Sorry about the long wait. I've been busy with testing and homework and such. Anyways here's an update for you! I hope you enjoy!

"Why did you really come home today?" she asked and he bit his lip.

Should I tell her? "I...uhh...just didn't want to be in school today." he lied. He knew he lied really badly.

"You're a bad liar. Please tell me." she begged him.

"No reason." he lied again. Just tell her.

"You owe me Ry." she pointed to her head. She's right.

"Ok I don't want you to hate me for this ok?" he asked and she nodded her head. "Well I think that Sharpay and Troy are together." he said in one breath.

Gabriella stared at him like he was crazy. I don't believe that." she finally said after a few minutes of waiting.

"I'm sorry but I think they are." Ryan said stubbornly

"And what proof do you have?" she asked curiously. He stayed quiet and stared at his feet.

"That's what I thought. I'm leaving now." she grabbed her stuff and ran up the basement stairs.

"Wait Gabi." Ryan followed her up the stairs.

"What?" she asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry. I told you that you wouldn't want to know why I came home." he said. She rolled her eyes and opened the front door.

"See you tomorrow." she muttered and walked home.

Ryan slammed the door shut and let out a frustrated sigh. Why did I do that?

"You better." she smirked and he laughed. The hallway was empty now so Troy took this chance to kiss her. He pulled her close to him and she smiled. "Mr. Bolton what are you doing?" she joked and he smiled. He closed the gap between them with his lips. At first Sharpay was worried that someone might be watching. But that thought escaped her mind as she kissed back. Sharpay never wanted to let him go. She liked the feeling of his lips on hers. Troy also did too. He liked the flavor of watermelon from her lip gloss. He wanted access into her mouth which she gladly granted to him. Their tongues scrapped against each others. They both felt emotion and spark as they kissed. Troy slowly parted away smiling as well as Sharpay.

"My dad's going to kill me if I don't go." he said still holding her close to him.

"Well you better hurry. I can't kiss you if you're dead." she smiled and they kissed one last time before Troy ran off to the gym.

Sharpay watched as Troy ran off and smiled. She really liked him...a lot. She actually sort of felt bad for Gabriella. She pushed all those thoughts out of her head as she walked to her car. She threw her bag in the passengers seat and drove home.

Troy ran into the locker room and quickly changed for practice. He didn't want his dad to notice him being late for practice. He ran out of the locker room and into the gym. The team had already started their warm ups.

"Troy where were you?" Jack Bolton asked. He walked over to Troy and waited for his response.

"Sorry dad I was...uh...in the library." he lied. He knew his dad would catch him. He was never good at lying.

"Doing what?"

Crap he's catching on. "Doing homework. I would've told you sooner but I figured you wouldn't mind since it was school related." Troy said. Where did that come from?

"I'll let it slide this time Troy. 5 suicides Wildcats." he yelled and the team started running.

I guess my acting skills are better than I thought. Troy thought before running with the team

Sharpay just pulled into her driveway when she saw Gabriella running out of the house and towards hers. She tilted her head in confusion before getting out of the car with her stuff and running inside.

"Ryan?" she screamed

"In the kitchen!" he yelled back. She set her stuff down in the living room before preceding to the kitchen.

"Hey. Why did Montez just leave?" she asked as she grabbed an apple from the counter.

"She was just dropping off my homework. I left early today with a headache." he knew Sharpay would buy into it.

"Oh are you feeling better?" she asked playing along with him. She could tell he was lying. After all she was his twin.

"Yeah. I'm just going to rest." he dashed out of the kitchen and jolted up the stairs.

She smirked and rolled her eyes playfully. Why is he lying to me? She shrugged her shoulders and walked up the stairs and into her room. She turned the air conditioning on low and took out some pink nail polish. She decided it was a good time to do her nails.

The entire team was drenched with sweat by the time practice had ended. They slowly made their way to the locker room to shower and change.

"Where were you after school man?" Chad asked, not hearing the conversation he had with his dad before hand.

"Library." he sighed and walked to his locker. He grabbed a towel and his clothes before walking over to the showers. He took a quick shower and returned some books to his other locker. He walked out to his car and hopped in. Once he sat down he sighed. He was sore and tired from practice that night.

After a few minutes of relaxing he decided that he better get home before he gets in any trouble.

He drove to his house pretty fast- wanting to get some sleep. He walked inside the house and smelled his mom's homemade spaghetti sauce. He threw his stuff on the floor and walked into the kitchen.

"Smells great mom." he said and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge.

"Thanks sweety. How was your day?" she asked as she stirred the sauce

"Dad just gave a tough practice. I'm sore and tired." he said and sat down in a chair. He put his head down on the table and 'rested' his eyes.

"Troy no sleeping now. Dinner is almost done. I'll talk to your father tonight about harsh practices. Until then go get cleaned up and ready for dinner." she kicked him out of the kitchen.

Remind myself to thank mom later. He walked up the stairs and decided to take a nice shower. The school's shower didn't have hair cleaners or anything. He grabbed his pj's and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.

After a nice, long, relaxing shower Troy finally made his way downstairs- looking more alive than before.

"Nice of you to join us." his dad said as Troy walked into the dining room.

"You're just in time for dinner dear." his mom said.

He smiled and walked into the kitchen. He made his plate and walked into the dining room sitting down next to his mom. Immediately he started digging into his food.

"Slow down. You don't want to choke." she said smiling at her son.

He looked up at her with food hanging form his mouth. "Huh?" his food fell from his mouth as he spoke.

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Jack said

"Sorry." he said before taking another fork full of spaghetti in his mouth. His parents chuckled before getting up and putting their dishes in the dishwasher. He quickly finished his dinner. He out his dishes in the sink and ran upstairs to do his homework.

Gabi walked home and slowly walked into her house. She had started thinking about what Ryan said. It would make sense as to why she was looking at Troy when she was doing her song. She thought. What Ryan had said started to confuse her and really make her think.

" I guess a good nights sleep will fix this." she said to herself.

There's the update for today!! I'll try to post the next chapter sooner if I'm not busy with too much homework and such!! R&R
