled and Troy kissed her cheek. They sat in his car, to which Sharpay but the radio on. It was one of their favourites – Forever by Chris Brown. Sharpay held Troy's hand and he drove them to old High School. She took a hold of it and lightly kissed it, he smirked. Half an hour later Troy stopped the car and got out of it, he walked around to Sharpay and opened the door. Sharpay stared at school, not even registering the fact that Troy had opened the door. Troy knew how scared she was; she looked so vulnerable and innocent. How could she have been that horrible person all those years ago? How could he not have seen the true beauty that hid within? He couldn't understand it, he knew that he probably never would.

"Sharpay…" Troy said gently, looking at her and holding out his hand for her too take. He had a sudden thought of her backing out and refusing to go in there with him, but Sharpay look up at Troy, smiled and took his hand.

"Gabbi?" Gabriella turned around, immediately recognising the voice that once belonged to her old High School best friend. Taylor waddled up to Gabriella, enforcing her into a bone-breaking hug.

"Taylor! I cant believe it!" Gabriella squealed, pulling away and then pulling her in for another one. "Kelsi? Martha? …Chad?" Gabriella went to visit each of them, pulling them into a hug after hug. She introduced them to her husband Marco, to which they were all polite and took his hand. Marco lightly kissing them on the cheek.

"So Taylor, how far gone are you?" Gabriella asked her penguin-waddler of a friend. Taylor laughed and said she was almost due.

"We almost couldn't come cause I thought I was having contractions!" Taylor dramatized. Gabriella looked at her confused.

"We?"

"Yes, Me and…My husband! You moron…" Taylor replied shaking her head.

"Your married! Is he here?" Gabriella squealed again clapping her hands. Taylor looked at her old friend as if she'd gone mad.

"Oh, that;s real polite Gabbi!" Chad said sarcastically. "Just ignore me why don't you!" Gabriella looked form Taylor to Chad and backwards and forwards, mouth agape.

"You mean-? You two-? But- you guys hated each other!" Gabriella said, almost losing her voice from all the squealing. The whole thing seriously shocked her.

"Yes Gabbi. Honestly and they say Science nerds are smarter then us Basketball guys! Ow!" Chad yelled as he felt Taylor hard smack on his arm. She gave him a look, which said. Don't even ask why you got that. You know why you fool. Chad sat down, a sulky look on his face. Like he was a little kid all over again.

"Well, you certainly keep him in line don't you!?" Gabriella laughed. "So, how many does that make?"

"Oh just our first one. I had a little problem getting pregnant to begin with." Taylor whispered to Gabriella, not wanting the whole East-freaking-High knowing her business.

"Yeah and she's being called Dublin." Chad said knowledgably. Taylor's happy face soon turned into frustration.

"How many bleeding times do I have to tell you? We are not calling our baby after your favourite freaking Basketball player. He was a paedophile for Christ's sakes!" Chad and Gabriella's mouths open.

"He was not a paedophile okay? It was not his fault that there were naked pictures of children everywhere!" Chad said defensively. It was only because he had grown up loving this man that he refused to believe all the lies.

"Whatever, Chad." Taylor muttered under her breath, loud enough to warn Chad to 'shut the hell up, before I end up going into labour!'

20 minutes later, Taylor, Chad, Gabriella, Marco, Kelsi, Simon(her husband), Martha and Kellie(her girlfriend) were all flow into a conversation of what had happened in the last 7 years or so.

"Hey, is Troy not coming?" Kelsi asked, getting a weird look from her husband. She rolled her eyes. "Relax, he's not an ex-boyfriend!" The rest of the group laughed whilst Simon just blushed and mentally decided to keep quiet for the rest of the night. Chad shook his head.

"I don't know I haven't seen him since about… 5 years ago! Speaking of which I haven't seen Sharpay since we left school either."

"Oh gawd, I hope we don't have to see Sharpay. She'll probably just boast about her career." Gabriella said, miserably. She'd always been a tiny bit jealous of Sharpay and the talent she possessed. She was especially jealous when she saw Sharpay in all the films and the platinum albums not to mention when she got her own TV show. She's never admitted it but she had always wanted to be a performer. Her mother thought it was a complete waist of time and whilst she was jealous of Sharpay she couldn't help but admire her for what she had done with her life. Taylor look up and almost screeched into Gabriella's ear.

"Taylor are you okay?" Martha asked a little concerned at the fact that Taylor was bouncing up and down on her chair, pointing.

"Oh my god, I think the baby's coming. Ow!" Chad yelled again. Taylor rolled her eyes.

"The baby is not coming just yet, you moron. Although if I have to keep hitting you it just bloody well might! Troy is right there!"

All seven heads turned at once, each on of them complaining at the neck pain they had just suffered.

"Wow…who's the hottie blonde chick with him? Ow!" Chad complained yet again as he received yet another slap from Taylor.

"Oh My GOD!! THAT'S SHARPAY!!" Gabriella screamed but not loud enough for Troy and Sharpay to hear them. She was slapping Marco's arm, which began to sting him after a while.

Troy felt Sharpay's hand shake in his, he smiled gently, wanting nothing then to just kiss her so hard right now as he knew that always worked at calming her down. He heard his name being called as he began to turn his head. He craned his neck until he sensed something being thrown at him. He quickly turned and grabbed the ball that had just been thrown at him.

"Ahh, so that's why you became professional!" Troy looked up, startled. He grinned when he saw Chad smiling at him. They immediately hugged and Sharpay found herself smiling at the scene she was witnessing.

"Sharpay?" Sharpay turned to see Kelsi, Martha and Taylor. She looked blank afraid that if she smiled, they would laugh in her face. Before she knew it they were all smuggling her with a hug. Gabriella stayed at the table with her husband Marco. Glaring at four of the girls. She didn't even hate Sharpay, not really. Just the thought of Sharpay being with Troy! It made her want to be physically sick.

Sharpay grinned at the girls, who had just hugged her but she couldn't understand why.

"Hi…guys."

"Wow, look at you Shar!" Taylor exclaimed. Sharpay grinned even wider.

"And look at you Tay! You look so beautiful! And you're having a baby!" Sharpay giggled at the cuteness of it. Taylor, Kelsi and Martha all raised their eyebrows amazed at the new Sharpay. They all soon (including Sharpay) burst out laughing and headed over to the table.

"You coming Shar?" Taylor looked at Sharpay. Sharpay looked at Troy, hardly believing this was happening. Troy nodded, taking Sharpay by the waist and headed towards the table along with a waddling Taylor. They each pulled up a chair and were introduced to the husbands and girlfriends of the table. Sharpay noticed Gabriella. Her look was uneven, causing Sharpay to blush but she smiled anyway.

"Erm…hi Gabriella!" Gabriella nodded but barely acknowledged her and went back to joining the conversations with Kelsi, Simon and Marco. Troy noticed this and placed his hand on Sharpay's, gently soothing it. She turned to him and smiled, her eyes beginning to water.

A couple of hours later and the whole 'gang's' opinion of Sharpay had completely changed. Except for Gabriella, of course. They had spent the whole time just talking about how their lives had changed and Troy and Sharpay were swamped with questions of how they had gotten together. They received oohs and ahhs and icy glares.

"Oh, so you're the pretty blonde, my daughter was obsessing about when she watching Troy on the show!" Kelsi exclaimed. Sharpay giggled and replied with 'I guess so.' They could hardly believe that she wasn't the same vain, bitchy, in-love-with-herself-Sharpay!

"Okay…testing? One, two, three." The microphone squeaked as everyone covered his or her ears. "Sorry." The teacher said to them.

"Oh, move out of the way – you're bloody useless!" A voice said, that was only recognized as Miss. Darbus's. The audience laughed at the mini show as Miss, Darbus began a slideshow of all the pictures from years ago. Many of them resulting in the Science Nerds (Gabriella, Taylor...). The Basketball guys (Troy, Chad, Jason…) and the Musical guys (Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi…) Sharpay's smile faltered when she came across a picture of just her and her long lost brother Ryan. Troy immediately looked at Sharpay when the picture was shown, already noticing a tear sliding down her cheek. She saw him looking at her and shot him a smile, to show him everything was okay.

"And now, Miss Gabriella Montez…"

Gabriella stood up and headed up the stage, taking the microphone. She flashed a grin to the crowd and began a boring speech of the memories of East High. A few people, including Chad, fell asleep on the table. Sharpay's head was starting to nod of until Gabriella took her speech to the worst. Something that Gabriella didn't even think she would ever do.

"..But of course, no one has changed as much as Little Miss Sharpay Evans. Huh Sharpay?" Gabriella glared at her, which caused Taylor to look from one girl to the other. Chad had also jolted awake. Sharpay stared at her, confused at what she would do. Confused at what she had possibly done too Gabriella but was soon to be reminded. "I remember when I first came to this school. Don't you Sharpay?" Sharpay looked at Gabriella blankly, she smirked. "Lets recap, shall we?"

"I remember when Sharpay had the biggest crush on Troy. She would make a complete fool of herself; whenever she was around him and she couldn't stand it that Troy didn't want her, but he wanted me." Gabriella smirked again as she noticed Sharpay flush. "It used to make me laugh all your little stunts. You know? Trying to ruin the TwinkleTowne performance. What didn't you like Sharpay? Couldn't stand it that I was better then you? Ha! And when you tried to steal Troy at Lava Springs. Even then he didn't want you. I just don't get why he wants you now! Your nothing but a fake, blonde haired bitch! You don't deserve anything you've got in your life. You! You didn't deserve to become famous and a 'talented' actress! Your music was shit!" Everyone gasped at Gabriella's outburst, she had a shocked look on her face too, but she didn't stop there. It didn't stop her from saying the most hurtful thing she could say. Not about Troy, not even about her own career…

"Where's Ryan, Sharpay?" Sharpay's eyes startled, tears immediately forming. She wouldn't, she couldn't! Troy looked up, pure hatred in his eyes, staring at Gabriella, who had an innocent look on her face. She gave a harsh laugh. "Even your own brother wants nothing to do with you Sharpay! He always hated you to!"

"That's enough Gabbi!" Troy yelled, standing up and looking at Sharpay's eyes, which were all smudged.

"No it's fine, I'm just gonna go." Sharpay stood up, resisting Troy's hands. She pushed him away and ran out of the building. Troy looked at Gabriella one more time before running after her.
