The Winter Musical!

Thunderous applause echoed through the auditorium of East High. The seats were full for the final night of the winter musical "Twinkle Town!" Troy and Gabriella were centre stage basking in the applause. Ryan and Sharpay had bowed previously but were adjusting to not getting the huge applause from their audience. Kelsi was then ushered onto stage by Miss Darbus as Troy and Gabriella joined the line with Ryan, Sharpay and the rest of the cast.

The applause stopped just as quickly as it had started when Miss Darbus and Kelsi were now center stage. Miss Darbus smiled and projected her voice saying "Last but certainly not least can we have a loud amount of applause for the writer & composer of our winter musical, Miss Kelsi Nielsen!" Kelsi looked at Miss Darbus and shook her head at her but she was interupted by a large round of applause which she blushed at and then smiled weakly before joining the cast and then they all took one last bow.

The curtain was lowered and the cast now relaxed. Miss Darbus chanted "Brava and Bravo!" Then she dashed off and muttered something about getting herself ready for the following morning. Alot of the cast left the stage leaving Ryan, Sharpay, Troy, Gabriella and Kelsi on stage. Troy smiled and hugged Gabriella. Gabriella hugged him tightly back and then broke it. She then stared into his deep blue eyes and leaned into kiss him.

Troy moved backwards raising his hands. "Sorrys Gabs I can't!" Gabriella looked at him in confusion and said simply "What?" Sharpay and Ryan were watching in their own form of dramatic reactions. Kelsi just tried to listen discreetly but she knew it would look bad so just turned to face them. She noticed Troy's face beginning in his cheeks was turning a shade of deep scarlet. Troy then opened his lips and said "I need to tell you all something!"

But before he could say anything there was a loud outburst of noise coming toward them. Chad, Zeke, Jason, Martha, Taylor and many other of their fellow classmates were beginning to approach them congratulating them. But Sharpay shouted "Everybody quiet!!" Everybody turned to look at her except Ryan who was rubbing his ears from the blasting noise from his sister's loud outburst. Sharpay then smiled and said sweetly "Sorry but Troy was about to make a announcement!"

Everybody then turned towards Troy. Troy gulped but looked straight into the eyes of Gabriella. "Well this is hard for me to say... I mean ... I ... Oh Boy ...!" Sharpay then interupted him again, "Just spit it out Bolton!" He looked at her as little bits of sweat began developing on his forehead. "Ok, well Gabriella I ... I don't think this is gonna work between us anymore!" Troy finally said in anxiety. Gabriella looked at him with tears slowly beginning to develop in her eyes, she then then looked at him and let out a single "Why?"

Troy flushed face darkened once more and he truely looked like a tomato now. "Gabriella this is just as hard for me!" Gabriella then looked at him angrily and said "What do you mean?! I am not the one chucking you!" Troy gasped slightly and looked at her with a feeling of fear growing inside himself. "Gabriella its not you...!" Before he could finish, Gabriella interupted him and said "Is there someone else?" She then turned to glare at Sharpay who looked shocked and quickly covered her open mouth with her freshly manicured right hand.

"No Gabi its not what you think!" Troy quickly said trying to get her to calm down. "Then what is it Troy?! Tell me Troy! I am dying to know!" Gabriella said vindictively. Troy then had a surge of anger come over him and shouted "I don't find you attractive because IM GAY!" Troy moments after saying this looked shocked. The people around had varied reactions a few of the girls gave him "awws", while others gasped and began to talk. Sharpay burst into tears uopn hearing the news and ran out of the room with Ryan and a few others chasing after her to make sure she was ok.

Gabriella looked Troy in the eyes and said "Ok!" She looked completely defeated and then turned and slowly left the auditorium. Kelsi smiled weakly at Troy and then indicated she was going to check on Gabriella. Now the only people left were the guys from the basketball team. Troy turned to them and said quickly "Guys, come on I can explain...!" Chad looked at him and said for all of them "UH we have to go ... um bye!" Then they all left in a rush to leave Troy with his thoughts.

A few days later Troy and Gabi talked and made up. He also talked to his team mates the following week and cleared the air. And after weeks on apologizing he got Sharpay to forgive him to and she just said "Well you can't be my boyfriend but you can be my gay best friend instead!" Then eventualy the school accepted it and life began to slowly move on as winter turned to spring.

But Troy felt his life was not moving on. He may of came out of the closet but he still needed to do one last thing for him to feel completely honest with himself. He had to tell the boy who had awakened his true sexuailty within him about his feelings toward him. Troy had to tell this boy he loved. Troy had to tell his friend he loved him. Troy had to tell Ryan Evans he loved him. But he was unsure how to start?
