Author's Note: Ok, so this is going to be a full-length story and the couple is Ryan and Troy. I got the idea while I was listening to the song Poison by Bell Biv Devoe, they're an old 90's group. So yeah, it's not a songfic, I just like the song and the title will fit sooner in the story. I'm trying to make this different then rest of the Ryan and Troy stories on this fandom, so if you see a cliché in here then I really didn't mean it. Ok, so please enjoy!

I'm Troy Bolton. You guys may know me, you know East High's basketball star and basically the leader of the whole school. People worship me; they practically call me the King. The freshman's get on their knees and chant "All hail, King Troy." Well maybe not, but that would be cool. Everyone thinks that they know everything about me, but they really don't. They just think that they do. They would have never ever guessed in a million years that I, Troy Bolton, am gay. Yes, that's right. I'm gay, I have a thing for the male anatomy. If anyone ever found out then they would probably freak. The girls would probably be disappointed and the gay guys would probably do a little "cheer" dance.

You know, I'm a little surprised that no one has really figured it out yet. I mean, I never respond to Sharpay or Gabriella's constant flirting. Sharpay actually tried to flash me once by wearing a low cut shirt and leaning over my desk. I just secretly gave her a look of disgust and she gave up. But there is one person that I wouldn't mind flirting with me and that person is, ladies and gentleman, Ryan Evans-twin brother of the Ice Queen. Why, you ask. Well, it's because he is talented, nice and hot! I always stare at him and when he catches me I can only give a nervous smile and he smiles back. And every time he smiles, I just turn into a puddle on the floor. When we have to have partners for a certain assignment or project, I would ask him, but he would say no because he was either working with Sharpay or someone else asked him before I did. I would be disappointed but would quickly cover it up with a smile and he would just smile and you know what happens- I would melt of course. I was suddenly broken out of my thoughts by someone tapping me on the shoulder. I turned around to see that it was Gabriella. I cursed silently under my breath as she began talking.

"Troy, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies tonight. You know we can probably have some fun afterwards if you like." She said seductively. My God, when did she become such a slut?

"Umm…no thank you." I say politely. She stands in front of me for a few seconds before walking off in a huff. I was about to go back to my thoughts when I was tapped on the shoulder once again. I turned back around to see that it was Chad and he is giving me a weird look.

"What?"

"Troy, what just happened there?" He asked me while pointing over to where Gabriella was seated, I just shook my head.

"Nothing."

"Nothing? Troy, you just turned down one of East High's hottest girls. Are you crazy?" Chad asked me.

"Look Chad, I'm just not interested." I said simply. I then turned around back in my seat, hoping he would get the point. Who am I kidding? It's Chad, he never gets the point, so as I expected he continued talking. After a few seconds, I sighed, "I have to go to the bathroom. We'll talk later." He cocked his eyebrow at me before going to his seat. I walked up to the teacher's desk to get a bathroom pass and then I walked out.

"Thank you!" I whispered to myself when I entered the bathroom. Sometimes, I wish that I could just tell people that I'm gay, so they will leave me alone about turning down girls. I loitered in the bathroom for a while before deciding to go back to class. I was about to turn the corner to the classroom when I was knocked down by someone.

"Oh my gosh, are you alright!" The person exclaimed as they reached out their hand to help me up. I was about to curse at the person when I looked up to see that it was Ryan. His hand was still out in the air waiting for me to grab it and I did. Just touching his hand made me shiver. He pulled me up and let go of my hand. I was sort of sad, but at least I got to touch him.

"I'm alright." I said brushing myself off and giving him a smile and he, of course, smiled back. Man, he looked so good when he smiled.

"Well, that's good." He said before walking pass me. I turned around and before I lost the courage, I called out his name.

"Ryan." I called after him. He turned around and walked back to me.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight. You know, go to a movie." I was trying my hardest, not to make it sound like a date, but I think that it did.

He gave me a confused look and then said, "You want to hang out with me?"

"Well, yeah." I said, hoping that he would say yes.

"I don't think so, Troy." He said letting out a little laugh.

"This is not a joke, if that's what you're thinking. Please come." I said giving him a pleading look. Crap! Now he thinks that I'm desperate. He cocked his eyebrow up as to say that he was thinking. After a few moments he let out a small breath.

"Well, I guess I can since I have no plans tonight." He said.

"Great! I'll meet you at the movie theater at 7 pm." I said, secretly doing a happy dance in my mind.

"7 pm sharp, and if you're a minute late then I'm out." Ryan said to me, in this cute way that I couldn't help but giggle at.

"Alright." I said smiling and he grinned at me before walking to his destination. And I walked to the classroom with a huge smile on my face.
