Chapter 3:Making things right again

Ryan sat on his bed; his phone in his hand as he contemplated calling her. He
sighed he knew hearing her voice would make him feel better about things; but
it was a long distant call and it would remind him how far away his closest
friend really was. Shaking his head he picked up the phone and dialled the
number and waited for the ringing to stop and for her to answer.

"Hello?" A voice answered and he was pretty sure it wasn't Gabriella.

"Hey, erm... is Gabriella there?" Ryan asked nervously; he wasn't one for
speaking on the phone.

"Is this Ryan Evans?" The voice asked and Ryan was pretty sure the woman
on the phone was smiling.

"Yeah... it is."

"My daughter misses you so much," The voice sighed. "I'll go get her
just hold on a minute." Ryan nodded though he felt foolish because obviously
she couldn't see him.

"Gabby, Ryan Evans is on the phone for you." Her mum smiled and Gabriella
couldn't help but smile the brightest smile she had ever smiled in a while,
she hugged her mum tightly and headed over to the phone.

"Well if it isn't the drama king phoning little old me." Gabriella made
no attempt of hiding her excitement in her voice, she missed Ryan so much.
"Is everything okay? I mean you haven't called in a while."

"Yeah I mean, we all miss you." Ryan started a little unevenly, "Even
Troy he's really cut up about everything, he's been a little depressed."
Gabriella wanted to ask if he was okay but she couldn't find the words, she
missed everyone too. "Troy and Chad still aren't talking, not properly any
way. It's hard trying to be friends with them when they're not talking to each
other." Ryan sighed miserably.

"Well maybe the talent show Kelsi is working on will bring both boys back
together?" Gabriella suggested. "So you're like really close with both of
them now?" Gabriella asked, she hadn't really thought about them as friends
before.

"Well sort of I guess." Ryan shrugged. "I mean after the baseball game
me and Chad just sort of clicked. "I mean Chad started inviting me to
parties, sleep over and everything but I mean I think maybe..."

"Ryan," Gabriella laughed. "What's up?"

"I think Chad might be flirting with me." Ryan mumbled.

"Oh Ryan, you're so oblivious sometimes." Gabriella laughed.

"What do you mean?" Ryan sighed completely confused.

"Chad has been flirting with you ever since the baseball game." Gabriella
laughed. "He admitted that he had a crush on you, he told me that he doesn't
think you like him like that. Said you were more of a Troy kind of a guy."
Gabriella couldn't help but laugh.

"A Troy kind of guy?" Ryan laughed. "I mean that's completely
ridiculous, Troy isn't... I mean he's not gay!"

"Ryan!" Gabriella laughed, Ryan pouted he didn't understand why Gabriella
found this funny. Surely Troy wasn't gay; wasn't he actually Talking to Troy's
girlfriend now? "Ryan, calm down." Ryan pouted again. "Troy was jealous
because he saw me and you hanging out together. He thought I was cheating on
him with you, I mean I could see it in his eyes whenever he looked at you and
how he would just suddenly appear when we were together."

"Gabs, I'm so confused." Ryan sighed as he flopped down on his bed.
"Everything feels like it's going a hundred miles per hour and I just need
everything to stop."

"Ryan..."

"Sharpay is being meaner than ever. Chad and Troy aren't talking to each
other and I'm stuck in the middle... and I just... I really really miss you
Gabby."

Gabriella sighed and sat back on her bed, "I miss you too Ry. I wish we
never moved so I can be there with you." She could feel the tears in her
eyes and felt them fall. "I really miss you."

"Gabby... are you...are you crying?" Ryan asked softly. "Did I say
something wrong?"

"No, it's fine. I'm fine. I got to go Ry. Call me tomorrow or something.
Night Ryan, love you." Before Ryan had a chance to even say bye, Gabriella
had cut the call.

Troy stood in the doorway to the kitchens and sighed; today was the day of
the talent show. He took a deep breath when he realised Chad and the others
were walking towards him whispering to each other. When Chad noticed Troy he
stopped talking to Zeke he headed over to Troy.

"I'm sorry!" They both said quickly.

"Why are you sorry?" Troy asked. "You haven't done anything wrong. I
was the one who was being a self centred jerk. You were right I didn't care
about you guys all I could care about was myself." Troy looked at Chad and
sighed. "I ruined our friendship, I shouldn't be asking for your forgiveness
but I am. I'm sorry."

Chad shook his head and placed a hand on Troy's shoulder. "I'm sorry
because I was jealous and I should have supported you. You were concentrating
on your future and I was just being an idiot I guess.

"We should probably thank Ryan for this." Troy smiled when he realised
Ryan was watching them both a small smile on his face.

"Yeah Ryan helped me too." Chad grinned and pulled Ryan over to him; Troy
clapped a hand on his shoulder and Chad wrapped an arm around his waist.

"Thanks." Chad and Troy smiled at Ryan who blushed he was trying very
hard not to think about the shivers running up and down him because of Chad's
hand.

"Listen, Troy." Ryan started. "I love you my sister right, and as much
as a ** she is I really can't see her crash and burn on stage in front of
everyone. So I was wondering if you would... sing with her." Ryan asked
nervously, before Troy could speak he started again. "Just for tonight,
please. You wont have to sing with her ever again."

"Dude calm down." Ryan pouted; why was everyone always telling him to
calm down? "I'll do it. I'll sing with her."

"Thank you!" Troy patted Ryan on the shoulder.

Troy smiled and headed towards Sharpay's dressing room.

"Ms Evans, the show starts in five minutes. It's time for you to stop
crying and put your make up on." Sharpay looked at the attendant and moaned.

"I've been a good girl right?" Sharpay asked, the attendant looked rather
uncomfortable, "I gave my parent's gifts...okay so I paid with them with
their credit cards but what does that matter? I've been a good sister to Ryan.
So why does the world hate me?" The attendant shrugged, reminded her that
she had five minutes and left. Sharpay pouted and slumped her head against the
table and moaned.

Troy knocked on the door gently and walked in. "How's the show coming
along?" he asked.

"How do you think it's coming along?" She shouted. "It's not as if you
care. I've been having one hell of a week and I don't even have Ryan by my
side any more to help..."

"Well that's thing. Ryan asked me to come here and sing with you
tonight." Troy smiled.

"He did?" Sharpay asked a little surprised.

"Yeah he said to get ready and learn the new song." He smiled.

"What new song?" Sharpay shouted. Troy just walked out of the room and
laughed.

"Now it's time for Ms Evans to sing a song, with one of the staff members.
Our very own Troy Bolton." The crowd started to clap and cheer and Kelsi
started to play the piano and a slow melody drifted in the air.
