Author's Note: Gosh, I'm really not good with updating! I honestly have no idea where this story is going. I feel like I'm just dragging it on. But, I have to end it somewhere. Maybe here? I don't know. We'll see at the end of the chapter…ok? Enjoy!

Oh and there's a cliché in this chapter. So don't go all crazy on me.

April


I was rushing around my house to make sure that everything was perfect before Ryan arrived in ten minutes. I had showered and changed into much more appealing clothes. I had to look good for my man!

Gosh, I sound like a girl.

I went into my room and looked at myself in the mirror. Damn! No wonder Sharpay and Gabriella are all over me. I combed my hair over my eyes for a sexy and mysterious look and sprayed more cologne on. The doorbell ranged and I gave myself one more glance before going to open the door.

I opened the door and was greeted with a sexier-than-ever Ryan. I can't believe this hunk of a man was mine.

"Hey Ryan." I said, still looking him over.

"Hello Troy." He grinned and I motioned for him to come in. We immediately went up to my room.


The next day I woke up with my arms wrapped around Ryan. Even though it was a school night he decided to stay the night. I knew that my parents wouldn't mind and plus he didn't want to go home and face Sharpay's wrath with no witnesses.

I looked over at the pale figure lying closely next to me. I love him so much that it hurts and I wish that I we can stay like this forever, but we have to get up sometime right. I don't feel like staying after for detention. There's so many other things I could do…like Ryan. Whoa, I need to chill. We haven't gotten to that level yet and I think that it'll take a while because I want to do our relationship right. Even though we've fooled around sex can wait.

I placed my hand gently on his cheek and started tracing simple pattern on it. He stirred a bit but didn't wake. I smiled and moved a bit closer so I could kiss him. I brushed my lips against the corner of his mouth and he unconsciously moved. I shook my head before moving my mouth to his ear.

"Ryan, you have to get up." I whispered softly in his ear. He mumbled for five more minutes.

"I would agree, but I don't think either of us would want to spend our afternoon with Mrs. Darbus." I stated, caressing his cheek. At my words, he immediately jumped up. I laughed at his silliness and kissed him on the lips. We continued for a few moments before breaking for air.

"Good morning." He smiled.

"Morning." I replied.

"I need clothes." Ryan said, wiping the sleep from his eyes.

"Just shower here and I'll drive you to your house for clothes." I said, kissing him again. He nodded, agreeing with me.

"Let me shower first?" He asked.

"Of course."


After we were showered and dressed, I dropped him off at his house so he could retrieve some fresh clothes. I told him that I'd see him at school because I didn't need any confrontation from his sister. I knew that it was going to happen later on in the day, it was just too early to deal with it.

I pulled into the student parking lot and saw that Chad was standing next to his car looking worried. I turned off my car, grabbed my things and got out.

"Chad?" I called for him. He turned to look at me, before quickly walking over.

"Finally, you're here!" The bushy haired kid exclaimed.

"Yeah, why do you look like you did something that you weren't supposed to do?" I asked getting worried.

He clenched his teeth together before answering. "Well, it wasn't me who did something…"

"Chad…" I said, becoming impatient.

"Ok! You remember how Gabriella was talking all of that shit in the halls yesterday? Well, I think she truly meant it about you being sorry." Chad explained.

"Dude, what are you talking about?" I remembered what Gabriella said, but I didn't quite understand how that had to do with Chad.

"Just come inside and you'll see what I mean."

I followed him towards the school and we went inside. He led me down a few hallways and I soon realized that we were headed for my locker. There was a huge crowd standing by the row of lockers. Some had shock faces and others were laughing hysterically. They all seemed to notice my presence and they slowly backed away. I looked at my best friend, confused. He just nodded towards my locker and I almost threw up at the site. Someone had spray painted the word "fag" clear as day on my locker.

"Who the hell did this?!" I questioned. My voice was roaring with anger.

Everyone who was gathered around my lockers had walked away, claiming that they didn't know anything. Passerby's were staring at me strangely, but I didn't care. I wanted to know who would do such a thing.

I felt Chad's hand on my shoulder. "Man, I don't know. I came to school and was looking for you. I thought you'd be at your locker and that's when I found it. Then I remembered what happened yesterday and I immediately thought Gabriella."

I thought about what Chad had said. Gabriella was extremely pissed yesterday and had made threats. I didn't think twice about them, but now looking at my locker, she could more than likely be the evil culprit.

"I have to go find her!" I said angrily.

"I think you should cool off before you go and confront her." Chad suggested.

"No, she needs to be dealt with now. She has no right to do something like this!" I said before walking away and Chad following closely behind me.


Author's Note: That turned out pretty good. I know where I want to go with the next chapter, so it should be up soon. I hope you guys knew what the cliché was. It was used in just about every Tryan story back in 2006, when I first started writing for this lovely couple. Please review!

If you reviewed for the previous chapter 11, that was asking for help, I realize that you can't review for the new chapter 11 (if you reviewed before) since I replaced it. So please review anonymously. I love getting reviews, anonymous or signed in.
