Thanks a lot!! You're awesome!!

A/N: I owe you a long chapter now since I was gone for such a long time!!

All weekend long Sharpay ignored Troy's phone calls and Im's. She wasn't in the mood to talk to him at all. She was so confused. She liked him a lot but he had a girlfriend which complicated everything. She wanted to be with him so badly and he wanted to be with her which killed her. Her feelings were messed up and she needed to fix them. She knew what she had to do.

It was Monday which meant school again. Sharpay didn't know if she would go through with her plan. Once she walked into the school and saw Troy she lost every hope in doing it. He glanced at her but she turned her head and kept on walking towards her locker.

"Shar please tell me what happened?" Ryan begged her as she opened her locker up. She turned around and glared at him.

"I don't want to even think about it. It was too crazy. Troy's a loser that's all you need to know." she slammed her locker shut and walked to the auditorium

"Well if I can't get anything out of her I'll go to Troy." Ryan said to himself and walked over to the jock group. Everyone looked at him with confusion. "Mind if I talk to you for a sec?" he asked while looking at Troy. Everyone turned their heads toward Troy now.

"What about?" Chad asked which earned him a smack on the head from Taylor. "Ouch!"

"It's none of your business Chad." she hissed and he rolled his eyes

"Excuse Chad he's a loser. Let's go this way." Troy said and pointed down the hall. "I'll catch you guys later." he walked away without giving Gabriella a kiss. She looked disappointed but shrugged it off and talked to everyone else.

"What's up?" Troy asked once they were far away from the group

"What happened with you and Shar?" Ryan asked and waited for a reply. Troy stood there not knowing what to say. "Well?" he asked impatiently

"Well...uh...you see...we were watching a movie and uh...we sort of maybe kissed." he said nervously. Ryan stood there for a minute taking in everything that was said.

"Did you just say you kissed?" Ryan asked and he watched as Troy slowly nodded his head.

"Wow that's why she's been acting weird." he said to himself. "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. Forget about it?" Troy suggested

"You think you can kiss my sister and then forget about it? Do you know how much she likes you? She was so excited to go out with you and now you're just going to ditch her? You really are a cruel, insensitive, egotistical jerk." Ryan yelled getting looks from everyone. He didn't care at all. He couldn't believe Troy out of all people would hurt her like this. "I didn't think you were that horrible." he said and walked away leaving Troy standing there with angry friends looking his walking towards him. Luckily his friends only heard the last part and not about the kiss.

"Why did he just call you a jerk?" Chad asked and Troy thought of an excuse.

"Because he didn't like the whole 'going on a date thing' with Sharpay-which you guys dared me to do." he stated and his friends looked relieved

"Well hope you didn't do anything you'll regret." Gabriella said and kissed him before she walked off with the girls.

"So what really happened?" Chad asked as they walked to home room.

"Nothing. Why don't you believe me?" Troy asked as they turned the corner.

"Because I've known you since you were little not tell me." Chad ordered.

"Dude just drop it."

"You're my best bud right?" Troy nodded "Well then you can trust me."

"Well if you were my best bud you would believe me when I say NOTHING HAPPENED!" Troy screamed as they walked into home room. He received weird stares from people. He walked to his seat and sat down. He looked around the room and noticed that Sharpay was there already. She turned to him and gave him a quick smile before turning around again. He smiled back and put his head on his desk. He kept his head down as Mrs. Darbus ranted on about some old actor guy. He lifted his head up when he felt a note hit his desk. He opened it up and read what it said.

Troy,

Meet me in the auditorium after school. We need to talk.

Sharpay

He looked up at her and nodded his head. She smiled and looked back towards the board. Suddenly Troy couldn't stop smiling. Why am I so happy about meeting her? I don't love her do I? No it's not possible...is it? The bell interrupted his thoughts. He had a free period now so he decided to go to the gym and throw free throws. He changed into his gym clothes and walked out to the court.

He had been practicing for about half the class when someone walked into the gym. He heard their heels clicking on the ground and he assumed in was Sharpay.

"Hey Shar!" he said not turning around.

"Shar?" the voice asked. He turned around and saw Gabriella there with her jaw dropped. He quickly thought up a lie. "Joke Gabs." he said and she smiled

"That wasn't a funny one though. So what are you doing after school today?" she asked and took the basketball from him.

"I'm going to...uh...stay after with my dad. Working on some plays." he lied.

"Oh so we can't hang out today?" she asked with a pout

"Sorry." he said and pulled her into a hug. He wished he was hugging Sharpay right now. He pulled away as the bell rang. "I gotta get to class." he said and ran into the locker room to change. Gabriella stood there wondering what was going on. She was afraid Troy might be up to something. Again she shook it off and went to her next class.

After school

Troy waited for Sharpay at her locker.

"God Troy could you make it anymore obvious?" Sharpay asked from behind him. He jumped and turned to face her. She giggled.

"You scared the hell out of me." he said and held his hand on his chest. "My heart is beating like crazy." he stated

"A little jumpy are we?" she joked as she opened her locker

"Ha ha ha very funny." he said in a monotone voice.

"Well I thought it was funny." she slammed her locker shut and smiled at him

"So what did you want to talk about?" he asked. Her smile slowly faded away. He noticed this and tilted his head in confusion

"Let's go somewhere's a little more private." she said and grabbed his hand. She took him to her car.

"Shar where are we going?" he asked as he jumped into the passenger's side

"You'll see." she smirked and drove away from the school. The car ride was pretty silent. It was about a 5 minute ride. She parked her car and got out. Troy got out as well and followed her into a secluded park. No one was there- which to Troy was pretty depressing.

"Shar this place is scary!" he said and she rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand.

"Better?" she asked and he nodded. She kept walking until they made it to an old garden. Some of the flowers were beautiful and not dead. They kept walking and Troy kept looking around.

"How'd you find this place?" he asked. She lead him to a bench and they sat down.

"I found it when I ran away from home before." he looked at her with a shocked expression. "It was when my parents were getting divorced when I was 10. They kept arguing and yelling. I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to go somewhere. I found this place and I've been coming here every since." she said and he looked around.

"Have you kept these flowers alive?" he asked

She nodded her head. "Yup. I love them."

"They're beautiful." he said and smiled

"Thanks."

"So now do you think you can tell me what you wanted to tell me?" he asked and she took a deep breath

"I really like you Troy." she said quickly and turned away to hide the embarrassment. "But I know you wouldn't like me so it doesn't matter."

He put his finger under her chin and lifted it up. "If I didn't like you then why did I kiss you at my house?" he asked with a smile. She jerked her head away

"Because you're a jerk." she answered quietly

"Sharpay I would never mess with your feelings like that." she looked up at him and smiled

"You really mean that?" she asked

He nodded his head. "Of course I do." he leaned down and kissed her. She kissed back and put her arms around his neck. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she couldn't get away from his lips. She loved the feeling of them on hers. He broke apart after a minute or two smiling. She looked down.

"What now Troy? You have a girlfriend." she said and looked back up at him

"I don't know."

"The only way we can do this is if we keep it a secret." she said and he smiled "Troy we can't do that. If East High found out they would go crazy." she said

"And if I broke up with Gabs she'd be crushed. Love is complicated." he sighed

"If the only way we can be together is to do it secretly then I guess I'll do it." Sharpay said and Troy turned towards her.

"You serious?" he asked and she giggled

"Troy I really, really like you. I'm willing to do it."

"Well I don't know about you but I love you." he said and she smiled

"I love you too."
