The next day, towards the end of her shift, Isabella was at the pool after it closed, cleaning it out, when all of a sudden Ryan walked up to her with a smile on his face.
"Looking good." Ryan said as he came to a stop behind Isabella.
"Wow, Wildcat!" Isabella exclaimed in shock as she put the skimmer she was onto the ground and looked at Ryan's outfit in shock.
"Too much?" Ryan asked Isabella shyly.
"Only in daylight." Isabella joked.
"Yeah." Ryan chuckled as he glanced down at his outfit.
"East High colors, very impressive." Isabella told Ryan with a soft smile, knowing that this must be new for him.
"Hey. Be true to your school, right?" Ryan asked with a shrug.
"Absolutely." Isabella chuckled. "Everyone's excited about doing the show."
"Hey, I know everyone thinks that I'm Sharpay's poodle, but I really think that I could..." Ryan started to say seriously.
"Hey. If they were thinking that, they're not thinking that today." Isabella quickly interrupted Ryan while shaking her head a little. "How do you do that swing-step you did last night?"
"That's easy." Ryan smiled as he grabbed Isabella's hands and they started to dance. Ryan was in the process of twirling her when all of a sudden Troy walked up to them.
"Hey." Troy said in confusion as he walked up to the two.
"Hey." Isabella said as she lost her smile, still upset with him for the night before.
"Hey." Ryan repeated with a large smile, not realizing the tension between the couple.
"So, I called last night. I got hung up at the gym." Troy told Isabella, who just looked at Troy silently.
"Hey, my dad says you're doing great with those college guys." Ryan spoke up, when he noticed that Isabella wasn't going to say anything.
"Oh. Yeah. They're awesome." Troy smiled as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Playing with them is like being in another world."
"Well, you missed out on a fun night." Isabella said pointedly, as she reminded Troy of his broken promise. "It was a great game."
"But the dessert afterwards had to be the best part." Ryan gushed as he wrapped an arm around Isabella, causing Troy to look at them with jealousy as the other two laughed together. "Her mom makes the best brownies in the entire world."
"Yeah, I know. I've had them." Troy spoke up, causing the other two to stop laughing. Ryan slowly dropped his arm from around Isabella.
"Well, I'll see you guys later." Ryan told Isabella with a soft smile before running away, leaving the couple standing there silently. They shared a silent look before Troy nodded his head and walked away.
