Summary:

EJ Caswell is the guy everyone wants to be. He has tons of friends, is the captain of the water polo team, has girls falling over him left and right and plus he gets the lead in every school musical. Who wouldn't like him?

Ricky Bowen didn't like EJ Caswell. For two reasons— one, he basically stole his girlfriend over the summer at theater camp. Two, there's just something up with that guy. So what did Ricky do to win his girl back? He might've auditioned for the winter musical.

What happens when the two boys find something they didn't realize they were looking for?

chapter one

It all started the first day of junior year, when Ricky had a plan to win Nini back. Ricky and Nini were inseparable through sophomore year. You see, over the summer Ricky had called it quits with Nini because Nini told him she loved him. This scared Ricky to no end. His parents never said this word, it's not something that came easily to Ricky.

When he came back, he found out that Nini was seeing someone new that she met at her summer theater camp. Much to his surprise, it was EJ Caswell— the school's top guy. Ricky knew everyone loved EJ, he's a senior and captain of the water polo team, but there was just something off about him. What kind of jock is into theater?

So, when Ricky found out that Nini and EJ were auditioning for the winter musical, he acted out of jealousy and fear that he would lose Nini forever. He, along with EJ and Nini auditioned for the musical. And somehow, he landed the part of Troy Bolton.

EJ immediately felt threatened by Ricky. He knew how heartbroken Nini was after their breakup and now he's trying to get her back? Not to mention, EJ had his heart set on playing Troy in the musical but Ricky snatched the role from him.

So the pair did not get along. At all.

Flash forward to now, Ricky was sitting at the read through and was sat right between Nini and EJ. Miss Jenn, the production's director, instructed everyone in the circle to hold hands.

Ricky was impatient to get to hold Nini's hand, but Nini wanted everything but that. But, of course, she had to. So she placed her hand in his with a scowl on her face. Ricky smirked to himself triumphantly but the smirk was quickly wiped off his face when he realized he had to hold EJ's hand.

He pretended not to realize that EJ was beside him and so did EJ. The two ignored one another until a voice cut through their thoughts. "Hands." Miss Jenn directed the statement towards the pair.

You have got to be kidding me, EJ thought as he glanced towards the curly haired boy beside him.

This is ridiculous. Ricky's eyes met EJ's for a brief moment and he sighed loudly.

Then, EJ grabbed Ricky's hand and he turned his attention towards Miss Jenn and Carlos. Ricky rolled his eyes and could feel EJ's discomfort beside him.

Ricky felt uncomfortable being between his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend. But that was his plan all along, to weasel his way between the two.

It was a strange feeling holding hands with them both when they clearly didn't want him there.

After listening to Miss Jenn sing a tune from the musical, she instructed everyone in the circle to release their hands. EJ and Nini dropped Ricky's hands which left Ricky with a slight frown on his face.

Ricky internally groaned, this was going to be a long ride.
