"I think the main actress is pretty hawt…" Chad said, only to be argued with by Troy and Ryan. Chad, Troy, and Sharpay had started a movie, and after about 15 minutes, Ryan and Gabriella decided to join them. The boys have been making comments on every single thing the movie had to offer, especially the cast.
"She is not!" Troy protested. "Just look at her nose!"
"Ya, was her mother a vulture?" Ryan chimed in.
"You guys can be so immature." Sharpay complained, not getting much out of the movie by their constant commentary.
"Ryan, shouldn't we be doing our math?" Gabriella whispered, leaning closer to Ryan, who she was sitting next to. Ryan shuddered at the warmth of her breath in his ear, and put his arm around her.
"its fine, we can miss one night." He insisted, looking her in the eyes and slightly pouting.
"I suppose." She gave in, snuggling slightly closer to him. Chad say this and gave Ryan a look that said, You're pushing it Evans. Ryan shook his head and looked at the TV again.
"I do like her hat though." Ryan stated, referring to the main actress they were just talking about.
"You would Ryan." Troy laughed. Everyone laughed again as they all started making comments again. Ryan began to feel tired, and since he didn't even know what was going on in the move, or even what they were watching, he drifted off into his own little world.
"Should we wake them?"
"I don't know, they look pretty cute there already."
"Shut up, just wake them up."
"A little jealous Bolton?" Ryan started to stir, but didn't want to wake up. He refused to open his eyes and leave Gabriella.
"Uh, ya!" He heard Troy's voice. "He's kind of with my girlfriend!"
"You're jumping to conclusions Troy." This time he could hear his sister's voice. His senses started to work again and he could smell Gabriella's hair.
"Can someone wake them up now?" Troy sounded angry and annoyed.
"No prob, watch this." He heard Chad say, and then silence. But soon he heard the sound of soft breathing. "Yo Ryan, wake up!"
Ryan jumped at the sound of Chad's voice yelling in his ear. He fell of the couch and opened his eyes to see everyone looking at him. "Welcome back!" Chad smirked, reaching a hand out to help him up.
"What time is it?" Ryan asked, still confused on where he was.
"Time we should be leaving." Troy stated, sounding extremely bitter. He walked past Ryan, bumping his shoulder on his. Everyone watched him leave, not saying a word.
When the door slammed Gabriella looked at everyone, "What's his problem?"
"Well you did snuggle up with Ryan here and fall asleep." Chad pointed out the obvious.
"I didn't mean to, besides, I only cuddled up with Ry because he just so happened to be there at the time." She sighed, running towards the door.
"Ryan, you're terrible!" Chad said, whacking the side of his head. "Sometimes you need to think things through." He added, and then he too went outside, pulling out his phone.
"Hey Chad?" Ryan called.
"Ya?" Chad answered, turning around.
"You still can't say anything."
"Not even if someone threatens to tickle the world to death, or something like that." Chad answered, and left the house.
The next day when the Evans arrived at school, Ryan saw Troy and Gabriella talking.
"Troy, you're being a jerk." Gabriella shot.
"You're my girl, and you go off and do that with Ryan?"
"Nothing happened, we were just friends watching a movie and we fell asleep, that's all!" She protested.
Ryan tip toed up to them, and Troy glared at him. "Speaking of Ryan." He muttered.
"Look Troy, I'm sorry, I really am." Ryan sighed.
"I don't want to hear this Ryan." Ryan put his finger up to say he wasn't finished.
"I don't expect you to say you're sorry, but just hear me out." He looked at Troy, and he didn't do anything, so Ryan continued. "I shouldn't have put my arm around Gabs, and I probably shouldn't have fallen asleep like that. It was uncalled for and rude. She's my friend, and you are too. I didn't mean anything by what I did, I didn't see any harm, but I really should have thought about your feelings before I did anything." He took a deep breath and turned to Gabriella. "And Gabs, we shouldn't have even been watching that movie with them. You came over to help me in math, but I wasted your time, and had I taken responsibility, we probably wouldn't be in this mess." He looked down, not sure where to look.
"Ryan…" Gabriella said softly, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Gabs, I'm sorry, I'm bad at math, so you don't have to waste your time with me anymore." He blurted and started walking away, a tear in his eye. "You don't have to help me anymore."
Gabriella watched him leave and shot a glare at Troy. "You're no inconsiderate sometimes." She snorted and ran to catch up with Ryan, not waiting for an answer from Troy.
