Ladies and Gentlemen CHAPTER 7!

Chad looked at Ryan for a second, his face in shock at what just
happened. "That was..." Ryan stopped his sentence with another peck on the
lips and then started walking away with a huge smile on his face.

(I can't believe I just kissed Chad Danforth...and in the middle of the
lunch room at that.) He looked down at his feet as he walked, nervous
about who saw it, but unable to stop smiling.

"Hey..." His eyes followed Ryan as the blonde boy walked out of the
cafeteria. (That boy is seriously weird...I mean way to kiss and run.) Chad
started walking towards the gym. (I have to find Troy.) He couldn't wait
to tell his best friend what just happened. ( I wonder why Ryan walked
away.)

"Hey Ryan, what's up?" Kelsi walked up to her locker. "You look happy, did
something happen?"

"Yeah, I guess you can see that," Ryan looked at Kelsi, his eye's shining,
his smile crossing his whole face. "I kind of...kissed Chad Danforth in
the cafeteria."

"You did what?" Kelsi laughed a little. "Wow...thats awesome Ryan...how
did you get the guts?"

"Well actually, it wasn't that hard to do." He reached into his locker,
grabbing his math book for his next class. "I think he was trying to ask
me out...but he was too shy so... I don't know, it just kind of happened.
I was listening to him, he was pausing alot and you can tell he was
very nervous. Then my eyes saw his lips and I just had to know what they
taste like. I almost didn't do it though. He was walking away and I
grabbed his arm and thats when our lips met." Ryan's heart fluttered as he
thought of the kiss. "It was amazing Kelsi."

"I'm proud of you Ryan...I really am. That had to take some guts...and
you did it in the middle of the lunch room at that. How many people do
you think saw you?" She looked a little worried.

"I don't know, I guess the table next to us probably saw it." He looked
down at his feet and let out a chuckle. "And I think I saw a boy spit
the bite he was chewing out. That was kind of funny"

"Just be careful now though, You never know with people, that could get
you beaten up and I don't wanna see you hurt...okay?"

"Yeah, I know...thanks Kelsi. It means alot that you care."

"So...are you and Chad like a couple now?" Kelsi asked, curiousity
burning through her. "I mean you two did kiss."

"Actually, I don't know, we kissed and I walked away." He let out another
small chuckle. "I don't even know why I walked away"

Chad walked into the gym and smiled as he saw Gabriella and Troy
kissing on the bleachers. (Ha, I knew it was just a matter of time before
they
got together. I mean it was obvious that they liked each other.) "Hey
you two get a room"

Troy looked up, when he saw Chad, his pinks turned the darkest sade of
red you could imagine. "Um...hi, Chad...where is Ryan?"

"Probably getting ready for his next class...Oh, and by the way you
two...I hate you. Leaving me alone with him."

"Did it go that bad?" Gabriella had a worried expression on her face.
"Did you two fight or something. You didn't call him a drama geek did
you?"

"Why is it always my fault? What if he would have said something that
offended me?" Chad laughed a little. "And no, it went excellent...it went
better then excellent...but I don't think we are together yet."

"What man...why not?" Troy smiled at his friend knowing something did
happen.

"Well he kissed me," Chad glanced up as the two in front of him both
laughed when they heard him. "And then...he walked away."

"What, he walked away...why did he do that?" Gabriella asked

"You know I have no clue. I'll talk to him after school, maybe we can
walk to my house and talk. Then I can have my mom give him a ride to the
hospital." Chad started walking towards the gym exit again. "But first I
need to make sure he can walk home with me."

"Yeah, good luck man...and ask him out dammit, you both like each
other...I mean he kissed you. How much more proof do you need?

Chad opened the door and looked back at Troy. "Yeah, I know...I will if
he can walk home with me...on second thought...I will even if he can't
walk home with me." He walked out of the gym to start his search for the
flamboyant blonde boy.

"So, are you going to ask him out Ryan?" Kelsi asked as her and Ryan
walked to class together.

"I don't know...I really like him, but I don't see how it could work."

"What do you mean you don't see how it could work? You two are perfect
for each other." Kelsi looked at Ryan, a schocked look on her face.

"HEY RYAN!" Chad ran up to him. "How are you getting home...or to the
hospital...wherever you are going after school?" Chad looked over at
Kelsi smiling. "Oh...Hi Kelsi."

"Hey Chad," Kelsi smiled at the jock and started walking away. "I'll see
you in class Ryan."

Ryan waved, "Okay, I will talk t you later Kelsi." Then he turned his
attention to Chad. "I was actually going to ask Troy for a ride to the
hospital. Why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to walk to my house after school...then
we can have my mom give you a ride to the hospital."

"Oh...yeah that would be awesome." Ryan smiled at Chad and then looked
down at his shoes as a feeling of guilt crossed over him for just
walking away after the kiss.

"Oh and one more question," now Chad was looking at his shoes obviously
nervous. "Will you..." Chad took a few deep breathes, "be my boyfriend?"
He almost said the last three words too fast, but Ryan heard them clear
enough.

Ryan smiled as he looked into Chad's eyes, "Chad, I would love to be
your boyfriend." He kissed Chad softly. "I have to get to class...I'll see
you after schoo.l" His hearts was jumping in his chest. He really wanted
to skip and scream and yell, he was so happy.

"Yeah, I'll see you after school." Chad turned around about head to class
before he decided he needed to kiss Ryan one more time. He reached his
hand out and grabbed Ryan's. "Do you mind if I walk you to class?"

"Ryan let his hand slip into Chad's, his smile plasered on his face, he
never thought it would leave. "Of course you can." The two started
walking hand in hand towards Ryan's math class, when the boy that spit up
his lunch stepped in front of them.

"We don't want you here," he stated matter of factly.

"We?" Chad asked when he only saw one person in front of him. "Listen
kid, I don't even know who you are, so just go away"

"No...we don't want your kind here. We don't need any faggots in our
school."

"Faggots?" Ryan glared at the kid. "Is that all you can come up
with? Do you need help coming up with better insults? I can name a few if
you want."

Chad let out a little laugh. "Yeah, the word faggot is extremely over
used. Why can't you get a little more creative?"

The boy just glared at them as they walked past him laughing. "I'm
going to get rid of them... We don't need them in our school."

Chad looked back at the boy, still laughing. "Wow that was
interesting... It's our first day and we are already being harrassed...
Well, I think he
tried anyway."

Ryan smiled, he really didn't care what that kid said. As far as Ryan
was concerned, he was happy with who he was and he was happy with who he
had as a boyfriend.
