Troy's POV

Jesus…what's going on…? Troy thought to himself, quite concerned about Sharpay. He was thinking about the last thing she said before he got dragged away. 'Don't hate me' how could I ever hate her? How could I?! I could never – would never. He shook his head, trying to get the thoughts out of it as he ran along the corridor following someone; this someone suddenly stopped outside of the medical room, Troy looked at him, confused as to why they were there. Then it suddenly hit him; Gabriella…has Sharpay done something to Gabriella? He bit his lip. He stood there for a bit uncertainly until he felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked around and saw the stranger that brought him down here smile at him reassuringly then tap him on the back and give him a feeble push towards the door.

Troy walked in and looked around, he saw Gabriella at the end of the medical room, sitting with Taylor on a bench, holding napkins up to her nose, which were covered in blood. He walked over, and sat down at the other side of Gabriella; he placed a hand on her knee, and looked at her. He could see underneath the red stained napkin that she was trying to smile. He smiled back at her and looked at Taylor.

"Sharpay did this to her…" Taylor began, and Troy could tell by something in her voice, that Gabriella deserved it.

"Why…? What happened?" Troy asked, wanting to know what Gabriella did to make Sharpay do such a thing.

"Well…Gabriella was talking about…er - you…" Taylor replied, uncertain about what she should actually say.
"Me…?" Troy said, trying to sound like he was confused as to why Gabriella talking about him would lead to this, but actually he expected it.

"Uh, yeah…well, I can't remember exactly what Gabriella said, but Sharpay got pissed and stormed off, then Gabriella said something about it…uh, can't remember what…" Taylor said, flustered. Troy knew she remembered alright - she just didn't want to say.
"Then," Taylor continued "Sharpay just went for her, punched her full on in the face!"
Troy realised that they were talking like Gabriella wasn't there, when in actual fact she was sitting right in between them.

Gabriella suddenly made a sound that sounded like a sob, to get attention probably. Although Troy couldn't blame her much. He could tell her nose had nearly stopped bleeding, she lowered the napkin.
"Its broken…I hab to go to da hosbital" Gabriella said, her nose affecting the way she talked.
"Aww, poor baby." Troy said, stroking her hair.

Troy heard the door go; he looked around and saw a paramedic walking towards them. Eh…a paramedic just for a broken nose…? He thought, raising his eyebrows a little.
"I hab ta'go in an ambulance, 'cause my mom is at work' Gabriella suddenly said, almost as if she read his mind.

Gabriella looked at Troy as she stood up to go with the paramedics.
"Can you come wid me?" She asked, looking hopeful.

"Of course." Troy smiled at her; he knew it was his only choice. He felt guilty about it – but he kind of would rather go see Sharpay and get her to tell him exactly what happened.

Gabriella smiled. Troy and Taylor stood up. Taylor pulled Gabriella into a caring embrace.

"You'll be fine, hun. Troy will look after you." Taylor smiled, and Gabriella giggled. "I'll pop by your house later." Taylor gave her friend's arm a squeeze and walked out of the door with them, before leaving them and walking around the corner.

Sharpay's POV.

Sharpay was sat in the headmaster's office, fidgeting in her chair, nervously biting her lip.
Why, oh why did I have to hit her?! I should have just walked right out and pretended I hadn't heard her! She sighed, knowing that she can't go back in time; she'd already done the damage now and there was nothing she could do about it. She bit her lip as she heard the door open behind her. The headmaster walked in and sat at his desk.

The headmaster took a sip of his tea, and began to talk.

"Miss Evans…" He said, shaking his head. "You're not usually the type of person that would hit someone." He looked her in the eyes. "I really am ashamed of you…and you ought to be too!" He said, getting a little irate.

Sharpay gasped quietly at his tone, and bit her lip. She was a very confident person, and nothing bothered her…the stage was her home. So she couldn't really understand why she was feeling nervous now. She swallowed and shifted in her seat.

"What possessed you to do such a thing?!" He said with his voice raised.
Sharpay shrugged, and sniffed. She felt like she was going to cry.
The headmaster lowered his voice, and changed his tone, to a quite concerned one if anything. "What would drive a confident talented young lady like yourself to a point where you felt like hitting poor Gabriella?"

Sharpay felt herself get a little heated at this, when he had said it like Gabriella was the innocent one. "You don't know what she was saying!" She shouted.

"Now, now Miss Evans…keep your voice down." He replied, and when he said this, it made Sharpay get even more irate. "I understand what you are trying to say. Yes, I wasn't there. I wouldn't know what she was doing, but next time you feel like hitting her like that…I suggest you think twice, okay?"

Sharpay nodded, calming down.

"You know, I still have to punish you…" The headmaster said. "I know your temper got the best of you, but I cant give you an unfair advantage now can I? I need to treat you like I treat everybody when they conflict physical harm on another student." He shook his head slowly. "So, what I'm saying is…you are excluded from East High for today and tomorrow. I've called your parents, they are on their way." He smiled at her. "You can wait out here, outside the main entrance for your parents" He held the door open for her, and she walked out and sat down near the door, looking out the window for any sign of her parents. "See you on Wednesday, Miss Evans. And I don't want a repeat performance of this, is that clear?" He asked, sternly.
Sharpay nodded. "Yes, Sir."
Shit, shit, shit! She thought. What have I gotten myself into?! What are my mom and dad going to say! She sighed and continued looking for her parents out of the window.

Troy's POV.

Troy walked out of the hospital with Gabriella, her nose had a special plaster type thing on it.

"How does your nose feel now?" Troy asked Gabriella, taking her hand and holding it in his as they started walking home together.

"Fine." She smiled, as they set off down the road. It wasn't far to her house, and she expected Troy would come in.

Troy had Sharpay in his mind nearly all the way to Gabriella's. Well…she'd been in his mind near enough all day. He didn't know why he suddenly couldn't get her out of his head. Even when he was with his girlfriend, she was still there. Hmm, it might be something to do with the events that happened in the girls' bathroom… He shook his head, mentally scolding himself for thinking about it. Gabriella and Troy stopped because they had got to her house, she let go of his hand and opened her gate. Troy heard a car drive past, so he looked around and he saw that it was Sharpay's car, and as it went past, he saw a glimpse of blonde hair of the person sat in the back. Sharpay. Hmm, she must be excluded. Thought she would be… And before he knew it he had told Gabriella he had to go and was running down the street. He knew where he was going…and he wouldn't stop until he got there.

Troy stopped when it got up to a big house, and got his breath back. I THINK this is Sharpays house… He bit his lip, he'd walked her home once before, but he couldn't quite remember her house. He let out a sigh of relief as he saw Sharpay's parents' car was in the driveway. This was Sharpay's house, alright. He went up to the door and rang the doorbell. He straightened out his shirt, for something to do, while he was waiting for them to answer the door.

The door opened. It was Sharpay's dad.
"Oh, hey Troy." He said.
"Hey, Mr Evans. Um, is Sharpay there?" Troy asked.
"Yeah she is, I'll just go get her." Mr Evans turned around and walked to the end of the hall, through a door.

A moment later, the door down the hall opened again and Sharpay stepped out, closing it again behind her. Oh god, she looks so stunning! Troy thought, as he bit his lower lip. She had changed out of the clothes she was wearing for school, and was now wearing a tight fitting white thin strapped top, and some black skinny jeans, that clung to her so tight that he wondered how she actually got them on. She was wearing some fluffy white slippers, and she had straightened her hair, she was wearing a black and white hair band with a bow on in her hair, and there was a single silver chain with a little heart locket on, hanging around her neck. He smiled at her as she approached.

"Uh…hey." Troy grinned at Sharpay.

"Hey yourself." She grinned back.

"What happened today?" He asked her, concerned.

He saw her hesitating to answer. "Wanna go for a walk? You can uh – tell me then, I mean, if ya want." He asked.
She nodded, smiling.
"So…uh – you're not grounded or anything?" He asked, knowing that he probably would be if he had got excluded from school.

"Nope…daddy never grounds me." She grinned.
She opened a door near the front door, reached in and came out with some shoes. High heels – not a surprise there. They were black with a little white bow on, he noticed they matched with her head band, well – they matched with her whole outfit.
She put the shoes on and stepped outside, shutting the door behind her.

Troy smiled at Sharpay.
"You look…uh – nice."
"Thanks…you too." She smiled back. He didn't know how she thought he looked nice; he was in his black shirt, black jeans and vans, mostly what he normally wears.
He grinned at her as they started walking down the street.
Sharpay looked up at Troy. "So…you don't hate me then?" Sharpay said, serious.
"How could I ever hate you…" He smiled, knowing it was true. "But what did happen today, Sharpay?" He asked, looking into her eyes.
"Well…Gabriella was…bragging…about…uh – you…" She paused. "Then when I got up angrily to leave she said something like 'she's just jealous because I have Troy!'" She looked down. "And…then I – I just…flipped." She said, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Its okay…" He looked around a bit; making sure no one he knows is around. "I love you, Sharpay…not Gabriella…"
"So…you're going to break up with her?" Sharpay asked, with an eager look on her face.

Troy sighed. "Its not as easy as that and you know it isn't…of course I will break up with her EVENTUALLY, but just…not yet, okay? Give it time…and we'll have to keep this –" He motioned with his hands in the air at them two. "A secret…okay? You understand?"
Sharpay nodded slowly. "Yeah, okay…"

Sharpay's POV.

Sharpay didn't really understand what he was getting at. Why would he be with someone if he didn't love them and he loved someone else?! Maybe he DOES still love her and he's just saying he doesn't…but no, he wouldn't do that! Not Troy, he's not like that…oh, I don't know! All these thoughts were buzzing around in her head, she didn't want to be his little thing on the side, she wanted to be his only thing, his one, his only, I guess she just wanted to be HIS…she wanted to be seen with him, she wanted to let everyone know, that she, Sharpay, finally had someone really special, but not only that, the person she's been madly in love with for the last year, he finally wants her, yet…one thing is stopping them being together. Gabriella. She sighed. I'll just have to wait, wait until he decides he has to hurt her, he HAS to, because…it'll hurt me ten times more if he doesn't do it…if he doesn't break up with her…it cant go on forever like this…he's GOT to break up with her at some point… She nodded, knowing she was right. He couldn't lead her on like that forever, Gabriella would find out sooner or later. She looked over at Troy, she so desperately wanted to grab his hand, feel like a couple, but she knew she couldn't. She hadn't realised that she had sighed out loud.
"What's up?" Troy asked; he obviously heard her sigh.

"Nothing…" She looked up at him, into his eyes. "I just want us to be together – properly. Not like this…" She looked down.

"We will be…I know we will…just not now. Wait a little, okay? It'll turn out perfect for us, you just wait and see." He smiled at her.
She nodded.

Sharpay looked around and realised that they were in the middle of the field, where hardly anyone goes. She looked sideways and saw a little private area in the trees. No one ever went there. She suddenly got a thought and bit her lip, she grabbed hold of Troy's hand and pulled him into the trees. She pushed him up against a tree.
"Sharpay, what are you –'

She cut him off by pushing her lips onto his, he didn't hesitate in kissing her back, he twirled her around so her back was against the tree instead of his. He broke the kiss and placed his lips onto her neck, she let out a soft moan. He trailed kisses all the way down to her collarbone. He unexpectedly picked her up; she wrapped her legs around his waist and he kissed her passionately.
SNAP.

They both heard it, a branch snapping somewhere on the ground, their heads whipped around. Troy put Sharpay down and looked at where the snapping sound came from, he was sure he saw someone's shoe as they quickly went behind a tree, he tilted his head a little to the side.
"Maybe we just best get outta here…" Sharpay suggested, looking up at Troy.
"Yeah, okay." He replied, not bothering to go and look if he did actually see someone, he just thought it was probably no one and he was imagining it. He took one last look behind him then walked out of the trees with Sharpay.
