Chapter19: Let the Truth Sting

Enter troy

Me and Ryan sat anxiously in my car in the parking lot of east high. Or well at least I was waiting anxiously. This was they day I was going to come out to the school. It was finally time to show everyone my true feelings. And now I was just waiting on Ryan to stop brooding.

"Babe can we go now?" I asked

"Five more minutes troy" he said pretending to text on his cell. Oldest trick in the book.

"Ry I really want to do this and in about 10 minuets it's going to be too late" I said grabbing his hand. "Do you not want this or something?"

He sighed and looked at me with guilty eyes. "It's just are you sure this is what you want?" he said I had to stifle an eye roll.

"Ry we talked about this I don't care what people think I love you I want to be with you and I want the world to know"

Ryan blushed and smiled at me. I knew deep down he knew that what i was saying was the truth but I think he just liked hearing it. I couldn't blame him for being skeptical but I wanted this I wanted everyone to see how much I did in fact love Ryan Evans.

"So can we just go inside?" I asked.

"Ok fine" he said hardly being able to hold back a smile "but how do you want to do this?"

"Do what?"

"Troy haven't you put any thought into how you wanted to come out?" he asked "I mean you're not just saying that you are bi but you are also telling the school that you're dating me haven't you thought about a way that you wanted to let the student body know?"

"I um… well" In all of my excitement I never really thought about it. I never put into thought how I would tell the school that I was dating Ryan. In my head I just walked into the school and people just knew but that was just in my head the real world is so much different.

"How about this" Ryan said tightening the hold on my hand "we just walk in together hand in hand and let them come to their own conclusion"

I smiled he always knew what to do in these kind of situations it was kind if inspiring how well he kept his cool when it came to all of the jokes and cruelness he endures from the students here I just hope that I can do the same when the time comes. Which if this goes down today will be sooner then later. I opened the door and got out rounding the car so I could open Ryan's door for him.

"Such a gentleman" he said as I grabbed his hand in mine and squeezed he smiled weakly at me "here goes nothing"

"Or everything" I said in a voice that matched his own uneasiness. But the truth was it was true. I had already told the two people that I needed to know more then anything and that was my mom and dad. They both were surprised but they accepted me with open arms they knew which was half the battle whatever happened here even if it was bad it wouldn't be as horrible knowing that I had at least two important people in my life behind me one hundred percent.

Ryan and I walked from the parking lot hand in hand like we agreed and made out way to the front steps were could see students loitering before class started. My heart immediately began beating faster the closer we got to the building.

"Relax its going to be ok" Ryan whispered into my ear and I immediately began to calm down he was right it was going to be ok. I had my parents and Ryan and heck I even had Kelsey and Gabi if she ever talked to me again. I had a network of people to stand behind me. My heart began to slow down a little and I felt more level headed again. We reached the steps and were right away bombarded with looks. Some were surprised and others were looks of degust or anger. Some people looked and shrugged but most all looked like they just ate something really gross.

That's when the whispering started. Everyone looked to there friend and said something that I couldn't here I wanted to speed up but than they would win I was not going to back down I was going to stand tall next to my boyfriend and tell everyone who had a problem with it to fuck off.

We finally reached the door and entered only to run into the last person I wanted to see. "Troy?" chad said as he looked the both of us over. "Don't tell me ... are you holding his hand" he said comfortingly

"What the hell do you care?" I asked walking past him and taking Ryan with me.

"Troy what the hell are we not best friends anymore?" he asked angrily.

"You tell me?" I said turning back around just as angry.

"Ryan?" came a scream from the other side of the hall. Great the person I wanted to see even less then I wanted to see chad. The click of sharpays stilettos grew closer down the hallway behind us and Ryan let go of my hand. I also turned around to watch her come and wished I hadn't. She looked pissed more pissed then I have ever scene her.

"Why were you just holding troy Bolton's hand?" she asked lived. I didn't know if chad was still behind us I hoped he wasn't I could only deal with so many freak outs in one day and chads was one I wanted to put off for as long as possible.

"I well me and troy … we are well" Ryan mumbled. It degusted me how Ryan my strong opinionated and free-spirited Ryan became jelly under the wrath of his sister. He became weak he became someone else entirely when his sister was angry.

"Me and Ryan are together" I said for him "in love boyfriends whatever you want to call it I love you're brother"

She gasped and covered her mouth grilling Ryan as she did so. "You betrayed me" she said with disgust. Kelsey rocketed around the corner and ran up to us looking worried.

"Shit I knew this was going to happen" she said biting her lip.

"Wait you knew?" sharpay snapped at her "you knew they were together and didn't tell me?"

"Sharpay it's not her fault" Ryan said.

"Don't you dare talk to me you little faggot" she yelled there were a number of gasps one even from chad who was still standing in the background watching the altercation between Ryan and his sister. Sharpay turned around angrily shoving Kelsey out of her way in an angry stomp. Kelsey slammed into the lockers hard and fell to the ground.

"Kelsey" I said running to her aid. "Are you ok?"

"Ouch "she said feeling the back of her head "that's going to make a bump" I noticed that chad was also hunched over the injured composer but Ryan was not. Ryan was gone. I looked up and down the hallway to see Ryan walking away towards were his sister stormed off. I got up and ran towards him I wasn't going to let him do what I knew he was going to do.

"Ryan" I yelled "where are you going?"

He turned around tears drenching his face. "I have to find my sister troy" he said

"Why?" I asked "this is not you're fault I know how you get when you get around you're sister she changes you Ryan. she makes you the bad guy and you just crumble under her if you go to her now she will blame you for being in love with me she will say you betrayed her and you will apologize and beg for forgiveness for something that you shouldn't have to"

"I have to go" he said. I grabbed his hand.

"Please don't"

Ryan pulled away from me and continued down the hallway. I felt a tear roll down my cheek it made me angrier then anything knowing that she was going to make him fell awful about himself just because she didn't get what she wanted and there was nothing I could do about it.

"Troy" I head from behind.

"What?" I snapped at whoever it was. I just couldn't do it I thought I could come here and I knew there would be problems but I never counted on being left alone to deal with it while my boyfriend was off begging for forgiveness for absolutely nothing. I turned around to see chad standing there alone looking down.

"Kelsey went to the nurse's office" he said "I'm sorry"

"For what?" I asked still angry and not in the mood for this shit.

"For being such a dick all of those times" he said "If I hadn't acted like such a jerk I would have known you would have told me because I'm supposed to be you're best friend but I was stupid"

"Yeah you were" I said

" I thought you were trying to replace me with Ryan I thought you had found a new best friend" he said " I acted like a piece of shit towards him for so long and now I wish I could take everything I said back he looked defeated"

"That's not because of you chad" I snapped "he is strong stronger then you or me because he faces it everyday and its as wholes like you that make him fell like he was never good enough"

"I know and I'm sorry" he said

"You're sorry chad?" I said angrily "sorry doesn't cut it you bullied him every day and now you're sorry why because you're best friend finds him interesting all of the sudden?"

"Not at all I felt bad troy it makes me feel like shit" he said "I thought about it long and hard and I realized that what I did was stupid and cruel and wrong and I have lost a lot because of it my girlfriend my friends my respect for myself I just want it all back"

" even when you are trying to apologize its still all about you" I said " chad its one thing to say it and an entirely different thing to actually put it into action right now I don't even want to look at you're face but if you really do feel sorry then prove it"

"How?" he asked "what do you want me to do?"

"Be a better person" I said and turned around.

"Where are you going?" he asked as I began to walk away.

"I am going to find my boyfriend"
