Chapter 6

"Whatever happened to we're all in this together?" Gabriella asked openly to everyone else she then walked away in grave disgust. The fat hip hop girl bounced over and started to break right there.

"Ew, let's go somewhere less, ew," Sharpay complained staring at the fat hip hop girl. "You are in the midst of a personality crisis…" She walked over to the other side of the hallway. The bell rang and everyone scurried back to their homerooms, except for Sharpay and Troy. "This isn't over Bolton! Ryan is mine and mine only so back off…" She walked into an open doorway. She then gave him the 'WATCHALOOKIN'ATFOO' look. Troy's head sank in deep thought. Poop looked out of his doorway.

"Mr. Bolton?" he asked with a smile.

"Sorry Mr. Poopadakolis," Troy said jogging into his homeroom. He sat in his desk next to Chad.

"Is Ryan seriously going out for the team?" Chad laughed. Troy nodded back in a serious manner. He looked back to see Ryan glaring at him from a distance with sad unguided eyes.

"I feel bad for him. He's like a fish out of water," Troy began.

"Or a freak out of Drama Club," Chad laughed. "We are going to make his time trying out for the basketball team a living Hell, and you're going to help me."

"No Chad," Troy sternly reacted to Chad's sinister plan. "I know what it's like to be torn away from something you want to try for the first time. Ryan's just coming to watch today so act natural."

"What about the ice queen, she has it in for you now!" Chad exclaimed.

"I can handle frosty the snowgirl, but I think that Ryan is so passionate about the theater, he would kill himself without it," Troy analyzed. Chad froze, Ryan was looming behind him.

"Do I come off that desperate," the booming voice sounded from behind.
