Hide and Seek: Living Children's Rhymes

Ryan's POV

"Gabi and Ryan sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Gabriella and I broke apart, breathless, and looked at the rest of the group taunting us. I intertwined my fingers with hers as she blushed and giggled. The funny thing was that this elementary rhyme was one hundred percent true, even the tree part.

TO MY FLASHBACK(MORE LIKE 10 MINUTES AGO)

"I'm bored!" Sharpay whined for the umpteenth billionth time. For the past fifteen minutes we had been sitting around in lawn chairs in my yard, staring awkwardly at each other. I glared at my sister.

"Sharpay, whining about it won't make it any better." I snapped back. It was ridiculously hot and her complaining and the heat were beginning to get to me.

"Well, I don't see you looking for something for us to do!" she retorted.

"WELL, you shot down everyone of my ideas ten minutes ago!" I yelled back.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Geek!"

"Witch!"

"Moron!"

"Ugly!"

"Shut up!" An unexpected voice interrupted our yelling. It was an obviously embarrassed, but annoyed Gabriella. Sharpay and I backed down and returned to our seats. All was quiet again and I glanced around the circle till my gaze stopped at Gabi. Her cheeks were still tinted pink from her previous outburst. How could it be possible, I thought to myself, to like someone so much that barely notices you?

"I've got it!" Chad exclaimed making me jump and quickly avert my gaze to the ground. "How bout we play Hide and Seek?"

"What are we? Five?" Sharpay shouted across the circle. Everyone shot daggers in her direction.

"I'm all for it!" Gabriella laughed. If she was in, so was I.

"Me too!" I shouted, a little too quickly, and a little too loud. The daggers morphed into confused glances that were now focused on me.

"Oh fine then, I'll play too." Sharpay grumbled folding her arms across her chest.

"Count me in!" Troy and Taylor agreed at the same time.

"Okay then, but, I'm…..NOT IT!" Chad yelled. A chorus of "not its" echoed around the circle and the only person who hadn't said anything was my sister.

"What?" she questioned looking at all of us, her face quickly forming a frown as she caught on. "I'm gonna kill you all. Just go hide!" An irritated tone filled her voice. "1…2…3" The gang jumped out of their chairs and we sprinted around my yard looking for the perfect hiding places.

I ran to the base of my favorite climbing tree. This was perfect. There was no way Sharpay would find me here. Quickly and quietly I scaled the base of the tree to a set of branches obscured by a bunch of leaves. I could still see everyone scrambling around the yard. Suddenly the leaves began to rustle, I had a visitor.

"Gabriella!" I hissed. "What are you doing?!"

"Hiding, what are you doing?" she whispered back. Although I was a little annoyed, I was kinda glad to see her in my tree. Like the gentleman I was, I held out my hand to help her up to the last branch. A shiver ran through me as we both looked down at our joint hands and dropped them…fast.

"Well, I thought I was hiding. But apparently I didn't hide all that well considering you found me and Sharpay is still counting." She laughed.

"20! Ready or not, here I come!"

"I take that back."

"And so the game begins!" Gabriella whispered to me excitedly.

"Yep!" Yep? That's all you can think of Ryan? Smooth move.

"Soo, what is there to talk about while your playing hide and seek, hiding in a tree?"

"Uh, I don't now." I shrugged my shoulders peering out of a hole in the leaves as Sharpay frantically searched the yard. We looked at each other awkwardly once more.

"How's Drama Club?" she started looking at her feet, trying to make conversation.

"It's okay, Sharpay is being overbearing as usual." I still couldn't believe she was trying to talk to me, she never had before.

"Ah, one would figure as much." Silence returned as we looked again through the same hole in the leaves. This time instead of just my twin running around, she had Taylor, Chad and Troy with her, we were the only ones left. I looked over at Gabriella who was watching the madness below. This was it. I definitely needed to tell her my "secret," I mean how many other times would you be in a tree, alone, with the girl you've liked forever?

"Gabriella?"

"Yeah?"

"I—um—just wanted to say…I like you," I blurted out, "a lot." Probably since the first time I met you, but not in a creepy stalker way, just in a I never had the guts to say so way. I—just—I…" Embarrassed, I stopped speaking and looked at her. The problem was I couldn't read her expression. She just sat there, looking at me, her face in a mix of surprise and shock. "Who am I kidding," I began again, "You don't like me, this was so stupid." What I didn't hear was Gabriella trying to get my attention. "I don't deserve you, I…" She interrupted me by pulling me by my shirt towards her, pressing her lips against min. I returned the kiss as she wrapped her arms around me before pulling away.

"Ryan, I was trying to say shut up!" she giggled. I smiled and pulled her in for another kiss. What I didn't realize was that everyone was looking up the tree at that time.

NOW THAT YOU'RE CAUGHT UP…TO THE PRESENT

I climbed out of the tree, pausing to hold my arms out to Gabi to help her down. The gang surrounded her and I applauding us. Looking over at my new girlfriend I smiled.

"So that's what you talk about while playing hide and seek, hiding in a tree, huh?" she asked laughing.

"Yep," I grinned slyly. "Wanna go finish our conversation?" She grabbed my hand and we ran back to our tree.
