A/N: Okay, sorry I haven't updated in a while guys. I just have some family issues that need taking care of. Anyway, thanks for the reviews! I got five reviews for my last chapter which was three less than the last one but okay! Thanks to my new reviewers: Leah, xEarlySunsetOverMonroevillex, and someone who didn't put a name on their review.

laguanabeachfreak442 - This is a Ryella. with little hints of Troyella too!

Leah - Sorry. But this isn't a Troy and Gabriella story. This is a Ryan and Gabriella story. So if you don't want to read it anymore, I understand.

lol925 - Oh. Well, I'll try to make things work between them. And you'll find out what she thinks in the next chapter! And I know it's short. Sorry about that!

someone who didn't put a name - Thank you! And no, Ryan does not like a guy in my story.

Anyway, here's the next chapter! I hope you guys like it! I think it's short too but it's longer than the last one!

Something Has Changed

Chapter 3: Six-Pack

The next day at school, Gabriella's day was going by fast since Troy wasn't there with her. Homeroom came and went, then it was lunch, then suddenly, it was fifth period and then school was out. Well, not entirely. Gabriella still had to go to the auditorium to practice for Saturday's musical.

When she got there, Ryan and Sharpay were already there. First, they practiced the songs and then their lines. It was an hour and a half show so they had a lot of lines to practice. And before they knew it, it was the last scene, where Minnie and Arnold share their first kiss.

Here we go. Gabriella thought. Her lips were only a few centimeters away from Ryan's and then suddenly, Sharpay interrupted.

"And, end scene!" Sharpay shouted. "Okay, that's a rap! You guys did great!"

Ryan went over to talk to Kelsi and Gabriella climbed off the stage secretly thanking Sharpay for interrupting. "Hey, Sharpay, are you sure that you don't want to take my place in the musical?"

Sharpay just stared at Gabriella for a while. "Um… Gabriella, if I took your place in the musical, I would have to do the last scene with Ryan. And it's not going to be a pretty sight. The last time we did that, we were in fourth grade."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

"No need to apologize. I know why you don't want to kiss my brother. It's because you think you'll hurt Troy."

"Yeah. How'd you know?"

"I have my ways…" Sharpay said.

"But I don't want to give Ryan the impression that I don't want to kiss him. I heard what happened to him last year."

"You did huh? Well, he was an emotional wreck when he saw them kissing. It took two whole months for him to completely get over it. Well, anyway, Ryan and I gotta jet. We're going shopping."

"But you just went shopping yesterday. You had like eight shopping bags." Gabriella reasoned.

"Not shopping for me. Shopping for Ryan."

"Why does Ryan need to go shopping? I thought you liked the way he dresses?"

"I do. But his outfit is for performing. I'm going to dress him like a normal guy. It's going to take a lot of work but hopefully, it'll pay off."

"Well, good luck. I'll see you guys tomorrow." With that, Gabriella waved to Sharpay and Ryan, who was still talking to Kelsi, and then she left for the hospital.

Ryan finished his conversation with Kelsi and then approached Sharpay.

"Are you ready little bro?" Sharpay asked.

"Do I seriously have to do it?" Ryan whined.

"Yes you seriously have to do it if you want her to notice you more often."

Ryan sighs. "Fine." Then he follows Sharpay to their car. He gets in the driver's seat and drives to the mall.

When they got there, Sharpay immediately pulled him to a men's store and asked him what size shirts he wears. Right after he answered, Sharpay started pulling different types of shirts from the racks and puts them in his arms.

Then she asks him what size pants her wears. He answers and then Sharpay pulled different types and colors of pants and shorts from the racks and puts them in his arms. And they did the same thing with shoes. Then she pushes him into the dressing room and forces him to try them on.

A couple of minutes later, Ryan still hasn't come out. Sharpay is filing her nails while a guy from West High passes Sharpay and stares at her for a while. Sharpay notices the guy staring.

"What are you looking at?" Sharpay sternly asks without stopping filing her nails.

"I'm sorry, it's just that, don't I know you from somewhere? You look familiar." The guy asked.

Sharpay looks at the guy and then back at her nails. "No, you don't know me from somewhere." Sharpay said.

"Don't you go to West High?"

"No, I got to East High."

"Oh, sorry. But isn't this a guy store? What's a pretty girl like you doing in a shop like this?" The guy asked, flirting a little.

"Is it illegal now for a girl to shop for her little brother?"

"No, I guess not." The guy says.

"I thought so." And Sharpay continues filing her nails. The guy stays for a while.

"You look gor-" The guy started but Sharpay cut him off.

"Leave." Sharpay barked at the guy. Then she gave him one of her famous glares. The guy got the message and left.

A couple of minutes passed and Ryan still hasn't come out. Sharpay was growing impatient.

"Ryan, are you done yet?" Sharpay shouted through the door.

"Yeah, I'm done!" Ryan answered.

"So what are you waiting for? Let me see!" Sharpay shouted again.

"No! I'm not coming out and you can't make me!" Ryan said.

"Ryan if you don't come out in five… four…" Sharpay started.

"Oh, come on! Do you really think that's going to work?"

"THREE… TWO…" Sharpay continued. This scared Ryan so he had no choice but to come out of the fitting room and show his sister.

When Sharpay saw Ryan, all she could do was stare at him in shock. "Whoa…" Sharpay finally said.

"I look hideous don't I? That's it, I'm going to change." Ryan said. But before he could go back in the fitting room, Sharpay grabbed his hand. "No! Don't! You look awesome!"

"I do?" Ryan asked. He was wearing black Air Jordan's, black baggy cargo pants, a white wife beater under an open white button up long-sleeved shirt.

"Ryan, I didn't know you have a six-pack!" Sharpay said poking Ryan's stomach. His six-pack shows through the wife beater.

"I guess all that dancing paid off!"

"We have to get that outfit." Sharpay said while pulling out her credit cards. She pushes Ryan back into the dressing room.

"Take those off and hand them to me! Then try another outfit!" Sharpay shouted through the door. Ryan did as he was told and took the clothes off and handed them to Sharpay. Sharpay paid for the clothes while Ryan tried a different outfit. When Ryan was finished, he showed it to Sharpay but she didn't like it.

A few hours later, they finally stopped when they found five outfits.

"Can we stop now?" Ryan whined.

"Yes we can stop now. We'll head over to the food court to get some food."

They paid for the last outfit and as usual, Ryan carried all six of the shopping bags. They stopped at the food court. Sharpay just got salad (of course) because she was watching her figure while Ryan got two cheeseburgers, curly fries, a large diet soda, and ice cream.

"You're not going to eat all of those are you?" Sharpay questioned her brother.

"Yeah. I am. Why?"

Sharpay just sighs. "You'll get fat."

"No I won't. This is what I always eat when I go to the mall. And you saw my six-pack. So there. I get to keep the curly fries."

Sharpay sighs again. "Fine." And continues eating her salad. All she could think about was what people are going to think when they see the new and improved Ryan Evans tomorrow.

Okay! That was my third chapter! I'm thinking of doing the next chapter in two parts. But if I do, each part will be really short. What do you guys think?

Coming up next chapter: Ryan wears his new outfit to school.
