Thanks for all the lovely reviews. I want ten before I update ok. Or no update! I know you guys will be nice. lol. Um, this chapter features a few lyrics from the musical Moulin Rouge, which I do not own. It is obvious that they are from Moulin Rouge though, kind of...well, because I state it. So yeah. Enjoy. And remember. 10 reviews. NICE reviews. I don't own High School Musical or any of the characters.

Chapter 4

The performance room had a few more people than last musical's auditions. He was sure that most of them were only there to watch though and support their friends. He sat next to Sharpay who had already changed into her "star" clothes.

He looked around at the crowd for Gabriella and saw her sitting in the corner. She looked so sad.

The first set of auditions were a mixture, some were good. But others were…interesting. Ryan played the audition song in his head like a record so that he wouldn't forget it.

Before he knew it, it was their turn. They walked up to the stage, Sharpay ahead of him as usual.

He watched her slim figure walk up onto the stage and prepared to sing. He walked up beside her and warmed up. After putting on one of his brown hats he prepared to sing.

The musical this semester was Moulin Rouge, a favourite of Ryan and Sharpay. They were performing Come what May, the lover secret song.

The music began to play.

"Never knew, I could feel like this,

Like I've never seen the sky before,

Want to vanish inside your kiss,

Every day I'm loving you more and more"

His heart beat faster as Sharpay sung her lines beautifully; captivating him so much that he nearly forgot to sing when it was his turn again. Sharpay gave him a funny look as he stared at her, but continued to sing.

The song finally finished. Though few people filled the hall, there was still a loud applause.

'Ryan, that was beautiful, you really got into role this time, you were great!'

Sharpay's comment made him tingle all over, he had impressed her.

He looked over to where Gabriella was sitting, but she had gone. Suddenly he was worried again. Where had she gone?

He went backstage and decided to go looking for her and see if she was ok. He ventured into the gym just in case, and he was welcomed by a large sob from the back row of seats.

'Gabriella! Are you alright? What happened?'

Gabriella sat up in her chair but collapsed in a huddle on the ground. Ryan sprinted up to where she lay and quickly checked her body to see if she was ok. She was fine except for the fact of the waterfall of tears that ran down her face.

Between snobs, she managed to speak.

'When Troy and I were together, he used to sing me that song at my window. You sang it so beautifully, but it reminded me of him. I am so sorry.'

He stroked her hair as she laid her head in his lap.

'It's ok Gabi, its ok.'

And he kissed her quickly. She looked up at him and smiled at him and went in for a deeper kiss. Before he knew it, she was straddling his hips, playing with the buttons of his shirt.

Sharpay smiled. Ryan had sung beautifully, but the look he gave her was…strange. She just couldn't shake off this feeling.

She remembered him kissing Gabriella and something inside of her was rattled. Something inside of her felt strange. She suddenly had an urge to find Ryan.

'Where could he be?' she whispered to herself as she searched the halls trying to find him. She looked over at the gym doors but thought of Ryan ever going into the Gym.

Something inside of her told her to go in though. She was positive she wouldn't find anything. She silently opened the doors and heard sounds from up in the audience seats. Curiously she ventured around to see what it was.

She saw two figures. Then she recognised them. Gabriella...and Ryan. Ryan was lying on the ground as Gabriella was straddling his hips trying to take his shirt off.

She felt her heart break. She didn't know why. It was her brother, why would she feel sad if her brother has someone. Was it Jealousy? Was she jealous that Ryan had someone and she didn't? No, it wasn't that. Was she jealous that Ryan had someone…someone other than her?

NO! She thought to herself. That is your brother we are talking about, not just some guy, your brother. She ran out the gym and sprinted back to her locker. She couldn't shake this feeling.

As she arrived at her locker, a single tear ran down her pale cheek.

Ryan heard a bang as Gabriella continued to undo the rest of the buttons on his shirt.

'Did you hear that?' He asked her, worried that someone may have seen them.

His thoughts quickly travelled to Sharpay again. What am I doing? He thought.

'Hear what gorgeous?'

'I'm sorry Gabi, but I have to go.'

She was shocked. But got off him as he flung his shirt back on and did all the buttons back up again.

He ran quickly down the steps to the Gym door.

'Where are you going?' She asked curiously.

'I don't know!' He yelled out behind him.

Cause he didn't know where he was going, but all he knew was that he had to find Sharpay.

Well then, there you go. Oh, you better go review now then. Bye bye. I'll hopefully wright more and update soon. If I get inspired because I really don't know what to do next, but I'll think about it.
