Disclaimer: Same one as chapter 1.
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews so far everyone! I debated putting this one later on in the sequence, but then I decided it works here. After all, Ryan was thinking about what he'd be without Kelsi in Routine, so I think that what he does here could be a logical next step - assuming that he'd decided he didn't want to know what he was without her and because of that, this is something he has to do. A way of reclaiming the backbone Sharpay apparently likes to steal. Though while this is a great moment for Ryan, I highly doubt Sharpay's going to be too thrilled. Like I've said in the other chapters, reviews are absolutely welcome. :)
Pride
"I won't do it," Ryan declared. Sharpay looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.
"You won't do what?" she demanded.
"I won't get you that song. I asked Kelsi to the prom because I liked her and because I like her, I refuse to use her just to make you happy," he said. Sharpay studied him for a moment and then pouted.
"But I'm your sister!" she whined. Ryan resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"Yes you are and I love you. But a man has to have his pride. You've deprived me of that for too long."
