Chapter 11: Happy Birthday!
"I just want to be loved for who I am, not because of what I have."
Everybody is so excited for Ryan and Sharpay's birthday. The gang planned a group dinner to celebrate the twins' birthday. Everything is a secret. They want to make Sharpay and Ryan happy because they are such good friends. They deserved to be treated so special on their birthday.
Gabriella arrived at Evans' house. Gabriella was assigned to get Sharpay and Ryan. She rang the doorbell twice. After a few moments, Ryan opened the door.
"Gabby! It's so good to see you." Ryan quickly hugged his girlfriend and let her in the house.
"Happy birthday Ry! It's much more good to see you! Where's Sharpay?" Gabriella gave Ryan a peck on the lips.
"She's upstairs, why?"
"You two are boring! It's your birthday today. It's like a normal day to the two of you! Go dress up. I'm taking the two of you somewhere."
Ryan chuckled. He's very lucky to have Gabriella. "But where?"
"It's a secret. I'll wait here okay? Tell Sharpay to get ready." Ryan nodded and quickly go upstairs, like a 3 year-old boy, excited for his present.
Gabriella giggled at the sight. She made herself comfortable on the couch while waiting for the two.
After an hour, the two finally showed up.
"Finally! What took you so long?" Gabriella impatiently asked.
"Ask Sharpay!" Ryan said.
"Hey, it's our birthday. I need to look beautiful!" Sharpay said. Ryan and Gabriella rolled their eyes.
"Okay, enough talk! Let's go. The dinner should start soon." Gabriella lead the way to her car and started to drive.
The whole ride was not boring. They actually had fun talking about random things. They finally arrived at the restaurant where the gang made a reservation. Gabriella got out of the car and Ryan followed her. They made their way to the restaurant's door but they soon realized that Sharpay didn't follow.
Sharpay is very shocked. She did not expect to return in this restaurant, ever again. She understand why Gabriella probably chose this place, it was her favorite. Nobody knows that this is the place where Troy proposed to Sharpay.
"Shar, what's wrong?" Gabriella asked. She's very worried about Sharpay.
"I'm okay. It's just… I don't like this place."
Ryan began to speak, "I thought this is your favorite?"
Sharpay closed her eyes then started to exhale. 'It's time to let them know what this place means to me'. Sharpay thought.
She opened her eyes and look at Ryan and Gabriella. "This is the place where Troy asked me to marry him."
Ryan and Gabriella were both shocked. Why did Sharpay never told them that?
"I'm so sorry Sharpay. We thought you will be happy if we surprised the both of you here. I'm really sorry."
Sharpay smiled, 'So this was supposed to be a surprise?'. Sharpay asked herself.
"It's a surprise?" Ryan asked. Gabriella just nodded.
"Well then, let's go! It's not big deal anymore."
I know, short chapter again! Forgive me. But 2 chapters in a day isn't bad! The next chapter will be the time when Troy will have an amnesia!
