Chapter 5: Valentines Day

Sharpay's PoV:

I jerked and woke up suddenly. I had a dream. It was quiet simple, I was just falling and falling and when I hit the bottom, I could actually feel myself hit the bottom of something and that was when I woke up. There's a myth that this dream would make you grow taller. I used to believe in that, but as I got older it was just like, "Sure..." I threw a glance at the clock, and the calendar and realized that today was,

"Today is Valentines Day!" I exclaimed excitedly, letting the words sink in.

I jumped out of my bed and started hopping and jumping around squealing, 'Today is Valentines Day.' I misplaced my foot on the spiky bit of the hair dryer cord, where you plug it in, and now I was prancing, hopping to get to my bed. I screamed. Not that full volume scream, just that squeaky scream.

"What's wrong?" My mom burst in asking.

"That spiky punk!" I said with much hatred, pointing at the hair drier.

"Huh?"

"I stepped on that thing! The spiky part of the cord!"

"You won't die. Come downstairs in 5 minutes for breakfast," My mom smiled.

"Alright," I replied.

I walked over to my wardrobe and jerked it open. There was an outfit already there. Then I realized that the girls were over last night until nine trying to figure out what would be good for me. It was a fun night. It was a homework free night and I used it to advantage and invited the girls over. I smiled at my organization skills and was about to walk into my bathroom when a knock was heard.

"Mom asked me to get you for breakfast," Ryan said.

I didn't say anything. He knocked again; I strode over to the door and jerked it open. At first, I smiled at him, but seeing his cold, expressionless face my face also twisted into a scowl and we just stood there staring at each other with intense hatred. I walked back to the bathroom, quickly grabbed a hair tie and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut behind me. Ryan followed me.

"Gees, stop following me."

I whispered fiercely to myself as I pulled my high stool out of its place. I plopped down on it, roughly which earned a funny look from my mom and a concerned look from my dad. My dad cleared his throat and rumpled the newspaper. My mom flipped the pancake in the air and placed the already cooked pancakes on our plates.

"Good morning, Sharpay," My dad said with a smile.

"Good morning dad," I pushed the thought of Ryan out of my head, "Happy Valentines Day, mom and dad."

"Thank you dear, happy Valentines Day to you too," My mom and dad said with a smile.

"Sharpay, Ryan, tonight your father and I will be out for the night. I want you guys in the house by 11. Sharpay, make sure that you are with someone you trust at all times," My mom said seriously.

"Oh sure!"

"That's done then."

After breakfast I rushed upstairs to my bedroom. I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth and stepped outside to get ready for the first Valentine's Day that Troy and I were going to have as couples. That thought gave me the Goosebumps. Not the ones you get when you're freaked out, the ones you get when you get when you are extremely pleased about something.

I wore the outfit that the girls chose for me. The dress was a knee-length, ruffle strapped brown dress which had an empire waist line and pink and white polka-dots. They were exclusively from Japan and my uncle had gotten it for Christmas, when he came to visit us. My shoes were a pair of pink Chanel which had a net design around the toe, and an ankle strap with the logo CC. I packed my needs into the pink and brown Juicy Couture bag. I put on my pink bolero, my black knee, toe socks with pink trimming and sat down in front of the mirror to curl my hair. After I curled my hair and put the headband on the doorbell rang. I made sure I was truly ready before I ran downstairs.

"Bye mom! Bye dad!" I exclaimed grabbing my bottle of fresh orange juice from the table.

"Bye sweetums. Troy is in the Lounge Room," My mom said.

I walked hurriedly over to the Lounge Room with both fear and excitement. I was excited because of the possibilities of all the romantic things, Troy might have planned for me and I was scared in case Troy had forgotten what today was. The back of the couch was facing the entrance I was coming through. Troy had the TV on and was watching the news. I crept up behind him and put my hands over his eyes.

"Guess who," I giggled.

"Uhh ... I have no idea!" Troy joked around.

I took my hands away from his eyes to show him mock anger. But the moment I pulled my hands back he turned around and kissed me. He started moving back. Just as we were about to break it off, I stumbled and fell on the couch. Troy laughed and helped me up.

"Let's go," I suggested holding out my hand.

"Wait, I wanna say good-bye to your parents," Troy said and walked back to the kitchen.

"Bye mom, bye dad, we're going now!" I yelled, "C'mon Troy, we're going!"

My hands found his hands and we intertwined our fingers and swung our arms forward and backward. I caught the bus ever since the start of the year with Troy. Ryan would sometimes catch the school bus when my mom and dad urged him to. But most of the time he acted like a spoilt brat and made my mom and dad drive him and sometimes Gabriella too.

"Hey baby, guess what today is?" I heard a nearby couple and turned to look at them.

"Ewan ko. Ano?" Shella's NEW boyfriend, Richard said.
("I don't know. What?")

By the looks of it, he was another Caucasian. Another Filo to be more specific. Since when were there so many Filos?

"Diyos ko!" Shella said, rolling her eyes and turning around slightly.
("My God!")

"Biro Lang! Happy Valentines! Mahal Kita bebs!" Richard said cracking up.
("Just joking! Happy Valentines! I love you bebs!")

"Happy Valentines! I love you too! Ikaw ang pogi ko!" Shella said and hugged him.
("Happy Valentines! I love you too! You are my pogi!")

"Hindi. Ikaw ang cutie-pie ko!" Richard said.
("No. You are my cutie-pie!")

I turned around as they started to kiss. It was then I realized that Troy hadn't said that to me yet. Disappointment grew up fast inside of me and I abruptly let go of Troy's hand. He looked at me with a troubled look. But I swear there was a twinkle in his eye.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"What's the date today Troy?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"14th of February. Why? Did you not look at you calendar this morning?" Troy shrugged.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" I asked.

"Oh no! Yes I am! My English Essay! I left it at home! Dang..."

"That's it?"

"Yeah..."

"OK," I shrugged slightly.

The bus came down the road and stopped in front of the crowd who were catching the bus. I went to the backseat where I saw Taylor and Chad and Jason and Kelsi sitting together. I went to the back of the bus and sat down next to Taylor with a frown on my face.

"Sharpay that is such a cute outfit! I love it!" Kelsi cooed.

"Thanks," I huffed, "at least you think so. Someone didn't even compliment me on how good I looked this morning."

"Let me guess, Troy?" Chad asked.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Uhh ... it's sorta obvious," Chad started rather nervously and went back to staring out the window.

"Why, what did he do this time?" Taylor asked.

"He forgot what today was!" I exclaimed, clearly upset.

Troy couldn't sit with me because the others pulled them to sit with them. Why did my boyfriend have to be the most popular guy at school? I sat there with my arms crossed until we got to our school. Troy was waiting outside of the bus for me and when I came out he draped his arm across my shoulder. I tried shrugging it off but his arm was too heavy. I gave him a glare and kept walking. We entered the school and suddenly these guys rushed in front of me with choreographed outfits and Troy jumped in the middle and they started dancing to the music that seemed to have come from nowhere. My eyes widened.

"Happy Valentines, baby."

Troy said when the dance came to an end. Let me tell you this, the dance wasn't those weird moves they were full break dancing mixed with funk, hip-hop and cute-ness. And the dance went for about 5 minutes. I smiled at Troy and Troy smiled back. We gave each other a hug and I gave him a kiss as the boys that helped him departed to go to their sweethearts.

"Aww, Troy! You are so sweet!" I exclaimed, totally amazed and we started walking to our lockers.

"You thought I forgot, didn't you?" He asked me, putting his arms around my shoulders.

"No! I just ... was impatient." I replied and held his hand that was dangling on my shoulder.

"But the surprises don't end there!" He winked at me.

"Huh?" I opened my mouth to demand he tell me, but it was sealed with him kissing me.

We got to our lockers and my eyes widened again and I could feel my lips break into yet another huge smile. My face was red and the room was getting hotter! Beside my locker were helium filled balloons that had sweet messages on them. They were held on the ground by rocks covered in tissue paper. One that caught my eyes had a Rose in the background and the wordings, 'You have a special place in my heart.' I looked sideways at Troy and he was looking at me with hopeful eyes. I turned back to my locker, somehow knowing that there were going to be more surprises. And I was right.

"Oh my gosh, Troy! This is so amazing!"

I exclaimed as I opened my locker to find a medium sized red heart box bound shut with a ribbon, full of chocolates. There was a card with a medium sized 'Me-to-You' bear. And a handful of coupons of what Troy could do to me. I dropped my Juicy Couture bag into my locker, took hold of the box, the card and coupons and the me-to-you bear. I held those gifts close. I walked over to Troy and gave him another kiss.

"You must be the most romantic guy here!" I said in between kisses.

"As long as I made you happy, my goal is accomplished."

"I love you!" I exclaimed.

"I love you morest!" Troy exclaimed.

We broke apart just as the bell went. I grabbed my things, along with the presents from Troy. We had Homeroom, Food tech/Language and then free period. I was ecstatic with all these things Troy was showering with, but I never knew that my day was going to get better...

After Food tech/Language...

Finally it was Free Period!

I bursted out of the Food room as fast as I could. In there was a mess. I had accidentally let my pie cook for too long and it ended up ... well let's just say it ended up in a place where it would be welcomed.

"Hey there," Troy said and wrapped his arms around my waist as he came round the corner.

"Where are we going?" I asked giggling.

"Secret!" Troy exclaimed and started blindfolding me with a scarf that smelled a lot like him.

We were walking and I bumped into a couple of things on the way, all thanks to Troy's great skill of directing. And then I could feel that we were walking up a staircase. When we stopped moving, Troy took the blindfold off of me and all I could see was a beautiful landscape and a little picnic kit. I smiled at Troy and hugged him.

"I'm so lucky to have you!" I said.

"Me too!" Troy agreed stroking my hair.

We sat down on the little mat and started talking and eating. Who knew Troy Bolton was so ... cute, funny, the bestest basketball player in the whole world, a gentleman, kind, awesome, lovely ... and did I say cute?

"Sharpay?" Troy nudged me.

"Yeah?" I nudged him back.

"Did you know that I love you?"

"Yes!" I giggled, "Did you know that I love you!"

"Hmm... let me think about it!" Troy joked which earned him a playful punch.

"Ouch, you hurt me." He pouted.

Who in their right minds would be able to resist that cute pout? I shook my head, pretending to hate myself and kissed him. Why was Troy so cute?

"Feeling better now?" I asked.

"Yep!"

The bell ran and we went back to our classes. From then on we had same classes until Lunch. My luck was on fire today! I never expected the day would get even better than this!

Lunch Time...

I was blindfolded again, as we went on the limo.

"Where are we going?" I asked, knowing what the answer will be.

"Secret!" We both said at the same time.

Troy had gotten a special pass for the two of us and parents consent to let us go out of school at Lunch time, promising to come back when Lunch period was over. And then we walked down the street and found a limo. We both got in the limo and were carried off. After a while of wild guessing between me and Troy the car finally came to a stop and we got out. Troy escorted me.

"Where are we?" I asked for the tenth time.

"Look for yourself!" Troy said and took the scarf off of my eyes.

We were standing in front of a Japanese restaurant. My eyes widened and I couldn't wait to taste all the yummy things. Especially sushi! I mean, they did sell sushi in a Japanese Restaurant, right?

"Aww, Troy! For me?" I asked flattered.

"Who else? I came here because of your love for sushi," Troy said.

As soon as he said that I couldn't help myself. I turned around to face him and hugged him tightly. I pulled back and started pecking him with kisses everywhere on his face. His cheeks, his forehead, his nose, his lips ... et cetera. Troy laughed as I hugged his arm and we walked inside the restaurant. As soon as I walked inside I was already satisfied. It was those kind of restaurants that had those train thingos on this high table thing. There were separate rooms with tables in them for larger groups of people. I urged Troy to walk faster. When we got to our seat on the high table I didn't hesitate in ordering...

That evening...

"Who is it?" I asked as I walked downstairs to answer the door.

"It's us, Super Sheng, Jaques, Nevaeh, Gabriella and Taylor!" Shella said and rapped on the door again.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I yelled.

When I jerked the door open, the girls poured in and started screaming their lungs out. I was scared. Who knew that they could scream so loud, but then again it was 5 people we were talking about. They attacked me by hugging the living daylight out of me and walked to the lounge room, dragging me behind them and stood there, too nervous to sit down on the couch.

"Sit down, sit down," I said.

"Oh, we're so nervous and happy for you!" Gabriella squealed.

"We heard of all the things Troy did for you!" Taylor said with a bright smile.

"Who knew he could be so ... sweet?" Nevaeh asked.

"And we also heard about the date!" Jaquelyn said.

"So we came here to choose your outfit for you!" Shella exclaimed with joyous eyes.

"Oh that's a relief! I was thinking what I should wear for tonight!" I said nervously.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go to your room!" Shella said and led the pack to my room.

Once we were in the room- Nevaeh, Gabriella and Taylor were in charge of my make-up and my hair, while the two other girls were in charge of the outfit. I was seated in front of my make-up table as the girls got to work.

"But how do you know what I could wear and what I can't?" I asked, realizing that fact.

"Oh, we consulted the guys and you know. Richard's helping Troy as well with the outfit," Shella said with pride, "You might not think it's the greatest outfit, but I'm telling you Japorean Exchange student look is the funkiest!"

"Japorean?" I repeated with great confusion.

"Japanese/Korean. Watch Tokyo Drift or something like that and then you'll know what whe're talking about ..." Jaquelyn informed as she dug a white blouse out.

"Sharpay look straight ahead please!" Taylor snapped her fingers.

After about an hour later, I stood in front of my mirror with the girls surrounding me, beaming. My hair was wavy and my fringe swept to the side. I had a white blouse on with a black skirt above my knees but not quiet reaching the middle of my thigh. A pair of pink knee socks with star patterns underneath white leg warmers, complete with chucks. My blouse was like a school uniform and it was untucked. I had like bracelets and sweat bands on my arms a small black side bag and a tie, which hung loose way below my second button.

"I must admit, I like this look," I said winking at myself in the mirror.

"You're welcome Sharpay," Shella said.

"Oh, thank you!" I said, "Don't you girls have a date tonight or anything?"

"I'll be going out with Richard tonight, a bit later," Shella said.

"I'm going on a double date with Sheng and Richard and Gerald," Jaquelyn said.

"I'm staying with Ryan tonight, here to watch some movies and yeah ..." Gabriella said.

"I'm not sure if Chad's got anything planned tonight!" Taylor exclaimed.

The doorbell rang and that meant that Troy was here. Jaquelyn quickly dubbed on some liquid from a bottle labeled, Baby Bench and chucked it in my bag. I walked downstairs with the girls and opened the door. Troy was there dressed in a similar style to me, but he was wearing grey pants, white shirt, a tie (just like me) and a little black side bag as well.

"You're so cute!" Troy greeted me.

I smiled and walked out with Troy, while the girls waved. We got to an Italian restaurant. When I stepped inside I nearly bursted out with laughter! Everyone was dressed formally but us. The waiter looked at us funny but managed to smile to be polite. We walked to our table.

"They look so funny compared to us!" I exclaimed quietly, trying to suppress my laughter.

"I know!"

We started to snicker. We looked at the menu board and a waiter came up to us. I didn't really feel like eating so I ordered Spaghetti and coke. They didn't really serve coke, but I demanded coke, so they had to give me some. Troy had the same. We were killing others' moment as we started taking pictures and joking around and laughing.

"At this rate we're gonna run out of time," Troy said after a joke I cracked.

"Do you have more things planned?" I asked out of surprise.

"Yeah!"

Troy paid the bill and we went outside. It was pretty hot for a February, we got in a taxi that was waiting for us and we went to the nearby park which I did pass a couple of times when I went out shopping with the girls or my mom. Usually by this late the ice-cream cart would have been closed, but it was open today. I stared, not noticing that we had come to a stop.

"Aren't you gonna come out?" Troy asked, delivering me out of my trance.

"Oh, yeah!" I exclaimed and took Troy's offered hand.

We walked into the park and sat down next to the cart on the bench. The ice-cream man, Mr. Polly offered us ice-cream which we took. We did what we usually did, talk, take photos and laugh. I was having a great time when I bit into something hard inside my ice cream. I frowned and spat it back out onto my hand to find that it was a beautiful gold signet ring. I smiled, so this was Troy's second part of the night!

"Aww, Troy! I don't know what to say ..." I trailed off.

"Remember what I said? I would get you a new ring. And this too," Troy said taking something out from his pocket, "it's a locket with one of our bestest picture taken from that photo booth place."

He put the necklace on me and slipped the ring into my left middle finger. I smiled and we kissed with tender passion. After a while we broke apart and intertwined our fingers.

"It's getting late, I should get you home!" Troy exclaimed, "And chilly."

"Troy," I said nudging him.

"Yeah?" He asked nudging me back.

"Did you know that I love you?"

"I love you too."

With that we hugged, kissed and went home. That had to be the most exciting Valentines I had! I smiled at the memory as I sat down in front of my desk trying to get Cookie to sit.

Author's Note: I just had to put the conversation of 'Shella' and 'Richard'. Kiligs! So what did you think about it? xP R&R. Mahal kita everyone! LOLers.
