------------------------------------

"BOLTEN!"

Troy could tell whose voice it was, and reluctantly stopped talking with Chad.

"What do you want, Sharpay?" he asked the blond next to him in an irritated tone. After the Twinkle Town musicale Troy had become friends with Ryan and Gabriella was friends with both of the Evans. She insisted that Sharpay was not as mean as everyone thought. That just made Troy laugh.

"Here," she said, "Don't let anyone else see it," she added in a whisper. He stuck it in his jeans pocket to read when he wasn't surrounded by half of the basketball team; not to mention, Darbus.

Homeroom seemed to drag slower than usual, but it was probably because of the note that felt as if it was burning in my pocket. What did Sharpay want? He thought. Troy could not imagine what East High's 'Ice Princess' was up to, but he was keen to find out.

While Troy was wondering what the note held; Sharpay across the room thinking along the same lines. Am I doing the right thing by telling him? She thought. Well it was too late now, he already had the note.

Finally, after what felt like forever and a day, to Troy, the bell rang. Troy quickly excused himself from Chad, and ran to the bathroom to read the note in privacy.

THE NOTE:

Dear Troy,

I know that me giving you this note may feel totally random to you, but I've been thinking it over for a while. About if I should ask for your help. Would you meet me in C hall after school? I'm pretty sure that Zeke said you didn't have practice this afternoon. If it's a 'yes' than nod to me next hour, if it's a 'no' shake you're head.

Toddles,

Sharpay

END NOTE

A million questions flooded into his head at once. Why did Sharpay need his help? Why did she want to meet him after school? Was she and Zeke going out?

That last question threw him off; why did he even think of that one? He shook off all of his questions and checked his watch; he had one minute to get to class!

Troy quickly ran down two halls and made it to Mr. Balls' room just in time. He saw Sharpay sitting three chairs away; watching him. He subtly nodded 'yes' and she nodded back indicating that she understood.

This afternoon was going to be very interesting.

Later that afternoon

Troy walked through the hall after school looking for Sharpay, but she was no where to be seen.

"She probably just had to be fashionably late," he muttered under his breath.

"I heard that," he turned around to see Sharpay giving him her 'Ice Queen' look.

"Sorry," he murmured, although he wasn't. She seemed to tell he didn't mean it, but just rolled her eyes.

"Let's go," she said.

"Wait, go where?"

"To my car, we can't talk here," she looked around as if she was afraid that someone was listening in on their conversation. Now it was Troy's turn to roll his eyes. Sharpay grabbed his hand and dragged him to the parking lot.

Chad came out from a nearby classroom and muttered, "What are they up to?"

-------------------

Troy's PoV

Sharpay lead me by the hand through the corridor, and out to the parking lot. She brought me to her silver convertible.

We got in and drove to the South. She was speeding, but I didn't mind. I always went past the speed limit when I was on the road, too. Unless someone ewas with me.

"You've seen the why Ryan and Gabby look at each other, right?" Sharpay asked me. I thought back to lunch.

FLASHBACK

I was sitting with some of the basketball team plus Ryan. We managed to keep him from wearing any of those girly hats and less pastels. He still wore nice button down shirts, but not tucked in and with jeans.

"Hey Ryan, when are the musicale auditions again?" I asked. Ryan kept looking across the room. Her was ignoring me, or didn't hear me. I put my head beside his and looked in the same direction. I don't understand what he could be looking at. The only table there was where Taylor, Gabriella, Kelsi, and Sharpay were sitting at.

I started eliminating people who it couldn't be. Not Sharpay, for obvious reasons, not Taylor she was going out with Chad, not Kelsi, because Ryan had already told me his feelings didn't go beyond friendship for her. Gabby? It couldn't be, could it?

I looked over at Gabriella again. She was looking at our table, too. Do Gabby and Ryan like each other?

END FLASHBACK

I nodded.

"It's our job to get them together," she added.

"Why is it our job?" I asked.

"Because a) they're our friends and my brother and 2) because they're both either too afraid to make the first movie or too oblivious," she replied.

"Okay, what's the plan, boss lady?" I asked, partly joking. She smiled at me, and it wasn't her 'Ice Princess' smile either. It was a genuine Sharpay smile. It was beautiful. What did I just say Sharpay was beautiful? Well she is pretty, but I've never thought of her like that…

"Troy!"

"Wha- what did you say?"

"I said 'Do you have any ideas?'" she repeated, as if annoyed.

"Oh, uh, no, I think I'll have to sleep on it."

She nodded. One of my favourite songs was playing on the radio. I turned it up, and started to sing along. Sharpay looked at me as if I was crazy, then just shrugged and joined in.

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
x3

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along

Just as the song ended Sharpay drove up to my house.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow," I said wanting not to leave.

"Yeah, do you want my cell number in case you come up with any ideas?" Sharpay asked. I nodded and we exchanged numbers.

"Bye Troy," she said as I walked out of the car.

"Bye," I replied and watched as she backed out of the drive way.

I couldn't help thinking as I walked into the house: What am I getting myself into?

A/n: So what do you guys think? I love feedback so please review!
