Author's Note: Ok, I would just like to say thank you for all of the reviews! I really appreciate them! Oh, and also, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SLASH THEN DON'T READ IT JUST TO FLAME ME JUST TO SAY HOW MUCH YOU HATE GAY PEOPLE! Sorry for the all of the capital letters but some people can't get it through their heads. So if you don't like it, just click the back button and read some Troyella story or something. So, here's chapter 3! Enjoy!

Oh, yeah! I would like to thank Dark Angel Kira for this idea. If it wasn't for her then I wouldn't have the third chapter up yet. So thank you! Oh if you haven't already please go and check out her Ryan and Troy stories, they rock!

I do not own The Skeleton Key!

The next day at school I just had to find Ryan. I had so much fun with him last night and he did too, unless he was humoring me. I hope not. I want to ask him if he would like to hang out again on Friday, but I think I should wait a little longer. I don't want him to think that I'm clingy or something. But what if he doesn't mind it? I finally turned the corner to his locker to see that he was putting his backpack away and I almost fell to the floor. He looked so good, like he does everyday. Why isn't every girl or gay guy talking about how hot he is? I mean they should get off my back for a while and go swoon over him. But if that happened then I would have competition and I do not like competition when is comes to relationships. I continued to walk to his locker and before I could call out his name, Sharpay made her way over to him. Great! Now I would have to deal with her. I just sighed and I greeted them both.

"Hey Ryan and Sharpay." I said smiling. Ryan turned his head and smiled at me and so did Sharpay.

"Hey Troy!" Ryan said in return. Sharpay just stared at me with her eyebrow cocked and smiling. I gave her a look and turned back to Ryan.

"So…Ryan, would you like to hang again out Friday, you know watch a couple of movies?" I asked him.

"Well…" Ryan began but he was cut off by Sharpay.

"What do you mean by "hang out again"?" She asked stepping in front of Ryan.

I rolled my eyes and answered her stupid question. "I mean, that we've hung out yesterday and I would like to again."

"So that's where you went last nigh!" Sharpay exclaimed turning Ryan.

"So, I can go out sometime, right?" Ryan asked and Sharpay just sighed.

"So do you want to hang out?" I asked again.

"I can't because I have to help Sharpay pick out a dress Friday night. You know for one of our God-awful dances." He answered.

"Oh." I said disappointed. Damn you Sharpay!

"You know what? Me, buying a dress can wait. We can all hang out together." Sharpay said abruptly.

Oh no! I bet she has some kind of plan to get near me.

"I don't know…what do you think Troy?" Ryan asked me.

I could say no and miss a chance to be close to Ryan or risk being groped on a couch by Sharpay. Damnit!

"Of course." I finally answered.

"Great! Meet us at our house, Friday night at 8. We'll provide all of the movies and snacks." Sharpay said with a devilish smirk before walking off to class.

"I'll try to protect you from Sharpay." Ryan told me once his sister disappeared around the corner.

I laughed and said, "Thanks."

"No problem." He said and then looked at his watch, "We should get to class too. Don't want to be bitched out by Mrs. Darbus."

"You're right." I said wrapping my arm around his shoulders absentmindedly.

"Uh…Troy?" Ryan said giving me a confused look. I realized what I doing and quickly removed my arm.

"Sorry." I said while blushing. He just shrugged and we walked to class.

I was so happy when Friday came around. It meant time with Ryan! After school had ended, I quickly went home. I had to do my chores, which I took my time on, and checked my e-mail. Since I still had a few hours before going over to Ryan's I decided to watch whatever was on MTV. Soon it was 7 o'clock, so I took a quick shower, combed my hair and put on some fresh clothes. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled.

"Damn, I look good!" I said to myself before walking downstairs. I told my parents goodbye and I was on my way to see Ryan.

I pulled up to the Evan's house about 10 minutes later. I had remembered where they had lived because of the countless that were thrown at the house. I remember going to the parties, trying my hardest to get Ryan to notice me without anyone else noticing what I was trying to do. But he would always be preoccupied with other guest to notice. I reached the front door and knocked. About a few seconds later the door swung open.

"Hello, Troy." Sharpay greeted me, trying to sound sexy. She was wearing a yellow tank-top that showed a little too much with a jean mini skirt and her hair was down like always. Man, was I in for a long night.

"Hi Sharpay, can I come in?"

"Of course." She said opening the door wider so I could come in and she closed it behind me.

"Um…where's Ryan?" I asked her.

"Oh, he's in the kitchen making us some snacks." She said pointing towards the kitchen and then as if on cue he walked out of the kitchen with a tray of snacks.

"Hey Troy, we're watching The Skeleton Key." He said.

"Ok, cool!" I said. After a few moments we were all seated on the couch. Ryan had tried to sit in the middle of me and Sharpay but she pushed him away ended sitting next to me. He gave me a sympathetic look and pressed play on the DVD remote. We were about half way into the movie when Sharpay screamed and jump –which was completely fake. She then grabbed a hold of my arm and buried her head into my chest. I tried to get her off of me but she wouldn't let go. I could have easily yelled at her but I was a guest in their house. Ryan then looked at me to see that I was struggling with his sister.

"Sharpay, the movie isn't even scary." He said rolling his eyes.

"Yes it is." She said still holding on to me. She then suddenly let me go and I sighed in relief. About ten minutes later, I felt something making its way up my thigh. I looked down to see Sharpay's hand moving towards my crotch. I've had enough! So I jumped off the couch.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked me putting the movie on pause.

"Uh…I'm sorry Ryan, but I have to go." I said to him. I looked at Sharpay who was smirking.

"Why?" He then answered his own question when he saw the look on his twin sister's face. He sighed.

"Alright, I'll walk you out." He said getting up. We both walked out of the house towards my car. Man was I glad to be away from her. "I'm sorry about my whore-ish sister."

"You don't have to apologize. It was all her." I said smiling at him.

"So I guess that I will see you on Monday?" He said before turning to walk back into his house. Before he could get far I lightly pulled him back and he gave me a questioning look.

"Do you want to go to the park? I mean, I really don't feel like going home." I asked.

"Yeah, sure." He said. We decided to walk to the park since it was close by. When we got there Ryan immediately climbed on the monkey bars and began hanging upside down on them. I laughed his childish habit. I then noticed his shirt was pulled up to reveal his stomach. It was bit pale and not all that muscular but it was still good looking. I need to stop staring before I freak him out.

"Troy, come and join me! This is so much fun!" Ryan said sounding like a five-year-old.

"You have got to be crazy. I'm not going to bust my ass on those things." I said shaking my head. He just laughed at me and said,

"You're not going to bust your a-" but he was cut off by hitting the grass.

"Oh my gosh Ryan!" I exclaimed while running over to him. "Are you alright." I asked bending down beside him.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said sitting up while brushing some of the grass off of him.

"See I told you could bust your ass on those things." I said.

"Whatever." He smiled at me.

"Oh, look you have grass in your hair," I said noticing pieces of it laying in his hair and then I pulled it out. My eyes then made contact with his. He just stared back at me with an expression that I couldn't decipher. I then did the only thing that came to mind. I kissed him. A few seconds later I pulled away and his face had an expression that was very easy to read- shock.
