Trapped in the Closet (A High School Musical Fanfic)

Chapter 7

The next morning, Rose woke up. She stretched her arms, rolling over to the other side of her bed. Opening her eyes, she found that Chad wasn't there.

The last thing she remembered was she was with Chad on her bed, they were watching T.V, and she fell asleep from the painkillers.

She didn't remember if he spent the night, obviously, he didn't because she spotted a piece of paper on her dresser. Rising up from her bed, She grabbed the paper and opened it.

"Rose,

Sorry I left on short notice. My phone went off and I had to get home. I re-wrapped your bandage, and I tucked you under the covers. I hope you slept well and I'll see you at school tomorrow.

P.s: Be careful with your wrist. Don't forget to take it easy.

Chad."

Rose smiled once she was finished. She felt warm feeling in her stomach. She smiled, forgetting about what happened yesterday with a sign. she stared at the ceiling for a few moments before her phone rang. Grabbing it she looked at the caller ID and her smile faded.

Shana.

"I know she's calling me about yesterday. She promise that she and her were going over some homework." Signing she hit the talk button and put the phone to her ear.

"Good Morning, Shana."

"Don't you good morning me! Where the hell had you been?" She asked her.

"Um...at school?" Rose lied. "You saw me yesterday..."

"No Shit! Rose. You were not at school. I looked for you all day!"

Rose's eye snapped open by Shana's harsh tone. To be honest, she didn't want to tell her the real reason why she skipped school and she didn't call her back. So, she came up with a lie.

"I had an ache in my neck from P.E yesterday. I went to the nurse's office she sent me home early. That's all."

"Bullshit!" Shana shot back. "Ryan told me he saw a boy that looks like a rip off version of Lucas Till walked into you class yesterday. Only person that I know that looks like that is Sean. Did he stop by yesterday? What did he do?!"

"No!" Rose exclaimed. "He was not at school. Ryan doesn't know what he's talking about. Look I don't have to explain myself to you! I have to get dressed now Okay? I'll see you later." And Rose hung up.

The last words she heard was "Or never!"

"I'm sorry," she replied to herself. "I can't tell you the truth...I can never tell anyone the truth."

Pulling her car up to East High, Rose put her car in park. She groaned softly at the slight pain she felt from her bandage wrist.

Looks like she didn't take Chad's advice about taking it easy. She realized she couldn't be seen with it...especially around Shana.

Signing, she unloosens the tape and un-wrapped the bandage. Whatever Chad did, she could see that the redness had left, but it was still swollen, and a little sore.
