Shapary patiently waited a local restaurant near her apartment. She called Zeke and asked him to meet her here. She felt bad for leaving him hanging the other night, so she asked him to have lunch with her. She saw Zeke come out of his car, and walk in the restaurant. He had a nice car. But their apartment was just across the street, why would he drive?

"Hey Sharpay." He greeted, sitting down, so he was across her.

"Hey Zeke, thanks for meeting me on such short notice."

Zeke nodded, "Not a problem Sharpay, I'm just glad you called."

"What do you like kids?" A kind looking waitress asked them.

She took their orders and left. "So, why'd you bring a car? The building's just right there." She asked.

"Oh, I came from a-" He took time to think, "a meeting."

Sharpay nodded, "So, to get to the point. Zeke, I want to start over."

"Start over?"

"Start over. Try to be friends, act normal. I'm sure the others miss you, and the only thing holding them back is me. I missed you as well." She explained.

Zeke smiled, "That'd be great." He said, "I-uh-missed you too." He blushed.

The food came and they silently ate. What surprised Sharpay was the silence, it wasn't uncomfortable. When they finished eating, Sharpay asked the question she wanted to know since they started eating.

"Zeke?" She asked, "Who's paying?"

Zeke chuckled, "I'll pay. OK?" She nodded, and he got the check and gave the money.

"Err..so do you have anything to do after this?" Sharpay asked.

Zeke shook his head, "I'll probably just go home. How about you?"

"Well, the others are probably at home, you want to come?" She asked.

"You really think it's going to be OK with them? Especially Ryan?"

Sharpay nodded, "Yeah." They stood up and got ready. "You want a ride?"

She nodded, "OK."

They got in and Zeke drove to the building across the restaurant and parked in the basement. Sharpay couldn't believe she was in a car with Zeke, talking to him normally. It felt like her life was good again, but she knew it would be hard for her to be more than friends with him. That's if he wanted to be. But for now, they were friends, and they were both contented with it.

"So, 7th floor right?" Sharpay asked, once they got to the elevator.

Zeke nodded, "I like this."

"Like what?"

"This. We can talk comfortably. Like nothing even happened, and when we were eating, the silence wasn't uncomfortable. It was like before, when we were in High School." He said coming out of the elevator.

"Yeah, when we were dating." Sharpay muttered to herself, "What was that?" Zeke asked.

"Nothing, so where's your door?" As they stopped in front of hers,

Zeke pointed to the door 3 doors across from hers. "So, I get that this is yours?" He stood I front of her door.

Sharpay nodded, "I only found out that you lived here the night I was on the rooftop."

"I sort of knew you were living in this building, but I never found out where. I never looked because you asked me to stay away from you." He said, following her inside.

"Oh hey Sharpay, I wondered when you're coming back, I need help picking out a wedding dress." Gabriella rambled, not looking at the door to find Zeke. She was sitting on the floor and looking at wedding magazines. Magazines were scattered on the coffee table, and on the floor.

Gabriella looked like a mess, her hair was tied up in a messy bun, she was a bit sweaty, and her eyeliner and mascara were messed up as well.

Sharpay silently giggled, and looked at Zeke, he was smiling broadly. "Oh, sure, OK." Sharpay replied.

"When's the wedding anyway?" Zeke asked, as he followed Sharpay to the couch.

Gabriella shrugged, "I don't know Zeke, maybe September, October?"

Sharpay chuckled, "3..2...1" She counted.

"Zeke!" Gabriella shrieked. She stood up and hugged him. But then pulled back and stepped away. "What's going on here?" She suspiciously asked the two. She was confused, really confused. Didn't Sharpay hate him?

"I asked Zeke to meet me for lunch, we agreed to start over and be friends." Sharpay simply replied. She got a bridal magazine and started to look at designs.

"OK, this is just so weird. But I'm glad you guys are fine." Gabriella said, "Uhh, Gabs? Can I be honest?" Zeke asked, Gabriella nodded, curious at what he was going to say. "Did Hurricane Katrina's sister stop by? It looks like you were her main target." Zeke snickered, Sharpay laughed really hard.

"You-" She hit his arm, "Are-" And another hit, "So-" Another hard hit, "Arrogant!" Zeke ran around the apartment, trying to hide from Gabriella.

"I can't believe you had the guts to say that Zeke." Sharpay looked behind the couch where he was currently hiding. "What? I couldn't resist." He laughed, finally stopped from hiding and sat down next to Sharpay.

"Oh, just because you two are all happy and good, you're all gonna gang up on me?!" Gabriella glared, "I can't believe you Shar, when you were getting over Zeke, when you were ugly and smeared with ruined make up, I didn't make fun of you!" Gabriella covered her mouth, ashamed that she just said information that she had sworn to keep a secret.

But it was a good thing Zeke didn't catch what she had said because she was laughing a lot. "Gabriella!" Sharpay hissed. "Can I talk to you privately?" She glared, this time, Gabriella flinched.

Zeke stopped laughing and noticed the time, "Uhh, go ahead guys, I better go home already. Tyler's probably home already, maybe I'll bring him here someday." Zeke said, grabbing his coat and bid goodbye.

"Freaky math girl!" Sharpay hissed when Zeke had left, "Do you know what you just did? You sworn to secrecy that we will never talk about that time again, or if we would, we're alone."

"I'm sorry Shar. It just slipped, he didn't even hear it." Gabriella said. "Now, it's your turn Evans. Explain. Now."

Sharpay looked innocently at her, "Explain what freak math girl?" She used her nickname

"Don't play innocent with me Ice Bitch." Gabriella said, also using her nickname during High School, "I want all the details. No leaving out any detail."

Sharpay sighed, "I guess there's no hiding with you." She said, "Well, remember the night that I told you I saw Zeke?" Gabriella nodded, "Yeah, you left at 9:00, you came back 1:00 am."

"I got to talk to him, on the rooftop. He was so kind and he said sorry, and I could see the sincerity in his eyes. I hugged him, I forgave him. But then he told me knows we can never go back to the way we were, and I got upset and told him that he's right. And I just left."

"And then this morning I felt bad about leaving him there hanging, so I got lucky that the number I called was still his. We ate lunch, and we agreed to start over and be friends. And then we got home and you were here, and he insulted you by saying that Hurricane Katrina's sister-"

"OK! We know that part already." Gabriella said, cutting her off. "I'm happy for you Shar, but, you still love him, more than a friend. Can you control your feelings?"

Sharpay nodded, "Yeah" She shrugged, obviously not wanting to talk about the subject. "I'm gonna go and talk to Brian now. Make things better."

"Oh, OK, take care then."

Sharpay bid goodbye and drove to Brian's apartment. It was on the other side of the town, but what Sharpay loved was it was next to the mall. Sharpay with money + mall EQUALS happiness. After I talk to Brian, I am going to the mall because I am happy, and I have money, and probably Brian's money.

She parked and went to his room. Brian was rich, Sharpay was richer, but she loved spending his money. He lived in an OK apartment, it was fine. Brian worked with different people; he was an agent. He was a talent agent, which made complete sense why he was meeting with Zeke.

Sharpay knocked three times with a beat, and put on a bright smile. Brian opened the door, to find a surprise, "Shar? Hey." He kissed her cheek and invited her in, "Not to be rude or anything Shar, I'm glad you're here and talking to me, but what's with the surprise visit?"

"Nothing Brian. I just wanted to let you know I forgive you, and I expect a wonderful dinner later at a fancy restaurant." She said, as she put her purse on the kitchen table and stood there.

"Dinner eh? Uhh-sure. I can book a reservation at Remy's. But I can't pick you up, I have a meeting at 5:00 and it might end at 6:00 or 6:30. Just go to Remy's at 7:00 OK?" He walked towards her, "I'm really sorry I can't pick you up, but I promise you, the dinner's going to be fine." He kissed her softly on the lips.

Sharpay smirked, dinner at Remy's. It was one of the finest restaurants in New York City. She kissed him back, falling into a heavy make-out session.

After about 10 minutes, Sharpay pulled back and fixed herself. "I'm going to the mall Brian, see you later." She grabbed her purse and left him.

When she closed the door, they both smirked at the same time, "Dinner's gonna be yummy. Mall, here I come." She whispered, walking away. Meanwhile, "God, I pity her." Brian whispered, going back to his bedroom.

Zeke was watching TV, he didn't know why but he was watching a chick flick. And not just any chick flick, it was A Walk to Remember. It was kind of like the boss of chick flicks, next to the Titanic of course.

"Hey Zeke." Tyler greeted, coming out of his bedroom, all dressed up. "You got a date with Elle tonight?" Zeke asked happily.

Tyler looked at him weirdly, "Yeah. Why are you so happy? You're beaming. Did you get lucky or something?"

Zeke glared at him, "Shut up Tyler. No, I did not. But Sharpay's talking to me again."

"Sharpay? Your high school girl?"

Zeke nodded, "Yeah, isn't that great?"

"Whatever, anyway, I have to go, I'll see you later." Tyler said, grabbing his coat and the keys of the car Zeke used today. "Be safe!" Zeke teased, earning a glare from him.

"Stuck at home again, crap, I'm pathetic." He whispered to himself, "I really need to get a job!" He said, as he watched Mandy Moore sing Only Hope.

Sharpay looked at the clock, 6:45, she was walking to the restaurant since it was only a block away from her place. She was wearing a red cocktail dress, which only went up to her knee. It fit her in all the right places, and putting out just enough cleavage that made her sexy yet not slutty.

"Gabriella! I'm leaving!" Sharpay yelled, she grabbed her small black purse. The only reply she got was a muffled yes. Gabriella and Troy were making out in the living room. She rolled her eyes at the pair and left.

It felt nice walking in New York City, the lights, the tall buildings, everything. The theater was amazing. Sharpay once saw a musical there; it made her pursue her dream again. She was going Broadway, and nothing could stop her. She always imagined being in Broadway with her twin, but he changed path. He moved to a better suiting path for him, but Broadway was her dream. It was her destiny.

She finally arrived at the restaurant, and asked the guy putting people to their seats. "Uhh-I have a reservation under Wilson? Brian Wilson?" She politely asked the busy man.

The man looked at her closely, "There is no one named Wilson on the list. Sorry." He coldly said.

"No, no, no, no. You must have some kind of mistake, my boyfriend made a reservation for a 7:00 dinner. It's 7:00." She said.

"Nobody in the name of Wilson has made a reservation here, excuse me Miss, I still have a lot to do." He coldly said. "There he is right there." Sharpay saw Brian's head from the Archway. "Don't come in there!" The man yelled, but she still walked towards the table and she dropped her purse from shock.

Brian was there, but he wasn't alone. He was kissing a red-headed girl, and holding her hand. She felt tears spring on her eyes, something inside of her was alive. She took her purse from the floor and stomped towards them. The Ice Princess was back, at least for now.

She took Brian's glass of Champagne and dropped it on his head. They finally pulled back and saw her standing there, "You son of a bitch." Sharpay whispered.

"Sharpay, I can explain." Brian said, standing up, his brown hair dripping wet. The red-headed girl excused herself; she obviously didn't want to be in any part of this.

"Explain it to someone who cares. Sharpay Evans doesn't talk to crap." She slapped him, and stomped away.

"I told you not to come in there." She heard the man who she talked with earlier said. She should've listened. She just should've.
