Rina

"Ricky intrigues me... And I don't get intrigued"

- Gina

Rina is the het ship between Ricky Bowen and Gina Porter from the High School Musical fandom.

Canon
Season one

Most people seem intimidated by Gina, but that is not Ricky's case. A few episodes in, Ricky tries to quit acting, he feels like he doesn't belong on stage, and then he talks about it with Gina. On homecoming, she is seen with EJ, he thinks they are dating, and Ricky tells her she could do better. They get into a fight, and he tries to apologize for the hurtful things he said.

Gina: - Give me a ride and we'll call it even

Ricky sees her house for the first time, and they talk for a little bit. Ricky tells her she is the reason he stayed at the show, he stayed because of her advice at the skate park. He also finds out Gina "doesn't do dates". She kisses him on the cheek, they stare at each other.

Nini and EJ start to notice something is going on between these two. Big Red also makes comments about it to Ricky. EJ calls Gina out during one of the rehearsals;

EJ: - So do you care about Ricky?

Gina: - What if I do?

Fanon
The fandom is divided by people who have supported Rina from the very beggining and people who just started liking them.

On the other hand, there is also viewers that didn't see it coming at all and were hoping for Ricky and Nini to get back together.

It is often discussed the fact that these two had a slow-burn relationship of three seasons. We are hoping to see more of them on Season 4.
