-Chapter Twelve-
Dirty Little Secret

Troy's mind filled with dread as he walked across the student parking lot the next day. He had broken his promise to Ryan. He didn't go through with their plan, and now the whole school knew about them. As he reached the end of the parking lot, Sharpay's pink Corvette screeched into the parking lot. He smiled when he saw Ryan climb out of the car. His sister said her goodbye before running off to class without him. Ryan instead made his way over to Troy.

"Hey Troy." He chirped, taking Troy's hand and walking with him to the school's entrance.

"Hi Ryan." Troy tried to sound cheerful, but it was somehow lost in his unenthusiastic response. Ryan stopped Troy and looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked.

Troy shook his head. "It's nothing."

Ryan gave him a yeah right look. "Troy, not only am I your boyfriend, but I'm your opposite role in the play. I know when you're lying." Troy managed a grin. It was true, there was no way Ryan was going to fall for anything.

"Okay okay Mr. Smarty." Troy said. "I'm just upset that I broke my promise to you."

"What promise?"

"Y'know. About me pretending to go out with Gabriella. Now the whole school's gonna know!"

Ryan gave Troy a doubting look. "I thought you said you didn't care about that."

Troy hugged Ryan. "Of course I don't. I would gladly face anything to be with you. I just didn't want to put you through it too. You don't deserve it."

Ryan smiled and returned the hug. "Troy, stop trying to be the hero. I already told you, you're not in this alone, okay? Whatever you're gonna face, I want to be right here beside you. We'll do it together, okay?"

Troy squeezed Ryan. "Thanks Ryan." They walked together to the front of the school, not caring if anybody saw them. Fortunately, they were running a bit late, and almost everyone was already heading to class. However, as they reached the top of the steps, they were literally dragged apart by someone.

"Are you two insane?" Hissed an unknown voice. Troy was dragged inside, and he caught a glimpse of Ryan being pulled in by someone in a plaid skirt. They were pulled into a little alcove in the foyer, where Troy found their captives to be Chad and Taylor.

"Guys, what is going on?" Troy asked, grabbing Ryan's hand again.

"Gabriella told us." Taylor said.

"Yeah, no kidding." Ryan said sarcastically. "But why don't you explain why you're holding Troy and I hostage."

"Because you can't be seen together!" Chad exclaimed.

Troy gave Chad a menacing look and took a step forward. "Look, if you have a problem with us, then that's great. But I couldn't really care less what you or anybody else thinks."

"Troy, you don't get it!" Taylor said. "Nobody else knows about you two!"

Both Ryan and Troy gave her a stupefied look. "What? How is that even possible?" Troy asked. "Gabriella should have told the whole school by now!"

"We swore her to secrecy." Taylor said. "She came to us first, and we forbade her to tell anyone else."

Ryan raised an eyebrow. "And she actually listened?"

"What did you threaten her with? Death?" Troy asked.

Taylor gave the boys a devious smile. "You two aren't the only ones harboring a big secret."

Troy and Ryan nodded. "So… are you guys okay with it?" Troy asked.

"Well I was shocked at first, I'll be honest." Chad said. "But it's not like you guys were completely discreet about it. Other people use the bathroom besides you guys, I hope you know."

The two boys blushed.

"And even before that, it's not like we couldn't see you two staring at each other in class." Taylor added.

"Does anybody else know?" Ryan asked.

"Well, none of us have said anything." Chad said. "So we hope that's a no."

"But you two can't be seen together." Taylor said anxiously. "Not everyone is going to take it as well as us."

Ryan nodded. "We were shooting for that… but it kinda fell apart yesterday."

"But we won't be having that problem again, I can guarantee it." Troy said maliciously. "So, we'll be careful." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well, we're late for class." Taylor said. "So we'd better go!" She and Chad waved goodbye and ran off to class.

Troy and Ryan slowly stepped out of the alcove, painfully separating their hands.

"This isn't going to be easy." Ryan said, shoving his hand in his pocket, to resist the temptation of grabbing Troy's again.

"Well…" Troy said looking around. The foyer was empty, as well as the halls. "No one's around to see us right now…" He took an arm and wrapped it around Ryan's waist. He brought the boy close to him and smiled. "Why don't be spontaneous?"

Ryan grinned and wrapped his own arm around Troy. "I like the sound of that." The two leaned in for a short kiss before slowly walking to class.

-o-O-O-O-o-

Troy and Ryan knew Gabriella would have wanted nothing more than to stand atop her desk and proclaim for the whole class to hear that they were gay and going out with each other, but apparently she was hiding a dirty little secret that could not get out. It was just another thing to add to the laundry list of reasons Troy hated her now. Ryan looked up from his homework, which was actually just a blank piece of paper, to catch a glimpse of Troy. Troy was already looking in Ryan's direction, and they two blushed as they made eye contact. They could hear Taylor hissing in warning, and Gabriella grumbling in discontent. The two boys laughed quietly to themselves. With Troy and Ryan sneaking glances at each other, Chad and Taylor keeping watch over them , and Gabriella jealously watching from afar, no one would be getting any work done.

"Mr. Evans, back to work please." Their math teacher said testily.

"Yes ma'am, sorry." Ryan said, turning back to his work.

"Ms. Montez, you too."

Gabriella glared at Troy before looking down at her paper. Troy, on the other hand, kept staring, unconsciously scribbling hearts all over his page.

"Troy!" Chad hissed.

"Mr. Danforth!" Their teacher called. "No talking in class."

"Sorry ma'am." Chad mumbled, lowering his eyes. Ryan's concentration crumbled again and he turned his eyes to Troy, trying to keep his head still. Seeing Ryan looking at him, Troy winked and blew him a kiss.

"Troy!" Taylor whispered, crumpling her paper and hurling at Troy's head.

"Ms. McKessie! Mr. Bolton! Something you'd like to share with the class?" Their math teacher fumed.

"No ma'am." The two said. Troy snorted in an effort to stifle his laughter while Taylor said a silent curse to the heavens. Just to bug everyone, Ryan stood up and made his way to the pencil sharpener, making a detour at Troy's desk. As he passed, he ran his hand through Troy's hair and ruffled it before passing on and sharpening his pencil. Chad and Taylor jumped out of their desks, growling indistinct words as Gabriella threw her arms in the air and cried out in frustration. This was the last straw.

"BOLTON! EVANS! MCKESSIE! DANFORTH! MONTEZ! DETENTION!" Their teacher screeched, snapping her pencil in half. The five bowed their heads.

"Yes ma'am…"

The rest of the class murmured in laughter as the bell rang and the five miscreants headed for the detention room. Troy and Ryan discreetly held hands as they pushed through the dense crowds, Chad and Taylor hounding on them, and a peeved Gabriella not far behind. Down the science hall and into a chemistry classroom the five marched, locking the door behind them. Ryan slipped a piece of paper off the unoccupied teacher's desk while Troy got some tape.

"What are you boys doing?" Taylor asked incredulously.

"Blocking the window." Ryan said with a smirk. He held up the piece of paper over the small rectangular window as Troy fastened it with plenty of tape.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me." Gabriella groaned, slapping her forehead. Once the door was taken care of, Ryan and Troy got to work drawing the shades over the window.

"Let's keep it PG, boys." Taylor sighed, taking a seat in an empty desk and pulling out her math homework.

"We can't make any promises." Troy said fiendishly.

"I hate you Troy Bolton." Gabriella declared.

Troy just looked at Gabriella contemptuously before pulling Ryan in close and kissing him. He ran his hands all over Ryan's body, as Ryan moaned softly.

"Oh Trooyy." Ryan purred. The corners of his mouth twitched upwards. He was going to make this good. "Mmmm, oh Troy… Yeah babe…" Gabriella was going to taste the bitterness of revenge.

"Yeah Ryan." Troy murmured. "You like that?" He caressed Ryan's ass, and slowly guided him toward one of the desks. Ryan slowly started to lean back on it, and soon Troy was on top of him, straddling him and passionately making out with him.

Gabriella was seething with rage. "Taylor do something!" She cried.

"SHH!" Taylor said. She was going to finish her homework if it was the last thing she did. Chad was not even worth bothering, as he had his back turned to the scene and his blaring iPod drowning out any outside noise. Gabriella whined.

"I hate you, Troy Bolton. You worthless piece of shit!"

"Did you hear something Troy?" Ryan asked in a breathless voice. Now he was on top of Troy.

"Baby all I can hear is you." Troy replied, sealing his mouth over Ryan's again. "Ah, oh Ryan." Ryan had slinked his hands inside of Troy's shirt. His fingers were cold, and the sensation sent shivers all over Troy's body.

"Ryan…" Gabriella growled. "How dare you take him away from me." Ryan lifted his head to look at her for the first time since their detention started.

"You're just jealous 'cause he'd never let you do this." Gabriella didn't know what Ryan did, but Troy gasped loudly, and slowly let out the breath in a long moan of rapturous bliss. It outraged Gabriella that Ryan was able to do that to Troy, and she wasn't.

"Oh lord, Ryan." Troy rasped. He wrapped his arms around Ryan's neck and pulled his face down again. Ryan's mouth slowly trailed from Troy's lips to his cheek, then down his jawline to his neck. "Damn Ryan… oh, you're so hot."

Tears started to streak Gabriella's face as she helplessly watched Ryan ravage the man she was supposed to be celebrating her anniversary with. Troy and Ryan were obviously aware of this fact, and it only urged them on. Taylor sighed.

"Gabriella, so being so overdramatic."

"Overdramatic?!" Gabriella exclaimed. "Can you not see Ryan on top of Troy like some sort of animal?!"

"They're just doing it to get even with you." Taylor said, as if Troy and Ryan were just sticking their tongues at her, instead of inside each other's mouths. "Why don't you do some homework with me?"

"What, with Faggot McFag and his stupid boyfriend over there skanking the place up?" Gabriella spat.

"Gabriella, there's no reason to be mean." Taylor said. "Now come on. This will help us for the next Scholastic Decathlon." She pointed out the homework she was doing and pulled Gabriella into the seat beside her. Gabriella screamed irately before sitting down and trying to help Taylor with their math. She tried to focus on all the information Taylor was giving her, but it grew increasingly difficult with Troy screaming Ryan's name in the background. Troy and Ryan shared a maniacal grin as they sought vengeance. Revenge was sweet.

"But not as sweet as you, baby."

"I HATE you Troy Bolton!"
