Ryan wasn't super fond of the East High gym. To him, it was just a gym, a place where kids got pummeled by dodge balls or played basket ball. The basket ball players of East High most likely saw this differently, but Ryan saw just as that. They were from two different worlds.
He entered the gym and sat down on the bleachers. Nobody was in there, Ryan of course made sure not to enter while a practice was going on, that would have been suicide. When he was sure no one was there he hopped off the bleacher and headed over to where the free throw line was. He easily found a basketball as there was always at least one not locked up.
His father thought that Ry didn't even know what a basketball was, let alone how to throw one. Of course he knew what a b-ball was, what kind of East High student would he be if he didn't. The school was know for their fabulous basketball program. And as for throwing one...well, he at least was going to try today. He stood at the free throw line and bounced the ball. He had seen other players do it before throwing. Then he held the ball and bent his knees. He aimed and threw....totally missing and hitting the bleachers. Ryan growled and ran over to retrieve the ball. He was wearing white tennis shoes, dark wash jeans and a green polo shirt. He of course was also wearing a white and green kangol hat to match.

Troy entered the gym soon after Ryan, not noticing that someone else was inside. Hearing the door close behind him he started dribbling the ball he had in his hands as he made his way to the nearest hoop - the one Ryan wasnt using.
As it was free period he was hoping the team (or some-of) would come to a free period workout. Sure he hadnt planned it, but seeing as he was here he sent a txt to Chad to see if he wanted a game of one-on-one, or two-on-two if Chad passed on the message to Zeke and Jason.
Not bothering to change from his jeans and t-shirt just yet, he started shooting hoops. He dribbled the ball to the free-throw line at the top of the key, before jumping up and letting the ball fly through the air before bouncing off the headboard into the net. He smiled inwardly as he went to get the ball as it started to roll away.
Once he got the ball, he turned around to go back to the free throw line, only to see the last person he would see in the East High Gym. Ryan Evans. He raised an eyebrow as he watched Ryan try shoot hoops himself, chuckling quietly as he watched. "Oi, Evans!" He called throughout the gym, hearing his voice echo. "Wh--What are you doing?" He said, trying to contain laughter. "Shouldn't you be in the theatre with Darbus or something?" he continued, still wondering why Ryan Evans of all people, was in the school gym.
He and Ryan still werent on good terms, well..they never really were with the whole Sharpay situation, then Chad deciding to deck Ryan at the mall. Troy turned his attention back to Ryan as he spun the basketball on his finger easily, waiting for an answer.

Ryan retrieved the basket ball from where it had decided to go off to and began his way back to the free throw line. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Troy Bolton on the other side of the gym. Great, this is just...great he thought to himself.
It was pretty strange for Ryan to be in the gym. He even got excused from P.E. along with his sister due to their "hectic schedule". They honestly were very busy with dance lessons, voice lessons and everything else theater but, they could have fit P.E. in. Sharpay just saw it as a waste of their time and got daddy to tell the Principle to take it off. So Ryan didn't spend a lot of time in the gym.
He watched as Troy spun the ball on his finger with ease. Ryan started walking again, closer to the center of the gym. "Theater isn't the only thing I know how to do, Bolton." he responded. Wow, he was getting better at this defending himself thing. Now if only he had a black belt, then he'd be good to go!

Chad entered the gym through the back door very loudly like he did most of the time. He let the doors slam shut behind him as he walked energetically into the room. "Dude!" He called to Troy in a booming voice. "Got the text."
He continued toward his friend, not even noticing Ryan standing near the center of the gym. This wasn't strange for Chad. He often got so involved in what he was saying that he didn't even notice the other people around him. He stood near Troy with his back facing Ryan. "I told the guys to come, too, but Zeke is busy baking in the school kitchen and Jason said he was getting some extra help from a teacher," Chad made a face. "Dunno what that's about. Anyway, we can still play some one-on-one, Hoops!"

Troy raised an eyebrow at Ryan before tucking the basketball under his arm. "Yeah, basketball obviously isn't one of them" He said with a slight chuckle, shaking his head as he took a few steps forward the center court himself.
Hearing the door to the gym open, he turned his head to see Chad before hearing the slam of the door soon after he entered. He gave a quick nod to his friend, "Extra help? On what?" he asked with a raised eyebrow before shaking the thought off. He nodded when Chad mentioned one on one, "Yeah, but we'll have to get our court back first.." he said, nodding towards Ryan before turning to face him. "What are you doing here anyway Evans?" he asked.

Ryan felt like his statement to Troy had helped him regain some confidence. Troy responded and Ryan rolled his eyes. Then the doors opened. He turned to see none other than the very person he had been trying to avoid all day. He stood there and stared at Chad as he didn't seem to notice Ryan and went over and talked to Troy. Warning bells went off in his head, 'I should have stayed with Sharpay. I shouldn't have come in here! What was I thinking?' If it hadn't been for a statement his father had off-handedly made the other day he probably wouldn't be in the gym.
Troy turned to face Ryan again, it didn't look like Chad wouldn't see him now. "I'm just throwing the ball around."
((lol, sorry it's kinda short! I can add more if needed, I g2g to bed right now though))

Chad shrugged again and almost laughed as he tried to picture Jason getting extra help in class. "No clue, man."
Chad spun around in place when he saw Troy motioning to something behind him. Or rather, someone. His cheerful expression completely dropped as he saw Ryan Evans standing in the middle of the basketball court. Anger quickly started to bubble inside of Chad like it always seemed to whenever someone mentioned Ryan. His mouth formed a straight line across his face, and his entire body went tense. His fingers curled into hard fists. "Throwing the ball around?" Chad repeated incredulously. His voice was tense, and he was obviously trying to keep from yelling. "This guy never stops! First he starts hanging around our girlfriends, now he's moving in on our basketball courts!" Chad took one step closer to Ryan. His temper has always been a problem for him.

Troy raised an eyebrow when Ryan said he was just throwing the ball around. "You do realise this is a basketball court, not a football field" He told him with a quick roll of his eyes. Ryans presence in the gym was making Troy wonder why the hell he would come here of all places - hasnt Ryan been avoiding both Chad and Troy the last couple of weeks? This confused Troy even more.
He turned to Chad and nodded slighty, looking between both Chad and Ryan hoping a repeat of what happened at the mll wouldnt take place. "Evans, why dont you just tell us why youur really here and get it over with" Troy said impatiently, he just wanted to spend his free period kicking Chads butt at one-on-one, not stand around like a bunch of girls.

When Chad finally spotted Ryan he admittedly was even more nervous. Chad of course wasn't happy to see him. Ryan really didn't want anymore bruises, his face had just finished healing! He also felt himself get angry when he saw Chad. He didn't exactly like that he beat him up over something lame. He ignored what Chad said about the girls and the court and stood his ground.
He raised an eyebrow in response to Troy, "I know what it is. We have satellite, we get like 200 sport's channels." He didn't want to tell them why he was there, it would just give them something else they could use against him. "I just..." He looked between them, unable to come up with a lie he shook his head, "forget it. It's none of your business anyway." Ryan turned and started to walk to the bleachers.
((sorry if its lame, my kitten was diving me nuts!))

Liz Bolton heard yelling and screaming in the gym so she crept inside to see what was going on. She was being sneaky so no one would see her. To her surprise , she found Troy , Chad and Ryan. They were being really mean to Ryan. Liz didn't think it was fair. Troy and Chad really should get over themselves. So what he was hanging out with their girlfriends? Their girlfriends are allowed to have other boy's who are friends , seriously. The last time Liz heard about this , she was talking to Ryan in the halls then Troy came along , she exploded at him and fainted. And that's how she winded up being unfit enough to play basketball. She felt really angry with Chad and Troy. They were being so mean. Liz had never seen them act like this , ok maybe once or twice. She tied her hair in a swift pony tail and put on the hood of her sweatshirt and walked towards the bleachers that Troy and Chad weren't facing. She sat at the very top so she couldn't be recognized.Liz was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt.

Chad let out a laugh, but it didn't sound normal for him. In place of his usual carefree laughter, an almost forced laugh filled the gym. He narrowed his eyes at Ryan. "200 channels? Well, aren't you the expert!" Sarcasm dripped from his words.
Chad raised an eyebrow as he watched Ryan search for an excuse. When he dismissed the topic, Chad smirked. "Then just leave, okay? You're pissing me off." Chad turned away and started walking back toward Troy. It took every ounce of this self-control to keep from hurting Ryan again. Even Chad knew that getting into a fight at school would lead to worse consequences than the first time.

When Ryan mentioned he ahd over 200 sports channels Troy couldnt help but roll his eyes. He looked at Chad when he spoke and nodded, agreeing with him.
"It is our business if your on our court" Troy told Ryan with a slight shake of his head as he sent a glare in Ryans direction before watching him walk to the bleachers. He shook his head as he turned to face Chad, dribbling the ball as he walked toward the free throw line.
((Sorry its so sucky and short! -_-))

"You don't own the court!" Ryan replied as he walked away. "And you don't own Taylor or Gabriela ether..." he muttered. It annoyed him that Chad had made a big deal out of him hanging out with them. Then his dad had to mention the whole sports thing, why don't you play basket ball like Troy, blah blah blah! Dancing took a lot of muscle and skill! Just because he's a boy who got beat up by basket ball players doesn't mean he needed to take up another hobby. He could play sports too! Ryan was pretty good at tennis and baseball. But every father loves a son that can master football or basketball. It's like their dream.
He stopped walking and turned around. Ryan looked at Chad and Troy. What was Ryan thinking...he didn't want to play basketball, the theater was way better than this. He turned back around and chucked the basketball over his shoulder, having no clue where it would land. (It hits Troy...lol)
((I thought about him actually throwing it at Troy but, Ryan would only do that if he was really mad and at this point he isn't super angry yet))

Liz watched as Ryan , Troy and Chad all fought. She couldn't believe this. It upset her a lot. Why couldn't everyone get along? Everyone should be friends and get over their differences. Then she saw Ryan throw the ball over his shoulder and it winded up hitting Troy. Liz gasped , making herself now known in the gym. She then covered her mouth , stupid big mouth I have.

Troy turned around to glare at Ryan once again after hearing what he said, "Just go back to the theatre, theatre boy. We wanna shoot some hoops" he said shaking his head slightly before turning back to Chad.
He was about to say something to Chad when he felt a basketball hit his head. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Chad quickly before turning around. Seeing Ryan facing the bleachers, and looking like nothing had happened Troy figured it was either on accident, or his acting skills are better than what Troy thought. "Okay, thats it.." he said, "I may of stood on the sideline at the mall, but this is my court, and what I say goes" he said loudly, hearing his voice echo in the gym as he started walking towards Ryan.
He stopped briefly when he heard a gasp, rasing his brow once again as he looked around the empty gym.
((Now thats getting your head in the game Troy xD It was so hard not to quote 17 again during that post..ahaha))
