Chapter 7

Next day...

It was Friday.

Troy was hanging out with his basketball buddies when they heard a loud shriek. "EVAPORATE!!" Everyone quickly moved out the way. Troy saw Sharpay stomp through the crowd with a very angry look on her face. Sharpay walked right up to the jocks. She pushed Chad out the way, sending him flying into a locker.

"Hey, man! What the f-," he started.

Sharpay shot him a death glare. "Shut up, Chad!" Then she looked at Troy. "Why in the hell did you kiss me yesterday?!" she yelled. Everyone around them gasped except for Ryan.

"What?" Troy asked, confused by her outburst.

Sharpay scowled. "You heard me! Look, my lips are not baseballs! You don't just hit them and run!" she exclaimed.

Troy smiled when he caught on. "Oh, so that's why you're mad?" he asked.

"Damn it, Troy! Just answer the question!" Sharpay yelled.

"To prove a point and it worked!" Troy said.

"Oh, and what point is that? That you're a lunk head, conceited, basketball jerk who thinks the world revolves around him?" Sharpay asked.

Troy smirked. "No. To prove that you liked me!" he said.

Chad's eyes widened. "Say what!" he exclaimed.

Sharpay glared at him. "Shut it, Chad! This has nothing to do with you!" she yelled.

Then she looked at Troy again. "And whatever! I didn't even kiss you back!" she yelled.

Troy nodded and said, "Sure. That's why I felt your tongue in my mouth!" Everyone around them was shocked. Even Ryan was shocked this time. Sharpay didn't tell all him that.

Sharpay was just about to attack Troy when she saw Gabriella. She just pushed Troy like she did Chad and stormed toward Gabriella. They followed her to make sure didn't do anything.

When Sharpay reached Gabby, she grabbed her arm and turned her around. "Listen here, Montez. I'm only gonna tell you this once. You better step away from any other guys that I like or I will kill you!" she said to her.

Gabriella was shocked and confused. "What are you talking about?" she asked.

Sharpay glared at her. "You know exactly what I'm talking about!" she exclaimed.

Gabriella thought for a moment. Then she asked, "Oh, you mean Troy?" Sharpay gave her a "duh" look. Gabriella shrugged. "Well, Sharpay, you can go to the dance with him," she said. Sharpay scoffed.

"Oh, please! I don't want your sloppy seconds. Just don't come near another guy I like or you won't live to tell about it. Now, move!" she said. Gabriella moved out the way. Sharpay stormed away. Troy was getting pissed off. He followed her.

Once he got close enough, he grabbed her arm and turned her around. "Look, Sharpay, I don't know what your problem is, but don't take your anger out on my friends!" he exclaimed.

"You know exactly what my problem is!" Sharpay yelled. Troy groaned in frustration.

"Okay, Sharpay. I'm sorry for kissing you and leaving, but you need to get real. Like you said to me, the world doesn't revolve around you! And like you haven't kissed a guy that liked you and ran. As far as I'm concerned, you should be thankful that any guy likes you! Maybe if you weren't such a bitch, you would have some real friends and a functional relationship! Now let me know if you had a problem with what I just said and I'll be sure to handle it. Oh, and stay away from my friends," he said.

Troy turned around and started walking back towards the others. Tears welled in Sharpay's eyes. She turned around and quickly walked away. Ryan followed her to the auditorium. Sharpay threw herself in chair and silently cried. Ryan wrapped her in a hug and let her cry on his shoulder. Ryan stroked her hair.

"Shh. It's gonna be alright. You're gonna be fine. Hush, now. It's okay," he whispered.

Sharpay calmed down. She sniffed and sat up. She looked at Ryan with red, puffy eyes. "Thanks, Ry. I needed that. I'm so glad you're my brother," she said.

Ryan blushed. "Oh, shucks," he said. Sharpay smiled. She wiped her eyes.

"I can't believe Troy said that," she said.

"Well, Shar, it was the truth," Ryan said.

Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but that doesn't mean I want to hear it," she said as she sat up.

Ryan bit his lip. "Actually, you needed to hear it," he said.

Sharpay looked at him. "Twin brother say what?" she asked.

Ryan put up his hands in defense. "Now, Shar, I'm not saying that I'm on his side. I'm just saying that it's about time someone told you what you're really like," he said.

"Well, I'd rather hear it from you than him…Am I really that bad?" she asked.

Ryan shook his head said, "Oh, noo! You're a wee bit worse."

Sharpay gasped and smiled. Then she stood up and held out her hand. "Let's go, Twinkle Toes," she said. Ryan smiled and took her hand. Together, they walked to class and Sharpay and Troy didn't have anymore problems. That day.
