Chapter 11

Once Gabriella called Sharpay they had decided to meet at Ryan and Sharpay's house. Neither girl knew what would happen once they all got together, they just hoped for the best.

"Hey, Troy, I just got off the phone with Sharpay. She says we can meet them at her house. Are you ok with that?"

"Sure. There's no point in putting off the inevitable. I'm gonna have to face Ryan anyway, so I may as well do it now."

"Everything's going to be alright. You'll see. Once you and Ryan talk and work things out, everything will be ok."

"I hope you're right. I miss hanging out with Ryan. Although, I'm sure now that he knows how I feel about him, I really won't want to have anything to do with me. I can't really blame him."

"I promise you, Troy, Ryan isn't going to react the way you think he is, now come one. I told Sharpay we'd be there in 15 minutes. She was going to order some pizza so we can talk while we eat. Cause, I don't know about you, but I'm starved!"

"Alright, let's go."

Since Ryan and Sharpay's house wasn't too far from the park, they decided to just walk. There was no need to walk all the way back to the school, get her car and drive to their house. Gabi just hoped Sharpay had managed to talk to sense into Ryan. She knew Sharpay knew about Ryan's feelings for Troy by now.

Once they arrived at Ryan and Sharpay's house, Troy knew he couldn't put off talking Ryan for long. He was terrified of how Ryan was going to react to his song and the fact that Troy had major feelings for him.

They didn't have to wait long, because before he even had the chance to knock, Ryan opened the door. Troy just stood there, starring at him. If it wasn't for Gabi grabbing his arm and pulling him in the house, he probably would have stayed out there on their front porch all night.

"Come on, Troy. Don't just stand there. I can smell the pizza and I'm starving."

"Alright already. Calm down. Its not like its going to grow legs and run away."

Troy walked right passed Ryan and into the kitchen where he knew Sharpay was, already eating the pizza.

"Hey, Pay. Gonna save any for us?"

"TROY!! Where have you been? I've been worried sick! So has Ryan! Don't you ever run off like that again, do you hear me?!"

"Geezz, Pay, calm down. You knew exactly where I was. You told Gabi I was in the park, so don't try and act all motherly on me."

"Ok, fine. So, I knew you were in the park. Big deal. You still shouldn't have run out like you did."

"Yes, I did have to run. You saw the look in your brother's eyes. He hates me now more than he did before. I have completely ruined any chance at having him back in my life...as my friend. I mean, how stupid could I have been. Singing that song in front of him! And I just had to listen to you and Gabi! You both talked me into singing it, knowing exactly what was going to happen."

Troy didn't take notice that Ryan and Gabi had walked in behind him. He was to intent on yelling at Sharpay to pay any attention to who else was in the room.

"How could we? Neither of us had ever heard that song! So, don't you stand there and throw accusations out at me! I only want you too be happy! And if my brother makes you happy then what is the problem?"

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me! What's the problem?! How about the fact that your brother is as straight as they come!"

Ryan figured now was as good a time as any to let Troy know he was in the room.

"Um, Troy. That's not exactly true."

Troy jumped at hearing Ryan's voice. He made a move to run again, only to be blocked by Gabriella and Sharpay both.

"Oh, no you don't Troy Bolton! You aren't going anywhere! You and Ryan are going to talk. And I do mean talk! I thought you were smarter than this! Did you not see Ryan crying when you finished your song? What did you think those tears meant? He was shocked, yes, but not mad! Idiot!"

Troy knew Sharpay meant business when she used his last name.

"Now, I want you to turn around and go with Ryan up to his room and talk! Do you understand me? And I had better not see your face until you both have everything worked out! And as for you Ryan Nicholas Evans, you are going to take Troy upstairs and tell him the truth! I want to hear plenty of talking! Got it, now, GO!"

Troy turned and followed Ryan out of the kitchen. He had no idea what to expect. What could Ryan have meant when he said that wasn't exactly true. Ryan couldn't be gay, could he? All he knew was, he sure as hell didn't want Sharpay yelling at him anymore. She was scary when she meant business.

He followed Ryan into his room. Looking around he noticed not much had changed since the last time he was here. Granted, he had been to his house many times over the years, just never anywhere near Ryan's room. While Ryan sat down on his bed, Troy decided to keep his distance and sit in the chair closet to the window. It had always been his favorite place to sit when he was still friends with Ryan.

Back to the kitchen with Sharpay and Gabriella...

"So, do you think they will talk?"

"If I know them like I think I do, Ryan is probably sitting on his bed, waiting for Troy to say something first and Troy is sitting in his chair by the window too afraid to say anything."

Sharpay knew her boys and she knew how things would be going at the moment. She also knew it was going to be a long night. Thank goodness school was cancelled for the rest of the week. There was some kind of stomach virus going around and most of the teachers along with many students were out sick. She planned on keeping Troy there all night if it meant getting them to see the truth. They were in love with each other and were just to blind to see it. She didn't know how she had missed it.

She had almost forgotten Gabi was even there until she spoke to her again.

"Is there any pizza left? I skipped lunch today and I'm starved!"

"Sure, over there on the counter. Help yourself to whatever it is you want."

"Thanks. So, how long do you think they are going to be up there?"

"All night I would reckon. As stubborn as they are, I have a feeling its going to be a long night. I guess for now, its just you and me."

"Cool. Um, Sharpay, I was kinda wondering about something. I know you and I have never really been friends or anything, but after seeing what Ryan and Troy have been going through, I think it would be best if you and I tried to be friends."

"Tried to be? Gabriella, I don't want to try anything. I want to be your friend. Probably more than you know." It was out of her mouth before she knew it. Thankfully, it seemed Gabi hadn't quite got that last part.

Oh, but she had. Inside, she was jumping with excitement.

"Good, because I want us to be friends. Incase you haven't noticed, Ryan is basically the only friend I have. It would be nice to have a girl friend. Uh, I mean, a girl who is a friend." Gabi really hoped Sharpay didn't see her blush.

"Same with me. I don't have a girl friend either..I mean, any girl friends. Crap, I don't have any friends who are girls." Sharpay didn't notice Gabi's blush because she was too busy trying to hide hers.

Sharpay decided to change the subject and fast.

"So, since school's out for the rest of the week and I have a feeling Ryan and Troy are gonna be up there all night, how about we make a thing of it. A sleepover, maybe? Our parents are out of town for the next two weeks, so there won't be any parents around to get in our way."

"Sure, I can stay over. My mom's out of town on business. I was going to stay with Ryan anyway and since Ryan lives here, I guess everything works out."

"Cool. So, I'm gonna run upstairs and tidy up a bit. You don't mind sharing a room with me, do you?"

"Of course not. I'm just gonna walk back to the school and get my car. It has my bags in it. I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Sounds good. I'll check on our boys in a few and see if they're still alive. And I'll let them know both you and Troy will be staying here for the next few days."

"K, see ya in a few."

As Gabi turned and started out the door, she realized the not only was Troy in for a wild ride, it seemed like she was also. What had they gotten their selves into, falling in love with the Evans twins. Only time would tell. She just hoped time was on their side.
