Chapter Two

Ryan's P.O.V

When my dad dropped me off in the morning in front of East High, I decided that today was going to be an immense pain. When I saw everyone dressed in there red and white outfits and their face covered in face paint, it became an assurance. I grabbed my backpack from the car and walked down the wet pavement to the school. Sharpay had decided to take the car and give Zeke a ride to school. In other words, I had no ride. Therefore, that is how I ended up in the car with my dad to this hell hole I call school.

Today was not a normal day at east high. It was spirit day. The day for the cheerleaders to take over the school with there preppy dances and exotic poems. So here, I am in a red shirt and plain not white pants. I seriously thought about boycotting this spirit day, but decided not to just to be safe. I glanced around to see if at least one person wore something other than red or white but no one. I guess everybody loves to get into the spirit of things

"Ryan" Sharpay called. "So what do you think"

She turned around revealing her red and white outfit. She was wearing a red skirt with a white top. Her hair was in red streaks and tied back. She was wearing Zeke's basketball jacket, and frankly I hated it.

"It looks good" I lied. However, I wasn't going to say that to her.

"You think so" she said. She turned around one more time. "Perfect now come on, I want to see Mrs. Darbus quickly before class starts" So here I am following her around like a dog, again.

The rest of the day was awful. First, I had to wander around searching for coach Bolton's office, only to find out he was not even in his office. Mrs. Darbus wanted me to deliver a rehearsal schedule between the musical and basketball practices, which meant I had to face crabby basketball players who looked at me as if I had no right being down in the gym. Coach Bolton just motioned me to sit down on the bleachers and he will look at it later. I could not go with out a response from him, so I had to wait and miss drama.

When the period was over I still had to wait for him, because se was talking to Troy.

"Sorry about that, its just we were practicing, we have a match coming up soon," Coach said.

"It was no problem," I said. Lie, big problem. I missed my favorite class.

"Well the schedule looks okay. Tell Mrs. Darbus that everything is fine" I nodded. "Of course, thanks" I said politely, and I quickly left the gym. Gee all that wait to tell Mrs. Darbus 'everything was fine'. What a waste of time.

It was 12:40, lunch started 10 minutes ago, I was hungry and I still had to go see Mrs. Darbus. Ryan walked by the Boy's Change room and out walked Troy Bolton.

"Ryan what are you doing here?" He asked.

"Walking back to Drama, where I can drop of this schedule, which is revolved around you"

"oh, well do you need so company"

I rolled my eyes. What kind of question is that?

"No, not really"

"oh" he was silent for a while.

"Well, I am on my way to the drama room to"

"Good for you" I said sourly.

We walked in silence for a while until Troy spoke up.

"Ryan can I ask you a question"

"No but I bet you're going to"

"Why do you always were those hats, and why is it that you always match your sister."

I look at him strangely.

"Uh, because, I feel like it"

"Are you happy?" he said from out of the blue

"Yes of course I am happy"

"Are you sure, you seem upset"

"what's with the random questions?"

"I was just wondering" he stopped talking for a while. We were not even there yet and he struck up with another conversation. "Are you going to the dance tonight?"

Ryan wanted to scream. Couldn't Troy get the hint that he did not feel like talking.

"No"

"Why not"

"Because, I don't feel like it."

"Are you sure that's why, or is it because you don't have a date"

What was his problem

"What the hell is your problem. Out of nowhere, you confront me about the stupidest things. I where hats because I think they are cool, Yes I am happy, I am not going to the dance, and no I don't have a date."

I decided to leave the Sharpay part out. He did not need to know that I follow her trend as much as I follow her around.

"Anything else?" I asked rudely.

Troy P.O.V.

I felt bad for Ryan; I could tell he was miserable, unhappy, depressed. He just didn't seem to want my help. However, for some strange reason the more he shoved me away the more I wanted to help him.

"Ryan, come to the dance you can hang out with Gabriella and I"

"No, I'll pass on that offer, but thanks".

Both of us stopped in front of the drama room.

"Well, I came here to look for Kelsi." I said. I looked over at Ryan, beneath that cheerful face; there was a distressing boy, I could just tell. "Ryan, please think over the offer. Gabriella and I would love to have you there."

I knew he would not show up. Yet, some part of me wished he would. At least now, he knows I do not hate him; even though he hates me.

"Troy hurry up, I don't want to miss any second of it" Gabriella said. She was waiting for me outside. I was her date to the dance obviously, but for some reason I was not as happy as she was to be going to this dance.

We could hear the music even before we got there. The band was supposed to be a good one; It was definitely a loud band. I was hoping Ryan would be there, I did not get my hopes up though. We passed by Chad and Taylor, and Zeke and Sharpay. For once, Ryan was not attached to Sharpay. The principal was there monitoring the dance, along with several other teachers.

Apparently, they were not doing such a good job, because suddenly above the music, we heard a scream from the parking lot. Immediately everyone started running out there to see what was happening, including Gabriella and I. There were people there who looked a shock, a few that looked sad, and a few that looked amused.

"Ryan, that's right.Someone just beat him up" one girl said.

Ryan, Ryan Evans. Instantly I pushed my way through the crowed to see what the damage was. Sure enough, Ryan was hurt. He was lying on the ground unconscious. Sharpay rushed in to see what happened. When she saw her brother lying on the ground she started crying into Zeke's arms. I stared at Ryan. This was my entire fault. I was the one who encouraged Ryan to come to the dance, and because of that, he was injured.

"Who did this, who did this to him?" Sharpay screamed.

No one answered. I just looked at Ryan, knowing that his wound wasmy mistake.

And thats the chapter. Sorry if you don't like it. Like I said, I don't really like wither. But please don't stop reading this story. The next chapters better. I just wanted to get this chpater up. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review. The last reveiws made me so happy. I loved them so much.

Thank you
