Chapter 10: They Knew
"Every time I trust someone new, they end up reminding me why I shouldn't trust anyone at all."
"What do you think they talked about last night?" Taylor asked. The gang, except for Sharpay and Troy, were eating breakfast in the dining room. Sharpay and Troy were still sleeping that's why they thought that the two stayed last night to talk about something.
"I don't have any idea. Maybe Troy is helping her to bring back her memories." Chad answered.
"You two are so quiet since we found out Sharpay's incident. Are you hiding something?" Kelsi asked, pointing at Gabriella and Ryan.
The two shook their head and continued eating their foods. The rest of them are looking angrily to the couple. It's obvious they're hiding something.
"WHAT?" Gabriella and Ryan asked.
"Speak. Let us know what you know." Martha angrily said.
Ryan and Gabriella looked at each other. Maybe it's the best time to let them know the truth about Sharpay's condition.
"In one condition." Ryan said. They all nodded and listened closely to what he will say.
" Sharpay does not have amnesia. She's just pretending to get over Troy. She doesn't want to feel the same pain all over again."
They were all shocked. How could Sharpay do it?
"WHAT? Why did she keep this to us? We can keep it as a secret. She can trust us." Taylor said. She's really hurt that Sharpay kept this, knowing that she's not trusting anyone besides Ryan and Gabriella.
"And Gabriella knows too." Kelsi pointed out.
"She did not tell me, Ryan did. She's afraid that you, I mean, all of us would think that she's the Ice Queen once again. The pain she's feeling now is too much for her." Gabriella explained.
"She is right guys. We should respect Sharpay's decision." They all agreed on Taylor. The room fell silent when they saw Troy approaching.
"Good morning! Why are you all staring at me? Is there something wrong?" Troy gave them a weird look.
"You have something on your face." Jayson lied. The room soon filled with laughter. Troy, embarrassed, quickly go to the bathroom.
Troy left early but the rest of the gang stayed in the Evans' house. They decided to talk to Sharpay while watching a movie.
"Shar, the gang knows your real condition." Gabriella said. Sharpay is in her left side.
"WHAT?" Sharpay shouted. All of them stared at her.
"You… you already know?" Sharpay asked. She broke down, crying.
"Yes Shar. But we promise not to tell Troy. We will be always here for you." Taylor hugged Sharpay and wipes the tears in her eyes.
"Taylor's right. You can call us whenever you need a shoulder to cry on." Sharpay smiled at Martha. She started to calmed down and she's also happy to know that they accepted her decision.
"I thought you're all gonna get mad at me. I'm so sorry."
The girls giggled and hugged Sharpay so tight. The guys followed them and hugged the girls. It became a group hug. After a few seconds, they returned to their sits.
"When will you tell Troy?" Ryan asked her sister.
All of them waited for an answer.
"On my birthday, next week. I want to see him suffer."
I'm sorry that this is a very short chapter!
