Chapter ten

(Previously on Wanna Be With You)

"Troy, wait-" he stopped, turning back to her, curiosity suddenly written across his face, "I uh, was wondering if we could…talk…. about what happened?"

(Now on Wanna Be With You)

Troy looked hesitant, "I, uh…okay," he finally said and moved further into Sharpay's room.

Sharpay backed up and closed the door, giving them more privacy. She didn't want anyone coming in here and ruining this moment. This moment where she would finally discover why Troy did what he did and where they stood, and would they became anything more? Sharpay certainly hoped so.

Troy cleared his throat, feeling immensely awkward. He had no idea what to say, it was as if his mind had suddenly turned off on him. Great, just great.

"So, how, are…you?" Troy winced when his voice cracked when he said 'are'. Smooth Bolton, real smooth. Why did you have to go and start the conversation like that? Troy honestly felt like hitting himself in the head right now. He was such an idiot sometimes.

Sharpay was momentarily confused. What a way to start a conversation. Shouldn't he know how she was feeling right now? Hello! She was extremely frustrated!

"...Good. How are you?" Might as well ask back. But seriously, couldn't they just get right to the point? Sharpay wanted answers. She was anxiously excited and yet dreadful at the same time. She didn't know how this would end up.

"I'm good," Troy said, rubbing the back of his neck. Couldn't they honestly just get to the point? Troy wanted to be anywhere but here. This was so awkward! It was almost as if they had just met!

Silence was now interfering. Neither of them knew what to say or do. It was almost like they were on some kind of game show or soap opera and everyone was waiting for something enormous to happen.

"So uh, how's drama?" Sharpay raised her eyebrow. Drama? It was freaking summer! She hadn't done much that had to do with drama! Sing, that was it.

"Good...how's basketball?"

"Good..." Troy said, lying through his teeth. It has been pretty much lame actually. Especially with it being summer and he being out of school. Out of school meant more time for basketball, at least that was his dad's philosophy. Troy liked basketball, just not enough to the point where he could do it 24/7. He had to get some kind of break between that, otherwise he'd go insane.

Sharpay, feeling tired of standing, sat down on her bed.

Troy began to wonder if she even wanted to be with him in the first place. And if so, was he ready to move on that quickly? Couldthey actually be something? Like a couple? Now thatwould be something. It wasn't too long ago when Troy didn't want anything to do with Sharpay and now he had some sort of feelings for her? That was just crazy in itself.

What was wrong with him?

"Okay Troy, I don't mean to rush this, but...why did you kiss me? " Sharpay broke the ice. She couldn't take the silence any long. Troy appeared taken aback and Sharpay couldn't blame him. She did just jump right out there and say that.

He pulled on the collar to the blue polo that he was wearing, feeling a bit hot and somewhat nervous. How the heck do you respond to something like that?

"I- I don't know...honestly..."

Sharpay couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had been waiting all of this time, to get that? Was he serious or was he pulling her leg? She really wanted to know.

"What do you mean you don't know?" She asked.

Troy, however, looked away, not wanting her to see his vulnerability. He wasn't sure how to get his feelings into words. He didn't want to make a fool out of himself. He ran a hand through his hair and suddenly started to pace, trying to form his thoughts into words.

"Well, uh...Sharpay see..." Troy wanted to scream in frustration. He hated being in awkward conversations and this was by far one of the most awkward ones he's ever had!

"What?" Sharpay asked, wanting to get to the bottom of this. She stood up; which caused Troy to stop and look at her, ringing his hands together, feelings overpowering him to the point where he couldn't control them anymore.

"I, Sharpay, I'm not sure why I did that okay? I guess I was just acting on what I how I was feeling and I didn't think about it before I did it...I'm sorry, okay?"

"And how were you feeling Troy?" She subconsciously moved closer to him and found herself lost into his gaze again, waiting, anticipating for his answer.

Troy also couldn't tear his eye away from hers. He drew himself forward as well, and Sharpay noticed. She raised her eyebrow, silently asking what he was doing. He answered, by saying this:

"I was feeling," he took a deep breath, now not believing that he was actually going to do this, "I was feeling this, Sharpay," and with that, his lips were on hers.

Gabriella lay on her bed, looking at Aaron, as he slept. She had gone over the plan, and knew it had to work. It just hadto. Aaron was leaving tomorrow, so that meant she didn't have to deal with him anymore. The plan was going to happen right when he left.

Gabriella smirked. Yes this was going to work out perfectly. That was for sure.

This plan was flawless, brilliant.

If Gabriella did say so herself.

"Uh, wow," Sharpay said, their foreheads touching, beads of sweat running down their faces.

"Yeah…" Their breathing was heavy; as if they had both ran a marathon.

"So…what does this mean Troy?" Sharpay asked, hope and dread filling her mind. She wanted this to happen so badly, but would it? Was all of this a lie? A joke? Sharpay hoped that it wasn't. She wanted this to be real, instead of her fantasy. She wanted someone to truly care for her and be there for her. She wanted, Troy. And he was standing, right in front of her, just an inch a part.

"I guess this means…we're together?" Troy questioned, worry suddenly in his eyes.

Sharpay smiled, seeing the look, "Of course we are. "
