"Hey Sharpay." Zeke nervously said, leaning on a locker next to her.

Sharpay looked at him disgustingly for a moment before opening her locker and looked for a new outfit.

Zeke coughed awkwardly, "So, I heard Troy Bolton's going to be in your show-" He got cut off by Sharpay glaring at him.

"Troy Bolton is not in my show!" She held up a finger, to prove her point. She then went back to picking her new outfit.

Zeke nodded, "So, I was wondering if you could watch me play ball sometime." Zeke tried to act casual.

Sharpay took out an outfit and glared at him, "I'd rather stick pins in my eye." She hissed.

Zeke looked at her, confusion evident in his face, "Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?" He cluelessly asked.

Sharpay looked at him, "Evaporate, tall person!" She hissed, as she slammed her locker shut and walked away angrily.

Zeke panicked, "I-I bake!" He yelled, "If that helps." He sadly whispered as he walked away.

"Oh crap." Zeke rubbed his forehead, and got out of his bed. He went for a nap and had that dream. He remembered he was really convinced that Sharpay would never like him, but he tried again, that's how much he loved her. "I still love her." He whispered to himself, "Oh no. No. No."

"Hey, I know you're angry with me, but please, can we talk? I'm really sorry Shar. Talk to me as soon as you get this message." Brian's voice died out when he hung up the phone. He was constantly calling; they hadn't talked since the Starbucks incident. Sharpay didn't want anything to do with him, but she couldn't just push him out of her life, she loved the boy. It's just not the love that she had for Zeke.

"When are you even gonna call the boy?" Gabriella asked annoyance in her voice, she continued eating some cereal.

Sharpay glared at her from the couch, "How 'bout never?" She sarcastically said.

Gabriella sighed, "Look 'Pay, he didn't even know you knew Zeke. It wasn't really his fault." She reasoned out.

Sharpay stood up, and put her hands on her hip and looked sternly at her, "Who even said this was about him?" She said "him" with so much anger and disgust.

"Then what's it about?" Gabriella didn't even flinch when Sharpay glared at her, she was used to it. After 4 years of living with her, how could she not get used to it?

Sharpay groaned, and put her hands on her eyes and stomped towards Gabriella, "It's about our relationship! How he hurt me and he didn't even care. How he was all about his work. He doesn't even care anymore Gabs." She whispered the last sentence softly.

"Look, maybe he just got carried away or something Shar. But if you don't love him anymore, just break up with him." Gabriella explained.

Sharpay looked confused, "You think I should? I think..I didn't even love him." She said.

"I think, I still love Ze-Zeke?" She somewhat asked instead of stating it, "When I saw him that night, I was angry, yeah, but I had the right to be angry right? He promised me, he'd write, he promised to keep in touch, but he didn't. And then when I saw him this the other day, I just felt like he's the one that's been missing my whole life. Like he's just that one piece that's been missing, and if he comes back, my life would be whole again, it would be perfect. And when I saw him talking to that candy-girl, it just made my insides burn with jealously." She started to ramble,

"And now I still do love Zeke." She finally stated. "Oh crap." She groaned.

"Wait, you saw Zeke the other day?" Gabriella panicked.

Sharpay nodded, grabbing some grapes from the table, "Yeah, I saw him. What exactly was he doing here Gabs? Please don't lie to me, I know you know." She pleaded.

Gabriella made a mistake when she looked at Sharpay, she knew she couldn't handle her face. "Oh, God Shar, stop doing the puppy dog pout." She said, "He lives here OK?" She finally said, not wanting to look at her any further, it's either she might cry or she might be one angry Ice Princess, either way, it's bad.

"HE WHAT?" Sharpay screamed loudly, it made Gabriella flinch, as it reminded her of the Twinkle Towne incident. "Are you telling me that he lives in this very building?! IN THIS VERY FLOOR?!" She yelled, as she glared at Gabriella.

"Well, I never said that he lived in this very floor. You figured it out by yourself." She murmured, too bad Sharpay heard it. "Where?" Sharpay whispered.

"Just a couple of doors from here." Gabriella said.

"Hey girls, what's all the screaming about? We could hear it from the elevator." Jason said, as he entered along with the others. "So what were you going to announce Shar?" Taylor asked her.

Sharpay looked around, "I can't deal with this. I just..can't. I'm leaving for Broadway and now this." She murmured to herself, "I need time to think, I'll talk to you later." She ran out of her room and to the elevator.

"She's leaving?" Ryan asked, "Broadway? What?" He asked, confused as ever.

Sharpay got out of the elevator and looked around. She was on the rooftop; she always went here to think. It had a beautiful view of New York City, especially at night. It was really nice to be up here. She sat on one of the chairs provided by the establishment themselves. She closed her eyes, and let her tears fall. The wind was relaxing, it made all the pressure go away.

She sometimes wondered where was the Sharpay she knew back then, the one who wouldn't cry. The one who was strong, who never let anyone hurt her, where was it? Where was the Ice Princess? Before Zeke, she was strong, and feared. But also before Zeke, she had no friends. Before him, there were no problems; it was just her and musicals.

Where was the Ice Princess everybody feared back then?

She sighed, she knew the answer. The Ice Princess melted away.

She turned her head as she heard the door open; she didn't know other people know this spot. As she looked, she almost fell off of her seat as she saw who it was. As usual, faith made them see each other again. Stupid, stupid faith. Why me?!

Zeke gulped, she was there, again. His palms started to sweat, he was really nervous. Why? Because, he just realized he still loved her, while he just went out with Amanda the other day. He saw her crying, and his nervousness just went away. All he wanted to do was comfort her.

"Sharpay, what's wrong?" He asked, as he walked kneeled in front of her. "Look, I know I haven't been around. And I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise. But if something's wrong, I'd like to help. I still care, Sharpay." He was taking a huge risk. He might embarrass himself, and she might even hurt him, but he didn't care, he wanted her to know he still cared.

"Zeke.." She cried, and surprised him when she flung her arms around him and hugged him. She didn't know why she did it, but it just felt so right that she didn't regret it. It was a wonder how they fit perfectly together. She pulled out of the hug and just studied his features. He still looked the same, only a bit more mature and much taller.

Zeke wiped her tears away, and looked at her, "Sharpay, I'm really sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry I made you feel like I didn't care anymore. I know things can't go back to the way they were. But I'd still like to be a part of your life and I'd like you to be a part of mine." He said. "I'm so sorry."

"Things can't go back to the way they were before Zeke, even if we both want it to." Sharpay shook her head and stood up, "I don't think we can be friends. The more we're closer, the more we want things to go back to the way they were. And, I don't know. I'm confused Zeke. Just, give me time to think this out. And I don't think we can become closer, because I might leave and..I just need to think first Zeke." Tears were still making their way down. She took one last look and left.

"I still love you!" Zeke yelled, "If that helps." He sadly whispered. He knew she didn't hear it. It reminded him of the dream he had earlier. He stayed a bit, and thought of Sharpay's words. What did she mean she might leave?
