Joy to the World

This fic came about in a rather simple manner. I was sitting in jap
class and making a list of all the pairings in HSM, and then making
cute little combos of their names. You know, Troyella, Tropay,
Zekpay (that’s so cute), Choy (ummm… nah.) Chyan (my OTP),
Tryan (doable), Chiella (ooooh. Gotta write that.)… etc. Oh, and
Joy. Joy! An nova bomb of stars and hearts and pretty lights went
off in my brain. BINGO! JOY! So there I was, in the middle of
Beginners Japanese 101, with a big goofy smile on my face. How
can you not LOVE that combo? My teacher didn’t agree, but then
again Mr. S doesn’t have any humour. So here it is.

TITLE: Joy to the World

AUTHOR: RiverGenesis

PAIRING: Joy. That’s Jason/Troy. I love it already. Let’s see if I
can pull it off.

Part 1.

Most popular guy in school, captain of the basketball team, a
gorgeous, brilliant girlfriend and already having gotten 75% of the
votes for homecoming King, things were all sunshine and roses in the
life of Troy Bolton. Or at least that was what everybody thought.
Gabriella Montez, said gorgeous, brilliant girlfriend, didn’t agree one
bit.

Especially not when she scaled the ladder to the attic, doing her
best to ignore the fact that it was shaky and she was scared witless of falling down. She could already hear the radio. …because
everybody hurts, sometimes…


Once she got up, the first thing she noticed was a pair of dirty sneakers, so she went around the small table and noticed that he,
as she had thought, was lying flat on his back, staring at the ceiling and listening to REM. She looked down at her pants. They were
brand new, and beige, and if she got them dirty it’d be really obvious… plus it’d be hell to get them clean again. But sometimes such things can’t be helped.

She laid down next to him.

"Hey.” He didn’t reply. "you gonna lie here all day, or actually get
off your butt and come with me to History class? You still got a
few minutes before the first bell rings.” She did her best to sound
annoyed, but the worry couldn’t be hidden. He slowly turned his
face to look at her. His eyes were swimming in tears.

"Gods, Gab, I’m so fucked up.” Her eyes softened and she took his
hand in hers.

"I know.” There wasn’t much else to say. "I know.”

"…and I expect you all to have taken rigorous notes of this since
you’ll be quizzed on it on Monday. Class dismissed.” Gabby sighed,
got up and walked over to Troy’s desk. Then she leant over and
hollered straight into his face;

"GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME, BOLTON!” The reaction she
got was priceless. Troy jumped in his seat, his head whipped up
so fast he almost gave himself whiplash. Gabby gave him a cheeky
grin. "End of class, lover boy. Scoot.” Laughing, she dragged him
out of the classroom.

They ran into Chad and Ryan, who was officially Chad’s boyfriend since the beginning of term (sorta hard to be a secret couple when you’re caught making out in the gym locker rooms after school),
just outside the classroom. Chad gave Gabby a sunny smile and hugged her.

"Isn’t he wonderful?” he asked with his face in her hair. Gabby looked questioningly at Ryan.

"What did you do?"

"I just offered him a ride home. Shar gave me the keys.”

"What for? I mean she loves that car.” Troy frowned. Even he had noticed the Ice Queen’s obsession with her new car.

"I know, but she babbled something about helmets and rhinestones
and adorably cute. And I think there was something about cookies,
but I didn’t pay too close attention.” Ryan shrugged.

"Ahh, that explains things.” Troy grinned and the others looked at
him blankly. "Zeke bought an extra helmet for his bike last
weekend. It’s bright pink.”

Chad snickered. "With rhinestones?”

"There weren’t any when he bought it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he added some.”

Just then Kelsi came hurrying towards them.

"Ryan! Ryan! I’ve written a new song! It fits you and Chad
perfectly, and I’ve done it to match your voices!” Ryan lit up.

"Oooh, tell me all about it!” She handed him a sheet of paper, he
scanned it, and then he turned a beaming smile on his hubby, who
as usual melted immediately. "It’s perfect! Look!”

Gabby strolled over to join them. Troy was left standing outside
the classroom, trying not to scream. But he couldn’t hide the
hatred in his eyes.

He hated Kelsi more than he had every hated anything. She had
the one thing he wanted more than anything, more than winning
state, more than getting a scholarship to college.

Jason.
