Sharpay was looking out the window trying to play it cool and not act like she was on cloud nine. "Well you knew my favorite flowers and the card was sweet but forgive me if I'm a little hesitant to just dive right into all of this" she said finally looking over at him. She was under no delusion that this wouldn't last and by the end of the day he would be back with Gabriella, she was keeping her guard up as hard as it was to do with Troy. "I mean what is going to happen when we pull into the parking lot at school?" She said messing with the radio she hated driving in silence, soon the song Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince by Taylor Swift was coming through the speakers, she was obsessed with this song at the moment.
Troy was about to start talking when he got distracted listening to the song playing in his car. One thing he knew about Sharpay is that she expressed how she was feeling through music. "Its been a long time coming but its you me and that's my whole world they whisper in the hallway she's a bad bad girl" the blonde sang to herself. This song summed up her and Troy perfectly it was like it was written for them. Troy snapped back into reality when she asked him again what was going to happen at school. "Sorry, this song is just very us" he said pulling up to East High and parking the car. He turned down the music and turned to face the girl who was all he ever wanted.
"We are going to get out of this car, I'm going to take your hand and we are going to walk into that school together, the way it should have been every morning since freshman year" he said his voice shaking a bit because he was so nervous. Ryan was crouched by the truck with Chad, Taylor, and Kelsie trying to listen to their conversation and not get caught.
Gabriella's mom had just dropped her off after she waited an hour at her house for Troy to pick her up like he did every morning but he never showed. He still hadn't answered any of her texts or calls and after seeing that he sent Sharpay flowers for the first time in a while she was worried she had made the biggest mistake of her life.
"Troy you know I have waited so long to hear you say that but how can I trust you?" She said he big brown eyes tearing up a bit. "I don't want to end up looking like an idiot and have my heart broken by you again" she added biting her lip. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a bright blue shirt and what looked like another boy and girl "Chad move over I can't hear anything" she heard Taylor whisper. She stifled a laugh not wanting anything to interrupt this moment.
"Chad I know you are listening you aren't exactly sneaky with that hair" Troy said rolling down the window and looking at their group of friends hiding next to the car. The group popped up and tried to act like this was totally normal. "We will meet you inside" he said before rolling the window back up. Ryan locked eyes with Troy and mouthed "Don't fuck this up".
"I'm going to be honest, you have no reason to trust me, but you can't deny that this morning hasn't felt right, like we hadn't done this a hundred times before" he said taking her hand. "All I can do is prove to you that this is for real and you can trust me" When his hand touched hers it was electric, it was like nothing she had ever felt before.
"If we do this Bolton we are taking this slow, we are not just rushing into everything and then have it blow up in my face" she said a small smile on her face even though she was trying to play it cool and not show that she was so happy she could literally burst. "We can take it as slow as you want Pay" he said not believing she was actually going to give him a chance. "Just knowing that we get this chance is enough for me" he added pulling her closer. "Troy Sharpay, Sharpay Troy, it just makes sense" he whispered kissing the top of her head. She could feel his heart beating a thousand miles a minute against his chest giggling when he spoke, she couldn't believe he remembered that. She was about to say something when her phone buzzed it was Ryan asking for all of the details. "We better go inside we have an eager audience waiting for us" she said with a laugh.
Troy hopped out of the car and ran over to her side and opened the door for her and took her hand holding onto it tightly. "Lets do this" she said as they walked through the doors of East High where everyone had stopped once they saw the pair together. They were almost to her locker when Troy stopped her "I was going to wait until our first date to do this but fuck it" he said pulling her in for a kiss. Their group of friends erupted into applause surrounding the couple. Sharpay didn't want the kiss to end but she knew if they kept going they would probably get suspended.
At the end of the hallway by Troy's locker stood Gabriella trying to comprehend what she had just witnessed. It was like she never existed to any of them, she wanted to cry she wanted to scream but all she could do was stand there until she composed herself.
Taylor noticed Gabriella at Troy's locker and turned to the group "As much as I hate to break up this love fest you may have a problem" she said darting her eyes in Gabriella's direction. "Oh fuck I forgot about this fun little detail for a moment" Sharpay said narrowing her eyes. She knew Gabriella wouldn't go down without a fight and would do whatever she could to get Troy back. Troy could see the wheels turning in Sharpay's head and knew that this could turn ugly fast. "Hey" he said pulling her focus "It's you and me that's my whole world" he said referencing what he decided was one of their songs. "We aren't going to let her ruin this"
Sharpay took a deep breath "Just know I won't just sit by and let her try and pull her usual shit Troy" she said noticing the brunette walking towards them. She knew what she wanted to do which was slap the shit out of the other girl but she had Troy and she didn't want their relationship to start off like this. Sharpay closed her locker and grabbed Troy's hand as they walked towards their homeroom, towards a very angry Gabriella who wasn't going to be ignored.
