DISCLAIMER: I Do not own High School Musical or any of the characters. I do own characters created by me and the story line.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know I said it was getting discontinued, but I got a spark and I am going to continue with this story. Not sure how the story will go now, because it's been a while so if I'm off on things I'm sorry in advance. Thank you for reviews. :]

TROY'S POV

Troy walked into the school. He wasn't ready to deal with his friends, or anyone else. So he made his way to the roof. He knew no one would find him there, and he could just think about what to do next. He needed a game plan, and fast.

He made it to the top and laid down on a bench. He covered his eyes with his hands and wiped away tears.

"What if she tells everyone? What will Chad, or the team, think? Will they kick me out? I can't kicked off the team, how will I get to college? They can't kick me off the team for this can they?" Tears began to fall down his face.

"What's wrong Troy?"

Troy sat up fast. He was afraid to turn around, he wasn't sure who he'd have to answer too.

"You can talk to me about anything, you know. I won't tell anyone. What's so bad that they could kick you off the team?" It was Ryan. Troy took a deep breath not sure what to say next. He turned around and Ryan was sitting next to him.

"Just things aren't going right." Troy said quietly, he still didn't know how to say what he needed too.

"Like what? I'm here for you." Ryan put his arm around Troy.

"Well, I just broke things off with Gabriella."

Ryan's eyes grew wider. "Why? What happened?"

"I like someone else?" Troy wondered why that came out as a question.

"So your going to get kicked off the team?" Ryan was confused.

"Well, the person I like isn't really the typical…"He trailed off and stopped.

"Typical what? Typical type of girl?" He was curious.

"Um…well I like." He started biting his lip and tears formed again.

"You can tell me, Troy." Ryan was serious now.

"I like…" He turned his head away from Ryan. "I like you Ryan."

RYAN'S POV

"Wait did Troy just say he liked me? I think he did! He just admitted he liked me! He broke up with Gabriella for me! Wait, he just broke up with Gabriella!" The thoughts kept flooding Ryan's mind. He didn't respond to Troy from them all.

"It's obvious you don't feel the same. I understand." Troy sputtered the words with tears falling down his cheeks.

"No! Troy, I like you a lot. I've liked you for the longest time. It's just surreal, you have to give me a minute to process this." His heart was pounding hard. The guy he liked since the first day he met him, is admitting that he likes him too. He needed a few minutes to process, and he didn't know what would happen next.

"Ryan, I'm not sure I'm ready for a relationship yet. I'm not sure I'm ready for the school to know, and Gabriella is pissed and she's going to tell everyone, and I can't go through it alone." He talked fast, the words were mashed together, Ryan could barely understand.

Ryan wrapped his arms around Troy and just held the boy. "Sh..Sh.. It's alright Troy. You don't have to face them alone. I'm here, I'll help you. We'll find Gabriella, you can explain. We can stop her, we're not even sure if she's going to do anything. It'll be alright, don't worry."

Troy just shook his head and cried into Ryan's shoulder. Ryan ran his hand through Troy's hair.

GABRIELLA'S POV

"Troy broke up with me! For a guy? How is that possible? No chemistry? Then what was that feeling when we kissed that I felt? This isn't possible." Gabriella was sitting at her desk, running her hand through her hair. She was crying, trying to sort out what was happening to her.

"What's wrong Gabbi?"

Gabriella looked up and seen Taylor looking at her with concern.

"Just a rough morning. Troy just broke up with me." She began crying hard. She hadn't said it out loud yet, and the pain began to hit her.

"What?!" Taylor hugged her. "Why?"

"He just said." Gabriella took a deep breath, nor sure whether or not to say why he had broke up with her.

"What did he say?" Taylor had an edge to her voice.

"He just said there wasn't chemistry like he thought, and he wasn't interested in…." Her voice trailed off not sure whether or not to continue.

"He wasn't interested in what?" Taylor's voice gained a harsh tone.

"He wasn't interested in me anymore. He likes someone else." She bit her tongue. She decided she'd wait until she had a chance to talk to him before she said anything to anyone.

"What? Who?!" Taylor was practically yelling.

"He didn't say, but it doesn't matter because all things come to an end I guess." She continued to cry.

Taylor didn't say anything more, she just held her friend while she cried.

TROY'S POV

Troy walked to his locker to get his books. He knew homeroom would be rough. He'd see Gabriella there, and he still wasn't sure what she would do.

"It'll be alright I'm here." Ryan whispered into Troy's ear.

Troy took a deep breath and walked into the room. Ryan was right behind him. The desks were filled except for two in the back corner. Troy searched and found Gabriella in the opposite corner with her head down. She was sobbing. Troy's felt a sharp pain in his heart. He couldn't stand to see her hurt, but staying with her would only hurt her more.

"It's alright. She'll be fine." Troy kept whispering to himself so he didn't start crying as well. He and Ryan took their seats and Mrs. Darbus began her daily lecture.

The bell rang. Troy jumped, he had been lost in thought the entire class period. He had thought about all the things that had happened in the last couple of days. All the conversations running through his mind, and wondered what would happen next.

He walked through the halls silently, with Ryan right behind him. Troy wondered what was running through Ryan's mind. He knew that Ryan would be there for him, but it must be hard to know that the person you like, is still upset about being gay and getting over his ex.

"Troy, are you alright? You've been in a trance all morning?" Troy jerked his head around, it wasn't Ryan's voice.

It was Chad. "Oh no, what am I going to tell him?" Troy thought to himself.

"Taylor told me you broke up for someone else." Troy's heart began to beat hard.

"Really?" He was worried about what all Taylor knew, what he knew.

"Yeah, so who's the girl?" He asked curiously.

"What?" Troy said very softly.

"Who's the girl? Taylor said you left her for someone else, who is it? Probably, a babe no doubt." He said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, listen I'll catch up with you later." Troy walked away avoiding the question.

"Okay?" Chad yelled after him.

Troy didn't turn around, he couldn't.

RYAN'S POV

"Okay, what's going on?" Sharpay asked Ryan softly.

"What?" Ryan asked, pretending to be clueless.

He really knew what she meant. He had been booming with happiness all morning, but filled with concern for the guy he was falling for as well.

"You know what I mean. Why are you so happy? Why have you been with Troy for most of the morning? Do you know why he and Gabriella broke up? Is that why your happy?" She didn't take a breath between questions.

"I'll tell you about it later, Shar." He said calmly, waiting for the high-pitched shriek he knew was about to come.

"Okay, and you WILL tell me." She said sternly and calmly. She walked off.

"Wow, that wasn't the response I expected." He said to himself.

"What were you expecting?" Troy asked shyly.

Ryan jumped. "Oh Troy. I didn't know you were behind me."

"What were you expecting?" he asked again.

"Oh, just a scream that would cause me to go deaf. She's not a fan of being out of the loop." Ryan said with a small smile.

"You can't tell her. Please." Troy said practically begging.

"I wouldn't. I know she'd keep it a secret, but I wouldn't do anything you don't want. Don't worry, Troy." Ryan said comfortingly.

"Okay, thanks Ryan." Troy said with a small smile.

They walked to their next class together.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I know it wasn't all that long, and it was scattered. I apologize, but I don't feel the same way as I did before. So I'm trying to get all the emotional parts down in this chapter. Also, I wanted Gabriella to have a change of heart. At first, I wanted her to be the villain of the story and sabotage everything. However, I'm leaving the sabotaging to someone else, who will come into play soon. Once again, REVIEWS are always appreciated. It'll get better soon.

ALSO: The story with the Evan's being witches is postponed until this story is completed.
