Ladies and Gentlemen Ch. 6

Chapter 6

Ryan sat there, his eyes looking around the cafeteria nervously.
"Umm...It looks like it's just me and you here now. It's amazing how fast a
table can clear out." He laughed, his nerves obviously showing.

"...Yeah, amazing isn't it?" Chad glanced over at Ryan, a small smile
playing on his lips. Ryan looked really good today, despite the fact that
he was in the hospital all weekend. "Umm..." Chad looked down at his
half eaten plate of food. "So...how is Sharpay feeling?"

"Oh...She's doing fine, She gets better daily...thank god. For a minute
there I thought I was going to lose her. I can't even imagine life
without Sharpay. I don't think I could live without her. She's the most
important person in my life, she means the world to me." Ryan let a smile
appear at the thought of his sister.

"Yeah, I'm happy she's okay. East High would not be the same without our
Drama princess bossing everyone around," He laughed slightly. Chad didn't
not like Sharpay, He just didn't know her very well, but he could tell
that she meant the world to Ryan. He wished someday he could be that
important to the blonde boy sitting in front of him, but he doubted that
would ever happen. "So, how is you wrist and your leg?

"Oh, I'm doing great, no need to worry there. I mean I am here, am I not?"
Ryan laughed slightly, wondering what he should say. He may be the most
flamboyant boy at school, but he still sucked at having conversations,
unless they were with his sister. "It sucks that everyone had to worry
about me and Sharpay...even though I didn't know so much of the school
cared...I guess I was wrong." Ryan looked at his plate nervously. (I
wish I could just tell him, I wish it was that easy. But now that we are
friends...at least I hope we are, I don't wanna ruin that.) He sat
there lost in thought for a second before looking up to see Chad grinning
at him. "What?"

"What were you thinking about?" Chad smiled slightly as he asked.

"Oh, I was just thinking about Sharpay and wondering how different
things are going to be here. I mean before this, me and you never talked, I
was the drama geek and you were the annoying jock...no offence"

"Haha...none taken" Chad gave Ryan a look that urged him to continue
his thought.

"Well, when Sharpay comes back I'll probably go back to following her
around," he picked up his fork and slowly just kind of twirled it in his
hands as he spoke. "I was just wondering where that left...you...and
the other wildcats. I mean I love Sharpay, but I get the feeling that when
she comes back to school things will just go back to the way they were.
No offence but I don't think Sharpay would like hanging out with you
too much. She'll prolly go back to her group of friends and I will end up
following her."

"Ah, you're worried you might lose us wildcats as friends?" Chad looked
at him sadness showing in his face. "I don't think I can let that
happen."

"What do you mean?" Ryan glanced at him quizically.

"Well, since we started talking we have just kind of connected...I mean
here we are talking. If you would have asked me if I would be talking
to you a week ago I would have said hell no...he's the drama geek and I
hate him...no offence" Chad smiled slightly his eyes still on his
plate.

"None taken...continue."

"Well, since we started talking, You have already opened up to me and I
feel like I can open up to you. I mean yeah I have Troy and I have
known him since ...forever and all. I could probably tell him anything, but
since we started talking it feels nice not having to tell Troy
everything, I feel I can tell you things too, and I do not wanna lose that."
Chad glanced over at Ryan finally taking his eyes off his plate. Chad
Danforth had never been so nervous to talk to someone before.

Ryan's smile was so big and he felt like he wouldn't be able to stop
smiling. What Chad just said meant so much to him, his heart was still
jumping. "Well then, I guess we'll have to figure something out then, won't
we?" His smile was obviously contagious because now Chad was giving Ryan
a huge smile.

"Yeah, I guess we will." He looked around the lunch room, still smiling, his
heart told him he was on top of the world right now...all this feeling
just because of the boy next to him...the drama geek. "So you should
come hang out with me, Troy and the rest of the gang. If we don't get to
hang out at school because you have a different crowd here, then we can
hang out after school...right?"

"Of course, I would love that." For once in his life Ryan felt like he
was a wildcat and not a foreign who just dressed better then everyone
else. "But you know...if we are going to start hanging out...you need to
learn how to dress," Ryan laughed so hard as he finished the sentence.

"Hey Evans...what's wrong with the way I dress?" Chad was also laughing
as he talked.

"Do you really want me to name off the things that are wrong with how
you dress?" Ryan started pointing at Chad's shirt but Chad stopped him
taking ahold of his wrist.

"Umm...actually, no." Chad still had a smile on his face as he looked
into Ryan's eye's his hand finally letting go of Ryan's wrist. (I need to
tell him...seeing him and not being able to hold him...it's almost
torture...almost...one more wise crack about my clothing and he's going to
get it.)

Ryan glanced at Chad. "What are you thinking?"

"Hey I asked you that same question..."

"Yeah, and now I want you to answer it," Ryan let out a little chuckle.

"I was just thinking that if you made one more wise crack about my
clothing I would have to add a black and blue mark to your pale face." Chad
laughed a little more too. He was happy he could laugh with Ryan...even if nothing else happened, at least they were friends.

"Fine, I'll leave your horrible fashion sense alone then," Ryan clasped
his hands over his mouth. "Oops...damn, I guess this will be harder then I
thought." His smile stretching even farther. He was happy that Chad
stayed and talked to him. This is the most fun he has ever had in the
lunchroom since most of the time he has to listen to Sharpay talk about
whats in the latest gossip magazine. He loves drama and gossip but this
was better...because he was with Chad and that is all that mattered right
now.

"Well, I guess I can give you a few warnings...but keep it up and I will
make good on that threat."

"Oh thank you, all great and merciful Chad" Ryan broke into another fit
of laughter.

"Well, I guess we should probably get going...the bell is going to ring
soon." Chad stood up from the table, his heart beating a million miles an
hour "Umm...Ryan?"

"Yeah?" Ryan asked as he stood up and pushed his chair in.

"...I was just wondering if...maybe...possibly...you would like to..."
Chad looked down at his shoes... "Nevermind...forget I said anything."

"Chad...what were you going to say" Ryan had a pretty good guess but he
wanted to make sure.

"Nothing...just forget it." Chad turned and started walking away when he
felt Ryans hand on his wrist turning him around and before he knew it
their lips met. It was only for a second but it was the best second of
Chad's life and he didn't want it to end.
