I really want to thank all the reviewers of You Wouldn't See It Coming. I had lots of fun writing it and coming up with ideas, and that's why there's a sequel! And that's what this is.

Disclaimer: After a whole story, I think I know what I own and what I don't. I own Sara, Jodie, Nichole, and any new characters that pop up. Okay? Although, I'd love to own Lucas Grabeel... I don't.

Author's Note: This is Love has different points of view than You Wouldn't See It Coming instead of only being in Sara's point of view, it will also be in Ryan's. And sometimes Troy's, Jodie's, or Nichole's. But mostly Sara and Ryan.

This Is Love

Chapter 1

Sara's POV

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you it's hard to survive.

I rolled over, slamming my hand on the off button of my alarm clock. I stood up and hit the button to turn the radio back on, I listened to Everytime we Touch while I got dressed for school.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so.
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

I grabbed a pair of khaki pants and a baby blue t-shirt out of my closet. I threw them on and began working on my hair.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

For the first time I agree with the lyrics to a song. It was a great feeling, my brush ran through the knots in my hair and I tossed it into a messy bun, covering it up with the light blue hat Ryan had given to me weeks ago.

I posed in front of the mirror and smirked as I put on my eyeliner.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so.
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

All I had left to do was brush my teeth, put socks and shoes on, and grab some breakfast. I decided to collapse on my bed and put my socks and shoes on while the song finished. I grabbed my white sneakers with the blue stripes on the side and began putting them on over my white socks.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.

And now I was officially ready to go, thoughts of Ryan flooding my small mind. After tying my shoe I turned off the radio and walked into the bathroom, brushing my teeth before going downstairs to eat breakfast and then head off to school.

As I exited the bathroom Troy walked up to me, "Nice hat..."

I glared at him, "Combs are your friends." His hair was sticking up all over the place.

"I was getting to that!"

"Doubt it!" I said, smiling as I went downstairs. I slid onto a stool at the counter and began eating a bowl of cereal.

My mom looked at me from the sink, "You look happy..."

I shrugged, "And this is new to you?"

She shrugged, "Seems like you never smile anymore."

I looked at her, "That's about to change." I finished my cereal with one heaping spoonful, putting my bowl in the sink I looked at my mom, "Mr. Evans is picking me up, I'll be back after school."

I grabbed my navy blue backpack from the bottom of the stairs and threw it on my back, sliding out the door and into the black mini-van that sat in our driveway.

Ryan wrapped his arms around me, "Hey Sara!" His lips met mine before I could reply.

I kissed him back and then pulled away, "Hi!" I exclaimed, vaguely wondering why I was so excited about going to school. I figured it was mainly because of Ryan, which seemed completely reasonable.

Sharpay sat in the front seat talking on her cell phone, and after her dad made her hang up, she began texting. I had no idea who she was talking to, so I looked at Ryan with my head tilted to the side.

"Zeke." He said, rolling his eyes.

I nodded, "Explains a lot."

"Most definitely."

Mr. Evans pulled up to the school and we got out. Ryan held the door open for me and after I got out he held onto my hand as we walked into the building. I felt a smile cross my face as we walked towards my locker. "Ryan, even though we've been doing this for like... weeks, it feels weird."

Ryan smiled and opened my locker for me, "It's because now we're officially a couple."

"That explains a lot." I said, grabbing my math book. "That explains a whole lot."

Ryan's POV

The warning bell rang and Sara and I separated, I headed to Mrs. Darbuss' room, the smile never leaving my face. That all ended when I walked into my homeroom.

"Hey Ryan." It was Alex Perkins. She had always had a crush on me for as long as I could remember. I had never responded to her flirting, so she spread rumors that I was gay.

I blinked, I couldn't think of anything to say. Troy came up behind me, "Ryan? Are you just going to stand there all day?"

I stepped to the side, away from the door. Troy looked at me, "You okay?"

I nodded, still looking at Alex, "I thought she moved!"

Troy raised an eyebrow, "Who? I'm not going to have my sister date a crazy person."

Alex's jaw dropped at Troy's statement. She stormed up to us, "You mean you ARE straight!"

"As a board!" Troy replied in response. "Is this who you were talking about?"

"Yup." I replied, looking at my girlfriend's brother, then back at Alex, "Seriously though, didn't you move?"

"No." Alex retorted, "I have lived in the same house forever. And then I went to North High for two months, and came back here."

"And you had to come back?" I asked, anger obvious in every syllable I spoke.

Alex glared at me, "Trust me, it wasn't by choice. Although now that I know you're straight..." Her voice faded out.

Chad came up next to me and Troy, "Back off Perkins. Ryan's happily taken."

If Chad hadn't come, I don't know what I would have done. I didn't want to be ruder than I already had been.

"Oh is he?" Alex asked, as if she didn't believe Troy, Chad, and me. "We're just going to have to change that then aren't we?" She walked off towards the back corner by the window.

"Someone's got himself a fan club." Troy said, cringing, "The thought is just a tad bit creepy."

"Shut up Bolton." I said, walking over to my seat behind Sharpay, "She's liked me since 4th grade... At least!"

Chad's jaw dropped, "Why? Is she mental?"

"Is Sara mental too then?" I asked, "Since the fact that someone else likes me makes them mental..."

Chad shook his head instantly, "No, it's not that, it's that well..."

"Get yourself out of that one Chad." Troy said, looking at his best friend and then sitting in his seat.

I shook my head, I was sort of glad that I was becoming friends with Troy and Chad. Seeing as I really didn't have too many guy friends. I mainly hung out with Sara and Sharpay.

Alex didn't stop staring at me all through homeroom. As the dismissal bell rang, I jumped up, bolting down to Mr. Casey's room before anyone could stop me, I was leaning against the wall outside the door as Sara came out with Jodie and Nichole.

Sara and I kissed as Alex walked down the hallway. "Hey, you wore my hat!" I said, smiling as I brushed my finger against the brim of the hat I had given her.

"It was perfect for the occasion." She said, a smile on her face.

Alex stormed over and shoved Sara out of the way, "Back off of Ryan! He's mine!"

Sara's POV

"Excuse me? Are you a little lost?" I asked this girl. Her hair was the color of crap, and her eyes were too. "What do you mean he's yours?" My temper was slowly rising, "Ryan and I have been unofficially dating for the past 2 weeks. And officially dating as of yesterday after the basketball game! And if I were you, I'd get away from me before I smack you."

"Smack meaning punch." Nichole verified.

"Two hit fight!" Jodie exclaimed, "Sara hitting you and you hitting the ground!"

I looked at my two best friends, "I hate to sound cocky but they're right."

Ryan smiled as he wrapped his arm around my waist, "Alex, leave. I don't like you, I never did. I don't even like you as a friend! So go find someone you actually have a chance with!"

She stormed away but turned to us, "You haven't heard the last of me Ryan Evans!" She continued to storm down the hall towards an empty classroom.

"Tad bit creepy." I said, my head resting on Ryan's shoulder.

"Let's not get into that."

Tell me what you think! Alex is mainly so that there's conflict. I also liked the idea of a psycho-obsessive character.

Reviews are highly appreciated.
