Chapter 13 – Is It All Over?
Troy ran through the parking lot, his head turning every few seconds in search for a blonde. Once he spotted her, he put his training to good use and ran after her, Sharpay was heading down the road and right out of the parking lot.
"SHARPAY! SHARPAY!" She stopped as soon as she heard Troy call out her name, she should of known he would run after her, she guessed there was a part of her that still didn't believe what was going on in her life at that moment. You know, the fact that she had changed, dating Troy Bolton, maybe even made friends with Taylor McKessie. She knew it was too much to expect. She believed it was Karma. Karma, taking everything away from her because of the way she was all those years ago. Wasn't taking Ryan away from her enough? Did she really need to go through all this pain again? "Sharpay…" She felt his hand on her shoulder; she turned around to face him, her mascara dripping, and her eyes all bloodshot. Troy felt his heart break at the sight of her. He pulled her into a hug, breathing in her scent and he kissed her neck. He then leaned into kiss her on the lips but Sharpay pulled away before he could. She took a few more steps forward. "Sharpay?" Troy looked at her confusingly. She put her arms by her side and turned around again.
"What are we doing Troy?" Sharpay said, her tears sliding onto her lips.
"What do you mean?" Sharpay let out a cry.
"I mean us? Who are we trying to kid? Troy Bolton having a future with…Sharpay Evans! Oh please!" Sharpay pulled a face. "Do you really think that they are ever going to accept us?" Sharpay gestured to the school building, which was jam-packed with all of Troy's old friends, not Sharpay's. "I'm never going to be like Gabriella Montez or Taylor McKessie! I can never change who I used to be!"
"Yes, but you can change who you are now. I love you for who you are Shar! I don't want Taylor or Gabriella!" Troy tried to reason, taking hold of Sharpay. Sharpay gave out a harsh laugh.
"You did want her though." Troy let go and shook his head.
"That was in High School, Sharpay! What do you want me to do? Try and get rid of the memories for you? If I could I would. And I know I was a bastard to you and I know that that's what made you become worse and I accept that. I can never change the way I treated you back in High School, just like you can't. But that doesn't mean we can't have a future together." Sharpay shook her head.
"But she's right Troy! Gabriella Montez is right about me, just like she always was!" Troy said nothing but stared at Sharpay.
"What can I say Sharpay? I've told you that I loved you! I told you that I don't care who you used to be! Isn't that enough?" Sharpay blinked at Troy. "Come on Shar! Look at the past years. Think about how much you've changed. Martha, Kelsi, Taylor even freaking Chad was amazed by you tonight and the different person you've become. Why do you think Gabriella said the things she did!? It wasn't because she despised you Sharpay. It was because she was jealous!" Troy yelled.
"Tell me Troy! Why on earth would someone like Gabriella Montez be jealous of me? Okay, yes I have awards and albums and movies and my own show floating around. There are millions of girls out there, who would kill to have my career but you don't see them standing up on stage and spouting there mouths of about the memories where I was a cold-hearted bitch who tried to steal the basketball king from the science nerd!"
"Shar, no one even thought you were going to show up tonight and the fact that your beautiful, talented, you're the only one with your type of career. The rest of them are just accountants and teachers, not one of them has a life like yours. And you walk in those doors a completely different person. You shocked them. Think about it, when Gabriella walked through the door, I bet she acted like the innocent, squealish, high-pitched voice girl she was all those years ago. At least you've come back different and it's a change for the better!"
Sharpay stayed quiet for a few minutes after Troy's outburst, as if to think what information she could use against Troy, to stick up for herself although she knew Troy was right but Sharpay Evan's was not one for backing down – even if she is wrong!
"So, how does that change anything Troy?" Troy stared at her, breathing in and out as if to calm himself down. "She still embarrassed me in front of everyone, she still made me remember the way I used to be. The girl I've tried all these years to erase, to forget, to pretend she didn't even exist. And one speech makes me remember again and I bet you it made all them remember too Troy!" Sharpay took a breath and added, her voice faltering. "…And what she said about Ryan!" Sharpay let out another cry and another and before Troy knew it, she was In a full-blow out tear-jerker moment.
"I know…" Troy whispered, holding her and bringing her closer to him. "She had no right…" Troy whispered into the crane of Sharpay's neck. She abruptly pulled away.
"No right? Troy…again Miss Montez was right! Ryan probably did hate me! I know he was embarrassed to have me as a sister after what I did at Lava Springs. After that he would step away from me in the hallways, when I was talking to him he would pretend that he couldn't hear me and when we were just together alone, he would make excuses to not be with me. I knew that he wanted Gabriella too." Troy looked up at Sharpay. He no longer had feelings for Gabriella and as far he was concerned Ryan could have had Gabriella throughout High School. All that time, he had thought about, wanted, lusted after Sharpay even while he was with Sharpay, thinking that she wouldn't be interested when he could of just paid Ryan to get with Gabriella or something. Anything to end their relationship faster. "My own brother…" Sharpay whispered. "My own brother wanted nothing to do with me. That's when I knew I had to change. But I knew that I couldn't whilst we were all together at High School, no one would accept it. So I waited, waited till I had to leave for University or something. I became nastier and icier to everyone; it was as if I was burning it all away. Like, if the nastier I became the more it would just… disappear." Sharpay laughed at her stupidity, Troy lent his head down at the remembrance of the last few months of High School and how she had become worse. Much worse.
Troy looked up at the East High entrance doors, he didn't even need to turn around really. He heard the clickety-clack of her heals and knew she had entered the school building. He turned to see her in a simple pink dress with little heels on and little make-up. She looked so beautiful. He couldn't understand how so much venom, despite and insults could come out of some so…pure and gorgeous. She just didn't seem the type. You wouldn't think, looking at her the amount of cruelty that would come out of her mouth. He had decided last night, that today was going to be the day – he was going to tell Sharpay Evan's that he was in love with her, but now the idea just seemed preposterous. What was he thinking? Telling Sharpay Evans he was in love with her? What was he going to say?
"Oh hey Sharpay, listen I know you hate me and all cause I treated you like shit and all and put you through hell, not to mention that all my friends – which means the whole school hates you because of what I told them. And the fact that I am such a big head that I would assume you still love me even after the way I treated you. Why do you think I keep failing everything but P.E.? Cause I am so freaking stupid!"
Troy shuddered at thought. He'd give it a miss. Him and Sharpay? Yeah right! Like that would work out anyway! Besides like he imagined – after the way he treated her? He didn't have a hope in hell of a future with Sharpay, regardless of the way he felt about her. Troy turned around to head for class until he clashed into someone.
"Jeez BOLTON!! Can't see anymore, no wonder you're a complete goon on the Basketball pitch!" Sharpay yelled into his face, which made Troy quiver with fear. "Don't just stare at me will you, at least help me up, moron!"
Troy held out a hand to Sharpay, which she 'gladly' took, her polished nails wrapping around his strong hand. His skin clashed against hers. His tanned, her pale and yet they looked like it would be a perfect sample. Just imagine what their future kids may look like. That is if she didn't rip his balls of for pushing her to the ground!
"YO! Earth to Bolton!" Sharpay screeched, causing Troy to jump up – but at least it got his attention. "Your not even going to apologise?"
Troy began to stutter, searching for an apology coming out of his mouth but instead found himself saying something completely the opposite.
"Well that depends Sharpay, you going to apologise for being a stuck-up cow?" Troy blushed at the words he had just said, sure that he was in for it now. Yep there go his balls…
Sharpay scowled at him.
"You wish Bolton!" She stomped away, her heels making a dreadful noise as they were stamped on the floor, causing Troy to shudder, it was as if every stamp she made was breaking a bone in his body.
Great move, Troy. Oh yeah, she's really going to want to get with you now isn't she? Moron!" Troy thought, copying Sharpay's insult. See! Look at the effect the girl had on him? Jeez!
Sharpay watched as Troy headed into the classroom, he sat down purposely ignoring her looking at him. She smirked. He was afraid of her. Okay not the greatest thing to have over a guy such as Troy Bolton but what was she supposed to do? The guy – for some odd reason – didn't want her? You don't want Sharpay Evans? Sharpay Evans no longer wants you! Which of course results in pain and torture, courtesy of Sharpay Evans.
But there was something in the way; Troy had stood up to her. It didn't make her hate him any more, it didn't make her despise him or want to beat him up or anything of the sort. If anything it made her admire him and of course love him even more.
"The point is Troy. No matter how much I've changed. They are never going to get it. They are never going to accept me!" Sharpay said calmly, defending herself although she knew deep down she was wrong.
"God Damn It Shar! Were you sleeping earlier? They did accept you! Like I said, they were amazed at you and I think its safe to say that after night they were hoping to keep in touch. And if I know my old friends as well as I think I do. What Gabriella did – they will be on your side. If you can even have sides. But you can't blame Gabriella –"
"Are you standing up for her?" Sharpay said, raising her voice. She couldn't believe he was sticking up for that two-bit tramp. After what she did – after what she said?
"No, I'm not standing up for her. All I said was-"
"You are unbelievable Troy Bolton!" Sharpay began to walk away but Troy took hold of her hand pulling her back, he was much too strong for her.
"Sharpay, Gabriella is jealous of you – that's plainly obvious! That's why she acted the way she did!" Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"Whatever …Troy."
"Sharpay?" Sharpay who had began walking away again, turned around once more and a final time for that night. "What does this mean? Us? We're still …together right?" Troy asked a little to afraid at what the outcome may be. Sharpay shook he head.
"I'm sorry Troy. I think…I think we should end this before it causes any more pain and heartbreak. I'm sorry!" Troy looked away, a tear leaking down his cheek. He couldn't believe it was coming to an end. "I do love you Troy! Its just…every time we overcome a problem, another one comes along and I don't know if I can handle it anymore."
"Handle what Sharpay? That' life! Every relationship deals with problems!" Troy half-yelled. He couldn't lose her – he couldn't! Sharpay nodded.
"Your right, they do. Which is why I think I'm not ready. I'm sorry Troy. Its over!" Sharpay whispered and walked away, right out of the school and made her way home. She heard Troy call out her name, even heard him running after her but she called a cab so that he couldn't catch up with her. She sat in the back and just burst into tears.
"Sharpay? Please…I love you!" Troy whispered to himself.
