Our Friends All Ask What's The Deal

The next day, it was physical science class. Mrs. Siegfried (my mom, Hazzah!) was handing out the grades from the astronomy test. Gabriella's grade was A+ and Ryan's was D+. "For those of you who didn't pass, there is an optional retake," the teacher explained.

"Great," Ryan thought sarcastically.

"What's wrong," Gabriella asked.

"It's nothing."

Gabriella took a little peek from his test. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said.

"It's not your fault, it's just that many things has been scrambling through my brain that I just can't focus on science."

"Well, maybe I could tutor you."

"You would?"

"If you have any free time, I could come over to your house."

"School's fine. How about around lunchtime and the library after school?"

"Sure, sound great."

When lunchtime came around, Taylor (Gabriella's best friend) looked at Gabriella sitting with Ryan. The braniacs saw them chattering.

"Okay so the first step of the PP chain reaction is what?"

"Two protons fuse to form a deuterium nucleus."

"And the reaction results."

"It results in the emission of a positron and a neutrino."

"Very good, you're catching on!"

The drama club was also watching the two together. Sharpay walk towards to Taylor.

"I know that you're not used to this as much as I'm not," Sharpay said.

"What's the catch?" Taylor asked.

"There is no catch. You see why don't we try to keep them away from each other. You know, for the sake of our clubs."

"I don't know. I don't want to hurt Gabriella. If it's for the best."

"So glad we had this talk."

When Ryan went to the drama club, Sharpay was standing with the other thespians onstage. "What's going on are we having a meeting?" he asked.

"Ryan, we thought that you might be losing touch on the club here," Sharpay explained.

"I thought we already talked about this, guys this is ridiculous."

"No! What's really ridiculous is that you may join those braniacs instead!"

"Look just beacause Gabriella's helping me doesn't mean I'm turning into an Einstien. I'm going to meet here right now."

Ryan left the theater immediately. As Gabriella entered the science lab, Taylor and the braniacs were standing in front of the chalkboard. "Is their something wrong?" she asked.

"Gabriella, we might have our chances losing you here, I mean you and Ryan" Taylor explained.

"I'm just tutoring Ryan on science. There's nothing bad about that."

"It's not about tutoring. It's about the relationship."

"We don't have a relatonship, that's crazy! Look, I'm going to meet Ryan at the library. Just letting you know if you need me."

Gabriella went to the library with Ryan waiting.

"Hey!"

"Hey," Ryan said sadly.

"What's the matter?"

"The drama club was trying to keep me away from you."

"That's funny, Taylor and the other science club were doing the same thing."

"Well let's not get that to keep us down."

"You're right. Let's talk about the crab nebula. It's a supernova remnant in the constellation of Taurus."

"Hey that's my sign!"

"Really? I thought you were an Aries."

"Actually Sharpay is. I was born after the first five minute of April 20th."

"That seems possible."

"What's your sign?"

"I'm a Cancer."

"That's funny, it says that Cancer is the perfect match for Taurus."

There was silence after that remark.

"Guess we're turning astronomy into astrology," Ryan jocked.

"I guess we are," Gabriella replied.
