Scene 4

It was after school now, I dragged my backpack along to the home ec room. Rehearsals were done and Sharpay was waiting for me outside. I told her it wouldn't take long. Knocking on the door led to a come in from Zeke.

I opened the door to see him standing at the edge of the counter with a meal right in front of Zeke. Going to him I observed the room. It was like a kitchen but in a classroom. He looked up and smiled at me. Zeke motioned for me to come closer.

Obeying his command, led me right next to him. He used a fork to get a piece of the meal and faced me. My face flushed a pink color and and ate the bite sized food.

"How is it?" Zeke asked.

"It's really good," I respond.

"Have you broken up with Chad yet?"

"I did it during PE, he's ignoring me now."

"Oh well, people come and go."

Zeke kissed my cheek, surprising me. My eyes met his and he grabbed the food.

"It's an angel cake, take it," he spoke up.

"Okay," I added.

"Tell Sharpay it's also for her, she wanted me to make it."

"Noted."

I walked out with a plater of cake wrapped up to the main student parking to meet Sharpay by her pink car. She perked up when the door closed.

"Did Zeke make the angel cake I requested?" She asked excitedly.

"He did, you're going to eat it?" I asked back.

"Yes."

"Pinky promise?"

"Pinky."

I got in the passenger seat as Sharpay got in the driver. We buckled up and my sister drove us home. The radio wasn't playing anything good so I turned it off. We talked about our days for most of the time. At our house, both of us got out and went inside.

Going to the kitchen, I put the cake in the fridge, as Sharpay winded down on the couch. I saw a note on the island, picking it up and skimming through it. My heart sank.

"Uh... Shar?" I asked.

"Yes?" She questioned.

"This note says mom and dad are splitting."

"What?"

"You heard me."

She walked over to me and read it herself. Tears fell down her face, she backed up. We remained there silent until the front door unlocked.

"Hello children," father spoke.

"Hi dad," Sharpay answered.

"I see you saw the note."

"You can't separate us like this dad."

"This is for the best, your mother is awful."

I put the paper on the island again and went to my room. Sharpay called out got me, in attempt to get me there again. Tears fell down my cheeks as I flopped onto my bed, getting under the covers. This couldn't be happening right now.

A soft knock came on my door, which opened and some pressure was added on the bed.

"Ryan honey, I know this must be hard on you," Mom's voice said.

"You don't get it mom, you don't know what's going to happen," I responded.

"Your father takes Shar and I take you, we agreed on that."
