Disclaimer: I don't own High School Musical. I don't own any of the characters in the movie. If I did I would be a million dollas richer than I was before.

Summary: Ryan Evans does what people expect of him. He plays dumb, follows his sister around, always has a happy-go-lucky attitude, and auditions for the school musical every year. But a certain someone shows him that its okay to be your own person, and its okay to be who you want to be.

Authors Note: All right. This is a Troy x Ryan, slash, and this is my frist one. Keeping that in mind, I'm not a homophobic. I have read Ryan/Troy in the past and some of them are really good so I decided to try one myself. Please don't write bad reveiws because you aren't happy with the parings. If you don't like slash then just don't read it. Simple as that. Like I said my first one, but I do sincerely hope you like it.

Completely Fake

RYANS P.O.V

I hate people with perfect lives, people who have everything, and still mope around all day. What happened did your fish die. Big whoop my mom died you don't see me sulking around. Of course, not because I am an Evans, and Evans' never show when their upset. Sharpay has it easy. She just pretends to be mad at everyone, see if I pretended to be angry, the jocks would probably beat me up more then they already do.

Speaking of jocks, a prime example of someone who mopes but has a perfect life is Troy Bolton. He has been sad for a month. I don't see why he has his braincase girlfriend to cheer him up. Still that does not seem to cheer him up, clearly because he is making everyone else at school upset because of that fake frown he puts on. I want to slap people that are like that. What could possibly be wrong in his life? I should be out their sulking. Instead, I go through my day with that smile that is plastered on my face from nine to thre

It wouldn't be so bad if people were actually upset for real reasons. But Troy, Troy's to perfect to have any excuse to be upset. Myself on the other hand...I tried thinking of one good thing about my life, and I couldn't come up with anything. That made me even more upset, or angry. I tired to prevent my self from crying but, to late, the water works came down.

"Ryan, are you okay"

I was startled to hear Kelsi voice from behind me. I didn't exactly expect someone to come up and talking to me, out of their own free will. I turned around revealing my red puffy eyes.

Kelsi look at me sympathetically. She could tell I was crying. However, I was not going to give in, I wasn't going to tell her anything.

"Hi Kelsi, yeah I am fine. Just a little...tired"

"Oh, okay well. I was just going to the music room. Troy is there ready to rehearse his part. I thought maybe you would like to come and join, considering you're the understudy" she said sweetly. Troy, Troy, Troy. Why is everything about Troy.

"Umm Kelsi, is it okay if I sit this one out" I asked, knowing perfectly well that that wasn't an answer.

Ryan, the show is in 3 weeks. Now come on Troy is waiting for us"

'Troy is waiting for us' I thought. Ha! That sounds so funny.


Troy's P.O.V.

'Kelsi you're here, I thought you weren't going to show up" I said moving away from where I had been sitting.

"No, I would never leave you out to dry. Sorry I was late. I brought Ryan along so he could rehearse with us" Kelsi said, while grabbing her music from her bag.

My stomach did a flip

"why" I asked. Kelsi looked at me strangely.

"Because he is the understudy, he should know the part"

"Oh, right," I said dumbly. I looked over at Ryan, he was beside the piano on the other side of the room.

'Ryan' I said plainly to myself. It sounds stupid when I say his name. Its not that I didn't like Ryan. Honest I did. But there was something about him. Something about him that seemed, intimidating. There was something about him that made me want to forget my problems and focus on one thing...him. But I don't know what that something is. If I did I wouldn't be repeating this over and over again.


A/N: Okay I know its short but I meant for it to be. The only reason it is short is because I wanted to know if people like it or not. The next chapter will be longer. So I hope you like it. It was my first one. And please again don't write bad reveiws because of the parings. Please review, and I'll up date as soon as possible.

Thanks
