Chapter 6:First Day

Ryan got out of his car feeling really nervous. His sister stood by his side
ready to support him when he faced his friends. They saw Gabriella, and Ryan
smiled over at her but Gabriella turned away quickly. Sharpay shrugged and
headed towards her with Ryan. She tapped her on the shoulder as she stood with
Taylor.

"Hey," Ryan started. "So I called you tonight... is something wrong?"
Ryan asked. He still couldn't understand why his friend had acted so strange
on the phone last night.

"We can't be friends any more." Gabriella said defiantly. Ryan's eyes
widened and he knew he was close to tears.

"What, why?" Ryan choked out. He needed to know why his heart was being
broken, why it felt as though it was shattering in his chest.

"Because you're gay." Gabriella said eventually. "And... well... I
don't like gay people." Ryan felt the tears in his eyes and he didn't care
that one by one they were slowly falling down his face.

"It's alright Gabriella. I understand." Ryan said quietly. "You know
I've had a million friends just like you. But I thought you were different. I
thought you saw me for me not just the gay guy. I wont stand in your way if I
repulse you so much." He shook his head and snapped the friendship bracelet
he wore on his wrist. She had given it to him after the baseball game and it
had been the happiest moment of his life. "Wont be needing that any more."
He said as the tiny beads clattered on the floor.

Gabriella had tears in her eyes as Ryan walked away from her. What had she
done?
She had ruined her friendship with one of her best friends just because her
mom didn't like gay people. Just because her mom told her too.

"I really hoped you would be different." Ryan whispered before leaving
her with Taylor.

"Ryan!" Troy shouted. Ryan stopped walking and turned around to face the
basketball player, anger and hurt built up inside him.

"You're just like you were in freshman year!" Ryan shouted, more people
looked there way now but Ryan didn't care. "You're a stupid homophobic jock
who has nothing better to do than beat up gay guys, I can't believe you Troy.
You told Gabriella my secret when I asked you not to tell her because I wanted
to tell her. But hey I guess you win, you never liked me hanging around with
her... well congratulations superstar she hates me. And you know what I hate
you! So much for our friendship it was fun whilst it lasted. Tell Chad I'm
sorry and I'll stay out of his life from now on." Ryan pushed past Troy.

Sharpay glared at Troy and walked over to him, slapping him so hard he was
sure he was going to have a bruise the shape of a hand print within an hour.
"Ryan was so scared that this would happen that he cried himself to sleep
last night!" Sharpay screamed.

"Since when do you care about Ryan?" Troy shouted. "You're always mean
to him!"

"I care more about Ryan than you or your friends ever did. I honestly
thought Gabriella might care turns out she didn't and now Ryan is hurting all
because of you. I hope you're happy Troy. Stay away from my brother." With
that she walked away.

During home room everyone was sat at their desks. Ryan was texting someone on
his phone whilst Kelsi, Taylor, Martha, Jason, Troy and Chad were all
exchanging looks between themselves; all trying not to look at Ryan. None of
them believed how Gabriella had acted, because of her they had all lost a
friend, a friend who needed them more than ever. They never thought that they
would be able to be disappointed in Gabriella, but they were.

Mrs Darbus walked into the class room with a loud hello but was returned by
quiet hellos. The class was far too quiet. "Why are you all so quiet on your
first day back at school? Surely you should all be excited about the year
ahead?"

Sharpay glared over at the jocks and the girls around them and pushed herself
out of her chair. "The reason the class is so quiet Mrs is because they
ruined my brothers life!" She stared over at Gabriella and all she could see
was anger. "He thought you were his first real friend but you were just
lying. You're nothing but a..."

"Mrs Evans, enough." Sharpay pouted and sat back down, she smiled weakly
over at her brother who was biting his lip and staring at the floor waiting
for the school day to end even though it had only just started.

Once homeroom finished Sharpay and Ryan headed towards their lockers and
Sharpay could tell that her brother was trying hard not to cry. "Ry... maybe
you should go home?" She suggested. "Take my car." Ryan was a little
started. Sharpay never let him drive her car. "Go home and have a rest, do
some yoga and relax. I don't like you being here when you're so upset. I'll
see you at home." She handed him the keys and he hugged her thanks and then
headed towards the car.

When he got home he didn't say anything to his parents just ran upstairs to
his bedroom shut the door with a loud bang and collapsed on his bed and cried.
When his mum knocked on the door asking what was wrong he shouted at her to go
away, he didn't want anyone to see him like this.
