Chapter 1: Graduation

Troy stood in his bedroom, holding a small box in his hand. He was fidgeting with it. He was waiting anxiously for Sharpay to come in. Instead someone else walked in. It was Candice Fletcher. "Hey Troy" She said, with a very flirty voice.

"Candice..." Troy tried desperately to avoid her. He didn't like her. She was slutty, a bitch and just damn right annoying.

"What's that?" She asked, before he could go, looking at the box in his hand.

"Oh...it's..a present" Troy lied.

"It's pretty small for a present. But I guess you don't need presents to flatter someone" She moved her hand up his arm.

"What are you-"

He was cut off by her lips joining with hers. They fell recklessly onto his bed. Someone passed by and caught the site. Their eyes widened and they ran off.

"Woah" Troy pulled off her and got up. "Could up please go?"

"Why? Don't you want-"

"Just Go Please!"

Troy watched as the girl left the room. He wiped his mouth fiercly, he tidied up his hair.

A few minutes later, Sharpay walked in. "Hey" She hugged him. "Aren't you gonna miss the party standing in your room?"

"Um no it's just..." Troy got down on one knee. Sharpay gasped. She was not expecting.

"Troy wait, I have to tell you something" Sharpay insisted.

"Okay..." Troy still stayed on his one knee.

"Uh...um...never mind" Sharpay panicked.

"Fine. Sharpay, i know this might sound soon, but I want to stay with you forever, you are my whole life and I want to have a family with you, and spend the rest of my life with you" Troy nervously said.

The word "family" made Sharpay all the more nervous.

He opened the box revealing the ring. "Will you marry me?"

There was no way Sharpay couldn't say no. Not after how far he's gone for her.

"Yes" She answered, to such an extent, Troy picked her up and gave her the biggest kiss of her life.

The Guilt was still there but was washing away slowly.

Now

"Gabriella Montez" The Principal called out. It was Graduation. Gabriella went up in her gown and graduation hat, picked up her diploma and stood next to Sharpay.

"I can't believe this is it" Gabriella whispered.

"Me niether" Sharpay replied, twiddling with the engagement ring.

"Troy Bolton" Lots of the students cheered as he got up to get his diploma.

He stood excitedly next to Sharpay, he placed her hand into his. She smiled at him.

A few minutes passed, "I know give you East High's Class of 2008!" The students cheered and Troy and Sharpay kissed.

"I can't believe we've Graduated!" Gabriella said.

They walked into Grand Host Hotel, where the Graduation party was.

Gabriella, Sharpay and Taylor walked in wearing their party dresses.

"You look beautiful" Troy said to Sharpay.

"Thanks" She replied, he took her hand and they made their way to the dance floor.

"You wanna dance?" Ryan asked Gabriella.

"Sure" Gabriella said.

Sharpay and Troy were swaying around.

"I can't believe there is no more East High for us" Sharpay said.

"I can't believe it either" Troy said.

"I can't believe you are still together" The two let go of each other and looked at Candice.

"Candice what do you want?" Troy asked.

"Well since you haven't told her, I will" Candice glared.

Troy started to get nervous. "Tell me what?" Sharpay asked, a little confused. Most of the students were staring.

"Nothing, she's just being-"

"Truthful" Candice said. The music had stopped and everyone was staring.

"Come on Shar" Troy tried to lure her away.

"No Troy. I want to listen to her"

"I'm just so surprised he hadn't told you" Candice boasted.

"Told me what?!"

"He cheated on you...with me"

Everyone gasped. Gabriella and Ryan were looking at the pair.

"You what?!" Sharpay shouted.

"Sharpay I didn't." Troy rejected the claim that brought tears to her eyes.

"Oh yes he did, Right before he proposed to you"

"You go and cheat on me, and then ask me to marry you to forget all about it?!" Sharpay screamed.

"Well I can tell you two things, you can this stupid ring back and I HATE YOU TROY BOLTON!" Sharpay threw the ring to a side and ran out of the hotel.

"Sharpay wait!" Troy went to pick up the ring and ran outside.

"Sharpay!"

All Troy could hear was the revving of a car going down the road.

Sharpay was sat in the back of a taxi.

The yellow car parked up in front of the Evans. "Thanks" She gave the driver the money.

She ran inside and slid down the door, and just sat there crying.
