CHAPTER 4
Brand New
Yesterday was that past, Tomorrow is the future, Today is a gift...that is why they call it the present. As soon as the dawn rises up, we call it a brand new day. Even the past always seems safer; we couldn't go back because… we know we had made it. So what can we do? Just live the gift that God gives, the brand new day. Don't have to think or worry about the future, just go for the quick fix and avoid future complications…
Sharpay Evans
Couldn't go back to the heaven
Troy Bolton & Sharpay Evans
East High, 08:41 am
"Hey"
She take a glance to see who it was, then gave the inside of the plain white locker her attention again.
"Hi" she said taking out her books
"That was quick. How did you do it?" he asked
"I used my magic" she said it as it was the most obvious thing in the world
Silence was covering the air between them, it was awkward but, both were enjoying each other's presence. It made them felt warm, comfortable, mellow, safe, and loved.
"You're still here… Why? Lost your crowd?" she asked mockingly
"No, even sometimes I wish I could" he said putting one of his hands on the walls beside her locker
"I could do that… But, I'm not allowed to" she said simply, closing her locker
"Why not?" he said leaning to the walls
"I'm here to help you find true love. Not the other…" she whispered the last sentence then walked away with her books
He watched the blonde walked away. He didn't know where she was going, but he didn't follow her. He knew how annoying it is having people following someone everywhere they went. It was happening to him. Everyone needed space, just because she was his fairy didn't make an exception that she couldn't feel that. She was at school; she couldn't be attached to just one person. And he was the most popular boy there, it would be weird, people would get suspicious with him hanging all over her. But somehow, he could take his eyes off her and people were watching.
She knew he was staring at her all the time. She had a bad vibe about it. She didn't want Troy to fall for her, so she had to finish her mission quick to avoid complications that she didn't want to have. But somehow, she liked the idea that Troy brought her to the school and got to feel what it was like to be a human. So, she did what humans did…
"Hey"
Making new friends…
"Are you new?" a beautiful brunette greeted her interrupting her from reading her schedule
"Yeah… How'd you know?" she said simply
"Well… you're not outside waiting for the oh-so-awesome Troy Bolton"
"Then it seems I have better things to do than priding the self-centered jock" she said with a warm smile
The brunette let out a small laugh
"Gabriella Montez" she stuck out her hand
Sharpay looked at the girl. She was really beautiful. She was wearing a white plain shirt with a baby blue shrug over it, a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers. She had second thoughts of taking her hands. She hadn't really thought about making friends. She didn't know if she should let anyone she was there. Because even she looked like one… She was not a human and she didn't know if she should be friends with human.
She took her hand and shook it
"Sharpay… Evans"
She was still going to try making one. There was no rule that bound her to make friends. She thought it was harmless… But she was wrong, it required lying, a lot of lying.
"Where are you from anyway?" she asked
Sharpay couldn't possibly say the place she really belonged. She could just say "I'm from the heaven". No, that wouldn't work. There's no other option.
"New York" she lied
She felt so horrible. It was her first sin. She knew it was wrong; she was no longer innocent anymore, she was no longer pure anymore. She hated how one harmless little lie could make her felt so awfully bad.
"Oh… that's great! Let me show you around the school, I want to know more about you" she offered
"Uh… maybe later… I should be going to homeroom" said Sharpay
She was not going to take that offer. She was not going to lie more.
"Well, I have homeroom too. We can walk together" said Gabriella
"Sure…"
The brunette girl linked arms with the blonde. Sharpay was stunned how a human could be so nice and friendly at the same time. She knew being friends with Gabriella wouldn't hurt, she was a kind person. They automatically bonded in their way to homeroom with small conversation they had.
"By the way…" she suddenly stopped walking
Sharpay blinked at her sudden action
"Troy Bolton is… not that bad" said Gabriella
Sharpay just could smile at her words. She knew that she was right. She knew that.
"Troy!"
A voice was heard in his ears. He knew whose voice it was. It belonged to the best friend of his. Chad Danforth; followed with the crowd behind him: cheerleaders, basketball team and a lot of other people he didn't even know.
"Hi Troy!" a blonde stroke his lower chin flashing him a flirtatious smile then walked away with the whole cheerleader team
"Man, Laura is so into you. When are you going to ask her out?" said the passionate baker in the basketball team
"I don't know… Not soon though" said Troy
"Well don't think about it too long. She just broke up with the football team's co captain. She's single, dude" said Chad punching his arm slightly
"She's a senior, guys… That needs more time" said Troy
He was being like that again. When he was around the crowd, he was becoming that jerk again. That player again. Actually he hated being the attention, he hated being a bragger, he hated being the self-centered person, and he hated playing with girls' hearts.
"So… where were you? I didn't see you out of the bus today. We're waiting for you out there" said Jason
"I decided to come a little earlier" he said simply
A blonde caught his piercing blue eyes. She was with a brunette he knew too well. The brunette was practically dragging her to class and she was just busy keeping her eyes on a piece of paper. Then the brunette stopped and spotted him, as well as the blonde as soon as she knew what the brunette was doing. The blonde's eyes and his met. The whole crowd around them seemed like stopped suddenly. They were caught in their perfect little. She couldn't help but thought how great he looked; and the weird thing is, she didn't notice it earlier, when it was sparse, why she had to thought about it when the crowd was everywhere surrounding them. While he just trying to capture the perfect picture of her without her perfect little wings, he didn't notice that earlier too. Why they must have a moment while everyone was watching? That was the question.
"SHARPAY!"
The blonde snapped out from her daze.
"Huh?"
"I called you like four times. You were staring at the 'self-centered jock'!" she said making air quotes
She bit her lower lip and glanced at the 'self-centered jock' again. He was still watching every move she did and she was not comfortable with that.
"Come on… You'll get to know the 'self-centered jock'" said Gabriella dragging her once again towards Troy and the crowd
"Hey Gabby" greeted Chad and a few basketball players
"Hey guys… This is Sharpay… Evans" said Gabriella introducing Sharpay to the crowd
Sharpay just shot an innocent smile to the crowd. Smile, it was the only thing she did when she didn't know what to do.
"I'm Chad"
"Jason
"Zeke"
And a few other basketball players introduced themselves to Sharpay while she gladly shook their hands. Sharpay never thought that people were that friendly. But they were actually not. They were not that friendly to new students. It was not because It was just all because of her looks; her amazing, flawless, beautiful look.
Troy felt a nudge. And he finally snapped out from gazing on her. He couldn't help it. He just lived with her for a day and he already couldn't stop looking at her. That was a problem he needed to fix.
"I'm… Troy" he sent a glare at Chad who nudged him then stuck out his hand
"Nice meeting you…" she decided to play a little joke on Troy, "Self… centered… jock" she said simply while examining him from head to toes
Troy was taken aback; he took back his 'un-shook' hand. A few 'oohs' were heard from the crowd. He never felt so low in his life. And he kinda liked how that felt for a first time, not having people thinking he was perfect and priding him all the time. He looked into her calm chocolate brown eyes, and just by that, he knew she didn't mean it
"Come on Gabby… Let's so to class"
This time… Sharpay was the one who was dragging her
"Wow... That girl was hot" Chad said
"Be careful, Taylor might be around" said Jason
"No! I mean she was hot… but I'm in love with Taylor" said Chad defending himself
"Whatever dude… But she was like… an angel"
"She is practically from the heaven" mumbled Troy
"You say something?" said Zeke
"No!" he said quickly covering up for his mistake
"Oh, just say you're pissed that she insulted you" said Chad
He was not insulted, because she didn't mean it. Even if she did, he wouldn't be offended a bit with what she had said… because it was true. The way he acted in front of his friends was as a 'self centered jock' that Sharpay had pointed out. He was a jerk; actually every single person in the school should talk that way to him. They should confront him and tell him right in his face that they don't like him. They didn't like that he was a stuck up person, that he was a bragger, that he was a player.
But that all really weren't him. He was actually a sweet, caring jock. Sometimes he wanted to be like Zeke, so they could think that he was a sensitive person even he was a jock. Nothing was actually wrong with jocks. It was just a reputation, so why people had to think that jocks are just a bunch of self centered people? They really didn't have to think that just because they made touchdowns, homeruns or baskets. They were just doing what they were passionate about. People should clear their minds. If people played sports, that didn't mean that they loved all the attention they were getting. Yeah sure it was fun in the first time, but as it got bigger, it got kinda annoying.
Even Chad dated a geek, Taylor McKessie. Still everyone thought that his ego was as big as his afro hair. He dated Gabriella, and no one thought that he was not just a cheerleader-type guy. Maybe that was because he eventually broke up with Gabriella, and he had dated almost half the girls in the school. But, he knew, even if he didn't break up with Gabriella, they would still think that he was a self centered jock. Just look at Chad. No one changed their point of view even since he dated the sweet girl, Taylor.
That was because no one knew the jocks. They were more than just meet the eyes. They were more than just the school's sports players. They had feelings too. Even some had said that Troy was heartless to keep breaking every girl's hearts. They had a right to say that actually, he was a player. A really big player. Why did he date all girls he didn't if he knew he would eventually broke up with them? That was running in everyone's mind. But no one knew the answer; they loved him even as a 'self centered jock'
"Nah… I'm not pissed… not a bit…" he said
It was weird for him. A girl could have such a great effect on him. With only one 'insulting' word… She could let his mind explore more about the word… 'Self centered jock'. It was as simple as that. But the thoughts of it were rummaging around inside his head. She was driving him crazy, and he fell for it. He was not realizing what that effect meant, they were meant to be.
"Taylor!"
The curly black haired girl took her eyes off her book.
"What? You better be quick… You had officially cut… 2 seconds from my reading time" she said glancing at her watch
"We have a new friend!!" Gabriella stepped aside showing Taylor the sight of the blonde
"Well…" she said standing up walking around circling her watching her head to toes, "Is she a dumb blonde or the ones that cares oh-so-much about designer clothes?"
Sharpay didn't believe what she was hearing. One second everyone was nice and friendly and the next minute, someone she didn't know made a rude remark on her, and she didn't even touch her. She didn't get her, she wasn't wearing any designer clothes, she just did some kind of magic to dress her up like humans, but she didn't know it was too much; even so, she liked how she looked as a human. But it was the real girl world, not everything was nice.
"Okay… Continue your book, Tay…" said Gabriella pushing Sharpay away from Taylor before it got worse
"Sorry, she wasn't usually like that. She's just… she's just get cranky when someone interrupted her book" said Gabriella sitting in her chair
"I don't get her. Should I change my hair color? Why people hate blondes so much?" said Sharpay
"Well… No one hates blondes… It's just a hair color. Taylor… Well, she had into a really big fight with Laura when they were in sixth grade and she hated blondes since… I know Taylor SOMETIMES could be pathetic… But you can not sue her for hating blondes, Laura's the bitch" said Gabriella taking out her cell phone
"Oh… Then maybe I'll give her a chance… What do you know about Troy Bolton?" said Sharpay
"Troy Bolton the 'self centered jock'?"
Sharpay laughed slightly on that. She didn't mean that, she just wanted him to feel imperfect for a second in his life.
"Yeah"
"Well, almost everyone here are his 'friends'…" she said making air quotes, "Maybe he looked like a normal self centered jock sometimes, but he is really sweet when you get to know him. The only problem is his 'problem' staying with a girl more than a month. Girls are head over heels for him, even if he had dated them and dumped them, they still went for him… Those kinds of girls are like… pathetic" said Gabriella
She just merely nodded. She saw the basketball team and Troy about a few feet away from the classroom door. She took a random seat, which was in front of Gabriella then started to have a conversation with her again.
"You're in my seat" she heard a lame fact
"And your point, Bolton?" she smirked at his sight, standing up. She was playing with him
"Wow! You got my name right. My point is… move your cute little butt out from it" said Troy simply playing along with her with a hint of sarcastic in his voice
She laughed. She couldn't take it anymore, playing with him was hilarious; and that made the whole room's attention to both Sharpay and Troy
"Okay… I'll stop playing. You can have your seat back, Troy" she put an emphasis in his name
"That was not funny Shar!" he said back not caring the class' attention to both of them
"It was…" she trailed off watching the class' attention to both of them
"Why are they watching us?" she whispered to him
"Welcome to my world" he whispered in her ear back slightly touching his soft mouth to her ear
She just smiled at him and looked for an empty seat in the class putting her finger in her chin.
"Ugh… Just take it" he said suddenly
"Take what? I didn't say anything!" she said in defense
"You pretended to be all innocent… again… Just take it" said Troy
She sat down to the seat again
"You know, I'm not acting… I really didn't ask for this" she said feeling a slight guilty in her
"Really… Just take it" he stroked her silky hair then sit in the empty seat beside her
She shot him a smile for his compassionate. She thought about what Gabriella, who was behind her, had said. She was right; he was sweet… once you got to know him.
Head is in the clouds...
Heart is in the sky...
Mind is in a dreamboat...
You're the reason why…
The effects of each other's presence had been felt…
And what ever the felt about it, they love being near with each other…
It was a sign…
