Ok everyone, this chapter is Troy's point of view.
Disclaimer: Again, I don't own Ryan, or Troy, or Sharpay. If only dreams come true.
Warning: There is a little bit of language.
I wanted to write in Troy's point of view so that the notes could make more sense and the jealous part could be explained.
Earlier That Day
"Troy, what are you doing?" I hear Chad call.
"What?"
I must have dozed off in the library because it seems like schools over.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time for lunch. Wake up already, I wan't to eat!"
You always want to eat Chad.
I stand up just a little to quickly so I grasp the table for support. I guess I must be getting sick or something.
"Troy, are you ok?"
"Um...yeah dude, I'm fine"
"Ok. Hurry up already! The guys want to play a trick on the fairy."
The fairy? Oh, that's Ryan. I don't know why they have to be so cruel to him. I have no problem with gay poeple, but I have a reputation to keep. Well, not really, it's just that Evans makes me feel...nervous. He has something about him...something...weird.
Chad starts to walk off and I follow behind him. I still have no clue what we're going to do to Ryan. I hope it's not something bloody.
We walk to the gym and walk into the locker room. Of course the locker room. No guy, gay or straight, wants to walk in on the jocks planning something.
"Chad, you found Troy!"
"Yeah, he was sleeping in the library."
"Good, ok guys this is what we are going to do."
Everyone starts to huddle around Jason for the plan. Jason was always the one that was the cruelist towards Ryan. He always threw the first punch, and had the last kick. I notice Zeke isn't here. I didn't think he would, beating up his girlfriends brother just because he was gay wasn't a good reason for Zeke. Besides, his brother was gay, so Zeke didn't have a problem with gays. At least he can say no.
"Troy! Are you listening."
"Um...no."
"Well," Jason sighed obviously annoyed. "you're going to ask Evans to sit next to you at lunch."
"But, what if he doesn't go to our table?"
"He will. Sharpay will have the need to grope Zeke, and if Sharpay comes to our table, then her brother will follow. Ok, so your going to have him sit next to you and your going to place your arm around him."
"What!?"
"No, not like that. You're going to stick a note onto his back."
"What note."
"You can make up whatever you want Troy, just make it good. Oh, and don't screw this up."
"Ok." This is the most random, childish, nicest prank the guys have ever played on Ryan. It's definetly better than locking him the a broom closet in the morning and not letting him out till late afternoon.
As the guys leave the locker room, Chad stays behind. "So what are you going to put on the note?"
"Um...I don't know yet."
"Well make it good, we wan't people to be laughing at Evans."
"Ok, I will." As Chad leaves, I start to wonder what I should put on the note. I have to hurry or else I'll miss placing the note on Ryan.
What should I put.
"Beware of the gay?" No, that's just stupid.
"I make guys hot?" That's disgusting.
"Oh please screw me men?" What the fuck was that? That's so lame.
It has to suite Ryan perfectly. It has to reflect how he makes people feel.
I know! Whenever some stares at Ryan they feel something.
Whether they feel anger.
Disgust
Hate
Or jealousy, they feel something.
I know exactly what to put.
Look At Your Own Risk.
That's perfect!
I walk into the cafeteria and instantly see my friends waving at me.
"Hey guys, did I miss Evans?"
"Nope," Jason looks straight ahead and I see Sharpay and Ryan walking towards us."here he comes."
Sharpay stands in front of everyone. "Hey everyone, I'm here."
No duh.
"Hey babe."
"Hey Zekey."
Zekey?
"Hey Ryan."
I look over to Ryan and see he's not surpirsed that Zeke said hi to him. Zeke was always the only one to say hi to Ryan in public.
"Hey Zeke."
Sharpay sits down, but Ryan just stands there. I guess he can't find a place to sit. There's an empty seat right next to me. Why doesn't he sit there?
Oh no, he's walking away. I need to stop him. "Ryan, where are you going?"
He stop dead in his tracks. Obviously he doesn't know I'm talking to him. He turns around slowly to look at me.
"Well...I'm going to go eat lunch somewhere else."
"Why?"
Why doesn't he sit next to me. Can't he see the seats empty?"
"There isn't anywhere to sit."
Yes there is, right next to me.
"Well you can always sit next to me."
I guess he took that as a shock. He starts to walk over to me very catiously, I feel bad for making him feel this way.
As he sits down, I know I have to put the note on him now. As I fling my arm around him, I can feel him stiffen. I think he thinks I'm going to do something to him, and having my friend all laugh isn;t really helping.
He quickly gets up. "Um...I'm going to go now."
"What? You don't like to sit next to me?" I wasn't supposed to say that out loud.
"Well...I have some...homework...that I need to cath up on so...bye."
"Ok. Bye Ryan" I feel kinda bad. I always make him feel so weird around me. I think the fact that he likes me doesn't really help all that much. Yeah, I always see Ryan staring at my clothes, my face, my ass. I sometimes feel him sniff my hair when I punch him in the stomach. I'm not a mean person...it's just that I hang out with mean people. Simple as that.
"Good job dude!" I see Chad smiling at me. At least some people think it's funny.
"Yeah."
"What did you put on the note?"
I turn and look at Sharpay, just in case she was listening. She was too busy making out with Zeke to hear anything.
"Um...I don't remember."
"Well whatever it was, it had to be funny 'cause I can hear people laughing."
How is "Look At You Own Risk" funny?
A couple minutes pass and I just stay quiet. I look around the table and notice all the same people here, well except for Gabriella and Taylor. They are gone at some Geek Wars thing in California. I think it was in San Fransisco. Wait, how long has Kelsi been here? I didn't know she was here. She's like a ninja or something. So, does that mean she knows about the note!?
My eyes widen. If she knows about the note, then she'll tell Ryan. So what if she tells Ryan, it's not like I care or anything...do I care? No, I don't carew if she tells Ryan. Besides, I think she barely got here.
Oh speaking of Ryan, here he comes. Why is he smiling?
"Oh look Troy, Ryan came to give you a kiss for your note."
Everyone starts laughing, including me, even though the joke wasn't that funny.
I find out someone sat next to me and I turn around to see Ryan. "Oh, hey Ryan," I can't stop laughing, "how was your trip to the library?"
"It was nice. Troy your such a great person for letting me sit next to you." He places his arm around me and I can't help but wince. Since when did Ryan have strong arms.
"Um...sure"
"Ok, well I should start heading to clas now. Bye everyone."
What was that all about?
Thye bell rings and I'm off to my class with everybody following me. I guess everyone is proud of me.
"Dude, that was awesome!" Wow, that was really girly.
I have to say something, or else they will get suspicious. "Yeah that was! Stupid little fag never knew what hit him." I try to seem proud but I don't think I did a very good job. No one noticed though.
"Dude, what's that on your back?"
On my back? What is Jason talking about.
I turn and see Chad holding a piece of paper in his hand.
I look at it while he reads it out loud.
"Hi, I'm Troy Bolton and I'm secretly gay.
I masturbate in the shower to the thought of my teammates
And I wish I had the courage to express my gayness to the school
But I'm too much of a bastard to do anything."
I can't believe Ryan wrote this! Wait, what's that? It's a little circle...and inside it says...Ryan Evans loves Troy Bolton. Wait, he loves me? I hope none of the guys see that part. I don't think they did.
"Oh that little bitch is going to get it now." Ha! He sounds like Queen Latifah.
There were many grunts of aproval and the guys set out to find Ryan. They're going to go beat him up, I know that for sure.
I stay behind and stare at the note a little longer. Ryan Evans loves Troy Bolton.
He's a little bitch...no he isn't. I'm not mad.
I hate him!...No I don't. I don't hate him.
Then what do I feel?
I feel jealous. I'm jealous of Ryan Evans, but why?
I'm not jealous of his wealth.
I'm not jealous of his talent.
Then why am I jealous?
I look at the note a little longer. I think I should tear this piece off.
I tear the piece that says Ryan Evans love Troy Bolton off and throw the rest into the trash.
I look at the piece of paper in my hand a little longer...I hope Ryan made it home now. I don't want anything bad to happen to him.
I look at the paper again. Why do I care for him? I don't care. I don't.
I look at the paper again. I stand right next to the trash can and hold the paper over it.
But I don't let it go. Instead I take my wallet out and put the piece on top of Gabriella's photo.
I do care.
A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. If you didn't get why Troy was jealous, it was because Ryan was stronger than Troy. Not physical, but mental. Troy didn't have the strength to say no to his friends and to tell them to leave Ryan alone. It doesn't mean he likes him...yet. It just means that Troy is Ryan's friend. But will it be too late for Ryan when Troy finds him?
