What the hell had happened to me?

I wondered it all night. I thought about what had happened this after afternoon with Ryan for hours. During dinner my mother asked me if something was wrong but of course I said no. Even when Troy called me and I pretended to act normal he asked me what was wrong. As much as I hated to lie to him I kept denying that anything was wrong.

I went to bed nervous for the day to come. How was I going to react when I saw Ryan. Would people be able to tell something had happened? Will I be THAT obvious? I eventually fell asleep.


I quickly pressed my lips against Ryan's and he captured them. He pressed me even more into the wall as we kissed. Suddenly he broke away. He backed up and laughed. "You should probably leave." He smirked. I was shocked and hurt. I nodded and walked outside. I turned around and saw Ryan smirking through the doorway. "See you tomorrow" He said and closed the door.

I woke up breathing quickly. Had I really just had a dream about yesterday? I shuddered and shook off the thought. I got ready for school and left home. When I got to school I didn't get out of the car. I tried to reassure myself that the day would be fine and that maybe Ryan wouldn't be there again but in the back of my mind I knew I was wrong. I got out of the car and I suddenly felt someone grab hold of me. I gasped and jumped back. Troy was standing in front of me laughing.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." He laughed. I relaxed a bit but for some reason I couldn't help but feel sad that it wasn't Ryan. "How's it going, Gabs?" He asked putting his arm around me as we made our way into the school.

"Okay" I said smiling at him. He seemed to buy my fake happiness. We walked to English together. We sat down and as soon as we did so I saw Ryan and Sharpay walk into class. For some reason I expected Ryan to look how he did yesterday but he didn't. He was dressed like the normal Ryan. The Ryan that we see everyday. He wore a white, red, and orange stiped dress shirt and brown pants. Of course his outfit was topped off with a hat and he matched perfectly with Sharpay's outfit. I couldn't help but stare at him. I felt Troy put his hand on mine.

"What are you looking at?" He asked. I flushed and lowered my gaze to my desk.

"Nothing, Troy. I just zoned out." I smiled sweetly. He gave me a peck on the cheek.

"Mr.Bolton, Miss Montez, now is not the time for that." Our English teacher shouted. We both nodded and turned away embarrassed. I looked up and I saw Ryan looking at me. He smiled shyly and turned back to Sharpay. That was weird.

"So class, today we will be starting new projects which will be done in pairs," the teacher said. There were voices of excitement and Troy looked over at me and smiled, "But unfortunately for you I have picked the pairs," everyone groaned. I started to get nervous. What if I was paired with Ryan? "In pairs you will be doing a presentation on Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'." Even more groans. "I will now be calling out the pairs." I sat and waited patiently for my name. "Taylor and Sharpay, Troy and Kelsi, Chad and Jason," This was not good, "Martha and Zeke, and finally Ryan and Gabriella." I can't believe it. How will I be able to work with Ryan? I looked up nervously and saw Ryan heading my way.

"Good luck with the gay boy," Chad laughed. I shot him a glare and turned my attention back to Ryan. He sat in the seat beside me and pulled the desk closer to mine. I'm pretty sure he had heard what Chad said.

"Hi" He said still looking at his desk. I swallowed hard.

"Hey Ryan" I said quietly. "So… Should we get started?" I asked. He nodded.

"What are we gonna do for it?" He asked timidly. Why was he acting like this? Like nothing had happened? He was completely back to his normal self.

"I don't know. Let's brainstorm some ideas." We spent the rest of the class coming up with ideas. I was nervous as hell but whenever I looked at Ryan he seemed completely fine. Maybe… Maybe he didn't remember? Or maybe he had like an evil triplet that was pretending to be him yesterday. Soon the bell rang and class was over.

"Erm so do you want to meet this weekend to work on the presentation?" Ryan asked me. I dropped my books. Would we be alone? I don't know if I could handle that but I nodded a sure. "Okay um are you busy on Sunday?" He asked me and I shook my head. "Okay so do you want to come over to my place around noon?" I looked into his face and suddenly it changed. I wasn't looking into the face of the shy Ryan Evans. This was the 'real' Ryan. I took a step back.

"Okay" I said. He grinned and walked away. I stood still at my desk for a few moments I made my way out of the class and saw him down the hall. Suddenly he turned around and winked at me and then continued to walk away following his sister. Had anyone seen that? I looked around and everyone was doing their own thing not paying attention to me.

"Hey Gabs, come on! We're going to be late" I heard my best friend Taylor shout. I quickly ran to catch up to her. But all I could think about for the rest of the day was Sunday afternoon with Ryan Evans.
