Rated M for Future Chapters. This story will include cheating, heartbreak, and some femflash between Sharpay and Gabriella. This is my first time writing like this, so if this doesn't go well, then forget the story.
Therefore, I will write a Disclaimer. Obviously a lot of you know, I don't own High School Musical, or the characters in it. Behind Closed Doors Lies Sweet Misery is for entertainment purposes only. The concept of this story is pure imagination. None of this has happened before, in my knowledge.
Chapter 1
Gabriella. Who was she to betray who she thought was her only love, Troy Bolton? It was a week she would never forget, and it included Ryan and Sharpay Evans. They were the rich drama kids of the school. They were kids you'd love to hate. But somehow Gabriella Montez, East High's freaky math girl, ended up in a risky situation with both of them. Saturday night at The Evan's Property, Gabriella was sitting on the couch waiting for her lab partner to come out of the shower. Waiting and waiting, she decided to look around the house, and look at a few pics scrambled all over the household.
"Oh Gabriella, you made it!" Ryan said while wrapped in a towel. "I'm sorry for the wait, we need to get started on this project. Let me get dressed." He winked at her, and ran to his room.
She sat back on the couch, and once again waited. They were about to start a new science experiment for AP Chemistry that evening. Still bored, she randomly burst into a song, softly singing to herself. "It's funny when you find yourself looking from the outside. I'm standing here, but all I want is to be over there..."
"I'm back. Why you have a wonderful voice!" Ryan complimented her, and planted a kiss on her cheek. "By the way, welcome to my house! Sorry it's a bit messy. Now where do we begin?"
"Ummm. First of all what topic should we research?" Gabriella said in a whisper. "What about we investigate the reaction of Alka-Seltzer with water in an open system? I've looked into that topic before. Quite interesting I must say."
"Sure, seems nice," Ryan nodded his head, and stood up. "I think I've got some Alka-Seltzers in the cupboards over at the kitchen. Let's go."
Gabriella got up, and followed him into the next room. The kitchen was all nicely decorated. The Evans' were high-maintainenced; everything in the house was made for rich people.
"Here we go," Ryan smiled and handed it to Gabriella. "Say, I have a computer in my room, we could start research right about now! I mean I understand if you don't want to, but you know...it's never too early to plan ahead for projects like these."
"Yeah, sure, I'd love to," Gabriella smiled. "I have to get home by 9, though. So let's make this quick. What about just an overview on the project itself first?"
A few minutes later.
"Gabby, this is getting a bit boring," Ryan laughed. "Let's take a little break. So what's new in your life?"
"Nothing. Just rehearsing for the play and all that jazz, and hanging out with Troy," Gabriella sighed then blushed.
"So Troy? What's he like?" Ryan asked. "He seems like a really cool person. He sure has amazing talent, I can see why you are with him. And you, you're just perfect."
Silence. Complete silence aroused around the room. Gabriella Montez was sitting on Ryan Evan's bed. "I'm only here for the project," she thought. "And nothing else..." Just then Ryan moved closer, and positioned his lips on Gabriella's. She accepted and returned the favor. "What the heck? Why am I doing this? Have I had feelings for him all along?" Gabby thought again. Just then, she turned back, and broke the kiss.
"No, Ryan," Gabby shook her head. "This is completely wrong. I'm here for a science experiment. Not this. I have Troy. I can't do this to him."
"Ohhh, but you did return the kiss," Ryan looked down. "You can't say you weren't feeling the love."
"No. I didn't," Gabriella started to cry, and ran out the door. As she left, the door slammed loudly.
"Geez, Ry!" Sharpay exited her room. "What did you do?"
"Shar, she kissed me. It was pretty intense. She says she didn't enjoy it, but screw her," Ryan said. "...and Troy Bolton."
"Har har, you meant to say you kissed her right, bro?" Sharpay asked. "Dude, stop with it. She doesn't like you, get over it. But I don't blame you, she's pretty darn hot herself."
"Whatever. I forgot you swing both ways," Ryan rolled his eyes, and went back into his room.

The Alka-Seltzer project idea is not owned by me. I did not create that idea. The web address where the experiment came from will be located in my profile soon.
