Recap

While Troy and the Coach were talking Chad moved closer to the door to see if he could hear the conversation, he smiled when he realised they really did care about him.

Without making any noise he moved back to his original position so when Troy came out of the coaches' office he was able to pick his bag up and walk out to his locker with Troy.

If only they knew what was bothering me, if only they knew, Chad thought.

Chad and Troy had been best friends for years; in fact they were so close they were like brothers. Problem with brothers is they fight at times, these two were no exception as everyone found out when they were working at Lava Springs.

Thankfully they had sorted there problems out and Chad even got involved in the talent show at the end of the summer. Strangely ever since that night Chad had become more involved with the Drama club, even offering to help Mrs Darbus with the spring Musical! It should be noted Chad wasn't the only one who seemed to have got the performing bug, for the first time that anyone could remember the drama club was as popular as the Wildcats. However, it was Chad that really turned heads, not only had he started joining in, he was good at it.

Troy was happy to see his best mate having fun, and truth be told, was happy to be able to talk to Chad about something other than Basketball.

The difference in Chad hadn't gone unnoticed by Ryan, he had noticed there was a certain something between Troy and Chad which made them a good combination on stage.

After Lava Springs Ryan had been made the director of school productions, of course Darbus was still over seeing but would usually do whatever Ryan asked. Ryan had decided there might be some new characters for Chad and Troy to play in the next musical.

Meanwhile,

"So what do you want to do man?"

Troy asked as they headed out of the main doors of the school.

"Can we just go to my house and chill, I'm warn out after today, plus I've got something I've got to show you"

"Sure dude, might as well take the my truck"

Chad hadn't got round to getting a car yet, truth be told he didn't really have a clue what he should get so wanted Troy's advice on a good car!

They hoped in Troy's truck which groaned, spluttered and eventually started up, Chad started to wonder if Troy really was the best person to ask for car advice.

The ride to Chad's was uneventful with just the usual high school gossip, soon they were pulling up outside Chad's house.

Looking at the front of Chad's house troy started thinking of all the time he'd spent there, usually to get away from his dad going on about Basketball, don't get me wrong he loved it but there were times he didn't want to think about it. The irony was whenever he escaped from home he would usually end up at Chad's playing it.

"We have played a lot of Basketball haven't we?"

Chad had noticed the direction of Troy's gaze towards the hoop his Mum had put up outside the garage and realised what he was probably thinking about.

"Yeah we have, I'm kinda glad we are both have interests in more than just Basketball know though aren't you?"

"Yeah totally dude, I would never have done anything new if you and Ryan hadn't talked me into it"

Chad didn't miss the Smirk that came over Troy's face when he mentioned Ryan ...
