Chapter 3: Reunion

"We can break promises but memories can break us."

Sharpay woke up at the sound of her alarm clock. She turned it off then slowly got up. She then remembered that today is Saturday, which means today is the day of their reunion. She's very excited to see the gang again but afraid to see the boy who left her six years ago without even explaining why. She don't know if he's going to show up this time after what he did but she secretly wants him to be there, to see him.

She walked downstairs and made her way to the kitchen. She smelled the aroma of the coffee and the delicious pancakes. She saw Ryan eating so she approached him. "Good morning Ry!"

"Good morning Shar! You seem so happy. Are you going later?"

Sharpay smiled. "I guess but only if you'll drive me there!"

"Sure! I'd love to drive my sister so we can both face the danger."

"Haha. Very funny Ryan." Sharpay giggled. She took her seat and started eating her breakfast.

At the East High Gym

The gang except Sharpay and Ryan were already there. They hugged each other and keep telling everyone how much they miss them.

"It's good to see you guys again. I miss you all so much!" Gabriella exclaimed.

They all laugh at Gabriella. They realized that they really miss this girl so much.

"We miss you too girl!" Taylor said then hugged Gabriella so tight.

"Enough girl talk! We're here, remember?" Chad said. Taylor pinched him.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Chad asked his longtime girlfriend.

"Don't start another cat fight here guys! You haven't change!" Troy said.

They were all settled to their seats when they stop talking. All of them were paying attention to the two blonde at the door of the gym.

Ryan and Sharpay Evans entered the gym.

"Seems like nothing changed. They're still the Evans' we know! I mean, the kind and humble one." Kelsi commented.

"Yeah… She got more beautiful." Troy whispered to his self.

"What was that Troy?" Jason and Zeke asked at the same time.

"Nothing. Nothing really."

"Okay."

The Evans twins were approaching them. Ryan smiled at the sight of his old friend. He quickly scanned the gang to find the girl he loves since high school. Sharpay, on the other hand, was so nervous. Her heart beats faster when she spotted that blue eyed boy.

"Ryan! Sharpay! We miss you guys so much!" Gabriella giggled and give them a very big hug.

"We also miss you guys! It's been a long time. Can I excused myself first? I'm really thirsty. Can you show me where the drinks are?" Ryan asked Gabriella.

Gabriella nodded. "Let's go!"

Sharpay smiled at the sight of the two. She knows that Ryan is inlove with Gabriella. She sits down and scanned the whole gym. There were so many foods. Aside from that, nothing has changed. Troy and Chad's jerseys were still hanging there. It doesn't surprise her because she knows that the Wildcats is in the history of East High. The DJ then played a slow music.

"Sharpay, we're going to dance. Do you want to come?" Taylor asked.

"No, I'm okay! Go on, I'll just watch you here."

Taylor smiled. She's glad that nothing has changed, that Sharpay is still kind and humble.

"Okay then. Come on Chad!" Taylor, Chad, Kelsi, Jayson, Martha and Zeke headed to the dance floor.

Sharpay realized that Troy was left there with her. That makes the situation more awkward.

"Hi Troy." Sharpay whispered. She didn't really want to talk to him but her heart says she should.

Troy looked at her. He smiled at her and she smiled back. "Hi Sharpay. How are you?"

"I'm fine, I guess. Busy with work. You?"

"I'm fine too. I'm living my dream."

"What dream?" Sharpay asked.

"I know I owe you an explanation Shar. I'm very sorry to what I did."

"Don't worry, I forgive you already. So what's your dream?" Sharpay is very curious. She's afraid that maybe Troy's dream is having a perfect family with a perfect wife to spend the rest of his life with.

"Okay. Before I tell you what that is, I left because a school in California offered me a scholarship. You know that I'm not as rich as you so I grab the opportunity. I didn't know how to explain that to you because I was so scared to see you hurt. I've run out of goodbyes."

Sharpay wants to cry. She thought Troy left without thinking about her feelings. "I may not understand that back then, but I am sure that I understand that now. That's so sweet of you."

"Thanks for understanding Shar. The dream that I mentioned a while ago is me playing for Lakers. I guess you're not watching sports show on TV huh?"

"Really? Congrats Troy! You know that I don't really like sports!" Sharpay hugged Troy.

"Thank you! Congrats to you too. I've seen your works. You did a great job."

"You've seen some of my works?"

"Yeah. You're famous you know. So… Can we start all over again?" Troy asked.

"No Troy… We can start on the part of being friend!" Sharpay smiled.

Meanwhile

Ryan and Gabriella joined the rest of the gang at the dance floor. They were swaying at the music when they saw Sharpay and Troy talking.

"I guess they already figured things out." Martha said.

"Yeah. I haven't seen Sharpay so happy before. Look at her eyes, they're shining." Gabriella smiled at the two.

"It's obvious they are still inlove with each other." Taylor sighed.

The gang is so happy for Troy and Sharpay. Maybe this is the start of something new.
