Pairings:

Troy/Ryan

Chapter 2:Chapter 1

iTroy and Ryan had
become extremely close over the past few days; they loved hanging out with
each other. Even though Ryan loved being friends with Troy he still couldn't
stop thinking about everything that had happened that summer; his sister
hiring the wildcats, befriending them, having Gabriella as a best friend and
her leaving. Some times it was all a little too much for the blond boy,
especially when his sister was trying to do everything she could to fire the
wildcats so she could spend time alone with Troy.

Becoming friends with the wildcats was the best thing that had ever happened
in his life and was just glad that they were his friends for the sake of being
friends instead of popularity which had happened before.

Chad Danforth was an amazing friend, he felt as though he had been friends
with him ever since the staff baseball game and he was glad that Chad stayed
friends with him and even though he had friends in Kelsi and Martha; none of
them could be compared to the friendship he shared with Gabriella.

Gabriella was the first real friend he had made in a while, she had been the
only person other than anyone in his family to accept him for who he really
was, she was kind, loving, funny, and he couldn't help but miss her.

Troy's POV

It's been great hanging out with Ryan the past few days. I'm really glad that
he has agreed to help me with winning my friends back, and as much as I love
spending time with him, because who wouldn't? He's funny and caring and a
great guy but sometimes I feel like he doesn't know what a great person he is,
and I wish he would because I know everyone would see the better side of him
more often if he wasn't so insecure. He makes it easy for people to think that
he's Sharpay's poodle, when really he isn't. But I know that Gabriella is the
only person who had been able to show him that he can afford to shine in his
own light and not in someone else's shadow.

Some times it feels as though I'm just using him, and I think he feels it
too. Like the minute I win my friends back I'm not going to want to spend time
with him any more but it's not true, because after spending time with the
blond dancer I can't see myself not spending time with him. I guess I have a
lot to thank Gabriella for, she made East high a better place as cheesy and
corny as that sounds, every one knows it's true. The girl I had fallen in love
with had changed my life for the better, but thinking about Ryan now I guess
it's not just my life she's had an impact on.

End of Troy's POV

Troy walked into Lava Springs, he saw Sharpay sitting on one of her fabulous
pink sun loungers and he tried his best to just slip past her, but no one
slipped past Sharpay that easily. Troy wondered maybe if Ryan was maybe the
only one to go under her radar and thought hopefully one day he might show him
how to do it.

"I heard about Gabriella," She said as she stood up, Troy could tell that
the sympathy was put on. She pulled him into a very tight hug that he tried
his best to pull out of. "It's tragic her leaving. You must be so alone."
She said as she smiled warmly at him, though Troy could still see the cold
look in her eyes. "If you ever need company, we could hang out some time.
You know, just the two of us." She ran her fingers down his arms and he
couldn't help but shiver at the ghostly touch.

"No." He said firmly. "I'm tired of you trying to win be so I can be
just another lifeless pawn in your never ending games." He didn't know where
the strength to say all of this was coming from, but he knew it had to be
said. "Just stay with Zeke. I'm not interested Sharpay, I'm sorry but I'm
never going to be interested in you. I can't be interested in someone who is
cold and heartless, the person I'm interested is so much nicer than you. So
just, please, leave me alone." At the realisation of what he said Troy
covered his mouth, as though someone had taken his body and mind over and made
him say everything. Reality came in fast when he felt a cold hand slap his
face hard. Sharpay wanted to scream and Troy would have sworn he could see
actual steam coming from her ears. She stormed off and Troy rubbed his cheek
softly, his skin still burning. He sighed, though he couldn't deny the fact
that he was glad she was gone.

Troy looked up and saw Chad standing in front of him; he was wearing a white
tee with dark jeans he smiled awkwardly; it was the first time in weeks where
either boy had actually been alone with each other.

"Uh, hey." Chad felt suddenly nervous. "I... erm. Well I wanted to talk
to you... man I'm..." Chad couldn't find the words, he felt his chest
tighten when he saw Troy start to walk away. Chad knew he had to apologize, he
wanted to tell Troy how sorry he was, how much he didn't mean to say the
things he had. He knew Troy had done the right thing, they all had futures to
think about and Chad knew if he was in Troy's shoes he wouldn't have done
anything different even though he knew he would deny that. He was angry, and
he knew he was jealous but he missed his best friend more than anything.

He had to talk to Troy and he made a promise to himself that he would
befriend his friend once more, and he would help him get over Gabriella
because he could see how bad the brunette was taking it.

Flash back -

Chad saw Troy walking into the kitchens of Lava Springs and headed over to
Zeke.

"So what's it like playing with the Red Hawks?" Zeke asked, he was
curious, he knew that the only chance he would get to play with a team as
great as the Red Hawks would be in his dreams, and even though he was slightly
jealous of his friend and Captain he was also glad that one of their dreams
were coming true. Though he had a slight feeling he was one of the only people
who felt that way.

"It's awesome!" Troy gushed. "Playing with them it's like... playing in
a whole other world." He said as he took a plate with his food on he then
headed over and sat with Kelsi and Chad.

"Did you even think about including us Captain?" Chad asked bitterly.
Troy stared at his best friend, he put his fork down on his plate and the two
boys glared at each other.

"Look I didn't go to them. They came to me!" Troy said trying to defend
himself. "I wanted to include you guys, really, I did. But I got caught up
in the moment, and I'm sorry, I didn't even think about you..."

"You're always caught up in the moment Troy!" Chad snapped, he had had
enough of his best friend simply forgetting him. "I'm your best friend man,
but you, I don't even know who you are any more man. You've changed." Chad
sighed sadly, his words finally hitting home. Troy wasn't his best friend any
more.

"You think you know everything about me Chad? Well you're wrong! You don't
know anything about me Chad!" Troy shouted, causing a few more heads to turn
in their direction.

"Dude, we've been like brothers since pre-school. You know what, no before
then." Chad said loudly. "If I don't know you, than who does? You've
changed ever since you've been hanging around with the ice queen. You know
what man, you're turning into a ** Evans!" Chad yelled and Troy's eyes
widened. "You say that I don't know you Troy, but I do. It's you who
doesn't know yourself any more. So when you finally figure everything out, let
me know. Bye Bolton!" With that Chad just walked out of the kitchen, leaving
Troy staring at the floor dumbfounded.

August 14, 2008 -

Ryan sat on one of the benches, he stared at his reflection in the mirror he
noticed Chad standing in the doorway and motioned for him to come and sit next
to him. "What's up man?" Ryan asked, Chad smiled weakly at his newest
friend.

"Nothing... I just thought I'd come by and see you. We haven't hung out in
the past few days." Ryan nodded in agreement, he missed hanging out with
Chad almost as much as he missed Gabriella, and he knew Chad missed hanging
out with him as much as missed Troy but the jock held too much dignity and
pride to admit such a thing.

Sharpay was walking down the hall when she heard a conversation in one of the
many dance rooms. She could have sworn she recognised the voices and decided
to go and listen to what was going on, after all she was pretty sure one of
those voices was Ryan and she deemed that she had every right to know what was
going on in his life. She saw Ryan and Chad talking on one of the benches, she
hated the fact that Ryan, her devoted twin brother was now devoted to someone
else, someone who wasn't her and she had been trying to think of ways to get
her brother to come crawling back to her. She grinned wickedly to herself when
she realised she had the perfect plan, she walked away smiling as she hummer
to herself. Yes, she thought, she'd have Ryan back sooner rather than later.

Later that day Sharpay walked over to the kitchen where Chad was standing
near one of the stoves. Chad groaned when he saw Sharpay; she rarely came with
a happy greeting or a smile.

"You guys are friends with my brother right?" Sharpay asked as she
included a few other of the wildcats in her little plan. They all nodded.
"Well, I thought, you know considering you're all such good friends you'd
want to know his deepest darkest secret." Chad stared at Sharpay wondering
what she was going to say. What secret could Ryan possibly have that was so
dark that they'd need to know about?

"What secret?" Chad asked, it had to be something bad, he instantly began
to worry. "Is he okay?"

Sharpay smiled wider, "He's gay." She stated. She watched everyone's
reaction and she knew her plan had worked. "Toodles!" She said before
leaving the kitchen.

Chad looked over at Ryan, "Are you really..." He paused, "Gay?" The
word was said with such disgust that had Ryan shaking where he stood.

"Yeah," Ryan said weakly. "I'm gay, Chad." He closed his eyes when he
felt a sharp pain it his stomach, he screamed loudly though he knew it wasn't
doing any good when he felt another force of pain this time to his back where
he knew the other wildcats had joined in.

"So you're a dirty ** huh?" Chad mocked. "Should have known really, the
way you dress, the theatre obsession, the musicals...it all makes sense
now." Chad laughed as he kicked Ryan in the stomach, causing the bruised
blond to howl in pain.

"Chad please, stop!" Ryan begged. "I thought... I thought we were
friends." Chad ignored him and kicked harder each time.

After a few minutes Chad stopped beating and Ryan was covered in how own
blood and crying on the floor. Chad stared at Ryan, he was stuttering an
apology and it hit Chad, he stared at the blood on Ryan's pale face, and then
at his hands. He was covered in Ryan's blood and it was Ryan who was
apologising.

Chad could hear footsteps coming from the hallway and he and the rest of the
wildcats did a runner, but Chad took one last look at Ryan before leaving.

"Oh God Ryan!" A male voice shouted in panic.

Please read and review!

Should I continue?
