Chapter 1

"Hey Chad. Hey Taylor," began Kelsi as she joined the couple at one of the cafeteria lunch tables. "I was looking for Troy and Gabriella, but maybe I can ask you guys for some advice instead?"

Chad and Taylor, who had been cuddled close together on the lunch table bench and giggling over something in a magazine they'd been reading, glanced up as Kelsi sat down. Yet Taylor's good mood was immediately pacified when she noticed the distressed expression on her musician friend's face. Taylor exchanged a worried look with Chad.

"What's wrong, Kels?" asked Chad.

"Yeah, what type of advice do you want?" questioned Taylor. "Guess it's a good thing free period just started, since from the look on your face this sounds like this could be a complicated one."

"Well Taylor, you must know a lot about guys. I mean, you got Chad to fall for you," said Kelsi.

"Well, I guess," answered Taylor, looking a little embarrassed as her boyfriend let out a hearty laugh and squeezed her shoulder.

"And Chad, well, you obviously are a guy. Plus, you seem to know a lot about… dating," continued Kelsi hesitantly, now seeming embarrassed herself by the topic she'd brought up.

"As Taylor knows, I don't like to study. But the one book I do read is 'The Book of Love,'" sang Chad playfully as he threw his arm around Taylor, pressed his forehead to hers and kissed his girlfriend's nose.

"Oh please," snorted Taylor, rolling her eyes at his corniness but unable to hold back her pleased blush. "But Kelsi, where are you going with all these questions?"

"Does this have anything to do with the big dance at the end of the month?" added Chad.

"A little bit," admitted Kelsi. "There's this guy I sort of, no, I really like and…"

"OOOO!!!" interrupted Taylor, clapping her hands together excitedly. "Our little Kelsi finally has found a guy!"

"Spill Kels, who is he?" asked Chad, leaning forward eagerly to hear the news. "Would I know the dude?"

"Oh, you definitely know him," replied Kesli sheepishly. "It's…"

"Hey guys," a male voice cut in.

"Quiet, Jason!" demanded Taylor. "Kelsi was about to tell us who she has a crush…"

"Crush!" interrupted Kelsi, sounded alarmed. "Orange Crush! You know, I really can't believe our cafeteria considers that water and powder mixture decent-tasting juice."

"Huh?!?" exclaimed Chad and Taylor in unison, trading confused glances.

"Oh I know!" agreed Jason, not missing a beat… or registering the look of uncomfortable panic on the piano player's face. "That Orange Crush stuff tastes totally nasty."

"Ughhh," groaned Chad and Taylor together again at the basketball player being as thick-headed as ever.

"Anyway, just wanted to say hi," grinned Jason. "I'd better get going. The period just started, and I'm late for class."

"Jason, it's free period," said Chad slowly, staring at his friend strangely. "You don't have class."

"Oh right!" perked up Jason. "That's great news!"

Chad and Taylor shook their heads simultaneously at Jason's obliviousness and looked toward Kelsi, expecting to see her reacting with equal annoyance. Yet to the couple's surprised, they found a pink-cheeked Kelsi giggling genuinely and smiling widely at Jason. The basketball player in turn was shooting a big grin back at the petite girl.

"I heard Troy and Gabriella were playing two-on-two basketball with Zeke and Sharpay down in the gym," Chad offered finally.

"Cool, I guess I'll head down there," responded Jason. "You guys wanna come?"

"Maybe later," answered Chad, looking at the still-blushing Kelsi. "We've got some things to finish up here first."

"OK," said Jason. "Hey, are you guys going to Ryan's birthday party this weekend?"

"Yeah, I think so," replied Taylor as Chad nodded in confirmation.

"What about you, Kels?" Jason leaned over to ask the piano player.

"I think so," said Kelsi, blushing furiously.

"You should. It will be fun," encouraged Jason. "OK, I'm off to the gym. See you guys, later!"

Jason gave his friends a wave as he headed out of the dining hall. Giving Jason a bemused look, Chad and Taylor held up their hands in unison as goodbye. The couple however soon turned their bemused expression onto Kelsi, whose head was following Jason's weaving path around the other lunch tables out of the cafeteria.

"I'm not even a genius like my girlfriend here," began Chad, causing Taylor to break out into a pleased smile at the compliment. "But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who you like."

"You really have it bad for Jason, don't you?" grinned Taylor knowingly.

"Is it that obvious?" groaned Kelsi, burying her head in her hands.

"Kels, the boy has his head so high in the clouds he hadn't even figured out it was free period," commented Taylor. "So, I doubt he's figured out you like him."

"Honestly, I think the only time he actually aware of what's going on around him is when there is a basketball nearby," added Chad sarcastically. "But hey, if you really like him…"

"I do!" cut in Kelsi happily. "Jason's a nice guy, funny and so sweet. And the things he does that you guys call 'having his head in the clouds,' well, I think it's kind of cute."

"Well, OK then," shrugged Chad smiling.

"I'm so glad, Kels, you've found someone you like so much," said Taylor.

"I just wish I could get Jason to ask me out. Or just ask me to the dance," sighed Kelsi, looking troubled again.

"I'm sure Jason would love to go out with you if he knew you were interested. We just got to find a way for you to really grab his attention," replied Chad, before suddenly snapping his fingers. "I got it! A makeover!"

"A makeover?" repeated Jelsi, looking up through her spectacles at her trademark cap before glancing over the stripped polo shirt and cut-off khakis she was wearing.

"Yeah, we'll go shopping and really glam you up," explained Chad excitedly. "Then, even Jason will have to come down from that other planet he's always on and notice you!"

"Chad, a girl should not change herself for a guy," sang Taylor tiredly.

"Oh come on," pressed Chad, cozying up to his girlfriend. "Consider it… a scientific experiment?"

"A scientific experiment?" repeated Taylor dubiously with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah! Does a new look help the girl next door land the guy of her dreams? Besides, we're not going to change Kelsi. Just switch up her style a little bit. It's bound to work!" brightened Chad.

"Well Chad, you are really good friends with Jason. So if you think this will really help him notice me and get him to ask me out… then I'm all for it," consented Kelsi.

"Awesome!" exclaimed Chad, pumping his fist in the air. "We'll go shopping after school. I'll help you pick everything out. Like you said, Kels, I know what guys like. I am a guy after all."

"OK. But only, Taylor, if you promise to come along, too!" Kelsi added quickly.

"No problem," she agreed.

"Then, the three of us will head for Eastside Shopping Plaza this afternoon," confirmed Chad, motioning with his finger for Taylor and Kelsi to lean forward. "Now, let's get ready our mall makeover game plan. Jason, you're not gonna know what hit you buddy!"

Chad grinned encouragingly at Kelsi, who smiled back nervously.
