BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

"Uhhhhh!" I groaned loudly while reaching over to shut off the annoying sound. I should have gone to bed earlier. But I had a certain blonde on my mind all night. I managed to pull myself up in a sitting position on my bed and then a few minutes later my father came into my room.

"Troy, why aren't you ready? We have basketball practice, remember?" He asked.

"Sure dad. I'll be ready in twenty minutes." I said yawning, leave it to my dad to schedule practice early Saturday morning.

"Alright, I'll be downstairs waiting." He said before leaving.

I wiped some of the sleep out of my eyes before making my way to my bathroom and taking a quick shower. Afterwards I threw on some red basket ball shorts, a white t-shirt and some white Nikes. I then grabbed my East High Wildcats duffle bag and threw a change of clothes in there because my mom didn't like for me to come home smelling sweaty and musky. Once I was ready I ran downstairs to see that my dad was sitting down watching the news. He looked up at me and smiled.

"Ready?" He asked and I nodded in reply. We walked outside and threw our bags in the back of his red Honda Ridgeline Truck ( AN: ok, I don't know about cars so I just looked on Google for some trucks and this came up…it looks nice : ) ) .I climbed into the passenger seat as he climbed into the driver seat. I turned on the radio to a rock station and he drove off in the direction of school. It was silent for a few moments before my dad began to speak.

"So Troy, you didn't really tell me and your mom about last night. I mean, it must have been one hell of a night if you overslept." He said grinning at me.

Oh, dad if you only knew.

"Um…well you don't really want to know…" I said trying to drop the conversation. I don't think I can explain to my dad that I kissed the man of my dreams last night. Yep, that just won't work.

"I'm your father. Of course I want to know. I want to be a part of your life." He said and I looked at him like he was crazy. That totally sounds like something mom would say.

"Mom's been getting you to read those cheesy parenting books again?" I asked knowingly and he sighed.

"Yeah, she has. She keeps nagging me about them and I actually sat down and read one the other day. And let this stay between the both of us…I actually enjoyed it, very insightful." He said honestly. I looked at him and laughed.

"Seriously Troy, if you ever need me then I'm here for you." He said patting me on the shoulder.

Yeah, until you find out that I'm gay then we'll see.

"I know." I said.

A few moments later we arrived at the school and dad parked at the back entrance of the gym. We both grabbed our bags and walked in to see that the team was already in there ready to practice.

"How did you guys get in here?" My dad asked

"The janitor was outside when some of us arrived and he let us in." Chad explained. He just nodded and walked off to his office and a few minutes later he was back and ready to practice.

"Ok, Wildcats! Let's do some passing drills. First we'll start with star passing, ok. (AN: I had to look up some basketball stuff) Alright, everyone in position." We lined up in two diagonal lines, adjacent from each other. He threw Jason the ball and blew the whistle to signal him to begin. We continued this for about five minutes before moving on to a practice game. We split up into two teams. Chad, Jason, Jeff, Tyler and I were one team and the others were Zeke, Sean, Gavin, Matt and Aiden were another. We were all playing hard, giving it all we got. Hey, we're the Wildcats…that's what we do. It was about 10 minutes into the game and I was dribbling down the court to shoot the ball. I could see Zeke ahead of me just waiting to slap the ball out of my hands when the gym doors opened. I turned my head slightly to look when my eyes met with blue ones.

"Ry-"

THUD!

I had just collided with Zeke and boy did it hurt. I finally mustered the strength to get up and brushed myself off. I looked over at the bleachers and saw Sharpay waving at me seductively and Ryan sitting there looking concerned.

"Troy are you alright?" My dad asked me.

"I just hurt my leg a little. I just need to rest for a few minutes and then I'll be ready to play again." I lied. I was feeling fine. It was just a little fall. I really wanted to go and talk to Ryan. So I pretended to limp my way over to Ryan and Sharpay. When I got over there I sat down and propped my leg up on the bleacher.

"Are you alright?" Ryan asked me putting his hands on my shoulder. It sent chills up my spine and took everything for me to not kiss him right then and there.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just lied to my dad so I could come over here to talk to you." I told him smiling and he smiled back.

"Are you sure Troy?" Sharpay started, "I mean, I can rub it even if it hurts a little." She said brushing her hand against my leg and I flinched.

"No…I'm fine." I said through gritted teeth. Jeez…when will this girl ever get a hint?

"One day Troy, one day…" Sharpay said before getting up and walking off.

"What the hell?" I said confused.

"Don't pay attention to her. She's just frustrated that you're not responding to her attempts to "woo" you." Ryan said after his sister was out of the door.

I laughed at the comment. "So what were you two doing here anyway? I mean it's a Saturday. Shouldn't she be dragging you to the mall so you can help her pick out some more slutty clothes?"

"Haha…very funny." He said sarcastically.

"No…seriously. What were you two doing here?" I asked again.

"Well if you must know…Sharpay knew that you guys had practice today so she ordered me to come along. Plus…I couldn't possibly miss the chance to see sweaty guys running around making jump shots." Ryan said smiling wickedly.

Oh, gosh! Why does Ryan give me those looks? If he only knew what they do to me…

"C'mon, let's go out in the hallway." I said grabbing his hand.

"What? Won't your dad get mad?" He asked looking over at the other members still playing.

"They'll be alright. Now let's go before they see us." I said pulling him up and sneaking the both of us out in the hallway. I lead him around the corner and into a little nook where no one could see us. I looked him in his eyes and kissed him square on the lips. I couldn't take it any longer. I just had to do it. I roamed my hands all over his back and pressed my body into his and grinded into him at the same time. He moaned a little before deepening the kiss which caused me to moan. I moved my hands up to his hair and he did the same and it felt so damn good. This boy is good with his hands. I was about to slip him some tongue but he gently pushed me away and I was really disappointed.

"Troy…" Ryan started.

"I know. Not yet. You want to get to know me better. I want that too but you're just so damn sexy that just the little look makes me want to jump you." I said.

"Ha. Really? I'm that good looking?" He asked smiling.

"Yes you are and whoever tells you any different is freaking crazy and blind." I said kissing him on his neck, his cheek and then softly on his lips. I pulled away and he smiled again before lifting his head and putting his mouth close to my ear.

"Well…you're damn sexy yourself." He said and I groaned at the feeling of his breath on my skin. Why does he do this? Everything he does turns me on. He turned me slightly so he could get out of the nook.

"I'll see you in school on Monday. Then we can talk more about hanging out." He said and then walked away.

I stood in the nook for a little while longer to recover from the little hot moment that we just shared. Then I made my way back to the gym.
