I love all the reviews, thank you very much! Two chappies down, two more to go, and then it's the last story, '5 things I love'!
Disclaimer: Why can't you let me be! I you have to make me say it?! LOL, Joking.
"Taylor, stop wasting time!" sulked Sharpay. "I want to read out mine before I go all shy and lose the nerve to read this out."
"Patience is a virtue," replied Taylor.
"And . . . ?"
"Sharpay, will you just lay off. Your time will come . . ."yawned Chad.
"And . . . ?" said Sharpay, sensing he had something else to say.
"It'll come if you're patient, that is. Or it won't come at all." grinned Chad, and the class started to laugh. Sharpay pursed her lips.
"Can we please get on with this?" huffed Mr Woodblock. This class could certainly gossip! And at all the wrong times too.
"Okay," Taylor said, as she began . . .
What do I like about you? I like . . .
1. Your hair. It rocks.
"Why thank you!" said Chad, Elvis Presley style.
"My list might not be about you, Chad." said Taylor, raising an eyebrow, and Chad looked outraged, until he realised she was joking.
(A.N. You guys know who he is, right? Elvis Presley?)
2. Your wacky-ness. It balances out the calm, sensible part in me . . . in a good way. (I think.)
3. That you're funny. You always know how to cheer me up.
4. That you're friends with Troy. It does wonders for my rep!
Mr Woodblock snorted loudly, as the class joined in as he laughed.
"Hey!" said Chad indignantly.
5. That you play Basketball. It's a cool sport . . . better than Soccer!
"You got it, girl!" said a black guy on the basketball team, called Jordon Reeves. "Those Soccer fools think they're all that."
"S'cuse me?" said a soccer guy.
"You heard. You think -"
"This is so stupid," said Gabriella loudly. "I could understand if you were arguing with someone from West High, but please!"
"Yeah dude's, what happened to the Wildcat Spirit?" joked Troy.
"Shut it, Bolton," the two boys said together.
6. That you're great company to have around, even if you are wacky.
7. That you can handle me. No one has ever seen me in a really bad mood with a really bad temper, apart from My Mom. She was the first. You are the second.
"I haven't seen your really bad temper!" frowned Gabriella and Taylor replied curtly,
"That's because I don't really get mad around you, Gabi."
"Oh, that's okay then!" smiled Gabriella, and the girls giggled. Sharpay imitated them, and received a few glares.
8. That you have talents that even you don't know about! You say that you 'can't dance' (or that you don't dance), but I've seen you, so you can't fool me, mister.
"I don't dance, though!" exclaimed Chad.
"But you're great at baseball," said Ryan, "And Baseball and Dancing is one and the same. It's the same game!"
"No it's not."
"Yes it is."
"I don't dance, Ryan."
"Whatever Chad, I know you can."
"How did we get onto this subject in the first place?" said Mr Woodblock, genuinely confused. "Chad, Ryan, give it a rest."
9. That you like me too. It would be a bit heartbreaking if you didn't!
The class laughed at the joke. (A.N. And if you got the joke, you should laugh too! LOL)
10. C.D. You all know it's Chad, anyway.
"I knew it was me." nodded Chad in satisfaction.
"Whatever Green – T boy." said Ryan (A.N. Or T-shirt), and Kelsi burst out laughing. Kelsi had such a sweet, delighted laugh, soon enough everyone else joined in.
(A.N. And in Ryan's list, he said the girl he liked had a nice laugh . . . ? Nudge nudge!)
"You step beyond your station, Mint-Man!" said Chad, and posed as if he was about to do Martial Arts. The boys grinned at each other.
"Ryan, don't talk to him, he just wastes time." said Sharpay disgustedly.
"He ain't too bad," grinned Ryan at Chad, "He just needs to know when to 'Jam his Hype'."
"An interesting way of saying that . . ." said Mr Woodblock, and Chad nodded.
A silence followed this, as everyone thought about this. Chad broke out of this moment, and cleared his throat, so that everyone would snap out of it.
What do I like about you? I like . . .
1. That you laugh at my jokes. If you didn't, I'd ignore you. (!)
"Excuse me?" said Taylor, and Gabriella stifled her giggles.
2. That you're smart. I don't have to worry about homework!
"You listen to me, Danforth . . ." Taylor wagged her finger at him.
3. That you're so organised. You always know what to do, even if I don't.
"Aww," gushed Kelsi.
4. That you like bowling. I like it too. Not as much as I like Basketball, of course.
5. That you usually come to watch me play basketball. Who wouldn't want to watch me play? I'm a star!
"Not again!" chanted Taylor, Troy, Jason, and Zeke together.
"Shush, I'm not finished!" scolded Chad.
Anyway, I love that you turn up, you're my good luck charm.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!" the whole class chorused, and cheered loudly when Taylor ran over to give Chad a huge hug, with an added kiss on the cheek.
Sharpay remained stony faced, along with Ms Darbus.
6. That you always remind me to do things I'd forget, like tie my shoelaces, lock my locker, bring my brain . . . well, it happen when you have so much to do.
No one said being a star was easy!
7. That you don't like cheese and onion crisps. It means I don't have to share!
"That statement just proved that you're selfish and greedy." hissed Sharpay.
"That statement just proved that you're arrogant and can't resist sticking your nose in everything." spat Taylor, defending her boyfriend.
"Give it up, Taylor!" Sharpay retorted.
"Yeah, leave it Tay," said Chad, and Taylor looked at him in surprise. "Leave it to someone who can cause the wombat more humiliation!"
Chad laughed coldly, and Troy joined him. Taylor didn't laugh, but she smirked a little.
"Dude, step off." said Zeke, standing up.
"Why don't you just step down, dude!" said Chad firmly. He was already standing up (A.N. he was reading his list, remember?), and he took a step towards Zeke.
"Dude -" Zeke began.
"Dudes, why don't you just shut up!" Kelsi hollered, banging her fist on the table. She looked at Mr Woodblock angrily. Why wasn't he doing anything?
"Why aren't you doing anything?" she asked him. He didn't answer, uncomfortable, so she looked at Ms Darbus, who certainly looked like she would do something about it.
"Both of you boys had better sit on your butts right now, or you'll be in detention as soon as you come back from your summer holidays!"
"You'd do that?" said Zeke, horrified.
"Oh yes, Mr Baylor." Zeke hurriedly sat down, and Chad continued.
8. That we only have a few things in common. I'd go nuts, if I were constantly around someone too much like me. Stars should not be imitated!
9. That you're pretty. But I don't like those creeps from west high who notice and chat you up. Nut-heads.
10. Taylor McKessie!!!!!!!
"Thank you, Chad!" said Mr woodblock, and as Chad sat down, dirty looks were flung across the class.
Zeke to Chad and Taylor.
Taylor to Sharpay.
Sharpay to Taylor and Kelsi.
Kelsi to Zeke.
Zeke to Taylor and Chad.
Chad to Zeke.
It goes on . . . but why all the looks? The only one who had noticed was Ms Darbus, with her beady eye on the class.
Ryan had no clue; he was counting the spots on his hat. Martha was doing homework, Jason was imagining being the 'Heat Wildcat'.
The only other person who would have noticed is Gabriella, but she was too busy wondering if Ryan and Kelsi knew that their lists were about each other. (!!!)
YAY! I'm so excited . . . I'm looking forward to Sharpay's list! First I have to get through Gabriella, Troy and Zeke.
Thank you, readers, for all your reviews! I really appreciate them . . . not that I would appreciate more, of course!
