I was thinking, after I finish this story; I want to write a with someone :D So…anyone want to write a story with me? Please :] It could be fun, yes?

By the way, sorry, if this chapter is lame-ish; I, myself, am not totally satisfied with how it came out.

Disclaimer: If I owned High School Musical, Sharpay would've gotten her song with Troy. But since she didn't, I guess, I don't own it.

"So, that's your idea? Pretending to be friends with Gabriella?"

"Well, actually it was her idea.," she admitted. "But it's a pretty good idea, right?"

"Uh, no.," Ryan said, flatly.

"Psh, what do you know?" She scoffed.

"I know, that it's a bad idea."

Sharpay shook her head. "No, it's not."

"Okay, first of all, you do realize you're defending Gabriella's idea, right? I mean, it may just be me. But I don't know, that seems a little weird coming from you.," Ryan said. "And second, doesn't it make you feel guilty? You know, lying to Troy?"

"I'm not lying to him," she said, even though she knew she was.

"And what happened to that whole you & Troy getting married thing?"

"Oh, don't worry. That's still gonna happen.," she said, confidently. "I'll get rid of Gabriella, before then."

"Right… does he even know you like him, yet?"

"You were supposed to tell him, remember?," she reminded him.

Ryan rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Just tell him, before Gabriella does."

Sharpay's eyes widened. "Gabriella likes Troy?"

"Of course, she does. Gosh, where have you been?! Why do you think she hates you?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. I never really thought about it."

Troy, Sharpay, and Gabriella were sitting in Troy's living room, watching TV. Troy was sitting in the middle, to avoid an argument over who got to sit next to him.

"Isn't this awesome? The three of us? Hanging out?" Troy asked his two best friends, enthusiastically.

"Yeah, it's great," Gabriella lied. Sure, hanging out with Troy was great, but Sharpay could take a hike.

"And to think, you guys didn't even like each other..," Troy continued.

"Yeah, I know. It's crazy." Gabriella nodded. "Right, Sharpay?"

"Uh huh, sure.," Sharpay replied, nervously, feeling guilty about lying.

"Are you okay, Shar?," Troy asked, noticing how uncomfortable she seemed.

"Uh, no actually-," Sharpay started. Gabriella cut her off, when she realized she was about to try to tell Troy the truth.

"Sharpay is okay, she's just tired. She was up late last night.," Gabriella lied, quickly.

Troy raised an eyebrow at her. "Why are you answering for her?"

"Because she's tired.," she repeated.

Troy blinked at her. "Right…" He looked over at Sharpay. "Are you alright?"

Sharpay nodded, but didn't say anything. She knew if she opened her mouth, she would've blabbed to Troy about how she and Gabriella were lying to him. Her conscience was killing her.

"See, Troy? She's fine.," Gabriella said.

"Yeah, I guess…" he said, unsure, looking over at Sharpay, who was still looking uncomfortable in her spot on the couch.

"Don't worry about her.," she said, putting her hand on his knee.

His eyes flash to her hand, back to her face, then back to her hand. "What are you doing?," he asked, giving her a weird look.

Then, it happened. Gabriella pressed her lips against Troy's.

Sharpay's jaw dropped. What the hell?

--

It had been three hours, since Gabriella left. Three hours, since Troy had went in to a state of shock. Three hours, since Sharpay started hyperventilating over the fact that Gabriella had kissed her Trojan.

Her Trojan. Not Gabriella's. Although, Gabriella obviously didn't understand that.

Sharpay looked over at Troy, who hadn't spoken since Gabriella…well, you know. Since she did what she did. Sharpay couldn't tell, if Troy had enjoyed it or not. She, of course, hoped that he hadn't. But since he wasn't talking, there was no way she could know.

There was silence between them, except the sound of the television, in which Troy was staring at.

Sharpay decided to break the silence, that had been going on for three hours. "Troy, do you like Gabriella? Like, really like her?"

"Yeah.," he answered, not looking away from the TV.

"Oh," she said, trying not to sound as heartbroken as she really was. "Do you like me?," she asked, hopefully.

"Yeah.," he answered, once again. Sharpay struggled contain her excitement at his answer; her excitement was subsided when she remembered that he also said that he liked Gabriella.

"Well, which one of us do you like more?", she wanted to know

Troy shrugged. "I don't know," he admitted.

So not, the answer Sharpay was hoping for. "Okay…so, what are you going to do?"

"About what?," he asked, confused.

"About me & Gabriella.," she said. Troy looked at her, still confused, as if she was speaking German or something. "I mean, you can't date both of us."

"Who said I was dating anyone?"

"Well, you just said you liked me…"

"And Gabriella," he reminded her.

"Yeah, her.," she silently scoffed. "And she likes you too. So, you could like ask her out. Or you could ask me out? I mean, you know, if you wanted to. No pressure. Although, if you did, I totally wouldn't mind. Going out with you, I mean."

"I'm not dating either of you," he said, quickly.

"Why not?" She was half-depressed, because Troy wouldn't go out with her. Because also happy, that he wouldn't date Gabriella, either.

"Too much drama. For example, if me and Brie started dating, you'd be mad, right?"

"No." That was a lie. "I'd be happy for you guys." That was an even bigger lie.

"Come on, Shar. You don't mean that."

"Yeah, I do." That's lie number 3.

"Stop lying."

"What makes you think I'm lying?," she asked, sounding offended, even though she knew she was lying.

"Because you don't like Gabriella."

"Yes, I do." Another lie. "We're friends now, Troy."

"I know you guys were faking." Sharpay looked at him, horrified. How did he figure it out? "Ryan told me."

"Note to self: Kill Ryan.," she mumbled to herself.

OMG, Gabriella kissed Troy! Psh, yuck. He's gonna get herpes ;D Ha-Ha. I kid, I kid.

I was gonna end the chapter, right after the kiss, and make it a cliffhanger. But I changed my mind ;]

Oh & HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
