Chapter 5: For a Long Time…
Ryan once again closed his locker door to reveal Sharpay. "What the hell was that?" She snapped..
"What was what?" He replied, knowing perfectly well what she was talking about.
"That little scene in the lunch room."
"It wasn't a scene." He turned and started to walk away.
"Like hell it wasn't," she said as she followed him. She grabbed onto his arm, making him stop and face her. "Look, I completely understand that you have a crush on Gabriella but pretending to stand up to me in public to impress her is going way overboard."
He shook his head. "You just don't get it, do you?"
"Get what?"
"That I'm not who you think I am."
"You're my brother, I know everything about you."
"No, you and the rest of this school only see what you want to see. But Gabby sees right through that. She sees the real me."
"You have no idea what you are talking about. This isn't the real you! The real you is my performance partner."
"Who just had to stand there while you got all the attention. Well, that's not me, not anymore. You can find another flunky." He started to walk away.
"I'm going to find out what that Gabriella girl did to you and stop it!" She called to him.
He turned around, walking backwards. "You can't stop it, Sharpay. You can't stop me from being who I am." He turned back around and continued down the hall.
"You'll see, Ryan!" She yelled at him. "You'll come to your sense and realize I was right all along."
"Believe what you want to believe!" He called over his shoulder.
She squeaked angrily and stormed in the opposite direction.
Gabriella had been watching from a doorway. "Ryan!" She called to him as he walked by.
He looked over to her. "Oh hey," he said, coming towards her. "What's up?"
"I just heard the fight with Sharpay," she replied. "Did you mean all of that?"
"Of course. I meant every word." He looked to his left and then to hir right. He pushed Gabriella with him into the classroom and shut the door behind him. His hand rested on the back of her neck and pulled her lips against his.
She began deepening the kiss before he pulled away. "What was that for?" She asked, breathing heavily.
"I've been wanting to do that for a long time," he panted.
She smiled at him before kissing him again.
