Chapter 8: Unexpected

1st period

Everyone's eyes were on Hayden. The girls staring in complete adoration, and the guys with insane amounts of jealousy. Everyone except for two-Sharpay and Troy. Sharpay was completely shocked, she defiantly didn't expect to see Hayden again. In fact, he was the last person she ever wanted to see in her life. As for Troy, that he wanted to kill him was putting it nicely.

Hayden looked around the room, there were a lot of attractive girls, but only one that caught his eye-Sharpay. She was the whole reason-the only reason, he decided to transfer to East High.

For good measure, Hayden also convinced Warren and Alex, his two best friends to transfer with him. Hayden never took the time to actually meet anyone at East High, and it wouldn't exactly be a good start to be a loser with no friends. He knew that making friends wouldn't be very hard, it's just finding ones you can actually trust that's the challenge. That's why he has Warren and Alex. The three of them had been best friends since kindergarten, and they were the only two people that actually knew him. But Hayden wanted to add a third to that list, and he wanted it to be Sharpay.

He didn't know why she had such an effect on him. Maybe it was because he had never been rejected before, but Hayden wasn't going to let her go. It was by complete coincidence that they even met in the first place. The only reason he even was at the party was because of his cousin Aaron. Aaron and Hayden were always really close, but Aaron lived on the East side of Albuquerque, therefore went to East High, while Hayden went to West High. Aaron was very popular at East high, and of course was invited to the party. Aaron asked Sharpay if he could bring his cousin, and she said it was okay. Then Aaron introduced them at the party, and he was hooked.

Sharpay seriously had to be the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He was determined to make her his, and he always got what he wanted. Hayden Rosner was basically the West High equivalent of Troy Bolton; all the girls liked him, all the guys wanted to be him. And when Sharpay rejected him, he didn't know what to do. Never in his life did he have to work this hard to get one girl. But just one look at her, and he knew she was worth it.

Hayden wasn't actually a bad guy. He only did stupid things when he was really, really drunk. That's why he decided to transfer into East High, he needed to find Sharpay and explain what happened at the party. He needed to apologize and tell her he was an idiot and beg for her forgiveness. Usually when he was that drunk he did things like crash cars, or get into fights, but never anything like he was going to do to her. Hayden would never take advantage of a girl like that-never. It was just that damn alcohol!

Hayden knew he had a bit of a problem with drinking; he realized that after his third trip to the hospital. Anyway, it always seemed to get him, or others, into trouble. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt Sharpay, but he wasn't exactly being himself. If it weren't for Troy Bolton, he would have probably had Sharpay that night, but not in the way he would have liked.

"Hayden? Hayden? Oh for goodness sake, Hayden!"

Apparently he spaced out for a while, and Mrs.Darbus had been trying to get his attention. He could see Warren and Alex laughing at him from their new seats. Warren was sitting next to Taylor and behind Chad, and Alex was sitting directly in front of Gabriella.

"Sorry, didn't catch that. What were you saying?" he said trying to keep cool, he had already made a fool of himself, and he didn't plan on doing it again.

"I was about to give you your new seat" she said obviously irritated. "Now would you kindly take a seat behind Miss Evans so we can start class."

Sharpay looked like she was about to kill someone. First she had to deal with the fact that he was in her class, and now he was sitting behind her! This was not what she had I mind when she said she wanted a change.

Hayden quickly took his seat behind Sharpay, and Mrs.Darbus wasted no time in announcing the auditions for the winter musical.

"As you all know, every year East High's theater department holds two productions-the winter musical, and the spring play. Auditions for the winter musical, Moulin Rouge will be held on the 13th and 14th of September, so you all have plenty of time to come up with an audition. As always we encourage anyone interested to . . ."

Hayden only half heard Mrs.Darbus. He was too busy looking at Sharpay to actually pay attention. He was also trying to think of a good way to approach her without getting killed. He saw her face when he walked in, and it wasn't very welcoming. It was clear that he was the last person on Earth she wanted to see. He was going to try to talk to her now, but he decided it would be a better idea to try after class.

Sharpay knew that Hayden was looking at her, she could feel his gaze burning through her. The intensity of his gaze was so strong, that she could barely even pay attention to what Mrs.Darbus was saying. More than anything she just wanted to get up and run as far as she could, but she knew better, so she did nothing.

9:30 AM

Break

As soon as the bell rung, Sharpay dashed out of the room. That had to be the absolute worst 90 minutes of my life! She knew he was watching her the whole time, and truth be told she was more that a little afraid. First the guy practically tried to rape her, and now he decides to transfer into her school? That was far too convenient to be a coincidence.

Sharpay quickly made her way to her locker. She dropped off everything she didn't need and was getting her things for her next class. Where on earth is my cell phone? She was so wrapped up in looking for her cell, that she didn't notice someone standing behind her.

"Looking for this?"

Sharpay felt her heart begin to race at the sound of his voice. She was afraid to turn around and face him, but she couldn't let herself look weak. It took everything she had in her to look at him, but she wouldn't let herself please him.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" She said slamming her locker for extra emphasis.

"Well you ran out of class so quickly-"

Sharpay really didn't have the patience to listen to his shit. She roughly grabbed her cell phone out of his hand, not even letting him finish.

"You know perfectly well that I don't mean that! How dare you come here?! How can you stand here and talk to me like nothing's wrong?!"

"Sharpay," he said in a soft voice, "we need to talk, you have to listen to me. I never meant to hurt you." Hayden lightly stroked the side of her arm, "I didn't mean to-"

Slap. "Don't you ever touch me again!" With that Sharpay walked away without letting him say a word.

Hayden held his cheek as he watched her walk away. This is going to be a lot harder than I thought.

East High parking lot

It had been almost two weeks since the beginning of school. In those twelve days life had changed drastically for everyone.

Sharpay and Troy were walking through the parking lot. Ever since last week he had been giving her a ride home. It wasn't that she didn't have a car, but she had to share it with Ryan, and lately Ryan needed the car more often.

"Aren't you at least happy for Ryan?"

"Oh yeah I'm ecstatic that he gets the car all to himself." She said sarcastically.

"Sharpay, he's your brother, you should be a little more supportive."

"I know, I was kidding Troy. Of course I'm happy for him, varsity captain-that's defiantly something."

The last couple of days had been all of the sports team try outs, and Ryan surprised everyone by trying out for the baseball team. He surprised them even more, when they announced that he was the varsity captain.

When they arrived at his car, Troy ever the gentleman, opened the door for Sharpay. Usually it was for both Sharpay and Gabriella, but Gabriella had been away from school for a couple of days.

"So is it okay if you drop me off at Gabriella's house instead? Technically it's Taylor's turn to bring her the homework, but since she didn't come to school today either . . ." The three of them had actually started to become friends. It turned out that they were all in the same classes together, and since Sharpay was Troy's best friend they decided to be friends with her. But today Sharpay didn't have either of them to talk to. Gabriella had been sick for a while, and Taylor missed school for the first time in her life.

"Yeah sure."

When they arrived at Gabriella's house, Sharpay quickly got her stuff and got out of the car. But it looked like Troy wasn't coming with.

"Hey are you not coming? She's you're girlfriend after all."

"Uh no, I have to be home early today. But tell her that I hope she feel s better." As mean as it sounded, he actually didn't want to see Gabriella today. He was really getting tired of coming over everyday and playing the nurse and watching her throw up occasionally.

"Oh, okay. Bye Troy." Sharpay gave him a soft kiss on the cheek before walking up to the door and ringing the bell.

She watched Troy drive away, and she waited for a while, but Gabriella wouldn't come open the door. She's probably in the bathroom throwing up again. Poor Gabriella. So instead of insisting with the doorbell, she pulled out the key Gabriella had given her (Taylor got one too, incase she didn't feel like coming to the door).

Sharpay opened the door and headed straight for Gabriella's room. When she was halfway up the stairs she could hear someone crying from the bathroom. It could only be Gabriella, there was no one else in the house. She quickly ran up the rest of the stairs and headed towards the bathroom. She opened the door and found Gabriella leaning against the bathtub crying her eyes out.

Sharpay kneeled at her side and took her hand. "What's wrong Gabby? Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

Gabriella faintly laughed. "What for? I'm not sick."

"What?" Sharpay was really confused. Of course she was sick, the poor girl looked like she was going to pass out any second.

Gabriella handed Sharpay what she had been clutching in her other hand. Sharpay looked at it for a moment and let it fall to the floor.

"Gabriella, you're-you're-"

"Pregnant." Said Gabriella before dissolving into a fit of tears once again.

Sharpay was in complete shock. She didn't know what to do or say, but she asked the first thing that came to her mind.

"Does Troy know?"

"I hope he never finds out."

Sharpay felt like she couldn't breathe. She was barely starting to be okay with Troy and Gabriella's relationship, but a baby? She could literally feel her heart splitting in two. Tears began to fall from her own eyes as she watched Gabriella cry.

"But, you have to tell him. If he's going to, if-if he's going to be a father-"

"He's not." Gabriella said faintly.

"What?! Gabriella, then who-?"

"Ryan."

To be continued . . .
