Planning the Future
Jason Cross smiled as he surveyed the crowded auditorium. They were all waiting for the play to begin, but they were here to see the show and he was here to see her.
She was his longtime girlfriend Sharpay Evans and tonight was her final dramatic performance as a college student. He’d seen the University of Albuquerque’s performance of Grease several times since it had opened a couple weeks ago, but tonight would be different. When she walked off stage after the final act, he’d be waiting for her in her dressing room and he would make sure tonight was a night she’d never forget.
After the lights dimmed and the curtain opened, revealing the first scene of the play, Jason allowed his mind to wander back to the very beginning of his and Sharpay’s relationship, nearly 8 years ago.
They had just started high school and had been paired up for a family project in their health class. Since most of the work had to be done outside of class, they got permission from their parents for him to come over to her house after school a few days in a row.
Their project required them to pretend that they were a married couple and they had to create a budget, find careers and decide how they would raise their children.
The majority of their project was done in her very pink bedroom and they breezed through the budget and career parts of their assignment. But when it came to how they would raise their children they ran into rough waters, especially when it came to what toys their children would play with.
“Legos for the boys and Barbies for the girls,” Jason said.
“My children are not going to play with Barbies,” Sharpay stated. “I didn’t and there for, my children won’t either.”
“You didn’t play with Barbie’s, seriously?”
“No, why, do I look like I did?”
“Well, yeah, with all the pink you wear…”
“I didn’t and not that it’s important, but Ken and Barbie are so overrated.”
“So what did you play with?”
“I can show you, come on.”
She led him out of her room and down the hall to the old playroom. She flipped on the lights and it was obvious what side of the room had been hers and which side had been her twin brother Ryan’s.
“As you can see, I have quite the collection of Cabbage Patch dolls, My Little Ponies, Pound Puppies and the whole Littlest Pet Shop collection.”
“My sisters would be in heaven if they saw this room.”
“I spent a lot of time in this room, just lost in my head,” Sharpay smiled as she picked up her favorite My Little Pony. “It was in this room that I decided that I wanted to be an actress.”
“You want to be an actress? Why didn’t you say that in our careers section?”
“Because Mrs. Johnson would write it off as a whimsical idea.”
“If it’s what you want to do, Sharpay, then I think you should put it down as your career. Sure it’ll mean we have to adjust our budget, but if there’s one thing I want my kids to know it’s that they can do anything they want to do and I’ll support them a hundred percent.”
It was a tap on his shoulder that pulled Jason out of his memory. He looked up and saw an impatient couple staring at him expectantly. It was then that he realized that the main lights had come back on, signaling that it was intermission. He stood up and moved out of the aisle then out into the lobby of the auditorium.
The intermission lasted for about twenty minutes and Jason filled into the auditorium with everyone else, but opted to take a seat in the last row. As the lights dimmed his mind went back to when he asked Sharpay to be his girlfriend.
It had been about two weeks after they finished their A+ project. Her brother had been sick that day so he offered to walk her home from the bus stop even though his house was a mile down the bus route.
The walk to her house had been quiet, mostly because he was so nervous about asking her out. He really liked her and if he was reading the signs right, she liked him too.
His heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he felt her hand slip into his timidly. He looked down at their enfolded hands then up at her face.
“Will you be my girlfriend?” He squeaked.
Sharpay giggled at the high tone of his voice, but nodded, “Yes.”
When they reached her front door, she gave him a hug then kissed his cheek before disappearing into her house.
He practically floated home that day and it became routine for him to walk her home from school.
Their relationship grew from there and there wasn’t a day between that fall day and the night of her last performance that they hadn’t been together. Sure, they had had their rough spots over the years, but they had managed to stay together.
Rising from his seat, Jason exited the auditorium as the second to last number began. He made his way to the backstage area, greeting the students that were running security, and went into Sharpay’s dressing room.
He smiled when he saw that the bouquet of wild flowers that he had ordered was sitting on her makeup table. He sat there for nearly thirty minutes before she came into the room, her face flushed with a big smile on her face.
“Jason!” She exclaimed.
“Hey,” he smiled. He stood up and placed a kiss upon her red lips. “You were great tonight.”
“You watched again,” she laughed.
“More like thought,” he stated as he stuffed his hands in his pockets, sliding the diamond ring onto his the pinky of his left hand. “Shar, I want to ask you something.”
“Ask away,” she smiled and her eyes widened when she saw him get down on one knee.
“Sharpay Evans, we became friends when we were planning our imaginary future together,” Jason said, his eyes focused on hers. “But I’m tired of thinking of it as imaginary, I want to be your future and you to be mine. Sharpay, will you-”
“Sharpay, do you- ” one of her costars froze when she realized what she had stumbled upon. “Sorry!” She quickly left the room, closing the door behind her.
“Sharpay, will you marry me?” Jason finished.
“Yes!” Sharpay squealed then watched as Jason slid the small diamond ring onto her left ring finger. “I love you, Jason!”
“I love you, too,” he grinned as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.
