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

It took a little over eight hours to get to Denver which I had surprisingly spent with the group that was constantly changing as we went. As was the agreement troy drove till we entered Colorado and then Chad took over till be got to Colorado Springs leaving Jason to drive the final stretch. And now we where in some go knows where camp sight just outside Denver. I think a huge part of why I had such a great time with the group was because it was constantly changing first troy and Gabi did there time which Gabi backed out of about thirty minutes into complaining clearly they Had had an argument. Then after that Chad drove to Colorado springs and Taylor decided not to join him in driving so I didn't fell so much like the odd men out and the same went with Jason and Kelsey so over all they really were trying to help me fit in.

As for the troy Gabi argument troy didn't say anything about it once he was finished driving not that he said anything at all. But what I found a little bit strange is that I kept catching him glancing at me and it wasn't just a normal glance it was like a soul searching glance like he was really intensely looking for a sign. A sign to what though? All I figured was that he probably wanted to talk, I know that shouldn't make me feel special seeing as how he only wanted to talk to me because he hadn't told anyone else about how he really feels about Gabi but it did it made me feel really special.

I couldn't believe all that time had passed since me and troy had talked earlier in the day it seemed like it had just happened but the clock said otherwise. Once we had gotten to are destination and paid for are lot everyone got to work doing the jobs sharpay designated for them. Gabi and the rest of the girls put away some stuff in the bus and made the beds. While the guys looked for firewood and set up camping chairs. I was one of the chair and table builders so it was no shock that troy also stuck around to help.

I was really beginning to wonder about this boy I mean he went form hating my guts to being my friend to flirting with me. Was he flirting or just joking? I mean I would love if he was but that would mean some stuff and by stuff I mean that would make troy… not straight. The thought of troy being not straight made my heard beat faster. Could that be what it was why he didn't like Gabi anymore why he was flirting with me and why he would constantly give me the sweet and almost lust filled looks?

"Penny for you thoughts?" he said once again snapping me out of my daze

"Ewe no maybe a bill" I responded smiling at him

"I have" he said reaching into his pocket "two tokens from the arcade in down town Albuquerque"

"How can I pass that up it" I said holding out my hand to take the tokens

He dropped one into my hand and smiled at me using his hand to close mine

"I'm saving this one for another time" he said standing closer to me his hand still over mine. For a minute I found my self engulfed in his eyes his beautiful blue gaze which he threw right back at me. his facial expression said everything I needed to know and that was that clearly there was something more between us then we thought but for now this had to end there was no was I was going to get caught in this awkward position. I quickly pulled away and went to grab another chair to unfold.

"So about that thought?" he said clearly drawing the same conclusion as me.

"Yeah um I was just thinking about… why you told me all that stuff earlier"

"I needed someone to talk to ... I thought we already discussed this" he said shrugging

"Yeah but why of everyone one else on that bus did you talk to me?" I was starting to get a little impatient I mean the mixed signals were crazy and like I said obviously there was something between us so why he was beating around the bush and avoiding the question was beginning to irk me a little bit.

"I needed someone on the outside of things someone who might understand more then everyone else would because they are all on the inside of it" she said now sitting in a chair he unfolded

"I guess that makes since "I said sitting down "speaking of all that stuff what was the last fight about?"

"I was driving and she wanted to talk" he said rolling his eyes

"Are you even trying to make it work?" I asked him shaking my head

"Not really no but that's just because I don't want to make it work I really see no point in staying with someone who I don't have feelings for anymore we are growing apart and growing up"

"I guess it just sucks that you realize this the day you decide to go on a road trip with her" I said pointing out the sad irony of the situation

"Ha … no I already knew before I came on this trip" he said laughing

"So why come at all then?" I asked "because what you said earlier about how you only came for Gabi was obviously bull"

"You really want to know the real reason?" he said and I nodded "I wanted to come to hang out with you Ryan to get to know you because I feel like I never gave you a fair shot to begin with"

I blushed at this and turned my head as not have to meet another one of his heart melting gazes.

"That's really nice" I finally said turning back to look at him "I guess I'm sort of a silver lining what with you giving up u of a to go to Berkley to be closer to her"

"Not really he said shrugging once again. My heart sank into my chest clearly I pushed my luck with that comment what would possess me to think that "your better then a silver lining" he then said smiling at me.

Did he really just say that?

"Ryan I want to tell you something I…"

"Guys what you want for dinner?" came Taylor standing at the door of the Winnebago looking over at us

"What ever is good for you" I said smiling at her but inside I was calling her every name in the book for interrupting what troy was about to say

"I've sort of lost my apatite" troy said getting to his face and shrugging.

Taylor gave him and odd look before also shrugging and going back inside

"Ok what was that all about?" I said

"Nothing" he snapped getting to his feet "I'm goanna go find the guys"

Ok where did that come from I didn't do anything and he just treated me like I wasn't even alive. Talk about hot and cold, whatever I don't need to deal with a mood swingy straight boy right now. But I wonder what it was that he wanted to tell me. What ever it was I was in no mood find out now.

Troy didn't talk to me for the rest of the night but instead kept his distance sitting next to Gabi and occasionally kissing her when she didn't expect it. I don't know what it was but every time he did kiss her he came out of it as if it sickened him like it felt wrong or something but that certainly never stopped him from doing it again and responding with the same expression. God this boy was a mystery one Minuit he is talking to me and what seems like flirting and the next he is glaring daggers at me across a camp fire and sticking his tong down his girlfriend's throat.

After one to many beers I found my self stumbling into the bus to go to the bath room and after that I was in no shape to be going outside to drink some more so I jumped onto my bunk and just lay there fully clothed.

"Aren't you going to take off your shoes before you pass out?"

God why every time I find myself alone in contemplation troy Bolton the enigma comes and talks to me " what your talking to me now?"

"I didn't know we weren't talking he said leaning over to look at me

"So I guess you just snap and storm out on all of your friends for doing absolutely nothing" I retorted. I was not about to let troy sweet talk me again.

Troy laughed a little before moving down the little hall and began removing my shoes. What the hell was he doing? Why in the world was he taking off my shoes? I mean not that I didn't like troy taking care of me in my drunken state but he was definitely crossing boundaries I wasn't comfortable with him crossing.

"Can you stop that please?" I said bluntly

"I don't want you sleeping with your shoes on" he said just as blunt

"Since when have you cared about what's best for me troy?"

"This again really?" he said standing up fully and crossing his arms "Ryan about earlier I'm sorry I snapped I just have a lot on my mind and I was mad at myself for unloading on you making my problems your problems"

"Well there was no need for it I didn't do anything and you made me feel like shit all night" I said angrier then I was showing.

Troy frowned and did the one thing I was not excepting. Troy sat down on my bunk and began to sob into his hands

"What's wrong?" I said sitting up and putting an arm around him.

" I just feel trapped like god why did I come on this trip why did I think even trying to make things work was a good idea?" he cried now into my shoulder.

"It's not as complicated as your making it "I said rubbing his back.

"You don't know the half of it"

"Well I'll always be here to talk and to hang out with I'm more alone then anyone most of the time" I said smiling weakly at him

He returned the smile and wiped his eyes "god I wish I had given you a chance so ling ago instead of treating you like shit you an awesome guy" he said resting his head on my shoulder "thanks for being there"

"No problem and as for not giving me a chance before there's always September like you said you need a room mate" I said smiling

"Are you serious?" troy said getting to his feet and then grabbing my hand and pulling me to mine. Troy then got down on one knee and grabbed my hand. I began to feel a little awkward. "Ryan Evans I know I didn't see eye to eye before and we had differences" he said laughing as he did so "but these last few days have opened up my eyes to how awesome of a person you really are Ryan will you be my room mate?"

"I'd love to" I said putting my hand over my heart. Troy stood up and grabbed me around the waste and took me into a bear hug.

"You have made me the happiest soon to be freshman in the world" he said laughing at the humorous situation. He then picked me up and twirled me around.

Are eyes connected and he stopped twirling me but still kept his arms around my waste as we just looked into each others eyes.

"Bed?" I said after who knows how long of stand there looking at his eyes.

Troy let go of me and smiled "yeah I'm beat you as tired as I am?" he said taking off his shirt and dropping it beside his bunk. I couldn't help but stair at troy's chest. It could well be the eighth wonder of the world as far as I'm concerned. He was perfectly chiseled and tanned the only hair was a trail of dark brown leading down his pants which he just as quickly digaurded from his body. He was wearing tight white boxer briefs over his muscular legs and manhood which as far as I could see left quite a bulge.

"Are you just going to stand there or are you goanna go to bed?" troy asked snapping me out of yet another daze

I nodded and then made my way to my bunk. Troy got into his and pulled his covers up and I shed my cloths down to my little red underwear and quickly got under my covers.

"Good night Ryan" troy said yawning

"Night troy" I said just staring at the beautiful by in the bed beside me.
