Hi my names Andy Parkins, I go to East High School in Albuquerque and this is my story of how my life changed, in one moment everything I knew and understood changed forever.
Ok, so that was a bit dramatic, but yeah things changed pretty quickly and they were never the same again.
There he stood shirtless in front of me sweat rolling off his chest, with any other guy the sweat would have been off-putting but with him it just made him more sexy, his pecs so perfect and his abs so defined I could've fainted if I wasn't careful. I quickly averted my eyes before anyone could notice.
"Hey Troy! Double date tonight, yeah?" A familiar voice shouted, belonging to his best friend, Chad Danforth. This was the big problem, he had a girlfriend, let alone the fact he was a jock and so would never go for someone like me.
Another guy.
I still held on to the dream that he may one day be with me. I never know why but it always stayed in the back of my head, the possibility, the hope, the dream that Troy Bolton would want to be with me.
Of course I still found a few other guys like me to fool around with, but it was never good, it was never like I imagined with him, they weren't as hot and they weren't as caring. I knew he would never be "friendly" with me, but it didn't stop him from being friendly when he saw me, unlike his best friend, Chad. Ever since people had found out about me being gay Chad gave me a hard time, and still does it from time to time but Troy always had a go at him. I think this made me like him more, want to be with him more, that no matter who you were he would always have a smile ready for you and never had too little time to say hi.
Anyway, by the time my daydream had ended everyone else in the changing rooms had left. I heaved myself out ready for drama. It wasn't a bad thing, I loved dancing and knew how to make an idiot of myself most of the time so I had a lot of fun, especially with my best friend Sally, but the best bit about drama was… Troy, naturally, he was always up for a laugh, the best time was when we had to do a role play of Romeo and Juliet however we did in the style of the Elizabethan theatre in which only boys could be in the show, well this was a bit of improvisation, but it was close enough. Anyway he was Romeo and I was Juliet and we had to do the scene where Romeo and Juliet were alone together before Romeo was kicked out of the city. Whilst we didn't do it properly like in a real play we had to pretend to "Get it on". God it was hot, until Chad ruined it shouting
"Don't you dare gay him up Parkins!" Luckily everyone had a go at Chad but it did change everything.
Anywho the day carried on like usual, Sally and I chatted about being famous, boys and the usual and then I went home to relax and, not, do my homework. So I went on IM like usual and chatted to Sally about the most hilarious things that we had seen on the internet and what happened when we got home when all of a sudden a new IM window appeared
Troy (L) Gabby 4Ever says:
Hey Andy, you ok?
My heart was racing; it was him, talking to me! I couldn't believe it, I quickly messaged Sally what had happened, got myself together and replied
Andy + Sally = BFF's says:
Hey, not too bad thanks you?
Aren't you with Gabby tonight then?
I was shaking, he wasn't replying quick enough, what was going on, was this a trick was he really going to reply, I carried on browsing the internet to keep focused when the IM buzzer went off, it was him!
Troy (L) Gabby 4Ever says:
Pretty sweet thanks, wuu2?
&& Gabby had work to do tonight so not seeing her tonight
Andy + Sally = BFF's says:
Ah,
Internet and IM you?
He still took a while to reply, but I wasn't sure whether it was the time slowly moving by that felt forever.
Troy (L) Gabby 4Ever says:
Same lol,
Can I ask you something?
Andy + Sally = BFF's says:
Sure
Troy (L) Gabby 4Ever says:
Can you meet me in the changing rooms tomorrow at 11
Now my heart was really pounding, he was asking me to meet him in the changing rooms, I answered immediately
Andy + Sally = BFF's says:
No probs, see you there
The conversation ended there, but I was fine with that, he started a conversation with me, he started a conversation with me!
The evening slowly wore on and I eventually went to bed, my mind was buzzing with what Troy could possibly want if he wanted to meet me in the changing rooms. My biggest worry that it was really Chad on Troy's account and he was going to beat me up, but then he had never done it before so what meant he was going to do it now. After a while my brain was too knackered to think anymore and I fell asleep my mind still, subconsciously, wondering why Troy had asked me to meet him.
