You're my favorite person. And shut up, no.

Don't you dare or we're not friends anymore.

WTF? Dude…do you think in their family they play Monopoly with actual places? I knew they were rich but what the hell.

Still doing theater. And I don't know. I missed so much of this last season that I'm not even sure. Coach was really mad when he found out.

You're my favorite person, too. What's the ring look like?

Well, if you're gonna tell her like you told me she is bound to contact me anyway, so ha!

That's exactly my thought! I like to imagine they have like a giant Monopoly board somewhere. It's not even real, I so can't wrap my head around it. I'm still hung up on wanting to pay when we go out.

Coach gets really mad when he finds out about a lot of stuff. I care more about what you feel. Do you still wanna play for the team or are you just not into it anymore?

Better be. And here let me attach a pic.

...wait do you two talk about me behind MY back?

I can't believe you're dating someone who thinks it's normal to just buy buildings and boats and who knows what else. Do you think Ryan wins in the theoretical games of real-life Monopoly? I can't even imagine what I'd do if Gabriella were rich like the twins.

I don't know. I don't know, can we not talk about it right now?

[Attached: 1 picture]

Ohh, it's sweet. Gabriella's gonna like it. Also, damn, it looks expensive.

Nah, not really, we just talk about other stuff sometimes.

I can't believe it, either. Don't think I've really wrapped my head around it. It's easy to forget, y'know, because Ryan's a lot more normal than Sharpay most of the time, but sometimes it hits me. Like apparently we're not spending spring break on the yacht because it's kinda old, since they bought it four years ago. Maybe a sailboat.

Alright. But you're gonna talk about it with me, alright? I gave up my team. I mean, granted, that was mostly self-defense, but still.

I'm not telling you how much it was so that you don't tell her. And yeah? I thought about getting her the one with the heart but this one's a snowflake and we met on New Year's Eve and it was snowing when we exchanged numbers so...

Like what?

Sometimes I think the twins are great and that they, Ryan in particular, are pretty down to earth sometimes. And then you tell me stuff like that and my entire illusion's gone. Are you serious? Is that what he actually said? Tell him I don't care I want to be on a pool on the ocean.

Lalalala I can't hear you.

Oh, come on, I'd not tell her that. But, no, that's perfectly cheesy, so it's perfectly you. I'd make fun of you for it more, but I probably don't have that much room to talk.

Like being gay, me being gay, not her, and Taylor a bit and Ryan a bit and I dunno, I think most the time she just explains stuff to me.

I think it's kinda amazing that Ryan even gets some stuff, like that me spending over a hundred on his Christmas present is a lot and stuff. But, yeah, he's so Richie Rich sometimes. I'm gonna tell him!

Whenever you're ready, bro.

You never know. I'm just saying. Also ha ha ha. Man, I've seen some of your emails with Ryan, remember? You're becoming just as cheesy as I am.

Gabi's really great at that kind of stuff! She's smart but she's empathetic, you know? She really gets it no matter what it is. She's a good person to talk to about...anything.

Ryan's not dumb. He just lives in a bubble a lot of the time. What'd you get him anyway? GOOD I am excited to fulfill my yacht pool dream.

It's cool. Thanks. But it's probably not even a problem.

I'm still cooler than you. And way dirtier, probably.

Yeah, your girlfriend's pretty great. ;) You may keep her.

Look at you having yacht pool dreams. Maybe Gabriella oughta be rich after all. And I got him a baseball hat.

How can it not be a problem? That doesn't even make sense.

Ha ha ha, you wish. Um. About the first part, not the second. Wait dud did you actually sleep with Ryan in LA? BE HONEST.

I'm glad you two finally approve of each other. She loves you too. Not as much as me though.

I have a lot of yacht pool dreams. And sunbathing dreams. And hanging out with my friends on a yacht in a pool sunbathing dreams. I wouldn't like her the same if she was rich, otherwise I'd be with Sharpay and Zeke would murder me. Or at least throw scones at me. ...did you really get him a $100 baseball hat?

It makes complete sense.

Nah, we just had sex over the webcam the next day. And we have phone sex and stuff. See? Honest.

Well, rich Gabriella would still be a different person than Sharpay. Hey, maybe Gabriella will get rich some day, you never know. But I told Ryan he has to make your dreams come true. And, yeah, like 160 or something. It looks pretty cool. I mean. For Ryan.

It totally doesn't, what the hell?

That doesn't surprise me since you're usually in two different states. That's...good? I think? I have no idea how to respond to that.

If Gabriella decides to continue pre-law and becomes a lawyer she'll be making a lot more than me. We'll have a good, comfortable life. I'm so happy that I take priority in this instance, this is why we can't get friend-divorced ever again. ...okay this I gotta see.

What part's confusing?

It's alright, man, you don't have to say anything to that. ;)

Hey, if I keep dating Ryan I'll never have to worry about money. I guess. I don't even know. We've never been friend-divorced, I told you problems solved by love duets don't count.

You deciding to quit basketball is a big deal, you can't just say it's not and then it's magically not.

Attachment: baseball cap

Thank you I enjoy not being awkward about your sex life and not having anything to compare.

I hope you didn't tell him that. Gonna use Evans as a sugar daddy then? Also shut up man, that's how I solve a lot of problems!!

I never said I was actually doing it, I just am thinking about it. The end. Not a problem.

Dude that hat though...that's totally him.

What, you never have phone sex?

I was kidding, hey. I'm totally going to treat him on my social worker salary. And I know! It's cool, it's you.

But still something you might wanna and should talk about.

I know, isn't it? I hope he'll like it. Or pretend he likes it, I guess.

Um. Not...really? Gabi and I don't really...you know.

And he'll be so proud, I'm sure. That's not sarcastic, I mean it. Ryan apparently really likes "normal people" stuff.

I'm just thinking like...what's the point? I'm not going to go on to play professional ball. The guys are great but they're not the Wildcats, y'know? And I was always so busy with the season and I started falling behind in school and Coach was still drilling me via Skype every morning and every night and it's just sort of funny. That's all.

I think you could give him a pair of socks and he'd like them. ...no actually those he'd pretend, but this he'll like. It's cool. He likes hats.

...you're kidding me. I mean, I joked about that, but seriously? Is that part of why you wanted to propose? I mean, why not? I know she's in church and all, is it that?

...now you're making it sound as if he has a normal people fetish.

If you're not feeling it, there's nothing wrong with quitting. And if your father gives you grief about it, just tell him you're getting a sex-change.

He likes hats and baseball's kind of a thing with us, so.

What? Dude NO that's not part of why I wanted to propose, I wanted to propose because I love her! ...and I don't know. We're just taking things slow. I'm not pressuring her into something she doesn't want or isn't ready for and I know she's got a lot going on right now and I want her to be happy. If it means spending the last three years just making out, fine.

He might. Have you asked?

I still love the game. I'll probably stick it out until graduation.

So I've heard. It's cool, dude. You did good.

...did you ever ask if she's ready for more? What if she's thinking the same thing about you? I mean, not that I wanna pressure you into having sex, I'm just wondering.

He doesn't, he just likes me because I'm so pretty.

I'm watching every game they show. You do what feels right to you.

How am I even supposed to ask her that? There's not really a casual way of bringing it up in the conversation. Whatever.

Pretty normal. I rest my case.

"I don't know where to go, what's the right team? I want my own thing so bad I'm gonna scream.
I can't choose, so confused, what's it all mean? I want my own dream so bad I'm gonna scream."

'Hey, Gabriella... Do you ever think about having sex with me?' Ta-da. It's sex, Troy, not the Dark Lord's name, you can talk about it.

Dude, what the fuck, I'm so much hotter than normal!

...is that your dramatic ballad? Does Kelsi write those for you or do you just make them up while you dance?

Then YOU ask her.

Okay actually don't ask her. Please don't ask her.

I'm not confirming or denying that my friend. Ryan might try to melt me with his mind or something.

Oh shut up it's not a dramatic ballad!

...I made that one up during senior year actually.

I think she'd be a bit confused if I asked her if she thinks about having sex with me. It might almost be worth it for her reaction.

I don't think Ryan minds people thinking I'm hot. He probably likes it.

Sounds about right. And you feel the same way now?

dramatic ballad

If you do it, don't tell her I put you up to it!

Okay yeah maybe but that's because the Evans twins aren't exactly above having trophies. I've seen you drool in your sleep when we were kids. Totally not sexy.

IT'S NOT A DRAMATIC BALLAD.

And yeah. I guess I do. Why?

Do you want me to find out if she wants you? Because I'm sure I can somehow. Or Ryan can.

That's just human. I bet Gabriella does that too sometimes.

WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CALL IT?!

Just trying to figure you out so I can help you figure that out. How does theater feel?

Oh man, I wish you'd asked me that sooner...

She does not don't you dare ruin that image for me. We've shared a bed enough times for me to know she doesn't drool. So there. Ryan probably does though.

A SONG? I DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT A DRAMATIC BALLAD THOUGH!

I like it. I like being able to sing and act because it sort of feels like home.
