Dear Mr. Ocean Eyes
A few years later... Zeke is in high school. He's been secretly chasing Ryan, while pretending to chase Sharpay. It's really easy honestly. All he has to do is tell Sharpay what he wishes he could tell Ryan. Usually it's something like, 'you're talented!' or 'you're beautiful'. It's easy to say because he thinks Sharpay is beautiful, but not in that way.
If Zeke could talk to Ryan, he knows what he would say: "I think you're so talented and funny. You're such a nice person. You're a genuinely good person. You're beautiful. I love you." But he can't say those things to him. He can barely hang out with him. Ryan used to always be around Sharpay in 9th, but now that they're in 10th, Ryan isn't around Sharpay much. He hangs around with Gabriella and Taylor a lot now.
Maybe it's those fucking blue eyes. So innocent and deep. They remind Zeke of the ocean. The color they are. Light blue. The most beautiful color Zeke has ever seen. Not the light blue you see on crayons, or anywhere really. It's so beautiful and unique, just like Ryan is. Zeke would sometimes imagine Ryan's eyes beaming up at him, but it only happened once for a split second. Even though, it left Zeke thirsting for more. He never wanted eye contact so much. (Usually he avoided it)
At school on Monday, Zeke was by his locker. He had baked some cookies for Sharpay, but he had a plan. Hopefully it would work. When Sharpay was walking down the hall (by herself) Zeke made his move. "Hey Sharpay!" He exclaimed. "I baked you some cookies again!"
Sharpay smiled and took them. "Thanks Zeke! Oh, and I have to cancel on that date I promised you."
"That's ok." Zeke replied. "Enjoy the cookies! It's your favorite, chocolate chip." He cleared his throat and hesitantly said the last part: "And can you let Ryan try one? I would want to see if he likes them." He said.
Sharpay nodded and took a deep bite of the cookies. "Mmmm..." She hummed. "These are so good!" She turned to Zeke. "Do I have to let him try one?"
"Just one?" Zeke asked as he hoped Sharpay would consider.
Sharpay sighed. "I guess since there's 6, I'll let him try one."
"Thanks!" Zeke said as he started to walk away. He was super happy that Ryan will finally get to taste one of the things he baked. He couldn't wait, but he had to. He thought about it in class. He thought about it through free period work out. He thought about about it through Home Ec. It was like when your watching a movie and something happens that you're on the edge about, waiting for the outcome.
Then finally it happens and you're relieved.
Zeke was walking out the school at the end of the day to go home, when Ryan stopped him. "Hey Zeke!" He said.
Zeke's heart started beating as the butterflies in his stomach woke up. "Ryan's here!" They would scream in excitement as they would jump around and do backflips making Zeke more nervous. His palms start to sweat, and he couldn't breathe. "Hey Ryan!" He forced himself to say after the butterflies in his stomach finished break dancing, and started jump roping.
"The cookies you baked for Shar were delicious!" He said with a smile. "I heard you could bake, but I didn't know you could bake that good! You're so freaking talented!" He gushed.
'Ok Zeke, just keep your cool'. He told himself. "Thanks. Glad you liked them."
Ryan looked straight into Zeke's eyes and it was like in movies when the crush looks at the main character and everything goes all romantic with the love song playing in the background. "Can you teach me the recipe?! I would love to bake! Especially when I could learn to bake as good as good as you!"
Oh fuck. Ryan basically asked Zeke to hang out with him! "Sure!" He exclaimed. "I m-mean... sure. Why not. It's cool." He should really shut up, so he does.
Ryan smiled at Zeke like he told him to say, 'cheese!' and turned to leave. "Cool! I'll see you later! Tomorrow sound good?"
Zeke nodded and put his thumb up. "Yeah."
"Ok, nice!" Ryan said. "See you then." He finally walked away.
Zeke smiled to himself as he made his way to his car. Michael always said gay was wrong, and gay means liking the same gender as yourself, so does that mean Zeke is gay and wrong? But Zara says it's ok to be gay. But how would she know? She has a boyfriend named Adrian. Zeke was still confused. Is gay ok or wrong? Why isn't anyone else gay? Is Ryan gay? But... He gets to hang out with Ryan. On a date! Even though no one actually called it one... a date is where you and another person go some where to hang out.
He and Ryan are going to hang out in a kitchen and bake. It's a date!
To be continued...
