Chad and the boys helped Troy up.

'Wow that girl really has a lot of fire in her.' Zeke breathed as they pulled Troy up. Troy's face now bore the mark of a large slap.

'I'm gonna head home guys. See ya tomorrow.' he mumbled and he stuffed his hands in his pockets and began to walk home.

When he entered the house, he bumped straight into his mother.

'Why hello dear-- Oh my! What happened to your face!'

'Sharpay slapped me, 3 times I think.' he mumbled.

'Well, you must have said somthing to make her that angry or upset. Shar's not like that. Especially when you were dating her. Your father always holds such a high opinion of her. You know, he told me the other night that Ryan and Sharpay are sometimes in the gym with him, playing basket ball. I never knew that she was a national girls champion.'

Troy's mouth fell open. 'Mum! Sharpay just hit me! How can you praise her!'

'Darling, she's a girl! You obviously provoked her and hurt her pride so she slapped you. It's perfectly normal dear. When I was pregnant with you, I slapped your father so many times I can't recall how many times.' Lisa Bolton laughed. 'Oh come here, just put some ice on it and it will be fine.' Then she walked off to put the laundry in the washing machine.

Troy entered school on Monday morning and there were gasps.

'What happened to his face?'

'I heard that Sharpay hit him!'

'Poor Troy.'

'What a bitch.'

Troy rolled his eyes and walked to his locker, which was unfortunately by his ex girlfriend's. He froze as she stood there in a pink dress top and white skinny jeans with a gold mini blazer and white pumps. He gulped and walked to his locker. He opened it and took out his books and put his trainers in their place. Then he shut it to see Sharpay looking in her mirror

'Magic mirror on the wall, who's the ugliest one of all.' Troy smirked. Sharpay didn't respond. Troy looked at her reflection in the mirror and saw that her face was not hard, it was sad. She slammed the locker and Troy saw the hardness and coldness of her eyes return. She whirled back around to talk to him.

'You are the ugliest, where I am the fairest.' she retorted. Troy raised an eyebrow at her.

'You sure about that Evans.' he asked, not noticing that all eyes were on them.

'Pretty sure Bolton.'

'Well I'm not, see you've got something wrong with you.'

'And what might that be?' she spat.

'Everything!'

'You know nothing about me Bolton!'

'Oh yeah! Well I know for a fact that you're not really like this. You're still a tom boy with an attitude, a nationalist girl basketballer. Which is surprising cause your so short! You have a gay brother and a lousy boyfriend and wierd friends!' Troy yelled. Sharpay was so offended, she forgot her facade.

'You bastard! You fucking shitty piece of crap!' she yelled. Then she kicked him down.

'My brother is not gay! In fact he's going out with someone now! A GIRL!! MY FRIENDS ARE PERFECTLY NORMAL! But then again you should know what a lousy boyfriend is because you were one! A CHEATING SCUM WHO'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND WHO PROBABLY GOES SLEEPING AROUND BEHIND YOUR BACK! CAMERON IS THE PERFECT MAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE BETTER THAN YOU!' Sharpay burst out and began to attack Troy. Suddenly Ryan came out of the crowd and pulled his sister of Troy. He began to speak to her in portugese which confused everyone.

'Abandone-o Sharpay. Ele não o merece.' (Leave him Sharpay, he is not worth it) he said softly. Sharpay's features softened.

'Você é Ryan direito. Vai deixar esta parte em paz da sujeira. Ele não o merece em absoluto.' (You are right Ryan. Let us leave this piece of filth alone. He is not worth it at all.) she then spat at his feet and left the school with Ryan. Troy removed his arms that were shielding his face, petrified. Suddenly he noticed the crowd watching, their bottom jaws practically on the floor.

'What are you staring at?' he asked them as Gabriella rushed up to him with Chad, Zeke, Jason, Taylor and Kelsi behind her.

'Don't worry she won't dare show tomorrow.' Gabby reasurred Troy


It was Tuesday morning, 8:15 am and the school was wondering if Sharpay and her brother would turn up. And they did. It was a shock as they entered. Ever since Troy had revealed them, they didn't care about their "facades" any more. Sharpay wore baggy black jeans, a gold crop top which showed her pierced belly button. She wore dark large black and florecent green trainers with yellow skulls on them. She carried a white back pack over her shoulder. Her eyes were heavily rimmed with black kohl and her hair was flowing down in very loose plaits with black wire weaved in and out of them. Ryan wore baggy blue jeans with a white shirt and a blue vest underneath. There was no hat at all, it had been replaced by sun glasses. The wildcats were shocked -- The old Sharpay was back.
