Disclaimer: I don't own High school musical…shocked, no?
A/N: This is in fact a SLASH story. Meaning relations between two people of the same gender. I hardly need to point out the no one is forcing you to read this so if you don't like it then don't read, it is as simple as that and if you do leave me a flame then I am just going to think that you are an idiot for reading something you obviously didn't approve of in the first place! So once again, if you leave me a flame saying "Eww, this is gross" or something along those lines I will laugh at you! Other than that feel free to review, flames are frickin hilarious and constructive criticism is appreciated! Much Love! (The first chapter is short) I love reviews!
Troy Bolton…..Troy fucking Bolton. Now there was a sight to behold. He might as well have been a damn god the way he was viewed at school, and in all purposes he practically was. The way people ogled him at East High was enough to make you sick. You know how the old saying goes, women wanted him, men wanted to be him. Hell, everyone's damn dog wanted him as an owner, the lucky shit.
When viewed by the public eye Troy appeared to have everything. He was the captain of the basketball team. He had Gabriella Montez permanently attached to his arm. He was the most popular guy in Easy High and everyone knew it. He was like a goddamn celebrity and so what? So what?
Ryan Evans could tell you exactly what. Troy Bolton did have everything and yet he still had to keep taking more, and to make matters worse he was so nice about it. So fucking nice! Ryan Evans had always stood in the shadow of his ice queen sister, Sharpay except when it came to acting. It was the one thing his twin couldn't take away from him because of her lack of a certain male anatomy. For years Ryan thought that he had something that he could finally call his own. He was Goliath of the damn drama department and he ruled it well but then of course along came David and it was all snatched away from him. Troy Bolton took it all away in a matter of one audition. God, how he hated him.
He was back in the shadows once again. The lime-light only a sneering face that mocked him. He was seen by everyone as either, 'Sharpay Evan's brother' or 'that guy that got beat out by Troy Bolton'. He felt like he was drowning and no one seemed to notice or even care to notice. He had to do something, all he wanted was to be seen and heard. It was all he wanted. That is why he had decided to 'come out', not because he actually wanted people to know that he was gay but because he just wanted people to notice. Of course as soon as he started to tell people that he was in fact a homosexual he had received a resounding "Well, duh" it wasn't hard for everyone to see. "Ryan Evans…gay?...Well it's about time he decided to come out" Came the voices of his peers.
Of course it is never really easy for someone to 'come out' in high school and certain people were definitely not going to make it easy for Ryan Evans.
Troy Bolton happened upon the scene while on his way to forth period. There was already a crowd drawn around the lockers and Troy's curiosity got the better of him. As he peered over the shoulders of the people in front of him it didn't take him long to see what everyone was gawking at. Written across one of the lockers in black permanent marker was the short and yet blaringly clear word, FAG. Troy immediately recognized the locker as belonging to Ryan and he wasn't surprised when he heard the intense whispering from the crowd as Ryan and Sharpay Evans approached the locker. Not to long afterwards they were followed by the principal.
Sharpay was now standing in the center of the crowd demanding to know "Who the fuck had done this." The principal was asking the same thing only with not so many choice words. Ryan, however, was just standing there staring at his defaced locker with a blank expression set upon his features. Anyone one who was looking at him would have said that he wasn't affected at all by the situation but as Troy stared deeper into the eyes of Ryan Evans he saw utter humiliation hidden in their ice blue depths.
Troy Bolton didn't laugh with his friends like he should have nor did he offer any concern to Ryan. With one hesitant look over at his snickering basketball buddies. His friends. The culprits. And another look over at the black expression of Ryan Evans, Troy Bolton, just walked away.
