A/N: Okay, so I know what you're thinking, 'Why is she starting a new story when she hasn't finished her other stories?' well my answer is that this story (idea) kept bugging me and I couldn't stop myself from writing some more ideas down and adding to it. So here we go, I shall not carry on until I reach chapter 12 on weaker than you think, so get to reviewing he he.

Taylor glanced at the clock and mentally sighed as she listened to a female client egging on about how she is addicted to work and has no time for friends or a love life. She kept her eye on the clock and gave a quick, silent prayer as the alarm rang. Placing her files on the desk, she crossed her legs and clasped her hands together. The woman, who was dressed in a navy pinstripe suit, seemed a bit startled by the noise. "Wow! My time is up already! It seemed as if it were only 30 minutes!" Taylor smiled, not wanting to be rude to a client, especially if they paid big. "Well, I shall see you next Wednesday, Taylor." With that, she took her bag and hurried off, her heels clicking down the hallway, passed Taylor's secretary and down the stairs to the parking lot. When Taylor knew that Miss Carter had left, her smile dropped and she sighed heavily.

"Could she be more of a pain in the…?"

"Derriere?" asked a voice from the doorway. Taylor smiled when she heard the voice and walked up to it. She hugged the person and rocked side to side on her heels.

"Something likes that." They both giggled and Taylor pulled back.

"Shar, my lunch break is in half an hour, I might still have another appointment. She closed her door and went to sit down on her chair, with Sharpay sitting on the clients' chair.

"Come on Tay! Now you're acting like Miss Uptight. No time for friends, only time for work." Taylor rolled her eyes and Sharpay's eyes went wide with excitement. "You are just like her! No matter what you say! You hardly have any time for me and Kelsi and your love life is dead." Taylor's mouth dropped open at her words.

"What are you talking about? You, I and Kelsi always go out on Saturdays for brunch and I always have my lunch breaks with you." Sharpay smirked and folded her arms.

"And your love life…?" Taylor rolled her eyes at her best friends' behaviour.

"It is not dead. It is just on a break." She replied defensively. Sharpay nodded her head, not believing a word that was coming out of Taylor's single mouth. Sharpay laughed, shaking her head at the same time, and walked up to Taylor, placing a hand on Taylor's shoulder.

"Taylor, a break is 15 minutes. Not 1 ¼ years!" Taylor rolled her eyes and giggled. "Now come on! I was thinking that after lunch we could go back to my house and get ready for our night on the town." Taylor looked at her, obviously shocked. Was she considering that she skips a day of work? "As I said before, your love life is dead! I just want to resuscitate it. Now let's get moving, move that big single butt of yours!" she said, never taking her hand off Taylor's shoulder, until Taylor actually shrugged it off.

"Girl, get your hand off me!" Sharpay laughed along with her and grabbed her and Taylor's bags. Taylor sighed and reluctantly took her bag and slung it onto her shoulder. "I'll see if I have any appointments." Taylor mumbled, stalking over to where Jenny, her secretary, was sitting, filing her nails. As soon as Jenny saw Taylor walking over to her, she discarded her filer and pretended that she was typing up something. Taylor caught this and grinned. "You know, I think it would help if the computer was turned on." Jenny, embarrassed, allowed Taylor to reach over and turn it on for her. "There! Now you can type up all the documents like a good secretary!"

"Sorry Taylor. It's just… you know I get distracted. I'll start typing all of these up right now." Taylor pretended to think before she answered.

"Or you could do it tomorrow." Jenny's face lit up. "On one condition."

"Yes! Anything! Anything to stop me from typing up this load!" Taylor's grin got wider as she saw how desperate her secretary was.

"Im going out for an early lunch. So I'm going to need you to find someone to cover for me. I don't care who it is. So long as they are good at giving advice." Jenny looked puzzled.

"But Taylor, you're only going to be gone for only an hour."

"Yeah well, thanks to Sharpay I'm taking the whole day off." Jenny didn't see the need to find someone else; after all Taylor didn't have anymore appointments for the day. So Jenny decided to remind Taylor of that fact.

"But Tay, you don't have…"

"I'll be back tomorrow, it's not like they're gonna fill in my spot forever. It's only for today." Jenny still had the same look on her face. "Don't worry; I will also be able to finish my own paper work. So tell whoever you find that they don't have to do it." Jenny, deciding to give up, just smiled and got up to hug Taylor.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Tay." Taylor returned the hug and pulled back. "Don't pull too many men at the club tonight." Jenny joked, but Taylor just dropped her mouth.

"Whatever." She said, still smiling. She walked towards her office door to get Sharpay and then they were on their way to Oasis Café (A/N: Okay I rhymed, and I do not own this café.) to have brunch as always. Taylor and Sharpay found a window booth and sat down at it. After placing their orders, they both began to talk.

"So how are you and Ezekiel?" Sharpay scrunched up her nose and put her drink down after taking a sip from her pink straw.

"You know how much I hate that name."

"But it's his forename, you have no choice. Unless I have gotten it wrong for the whole 24 years that I have known him." Sharpay sighed and rolled her eyes.

"You know what I mean. Ezekiel is so… not him."

"And Zeke is?" Sharpay nodded, happy that Taylor finally understood her point. Taylor just sighed and took a sip from her ice cold Diet Pepsi. (A/N: Don't own, first thing that sprung into my mind although I'm more of a 7Up person.) "What difference does it make? At the end of the day, he's still the one you're lying in bed with." Sharpay smiled instantly at the thought and began to stir her drink with her straw, obviously in a daze at the dirty thoughts she was having. Taylor immediately regretted her words as Sharpay had now turned a bright red. She laughed at her friend and then uttered a small thank you when their food arrived. Taylor cleared her throat and watched as Sharpay sat back upright and grinned wider. "Good thoughts?"

"Good isn't what I would use but close enough." She answered, taking a bite from her deli. Taylor shook her head and entered a forkful of ceaser salad into her mouth. Once the two ladies were done, they paid for their brunch and headed out to Sharpay's car. Sharpay got into her pink Mustang and Taylor got into the passenger seat. They strapped themselves in and headed to the house that Sharpay shared with Ezekiel. Ooh! Sorry, Zeke. Taylor got out, took her belongings and made her way to the door, with Sharpay right behind her. As if she was expected, the door opened and a dirty Zeke appeared at the door with flour and cookie dough all over him. Taylor laughed and engulfed him in a hug.

"How is my favourite cousin doing?" Taylor asked, even though she had seen him just yesterday. Zeke, knowing exactly what she was up to, pointed towards their kitchen.

"The cookies are in there." Taylor didn't wait to be told again and ran to the kitchen to treat herself. "BE CAREFUL! THEY'RE STILL…" he didn't get to finish his sentence because a loud scream was let out. "Hot." Sharpay giggled at her boyfriends' appearance; unfortunately for her he saw her staring and giggling. He approached her and wrapped his arms around her waist, closing the door behind her. "What are you laughing about?" Sharpay took her index finger and swiped it across Zekes nose then inserted it into her mouth.

"Mmhmm! I know these cookies are gonna be good." Zeke placed a small kiss on her lips and could taste his cookies. It was then that he agreed with Sharpay over whether his cookies were good.

"Aren't they always?" He muttered before kissing her passionately. Sharpay deepened the kiss and slipped her arms around his neck. Their kiss was ended when there was a loud cough in the room which was obviously Taylor. Sharpay, annoyed that her moment was ended, stamped her foot.

"Tay! You couldn't have given us five more minutes?" Taylor walked towards them, shaking her head and eating a cookie that was now warm.

"Nuh- uh. Who knows what you two could've done in 5 minutes all alone."

"I have a pretty good idea, actually." Sharpay said mostly to herself. Zeke just laughed, planted a chaste kiss on Sharpay's forehead and exited the room. Sharpay was still upset and refused to talk to Taylor; she just marched to her room and closed the door. Taylor groaned and dragged herself to her door. She opened it and found Sharpay fast asleep and snoring away. When Taylor looked away for a moment, Sharpay opened one eye and spoke. "Are you happy now? Instead of being downstairs and making out with my boyfriend, I am here, in my bedroom all alone."

"You know, I actually am happy. Instead of seeing you and my cousin down each other whole, I get to make a movie montage with you, my best friend." At the words 'movie montage' Sharpay shot up, a wide smile taking over her face. Taylor rolled her eyes. "I mean, we are still going to the club right?" Sharpay's mood done a complete 180 and she was now really excited. The pair went through hundreds of dresses and outfits, posing after each and every one, until they had found the right one. Obviously they had breaks in between where they had food and drinks and Sharpay got the usual kiss or two from Zeke.

"You know we haven't done that in, what? A year?" Sharpay stated, zipping up her red satin cocktail dress. Taylor simply nodded and smoothed out her gold bubble one shoulder dress.

"For good reason."

"And what reason is that?" Taylor sighed and grabbed her black sling back peep toe heels.

"I said to myself last year that the 10th time you would ask me to go clubbing with you, we would do a movie montage first. And guess what- its lucky 10th!" Taylor looked at the clock- 6.15. She pulled out her phone from her bag and dialled a number.

"Hello?" came a soft voice which seemed very happy.

"Hey Jen, how's it going down there?"

"Everything is fine. Your temporary replacement has done well."

"Okay that's good to here. What about the appointments did…?"

"Tay, there were no appointments today! You could have just left if you wanted to." Taylor felt really stupid at this point.

"Oh! Well then what did my temporary replacement do if there were no appointments?" Taylor pondered, suddenly getting lost.

"Oh she did this and that." Taylor heard a voice in the background. "Hey Tay, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow at work, okay? Oh and don't forget Mr Montez is coming in tomorrow so make sure you have your…"

"Yeah, I won't forget. Bye Jenny." The phone went dead and Taylor sighed. Running a hand through her curly ebony locks, she returned her phone back into her purse. "You know, I still haven't found a reason as to why I agree to do this. I'm out getting flirted with by random men who only want one thing when I could be at work." Sharpay stopped applying her lip gloss and stared at her.

"Gosh! And Miss Carter is back, ladies and gentlemen." Taylor threw a cushion at Sharpay and sighed.

"Where's Kelsi, anyway? She's usually here on nights like this." Sharpay brushed her hair to the side and ambled to the door.

"She said that she wanted to go surprise Brendan. Apparently he just got back from Honolulu on a business meeting. If you ask me, he probably cheated on the poor girl."

"Shar!"

"What? You know it's true! Brendan is not faithful!" Taylor gave up the fight and got up to leave. "Now come on, they always let the beautiful girls in first." Taylor rolled her eyes but proceeded to follow Sharpay out. They said goodbye to Zeke, although Taylor had to yank Sharpay out of the kiss that her and Zeke were sharing.

"Dude! Why do you always let the beautiful girls in first?!" yelled a young brunette boy who was clearly not happy with the bouncer's decisions.

"Jason. Dense, naïve Jason. Sometimes there are exceptions in this world." Began another boy. He instantly stopped when he saw 2 girls wearing red and gold be allowed to walk in.

"And letting totally hot babes into the club before us is definitely an exception!" finished the other boy with fairer skin and darker hair. Taylor sighed when she entered. What the hell was she doing in here? All that people were doing was grinding against one another and drinking their brains out. Rubbing her forehead, she decided against the idea of staying any longer and so she turned to leave. Sharpay wouldn't even notice because Taylor had done it before. Only when Zeke came to pick her up and tell her of Taylor's whereabouts did she realise.

"Whatever. I shouldn't be doing this anyway." On her way out, she bumped into a masculine figure and she ended up falling back. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Well I wasn't the one not watching where I was going, now was I?" Taylor scowled at the man before allowing him to pull her up. "Leaving so soon?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but yes I am leaving. Unsuccessfully." She uttered the last part to herself. The man just laughed before reaching out to touch her arm.

"Stay for a while. Kick back, have fun. I mean, you don't want your friend to think that you're a party pooper." He leaned in towards her ear. "Do you?" He pulled back and smiled with satisfaction over her facial expression. "I'll see you around." He clicked his tongue at her and gave her arm a soft tap before leaving with his friend. Taylor stood there for about a second or so, registering what had happened and who the hell that person was, before she left to go and get a drink. The guy did have one point; Taylor never wanted to be a party pooper. Even though most of the time she was, she didn't mean to. So what if she was a work-a-holic? At least it paid her bills. Going out clubbing every now and then definitely didn't pay any bills whatsoever. She ordered a Virgin Pina Colada and held the glass in her hand as she searched the room for any sign of Sharpay. She ended up seeing her on the phone in the corner of the room, trying to get a clingy guy away from her. Taylor took a sip from her glass and set it down, but not before thinking about it. She wasn't that thirsty, so she decided to leave it there. If she was thirsty however, there was no way on God's earth that she would leave that drink there and let it be spiked. She hopped off of the stool and squeezed through different people to try and get to the restroom.

"Hey baby. How about you give me a dance?" a random guy grabbed Taylor's hand and pulled her close to himself.

"Eew! Get off of me!" She shrugged him off and continued her route. Again she was dragged away. She was really getting pissed now. She was about to blow up at the person until she realised who it was. She took a clear look at Sharpay's face and held her hand tighter. "Shar, what's wrong?"

"Kelsi just called me. She said that Brendan cheated on her." Taylor shook her head, not understanding why this caused Sharpay to be this way.

"Yeah, I thought we already established that Brendan's a cheater."

"Yeah but… he cheated on her with my brother! Ryan of all people! He's gay and he didn't even tell me – his twin sister! Some brother he is." Taylor enveloped Sharpay in a hug as it all hit Sharpay.

"Come on, you need to get all fixed up." Sharpay just nodded and they went to the restroom. Taylor opened the door and immediately regretted her decision. "Oh god." She covered her eyes and Sharpay stopped sniffling when she saw what Taylor was shielding her eyes from. She regained composure and got back to her usual self.

"Get a room! No one wants to see you 2 at it." Taylor looked down at her and raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"Now you're just being hypocritical." She whispered, referring to the many times that she has had to witness Zeke and Sharpay show their love for each other. When the guy, who was holding the girl up against the wall, looked back and put the girl down, a smile formed on his face.

"So you didn't leave?" The girl who was pinned up only a second ago, tried to leave with her head held high. At least she tried to leave with some dignity. Unfortunately for her, her dress was still raised, so you could see part of her ass and a bit of her underwear. Taylor and Sharpay both giggled at her but stopped when the man let out his hand for them to shake. "I know this isn't a good way to introduce myself and all but I'm…"

"Troy Bolton. Who doesn't know you? When my boyfriend isn't cooking, he's watching you!" Sharpay deadpanned, now completely over what had happened. Troy's smile kind of dropped and it turned into one of worry. Sharpay realised her mistake and cleared it up. "Not in a pervy, stalker way of course! He just watches you play… on the TV… when your games are on." Troy laughed gently and slipped his hands into his pocket while Taylor just looked at her nails. You are in need of some serious painting, my friends. She thought, looking at her bare nails. Sharpay, noticing that she could do her friend a favour, pushed Taylor forward. "Have you met Taylor?" Taylor became more alert at Sharpay's words and protested.

"He doesn't need to meet Taylor." At the moment, Taylor was getting angry at Sharpay. Not only had she made Taylor speak in third person, she was trying to set her up! With a playboy!

"Actually, we already met. When she was trying to make a run for it, she bumped into me and I, uh, convinced her not to leave." Sharpay nudged Taylor eagerly. Taylor sucked her teeth and tapped her hand on her arm. "Well, I'm sorry ladies but I have to go, um, meet with someone." Taylor scoffed at his words and sighed. When he left Sharpay pinched Taylor.

"Ouch! What the hell, Shar?"

"You could've ended your love situation right there!" Taylor laughed hard.

"He is Troy freakin' Bolton. Everything in a man that I DON'T want or need. Now can we go home? I'm tired." Sharpay reluctantly agreed and the two went home. As soon as Sharpay went upstairs and saw a picture of her and Ryan, she burst into tears. Zeke came rushing over and wrapped her up, holding her close to him. Moments like that made Taylor wish she had someone who would hold her in a time of need and talk to her to help her get through it all. She managed to walk out unnoticed and she walked home.

Taylor walked down the hallway, feeling the same way she always did: confident. Confident that she will succeed in her job. Jenny also seemed to be in a bright mood this morning.

"Morning Jenny."

"Morning Taylor. How was your night? I hear you bumped into Mr Bolton?" Taylor looked at her, perplexed. "My friend was the one that got lucky with him. In the restroom?"

"Right." It reached Jenny in 14 hours? Impressive. "Remember…"

"I know, I know. Type up all these documents. I'm starting to regret this deal." Taylor just laughed, hit the table with her hand and made her way to the office.

"Too late. You have no other option." Jenny just smiled and got to work. When Taylor entered, she let out a scream Jenny came running in, hand on her heart,

"What is it, Taylor?!" Taylor pointed at the girl sitting at her desk who was sporting a smile.

"Wh-who is she? A-a- and what is she doing in my office?" Jenny rolled her eyes and walked up to the girl.

"Tay, this was your temporary replacement." She got up from the chair and stood in front of Taylor.

"Hey, I'm Gabriella Montez. I think you know my dad, Mr Montez?" Taylor's mouth dropped open in shock. This girl looked about her age. How old was Mr Montez?! And how could something so… mean, create something so… nice? Taylor genuinely smiled and shook Gabriella's hand.

"Hi, Gabriella. So I'm guessing you're waiting for your dad?" Gabriella shook her head, her dark locks following.

"No, I actually came to see you."

"Me?"

"Yeah. I just wanted to show you a few things before I left." Taylor nodded her head and watched as Gabriella went through Taylor's cabinets that were full of files that had been chucked anywhere.

"I wouldn't open that if I were you. It's full of untidy files." Gabriella slid it open and Taylor's eyes widened. She stepped towards the neatly filed drawer and pointed at Gabriella. "You? You did this?" Gabriella nodded and clasped her hands behind herself. "Thank you. You don't know how many times I've said to Jenny that I'd do it, but thank you!" Gabriella looked over at Jenny, who gave her a thumb up sign, then she diverted her attention back to Taylor when she turned back around from staring at her beautiful office. "Gabriella, how would you like to become my personal assistant?"

"Well, I've never heard of psychiatrists having assistants…"

"And you'll be the first!" Gabriella just nodded her head and hugged Taylor, giving Jenny a thumb up sign. Jenny mouthed an I told you so and walked out of the room to get started. Jenny was now working with her 2 closest friends so she was happy.

There goes the first chapter, which shall not be updated until Chapter 12 of WTYT comes out… which wont be long if you review. It took me a whole day to do this and my pinky is now shaking uncontrollably, I have to get that checked.

R&R, I don't own anything
