Disclaimer: Same as the first chapter.
A/N: Thanks to everyone whose been reviewing! I felt a little bad that I haven't updated this one in a while and so decided to make this a double shot. I used the same word, game, for two drabbles - both of which help set up the next one, which is already written. One's Zeke & Sharpay and the other one is Ryan & Kelsi, though the Ryelsi one just barely makes the prompt. These definitely aren't my favorites of all the ones I've done, but I think they're okay. Let me know what you think - reviews are always welcome and appreciated.
Word Count: 100 for both
Game #1
"Don't do it."
"What?" Sharpay asked.
"Whatever you're planning to get back at Ryan and Kelsi," Zeke replied. "I know you're upset, but getting even won't help."
"You're turning on me too?"
"No." Zeke sighed. "I'm trying to help you. Don't you ever get tired of manipulating people? Don't you get tired of all the mind games you play?"
"I can't talk to you about this now!" Sharpay snapped.
"Hit a nerve?" he asked. "Sharpay, you have so much. You're so lucky. So why do you have to control everyone? Life isn't about games and manipulation. Just think about it."
Game #2
"King me." Kelsi looked down at the checkerboard in shock.
"How in the world did you manage that?"
"Ah, you didn't know I had mad checker skills did you?" Ryan grinned. "This was the one game I could always beat Sharpay at when we were growing up." Kelsi watched as the smile slowly faded from his face.
"Have you talked to her yet?" Kelsi asked softly.
"No."
"Are you going to?"
"I don't know," he answered honestly. "I feel like if I do, I'm betraying you. If I don't, I'm hurting her," he sighed. "I don't know what to do."
