Summary:Troy finds himself being friends with Ryan 's somthing he thought would never it change for the better?Or will it cause a diversion between friends and family?

Pairings:
Troy/Ryan

Troy looked over at Gabriella, confusion written all across his face. "What
does she mean?" He asked, the thought jumping in his head about her cheating on
him. He needed to know, he had seen how close Gabriella and Ryan had gotten
over the summer but they couldn't have... No, Gabriella wouldn't have cheated
on him. Would she? Gabriella sighed in defeat and sat down, Troy sat down next
to her and watched as she took his hand in hers.

"My...my mom." Gabriella sighed, she could feel her chest tightening and she
knew she was about to cry harder now, but she knew she couldn't. She had to be
strong, she had to be strong and tell Troy. "She got a job offer."

Troy couldn't be happier, Gabriella wasn't cheating on him, not with Ryan or
with anyone. "That's great!" He exclaimed. "Congratulations for your mom."
Gabriella sighed, she knew what Troy must have been thinking and she didn't
want to break that smile but she had to.

"It's in France." The words fueled her tears and they started to spill with
no control. "Paris France, Troy. Half way around the world." Troy stared at
her, reminding Gabriella of a deer trapped in headlights. "I'm leaving in two
days, Troy. I'm going to miss you so much."

Troy stared at her, his own eyes watering. He sighed and stared at the
beautiful girl he had fallen in love with. He leaned down and captured
Gabriella's lips in a soft kiss. he stood up quickly and stared at her as he
started to cry. "I... I got-got-to go." He cried before running off.

"Troy," Gabriella sobbed as she watched Troy walk away for the last time.

-x- Two Weeks Later -x-

Troy walked around Lava Springs feeling depressed, he had done the same thing
for the past two weeks. Just walked around alone. The depression had consumed
him and he was tired of trying to break free.

He walked into the kitchen and frowned when he realised there was no one
there. He could hear the faint sounds of music and with nothing better to do
and his curiosity to lead him, he followed the sounds and headed towards the
music hall. He stopped in his tracks when he saw his friends; Chad, Ryan,
Taylor, Kelsi, Zeke, Martha and the rest of the wildcats dancing. Troy felt
himself smile for the first time in a while, his friends looked so happy. Once
the song had finished the dancers all head over to Ryan, picked him up and
spun him around all laughing.

Everyone walked out of the room leaving Ryan alone. He sat on one of the
benches staring at the floor, Ryan knew they were all missing Gabriella, she
was a good friend, a good girlfriend to Troy but he was like another sister to
him, but now she was gone. And everyone missed her. Troy walked into the room,
Ryan still hadn't noticed him; he cleared his throat and Ryan jumped and
turned around. Troy couldn't help but laugh at Ryan's face.

Ryan looked up at him, and placed a hand over his fast beating heart some
what dramatically. "What are you doing here, Troy?" There was no venom in his
words, but there was confusion. Troy hadn't spoken to anyone since Gabriella
had left, and he knew he had been giving Ryan cold looks for a reason he
wasn't too sure of.

Troy smiled sadly at him and walked over and sat next to him on the bench,
"You guys were really good," he said softly, "It looked like a lot of fun." He
tried to hide his depression, he didn't want to show Ryan how weak he felt.
But Ryan had already sensed it. Ryan had noticed that ever since he and his
sister had started to hang around with the wildcats, and ever since Gabriella
had left Troy's friends hadn't really been there, maybe because Troy hadn't
been there either. But they had all missed the clear signs of depression.

"Yeah," Ryan sighed. "Troy, I know you're missing Gabby, we all are." Ryan
started. Troy looked at him and Ryan knew he shouldn't have said it, but he
had begun now and there was no going back, Troy needed to hear this. "I get
it, you're depressed. You loved her and now she's not here, but it's not too
late. You have friends who are here, and they want to be there for you. Let
them. Apologise, Troy. Chad misses you, your basketball team miss you."

Troy smiled weakly, Ryan was right. He had treated Chad horribly over the
past couple of weeks and he wanted to make everything right, he wanted his
friends back. His eyes lit up when he had an idea on how to win his friends
back.

"Ryan!" He exclaimed excitedly. "I have an idea, but I need your help."

"Sure, what is it Troy?" Ryan asked a little confused. He had expected Troy
to shout at him, to yell and tell him to mind his own business. But he was
glad he had caused this reaction.

"Can you teach me those dance moves, what you did with the rest of the
wildcats?" Troy asked almost nervously. Ryan didn't need to do this for him.

"I'd love to." Ryan grinned. "Meet me here tomorrow at 4:30 sharp." Ryan
ordered. Troy nodded his head, everything seemed to be fitting back into
place. "I got to go, I told Sharpay and Chad I'd meet them." Ryan stood up, as
did Troy. Troy hugged Ryan tight and Ryan hug back.

Troy felt a jolt of energy run through him as they hugged, when Ryan pulled a
little and Troy was captivated he couldn't stop staring into those crystal
blue eyes and he couldn't not want to run his fingers through the platnium
blond hair. Ryan hugged him again, a little quicker before smiling and walking
away.

Troy stood there trying to figure out what had just happened. He had felt the
energy run through him, something he hadn't felt in two weeks, it felt right,
and he wanted to feel it again. He wanted to have Ryan in his arms again. He
asked himself what it was, what was going on with him? He didn't know, he
sighed and walked out of the room. Thoughts of Ryan following him wherever he
went.
