I Do Dance

After high school (chad pov)

After high school I finally got to live my dream. I went to my dream college and I got to play basketball. Not much really changed. Taylor and I broke up, she said she didn't feel the spark anymore. Troy and Gabriella got married after freshman year of college, and I was the best man. Watching how happy they were made me long for a love like theirs, but I knew that would never happen. I didn't exactly like girls like everyone thought I did. In high school I dated Taylor to fit in, because I knew no one could never know my secret. In college I finally came to terms with everything that was going on in my life and it turns out I was a pretty stereotypical gay guy. I cared a lot about what I wore, I mean A LOT. I went out to guys only bars and hooked up a couple times but no one really spiked my interest. Those one night stands never really satisfied my need for love. No one could ever top the feelings I had in high school. I almost regret not coming out then and confessing my love for him. But I know he didn't feel the same way. Or I thought he didn't feel the same way.

Ryan Evans.... The popular boy who everyone made fun of in high school. Sure, his sister was a jerk but he was funny and smart and nice and handsome and- sorry. I'm getting off track. Most days I caught myself staring off into space, thinking about his beautiful blue eyes and that one time I got to sing with him. I fantasize about what would've happened if I DID dance. He could've felt what I've felt ever since I first laid eyes on him. Ever since I felt what true love really was.

This is why I decided to go to East High's class of 2008 ten year reunion. I couldn't wait to talk to Troy and Gabriella (and meet their children) as well as see Ryan again. I wanted to know where he ended up after college. It made me sad to think of him marrying another man and laying in his arms every night.

I wonder where he is now...?
