When Ryan got to his house, Sharpay was already there.

"What took you so long?" Sharpay asked as Ryan walked through the door.

"I walked Natalie to her house so she didn't have to walk by herself."

"You so like her, Ry. And don't try to deny it. It's pretty obvious."

"OK, so I like her. And I'm walking her to Troy's house since she doesn't know where his house is."

"Ooh, you should so ask her out tonight."

"I don't know, Shar."

"You should. I'm pretty sure she likes you, too."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really."

"OK, maybe I'll ask her."

At exactly 6:15, Ryan rang Natalie's doorbell.

Natalie came to answer to the door.

"Mom, I'm leaving! I'll be back later!" She yelled in the house. "Hey Ryan."

"Hey. Ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's go."

They started walking down the street towards Troy's house. He didn't live too far away from Natalie.

"Um, Natalie."

"Yeah?"
"I have a, um, question to ask you."

"OK, ask away."

"I wanted to know if you maybe wanted to go to a movie or something Friday night."

Natalie tried not to show the smile that was forming across her face. It apparently didn't work. He noticed and started laughing.

"So, will you?" Ryan asked again.

"Yeah, I'd love to." Natalie replied.

"Great."

She had a huge smile on her face, and so did Ryan. They held hands and walked the rest of the way to Troy's house. Ryan was relieved that had gone well (and that she liked him back). Natalie was just as happy.

When they finally got to Troy's house, everyone else was already there. Except Gabriella. Ryan and Natalie still had smiles on their faces when they rang the doorbell. Sharpay answered it.

"Hey guys. Come on in.

"Hey." Ryan replied, and Sharpay noticed their smiles and holding hands.

"Is there something you would like to tell me?"

"Yeah, sure. Natalie said yes."

"Yay! I'm so happy for you two! See, I told you she liked you!"

"Thanks." They walked into the living room where everyone else already was.

"Hey guys." Ryan said.

"Hey Ryan. Hey Natalie." Troy greeted.

"Guess who got a date?" Sharpay said in a sing-song voice.

"Ryan you got a date?!" Chad asked.

"Thanks Shar. Yep, and it's with Natalie."

"Cool." Troy said

"So, where's Gabi?" Ryan asked, trying to get the attention off him and Natalie.

"She, uh, had to move all of a sudden, so we sorta, uh, broke up." Troy replied.

"Oh, sorry dude."

"It's OK. I was gonna break up with her anyways. So, what do you guys wanna do?"

"Let's go the park!" Chad exclaimed.

"That OK with everyone?" Troy asked.

"Yeah! Let's go!!"
