Chapter Two(Ryan)
My house seemed to be very quiet the night I returned home from the movies with Troy, and my house was never quiet…
"Aaaaaaaaah!" What did I tell you. "Sharpay, no!" That would be me screaming. Sharpay had seen me sneak out of the theatre with Troy, and was quite upset that I had blown her off for what she thought was a "boys night out". She was now standing next to my Troy Bolton poster, yes, I have a Troy Bolton poster, a lighter in her hand and a crazed look in her eyes. I snagged the poster from the school hallway before a major game about two weeks back, and have been coveting it ever since. "Sharpay, dear sister of mine, please! You must have mercy! I didn't mean to make you angry!"
"Then why, Ryan, did I catch you with Troy! Were you two spying on me? Were you watching my every move? I---well, I can't blame you, I am irresistible." She said, smiling and looking at her stunning reflection in the mirror.
"Look, I didn't mean to blow you off…" I took advantage of the moment while Sharpay was still slightly sedated by her own self-imposed glory. "We weren't spying on you, and I wasn't having a 'boys night out' with anybody. Troy just asked me out…"
"Oooh!" Sharpay squealed and began to poke my arm. "Troy asked you out? How'd it go, huh? Did he give you a demonstration on mouth-to-mouth?" she grinned slyly. I shook my head, my sister was crazy, but not totally off. I really wanted to kiss Troy in the theatre, but I couldn't gather enough courage to do so until the closing credits for the movie came on, and we noticed a rather pissed Sharpay glaring at us from afar. "Well, I guess I can forgive you this once," Sharpay began again. "But next time, just tell me your cute boyfriend wanted to make musical maneuvers in the back of the theatre with you." She smiled, and her tone was sympathetic, but Sharpay sympathetic, it wasn't like normal sympathy.
"He's not my boyfriend!" I protested.
"Then why'd he ask you out?" Sharpay inquired.
"I don't know, I guess he just wanted to hang out with me. Is it so hard to believe that I have guy friends now?" I asked, annoyed.
"If he just wanted to hang out, why'd he invite you to the movies so late at night?" Sharpay was wondering about all the details. I only shrugged. "Why'd you go to a chic flick? Why'd you sit not three, but four—four rows behind me?" That was my idea, but I didn't tell Sharpay that… "And why did you guys book it out of the theatre when I saw you two trying to suck face during the credits!" Sharpay was in interrogation mode now, the only way to stop her was to give her answers.
"Okay," I decided to level with her. She was, after all, my sister. She'd find out anyway, even if I didn't tell her. "I really like Troy, but I'm scared to find out his feelings, I mean, you know…if he's…like me…"
"Ryan," Sharpay's voice was soft and soothing. "No one can be like you. Only you can be like you. There's not another you in the world. That's what makes you you. And if I'm not mistaken, I think that's why Troy asked you out tonight. I think it's very obvious, he likes you."
I turned red, but I took control of my feelings.
"I'm not getting my hopes up." I said softly.
"You don't have to," Sharpay soothed, seeming so friendly… "I'm sure Troy will do that for you."…Friendliness gone.
"Yea well…"
"Just promise me that you won't give up this chance if Troy likes you, and I'll spare your f-ugly poster's life."
"Deal." I said quickly. Sharpay nodded and began to walk out of my room. "Oh, and by the way," she turned to face me. "If I ever find you two snogging in the back of a theatre, and I know you blew me off again for him and lied about it, your poster will cease to exist." She left me with my poster, I sighed and plopped on to my bed.

"Hey!" I stopped by Troy's locker in school the next day.
"Hi Ryan," he said smiling. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing," I casually tried to beat around the bush. "Just wanted to say thanks for last night, I had a great time."
"Yea, me too." Troy said.
"So…you wanna do it again sometime?" I asked, hopeful.
"Uh—sure," Troy said. "Um, how 'bout this Friday?"
"Yea!" I was quick to answer, which made Troy jump a bit. "I mean, sure! Um….how about a nice walk in the park? Unless you wanna do something else?"
"Walk in the park sounds great." Troy nodded. "I'll pick you up at your place at six?"
"Sure!" I said. "I'll be ready."

"I'm not ready!" I whined, fussing over my outfit. Troy was due any moment, and I was freaking out.
"Oh, stop yourself!" Sharpay said, helping me fix my clothes. "Troy won't pay that much attention to your clothes…only about 85 percent."
"What happens to the other 15 percent!" I was so nervous.
The knock at the door that followed didn't really calm my nerves any. Sharpay rushed to get it. "Sharpay! Try to stall him as long as you can!"
Sharpay opened the door, Troy stepped in.
"Hi Troy," Sharpay sweet-talked him. "You wanna some naked baby photos of Ryan?"
"Ok, let's go!" I ran down the stairs, grabbed Troy's arm, and pulled him out to his car. "Drive life your eyes depended on it! Which, unless you floor it, might actually be the case!" Troy stared at me.

"Sorry about before," I said as I walked with Troy in the park. "Sharpay can have some really weird ways to stall—I mean, entertain some people." Troy laughed.
"Well, I've never seen anyone run so fast," He said looking at me. "You should try out for basketball." I laughed, and stared deeply into his eyes. They drew me in, and I absorbed every bit of the, every bit of Troy, and before I knew it, our lips were pressed together. My eyes bulged, I expected Troy to have the same expression, but I was wrong. His eyes were closed, and he was drawing me in further into his soul, where I felt safe. We stayed like this for minutes, hours, days maybe…and I loved it…
…far in the distance, I saw Sharpay duck behind a bush, and smiled to myself.
