Sharpay slowly approached the guilty couple, with still that smirk on her face. Gabriella kept her eyes on the ground, and didn't dare move. Ryan watched Sharpay carefully. Sharpay circled them as if they were her prey.

"So...Gabriella...do you want the honors of telling Troy, or should I?" Sharpay said.

Gabriella looked up at Sharpay with a very confused look on her face. Ryan glanced from Gabriella, to Sharpay. He suddenly noticed another figure standing in the doorway. Ryan's heart sank when he saw Troy Bolton standing there. Troy looked absolutely crushed. He slowly walked across the room to Gabriella.

"Troy!" Gabriella breathed, as she saw her boyfriend walking towards her.

Troy stopped in front of Gabriella. A few tears had already streamed down his cheeks. He didn't touch Gabriella. He didn't move. He just stood there looking into her eyes.

"I guess it's over." Troy whispered. He lingered a second longer, and then dashed out of the room. Sharpay raced after him calling his name.

Gabriella looked up at Ryan, and now she too was crying.

"I'm so sorry Gabriella." Ryan said.

She smiled slightly and said "I brought it upon myself Ryan. If you don't mind, I'd like to go home."

Ryan escorted her to the door, and closed it gently behind her. Ryan felt awful. He didn't know it would be so painful for him to see Troy and Gabriella break up. He felt so guilty for joining in this scheme with Sharpay. He ran to her room, and could hear her comforting Troy through her door. Ryan didn't want to get in any more trouble with Troy, so he just went into his room and laid down.

What seemed like hours later, there was a knock on Ryan's door.

"Come in." Ryan called.

Sharpay entered looking a little down. Ryan guessed that it was probably from guilt.

"What's up Shar?" Ryan asked, sitting up on his bed. "You okay?"

"No." Sharpay said. "I'm not okay. This wasn't how it was supposed to go."

"You mean you feel bad for breaking Gabriella and Troy up?" Ryan asked.

"What? No! I mean Troy didn't ask me out after he dumped Gabriella!" Sharpay said.

Ryan was so overcome with anger that she had the audacity to say something like that, that he let couldn't stand it any longer.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP SHARPAY!" Ryan screamed, and jumped up off his bed.

Sharpay stopped and stared at Ryan with wide eyes, and slowly stood up.

"All you are concerned about is the fact that Troy didn't ask you out! Did you ever consider that Troy loves Gabriella? That Troy WANTS to be with Gabriella, and NOT you? That Troy actually has a heart and wants it to heal because he just broke up with his long time girlfriend? God Sharpay, you are so selfish!" Ryan yelled.

"Hey, I wasn't the one that kissed Gabriella!" Sharpay yelled back.

"Gabriella kissed me, not the other way around! And even if I did, I would have been doing it for you! I was doing this as a favor to you Sharpay. I wasn't being selfish by saying that I wanted Gabriella, so I wanted to break them up. I don't even have those kinds of feelings for Gabriella! This whole plot, was your scheme and yours alone. Count me out." Ryan said, and then plopped back down and his bed, and closed his eyes.

"Fine Ryan. Go ahead and blame me. See if I care. At least I'll get something in the end. You got fucked over, and now you don't even get Gabriella, but I guess you don't care because you 'don't have those kinds of feelings for Gabriella.'" Sharpay mocked Ryan.

Ryan didn't respond. He refused to let Sharpay's words get to him.

Sharpay walked to the door, and stopped. She turned her head slightly and spoke softly.

"You just don't kiss someone you don't love, Ryan. That's not how it goes."

Ryan sighed, as Sharpay closed the door behind her. He knew he did have some feelings for Gabriella, but he wasn't sure how deep they ran. Ryan still felt so much guilt for what happened with Troy and Gabriella. He couldn't shake the feeling that even though it was Sharpay's plot, Ryan was the one who caused it to succeed. He cursed himself for letting his hormones take over, and allowing Sharpay to use him. Ryan thought more about his sister, and was even more confused. He knew he was still so in love with Sharpay, but she would soon be with Troy. How could he cope with Sharpay having a new boyfriend? Ryan was able to handle it in the past because he didn't get his feelings for her until this past year. Sharpay had been single the whole year, and Ryan had all of her attention.

Ryan wasn't sure how it would all turn out with Troy and Sharpay, but he was sure that Sharpay wouldn't stop until Troy was her's. He knew that he wouldn't be able to stand the jealousy that would build inside of him, and that eventually, he would have to tell Sharpay how he felt. What Ryan didn't know, what that that day was sooner than he had hoped.


Oh snap. What will happen with Sharpay and Troy? Will Ryan and Gabriella become an item? And what will Ryan say when he can't handle Sharpay's love for Troy, and not him? You gotta review to find out:)
