Beginning Note: This is what happens when I'm not paying attention in business class and start singing HSM songs to myself. Heh. So I'm rewriting the plot, and rearranging characters to fit Tryan into the main plot. =3 I have no clue if this is gonna work out right, but I'mma try and at least get through the first movie. R&R please.

Disclaimer: I don't own HSM, Ryan, Troy, Sharpay, or Gabi, though I sometimes wish I owned Tryan. =3 I also don't own the song, or any of the other characters.

Troy sighed to himself as he walked into the party wandering awkwardly toward the stage where two apparent snow boarders were finishing a karaoke song. I can't believe mom made me come to this stupid party.

Amid his internal bitching he suddenly realized he was illuminated in a spotlight, noticing also that a skinny blonde boy in a rather flamboyant outfit was being pushed on stage as he walked up to the mic, ignoring the announcer as he made some quip about thanking him.

As the music started he glanced at the other boy then shrugged. What the hell, it can't hurt that much. And then the song started.

Living in my own world

Didn't understand

That anything can happen,

When you take a chance

Here Troy's part broke off and he paced slightly, seeing the generally scared look on the blonde's face, but just as he turned to say something to the announcer, a beautiful alto-tenor (I didn't even know I knew that…) voice sang out into the room.

I never believed in

What I couldn't see

I never opened my heart (ooh)

To all the possibilities

Here Troy broke back in, smiling at the other teen.

I know that something has changed (yeah)

Never felt this way

As they sang the next line together, their voices melded together harmoniously.

And right here tonight

This could be the start

Of something new

It feels so right

To be here with you

The blonde broke off again and Troy sang alone as he looked into the ice blue eyes of his momentary partner.

And now, looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

The start of something new

Now it was the blonde's turn for a solo

Now who'd've ever thought that

We'd both be here tonight

And the world looks so much brighter (yeah)

With you by my side

Here Troy harmonized with him again.

I know that something has changed

Never felt this way

I know it for real

This could be the start

Of something new

It feels so right

To be here with you

And now looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

The start of something new

The blonde dropped out again and Troy's voice swelled with emotion.

I never knew it could happen

'Till it happened to me

I didn't know it before

But now it's easy to see

More harmonizing

It's a start

Or something new

It feels so right

To be here with you

And now looking in your eyes

I fell in my heart

The start of something new

Just the blonde

The start of something new

Then Troy one last time

The start of something new

As the last note died out Troy found himself staring once more into the icy, but beautiful eyes of the slightly shorter blonde in front of him.

Suddenly the two boys were snapped back to reality to cheering and applause. Smiling awkwardly at each other as the announcer came on stage and took a mic, struggling to find something to say as the two of them walked out into the snow. "What's your name?"

"Uhm, R-Ryan." He blushed and looked up into the night sky.

"I'm Troy… I've uh, never done anything like that before, but it just felt really… cool." Troy followed Ryan's gaze and then turned back pulling out his phone. "Can I have your number?"

Ryan blushed again and nodded, blinking as Troy took a picture and then handing the other boy his phone after returning the favor.

Just as they handed each other's phones back the end of the countdown to midnight rang out, followed by cheers and fireworks in the sky, after watching the lights for a minute he turned to Troy and smiled apologetically. "I need to go tell my parents happy new year."

Troy nodded. "Yeah me too." And then awkwardly, "I mean, my parents not yours. I really feel like we found something special tonight…" he broke off as he turned to find that the blonde had slipped away and frowned a bit. Damn….

Two days later Troy returned to school, smiling awkwardly at his friends and basketball team, none of which noticed the way he seemed distracted as more than a passing glance. And then as he went into homeroom, generally distracted from 's customary rant he laid eyes on the blonde boy he had sung with and pulled out his phone, clicking on his contact and accidentally calling him.

Troy saw the blonde pull out his phone and look at it perplexedly, meeting his eyes across the room.

Troy flinched as Ms. Darbus pulled out her phone can and walked around the room, collecting phones as they went. "Ah, Mr. Evans I see your phone is part of this too, welcome to East High, we have a no tolerance policy here about cell phones. I hope you enjoy your experience here." She stalked back to her desk and slammed the can down. "Holidays are over people!"

Luckily the bell rang right then and they were saved from yet another Darbus rant about cell phones. Troy sprang up and stood outside the classroom as nonchalantly as he could and grabbed Ryan as he walked out last. "Hey."

Ryan's face lit up. "Hey! I didn't know you went here."

"Well yeah, we were just on vacation up there." Troy's voice was lowered as they walked toward the main entrance of the school.

"Why are you whispering?"

Troy chuckled awkwardly and shrugged, "well my friends know about the resort and the snowboarding I did but not about the" he lowered his voice again, "singing."

"Oh, so you don't think they'd take kindly to their star basketball man being a singer."

"Well uh, no… and probably not the fact that you're also a guy." Troy blushed awkwardly and looked around the entryway at the boards.

"There certainly are a lot of things going on at this school." Ryan said, twirling in place slowly and looking at all of the boards himself, focusing up on the musical that Ms. Darbus had mentioned only moments ago, only to be interrupted by a pretty blonde with a bright pink sharpie.

"Oh, were you going to sign up?" she asked, positively exuding arrogance.

Troy muttered "hi Sharpay." While avoiding her gaze.

Her smile brightened and she waved at him as Ryan said. "Oh no, I was just looking… there's a lot of things that go on at this school… way more than my old one." He smiled at her, as she looked him up and down then turned on her hell.

With a snide "bye Troy." She stalked off.

"Wow… she's… interesting." Ryan spoke slowly, looking at what she had written. "Sharpay and Gabriella Martin, huh?"

"Yeah, that's the Ice Queen and her twin sister. Sharpay practically runs this school and Gabi follows her around like a lost puppy… they're fraternal, so you know she's got dark hair and doesn't look the same… plus she just doesn't have the same conviction as Sharpay." He shrugged as the bell rang. "Oh shit, I can't be late to class again, I'll see you in detention later, yeah?"

Ryan smiled and nodded watching as the brunette ran off. Troy Bolton… I'm in love with the school's primo athlete. Nice job Evans. He sighed as he pulled a class schedule from his bag and moved off in opposite direction Troy had run.

Ending Note: Alright guys, first chapter is done, we're about ten minutes into the movie and dear god I love this idea, it means I have a legit reason to sit down and rewatch HSM. Heh. Anywho, let me know what you think so far, also, I'm aware that I fucked up some of the ordering and harmonizing in the song, but I thought it worked better the way I wrote if we had Troy and Ry singing instead of (dare I say it?) Troyella.
