Over the next couple of days, Gerard and Ryan found several excuses to run into each other and the constantly flirted shamelessly. Gerard would see Ryan in the hall and wink at him then lick his lips or Ryan would "accidentally" bump into Gerard while walking to his seat in Drama. They had become closer to each other in one week then Ryan had to anyone else in a lifetime. Ryan found himself constantly daydreaming about Gerard, but started to sweat at the thought of anyone finding out about their relationship.
About two weeks after Gerard had arrived at East High; Ryan was walking down the hallway during free period and saw Gerard, Troy Bolton, and Chad Danforth shooting some ball in the gym. They all looked like they were having a great time and it appeared as though no one knew about Gerard's, well… sexual preference. Ryan knew that if Troy and Chad had found out, the entire school would know by now. Ryan clearly remembered the first dance that he'd attended with another boy….
"It's alright Mark, everyone will be cool with it. I mean, these kids know me. If they don't know by now that I'm, well…" he bent his finger and giggled, "Then they'll never figure it out." Mark nodded at him and adjusted his tie. Ryan took Mark's hand in his and strode confidently up to the entrance to the school.
As soon as he walked through the door, he knew he had made a huge mistake. Everyone, (but Sharpay of course), was staring open mouthed at them.
"I thought you said everyone would be cool with it" said Mark nervously squeezing Ryan's hand even tighter. Ryan felt as though he was about to cry. Out of nowhere came Troy Bolton, Chad Danforth and a couple other basketball cronies.
"What a cute couple", said Chad, "Now which one of you is the woman? Or are you both women? I guess that would make you lesbians huh." Everyone was laughing and Mark was looking so embarrassed that Ryan knew then and there that their relationship was over.
"Shut up Chad" said Sharpay in Ryan's defense.
"So drama queen", Chad started again, "How does it feel to be the sister of East High's resident FAG!" Ryan dropped Mark's hand and ran out of the school. He ran fast and far not knowing where he was heading.
"Ryan….RYAN!" Sharpay shouted in his ear. Ryan snapped out of his memory and looked at her, as did Chad, Troy and Gerard. "Where were you? You're eyes were like glazed over and you were kinda drooling." As soon as she said this, Troy and Chad grabbed towels to cover their bare chests.
"Sick!" said Chad, "The FAG was looking at us." Troy and Chad burst into laughter but, to Ryan's surprise Gerard just stared at them sadly. Then, even more surprisingly to Ryan, Gerard walked over to him and kissed him directly on the lips. Troy and Chad looked stunned.
"What the Fuck?" said Chad, "You're…" Gerard nodded then took Ryan's hand and dragged him away.
