chapter 002:
"These Days are Empty and I Feel Like This One Was Written About Me."
At six o'clock, Ryan was interrupted from his song writing by the unmistakable chime of the front doorbell. Soon following were Sharpay's footsteps, presumably heading to answer the door.
"Hey Troy! Gabriella!"
Oh yes, his suspicions were confirmed. Ryan rolled his eyes, attention back to his computer.
"Ryan!" Sharpay screeched, "We have guests. Get down here now!"
Ryan groaned in frustration; he thought he would be ignored. Turning off his monitor and standing from his chair, Ryan trudged downstairs.
"Ryan, Troy and Gabriella are here. I promised them we could all hang out in the hot tub tonight," Sharpay informed. Troy offered a small grin as Gabriella waved.
Gabriella Montez was the new girl last year and also one of the smartest. She and Troy had hit it off last year and had even accidentally auditioned for the spring musicale, snagging the lead roles from Ryan and Sharpay. Sharpay was furious at first, but eventually learned to get along with the two and becoming best friends.
Ryan offered a weak smile to both. Unlike his sister, Ryan wasn't quite as close as Sharpay was to them. Even though neither of them had ever made fun of Ryan, their friends had which gave Ryan the right to be suspicious of them.
"So you two plan on changing?" Gabriella giggled, gesturing towards the twins's casual wear. Sharpay blushed.
"Of course. Just go ahead and make yourselves at home; the tub is in the back," Sharpay instructed. Both Gabriella and Troy headed out to the back while Sharpay and Ryan scurried upstairs to their rooms.
"I can't believe you told them I'd hang out with all you tonight," Ryan grumbled. Sharpay smiled.
"Come on, they're not that bad. Besides, don't you think Troy is cute?" Sharpay asked. Ryan stopped dead in his tracks. What kind of a question was that? Troy and his worlds never collided except in last period. Ryan shrugged.
"I mean, I guess..." He drifted. "Wait, wait, wait! Isn't he with Gabriella anyways?" Ryan asked. Sharpay smirked.
"Nope."
"Pfft, like he's even into guys anyway. His friends would've slaughtered him if he was," He argued. Shrapay only winked as she entered her room, shutting the door behind her. Troy Bolton liking him? Surely she was joking...
...or drunk.
...or both.
-HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM-
Sharpay, with no hesitation, slipped into the steamy water next to Gabriella.
"C'mon Ryan, it's nice," Gabriella encouraged. Ryan was a little surprised hearing an offer to join them from her, so he shrugged and got in between Troy and Sharpay.
"So, what do you all think of East High this year?" Sharpay asked breaking the ice.
"It's mostly the same as last year, Darbus as horrid as ever," Troy answered.
"Oh come on, she's not horrid. Right Ry?" She asked.
"Eh, she sort of bores me to death," Ryan admitted. Troy placed a hand on Ryan's shoulder.
"Ha! I knew I wasn't the only one who thought so," Troy cheered. Gabriella slowly raised her hand.
"I'm going to have to agree with them," she commented. Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"Whatever."
"Oh! I have an idea," Gabriella spoke, "let's play a little game of 'Truth or Dare'." All four seemed to agree, even Ryan who was warming up to the two guests. "Okay, I'll go first then," Gabriella declared. "Hm...Sharpay, truth or dare?"
"Truth," Sharpay answered. Gabriella grinned.
"Do you like anyone in East?" She asked. Sharpay sunk lower into the water.
"Uh-huh," she answered. Gabriella's eyes lit up.
"Oh, who?!" She excitedly inquired. Sharpay smirked.
"No way. Save that for another truth," she said. "Troy, truth or dare?" Troy seemed to ponder his options briefly before bravely accepting dare.
"Hm, alright. Troy, I dare you to kiss Ryan," she decided. Troy and Ryan both sent her disbelieving looks while Gabriella giggled.
"Are you - are you serious?" Troy asked. Ryan frowned.
"I'm right here, y'know," he stated. Troy sent him an apologetic look.
"Of course I'm serious," Sharpay nodded. Troy slowly turned to Ryan, hesitantly pecking his lips.
"Oh come on," Gabriella groaned, "That was not a kiss!" Troy sighed loudly, rolling his eyes and grabbing Ryan by the waist sliding him onto his lap. Troy roughly pressed his lips against Ryan's in an attempt to get both girls to stop bothering him. Ryan froze, hands reserved at his sides. Once Troy entered his tongue into his mouth, his eyes widened. What. The. Hell? Troy bit his lip gently as he pulled away.
"Happy?" He questioned as Ryan shakily sat back in his original spot, away from Troy's lap. Both girls nodded with satisfied, smug grins.
"Ryan, can you go get us some drinks?" Sharpay asked. Ryan eagerly nodded, willing to do anything to get out of the situation. He hopped out of the hot tub, wrapping a towel around his waist and swiftly heading to the kitchen. He gripped the marble counter top tightly as he closed his eyes and took a much needed deep breath.
"Are you okay?" A voice asked. Ryan eyes snapped open, quickly glancing at his white knuckles before snapping his head to the right. Speaking of the damned devil. There stood Troy Bolton, towel adorning his waist aswell. Ryan nodded, heading over to the cabinets and grabbing four glasses.
"I'm sorry," Troy apologized.
"For what?" Ryan asked, busying himself with the task of pouring drinks into all four glasses. Troy shrugged.
"For making you uncomfortable," Troy answered. Ryan shrugged.
"It's not like I've never kissed a boy before," he scoffed. He almost knocked the glasses over as he felt Troy's arms wrap around his waist. Okay what the hell? When did he get there? Ryan clenched his eyes shut, gulping. This had to be a dream; some horribly delicious dream. Troy turned Ryan around, trapping him between Troy and the counter.
"Can I?" Troy asked as he leant his face closer to Ryan's. Ryan gulped again before nodding. There was no way in hell he could deny a boy gazing longingly at him with those type of grey eyes; it was unheard of.
"Guys! What's taking so long?" Sharpay shouted from outside. Ryan pushed Troy off of him before the kiss could begin and returned to getting drinks. Doing other things would just lead to complicated trouble. Far too much trouble leading to far too much drama.
Drinks were the way to go.
