Author's Note: I did this chapter while I was waiting for the bathroom this morning, so it's going to be short, and slightly weird, but I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!

Chapter Two: Ryan's Fanclub

Everyone had a fanclub.

Except for Ryan, though.

He had a fanclub at the Lava Springs (the little girls who would visit the club often), and the gangle of every girl who wanted to be popular, and to be seen by Sharpay.

Ryan never really thought it'd become a problem (unless you counted that one time with the freshmen girls, and Chad and Troy had to help him out), because his "fanclub" never really did anything, unlike Troy's, who'd follow him around the halls, and shoot daggers at Gabriella.

Which was why, when he was walking with Haylie to get to her to her sixth hour (a class that involved Marketing and Retailing, and with his sister, no less!), they were stopped by a girl who could easily be passed as a sixteen year old, smiled at them, and Ryan didn't want to make Haylie late, so he smiled as well, and asked, "Can I help you?"

The girl contuined to smile, and she proclaimed, "I'm Tara Zimmerman, the president of your fanclub!"

Haylie looked at Ryan, and Ryan looked at her.

"Fanclub?" Haylie asked, and Ryan nodded, chuckling slightly.

"See: some of the guys have a group of girls who sort of follow them around, and I happen to be one of them that has one."

Haylie smiled.

"You mean, like your fanclub down at the Lava Springs?"

"No. This fanclub at school is slightly different--"

"Who's this?" Tara asked, looking at Haylie, and Ryan grinned.

"This is Haylie Anderson. My girlfriend." he replied, and Tara gave them a half-smile.

"Oh..well, that's nice. No one told me that you had a girlfriend."

"We just started going out last spring...come on, Haylie. I don't want you to be late for class. It was nice meeting you, Tara."

They walked down the hallway towards Mr. Zayes' classroom, and Haylie looked at him.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I don't know...I just feeling like's something is going to happen..."

They stopped walking, and Ryan gave her a small smile.

"Nothing is going to happen, okay? These girls are harmless...well, except for the freshmen girls. But, my point is: nothing is going to happen."

Haylie returned his smile, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Alright. If you say so."

"I know so."

The warning bell rang, and Ryan quickly dropped off Haylie, and ran to his classroom, thinking:

Is something going to happen?
