Author's Note: Welcome back. Last time, Kelsi revealed her secret (being on the decathalon team once), and chatted about Troy a little bit. This chapter features Jason, and he'll be talking about Ryan (for the most part). Please enjoy, and please review.

Disclaimer: I don't own High School Musical. If I did, Martha'd have had characterization.


I've always been the one who sees things differently.

And different's not bad.

At least, I thought it wasn't.

But the whole school seems to be up in arms over Troy and Gabriella.

They say it's not their thing.

They say that singing in the theatre belongs to Ryan and Sharpay.

They say it's different.

I say it's cool.

I've never heard them sing, but they got a callback.

That must mean they're good.

As good as the Evans twins.

And nobody's been as good as them for...

Well, nobody's been as good as them.

Them.

Everyone sees them as them.

As two.

Never one plus one.

But I see it differently.

I see:

Blonde hair, layered, brushed to within a millimeter of perfection.

Blond hair, hidden underneath a hat for none to see.

Blonde hair, like a cascading waterfall.

Blond hair, sticking up in all directions.

Hat on his desk.

Hands over his eyes.

I made sure to take the picture with the silencer on and the flash off.

I see things differently because I see them preserved.

I don't look at the big picture.

I look at little ones.

From moment to moment.

I see two when others see one.

I don't know much.

But I know what I see.

I see things that may surprise people.

Things that are different.

And I don't think that's so bad.
