Anyways. Here's Chapter 5.

Completely Fake

Chapter Five

RYAN'S POV.

Isat in the drivers seat ofmy car. My hands were sweating from gripping the drivers wheel so hard.I was parked outside Troy's house, debating weather or notI should go inside. Would Troy's friends except me. Had Troy told his friends what happened. Who was this person Troy wanted me to meet. I can't even play basketball. If I went I would just make a fool of myself.

I pulled the lever to reverse, pushed the gas pedal and drove away from Troy's house. I didn't want to see him.

"You know, a close friend of mine once told me that skipping stones was the best way to get rid of stress."

I jumped when I heard a familiar voice. I had been down at the lake skipping stones for about an hour. I know, not exactly more thrilling then being at Troy's house.

"Sharpay, why aren't you on your date with Zeke"

"He had to cancel, he's sick," She said moving closer to where I was. "What's wrong?"

I sighed. How did she always new when I was upset. "I don't know, everything's just so confusing right now"

"This wouldn't have to do with a certain Troy Bolton, would it"

"How did you know?"

"I saw you guys kissing in the hospital," Sharpay admitted

I didn't answer her. However, she knew she was right.

"Listen Ryan if you really like him then don't hide it. Stop hiding behind a mask all the time."

"I can't, I'm scared," I admitted.

"It's okay, everyone gets scared at times. Sometimes, you just have to dive in and don't worry about the consequences." She said quietly.

There was a long silence where we both stared at the moon shining of the lake.

"Sharpay, what if what if he doesn't like me? What if Troy is only pretending for some sick amusement."

I waited for her to respond, but she didn't. Instead, a familiar voice responded.

TROY'S POV.

"Wait, you were the one who beat Ryan up at the party on Friday?" I asked.

David grinned a cocky grin.

"Yeah, but if you ask me, he had it coming"

My eyes widened in shock. Everyone around me looked confused.

"What are you talking about, what had Ryan ever done to you" "Well, I mean he's gay"

"Wait, Ryan Evans is gay?" Chad asked interrupting the conversation.

"Obviously, do you see the shirts he wears? No normal straight guy would wear those clothes"

I rolled my eyes. Does this guy even know what he's talking about.

"So that's your only judgment. Because he wears different clothes"

"Well yeah" he shrugged.

"You can't judge someone by what clothes they wear" Chad said defensively.

"So Ryan, isn't gay after all"

"You don't know that for sure," I said quietly. Chad looked at me strangely.

"Well not with all the facts first" I said careful not to blow his cover.

"Take it from me" David said "Ryan Evan's is gay. And people who are attracted to the same sex as themselves, should be punished."

I stared at him in disbelief.

"David, I think you should leave. Now."

David chuckled a little and looked around at everyone. They were all glaring at him. He didn't say anything more before he left.

"I'm sorry guys but I have to go" I said once David left. "If Ryan comes could you tell him I went out."

Everyone nodded. I had to go find David and give him a piece of my mind.

As I drove by the lake I saw a recognizable person sitting on the dock. I parked my car and walked up to him.

"Sharpay, what if what if he doesn't like me? What if Troy is only pretending for some sick amusement."

I heard him say. I smiled. I would recognize that voice anywhere.

"Because I'm not the actor, you are," I said quietly. Ryan jumped and turned around. I could see he had been crying. His eyes were red, and there were tearstains on his cheeks.

"Troy. How long have you been stadning there?"

"Long enough. Ryan I've liked you for a while," I said taking a seat next to him. "I just wouldn't admit it to anyone. Not even myself. Then when Gabriella came in to the picture, she was such a good friend to me. I thought maybe I could force myself to like her so I wouldn't have to worry about being gay. Then I realized you can't run from who you are. So I broke up with her, and fell for someone new."

Ryan laughed lightly. "So this isn't just a dare"

"no, not at all. I really like you Ryan"

"Up until Friday, I thought I hated you" Ryan said softly. "Then, after one kiss my hate for you just disappeared" he didn't look at me when he said that. I could tell he was blushing. It must be hard for him to confess something like this.

"Ryan, do you know David Miller?" I asked not knowing what his reaction might be. Ryan's face turned white. He didn't answer, at least not right away.

"He was Sharpay's boyfriend, a couple years back." He said plainly. I knew there was more to who David was. You just didn't beat your ex-girlfriends brother for no reason.

"Ryan, I know he was the one that hurt you on Friday. Why don't you just tell me the truth"

"I can't" He yelled. "I just can't" He sounded like he was about to cry. I felt terrible for him.

"He was the guy I wanted you to meet".

A loud sob came from Ryan. I had never seen Ryan this way. He was always so happy. Always smiling, or in some cases just rude. But this, this side I've never seen before. It made me feel so guilty. By some means, this is my fault. He wouldn't be here crying his eyes out, if I hadn't kissed him on Friday. He wouldn't be this upset. He would be the normal Ryan, the happy Ryan.

"Ryan... if you ever need anything. I'm here for you okay." I said putting an arm around him. He looked up at me with his red eyes. Even when his eyes are bloodshot, the still looks attractive. I moved in closer to him and kissed him. I could feel his tears running from his cheek. I didn't care. I knew that if anyone from school saw me right now kissing Ryan, I would never hear the end of it. But I didn't care. At that moment, the only thing I cared about was Ryan.

A/N: So there it is. Its a little mushy but not to mushy. I'll update sooner now that the weekend and stuff is over. Please review. I'll write faster. Again thanks for the reveiws. I loved them.
