"Welcome back students to East High for the 08', 09' school year. Sign up sheets for activities are located in the main hall. For all freshmen who may need help finding classes, maps are located in the main office.
I hope all of you have a great first day back!"

As the announcements concluded the bell rang signaling the beginning of homeroom.

"ugh. I swear they talk to us like we are five," Sharpay began but noticed Ryan wasn't paying attention. She placed her hand in his face and snapped her fingers.

"Ry, are you listening..?" and still no response.

"Ryan!" she screamed, the whole class turned her direction, she threw an evil glare back at them causing them to instantly turn the other way.
She then realized he was staring at someone, but who? She followed his gaze until her eyes landed on the basketball superstar Troy Bolton.

Why would he be looking at Troy. I mean he was hot and very muscular, and had the most amazing baby blue eyes. She smirked thinking of her sudden epiphany.

"So I hear you like Troy Bolton?" She mumbled to her twin. His head snapped towards Sharpay, his expression spoke of fear until he erupted in hysterical laughter. In between his burst of laughter he managed to get out a sentence.

"You think I like Troy? I was looking at Kelsi." he continued to laugh.
Sharpay sat for a moment staring at Ryan. How could she have been wrong.
She was never wrong when it came to Ryan.

"Oh well." she said to herself almost instantly forgetting Ryan.

"Attention class, today during free period the drama club will be discussing our next musicale. All are encouraged to join us in the theatre!" Mrs. Darbus turned and grabbed papers from her desk and proceeded to pass them out.

After what seemed like and eternity to Ryan the bell rang releasing the students from homeroom.

Once free period had began Ryan found himself wandering slowly towards the auditorium when he remembered the Drama Club meeting.

"Shit!" he mumbled and began running towards the auditorium. Before he even realized it Ryan ran into something really hard. He fell backwards and hit the floor very hard.

"ow!" he looked and noticed some very large Nike shoes standing in front of him. He followed the body until he reached the face. He finally realized he was staring at Troy.

"Troy what are you doing here?"

"Well I was thinking more along the lines of sorry..." he smiled but noticed the worry in Ryan's face, he quickly began again.

"Gabriella dragged me down here, she wants me to audition, but I'm too busy." he extended his hand to Ryan. Ryan grabbed his hang and pulled himself up.

"That's cool, we could always use more people. Oh, by the way, sorry"
Ryan smiled as he entered the auditorium.

Troy walked down the aisle until he reached Gabriella and sat down next to her.

"So Wildcat, what were you and Ryan talking about?" Gabriella smiled up at Troy.

"Nothing, he ran into me. He was in a hurry to get here, like all the seats were gonna be gone or something." he smiled and looked over at Ryan who was staring back at him.

Ryan stood up and began walking towards Troy and Gabriella who were whispering and laughing

"Troy just tell him!" she whispered to Troy

"No I will not tell Ry..." he faded out as he saw Ryan standing over him.

"Tell me what?"

"Um, how much I like your hat today, it's nice." Troy lied not wanting to tell Ryan the truth. Ryan frowned almost as if he was hoping for another answer to his question. Why had he been thinking of Troy all morning. Actually he couldn't seem to get him out of his mind ever since Troy started working at his parents country club over the summer. Ryan finally realized he never replied back to Troys compliment.

"Oh, thank you. I guess" Ryan looked so confused. He looked from Gabriella to Troy and back to Gabriella. For some reason he felt like Troy wanted to say something else, but he wasn't sure what.

"So what's up?" Ryan began trying to make small talk.

"Um, actually talking about you" Gabriella smiled and elbowed Troy in the side.

"No we weren't, she's just making stuff up." He lied again not really wanting to tell the truth. The more he lied to Ryan the more he started to feel guilty about lying.

"Actually Ryan we were, I'll talk to you about after free period." Troy stated whilst staring down at the floor, not really wanting to tell Ryan the truth.

After free period ended Ryan met up with Troy backstage to discuss what this whole thing was about.

"OK," Troy began but hesitated, "I've been wanting to tell you this for the whole summer, but couldn't build up the courage to say it." he took a deep breath, and then began again, "I'm gay... and I've liked you for quite some time."

After saying it Troy began looking around making sure no one heard what he said, but he didn't notice the sophomore kid standing around the corner eavesdropping.

Ryan stared blankly at Troy.

"Aren't you dating Gabi?" Ryan was really confused by Troy's confession.

"She's just pretending to date me so no one knows the truth."

Ryan nodded like he understood, but he really didn't. So Troy Bolton was gay, that was clear. He liked him, the seemed less likely.

"OK, I need to think about this, it's a lot to process. Sorry." Ryan turned on the spot and slowly walked off. Troy did the same a little upset about Ryan's response. Now what would he do. He has liked Ryan for quite some time. There had been no one else. Just Ryan. Why did it hurt so much to be rejected like that. Would you even call that a rejection. Troy shook his head knowing now wasn't the time to think of this.

The sophomore kid still stood in the same spot in which he had heard the jaw dropping news.

"Troy Bolton is gay, wow, wait until everyone hears of this!"

ok this is the conclusion of my frist chapter I hope you liked it! The next will be up in a day or two!
