Hey guys! just realised that i haven't written anything in like 4 months! well school's out for me, but this idea just came up and i decided to use it. enjoy!

Monday 6:30 am

Ring Ring Ring! "I hate you." Taylor McKessie groaned as she pounded the snooze button for the third time.

"Taylor baby get up." called from downstairs, already prepared for work. "Come on sweety it's your last week; make it count!"

"Shut up Mom," Taylor moaned as she pulled the covers over her very annoyed and tiresome head. Yes, it was the last week, but in all seriousness, she was dying for it to be over. Senior year, in its entirety proved to really challenge her, what with the eight or nine college applications. And unlike junior year, her schedule was packed with straight AP's just to make sure she got that college scholarship to Georgetown. And how she managed to deal with the work plus her part time job working as a waitress all amazed her. But then again, she was Taylor Mckessie; enough said. Already knowing her mother would come upstairs if she didn't wake, Taylor got up and got dressed.

"One more stupid, annoying, pointless week then it's over." Checking the mirror, she fixed all necessary issues and decided to wear at least a smile to please her mother.

"Oh, good you're awake." Her mother said, appearing in the bedroom to, like she had predicted, check up on her.

"Yes Mom." Taylor responded. "But do I really have to go to school? I mean what's the point of going when I already know I'm headed to Georgetown? It's just__" Taylor immediately stopped at her mother's glare. She knew that look all too well and quite frankly, not attending classes was never an option. "Ok fine, just please stop giving me that stare." She said as she packed her books and grabbed a sweater, not that she needed it though considering the 80 degrees outside. Her mother smiled and gave her daughter a pat on the back. "That's my girl."

"Oh mom please." Taylor responded as she made her way out the door and started walking.

"I love you, have a good last week baby!"

"Ok," Her daughter murmured back, though she doubted she would. Yes, again there was only one week left at East High, the school that included the classmates for which she'd known since they'd received snacks and nap time together. The school that also included the rigorous and challenging academics that shaped her into the woman she is today. And, the school who contained the one boy who had, with only a few words, ruined her last week.

But then again, she shouldn't have been so emotionally taken back by his attitude over her college decision. She was attending Georgetown, and he was staying close by home, that was that. It was obvious from when she received the acceptance letter. And it wasn't like she was gonna pass up the opportunity, one that she deserved rightfully. However, behaving like his all too familiar narrow minded self, he decided to not only refuse and reject the decision, but openly mock it! To Taylor, it proved to be practically irrational and unforgivable. Whatever his problem was, she wasn't going to let it takeover her day.

"Hey! Hey wait up!" Taylor turned around and smiled as one of her best friends Kelsi apporached her.

"Hey Kels ready for our last week?" Taylor said in mock cheer.

"Absolutely! Senior year is practically finished!" Her friend said, smiling. Taylor laughed, Kelsi was almost as eager for school to end as she was.

"What are we even going to do this week? Shouldn't the seniors just go home and not have to do anything until graduation?"

"I think we're just going to review all our years at East High or something. I don't know." Kelsi responded as they mounted the stairs. Taylor pushed a stray hair behind her hair as she opened the door and stepped in. Almost immediately, she scowled as she saw him, laughing over some stupid joke with Troy and Jason. Whatever the contents were, she wasn't staying to hear. Kelsi, on the other hand grinned and embraced her boyfriend with a hug. "What are you guys rambling on about."

"Well I was just telling Chad here that I'm gonna win those 20 bucks."

"No, see you've got it all wrong. In fact, it's you who's gonna pay me." Chad responded.

"Is this a bet?" Kelsi asked, wondering what possible ridiculous task these two could come up with. Both boys nodded their heads, grinning widely. "Look it's the last week of school. You guys can't afford to be suspended__"

"Calm down Kels," Jason said, tightening his grip on his girlfriend. "It's not that bad."

"And I got it all in the bag." Kelsi rolled her eyes at the comment, averting her attention to Troy. "Are you taking part in this hanous idea too?" Troy shook his head.

"No, I'm leaving it up to them.I'm done with bets for this year."

"Because he embarrassingly lost the last one like a little baby ." Chad said smirking as Trot shot him a look.

"Great, what was the last bet?" She asked innocently.

"You don't need to know." Troy started but Jason beamed.

"Well, Troy here decided to agree on__"

"I swear the god Jason." Troy said threateningly. Jason grinned and faced his girlfriend. "I'll tell you later." He then shot Troy a look. "Some one's being a baby about it." Kelsi shook her head.

"Hey, wait, where'd she go?"

"Who?" Jason asked.

"Um," She looked around, swearing that her friend had been there only a minute ago.

Taylor rolled her eyes, throwing some of her books, more violently then she wanted to into her locker. She was looking for Gabriella, and already knowing she wasn't with Troy, she decided to check her locker. Her assumptions correct, her other best friend was found putting books into her bag, while secretly texting to someone. Taylor inwardly giggled. Gabriella seemed like a total goody goody, but Taylor knew the real her. Quietly she walked over and tapped her back, almost bursting out in laughter watching her reaction.

"God Tay!"

"Gabriella Montez, you know the school rules." Taylor stressed through a Darbus tone. "No electronic devices while in the learning area." Her best friend rolled her eyes.

"Oh, be quiet."

"What's up?"

"Oh you know me, just trying to finish the week." She responded with a smile.

"Same here, just wish it was over." Taylor said a little too forced.

"Are you still mad?" Gabriella asked, giving her friend a sympathetic look.

"Any reason I shouldn't be?" Taylor responded. "It's fine if he doesn't want me to leave, but acting like an asshole about it's a different story." Taylor couldn't help but sigh. Gabriella didn't really have to worry about distance drama, since Troy and she were attending colleges only about 2 hours away from each other. Actually, out of the whole gang, she was the only one to be attending a college on the East Coast. Everyone else was either in California, Washington or remaining in Albuquerque.

"You have a point there. He definitely didn't pick the greatest timing, but it's the last week Tay."

"You're right. The last week I'll have to deal with his nonsense." She responded as the two girls walked into homeroom. It wasn't long before she heard his obnoxious laughter, as the boys plus Kelsi traveled in the room. She stared at the board in disgust. "One week." Gabriella whispered as she patted the young girls back. Kelsi made her way to the end rows and sat next to the girls. "Hey, where'd you go?" She said as she got out her books. "Just had to go somewhere." Taylor responded,keeping her eyes towards the board. "Oh," Kelsi responded as she gave Gabriella a questioning look. Taylor waited until homeroom bell ended, then she grabbed Gabriella's hand and stormed out. While on their way, she heard him make a remark and oh did it fuel her fire!

"Hey Tay, I know about your eagerness to leave, but you're really hurting my hand." Gabriella said as she was literally dragged into the next class they shared. "Oh sorry." Taylor said, letting her hand go and taking her seat. Whatever had just happened, she wasn't going to think about it. After all, Chad and she only had English and Gym together. It shouldn't be that hard. "Thank goodness it's just about our last assignment right?" Gabriella said, taking out a piece of paper. The two prepared for the lesson until they noticed a tall figure come up to them. Taylor looked up slightly.

"Hey you," Troy said as he wrapped his arms around Gabriella.

"Hey," She responded, rubbing his arm. "How's your morning?"

"Pretty well, I was gonna say hi earlier but you guys just bolted out of home room."

"Oh yeah," Taylor responded, with still the slightest hint of annoyance.

"So is everyone siked for graduation?" Gabriella said, looking between the two and trying to lighten conversation.

"Don't have to tell me twice." Troy responded and Taylor nodded. "What are we even supposed to do this last week?" She asked. "I feel like seniors should have the ' you don't have to go to school anymore' rule or something."

"That would be helpful." Troy agreed, playing with some of his girlfriend's wavy locks. "They just want to torture us. Leave us one more week to remember lovely East High." He joked.

Taylor smiled. "I think you're right." She responded, as the teacher came in and began the lesson.

After closing her locker, Taylor walked out onto the track in search for Gabriella. Coach Bolton was making everyone run 6 laps or a mile and a half, and she just wanted to get it over with.

"Hey!" Taylor turned around, spotting her best friend run up. "Troy said this would be our last running or even doing anything practice. That's good news." She stated, dramatically sitting down.

"Yeah. Another thing to be done with." Taylor responded as she began stretching her quads. "Where is Troy anyway?" She asked nonchalantly, scanning the fields.

"I think he's arguing over some bet with Jason by the start line." Taylor looked over and groaned. Of course he would be there too; hair pulled back, sleeveless tee. If he hadn't been such a jerk, she would have came over and said hi or something. Coach Bolton blew his whistle, signaling the students to start. "Let's just get this over with." Taylor said. She helped her friend up and walked to the start line. There, the two (almost always self-selected gym partners) decided to take it easy, only doing two laps at a time.

"I officially hate running." Taylor stated.

"And to think we haven't even done one lap." Gabriella responded. Taylor was about to nod, when they both heard someone come up fast from behind. Taylor turned around, moving aside just in time to see Chad speed past the two. "Asshole." Taylor said loudly, though not sure if he heard it.

"Sorry about that." Gabriella said as the two watched him slow down and run in line with one of his guy friends.

"Why? It's not your fault that he's rude!" Taylor responded.

"We can stop and wait if you want." Her friend suggested.

"No! Why would we do that? Just stick to our initial plan." She responded, as they finished their first lap.

"Ok." Gabriella said as the two kept on running. There was no telling whether he would overlap them again. The two finished their second lap in silence until they reached the finish line to break. Taylor noted that he didn't stop either, and for that she was glad. The last thing she needed was a copycat.

first chapter was kinda wierd, but i think i really like this!
