Troy walked up to Gabriella but stopped abruptly when he saw Ryan twirling her in his arms, they stopped as well.
Ryan took his arms off of Gabriella's waist as Troy looked up at them confused, "Hey" Gabriella said, if she was feeling awkward she didn't let it show.
"Hey!" Ryan exclaimed brightly after her.
Troy looked at them for a few seconds before saying, "So, I called last night, I got, uh, hung up at the gym" he said still a little surprised.
The awkward silence took place for a few moments as none of them spoke, Ryan tried to break it by saying, "Hey, my dad said you're doing great with those college guys"
Not that that helped anything at all but Troy answered back, "Oh, yeah, they're awesome, playing with them was like to be in another world"
Gabriella smiled as she turned to Ryan, "Oh, well, you missed out a fun night, it was very great" she said to him.
Ryan pretended to be holding a golf club and swung it in the air as they laughed together.
"But the dessert afterwards, had to be the best part" he said as he gripped Gabriella's shoulders and pulled her against him, "Her mom makes the best brownies in the entire world" Ryan continued as if that was any news to Troy.
"Yeah I know, I've had them" Troy cut him off letting him know about it.
This time Ryan looked down embarrassedly but before he had a chance to escape, another voice cut into the conversation.
"Troy, I…" Sharpay said walking down the steps behind them but stopped just as abruptly as Troy had done a few minutes ago when she saw the scene in front of her.
She looked dumbstruck at Ryan and Gabriella for a few minutes before she blinked and turned to Troy when he asked:
"What?"
Sharpay swallowed whatever it was that was stuck in her throat and smiled reassuringly at him, "Uh, eh, nothing I just wanted to congratulate you for the game last night, you were amazing" she said as she turned away to leave hoping Troy had enough sense to not get her thrown into the conversation.
Apparently he didn't because as soon as she turned on her heel he called her back and asked, "You were there?"
Sharpay closed her eyes and sighed in exasperation before turning around, "Yeah, my dad called me to watch the game" she answered sweetly while glaring daggers at him.
Troy smiled that cute little smile of his and nodded, "Thanks, it means a lot"
Sharpay looked at him in surprise, "Uh, no problem" she said nodding back at him.
They looked at each other in silence for a while forgetting about the other couple, which was obviously staring at them, Sharpay seemed to snap out of it before Troy and said, "Uh, I should probably leave you three to talk" she motioned awkwardly to them "whatever this is out"
Before Troy had the chance to say anything else she tuned around and climbed up the steps, she turned around before taking the last step and called, "Troy" he looked up at her "You know where to find me if you need" then she was gone.
Troy looked at where she was for a few minutes before turning to Ryan and Gabriella, he smirked and said, "You know, sometimes even Sharpay can be nicer than you" she said to the brunette then disappeared just as quickly as Sharpay.
