The thought of Troy just wondering what happened to their relationship, starlted Sharpay. She sat on the bench sipping her diet coke watching all the people pass by. Troy was making small talk with Gabby. Luke was in his own little world, eating his pretzel. Sharpay smiled at a little girl who was staring her down. The little girl must have been star struck. Sharpay wasn't that big yet, but she still had little fans in town that knew who she was. Her music would play on the local radio stations every now and then.
Sharpay took a careful look at the girl. Her eyes were blue and she had brunette straight hair. She her little cheeks were red and her lips were pursed up. She was adorable, just the child Sharpay always dreamt about. The little girl looked like she was just about to burst. Sharpay giggled to herself and got up. She started to walk towards the little girl, which caused Luke and the other two to stare at her with curious eyes. The little girl was sitting on a park bench. Her eyes were getting wide, from just seeing Sharpay walk towards her. Her lips formed a big smile when Sharpay finally reached her.
Sharpay smiled back and couldn't help but giggle a bit. "Hi, I was just sitting over there and saw other kids playing one of those interesting games over there..." she pointed at some random carnival game. "I was just uh, wondering if you would play with me. I really don't want to play alone and my friends over there are just sore losers and don't want to play with me." Of course she was lying, she really wasn't interested in the carnival game, but the little girl was so cute, Sharpay just had to do something to make the little girl's day 10 times better. She then noticed that her parents were looking at her, she completely forgot their permission to have the little girl come. "That is if your parents will let you." She quickly added.
Her parents seemed to be nice, they both had smiles on their faces. They were glad Sharpay took time to at least admire their child and not just blow her off like other stars sometimes do. The little girl seemed to have been begging her parents to let her go. Which their parents didn't put up a fight, they instantly agreed that she could go. Sharpay took the little girls hand and helped her off the bench.
"Thank you! I'll be sure to have her back in a few minutes or so. We shouldn't be long." She didn't want to have the girl gone for so long that her parents would worry.
They didn't seem to though. "Oh don't worry about it, have her as long as you like. We'll be sitting here for a while. Old Bob here, is all wore out." the young woman said as she pointed to Bob, which Sharpay assumed was the lady's husband.
"In that case, you wouldn't mind giving me your cell phone number. That way I can reach you incase your not here when we come back." Sharpay asked poiltely. She wasn't planning on dragging the girl around with her every where, but when she started to think about it. The girl could really get her mind off of Troy.
The girl's parents nodded and handed Sharpay their number. Sharpay stuff the piece of paper into her pocket and walked back to the park bench. The rest of the gang seemed to have came back from the roller coaster and was giving her odd looks. Sharpay thought it must have been cause of the child. She just shook her head and smiled.
"Guys this is...uh, I'm sorry I forgot to ask for your name." Sharpay said as she gave the girl a sympathic look.
"I'm Lauren." The girl replied.
Sharpay smiled "Well thats a pretty name Lauren. This is Chad and his wife Taylor, thats Ryan, my brother..along with his wife Kelsi, and thats Troy with his wife...gabby. Oh and this is Luke, my.." She almost said Producer, but she stopped herself when she remembered that he was suppose to be her boyfriend. "He's my boyfriend." She quickly corrected herself.
Lauren smiled "Hi" she said shyly.
"Guys, Lauren's going to spend the day with us, since her Dad isn't really up to walking anymore. Her parents agreed to let her tag along with us." She said.
Gabby smiled at the little girl. "Their just going to trust you with their child."
Sharpay shrugged her shoulders. "I guess, I mean they know I wouldn't do anything to her. I'm pretty well known for a nice girl around town."
Everyone nodded. Sharpay had been in the town's newspaper, for a while now. She was always known for her first album coming out. She was considered the sweet blonde, mainly cause when people saw her, she always made a point to come up and greet them.
Luke took Sharpay's hand "Well were are we off to now?"
"Well Lauren was going to play one of those carnival games with me, right?" She asked.
Lauren nodded and smiled "Yup!"
Sharpay took a quick look at her, she looked to be around 10 or 11 years old. She was pretty mature for her age, which surprised Sharpay. Usually girls like her, would be so hyper and obnoxious.
Sharpay smiled "Okay games it is. Does anyone else want to come?"
Luke frowned "Well I sort of wanted to ride a roller coaster, but I'll come."
"No, go a head, I'm sure the next ride that their going to ride is going to be one thriller. Go with them." she insisted.
Luke thought about it till Sharpay gave him a look of 'just go.' Which he finally nodded and followed the rest of the gang.
"I'll stay behind guys." Troy said. "I'm sort of in the mood for games too." He really wasn't in the mood for games, but that weird feeling kept striking him. He felt like he needed to be near Sharpay in order to figure things out.
Gabby just shook her head as she followed Taylor. Which Cause Sharpay to just roll her eyes. She really didn't want Troy along. She took the little girl's hand and started to go to one of the game stands. She found one that had something to do with popping a balloon with a dart.
"Do you want to do this one?" She asked Lauren.
Lauren seemed to scan it over and nodded. Sharpay paid for both Lauren and her. She turned around and saw Troy behind her, giving the game a look over. She shook her head as she handed Lauren her darts. "Be careful okay, I don't want you to get hurt." Lauren nodded as she took the darts. Troy soon came beside them with darts of his own.
"Hey, lets see who can pop the most balloons." He said.
Sharpay thought it was a stupid idea, but Lauren seemed to like it. So she agreed to do it. When they started to throw their darts, Sharpay could tell that Lauren wasn't doing so well. She turned to see Troy making some, but yet missing some too. She looked at the balloons and concentrated at one then threw her dart. It popped the balloon, which caused Lauren to jump up and down. She turned around to see what was wrong with her, but she seemed to notice that Lauren was cheering her one. She smiled as she used the same strategy like last time. It seemed to be working cause before she knew it, she won.
Troy crossed his arms. "It was just luck." He stated.
Sharpay grinned "Keep telling yourself that Bolton."
She turned to look at the prizes and saw stuffed animals. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Lauren eyeing a teddy that had a pink little bow tied around its neck. She smiled as she quickly pointed to the bear. She pointed at the bear and the prize giver ( A/N:I don't know what their called lol) gave her the bear. She tapped Lauren on the shoulder, which caused her to turn around and face Sharpay. She saw the bear in Sharpay's hands which made her face drop a little. Sharpay just giggled as she took Lauren's hands and placed the bear them. It took Lauren a while to figure out what she was doing, but when she finally realized it, she quickly smiled and hugged Sharpay.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She cried.
Sharpay just smiled and hugged her back. "No problem." She felt something nudge her, as she turned around she saw Troy smiling all goofy.
"That was really nice." He said.
She just rolled her eyes and grinned "Yeah well, I'm a softy when it comes to kids."
Troy nodded "Thats what makes you so great." He whispered.
Sharpay didn't really hear him "What?" She asked.
Troy quickly responded "Nothing."
Sharpay eyed in him and just nodded "Whatever...just wait till next game Bolton. I'm going to kick your butt just as hard." She grinned.
Troy just shook his head "Keep telling yourself that Evans!" he smirked.
Sharpay smiled and took Lauren's handing. She started to walk to another game.
"Well this isn't as bad as I imagined it to be." She thought.
A/N: I'm sooo sorry I haven't been updating for a while. Dance practice has just been getting in the way, but anyways thanks for all the reviews! I know this chapter was sort of boring, but I needed something for Troy and Sharpay to spend time together. Their starting to get along...not that much, but just a tad bit!
