DISCLAIMER: I do not own High School Musical or any of the Characters from High School Musical. However, I do own this plotline and possible characters created by me.
This is my second attempt at a story. I took the other one down, due to writers block so hopefully I can get this one completed.
RYAN'S POV
Ryan Evans was sitting in his last period math class listening to his math teacher, Mr. Devosa, ramble on about the quadratic formula. He tried to pay attention, but the lecture dragged on and he couldn't seem to stay on task. He looked around the class and noticed not many of his classmates were paying attention either. His twin sister Sharpay was doodling her name on her notebook. He looked over toward the front of the room, and noticed Gabriella Montez was taking very detailed notes from the lecture. Chad Danforth was laying on his arm asleep, Ryan noticed a pool of drool pouring out of his mouth. Ryan looked to the desk beside him and noticed Troy Bolton was looking out the window.
Ryan was definitely attracted to Troy. Ryan couldn't help but to stare at him. His chocolate brown hair fell perfectly across his forehead. His lips looked soft and sensual. Then there was his astonishing blue eyes. They were like the ocean, light and calm. Troy had something that about him that made everything peaceful and serene.
Riiiiiiiiiiing.
Ryan didn't realize he had been staring at Troy until he heard the ring of the bell. He quickly jerked his head away and hoped nobody else had caught him staring. Ryan knew he was gay since he was a freshman, but only Sharpay and his parents know about it. He was talking to a guy, but ended it when the guy wanted to go public. He was sure the school knew he was different, but he didn't know if he could just come out to over four-hundred people.
Ryan got out of his desk and made his way toward the door. He realized he forgot his notebook, and turned around.
"Ryan! What are you doing?" His sister shrieked.
"I forgot my notebook, I'll just meet you at the car in five minutes." He said back calmly.
"Not a minute later or your walking home!" She yelled back and left before he could respond.
He walked over and retrieved his notebook from his desk. He thought he was the only person left in the room, so he jumped when he seen Kelsi Nielson standing at the door. He could tell she was waiting on him.
"Ryan, can we talk?" She said in a hushed voice.
He couldn't imagine why she would want to talk to him. The most they ever spoken about before was the musical she written. "Sure, Kelsi. What's up?"
"During class, I noticed you were focused on something, er…someone, instead of the lesson." She said quietly.
"R-really?" His voice cracked. Oh God! She seen me staring at Troy. She knows I'm gay! What am I going to do? He thought to himself.
"Well you seemed like someone had captivated you, and you were staring in my direction." She was looking away from him, and her voice got quieter as she spoke. "Well I was wondering if it was possible that you liked me?"
Ryan let out a long sigh. So she doesn't know. However, she thinks I was staring at her and I like her. I don't like girls and I can't tell her I was staring at Troy, but I can't tell her I like her when I don't. What am I going to do? His mind was racing one-hundred miles per hour. "Kelsi, your very pretty and nice, but I was just dozing off. I wasn't really staring at anyone, I was in my own world, and I only see us as being friends. I'm sorry." He hated to lie to her, but he couldn't tell her the truth either.
"Oh, no it's fine. I mean I just thought that, well it's fine. I got to go, bye Ryan." She stammered out the sentence with tears in her eyes. She obviously liked him, and he just shot her down.
Ryan felt like crap, but was relieved all at the same time. He figured he shouldn't worry about it right now, because he had three minutes to get to the car before Sharpay left him. He hurried toward his locker to grab his bag. Of course, it was jammed and it took him a couple tries to finally get it open. He grabbed his bag and began to run down the steps two the first floor. He got outside and Sharpay was nowhere in sight. He looked and her pink Convertible was going down the road. He knew that he would have to walk five miles back to his house.

TROY'S POV
Troy Bolton had just left the guys locker room after basketball practice. He was the point guard and team captain for the East High Wildcats. He couldn't deny that he was good looking. All the girls wanted him and he knew it. He got to his car and started it up. He drove a mile away from the school and noticed a young blonde guy walking. As he got closer he realized it was Ryan Evans.
Troy didn't know much about Ryan, but he was pretty sure he was gay. He acted and dressed look the typical gay guys from the area. Of course, that rumor was never confirmed and normally Ryan just shrugged off the nasty comments about it. Troy thought about his last period math class. He sat next to Ryan, and was staring out the window today. He noticed in the corner of his eye that Ryan was looking at him, no not looking, he was staring. He watched Ryan look at every part of his face in the last class.
He found himself smiling at the thought. What's wrong with you? Why are you smiling about a guy checking you out? Your not gay, your straight. Your dating the most gorgeous girl at East High! The thoughts were racing through his mind when he pulled up toward Ryan. He couldn't help but to notice the sweat pouring down Ryan's face. He felt bad for him and decided to give him a ride to his house.
