Summary
Ryan Evans decides one day that everyone in this school has lost their minds. It’s been going on for a few weeks now. At first it was just Gabriella and Taylor, sitting behind him in homeroom, tapping on his shoulder to ask him random questions. Then it started getting insane.
Or, the one where Ryan is oblivious and Chad is a bumbling idiot and the Wildcats decide to take matters into their own hands

Summary
As Chad is heading to his car—used, very used, but his, which made waiting tables all summer totally worth it, although he’s never going to admit that to Troy—he sees Ryan walking in the opposite direction, out of the mascot costume by now. His clothes look dry, and he’s definitely towelled off his hair; it’s sticking up worse than it did the one time in September when someone made the mistake of yanking Ryan’s hat off his head during homeroom. Chad looks around, but he doesn’t see any other cars in the parking lot besides the one he knows to be Jason’s, so he figures Ryan must be waiting for someone to come pick him up.
“Hey, Evans!” he calls. “Need a ride to the afterparty?”

Summary
Ryan is thanking every deity he can think of for his competitive streak, because otherwise, he would've lost his fine motor skills the second Chad checked him out, muscle memory be damned.

"I Don't Dance" was my gay awakening 7 years too soon to realize it. Canon was a coward and didn't make them official so here's some decade-late wish fulfillment.
