-Gets pummeled by reviews like a bb's- "I'm okay none of my blood got on the towel..."
After school...
"Want to go to the movies tonight?" Ryan asked hopefully.
Gracelynn looked up at her boyfriend and smiled, she had been getting date offers all afternoon. "Sure, where do you want to go?"
"Movies?"
"Sure."
They continued walking hand in hand, when they heard yelling down the hall.
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO SELFISH? YOU WOULD RATHER LOOK AT CHEERLEADERS THAN ME, THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY!"
"I'm sorry, Tay, but like you said, its in my DNA."
"FORGET IT WE'RE THROUGH!"
Ryan and Grace turned the corner to see a teary Taylor run past them, with a confused Chad in the hallway.
"Uh, I have to go," Gracelynn said pointing over her shoulder.
"I understand, she's your best friend, go," Ryan said also somewhat confused.
Gracelynn ran down the hallway back to Taylor who had run into the library crying.
Twenty minutes later...
"I can't believe I didn't see it coming," Taylor babbled.
Gracelynn had been listening to her talk for the past 20 minutes, hoping Sharpay or Gabriella would show up, but they went out somewhere with their boyfriends or significant others.
"Don't you have a date tonight?" Taylor sobbed.
"Yes, but I'll cancel it for you," Gracelynn comforted.
"No, you two are the school's perfect couple. The longest you've ever broken up is for half a day, because you know how to talk it out. Heck, Troy and Gabi broke up for 3 weeks."
"Ryan and I talked in the park for 2 years to get there."
"Maybe, I should of tried that. Now go, do something, I'll be fine here," Taylor sniffed.
"You sure?" Gracelynn asked.
Taylor nodded, "Call me on my cell if you need anything."
Gracelynn sighed and walked to her locker that was down the hall.
"She okay?" her boyfriend who suddenly appeared at his locker asked.
"For now," Gracelynn said spinning the lock on her locker and opening it.
"What happened?"
"Chad looked a cheerleader for a second too long," Gracelynn sighed and looked down at the box at the bottom of her locker. She knew she had to do it.
"Hey, uh, Ry, my dad put this in my closet a while ago," Gracelynn said taking the box out of her locker and closing it.
"Yeah.." Ryan said with his head in his locker then coming out an closing it.
They walked side-by-side for several minutes, "It's yours," Gracelynn said looking up at her boyfriend.
"Mine?" he questioned.
Gracelynn handed him the box, and he opened it, "Oh," he said closing it once again.
"When you quit basketball, it sent my dad into this depressed state, and he put the basketball stuff in my closet, because he doesn't go in there. Then, he went on this ranting this up and down the hallway, so I went to the park to get away from it all. So, long story short, I met you that day at the park."
"So, you're saying, if I didn't quit basketball, therefore sending your father into a depressed state, we wouldn't of met at the park?" Ryan asked.
"Pretty much," Gracelynn said, "See you at six," she kissed his cheek and went down the hall to the gym where her dad's office was.
Ryan walked off down towards the parking lot.
...a couple hours later...
"Pink or the green? RYAN ARE YOU LISTENING?" Sharpay screeched holding up two tops to her chest.
"Sure, Shar," Ryan said combing his hair then turned to his twin, "Green."
"Thank you," she said going back down the hall.
Ryan sighed and finished combing his hair and fixed the collar on his shirt, "Where were you this afternoon," he yelled down the hall.
"Shopping, duh," Sharpay answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world walking out of her room wearing her new green top.
"Taylor broke up with Chad," Ryan sighed walking down the stairs.
"Again?"
"Aren't you and Zeke taking a break?" Ryan asked as he turned around as he reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Yes, I'm going out with Liam Rhodes, from acting camp," Sharpay stated passing her brother. "Don't stay up."
"Be careful," Ryan said to his sister who was halfway out the door.
"Uhuh," he heard. "Isn't it your five-month today? Gold isn't it?" Sharpay said peeking back through the door.
Ryan rolled his eyes and fished a box out of his pocket and showed Sharpay, "Oh, pretty, tootles."
The Bolton Residence...
Ryan was his normal nervous self when he knocked on the Bolton's front door. Of all people to answer the door, Jack opened to door.
"Ryan?"
"Coach Bolton, I'm uh here to pick up Gracelynn?"
"Oh, right, come on in," Jack said opening the door wider.
