Recap:
"Crap" Sharpay said "Why do I always let him talk?" she asked herself as Chad was passing by "Why is the beautiful queen talking to herself?" he asked her "Evaporate!!!!!" she yelled "Ahem" someone behind Chad exclaimed "Hi Taylor" Chad said sweetly "You're so immature" Taylor said "But that's why the ladies love me" he said to no one.
Lunch
"Hey so what happened yesterday to you?, I wanted to call you 'cause we all went out for pizza, but you never answered?" Gabriella asked Ryan "Well we had dinner with our new neighbors" Ryan responded "Cool, do we know them?" Gabriella asked sitting down next to Troy which seem to look weird at Ryan.
"Know who Gabi?" Troy asked "Oh, Ryan's new neighbors" Gabriella said noticing Troy's look "Who are they?" Troy asked "Well the Lyons" Ryan said in a very calm and relax tone "The what?!!!" Troy and Gabriella asked in shocked tones.
"Dude you were at Sharpay's house?" Troy asked him as they made their way to science "Yeah, so?" Ryan responded "You do realize that you're the first person to make it in and out of that house without leaving town right?" Troy said trying to make Ryan reaction "Well our parents are good friends" Ryan responded "What?!!" Troy asked "Yeah and I will really appreciate if you'd stop doing that" Ryan said walking to the other side of the classroom "Note to self never go to the land of ice, it's contagious" Troy said watching Ryan.
After class ended Ryan and Sharpay each had something on their minds, Ryan knew that he was going to do it but Sharpay was wondering a little.
"Ms. Darbus?" Ryan asked "Yes I'm in here" Ms. Darbus said "I know that auditions were already a week ago, but I wasn't here so I thought maybe I could audition" Ryan said "Well I usually don't give second chances but since I still need one, well acutally two particular roles, I'll give you a shot" Ms. Darbus said "I just hope that you know the song" she added pressing play on the stereo.
Ryan's face lit up when the Melody started playing, since he knew this song by heart, he started to sing:
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Ryan finished singing the chorus "Thanks for the opportunity Ms. Darbus, and sorry to keep you in school" he said before leaving "That was interesting" Ms. Darbus said. She was about to leave when Sharpay came bursting through the door "Sharpay!!! What brings you here?" Ms. Darbus said "Oh wait let me guess you want to audition for our spring musicale?" Ms. Darbus said "How the heck did she know that?" Sharpay thought "Yeah" she said.
"Ok well, I know you know the song, after all you chose it" Ms. Darbus said, Sharpay just nodded and took a deep breath as the music started playing this was it:
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Sharpay finished singing and was shocked at herself "Well…umm… I want nothing big if I get a part, bye" with those words she ran out of the office "That's 2 in one afternoon" Ms. Darbus said shaking her head.
When Ryan got home he noticed that it didn't smell like food "Mom, did you forget that I come from school at 3 and that I'm always hungry?" Ryan asked "Go change Ry, we're going bowling with the Lyons" Mr. Stevens said to Ryan as he only groaned.
Bowling
"Mom did we have to go bowling, it's a school night" Sharpay whined getting out of the car "C'mon, it's going to be fun, besides that guy Ryan is not bad" Mr. Lyon said "Dad!!! I'm dating Mark, oh no, I forgot to cancel our date to go bowling with a bunch of weirdoes" Sharpay said walking and looking for her cell phone at the same time.
She was not looking were she was going so she bumped into someone "Crap!! I ran out of battery" (bump) "Hey watch were you're going!!!" she shouted "Sorry" the person who she bumped into responded "Ryan?" Sharpay asked "Great so you do know my name" he said sarcastically.
"What are you doing?" Ryan asked seeing that Sharpay was hitting her cell "What does it look like I'm doing, I'm trying to call my boyfriend, I forgot to tell him I couldn't go to the party cause I had to go bowling with a bunch of weirdoes, oops sorry make that one super weirdo that likes hats" she said grabbing Ryan's hat "And you seem to like to take them from me" he said trying to get his hat back.
"God!!! What am I going to do" Sharpay said opening the door to the bowling area "Brr, it's freezing in here" she cried "Maybe if you had wore long pants you wouldn't fell as much cold, here and here" Ryan said handing her his jacket and his cell phone "What are these for?" she asked "Ok dumb blond, this is for your case of coldness and this is for calling your dear boyfriend" Ryan said.
Sharpay just made an 'oh' with her mouth "Thanks I guess" she said not showing any emotions, well at least trying to not show any emotions.
Sharpay got away from her parents and Ryan she opened Ryan's phone and saw a picture of a hat, it said 'Favorite', she opened the bag where she had Ryan's hat and saw that it was the same one, Sharpay felt guilty, but tried to not think of it, she dialed Mark's number and waited for him to answer, to her luck it went to voice-mail.
"Hello, you have reached the hottie of the past week, I'm probably in the middle of a photo shoot so I can't answer, leave your message after the sexy beep" at first Sharpay used to laugh at his message, but now she found it irritating "Hi, Mark, I just called to let you know that my parents wanted to spend some quality time together so I can't go to your house, hope you get this message, toodles, love ya, Sharpie".
Sharpay finished her message and sighed, she was good at acting when she was in school, she was good at lying in that category, but she hated to lie about what she was doing at home or with friends, you could say that she had gotten used to it, but no, she hadn't.
"Are you done?" came Ryan's voice from behind her "Ryan!!!, you almost gave me a heart attack, don't do that ever again!!!!, and yes thanks" she said handing him his cell phone "Oh and I almost forgot here" Sharpay said throwing him his hat "Nice choice as your favorite" she said before walking away.
Ryan was shocked, the ice queen had just thanked him and smiled, Ryan looked at his hat "Excuse me, but do you have a mirror?" he asked the person that was selling drinks "No" she answered and walked away "Now that is icy" Ryan thought "Ryan!!!!! C'mon we're going to start!!!" his mother called him.
At Mark's house
"Hope you get this message, toodles, love ya, Sharpie". "Quality time together, yeah right" Mark said closing his phone "I'm going to find where you are" Mark finished
Back with the bowling buddies
"Gosh that was actually fun" Sharpay admitted "Yeah" Ryan said "Well we're glad you enjoyed it" Mrs. Lyon said to both of them. "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?" Ryan asked, this time Sharpay only half smiled "I knew there was a soft side of you" Ryan thought and smiled back.
"Ryan Stevens?" Mark asked himself hiding behind a car "You are going out with Ryan Stevens and his family?" Mark asked again to himself, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
