Sharpay & Ryan's House

Sharpay arrived home a few hours later, (aka 8:45 pm), after spending her day with Zeke. After chilling at Wiley's cafe, and getting her first kiss from him there too, they spent most of their day on the beach and watched the sunset at the pier. She walked through the foyer into the kitchen, noticing Ryan in there, making himself a sandwich. He overheard her coming through the doorway and said, "Well, you're home early,"

"Am I not home early all the time?" Sharpay asked in all smiles.

Ryan looked up from his sandwich and saw the look on his sister's face, knowing something must have happened today.

"What are you all smiles about? Troy finally asked you out?" Ryan joked.

"No..Zeke did. We hung out all day and it was amazing!" Sharpay said, sighing as she thought of her cute hubby that was Zeke Baylor.

"Wait...what? What happened to Troy?" Ryan asked as he put his butter knife in the sink.

"Well...I don't know. Ever since he started hanging out with Gabriella, I just forgot about him and boom..there's Zeke," Sharpay replied, knowing she never thought about Troy until now.

"So, the question is now: are you over Troy?" Ry asked again, sitting next to his younger sister.

"I am. I've rid myself of Troy and I really like Zeke...a lot," Sharpay said, smiling at him.

But the only thing was that both of them knew that she was lying. Deep, deep down in them, they knew that she still had feelings for Troy that would never go away.

The Day of San Diego Trip

Zeke's House

Zeke comes out of his closet with more clothes to put into his suitcase. Today was the day that the junior class goes down to San Diego for the weekend and they were supposed to be leaving in a few hours. As he continue to finish his packing, a knock on his door distracts him.

Zeke turns around and smiles, "Troy, what's up?"

"Ah, not much. You ready to go yet?" Troy asks as they do their handshake before he sits on Zeke's desk chair.

"Almost, I just gotta get some things out of my bathroom," Zeke tells him as he heads there, "also, I have news of me and Sharpay,"

"Please tell me you guys are planning on eloping so I won't have to worry about her anymore," Troy joked, leaning back in the chair.

"Not just yet. I think we might start going out after this trip," Zeke smiled.

"No way, seriously?" Troy asked, looking at him. Zeke nodded and Troy gave an joyful outburst, "YES! Oh, thank you Zeke!"

"No problem. I knew she had to fall for the Zeke charm," Zeke said, coming out of the bathroom.

"Finally. Now I'm free from her now," Troy smiled.

"So without her breathing down your neck, what are you gonna do now...about Gabriella?" Zeke asked, nudging Troy.

"Ah, stop. I like her but we're not together. Besides, she wasn't going on the trip this weekend anyways," Troy replied in a semi-depressed mode.

"Really? There has to be a good reason why she can't go," Zeke said, as he zipped up his suitcase.

"Yeah, there is. Her mom's getting remarried this weekend and she has to be there for the wedding," Troy explained.

"Aww poor Gabi. So now, no Sharpay, no Gabi, what are you going to do this weekend? Hook up with someone?" Zeke asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but the San Diego is about having fun. So that's my plan," Troy said, softly smiling.

"Nice! Now let's go or Chad will have a fit if we run into traffic," Zeke replied as Troy agreed. They got each of Zeke's suitcases and took them down to Troy's SUV. Once they loaded it in, they got in the truck and headed to Chad's.

Kelsi's House

"OMG, Kelsi are you ready yet?" Sharpay yelled from the front door. Kyndra, Cami, and herself were putting their stuff into the rental truck that Kyndra brought down from LA and they were waiting on Kelsi to get her stuff down.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" Kelsi said from inside. Sharpay sighed as she went back to the truck and leaned against the door, trying not to ruin her Hollister plaid skirt.

"Don't worry, Shar. Kelsi said that she was coming," Kyndra told Sharpay, coming beside her.

"It's not that. I'm just...remember what we talked about at your house 2 days ago?" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah, about you, Troy and Zeke," Kyndra nodded.

"Yeah, well I really like Zeke and I might get together with him over the trip," Sharpay said.

"Well, that's good isn't it?" Kyndra asked.

"Sure, it's fantastic but I..." Sharpay stated before she got interrupted by Kelsi.

"Ok, I finally got my bags down. Let's get them in the car and head out to San Diego!" Kelsi smiled, rolling her bags to the car.

"Finally! I was wondering how you were going to get the bags down with your small self," Cami said, getting out of the truck, not letting Sharpay and Kyndra on that she had listened to their conversation.

"Well, if you guys could have helped, then we would have already been gone," Kelsi smirked at the girls.

"You said that you had them," Sharpay shrugged. Just then, a phone rang out and all the girls reached to find their cellulars.

"It's mine," Sharpay said, "and it's Jason,"

"Why didn't he call me?" Kelsi wondered to herself, but she pushed it aside as she tried, along with Kyndra and Cami, to get her bags into the truck.

"What's up, J?" Shar asked.

"Where are you guys? We're already on the highway," Jason asked.

"What? Whose 'we'?" Sharpay asked, hoping that he didn't mean everyone else.

"Like 'everyone on carpool patrol' we. You guys are seriously gonna be left behind if you don't hurry up," Jason pointed out.

"Ok ok, where are you coming towards?" Shar said frantically.

"We're coming up on your exit in a few minutes. We need to see you guys' car pull out of there when we pass by," Jason stated before hanging up.

Sharpay groaned and walked back to her gang just as they closed the trunk door. "Ok, everything's in," Kyndra stated.

"Great, now we just have to catch up with everyone else!!" Sharpay exclaimed as she got into the truck, "everyone's already on the highway and we need to get in line before they leave us,"

No one needed a second notice to know what they needed to know. They got into the truck and immediately drove off to meet up with everyone else.
