Disclaimer: Don't own it. End of story. Get over it.
Ryan Evans strolled through East High School happily.
He had one thing on his mind and that was the fact that today was his day, today was the day he was going to ask Gabriella Montez, the eleventh grade's super genius girl, out.
He kept procrastinating all day, he told Sharpay he was going to do it right before lunch.
That time came and went.
No date yet.
Then he told Kelsi he was going to try again in between gym and sixth period.
Let's just say, nothing happened.
Finally, right after the last school bell rang, Jason got fed up.
"Look dude, you are going to walk right up to Gabriella and ask her out, do you have a game plan?" he asked
Ryan nodded, "I've had this planned out for weeks! You know how Gabriella knows full Spanish? Well I looked it up in our Spanish book, and I'm going to ask her out in Spanish."
"Can I use that idea when you are done with it?" Jason asked
"No" Ryan said, giving him a "WTF?" look.
Ryan took a deep breath and walked up to Gabriella.
"Hey Gabriella." He said
"Hey" she replied
"¿Dormirá usted conmigo?"
Gabriella's jaw dropped as she raised her hand and slapped Ryan across the face.
Ryan saw Jason busting out laughing a few lockers down and shot him a glare.
"How dare you Ryan! I didn't think you were like that, but you obviously have been hanging around Troy and his boys way too long and they've changed you way too fast! Bye Ryan." She said, her face still red from a combination of a blush and anger.
Ryan's jaw fell this time, looking at the petite girl storming away from him and then looking at his friend, confused.
"Jason, what in the hell did I just ask her?" he said
Jason shook his head, still in a fit of laughter, pointing down at the book.
Ryan turned a dark shade of pink and grimaced.
"Oooh, that's not good." He said, "Not good at all."
"Nah dude, it's priceless." Jason asked, "You aren't even dating the girl and you walk up to her and ask her to…"
"Yeah, Jason, I know." Ryan said, "I guess I'll try again tomorrow."
"That is if she'll speak to you." Jason said
"Shut up." He said, shoving his friend against one of the lockers and walking off.
The next day, Ryan came to school prepared for anything. If she didn't talk to him he'd write it down and cram a note in her locker, if she would, he'd ask.
He slowly approached Gabriella's locker the next day as she put her supplies in her book bag.
"Hey Gabriella."
Gabriella gave him a look and then smiled, "Hi Ryan."
"Later." He said
"You too." She replied
That day right before lunch he and Jason met at the same place where the accident went down yesterday.
"Are you ready?" Jason asked
"Yeah, let's just hope I don't do something worse today." He said
"Oh, that's not possible." He replied
"Good luck, dude." Jason said
Ryan then turned and walked to Gabriella's locker.
"Hey Gabriella, can I talk to you?" he asked
"Sure." Gabriella replied nervously.
Ryan exhaled, "¿Cantará usted conmigo?"
Gabriella smiled at the boy, "I'm sorry Ryan, I'm not auditioning this time around, or else I'd be happy to sing with you, bye."
As soon as she got out of view, Ryan slammed his head on the locker.
Jason came up behind him, "What did you do this time?"
"I asked her to sing with me!!!" he exclaimed
"Ask her in English dude, it'll be much easier on your part." He said
"I know, but I want to impress her, English will not impress her." Ryan said, "I guess we'll try this again tomorrow."
The next day, first thing he walked in and walked over to Gabriella's locker.
"Gabriella, ¿Pasará usted una fecha conmigo?" he sighed
Gabriella smiled widely at him, "Sí, sería feliz también"
Ryan's eyes widened, "You said, yes, what did I ask you?"
"What you've been trying to ask me all along. You wanted to ask me out." She smiled
"How did you know?" he said
"Because I'm the freaky genius girl, remember." She replied jokingly
"Yeah." Ryan sighed
"Oh, and only you would be the one to try to impress me like that, so I knew what you were doing after I thought about what you asked me the first time." She smiled, "So what do you say, El viernes en siete treinta?"
"What?" Ryan said, helplessly
"Friday, at seven thirty." She smiled
"Si"

I had a ton of fun writing that one! I hope you guys enjoyed reading it- I owe you translations.
¿Dormirá usted conmigo? (Will you sleep with me?)
"¿Cantará usted conmigo?" (Will you sing with me?)
¿Pasará usted una fecha conmigo?" (Will you go on a date with me?)
"Sí, sería feliz también (Yes, I'd be happy to.)
And of course the last bit she said "Friday at seven-thirty."
Later!,
