Chapter Four: The Guys Try To Warn Him

Ryan didn't understand what the fuss was about.

About Regina, anyways.

She didn't look too sinister, or would she do anything evil.

Apparently, that's not what his friends would say.

And it be known that Chad would have the first say in it as well.

"She's a spin-off of Sharpay herself." Chad stated, and other guys nodded their heads.

Ryan just smiled, and glanced at the boys that were in front of him, wearing opposite expressions: frowns.

"She'd never do anything harmless. All she could do is probably pull the curtain down." Ryan explained.

"Evans, didn't you hear me? She's. Just. Like. Sharpay." Chad said, ending every word with a period, as if talking to a toddler about stealing a cookie.

"That's what I keep telling myself about every other girl who acts like Sharpay, Chad."

Chad just looked at him, and muttered, "Drama geek." before Troy stepped in.

Usually, Troy was good at talking some sense into Ryan before anything went bad, or anyone got hurt.

"I agree with Chad, Ryan. And you should too."

"And should I?" Ryan asked, and all the guys groaned, excepted Troy, who had a strained smile on his face.

"Because every girl you came in contact with came off as sweet, but then they turned all evil. Total personality change." Troy contuined.

"Oh, just like Sharpay's total personality makeover?" Ryan asked, with one eyebrow raised, and Zeke blushed.

"Basically, yeah. Like Sharpay." Troy explained, and Ryan shook his head.

"You are--"

"Don't say it, Evans!" Chad prompted, and Ryan closed his mouth, and smiled.

"Fine."

Then how come Haylie never came to him with this?

How come it was his friends and his sister?

Maybe Haylie knew, but she wanted proof that her friends and Sharpay were telling her the truth.

Just like his Wildcats friends were.

"Ryan!"

He looked as Troy waved a face in his Ryan pushed his hand away.

"What?" he asked.

"You were spacing out...are you okay?" Troy asked.

"Sure! Never better!" Ryan stated.

"Come on, Evans. You can do better than that. Your not fooling anyone in this room." Chad pointed out.

Ryan sighed, and looked at the Wildcats.

"Sharpay told Haylie the same thing...I can feel it."

"Isn't that some freaky twin teleapathy or something?" Chad asked.

Ryan smirked, and looked at him.

"Me and Sharpay never had that...everyone says a pair of twins have that, but...we never did. Maybe this is the first time." Ryan joked, but none of them were laughing.

"Ryan, this is serious. If Sharpay told Haylie the same thing, then Sharpay knows something." Troy explained.

"Troy, you worry about our relationship too much. I think Regina is harmless." Ryan stated again, and Troy sighed.

"Your relationship with Haylie brought more drama than others, Ryan. You know that." Troy explained.

Of course he knew that!

He thought everyone else knew that!

"I know that, Troy. I just I'm just saying that--"

"Evans, your not saying that Regina is like Haylie. Regina is Sharpay's twin sister, and your going to listen to what we and Sharpay tell you." Chad informed him.

Wow, who was being edgy today?

"Okay, I won't." Ryan explained, while folding his arms across his chest.

Everyone sighed as Ryan got up from the bleachers, and looked at them.

"Well, I better go before your father gets testy again, Troy." Ryan annouced, but he knew the Wildcats had alot to say to him, but he didn't bother as he made his way out of the gym, and into the hallways of East High.

He found Haylie by her locker, and as a joke, he covered her hands with his hands, and whispered in her ear, "Guess who?"

"Hmmm...let me think. Ryan?" she asked, and Ryan took his eyes off her eyes, and Haylie smiled at him.

"How did you know it was me?" Ryan asked.

"Because your only guy I know who borrows his sister's lotion from her locker."

Ryan looked at his hands, and Haylie burst out laughing, and Ryan grinned.

"Weren't you going to stay with Ms. Darbus to run over your lines?" Ryan asked as Haylie slammed her locker shut, and she grinned at him.

"She told me to practice with Prince Charming." she replied, and Ryan blushed, and brought the hat that was on his head to his face so it was covering his blush.

"Oh. Well..I guess we could."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Haylie asked.

"No problem! There's no problem here!" he stated, and Haylie looked at him.

"Ryan." she said.

"Look, there is no problem. If there was, I'd be lying to you."

"That's just it. You are lying. So, there is something wrong." Haylie insisted as they began to walk to the student parking lot.

"There isn't. I'm saying there is no problem, and you would know, too."

"But, if I knew, I'd be laughing." Haylie replied, and Ryan nodded.

"Your right."

More like giggling than laughing, but Ryan didn't tell her that.

Whenever Haylie was nervous, or she lied (like Ryan did when he wanted to protect her), she laughed: or, rather, giggled.

"It'd be worst if you hiccupped." Ryan said, and Haylie grinned.

"Oh, yeah! That'd be really bad! They might even have me down as a medical case because I hiccup so much!" Haylie stated, and Ryan chuckled as he unlocked his car door, and Haylie got in the passenger's side, and he got in the driver's seat.

"Well, that's all I'm saying. If you laughed--"

"Giggled." she corrected him.

"--giggled, then you would also be placed down as a medical case."

Haylie shook her head as Ryan started the car, and looked at her in the rearview mirror.

They drove in silence, and before long, Ryan asked, "Haylie, has Sharpay ever asked you about Regina?"

Haylie turned her gaze away from the window, and she shook her head.

"Maybe...but, I don't believe her. Why? Did she say something to you?" she asked.

"Yeah, and the Wildcats agree with her." Ryan stated.

"So do Gabriella and Taylor."

"I guess were on the same page, then." Ryan explained as they neared her house.

"Yeah, but I don't know for sure if she'll try to steal you or not." Haylie said, and Ryan stopped the car, and reached over to grab one of her hands.

"Hey, remember the other girls? I'd never give up on you."

"Because I'm too good to be given up?" Haylie asked, and Ryan chuckled.

"Yes. That's what I ment." he said, as he kised her cheek, and Haylie laughed.
