Authors' Note: Sorry it took long to update! But us two (yeah, two, there's 2 people writing this thing) have been having a hectic life. Forgive us and PLEASE give reviewing if you want to see this story continue. We both have tricks up our sleeves and we HATE to be unable to use them due to lack of interest. Thank you for the reviews we have right now! They've made our day:)

Wait a minute! Ryan thought. I can't just stand here! I've got to do something!

And he did.

"Gabriella!" Ryan yelled, sprinting towards her.

She turned around quickly but didn't say anything.

"Gabs, what'd I do?", he managed to gasp out.

"Nothing! I'm just... busy."

"With what?" He questioned.

"With..." Think fast, Gabby!

"With homework." she finished.

"Oh. OK." Ryan said.

"Bye!" She said cheerfully, and went off relieved. Except she didn't know there was one little flaw in her story. They didn't have any homework, and Ryan knew that.

So what does Ryan do, you ask?

He runs home, and...

"SHARPAY!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

She ran down in her sweats and screamed back, "Oh for gosh sakes Ryan! I was busy! WHAT do you want?"

"What do I want? I want to know what you did to Gabriella."

"Montez? I didn't touch the thing. Why?"
"Because a few minutes ago we were fine, and right after you make "the thing" (Ryan makes air quotes when he says the thing) go into the bathroom with you, she thinks I'm deadly."

She shrugged and said bluntly, "Maybe she realized something about you in the bathroom."

She started hopping back up the stairs and coldly stated, "Have you thought about that?"
And Ryan hadn't.

Sharpay went to call Troy.

"Hello?" he said.

"Troy, Ryan's on to us! Think! We've got to make a plan..."

"um, what happened?" he asked, clearly clueless.

"What happened was Ryan noticed something different about Montez after she got out of the bathroom, and now he's supsicious, that's what happened!" she said, clearly getting a bit annoyed with Troy.

"Okay, so why don't you just be nice to Ryan and let him have Gabriella?" he suggested.

"Troy, why would I do th- that's a brilliant idea Troy!" she said.

"Really?" Troy stated, clearly amazed Sharpay accepted his plan.

"Yes, Troy! We could "let" Ryan get Gabriella, then do something to break them up, but what..." said Sharpay.

"Okay, so what are you going to do?" asked Troy.

"I'm going to have a talk with Montez and tell her she can have Ryan, then, we'll make them notice their differences and have them break up! You're brilliant, Troy!" she exclaimed.

"Um, okay..." he said.

"Hey, Montez!" Sharpay screamed, obviously oblivious to the people staring at her.

Garbriella flinched and turned around on instinct when she heard her name. She then realized that Sharpay Evan was adressing her.

She sighed. "What in heaven's name do you want NOW, Sharpay?"

"Come here," Sharpay said, beckoning.

Something lured Gabriella to listen.

When she reached her goal, Sharpay leaned in to whisper, "Hey, Montez, I seriously think that you should hang out with my bro now."

"What, Ryan?" She asked, and instantly regretted it, knowing she sounded stupid.

"OF COURSE, RYAN! WHO ELSE?" Sharpay raised her voice, making sure Gabriella knew how clueless she really sounded.

"Why?" She asked suspiciously.

"I wish I didn't have to say this, because it's incredibly sad... Ryan has been moping miserably all day, and he is bothering THE HECK of of me, so like, umm, take him off my hands and like, give him a like life or something." Sharpay kept saying like at the end, because she hadn't planned what she was going to say beforehand.

"Really?" Gabriella asked again, unable to mask the happiness in her voice.

"Really." Sharpay said tiredly and started playing with her perfectly manicured nails. "So yeah... eat lunch with him or whatever you're supposed to do." and she left.
