As the bell rang through the halls, Chad Danforth covered his ears with an annoyed look on his face. Turning to his best friend, Troy Bolton, he rolled his eyes. "I swear, that thing will make me no deaf!" He complained. Troy just laughed. "Your over exagerating." He grinned at his best bud, as they walked down the hall to the Gym. "Am not.." Chad said in a pouting voice. "Annnnyways, what's new?" He asked. Troy gave a shrug of his shoulders. "Not much, had a date with Brie last night. We watched a scary movie, and I had to keep her calm." He laughed. "What's going on with you?" He asked before adding. "And Taylor." In a cough. Chad rolled his eyes. "Nothing!" He said, grabbing the basketball that was in Troy's hand, and running into the Gym.
On the other side of the school, Taylor McKessie was laughing at the story that Gabriella was telling her and Kelsi. "Yeah, he totally screams like a girl! I was like, Troy, it's just a movie!" Brie laughed, along with her two girl friends. "Woah, I would have never expected that from Troy!" Kelsi giggled, adjusting her round glasses. Taylor nodded her head in a agreement. Looking at the wall clock in the classroom, she smiled. "I'm so thankful we have a spare." She said, and the other two girls nodded their heads in agreement. "So, Kelsi, what going on with you and Jason?" Taylor asked. Kelsi's face turned pitch red, and she began to fiddle with her glasses. "Oh, you know, I mean, we're just friends.." She said quickly. Brie smiled softly, and Taylor laughed. "What about you and Chad?" Kelsi asked, looking up as the redness in her face went down.
It was Taylor's turn to blush a deep crimson. "Chad? Danforth? Why would there be anything going on between me and that lug head basketball boy?" She asked, trying to lie, but it didn't work to well. Taylor had never been a good liar, probably because she had never lied. "Oh come on Tay, we all know you two went to the after party together!" Brie chirpped. Taylor shot her a glance, but not a mean one. "Okay, fine. We went on a date last week.." She said quietly, and her two friends squealed. "Tay that's great!" Gabby told her, well Kelsi nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, but it's not official... yet!" She grinned.
"So are we still on for some two on two after school?" Troy asked his friends who surrounded him. It was lunch, and Jason, Zeke, Troy and Chad were all sitting around their regular lunch table. "Yeah we sure are!" Zeke replied with a grin, as he bite into a cupcake that he had brought for lunch. "Dude... a cupcake?" Jason said with a grin, earning a smack on the arm rom Zeke. "Uh, I can't make it today." Chad shrugged, biting into his ham sandwhich. That earned him a glare from the other three guys. "What!?" Chad exclaimed with a mouth full of food. Troy, who had been sitting beside his best friend, wiped his face with the back of his hand. "Ew!" He said, giving Chad a look. "Why not?" He questioned, narrowing his eyes. "Yeah, it was cool yesterday." Jason said, doing his best to copy Troy's imtimidating look. "I've got other plans, sorry guys." Chad said simply, avoiding eye contact, and bitting into his sandwhich once more. "Oh I get it.." Zeke said with a grin. "Taylor." All three guys said in unison, smirking at Chad, who held up his hands in defense. "Hey at least I got a date." He replied with a similar smirk. Troy rolled his eyes. "I could get a date if I wanted." He replied, turning back to his own lunch of a PB&J sandwhich. "Are you sure Gabs would go out with you again after you screamed like a girl when you watched a horror movie?" Jason smirked. "How did you-" "Gabriella told us." Jas replied with a wide smile. Troy rolled his eyes. "I sure could get another date with her." He said. "So I wouldn't be talking Jason." Jason furrowed his brow. "I can get a date!" He replied. "Yeah cause Kelsi loves them clueless." Zeke smirked, getting a laugh from the other two guys. "Hey hey hey! I don't think you've gotten anywhere with Sharpay bud." Jason smirked. "Alright, so I am official the hottest of us all." Chad announced, smirking as he stood. "Catch you later." He grinned, before heading off, leaving the other boys there, to just exchange looks.
Gabriella and Taylor were sitting at there table while all this went on, casting glances the boys way every now and then. But the guys were to into their conversation to notice. "What do you think they're talking about?" Brie asked Taylor, and she took a small bite of chilli fries. "Knowing them? Basketball." Taylor laughed, tucking her hair behind her ear as she bite into her salad. "Hey guys!" Chirped Kelsi, as she joined the two with her lunch tray. "Hey Kels, not sitting with the Drama Club today?" Taylor asked her petite friend. "Nah, Sharpay is to much to handle for me." Kelsi smiled sweetly, as she placed her tray down and sat. "So you guys wanna do something after school?" She asked her the two girls wide-eyed as usual. "I'd love to Kelsi!" Gabriella nodded with a smile, as Kelsi adjusted her round glasses. "Great! You Tay?" She asked, looking across the table. "Um, I can't." Taylor appoligized. "Some other time." She told her. Gabriella nodded her head. "Okay." She said, noticing Taylor starring across the caf. She followed her gaze, just in time to see Chad exiting the cafeteria. "Taylor!" She said in excitment. "What!?" Tay asked, snapping out of it, and shoving some more lettuce into her mouth. Gabriella and Kelsi giggled, still with no clue about the date Taylor and Chad had planned.
