Ryan Likes Who?

Chapter 2: The Party's Just Begun

Same Time; at Troy's House

Troy, Gabriella, Taylor, Chad, Kelsi, and Jason were sitting in Troy's living room talking when there is a knock on the front door. Troy got up to answer it. When he opened the door, Zeke was standing there with loaded arms full of food.

"Hey dude, do you need any help with the food?" Troy asked Zeke.

"That would be great Troy, thanks," responded Zeke sarcastically.

"Hey guys come and help with the food," shouted Troy.

The other five got up from where they were sitting to go help with all of the food that Zeke had either baked or bought at the store. Troy took about half of the food that was in Zeke's arms and brought it into the living room, while Gabriella and Taylor got the rest of the food from Zeke and Chad, Kelsi and Jason went with Zeke to get the rest of the food from the car.

"Good, now all we need to do is wait for Ryan and Sharpay to get here," commented Troy.

Just then the phone rang making everyone jump, luckily no food was spilled on the floor. As Troy ran to answer, his friends got started on eating the food. Reading the Caller ID, Troy realized that it was Ryan calling on his cell letting them (Troy, Gabriella, Kelsi, Jason, Chad, Taylor, and Zeke) know that they (Ryan and Sharpay) were on the way over.

2-3 hours later; still at Troy's House

"Let's play Truth-or-Dare," suggested Sharpay, thinking that if no one else picked him she would be able to trick Ryan into telling the truth about lunch that day.

"Okay." (Troy)

"Sure." (Gabriella)

"I guess." (Kelsi)

"Cool." (Jason)

"Awesome idea, Sharpay." (Zeke)

"Let's do it." (Chad)

"I don't know about that." (Ryan)

"I agree with Ryan, I don't know about that." (Taylor)

"Okay, it's settled, we're playing Truth-or-Dare. Now because it was my idea, I get to pick the person who goes first. Now, I'm not going to be self-centered, and because this is Troy's house, I pick Gabby to go first," Sharpay dragged on.

"Okay, let's see here, I pick… Taylor. Truth or Dare?" asked Gabby.

"I choose truth," responded Taylor.

"Okay then, who do you like better, Chad or Ryan?" Gabby continued.

"You're having me tell you who I like better, my boyfriend or Ryan, and I'll have to say Ryan," said Taylor truthfully.

"You're kidding, right Tay?" asked Chad in disbelief.

"As a matter fact I'm not Chad. I do like Ryan better then you, because to be honest, you're a pig. And Ryan treats me better then you do anyway. So in short, we're though Chad Danforth," Taylor shouted at her now ex-boyfriend.

It wasn't that she just broke up with Chad so that she could be with Ryan, but she did want to break up with him for a very long time. Ryan tried as much as he could to hide the smile on his face, but he failed miserablely to do so. It was probably a good thing then, that everyone else was still looking, no actually staring in disbelief, at Taylor and Chad, that no one actually saw the smile on his face.

"Let's just continue with the game," Gabby said trying to get everyone's attention again.

"Gabbby's right you guys let's just continue with T-o-D (Truth-or-Dare)," Troy said.

"Fine. I pick… Troy. Truth or Dare?" Taylor asked.

"Dare," said Troy simply.

"Okay then. I dare you to play the rest of the game in your boxers," Taylor said with a hint of mystery in her voice.

"Okay. I'm in nothing but my boxers, and now it's my turn to pick someone. So, I pick… let's see here… Chad. Truth or Dare?" Troy asked after he had taken off his shirt and pants.

"Dare," answered Chad way to quickly, almost praying that he would have to do something with Taylor.

"That was said a little to quickly for me but oh well," said Troy but continued any way, "I dare you to… run around in your boxers waving a banana around, yelling 'I'm a monkey' for 20 seconds," Troy smirked at his best friend.

Bummed-out about not getting a dare that he wanted, he slowly took off his clothes until he was in nothing but his boxers, grabbed a banana and for 20 seconds ran around the living room yelling 'I'm a monkey'.

While he was putting his clothes back on, Chad continued with the game, picking on Kelsi next.

"Okay Kelsi, Truth or Dare?" asked Chad.

"Well I don't want to have to do anything embarrassing or have to say anything that will haunt me for the rest of my life, so I chose… um… truth," Kelsi squeaked out.

"What was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you in high school?" Chad inquired of the pianist.

"Tripping on the stool and having my manuscripts fly everywhere

on stage last year," Kelsi said after thinking about it for a few seconds.

"My turn. Jason, Truth or Dare?" asked Kelsi of her boyfriend.
