Hey there,

Thanks for the reviews, I can't believe I got them all so quickly. I was so happy that I updated very quickly. This chapter is slightly longer cause it seemed a good place to end it...again. Anyways, now to read it.

Chapter 2-Cooking up a plan

Ryan looked at her stunned

'What was that for?' he shakily asked. It's not like he didn't enjoy it, but he was confused as to what provoked it in the first place.

Gabriella was taken back.

'I…I'm sorry…I just thought that…well…you were being so nice to me and…'

Ryan smiled, gently lifting her chin up with one hand.

'It's ok'

And he placed his lips on hers. The whole school continued to watch in shock whilst Gabriella placed her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss, his tongue licking her lips, tickling them. But they were interrupted by an angry Troy.

'What the hell do you think your doing?' Troy's face was red and he glared at Ryan.

'What do you mean what the hell? You broke up with her for god's sakes, what do you care?' Ryan watched Troy, as he helplessly tried to come up with an explanation but couldn't manage to find one, so instead he hit him.

Troy's fist connected with the side of Ryan's skull knocking him unconscious.

'What the hell do you think your doing Troy, you can't just go around hitting guys who like me, we're broken up remember!'

Gabriella was furious as she raised her right hand to slap Troy leaving a red mark on his left cheek.

'Gab…did you just hit me?' Troy was shocked.

'No, you idiot, it was a ghost. Now leave us alone!'

She bent down onto her knees and picked up Ryan's head cautiously and lay it down on her lap. She began to stroke his silky blonde hair and cried.

Ryan blinked a few times and his hands instantly went to his head which was pulsating with pain.

He looked around the room; he was no longer in the school cafeteria, but in what seemed to be the nurse's office. A small figure sat beside him stroking his head. It was Gabriella.

'Wha…what happened.' He asked shakily.

'Troy hit you and your now in the nurse's office at school. It's ok, Troy's punch luckily didn't cause too much damage but it did draw some blood.'

He winced in pain, as she stroked his head, accidentally touching the saw part.

'Oh my god, I'm so sorry!'

Moving to sit on the bed, she leaned in and kissed him. Pulling away so they were only inches apart, she whispered.

'Thanks for standing up for me, you're my hero.'

He began to ponder. He wanted Sharpay, but Sharpay wanted Troy. But Gabriella wanted him. But if Troy was like the way he was before, he still obviously wanted Gabriella. If he got them back together, than he would have Sharpay all to himself.

He smiled. It would take a lot of effort, but one way or another, Troy was going to have Sharpay love him back.

Ryan arrived home, seconds after Sharpay. He went straight into his room and lay down on his double bed, dreaming up of what to do next.

Sharpay then burst in, interrupting his thoughts.

'What on earth was that about today? And since when did you like Gabriella?'

He didn't know why she was angry. She was just so beautiful. Her slim figure standing in the doorway, miniskirt barely covering the secrets that he wanted to uncover. He could have her now. But he didn't want it to be like this, he wanted her to want him.

'I do like Gabriella; she's a very sweet girl.' His voice was kind, trying to hide how he really felt.

'I don't frickin' care if she is a sweet girl or not, you never liked her before.'

'Why do you even care about me, you have Troy.' His anger began to build up, why did she have to get angry at him, it wasn't her problem.'

Stuttering, she tried to come up with something but couldn't. Why was she angry? He was right, she did have troy. Why on earth would she be angry?

'Whatever' she screamed before slamming the door and running down the hallway to get to her own room.

She sat on her bed and began to think. Why am I angry? Am I jealous? Ew, no, he's my brother, it's not right.

She tried to get to sleep, but her swimming thoughts prevented her from closing her eyes.

There you go, another short chapter by me. It is longer than the first one though, I tried to make it longer. The next one'll probably be longer still so keep R&R
