"So... do you know where lover boy's taking you?" Shar came up to me.
I was at my locker, getting some books for the next period, which was science. I had it with Shar, she was waiting for me, leaning against the locker next to me, looking towards my direction, curious. She was wondering if Troy had told me when will this so called 'date' be. She has been bugging me in every period we were both in, or any time she saw me in the halls. It was pretty creepy.
"Nope." I simply said, still getting some things out of my locker to be put in my bag.
"Have you seen him anywhere near you?" Shar asked, out of curiosity.
"Nope." I gave her the same answer.
"Your happy about this aren't you?" Shar asked, raising her eyebrow at me.
I shrugged, ignoring her question.
"Anyways... you gonna audition for the musical?" Shar asked, changing topic.
"When is it?" I asked her.
"Today... right now actually." She said, realizing that the auditions were happening right now.
Closing my locker door, I leaned against it, getting my eye on Shar as she widen her eyes in terror, thinking she'll be missing the auditions. i just looked at her confused.
"We still have time Shar." I reminded.
She grabbed my wrist, dragging me along the halls, where students were getting out of class, going to their lockers. She ran as fast as she could to what appears to be the direction of the auditorium, where the auditions will be held. As we reached there, Shar was out of breath, still holding my wrist.
"We made it." Shar said, gaining her breath back.
I giggled at her.
"Ah... I see you all are here for the auditions, well... each of you will be singing a part of the song that was given with our composer, Kelsi Neilson." Ms. Darbus said, onstage with a short, petite brunett haired girl, holding some music sheets.
"Now..." Ms. Darbus continued, looking towards the sign up sheet.
Everyone was already called up and soon it was Shar's turn to go up and audition. Which I'm sure she'll nail.
"Good luck." I mouthed to her as she was on stage.
She nodded towards my direction.
As the song started playing along the background, I could feel someone getting closer to me, just entering the auditorium. Someone sat next to me, where Shar was suppose to be sitting, or was. I looked to the seat next to me, wondering who was sat next to me.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" I whispered strictly.
It was Troy.
Just my luck.
"It a free country." He defend himself.
I sighed, leaning back against my chair, just concentrating on Shar who was singing on stage.
Don't speak, I can't believe this is here happening
Our situation isn't right
Get real, who you playing with
I never thought he'd be like this
You were supposed to be there by my side
When you say that you want me
I just don't believe it
You're always ready to give up
and never turn around
"You're not auditioning?" Troy asked as I watched Shar singing.
"No." I said briefly.
But what if I need you baby
Would you even try to save me
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true
What if I said I loved you
Would you be the one to run to
Or would you watch me walk away without a fight
I'm so sick of worrying that ya
gonna quit over anything
I could trip and you'd let go like that
And everything that we ever were
seems to fade but not the hurt
'Cause you don't know the good things from the bad
When I say that I want you
You know that I mean it
And in my hour of weakness
There's still time to try
"But you're really good..." He continued on.
I was confused at him.
"Eh?"
"I heard you in Shar's house the other day." He clarify.
"How do you even know if that was my voice?" I reasoned.
But what if I need you baby
Would you even try to save me
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true
What if I said I loved you
Would you be the one to run to
Or would you watch me walk away without a fight
"Cuz, its not her mom, and I would know if its not Shar's voice." He replied.
"Dammit." I cursed under my breath.
He chuckled at me.
Every time I speak you try and stop me
'Cause every little thing I say is wrong
You say you're noticing but you never see
This is who I really am that you can believe
Makes me wanna know right now
Is it me you'll live without
Or would you change your mind
But what if I need you
But what if I need you baby
Would you even try to save me
Or would you find some lame excuse to never be true
What if I said I loved you
Would you be the one to run to
Or would you watch me walk away without a fight
Oh baby, what if I need you
What if I need you
What if I need you
The song ended and everyone cheered along with Ms. Darbus.
"Marvelous!" Ms. Darbus cheered.
Shar took a bow, heading down the stage onto my direction.
All the others have already auditioned, after Sharpay.
Just as me and Shar was about to get out, with Troy apparently behind us, following me going to the exit, someone called out me out.
" ."
I turned around, spotting Ms. Darbus, calling me. She motion with her hand, for me to come over.
Shar followed me, wanting to know whats wrong.
"And you too Mr. Bolton." She called out just as Troy was about to open the door out.
"Am I in trouble?" I asked feeling unsure.
"Nonsense." She replied, as Troy stood next to me.
"Why are you both here?" She asked again, fixing her glasses.
I pointed to wards Sharpay, who was next to me.
"Didn't you know? All who wants to audition go to the auditorium, not just for watching." She made it clear.
"Sing." She continued.
"Huh?" I said out of confusion.
"Audition for the musicale." She made it clear.
"But..." I couldn't think of something, anything.
Out of the background, I could hear Troy chuckling, and I'm guessing Ms. Darbus could hear it too, apparently.
"Both of you." She said, glaring at Troy aswell.
"What?!" He protested.
"But.. we don't have time." I reasoned with her.
"Then do a duet." She gave a solution.
DAMN!
I groaned, Troy did the same.
Lets just get this over with.
