"Hey, Troy!" Gabriella said. Troy turned around and smiled.

"Hey! Great job last night," Troy complimented her. The previous night had been the musical. Troy and Gabriella had the two lead parts.

"You too," Gabriella returned. Meanwhile, as Troy and Gabriella were having there conversation, Taylor and Chad, Troy and Gabriella's best friends, were having a conversation about the two.

"They're both so clueless," Taylor observed.

"Totally," Chad agreed.

"Gabriella's too shy to ask him out, but why won't Troy ask her out?"

"I don't know. I know Troy, but when it comes to Gabriella, it's different."

"I can tell. He gets more relaxed around her. He can just be Troy instead of Troy, the basketball boy."

"I say we meddle," Chad suggested.

"Chad, don't you think we've meddled enough in their relationship?" Taylor asked him, remembering the time the previous month that they had completely messed up everything. She couldn't help but smile though. Chad was a good friend who really cared about his best friend, Troy.

"Yeah, I guess. It's just frustrating that Troy can't tell Gabriella likes him and that Gabriella can't tell that he likes her," Chad said,

"I know. Let's just give it some time. If they don't go out soon, we'll meddle," Taylor proposed.

"Okay," Chad said. The bell rang. "Hey, we're still on for tomorrow, right?" he asked before they had to go to their separate classes.

"Yep. I even wrote it in my planner. Friday, dinner and movie with Chad," Taylor replied. Chad smiled before running to the opposite side of the building. Troy soon followed him. Gabriella and Taylor went in to the math classroom and took seats next to each other. After class, Taylor grabbed Gabriella's arm and the two went to the meeting place that Troy had showed them.

"Hey, Taylor. What's up?" Gabriella asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to have some girl talk before Troy and Chad meet us here," Taylor replied. She and Gabriella walked towards their meeting place. It was a secret spot up the stairs. It was like a sitting room outside and nobody but Troy, Gabriella, Taylor, Chad, and the basketball team knew about it. Nobody but the four went up there though.

"So, how are things going with Chad?" Gabriella asked once they were up at their spot.

"Great. We're going out tomorrow," Taylor replied.

"Troy and I are going to go see a movie," Gabriella told Taylor.

"Really? Chad and I are going to see one too! Which movie? Wait, did he ask you out?" Taylor asked curiously.

"No, we're just friends," Gabriella said blushing. Taylor was the only one who knew that Gabriella liked Troy.

"Yeah, but you like him!" Taylor protested.

"Oh, I hear footsteps! More talk later. You're coming over tonight, right?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah, of course," Taylor replied. Every day after school, Taylor and Gabriella got together. They either went to Taylor's house or Gabriella's house, but they alternated which house they went to. Sometimes Troy and Chad would hang out with them too, but not today. Today was just a girl day, and on girl days, there was a lot of girl talk.

"Hey guys," Gabriella greeted Troy and Chad. The boys both said hey and sat down on the two unoccupied chairs.

"I brought lemonade," Taylor announced.

"And I brought home-made chocolate chip cookies," Gabriella added.

"Hmm, a feast!" Chad joked.

"They look delicious," Troy complimented Gabriella's cooking.

"Dig in. We only have an hour tell our next class!" Gabriella said.

"Oh, yeah, and an hour is not enough time to eat a plate full of cookies," Troy replied.

"Two," Gabriella corrected him.

"What?" Troy asked.

"Two plate fulls," Gabriella said.

"Wow, that's a lot of cookies!" Chad observed.

"Yeah, I figured one was not enough," Gabriella said.

"You were right, Gabs, we'll probably have these plates finished off within a half an hour," Taylor guessed. Gabriella laughed.

The four ate and drank and talked and after fifty minutes, Taylor said, "Troy, Gabriella, you two have chemistry."

"What?" Troy asked.

"Huh?" Gabriella asked Taylor, shocked.

"Chemistry class, ten minutes! It's not that close to here, so I was thinking you two might want to leave now," Taylor clarified.

"Oh, right," Troy replied.

"Good idea," Gabriella said, "Come on, Troy. Let's go to class." Troy and Gabriella left for chemistry class.

"Ah! This is so annoying!" Chad exclaimed. Taylor nodded her agreement.
