Acting
Love is hope. Hope is faith. Faith is trust. Trust love
When times get tough
you're always behind me
Troy Bolton
Was always behind
Sharpay Evans
She was no longer innocent with that little white lie. However, he was there to help her.
She was going to be acting around him…
Acting that she didn't care about him
Troy Bolton & Sharpay Evans
East High, 09:42 am
The sun hit her face and he couldn't help but think that she was some kind of angel or something. That was because she was a fairy, she lived in heaven with all that sanity and that what made her beautiful. Chats of different people were filling the air of the room colliding with Mrs. Darbus' roaring voice that was talking about the harms of cell phones in class. She looked like bored like she was in hell, but she had never been to hell… so it might be the worst thing she had experienced, yet she still looked pretty and calm as ever watching the sky through the window.
"… and one more thing that I'm against in my class beside cell phones is day dreaming!"
She snapped from her 'la-la' land and found the white haired woman standing right in front of them with a hand on her desk; she knew she was in trouble
"It's your first warning. We'll get to know each other more Ms…"
"Evans" she said quickly couldn't wait for the woman to take her attention off her
"You're lucky Ms. Evans… It's your first day and the class is almost over"
Right when she finished with her threatening words, the bell rang. It was like she was physics and it was freaky how she did that. The student rushed out at once awfully trying to get out of the room like it was some kind of a lion's cage. Some of the students like to think her as that. But, they didn't realize her admirable teaching skills and the successful school's productions that laid her name beneath each scene. But even she was sending shrills down to the student's spines, she was a human, she had feelings and she was sweet once you get to know her, it was just because she was strict… really, really strict.
"I hope you learn something from today's class Ms. Evans" she said watching the blonde about to leave the room the last
"No day dreaming. Get it Ma'am" she sent the old woman a warm smile
Mrs. Darbus smiled back. It was rather awkward for her to smile to one of her students because she wasn't rather fond of teenagers, but Sharpay was different. Somehow, having her presence made her felt peace. She made her calm; she didn't give her any detention, did she? No, it was not because it was her first warning that she didn't get a detention. Even the little miss perfect Gabriella got detention by Darbus on her first day. Sharpay was an exception in her list, and it was still her first day. It was almost like she had a halo aerial. But that made a total sense, she was a fairy and she was filled in pure sanity and kindness covering each inch of her.
The brunette rushed over to her as soon as she completely got out the 'lion cage'. It had got her wondering since the class hadn't even begun and she couldn't take it, she needed to ask her; it was the question that was running in everyone's mind. She wasn't the one who was wondering…
"Did you know him?"
"Know who?" Sharpay said not taking her eyes off her schedule
"Troy Bolton"
She stopped mumbling her schedule. The sounds of her heels clicking disappeared as it stopped on the white, dull ceramic floors that made perfectly with the white plain lockers. East High really did not have a taste in colors.
"Maybe... Why would you think that?" she said turning her eyes on her class schedule again slowly began to get back to her tracks
"Well the 'self-centered jock' gave you his seat. He was not that sweet. You seem to know each other" the brunette girl not taking her deep chocolate eyes off the angel face of Sharpay Evans
"Well maybe… I knew him before I went to East High… But I hardly knew him. I just met him yesterday and now, I'm here" she said in simplicity
"What!? Are you his girlfriend or something?" she said with a gasp
"NO! Eww, no… I wouldn't do that even he is… Troy Bolton" said Sharpay
"But… I never saw him so sweet to anyone else before?" she was still trying to get an answer out of her
"Maybe there's more than meet the eyes" she said leaving the confused brunette behind to think, heading to her locker
Sharpay was right. Gabriella was a smart girl she knew Sharpay was right, there was always more of everyone than meet the eyes. Troy was no exception even in everyone's eyes he was the perfection, the person everyone wished their lives could be like him. Everyone seemed to know that Troy had no heart for his reputation as a player, not the 'self-centered jock' because it was typical for every jock; but after what had happened in that particular class that Mrs. Darbus happened to teach in for the last few years, maybe that would send some second thoughts to people's mind that he could care for other people too. Even if it was just offering his seat to Sharpay.
But some people had different perspective. And everyone had a different point of view. No matter what they are, everyone had to respect that even they would not agree on it. Just like Troy with the basketball team
"What? Are you dating that chick who insulted you 'self-centered jock'?" said Chad
"I'm not dating her, guys," said Troy trying to clear their minds from any crazy thoughts and views
"Really? You seemed to have known each other," said Chad again
Chad was always the one with curiosities. Maybe that was what making his hair grew so big. Maybe inside that giant afro freak's hair it was full with his curiosity. Nevertheless, whatever remarks people made, did not mind him… he just ignored it, after all he was the Varsity's basketball co-captain. But that was only because it was about his hair, not about his teammates
"I known her for barely called a day" said Troy putting his books into his locker
"Well, are you going to stop for the senior and go for her?" said Chad again
Chad was really getting into his nerves that time. Must he know everything that was going on with his life? He could not just answer simply to him that he knew her because she was a fairy that was sent for him because he couldn't stay with a girl more than a freaking month. He wouldn't do that
"Look… She doesn't even matter; there are a lot of girls in this school. Just pick one of them to be the subject of our conversation. Except for her" he said trying to get his best friend's mouth shut in its place
"Wow… Troy Bolton does not like a girl… Especially she's blonde," said Chad over reacting about the whole thing
With that, Troy just really wanted to punch him right in the jaw. He was in his last nerves and he couldn't take it that Chad couldn't accept the fact that he wasn't interested in a blonde girl for a first. So what if he didn't like a blonde for the first? Look at Laura that bitch, she was blonde but almost everyone hated her because her… let's just say, irritating attitudes. That was not really the first time Troy was not interested in a girl, he never really interested in a girl, he just dated them. For his friends, they all thought he 'loved' all girls. But his friends didn't really know him, he just knew him as his 'self-centered jock' self, not his real self. Then, the only one he could turn to reveal himself was really just Sharpay.
Then with a "Whatever", Troy left all his irritating so-called-friends and headed to meet Sharpay. But he couldn't find her anywhere near her locker, and she hadn't known much place in the school yet. He decided to just head to the gym early before 4th period practice begun and let her have the rest of the day alone without his company, having her own space.
"You're early"
He had got in a couple of shots into the basket, and when he was about to make another, a sound behind him made him stopped dribbling the round, orange, bouncy, ball. He turned spun around and settled his eyes on the pretty blonde who was sitting on the empty bleachers.
"I've just got here… What are you doing here?" he said making another basket
"I don't know…" the blonde walked down the bleacher slowly, enjoying her time in each step
"Maybe you" she said leaning to him in a short, sweet kiss
It was short that he didn't even have time to respond to it. He didn't feel any sparks at all, yet the kiss felt sweet.
He didn't know what to feel to that kiss…
"Hello?" he spoke through his phone
"Troy… I'm lost" said the sweet voice on the other line
"Again? Oh my god Sharpay, can't I change up after practice without you calling each 5 minutes?"
"I could if you tell me where the library is" she said with a smile, but he couldn't see that smile
"What the hell are you going to do in the library anyway? There are just books there" he said annoyed with the calls he had received from her since the past 20 minutes
"Not just books, Gabby too! Now are you going to let me lost all day?" she said with an angelic voice
Right… that Gabriella, why did she make it harder for him? Why Gabriella didn't just took Sharpay to library so she wouldn't have called each 5 minutes to him telling him that she was lost. He was glad that he could hear her voice, but not each minutes and it was only asking for directions in the school. Why did she can do magic that she had a cell phone with just a spell? It got annoying that she was lost each time. But it was his decision that she must go to school with him.
"Can't you just wait until I'm there and take you to library myself? I just have to get change without you calling every time!" he said making his point that she was interrupting him
"Sorry… I'm in the cafeteria. I don't want to wait for you in this big, empty, cafeteria with the lunch lady! She scares me with that mustache she's way scarier than Mrs. Darbus," she tried to make him felt sorry for her
He chuckled at her statement and got an idea
"Then… You saw the wooden door in the left corner of the cafeteria in the second floor?" he smirked, he knew she couldn't see that
"I'm in the second floor… Then?" she asked again
"You'll see a stair in there. Just go upstairs"
He hung up the phone before she could make any reply. He just tricked her to a place that was making her more lost that she already was. But, he didn't lead her to some place dangerous, he knew exactly that place by his heart, and his teammates did too.
"What do you want to do with her in there?" said Jason teasingly while the rest of the team just raised their eyebrows
"Nothing that's not your business" he said simply leaving to the place
She knew that it was not the library, who would put a library by going up from a door in a cafeteria? He was lying to her and she should have known it. Maybe it was some kind of a revenge that she kept asking him for directions through the school, but it wasn't her fault that she didn't know about the places in that huge school, and he was the one who was asking her to come to school.
Then again, the place was beautiful. There were plants everywhere, but not covering the marvel scenery from the balcony with winds slightly brushing her hair every now and then. And with only counts of seconds, she loved the place already. If that was how a 'self-centered jock' got his revenge, he was not good at it, not at all.
"Hey"
She turned her head from the beautiful scenery
"Am I seeing books here?" she said sarcastically
"Hey, you're not looking for books" he said standing beside her, "You're looking for Gabriella" he whispered softly
"No difference… She's not here" she replied in her perky voice, leaving him for the bench
"Well… It's not my fault that I couldn't let you to her when I was changing" he put an emphasis in the word
"Okay… Maybe it was my fault" she said admitting it, "Sorry"
"Next time, you are not allowed to be 5 feet away from me" he said sitting beside her on the bench
"Even if you were changing?" she said in a joking manner
"Why do you have to get lost when I'm changing?" he asked himself as if it was his fault
She let out a soft giggle at his words
"I don't want to be at least 5 feet from you. It'll take too much attention" she said simply
"I know"
'No, you don't know! I mean everyone that I don't even know were coming to me and asked me if I was dating you!"
He knew exactly how that felt, because it happened to him too… But attentions were something he lived with every single day; even it was getting annoying sometimes. It was her first time, and it was amazing how he could bring so much attention to a new girl at school, his popularity might be higher than the wide blue sky.
"That would've been nice" he let out a sigh
She slapped his arm playfully. She didn't want that to happen even if he was joking about it, she was an obedient girl and she was going to take the rules whether she liked it or not. But somewhere deep inside them, they knew that it was right.
She let out a deep sigh and sank deeper in her seat remembering the event earlier with Gabriella
"What's wrong?" he said out of nowhere
"Nothing" she said unconvincingly
"Really, what's wrong?"
"I did something horrible…" her voice was quiet
"Really? I thought someone like you wouldn't do anything bad" he said trying to cheer her up
"No… It really felt horrible" she said not getting his attempt to make her feel better
"Hey, I'm your friend right?" he asked holding her shoulders, looking into the deep, yet twinkling, chocolate eyes
"Y…Yeah… I mean… Of…o-of course" she stuttered at their close positions
"Then tell me about it" he let go of his grip from her shoulder knowing that she felt uncomfortable with it, even he really didn't want to let go
"Well… if I tell you… promise to say something friendly okay?" she replied
"I'll help you find a solution" he said simply
"I… I lied today" she said after taking a deep breath
"About what?"
"I lied to Gabby that I was from New York"
He smiled at first, but soon it was turned to fits of laughter
"That's what bringing you down?" he raised both his eyebrows to her
"Well… YEAH! I haven't lied before. It felt… horrible" she covered her eyes with her delicate hands
Suddenly he felt sorry for her. It was just a little white lie that couldn't even hurt Gabriella and she felt bad for it. She was not innocent anymore, to her point of view; however she was still in his, and he would try to convince her that.
"Then… don't think it as lying. Think it as acting" he offered her a smile
She titled her head to her right asking him for more explanation
"Well… Now, you're not Sharpay the 'fairy'. You're Sharpay the human. Think of it as another part in a play. You're acting, not lying" he gave her a genuine smile
"Acting?" she replied softly thinking of his suggestion in her head, "I could do that"
"Great…"
An awkward silence was colliding with the cold winds that were brushing across them constantly. Troy was not thinking at all. He was leaning slowly to her and she didn't know what to do. But fate was choosing her side, the bell rang.
"We should…" she trailed off
"Yeah… I…"
"Troy! Are you here?"
A sound that totally didn't belong to both of them flew in the air. It was Gabriella's voice.
"Oh, you're here too? I was waiting for you at the library. I guess you love the 'self-centered jock' better huh? "
"I don't like him better. He's a jock. Let's go to class" she linked her arms to the brunette that was standing beside the stairs
"Okay…" she walked together with the blonde that was apparently looked like she was struggling to get them out of there, "By the way…"
"Yeah?" Troy asked
"Chad's looking for you" she said simply while disappearing from his sight with the beautiful blonde
He didn't move a feet and went to class or looked for Chad. Sharpay could be really surprising sometimes. At a time, she was calling him his friend and the next thing, she got back to call him 'self-centered jock' after she had said that she was playing with him. He didn't get her at her, he wasn't used to people that called him 'self-centered jock' and not praising him all the time. And that's what he liked about her. Again, he cursed that bell in his heart and left for class.
"You're with him… again… alone" said the brunette flipping her hair behind trying to point her point
"So?" said the blonde not getting her point
"So… You're so into him. Trust me you don't want to be" said Gabriella trying to convince the girl
It was not because Troy was a bad person that she didn't want Sharpay to be close with him. She was just afraid that if they broke up when they started dating, she would be like that girls that hated him just because he didn't felt sparks. But those kinds of girls had no rights to hate him, they didn't felt sparks too, they were just wanted to upgrade their social status by dating the varsity captain. Everyone knew what was going to happen with 'Life after Troy' after they got dumped and he wouldn't even remember their names anymore, they're turning to basketball's haters a.k.a hating their leader, Troy. Considering that Sharpay had a great nerve to call Troy 'self-centered jock' in front of his crowd, she didn't want Sharpay to be one of those haters because she might have enough nerves to bring Troy down… if they did began dating and broke up.
But some smart and understanding girl like her didn't turn to those kinds of girls because their eyes were opened the whole time they were with him. He didn't feel sparks and like Gabriella, the rest of them were feeling mutual and be friends with him and the team. She wished Sharpay could be like that if Troy decided to ask her out. She knew Sharpay didn't get a new impression when she met Troy at school for her 'self-centered jock' quote, got buzzing around the school
"Oh… The girl that called Troy, 'self centered-jock'" said the slightly taller blonde coming with the rest of the cheer squad
"I assume the girl is Sharpay. May I help you?" she said with no fear at all
"Good nerves. May consider the cheerleader team?" she said eyeing Sharpay head to toes
"Sorry… I'm not into a team that consist fake girls with pompoms priding Troy Bolton all day as if he was some kind of God"
Laura was not going to take that as a comment. She was going to take that as an insult. That was girl world
"You think you're really something that Troy Bolton offered you his seat don't you?" she said dangerously taking a step closer to her, news really had gone fast
"No. I think you're jealous" she said simply seeing her fake plastic face that had jealousy written all over it
"I'm not jealous. Because I'm more special than you" she said with a devilish smile
Sharpay really didn't know what she's getting into with Laura. She was a bitch and the whole school knew it, watching her comments on her right by counts of minutes, Sharpay realized that too. She hated that girl, just like everyone else did. She really thought she was something special, there were a lot of special things in the world, more than just considering the oh-so-awesome Troy Bolton. Like for first, she was a fairy. That wouldn't compare with whatever Laura did with Troy and that was totally not going to make her more special than Sharpay.
"What makes you think that?" she titled her head with an innocent smile
"We kissed" she said softly with hint of proud-ness in her voice then walked away with her squad, leaving her and Gabriella in the empty hallway
She knew it didn't make sense that Troy would kiss someone randomly and considering it was Laura. She was… annoying, if Sharpay must say leaving behind her rude remarks. Her smile disappeared hearing that two words, and even Laura couldn't see it, she knew that she had crushed Sharpay big time and she was proud of her 'work'. She didn't want to care for that, but somehow hearing that made her heart felt like being stabbed by something, it was something she had never felt before, and she didn't like it. It was the hint of jealousy.
"Where were you before? I practically sent a search party for you" said the afro guy standing in front of him
"I was in the science club's garden. You should've know that" said Troy making his point
"Well, I guess that's yet another reason my grades were going down" said Chad sitting down at the cafeteria table
"Hey guys" the table greeted both the basketball stars
"Hey"
The table was filled with chats around the guys. Constantly about girls. Troy never really liked that subjects, it was just because his friends 'thought' he liked girls. He didn't, he hadn't found one for him. The chat suddenly stopped as every eye on that table were settled on the blonde that had just walked in the cafeteria with Gabriella
"I'm so going to ask her out" said Zeke
He didn't know why, but somehow hearing his words wanted to make him scream right in front of his face 'NO'. He didn't want that, he did not want Zeke to do that, he didn't even want Sharpay to say yes. It was irritating for him hearing the rest basketball teams encouraging him to. He hated that.
Crushes only crush you,
Falling only hurts you,
Hearts will only break you,
If there is no love to save you.
