Forbidden Beauty
Chapter 13.
Troy watched as the other pairs represented their history project. It was all boring, but he hadn't suspected differently, so that was okay. Ryan and Gabriella's project was awesome. Of course. They had made a model and everything, earning themselves a good grade.
Troy wasn't really in the mood to speak in front of the whole class, but he suspected that maybe he didn't have to. Sharpay had something up her sleeve, but he wasn't sure that it was a good thing.
Finally, Mr. Spencer told them that it was their turn, and Sharpay stood up, to go up front. She didn't bring anything, and Troy was fearing the worst. She smiled to the class, and he just stood there next to her, trying not to look too nervous.
"Okay, ms. Evans and Mr. Bolton, please do start?"
Sharpay clapped her hands together, and looked expectantly at Troy, "Okay then." She said, "Troy and I have worked with the relationship between men and woman through up time. We've read a lot of books and taken some notes, but then it occurred to us, not so long ago, that the answer had been in front of us all along."
Mr. Spencer got a confused look on his face, and urged her to continue.
"The relationship between men and woman can be described in a few words, and with a few actions." Sharpay continued, "Love, is the first and most obvious word. It's really how all people feel about each other. Then there's physical attraction…"
Troy flinched, hoping she wasn't going with this, like he thought she was.
"...and of course there's a few times when that can't be used, as in father/daughter relationships, except if we're talking about incest, but we're not. So that is really one of the words too." Sharpay took a breather and looked at Troy, she pulled him to her by the hand, so he was standing right by her side, "And then, there's the only action, that we could actually think of…"
She took a deep breath and turned to Troy. Then she grabbed him by the neck, and attacked his lips with hers. A loud gasp was heard from the class, but Sharpay didn't pull away, she continued to kiss him. Then when she was out of breath, she pulled away, and turned to Mr. Spencer;
"There!" she said, "That's our presentation!"
Mr. Spencer looked a little surprised, but slowly he started clapping, and the classroom soon followed.
"Great work, you guys!" he said, "I didn't know what I had expected, but definitely not that! You managed to get it right on, because that is the truth! It is the relationship between men and woman. Great job. You guys get an A."
Troy got a huge smile on his face, while Sharpay leaned into him and whispered, "I told you we'd get an A, didn't I?"
He just smiled and pulled her in for a hug.
She really was unbelievable sometimes.

The next day, Troy found himself on her bed, waiting for her to finish her shower. She hadn't invited him to join her, which had disappointed him, but he didn't want to say anything. Their classes were over, so he couldn't actually tell her that it was good to have some experience or something like that.
It really bummed him out.
The thing they were gonna do today, was plan his date with Gabriella, and then go out to celebrate their wonderful presentation yesterday. Sharpay was just dolling herself up, because she said that she couldn't hit the mall without looking good. She could risk to run into some cute guys.
She stepped out of the bathroom, dressed in a pink, flowered knee long skirt, and a regular tight black top. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, and she had a light layer of makeup on. She looked beautiful, but that didn't surprise Troy. He had come to think that, more often than once in the past few months.
"Okay then," she smiled, "So I'm thinking; we go to ´Little Ms. Mommy's´ for milkshakes and bring a notepad to plan your date. I could really use some chocolate right now!"
"Okay then," Troy smiled, "My car or your car?"
"Your car, you can just drop me off after, then." Sharpay decided, skipping out of her room.
They went downstairs and Sharpay got everything she needed. They went outside and into Troy's car, and drove the little time to ´Little Ms. Mommy's´. They all loved that place. Sharpay had taken them all there after the Winter Musical, when they started to form their weird friendship. She'd paid for all of them, and they'd changed their minds a little about her.
They found a booth by the window and Sharpay took out her pink, furry notebook to write their plans. They didn't want to begin until they had ordered and their milkshakes had gotten there, because they didn't want to be disturbed.
"Hi Sharpay," a happy brunette waitress smiled, "And Sharpay's friend. What can I do for you?"
"Hi Kate," Sharpay smiled, "And that's Troy. I'd like a chocolate milkshake."
"And I'd like a strawberry/vanilla." Troy smiled.
"Great then," Kate smiled, "I'll be back soon." She left and Troy turned to Sharpay.
"Have you been here so many times, that you know the people working here?" he questioned.
"Yes," Sharpay said, "But that's not how I know Kate. She's my cousin."
"Oh." Troy said, "You guys don't look like each other at all."
"No," Sharpay shook her head, "It's weird. Ryan and I are the only blonde ´kids´ in the family. The rest of them are brunettes. At one point we were wondering if we were adopted, but then we saw a video of my mom giving birth, and we sorta knew we weren't."
Troy laughed, "That couldn't have been pretty."
"It really wasn't." Sharpay mumbled.
Just then Kate placed a milkshake in front of them both, and Sharpay handed her the money. Troy tried to object, but she told him it was on her, no discussion. Then Kate shot them a smile and left.
"There's nothing better than milkshakes." Sharpay commented, taking a long sip of her own.
"Yeah, I love them too." Troy smiled. He looked at her and paused, "Sharpay? Can I ask you something?"
Sharpay looked confused, he had suddenly gotten serious. She placed her milkshake on the table and looked at him, "Sure Troy, what's up?"
"Uhm, y'know… the other day, when we almost… y'know…" he trailed off, not knowing how to put it, "Why did we almost do that?"
"Well…" Sharpay begun, "First of all, just say the word Troy: Sex. I've taught you to say that, right? And second of all, I guess I just wanted to sleep with you… I felt something right there, and I was living the moment. But now the moment is over, so we don't speak of it again."
"Okay…" Troy sighed, "That was just what I wanted to know."
"Great then!" Sharpay smiled, "Now, let's plan your date with Gabby. Have you asked her, or are you gonna surprise her?"
"I asked her today at school," Troy said, "She said yes, and looked sorta confused, but she did say yes! And then I told her I'd pick her up around 6., this Saturday."
"That sounds great," Sharpay smiled, "Now, I think you should…"

They went to the cinema in the mall, and watched one of the old re-runs of ´13 Going on 30´, and came to the fact, that they'd much rather had spend their evening in the arcade, because Sharpay knew that movie back and forth. She actually said the lines, as they did on screen, and the old lady behind them had to schuss her.
Then they tried their best to keep their laughter to themselves, but that didn't go well. They ended on the floor, laughing like mad into their hands. When they had finally calmed down enough to act normal, they sat back up, and realized they'd just missed 20 minutes of the movie.
Then they left before the movie was totally over. Sharpay had to drag Troy out of there, because he wanted to watch it, they'd paid of it after all. But Sharpay was stubborn. She said she's lose her mind if she had to sit there a look at Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo for one more second.
Then they did go to the arcade. They danced a little, and had a race with one of the car-games. Troy was kinda shocked that Sharpay was that good at it (she actually won), but she brushed it off with:
"There's a lot you don't know about me, Bolton!"
And he could tell that she was returning to normal, though they still had a weird friendship going on. She wasn't as mean as she was in the beginning. She had gotten nicer and nicer for everyday they spend together, and Troy couldn't believe that he'd actually melted her.
He dropped her off at her house around 9 o'clock, and she said goodbye to him, with a friendly kiss on the cheek. She said she'd had a really lovely afternoon and evening, and that maybe they could start to hang out more now.
As friends.
He nodded and watched her walk into her house and close the door. Then he drove home and went to bed immediately. He was so tired. Every time he'd spend time with Sharpay, he was ready to fall on his back, dead. She wore it all out of him, and he didn't know why.
There just wasn't a doll moment with her. She always had something crazy to do, so you didn't get bored. That was one of the reasons that made her such a wonderful person. You didn't get tired of spending time with her. Well, you did, of course, if you didn't like her weird, outgoing, I-say-and-do-what-I-want personality.
But he did.
And that was good.
