It had started out like and any other day. I woke up, got ready for school, had breakfast with my mom, and met Troy Bolton outside of school. Troy and I had been dating for almost two months now. We had met at a ski lodge during winter break and when I transferred to my new school it ended up being the same school he went to. We got the roles in the musical together and since then everything has been perfect. We walked to our first class together and sat down side by side. We got to work doing our assignments and chatted. Half way through class our teacher Ms. Lieson stopped us all.
"By the way will anyone be seeing Ryan or Sharpay Evans today? As you may have seen they are both absent and someone will need to bring them their work." She said. I looked around the class and noticed that Ryan and Sharpay weren't here.
"Hey, don't you pass their house on your way home?" Troy whispered to me. I tried to shush him but it was too late. Ms.Lieson had heard.
"Well if that's true, Miss Montez, will you be able to bring them their work?" I sighed and nodded. If it had been anyone else I wouldn't have minded but ever since I came to East High I knew the twins didn't like me. Sharpay would give me dirty looks in the halls and Ryan would… Well he wouldn't really do anything. He didn't seem so bad. The only problem with him is that to everyone at East High it's socially unacceptable to talk to him. Not that it has ever been comfirmed but everyone at school is pretty sure that Ryan Evans is gay. He comes to school everyday in flamboyant and put-together outfits and the way he acts is well… Just gay. I didn't have a problem with it but Troy and the rest of the popular crowd sure did.
"Hah you have to take the fag his homework." Chad Danforth, Troy's best friend, laughed from behind me. I tried to laugh it off. The rest of the school day went by normally. After school I said goodbye to Troy and my friends and headed to the Evans' house. It was only three blocks away from mine so I'd be home in no time. I stopped outside the large house. Okay… Large house was a bit of an understatement. The place was huge. It was a freakin mansion. I timidly walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell and a few seconds later someone opened the door. I had expected a butler or maid to open the door but when I looked up I was face to face with Ryan Evans… But this Ryan was different.
"Gabriella." He smirked. "What a surprise."
Oh yeah… What a surprise. WHO WAS THIS PERSON. This could not be the same Ryan that everyone knew and… Well not 'loved' but… okay that everyone knew. This Ryan was wearing dark jeans and had on a tight black t-shirt. His hair wasn't gelled like it usually was and he was casually leaning against the doorframe looking well… confidant. Weird.
"Um hi, Ryan." I said nervously. "I uh brought yours and Sharpay's homework." I said fumbling with the notes. Suddenly he left. I stood there dumbfounded. He had actually just walked right back into his house leaving the door wide opened and I still had his stuff. Was I supposed to go in?
"Are you coming in or not?" I heard his voice call from inside. I placed a foot inside the door and then continued inside. The place looked even bigger from inside. "I'm in here" I followed his voice to the kitchen. The kitchen was like the size of my kitchen and living room combined. God, they were rich. "You can put that on the counter." He stated looking in the fridge. "Would you like something to drink, Gabriella?" He asked. For a second I forgot he was talking to me and I didn't say anything until I saw his face looking at my like I was mentally challenged.
"Uh… Water's fine I guess." I said shuffling and looking down at my feet. I could hear him laugh as he got me some water. When I looked up I was only inches away from Ryan. I could feel his breath on me. It was a bit unnerving. He handed me my water.
"Are you nervous?" He whispered slyly.
"W-What?" I stammered taking a step back. He turned around and sat down on a stool.
"Water is the nervous person's drink of choice." He said as he looked over the work I had left for him. I stood still just looking at him. He was so different now. Was he always like this at home?
"I should um probably go…" I stated nervously. He didn't say anything at all so I went on, "So, I guess I'll see you later?" He was still not looking at me so I backed up slowly and made my way back to the front door. I was almost outside when I felt someone grab my arm and turn me around. I felt Ryan's warm breath whisper in my ear.
"You don't have to leave." He said. I felt a shiver work it's way through me. I wanted to turn around and run out of the house but for some reason I couldn't move. He slowly backed me up to a wall and held my arms down. He looked straight into my eyes. Even though I was frightened by this, I couldn't help but feel attracted to Ryan at this moment. Wait no what was I thinking?! I have Troy. But as I was trying to think of Troy all I could see was Ryan's eyes gazing into mine. At that moment I knew that he was no longer Sharpay's twin. He was Ryan and he was in charge.
"Who are you?" I whispered. He could tell I was scared but all he did was smirk.
"I'm Ryan." He said. "The real Ryan. Not the stupid, shy little gay boy that follows his sister around like a lap dog. This is who I am" He whispered back harshly. He pressed his body closer into mine. I heard a moan escape my lips. Why was it that when I had an amazing boyfriend, all I could think about was kissing Ryan? I quickly pressed my lips against Ryan's and he captured them. He pressed me even more into the wall as we kissed. Suddenly he broke away. He backed up and laughed. "You should probably leave." He smirked. I was shocked and hurt. I nodded and walked outside. I turned around and saw Ryan smirking through the doorway. "See you tomorrow" He said and closed the door. I made my way to my car and sped home. As soon as I got in I ran to my room and flopped down on my bed.
"Oh my god." I whispered to myself. What the hell had happened to me?
