Thanks to the reviewers from the last chapter.

I own nothing high school musical-y just the story plot!

An Undying Love

Troy walked into the school alone, well besides the giggling cheerleaders that followed him everywhere.

"Yo, Troy, over here" Chad, troy's afro headed friend called

"Hey guys... anyone seen Ryan?"Troy asks

Gabriella exhales "no, troy but-"

"Oh there he is" troy cuts Gabbi off "I'll see you guys later in homeroom"

Troy runs over to a blond haired boy that is wearing a mint green bowler hat matching pants and a white shirt.

"Hey Ryan, how is Shar?"

"Um she uh is she is fine!" Ryan stuttered as fast as possible

"You sure?" troy questioned in response to roans strange behaviour, he remembered what Sharpay had said when the first started dating.

"Sharpay could you tell mom I'll be late home?" Ryan asked his sister who was walking to her next class holding hands with troy.

"Why, where are you going?" Sharpay asked curiously

"n-no where s-special... just the uh um library" Ryan spits out as he runs off

"He is sooo lying"

"How can you tell?" troy asked giving Sharpay a confused look

"He always stutters when he lies" Sharpay answered giving troy a obvious look.

"Ryan I know you're lying" sighs Troy



"W-what? No I'm not! S-she is um really fine"

"What's wrong with her?" troy asked becoming slightly worried

"N-nothing! In fact she is coming home err-earlier!" answered Ryan remembering the phone call his mother received the night before from the school for pregnant teens Sharpay was staying at, saying that she had gone into hospital to have the baby.

"REALLY? That is awesome...how is your aunt?" troy asked trying to act concerned but he knew he was failing as he was too excited for his girlfriends early homecoming.

"Who?" Ryan thought out loud

"Your aunt in new Zealand, which Sharpay was visiting because she had cancer... how is she? Troy explained

"Oooh that aunt, um yeah she is fine!"Ryan said realising what Troy was talking about. Mr and Mrs Evans, Ryan and obviously Sharpay where the only ones that knew the real reason for Sharpay being in New Zealand, Sharpay's parents had decided it would be best if no one knew about this little 'mishap' as Mrs. Evans like to call it. So they made up the story about the sick relative

"So when does she get back?" asked Troy letting his excitement get the better of him

Ryan just stood there for a second, knowing that he had already said to much, he knew that Troy really loved his sister, after all he had asked how she was every day since she left.

Ryan shrugged and quickly hurried of to homeroom.

"Isn't it lovely to be home?" Mrs. Evans said in a sickly sweet tone.

Sharpay looked down the extremely clean hallway leading off to the stairs. She had lived here for as long as she could remember. Sharpay slowly and silently walked over to the patio doors that lead to the massive back garden and remembered how her dad had taught her and Ryan to ride their bikes one hot summer's day. Sharpay suddenly felt a pang in her heart knowing that she wouldn't be the one to teach her daughter 

how to ride a bike or swim or any of the things her parents taught her to do. Sharpay knew the person she had to blame for all of this. Her mother.

"Go get showered and changed, then you can go for a jog and we will have you looking back to your old self in no time" chirped Sharpay's mother

After hearing this Sharpay burst into tears, pushed past her mother and ran to her bedroom.

"This could be harder than I expected" said Mrs. Evans to herself

Troy sat in biology writing notes about how he was going to surprise Sharpay when she got back home. He figured he wouldn't do too much as it was her birthday in a few weeks and he needed to save his money to get her something that screamed 'wow' as this is Sharpay we are talking about and she wouldn't settle for anything less, but that was just one of the many things troy loved about her

"Now class you should all be following Mr. Bolton's perfect example here, and take notes" Miss Edwards smiled to the class as she placed a hand on Troy's shoulder

Troy sat in silence just thankful that his teacher didn't actually read his notes, because if she did he would totally be in a detention for inappropriate note taking.

The last 15 minutes of class dragged by slowly. Who knew the respiratory system was so useful yet so boring?

Everyone let out a sigh of relief as the lunch bell rang.

"Troy, dude wait up" called Chad as he raced up to the basket ball star of east high "you weren't actually taking notes were you?"

"What? Uh no" said troy not being completely truthful, after all he was making notes of some kind.

Zeke the smallest member of the b-ball team seemed to pop up out of nowhere "he was probably drawing naked pictures of Sharpay"

Chad laughed "oooh icy"



"There is a lot more to her than you think, guys" troy said standing up for his girlfriend

"There is a lot more to her than you think to Bolton" Ryan said silently to himself after overhearing there convocation.
