No i don't own HSM or anything I just wish I did!


"NOT ON THE COUCH!" Troy groans frustrated as his friends just throw then self on the white couch, and his mother had clearly said, 'If you are sweaty, dirty or do anything that can give the couch stains, you are permanently banned from this house' His mother's voice was ringing in his ears. "Mom is going to kill me!!" He mutters to himself.

"Troy, chill!" A dark and very tall boy with a short haircut says named Zeke says carefree.

"It's very hard to chill when, you guys, are ruining the couch mom bought in Italy!" He says feeling the annoyance running around in his body. Why wasn't anyone listing to him, it was him who lived there, not them! Urgh!

The guys looked after Troy when he stomped away to his room, slamming the door. He walked over to the bathroom and took a quick shower washing of the sweat that had been collected on his body during the basketball game, then he puts on his black sweats and a band t-shirt. Not really caring if he looked awful at the moment. He sits down at the desk signing in on IM. He sighs searching if anyone that was okay to talk to was on, and the only one that could give him some sort of reasonable answer was Sharpay.

TB-Wildcatno1: What are you doing?

DazzlingPinkPrinsezz: Nothing really, just really bored, you?

TB-Wildcatno1: Haha okay xD No the guys have just ruined the couch mom bought in Italy -_-' trying to figure out a lie to save my own ass^^/

DazzlingPinkPrinsezz: Oh well then, I am gonna leave you to it, because mom wants us to one of those funny fundraisers -_-'

TB-Wildcatno1: Okay, have fun ^^/ am going to the other trying to see how mad they are... See ya!

Troy sighs and signs of and leaves his room going to the living room to see that the guys have left it, he sighs to himself, now he has to go look for them. "Guys?!" He shouts trying to make the search a little easier, when he hears noises from the basement, he walks down there seeing them playing some video games; his parents had made the basement, a place where Troy could hang out with his friends giving them some privacy.

"You are unbelievable… You know that?" Troy asks and sits down next to Chad in the red couch that was old and everyone wanted him to get a new one, but he couldn't. It was the last item that he had from the old times, times when he was truly happy.

"What, when you are mad it's the easiest thing to just leave you alone, otherwise you will be even more pissed off." Jason explains to his friend. The other just agree with their friend. "Yeah we invited Gabriella and Taylor over..." Jason adds.

"Can you at least ask me before you invite people over to my house?! Is that too much to ask from you?" Troy asks annoyed. He hated when they just assumed that he was okay with them inviting people over to his house. He leans back on the couch, sighs once again over his incredible – at the moment- annoying friends.

"We are jerks, we know!" Chad says softly to his best friend. "But you know that you wouldn't make a day without us either!" A smiles plays on Chad dark lips, making Troy smile as well. "Don't be mad at them, they are real retards!" Chad says in a joking tone.

"That I already now!" Troy chuckles softly and looks at Jason and Zeke who are in their own world playing the videogame. The girls came pretty quickly and Gabriella sat down in Troy's lap giving him a quick kiss and Taylor, well, she sat on the floor since the couch was fully occupied. "Jase, Z! Can we do something more social then playing video games?" Troy asks bored.

"Soon!" Zeke says without looking away from the TV screen for two seconds. Troy sighs at his obsessed friend, when they were at his house he was like this, no one ever got near the controls. "You have a problem, get help!" Troy advices his addicted friend. After about ten minutes the game is turned off and they just talk for a while.

"I wanna see Troy and Chad kiss!" Jason suddenly says.

"What?!" Chad and Troy exclaim at the same time. They look at Jason like he is a maniac who has escaped from the mental hospital.

"I have never seen two gays kiss before!" Jason says innocent.

"I am no gay I am bisexual!" Troy corrects his friend.

"Yeah whatever, you like guys too!" Jason says. "Come on just one kiss!" Jason begs.

"Uhm I have a girlfriend and Chad had a really bad break up!" Troy points out but no one seems to care, really wanting to see the boy-boy kiss really bad. Troy and Chad look at each other for a moment. "One kiss?" Troy asks giving up in the argument, Gabriella leaves his lap feeling that she is not in the right place this moment.

"Fine!" Chad sighs, the boys sit up in a better position looking each other deep in the eyes, they lean in slowly and their lips meet in the sweetest kiss either of them have ever experienced, Troy fights the urge to not bring up his hand and pull him closer to him, the electricity of the kiss is going around his body like a tornado and when that bond of the kiss is broken Troy looks away feeling a weak blush appear on his cheeks, both of them look away feeling nervous, both scared and curious if the other felt the power in the kiss. But neither of them noticed the brown sad eyes that saw the chemistry between them with the naked eye.

She felt somewhere inside of her hurt and betrayed by her own boyfriend, but she knew it wasn't his fault that they had kissed, and she couldn't blame him even if she wanted, she couldn't, every person on this planet was a treat to their relationship, with him being bisexual it was hard not to care about the looks he could give other girls and boys.

"That was…"

"You are a good kisser!"

Chad and Troy say at the exact same time making the words to a mud that no one really picked up, just a lot of slurs.

"That was the weirdest thing I ever seen!" Jason says letting his eyes wander between the two boys that just shared a kiss.

"Why was it weird?" Troy questions his friend. He has never felt such power in just one sweet innocent kiss and it was with his best friend! That was so wrong, but why did it seem so right at this moment, even though he had a girlfriend he had never felt such power in the kisses, not even when they have sex, he felt the connection he just felt with Chad.

"I don't know I guess it seems so weird to see two guys kiss… Not used to it I assume…" Jason says thoughtful, he is thinking through each word he said since he didn't want to hurt his friends about their sexuality.

"You can tell us if you thought it was disgusting, many people do Jase!" Chad says looking at the insecure friend.

"No it wasn't disgusting; it was not like it uses to be when Troy kisses Gabi I guess…" Jason shrugs and looks at the Zeke who is texting on his phone. "Ice queen again?" He asks slightly annoyed. Ever since Zeke had gotten Sharpay's number he had done nothing else but texting her, he smiles the whole time as he reads the answer.

"I think someone will be more than just fuck buddies in the future…" Troy says with a grin on his face, but Zeke just looks up and smiles at him and then he continues to text, "Why don't you call her? It's much more personal and she will like it more!" Troy adds afterwards.

"Nah… It's much more… fun… This way…" He says hesitating on the word fun insecure if he would say dirty or fun and he knew either way that his friends will react in the way they always do, saying it's too much information for them to handle.

"You two really need a hobby… Besides fucking each other!" Chad says.

"We do have hobbies but our favourite is fucking each other… Simple as that!" Zeke says carefree, the whole group decide that is time to leave the subject and they just talk for bit when everyone besides Chad decides to leave the house.

It was silence between the two boys, no one knew what to say, it was awkward in this moment sense neither of them knew what the other had felt about the kiss they had shared. "So ehm?" Troy had no idea what to say in this moment.

"It didn't mean anything, although I must admit you are a good kisser…" Chad says not really caring anymore, why would a stupid kiss that didn't mean anything, ruin almost a lifetime's friendship?

"Thanks… You were good too, you know…" He smiles softly and then there is silence again, but a comfortable silence, that neither of them wants to break, they just look at each other and smile. Troy yawns and stretches his body, he puts his head on Chad shoulder and rests his head, his eyes slowly getting heavier by the second.

"Troy I think we should go to bed…" Chad murmurs in his ear. Getting a low 'Mhm' out of Troy as an answer and Chad gets up pulls Troy up with him, like a zombie he follows Chad up to his own room, quickly he undresses himself and decides to skip to brush his teeth and he goes straight to bed, he let the cool sheet wrap securely around his almost naked body. Chad joins him in the bed and soon enough the both boys are of in a deep sleep.

"TROY!"

The voice is dark and harsh, that only meant one thing!

His parents are home! Quickly he gets out of the bed and leaves Chad behind, he pulls on his sweats on the way to the kitchen, "Mom, Dad!" He exclaims happily. He hugs both his parents and gives his mother a quick kiss on the cheek. His mother wears a white suit with black pumps and his father a dress-up shirt with the arms pulled up and a tie untied. "You were supposed to be home last night!" He says, hiding the hurt and upset in his voice.

"I know sweetie but they wanted me to go the dinner, it was important!" She says looking sadly at her son, "I hope you don't mind us missing your game…" No why would he?! He had only given the wildcats the chance to play against the whole country, why would he mind them missing one of the most important games in his life?!

"It's okay… We won by the way…" He says not really caring if they cared about him this moment.

"That's great baby, congratulations to the championships!" His mother says drinking her coffee, why did her dam business had to go so good, weren't they fine before?! He knows that he had been a lot happier back then.

"It wasn't championships, it was the game that I took the wildcats to the nationals! But as usual you don't care, because it doesn't involve your fucking business!" He says harshly to his mother then glares at her and then he stomps off, leaving his mother speechless behind, he doesn't want his mother to see him cry, she would not see how much this affected him! He would not give her that!

"Troy!" They shout after him, he just ignores them and runs to the security of his own room, Chad was still asleep so he can't have heard the scene that had been going on, and for that Troy is happy, he shouldn't have to worry about him now. Troy climbs into the warm bed again and falls asleep pretty quickly.

They both wake up a few hours later, Troy still pissed at his parents, he has told them a hundred times how much he wanted them there, but no his mothers business was far more important than the son they gave life to!

"Can I use the shower?" Chad asks softly, breaking Troy's thoughts.

"You don't have to ask, just do!" Troy smiles and watches Chad leave the bedroom, Troy can't help to check out his butt, that he found very cute! What the hell is he thinking, he is with Gabriella and they love each other, then why is he sitting here, cheeking his best friends butt out?! He shakes his head and walks to the walk in closet and takes out a pair of dark jeans and a white beater, he pulls on the clothes the same time as Chad walks out from the shower, showing of his well build body, Troy feels his own heart beat faster than usual and he starts to hand sweat and he has no idea what to say!

"Something wrong?" Chad asks nervously, looking around the room.

Except you are damn perfect for you own good? No nothing "E no, I just, I.. eh, I wait for you in the kitchen!" He finally gets out and runs to the kitchen, knowing he just made a complete fool out of himself, he groans and sees the note on the counter.

Dad has a meeting and I am at the office if you need me. Love you baby, love mom.

What a surprise that his mother is at the office, and that his dad has another meeting with the school. He sighs and knows that is Anne's day of but she is the caring person and knows that Troy wasn't a chef so she has every meal prepared for him on Sundays!

"So Anne what did you give me today?" He asks to no one and searches the fridge to find some breakfast for himself. Let's say that she had left him a smoothie strawberry banana, his favourite, and next to his there is a blueberry raspberry smoothie for Chad, and there are also two sandwiches and an apple, perfect breakfast for two athletic growing teenage boys. He puts it all on the table and sits down and starts slowly on the breakfast waiting for Chad to come down. He sits in silence and gets through half of his breakfast and then Chad comes down and joins him.

"Sorry I took so long, the fro was dripping!" He excuses himself and sits down on the other side of Troy.

"It's okay, it's always nice to sit alone sometimes…" Troy smiles weakly at Chad who is drinking his smoothie gladly and eats his sandwich.

"Yeah I know what you mean…" Chad says and it went silent, neither of them knows what to say so they eat in the silence and just enjoy each other's company in the late morning.

"So what are we up to today?" Troy asks looking at Chad.

"Don't know, there is a game at 3!" He says smiling.

"Lakers - Knicks?" Troy asks.

"You bet!" Chad smirks. "Your team is going down Troy!" Chad laughs.

"You really think that your Knicks can beat my Lakers?! Don't think so Chad, but don't cry when they lose big time!" Troy laughs.

The boys continue to tease each other when Mr. Bolton comes home. "Is there any lunch?" He asks when he goes through the lounge and straight to the kitchen leaving the two boys looking after him as he roams through the fridge and comes out with cold Chinese food. "I am starving!" He says with his mouth full of food.

"Dad please, you thought me not to talk with food in my mouth! Live like you teach!" Troy says seriously feeling embarrassed about his dad in front of Chad, couldn't he have some respect for his personal life!

"Sorry, I was just really hungry!" He says after he had swallowed the food in his mouths, "So what are you two boys up to?" He asks looking at them both.

"Nothing dad, we are gonna watch the game at 3" Troy wanting him to leave, why were they always putting up this perfect parent charade whenever he had friends over? Yeah that right, they wanna have a good reputation in case anyone decides to say something to the paper!

"Who is playing?" He asks getting more interested.

"Knicks - Lakers" He mumbles knowing that his dad loves when those teams play and then he won't leave them alone talking about one day they are gonna play in one of those teams, it was just one problem, Troy didn't want to play basketball as carrier. He wanted to become a lawyer, but his parents didn't know it yet!

"Awesome!" Then he begins the usual rambling of his son's future potential in one of those teams!

"Dad?" Troy asks carefully.

"Yeah?" His dad smiles warmly looking at his son curiously.

"Have you ever thought about what I want for my future?" He asks, Chad looks at his friend knowing what he is about to say.

"You have wanted this since you were a kid Troy, why give it up when you are so close to reach you dream?" His father asks suddenly sounding angry.

Troy stands up looking his dad in the eyes. "I am not a kid anymore dad! I don't wanna just be famous for being good at sports! I don't even wanna have a basketball scholarship! I wanna be a lawyer! That is my dream dad! My own dream I have carried since I was 13!" He shouts at his father. "You had your dreams, and you did the most of them, can you just let me have mine?" He begs his father.

"So you mean you don't wanna play basketball anymore?! I have been working my ass off to get you to the point you are today, and now you are telling me you don't even like basketball!" His father shouts back at his son, the anger clear in his voice.

"Do you understand why I didn't tell you? You get pissed as soon I get my own idea of what I want my future to be like! You try every way to push it down to the mud, so you can have your dreams through me!" Troy shouts again, the blood boiling in his body, he feels his body shaking.

"I only wants best for you Troy…" His father says trying to regain the calm.

"If you want what's best for me, let me figure out on my on what I wanna do with my future not you!" He turns around and walks to his room with Chad slowly following. "I hate him!" He says quietly as they are in the safety of his own room.

"At least he knows what you want Troy… I thought you did good.." Chad says encouraging.

"I just wonder how much I need to do for my parents to notice me, that they still have a son that needs them!" He sighs defeated.

"They are very focused on the business right now, they still love you Troy and nothing will ever change that…" Chad smiles warmly.

"I know, but I want them to be there for me at the moments that I really need them!" He sighs, Chad hugs his friends and they sit there for a while not saying anything to one another.

Monday at school, musical rehearsal!

"Troy! You need to be more focused on Sharpay!" Ms. Darbus ear-breaking voice shouts out the auditorium.

"I am trying! But I am really tired and this fucking suit isn't making it any better!" He complains to his teacher.

"The suit fitted perfectly a month ago!" Ms. Darbus says and looks at the suit Troy was wearing and then at Troy. "You are a little wide over your chest Mr. Bolton!" She points out.

"Yeah.. I do work out everyday…" Troy smiles to her.

"We have to make the suit bigger!" Then she walks away, leaving Troy behind with the words ringing in his ears, We have to make the suit bigger! We have to make the suit bigger! Was he fat? Did he need to lose weight? All these thoughts are running around his head.

"Troy we have lunch now…" Sharpay says and he walks numb to the cafeteria, the thoughts still running around like a track race inside his head, he has never cared before, so why is he so bothered by it now?

"Troy are you okay?" His girlfriend asks softly and places a kiss on his cheek, oh no, what if his friends thought he was fat too!? That he doesn't belong in the perfect group of theirs and he sits there thinking he belonged?

"I don't feel so well, I think I am going to head home…" He says and stands up from the table and tries not to run to his car, when he finally arrives home he is met by Anne who stands in the kitchen cooking fatty food that would go straight to his stomach making him look even fatter than he already did. He makes it to his room quickly and locks the door, ignoring Anne's questions. He pulls of his t-shirt and stands in front of the mirror scanning himself, he feels himself panic, the fat hangs over his jeans, it was a miracle that they are still one piece, he has breasts like a woman, he has several chins and his whole face is blown up. Why hasn't anyone told him what he looks like!?

A fat hideous monster that could explode any second now, why had he eaten all that food, all those chicken sandwiches with mayonnaise that Anne always made him and all her pasta dishes?! How could anyone let him go this far!?

He knows he has to do something about it, from now on Troy Bolton would live on water!

From now on Troy Bolton was under a strict diet!

Cause today is the first step towards his own hell!
