highschool musicals story and its actors do not in any way belong to me i am just useing them in my awsome kick ass story they belong to the evil empire that is disney etc. XD

Why me I thought as I was abruptly woken by my sister at the ungodly hour of 7:00 in the morning. Ugh it's the summer as of yesterday and already I had to get up as if I was getting up for another day of school. I rolled over not looking at her but she was relentless in her effort of getting me up. Sometimes I wish that the family saying "an Evans never quits" could grant an acceptation every time Sharpay had some nefarious idea on how to spend her time.

"Ryan up" she yelled while pulling open the curtains that blocked out the bright as ever morning sunshine. "We are leaving at 7:30 everyone is already here"

"Shar please" I said into my pillow "why do I need to go I'll be left out of almost everything"

"No you won't ry I will see to that" she said now sitting on the end of my bed and although I couldn't see her face I knew she was using the puppy dog face "I don't want to spend my last summer before university without my brother"

"Shar" I said whining

"Please I'll be you best friend"

I sat up out form under my pillows and looked at her while giving her an over the top eye roll "shar I am your best friend"

"That you are" she said pulling the blanket off of me "now get dressed" and with that she made her way out of my room and back to the family room were apparently every one was waiting for me. I got up off my bed and looked at my cloths which sharpay had picked out for me thinking back on how I was suckered into going on this…trip. Stupid blue eyed man of my dreams.

It was two days before graduation and I was of Corse in my room as sharpay played host to the wild cat power couples of east high at leas that's the way I saw them but I'm sure the rest of the school agreed. Troy and Gabi were there as well as Chad and Taylor and who could forget Kelsey and Jason and on sharpays arm was zeke. I was also invited I mean its my house but if you can do the math there were four couples and I being single felt it was in no way shape or form my cup of tea to hang out with four different couples while I am alone with no one. Third wheel I've done it no problem even fifth wheel but no way would I ever be caught dead as a ninth wheel.

So I will keep my distance for now.

And don't get me wrong they are all my friends actually if you think about it they were my friend before they were sharpays but only when they weren't all together. I loved hitting the ball around with Chad every now and then and since I started going shopping with Gabi her wardrobe has improved and as far as Kelsey goes I would take a bullet for the little composer but the same cant be said for all of the wild cats. One in particular I knew didn't like me all that well.

Troy Bolton…lets just say since last summer he has never liked me all that much what with him thinking I was trying to steal his girlfriend. after that we just didn't see eye to eye about anything at times it seemed like he would disagree with me just for the sake of knowing that everyone would back him up because hello he is troy Bolton….

But if only he knew, If only he knew the truth about me and the many nights I had spent with my hand thinking about him. I don't know weather he would be grossed out that I was thinking of him in that way or if he would be relieved that he was wrong and that I don't in fact have a crush on Gabi. Odds point to the first scenario like I said before its troy Bolton Mr. perfect if he ever thought he was in the wrong one if his friends would see to it that feeling wouldn't last long.

I would have been glad to coop myself up in my room for the rest of the day but my stomach wouldn't have it. I knew getting to the kitchen I would have to make an appearance which was the last thing I wanted but I was actually beginning to get hungry it was 6:30 and I hadn't eaten since breakfast. So I made my way down to the kitchen.

I walked passed the family room expecting to find a gaggle of lovey dovey couples spooning but I instead found it empty. Ha maybe luck took them to another part of the house. As I walked down the hall to the kitchen I began to hear voices. Great they pick the kitchen to have there love fest. I stopped outside the door and braced my self for the humiliation of walking into a mating room before pushing the door open.

As usual I over reacted about what I was going to find the ground doing. For some reason I have it in my head that I will one day find the eight of them having some sort of orgy but I know it will never happen. The group was sitting around the very unnecessarily large island. Sharpay was sitting on zekes lap and Chad was sitting on the counter… typical but what I found to be the oddest thing is the golden couple themselves were on opposite ends of the counter and troy was sitting with a child's pout on his face. I couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Hey Ryan" Gabi said getting up and heading towards me and launching herself at me for a hug.

That caught me a little of guard but what didn't was the glare I caught from troy while doing so. I bit my lip and then mouthed the words sorry to troy who responded with a look of confusion. I'm no idiot I know full well he and Gabi had gotten into an argument about something and she was now hugging me to make troy feel jealous well I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction so any way I could let troy know I was not interested I was going to take it.

"I'm so existed for the trip aren't you?" she said pulling away from the hug.

Now I was the one confused "what trip?" I asked looking at sharpay

"See ry that's why when I say I am having everyone over you should make an appearance so you are in the loop about our summer plans" sharpay said

"Ok so fill me in "

"Ok" she said getting up from zekes lap "so this is like the last time we will ever spend the summer together" she said dramatically

"It will also be the first" Chad chimed it

"Shut it danforth" she said pointing the palm of her hand in Chad's direction "anyway so I was thinking I would host a road trip with daddy's Winnebago for all of us" she then said excitedly

I was a little shocked by that and didn't say anything for a few seconds she couldn't be serious. I couldn't help myself as I let out a loud honk of a laugh earning some hurt looks from everyone.

"I'm sorry but are you kidding sharpay you wont get on a plane if you don't have the hole row booked and you are willing to spend you're summer with seven other people on a bus?" I was nearly shaking with how funny I thought the idea of sharpay on that bus would be.

"What do you mean seven Ryan" she said all joking aside

"You and zeke plus the other married couples" I said as if it was obvious

"Uh Ryan you're coming to"

My jaw dropped was she serious like was the being legit wow as if this day couldn't get any more funny "your hilarious shar"

" Ryan I'm being serious it would mean the world to me of you came I cant spend my last summer before we all go away without you with me especially science you are going to be all the way in California and I'm goanna be at u of a"

"Ok but I can't spend my last summer with for lack of a better word….you" I said gestureing my hands at all of them

"Is there something wrong with us?" troy asked accusingly

" simple minded person asks a simple minded question… no but take a second and count troy with your fingers if its easier I'm the odd mad out and I'd rather not have to spend my summer as a ninth wheel" I said bluntly.

Troy didn't respond but instead turned away and mumbled something.

"Well can you at least think about it?" sharpay said smiling weakly

"Sure" I said… LIE not a chance was I going on this trip I was going to do what I always did spend the summer on a lounger at lava springs reading a good book.

"Ok great" she said enthusiastically "I'm going to the pool… coming ladies?"

"Count me in" said Taylor following sharpay out of the kitchen with the rest of the girls all of the boys followed to and I made my way to the refrigerator to get my hungry stomach something to eat. Lets see I thought to myself as I browsed threw the fridge "lettuce tomato onions green pepper black olives and ….. Ah feta cheese the Greek gods would be proud "I said to myself, someone behind me let out a small giggle. I turned around quickly to see who it was and found troy sitting the same spot as he had been the whole time snickering at me.

"Can I help you" I said putting my salad stuff on the counter and walking to the drawer for a knife.

"No" he said now taping his fingers on the counter top. He has such cute fingers.

"Then why are you still here?" I asked

"I don't feel much like swimming" he said plainly

"I see well... do you feel like dicing?" I asked sliding a second knife across the counter followed by tossing him a bell pepper.

"I think you should go" troy said completely out of left field

"You know I shouldn't be surprised that you yet again disagree with something that I think but I am" I said shaking my head in disbelief "I'll bite why do you think I should come?"

"I wish you wouldn't talk to me like I'm stupid" he said. I looked at him expecting to see an angry glare but instead was met by troy hanging his head with a look of hurt spread across his face.

I was a little surprised troy even cared what I thought I mean I always felt bad when he would chirp me but that was because I have a crush on him but I never expected for troy to care.

"I'm sorry… but it's not like you haven't said stuff to me" I said feeling a little embarrassed

"I'm sorry to" he said beginning to cut the pepper "we're both going to Berkley" he then said looking up at me

"Uh yeah" god why did troy have to jump back and forth so much "what's your point?"

" well I was thinking maybe if you want we could get to know each other" he said " I mean Gabi is going to be at Stanford and its close but even then I don't know how much I will be seeing her and it would be nice to have a friend and … maybe even a roommate?"

"You … you would want to be my ...roommate?" I said nervously. Oh my how I would like to bunk with you troy Bolton.

"Yeah I mean it's always nice to have a friend someone you know to hang around" troy said nonchalantly

" I don't know troy I mean I already feel awkward just standing here with you guys a road trip with everyone constantly in everyone's biz is not really my idea of a great time" I said honestly but at the same time liking the idea of this trip more and more. Something about troy's voice makes things sound better in my ears.

"Just think about it ry" he said. Wait … did he just call me ry? Well well maybe he doesn't hate me as much as I thought.

God I thought I had good will power but clearly all it took for me to cave was troy Bolton to tell me what a great idea it was. Darn you wild cat….

I found myself standing in front of my mirror in nothing but small red underwear you know the kind that every gay man seems to own just to show that they are in fact gay looking at my self. Call me vain but I knew I was good looking I mean not as hot as troy but decent. I know I could date if wanted to but what's the point in dating when I can't share it with the world like I could if it were with a girl the thought of it alone kept me from trying.

A not so subtle cough came from behind me and I turned to find troy standing in my door way " I'm here to grab your luggage" he said smiling

"Oh yeah it's um in the closet" I said blushing a deep shade of scarlet

Troy made his way wordlessly to my closet and retrieved my stuff and then pulled it across the room to the door before turning around " looking good Evans" he said with a wink before walking out

My eyes widened as the gorgeous brunet left my room.
