Sharpay Evans
1. She loved being the more popular twin and had never felt guilty about it. It had never occurred to her that maybe her twin felt unimportant in the limelight.
2. She had not liked Kelsi Nielson at first. After all, it was obvious that the girl had a crush on her brother and her brother was spending more and more time with Kelsi, writing music and everything. Sharpay made it her goal to make Kelsi miserable in hopes of scaring the musician away from her brother.
3. She hated Gabriella Montez the moment the brunette started hanging out with Troy. After all, Troy was supposed to be with her, not Geeky Gabi. Her hatred for Gabriella developed when Gabriella tried out for the musicale with Troy and ended up making Sharpay go to her first ever call back.
4. She felt like a genius after contorting her plan to make sure that Troyella never made it to the musicals. She also, however, saw that Ryan was reluctant of her plans. He might have said that he was proud but Sharpay knew that was just a spur of the moment kind of thing. She also saw Kelsi's glares and dirty looks at Ryan and actually felt a little guilty.
5. Losing to Gabriella was downright humiliating. Gabriella had gotten the part in the musical, gotten the boy and the whole school loved her. Something that Sharpay had been trying to do since day one. It was then that Sharpay realized that she was jealous of Gabriella and she vowed that one day, she would take back everything Gabriella had ever taken from her.
And a year later, when Gabriella confronted her about ruining her friends' summer and hers, left the country club before reappearing again on the talent show, Sharpay had hated her guts even more.
After high school though, she had been so surprised when the two of them shared a closer bond. She knew, however, that Chad had hated the idea of her being in the gang at first and had never felt happier when he finally accepted her.
6. Zeke Baylor was the most annoying cool basketball guy she had ever met but damn, he made the greatest cookies! And for a long time, after she had made it known that his cookies were the best, she found different kinds of cookies every week. She would smile though and for anyone who would have been walking by, they would have had a heart attack upon seeing a tender smile on Sharpay's face.
7. She had started liking Zeke after he had accepted her into the gang without a doubt about her while the others were still skeptical. She still wanted the lead role to the musical though, and for that, Gabriella had to be gone. She knew that Zeke and her brother knew about her dirty plan and had not felt guilty about it. After all, it was strategic survival.
Surprisingly, it wasn't Ryan who had made her come to her senses though. Unsurprisingly, it was Zeke. He had confronted her a day before the musical and had shouted at her for breaking Troy and Gabriella up yet again. What had he done that wasn't enough for her? He had been the first to accept her into the gang, the only one who would've gone to prom when she had just assumed he would and she still felt the need to be with Troy. She had explained to him that it was not about Troy, that it was about her being in the musical. He had glared at her before storming out of the room.
Not, however, before saying, "It's not about Troy and it's not about Gabriella. It's about you, Sharpay, and it always have been. I thought you've changed but I was wrong. You are still the selfish jerk who thinks you have to have everything
8. She had felt so betrayed when Tiara Gold turned out to be such a little bitch. Not as betrayed as she had felt when Ryan left her for the Wildcats but still betrayed. She had also been disgusted by the wannabe Troy. It was as she stole her own spotlight back from Tiara did she realize that Zeke was right, it had always been about her and her selfish needs. If she had made the effort to get to know her cast mates and the gang like Ryan had, she wouldn't have needed Tiara.
9. She was ecstatic that Zeke and her remained friends through college and started dating in the last year of their education lives. A long-distance relationship was complicated, especially with the added stress of being in the final year of college. But they had pulled through to her pleasant surprise.
10. She had been disappointed when Kelsi and Ryan decided to get married. Kelsi was not good enough for her brother. She was timid and unconfident and definitely not pretty enough. She even had a row about it with her brother. It was Zeke who had comforted her and told her that Ryan deserved to be happy with the one he loved. And it was Kelsi whom Ryan had fallen for, Kelsi who had seen Ryan for who he was before Sharpay did and Kelsi who had always made Ryan happy. Sharpay had then apologized and welcomed Kelsi into the family.
It was on that day did she realize that Zeke was the one and only for her. He had liked her when no one else did and had understood her. He had never given up on her and when she proposed to him right then and there she was as horrified as she was excited. Zeke had frozen on the spot at first but he had then laughed and spun her around. Yes, he said, always.
And a year later, when their beautiful baby girl was born, Sharpay was determined to make her more like her Zeke or Gabriella, the two people who had changed her life for the better.
