A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for everyone who reviewed! I'm really sorry for the delay with that last chapter, but I'm trying to be better from now on or at least until my computers fixed. Also, if anyone has any ideas or anything they want to see happen in the story, feel free to say it in a review. Also, I'm not to sure how long I want to make the story or up to what point to start. If any of you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it! Thanks! Well, I'll stop rambling so here's chapter 6! R&R please and thank you!

Previously:

"Gabriella, what are you doing?" Gabriella was broken from her thoughts and screamed. She quickly covered her mouth but it was too late.

"Troy, what was that?" Sharpay got off of Troy and he grabbed her hand as he headed towards the stairs.

Gabriella looked towards the top of the stairs and turned towards the person who scared her.

"Shit" She whispered.

Gabriella grabbed the person by the arm and ran out the door as fast as she could. She hid behind a bush. She saw Troy and Sharpay looking around but finding nothing.

"Maybe I was just being paranoid." Sharpay said, walking back to Troy.

"Then that would make us both paranoid because I heard it too." Troy said.

"Well, it is lunch time and girls are always screaming so it wad probably nothing." She said as Troy nodded and they walked back up the stairs.

Gabriella waited until she heard the door leading to the secret spot close until she came out of the bush.

"Well that was close" the person said, touching her shoulder.

"Yea, no thanks to you. You really scared me up there Ryan." She said, causing the blonde twin to smile.

"I know, you cursed, and you never do" Gabriella blushed as Ryan laughed.

"It's ok Gaby, I won't tell anyone. God knows what would happen if the school found out that the perfect Gabriella Montez cursed." She hit him on the arm playfully.

"Ouch, that really hurt Montez" Ryan said, rubbing his arm.

"Suck it up Evans." They started laughing and then it became and awkward silence.

"So, um, I guess you know now" Ryan said as they began to walk to a table near a big tree where they usually talked after school.

"Yea and I'm guessing you know too" she said as Ryan nodded.

"Just don't tell anyone Gaby, please." He said, as they reached the table and sat down.

"I won't Ryan. I was going to, but then I heard Sharpay saying she didn't want anyone to know because she thought Chad had heard them and-" Gabriella was cut off by Ryan.

"Chad heard them? What are you talking about?" Gabriella mentally slapped herself. She wasn't sure yet if she wanted to tell Ryan what the gangs plan was, but it looked like she didn't have a choice now.

"Yea, well about that. Let me explain. Supposedly Chad heard Troy and your sister talking or something in the auditorium during free period and he suspected Troy was going out with someone, but then he heard him say something about Sharpay. Then he went and told Taylor who really didn't believe him because, as she said, "The Ice Queen and Troy Bolton?" but whatever. Chad wanted to find out what was going on and you know Chad. So he told the rest of the gang while Taylor told me and he asked me to follow Troy to his secret spot, which by the looks of it, isn't a secret anymore, especially to you."

Ryan was paying close attention to Gabriella, fascinated by the fact of how she could talk so fast, yet so clearly and fascinated by the fact that he could stare at her, yet hear everything she was saying so I didn't seem obvious.

"Anyways, so I did and I saw them together and was actually happy because I knew for a while that's what they both wanted. And I was about to leave when I heard Sharpay say something about Chad, so I guess they knew he was there and that's when I heard her say she wasn't ready to let anyone know about her real self and there relationship. After that, I was going to leave for real but someone blew my cover" she finished, looking at a smirking Ryan.

"Hey, can you blame me for wanting to know why you were spying on my sister and her boyfriend?" he said as Gabriella shook her head smiling.

"I just didn't know the Einstienette was such a curious person." Ryan said, smirking.

"Hey, it happens to the best of us and if I replay the events correctly in my head, you were just as curious as me." Gabriella stated smartly. Ryan laughed.

"True, true. I'll give you your props there" he said adjusting his hat.

"Thank you, and why don't you take that hat off for a while." She said, reaching up taking the hat off. She looked at him and their eyes locked. Their stare was broken and Gabriella smiled.

"There. Much better" she whispered as she put the hat down on the table and blushed. Ryan smiled, but took the hat from her hand and put it on table.

"Thanks, but I think I'll keep it on for now." He said as Gabriella giggled. She turned looked at Ryan who was staring at her and she found her eyes staring right back, happy no one could see them. Or so she thought.

Troy stood behind Sharpay with his arms around her waist and Sharpay was leaning back against his chest.

"Aw, they're so cute! I knew Ryan always liked her" Sharpay said as she looked down over the railing at her brother and Gabriella.

"Yup. But I never would have seen that coming." Troy said.

"Do you think we should tell them that from up here you can hear everything that you say if you sit on that bench?" Sharpay said, trying to cover up her plan of playing matchmaker.

"Nah, will let them get together on their own. But if they don't after a while, we'll interfere." Troy said as Sharpay smiled and turned around in his arms.

"And how exactly did you know that's what I meant?" she said smiling.

"Ah, that's for me to know and you to find out" he said smiling just the same as Sharpay.

"Hmm, will this change your mind?" she said leaning in and kissing him gently

"No, but if you give me another, maybe it will." Troy said as Sharpay hit him playfully on the arm.

"Naha Bolton. You get a kisses when you deserve them and I feel like it and right now, I don't." She said playfully as she turned around and went to walk away before Troy grabbed her arm and turned her back around pressing his forehead to hers.

"Well, how about if I told you, you were the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on and I'm not just saying it for a kiss, but because I love you? " he whispered as she looked at him.

"Now that deserves a kiss" she whispered as she leaned up and kissed Troy passionately. The bell rang signaling that lunch was over and Troy groaned. Sharpay pulled away and giggled.

"Don't worry lover boy. I'll see you later." She said picking up her stuff and heading down the stairs not before she turned around and gave Troy one more kiss.

"Oh and I love you too" she said before running down the stairs.

Troy stuck his hands in his pockets as he saw Sharpay run down the stairs. He smiled and sighed.

"Damn, I love that girl" he said to himself as he walked down the stairs so he wouldn't be late.

Gabriella and Ryan had been staring at each other, neither really noticing nor caring until they heard the bell ring. Gabriella jumped back and blushed.

"I, uh, I gotta get to class." She said playing with her hair.

"Yea, yea me too." Ryan said rubbing the back of his neck. Gabriella looked at him and smiled.

"Well, I'll see you later Ryan. Bye." She said, as she ran off smiling.

"What's she so happy about?" Ryan said to himself as he turned to the table to grab his hat but realized it was gone.

He looked to see Gabriella entering the school with his grey hat in her hand. Ryan shook his head while laughing and heard the late bell ring. He sighed, knowing Ms. Darbus would him the "time is of the essence" speech of hers when he arrived.

Gabriella barely made it to her Algebra Honors class in time as she ran in right when the bell rang and took her seat right next to Taylor.

"Hey, what'd you find out?" Taylor said as Gabriella looked at her.

"About- about what?" she said, catching her breath

"About Troy duh." Taylor whispered as there teacher took attendance.

"Oh, nothing." Gabriella finally said after she caught her breath and began to write in her notebook.

"Nothing? What do you mean nothing?" Taylor said, a little too loud causing the teacher to look at them. Gabriella lowered her head and looked at Taylor.

"It means I found out nothing."

"Then why were you away all lunch and running in here like a maniac almost late to class?" Taylor asked as she leaned over Gabriella to see a grey hat on top of her bag.

"And why do you have Ryan's hat?" Gabriella tried to think of an excuse

"Oh, because I was, uh, helping Ryan, with, uh, math." She said quickly.

"So you missed all of lunch to help Ryan in math, which caused u to almost be late and you took his hat with you?" Taylor asked curiously.

"Oh no. I was using the hat as, uh, a visual. Guess I forgot to give it back. I'll return it after class. Now , shh, before we get in trouble again today." Gabriella said as she turned towards the teacher and wrote something in her notebook. Taylor sighed and began to think.

'Oh great. Now there's something up with Troy AND Gaby. And now I'm curious. Argg, stupid Chad, he's rubbing off on me. Whatever, I'll tell him after school and we'll figure something out.'
