Chad and Ryan don't interact at all in the first movie, but interact in the second movie. There's tension between them at the start of the number "I don't Dance", but are getting along by the end.

After the game Chad and Ryan are eating, and wearing each other's outfits, when Chad asks Ryan about how good he got at baseball. Ryan tells him that he played in the little league champions, Chad rolling his eyes. Ryan reveals that his team were the champions, and Chad looks at him in shock, before playfully shoving him.
