Okay, seriously, I rewrote this chapter over about five times. And I still don't like it. LOL ;] It's extremely suckish, I'm warning you. Read at your own risk :O

Disclaimer: Oh, how I hate writing the disclaimer ;D Gah, you guys know what I usually write here. Just imagine that it's here.

"Ryan! How could you?!," Sharpay demanded as she swung his bedroom door open.

"What did I do?" he asked, nervously.

"You ruined everything! You told Troy about mine & Gypsyella's plan to pretend to be friends! Which wouldn't have been so bad, if she hadn't kissed him! And then he said he liked her, which I still don't understand. It's like my entire world is falling apart and it's all your fault!" It wasn't really all his fault, but Sharpay was upset, she just felt like yelling at someone.

"Gabriella kissed Troy?," he asked, ignoring everything else she had said.

"Yes! Have you not been listening?! God, I swear, you are no help at all!," she finished before storming out of his room.

Sharpay was relieved that Troy knew about how she and Gabriella weren't really friends. Pretending to be friends with her would be really hard after witnessing her kiss Troy. Just thinking of it, made her shudder.

"Hello Sharpay," Gabriella said, walking up to Sharpay's locker, seeming more smiley than usual. Sharpay figured she was still on a high from kissing Troy, a couple of days ago.

"Bite me," Sharpay seethed.

"C'mon, don't be like that. What if Troy walks by or something? We have to pretend we're friends, remember?," Gabriella hissed.

"Newsflash, Montez. Troy already knows we were lying."

Gabriella frowned. "You told him?"

"No. Ryan did. And thank god, because I can't be friends with a bitch who broke my heart and kissed my Trojan."

"As if, he even likes you," she scoffed.

"Actually, he does. He told me," Sharpay said, leaving out the part about him liking Gabriella, also.

Gabriella blinked. "When did he tell you that?"

"Right after you left on Saturday. Yeah, apparently, he didn't enjoy that kiss of death very much."

"I don't believe you," she lied. Gabriella actually didn't find the idea Troy liking Sharpay very unlikely. She had always suspected that he did, but she'd never admit it.

"Well, it's the truth. So, I suggest you find some other guy," Sharpay said.

"Yeah," Gabriella murmured.

--

Gabriella did what Sharpay told her to do. She found another guy. Now, she was gonna go rub in her face. Well, not exactly, but still…

"Hey Sharpay," Gabriella said, walking up to her locker.

Sharpay looked at her, annoyed. "Gosh, Montez. I already told you. The 'friend' thing is off. You can stop pretending you like me, now."

"That's not what I wanted. I have good news," Gabriella said.

Sharpay stared at her, blankly. "Good news for you? Or good news for me?"

"Both of us."

"I don't see how that's possible, but okay whatever."

"Remember, how you told me Troy said he liked you? Well, when he told you that, he didn't mention that he liked me, did he?," she asked.

"No…" she lied.

"Right. That's what I thought. So, I've been thinking, and you were right. It's stupid to be chasing after Troy when he doesn't like me. You know."

"Uh huh." Except, he does like you, Gabriella! I've been lying!, said the voice in the back of Sharpay's mind.

"And I've been talking to this other guy and I like him. And he asked me out." Gabriella continued.

"You got a boyfriend, already? God, it's only been like two days."

Gabriella glared at Sharpay. "I've been knowing him for longer than that. It's just that I've always been so hung up on Troy, that I never realized that I liked him."

"Right. Whatever. So, who's your guy?"

"Jason Cross."

"Ew," was Sharpay's response.

"What's wrong with him?" she frowned.

Sharpay raised an eyebrow. "You mean, besides his helmet hair?"

"Does it really matter what his hair looks like?"

"So, you admit it? You don't like his hair." Gabriella gave her a weird look. "Fine, I'll stop. But seriously. Would it kill him to use some conditioner?"

"Sharpay, do you want to hear the good news or not?"

"I thought that was the good news. Only I don't what's so good about it, considering--"

"If you're about to make another rude comment about Jason's hair, I suggest you stop talking."

"I wasn't gonna say anything…"

"Right. So about you're good news. Since I'm with Jason, now, you can be with Troy."

So, Jason and Gabriella? What would the couple name for them be? Jasella? Blah, I don't know. Sorry for not ever mentioning Jason in the story before this. I didn't know beforehand that I was gonna write him in. Plus, Jason irks me. I don't know why, but he really bugs me in the HSM movies. Maybe it's because of his helmet hair. ;D

And was Troy in this chapter? At all? I don't think he was! How could I write a chapter, without my little Trojie?! ;] (Gah, I'm starting to sound like Sharpay.)

And I apologize for how terrible this chapter was. Next chapter will be better, I promise.
