The next morning, I awoke early as the result of Taylor and Sharpay having a loud conversation what felt like right next to my ear. They were sitting on the floor, wrapped in a blanket each, eating chips and salsa. Both of them had been asleep, curled up together in Taylor's bed, when I came home late last night.

"Oh look who decided to finally honor us with her presence!" Sharpay called out joyfully when I gathered power to sit up in my bed.

"Come down here and join us" Taylor said and stuffed her mouth full of chips. "Sharpay is telling me about this awesome guy she met last night, it's very interesting, because guess what? He's apparently perfect!"

I groaned slightly, but slowly made my way out of my duvet and down to the floor. All I wanted to do was sleep, but that was impossible with the two loud mouthed people I called my friends. "What time is it?" I mumbled, and lay down with my head resting on Sharpay's lap. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on something else rather than the reeking smell of the salsa, sitting dangerously close to my face.

"Seven!" Sharpay giggled and reached for some chips, merely crushing my head between her legs and her boobs.

I started to count the hours of sleep in my head and grunted some more. "I've slept for three hours…" I whined and tried to re-arrange myself on the floor to a more comfortable position.

Sharpay ignored my complaints and instead nudged my shoulder. "Gabriella, I've found the one!" She kept yelling excitingly.

"Yippee… Does he have a friend?" I mumbled in return, and tried to get her to sit still so that I could continue to use her legs as my pillow.

"Gabriella, he's perfect! There is nothing wrong with him! He is a God!" She squealed and clapped her hands right above my ear. That certainly woke me up.

I sat up straight and yawned loudly. "I guess this means I'll be the crazy cat lady by myself" I said and looked at her.

"Honey… You will find love again!" Taylor comforted me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

I smiled at her weakly but turned back to look at Sharpay. "I'm happy for you, I really am, it's just that I met Marcus yesterday and that ripped everything back to small pieces"

"Oh my God, I specifically forbid him to talk to you. I can't believe what a big idiot he is" Sharpay mumbled and shook her head slowly.

"Oh can't you? Cause I certainly can" I smirked at her and looked at the salsa Taylor was going crazy at. She was really digging in to it, scraping one of the sides of the jar clean with chips. "Chips and salsa for breakfast, that's disgusting" I said to her, but she just shrugged her shoulders and kept eating it.

I felt my stomach moving, and I tilted my head and looked at the bright red salsa jar. I was hungry and a tiny bit hung-over. "Are you gonna give me some of that or what?" I was slightly offended that she hadn't offered me some of it, even though I hadn't showed any emotions of wanting it. As my best friend, she should know that I would eat anything at anytime.

"So tell me more about your guy" I was finally ready to hear about Sharpay's adventures after Taylor passed me the salsa and I had gotten some food in my stomach.

Sharpay gladly started sharing everything she knew about this mystery guy. The only minus about him was that he was a brother at the frat house, which directly made him one of Marcus's friends. His name was Zeke Bailor and he was apparently tall, dark and extremely handsome. His biggest passion's was cooking and baseball – the only sport Sharpay liked.

"Yeah, it's written in the stars. We're a match made from heaven" She beamed after she was done telling us about his grandparents from Florida. The girl had found out more about this guy in one night that I had ever known about Marcus, and we had dated for one and a half years.

Taylor fished up the last drips of salsa, licking the jar clean with one of her fingers. "So Gabriella, what did you do after you stormed out of the party yesterday? I mean, you must have done something because you weren't home when we came here" She looked at me with sharp eyes, as if she knew exactly what I had done last night. But who was I to kid, Mama Taylor always knew everything.

"I went to the beach" I told her in all honesty, and started biting my nails.

Sharpay grinned and waited for me to tell them something more. "Uh-huh, the beach… And then what?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know. My calc professor was there. And he walked me home. It was kind of weird actually, but at the same time really cool" I told them, because why wouldn't I? They were my best friends, and there wasn't anything to hide anyways. He had walked me home to keep me safe, nothing more than that.

"Your professor! And you did what!" Sharpay screeched and both of them looked at me with their eyes wide open.

Why did I feel like I had done something wrong? "Uhm…" Was all I could say.

"You didn't do anything, did you?" Taylor asked warily and observed me carefully.

"What? No!" I was slightly taken aback, but still I knew that I would have thought the same thing if places were switched and one of them had spent their night with their professor.

"Good, keep it that way" Taylor mumbled.

I sighed and thought of the days last semester, when everything had been so easy all the time. I was madly in love and everything around me always felt perfect.

"How old is this professor anyways? I mean he must be ancient and why would you ever step anywhere close to that if you didn't have to?" Sharpay was a little too ruthless sometimes. She said whatever came to mind without ever thinking, and she never felt bad about it either.

I laughed at her. "He just turned thirty, Sharpay..."

The exact same minute I noticed how Sharpay got a little more interested in having this conversation, Taylor's phone started vibrating and Chad's name was flashing on the screen.

"I got to take this, I'll be right back" Taylor said and ran out with her phone still buzzing in her hand.

"Alright now that Mama's gone, spill the beans! How come you didn't mention that he was thirty? Is he hot?" Sharpay attacked me with questions and I felt slightly dizzy. I needed to sleep, but I knew that wasn't a possibility.

I tried to answer everything she wanted to know about him, but I honestly didn't know very much. The more she asked though, the more I felt allured to find out more about him.


The weekend went by quite quickly. It was one of those slow ones, where most time was spent in the dorm room, eating cold pizza ordered from the local pizzeria right by the campus. Both Taylor and Sharpay had been perfectly fine with having movie nights both Saturday and Sunday night, and as usual, Sharpay slept in our dorm room the entire weekend. She didn't like her roommate very much, but I couldn't blame her for it really. Dora was a really interesting character who loved voodoo and magic. She was Sharpay's opposite, and the two of them pretty much hated each other, but they were both too lazy to go and try to get it fixed with new roommates. That's why Sharpay was always around. She slept the entire weekend in my bed, hugging me closely whenever I felt lonely and sad, and I loved her for it.

Monday morning creeped up on us faster than we expected, and we had to drag ourselves up for our early morning classes. I couldn't keep my eyes open for my first class, International Business, so I decided to sleep through it. The teacher wouldn't notice anyways, we were far over a hundred students in that class. All I wanted was for the clock to turn to ten, and for my second class to begin. I couldn't understand why I wanted to get to my Calc class so badly. I knew everything about my teacher was forbidden, and I also knew that even if I had any chance of something happening, I wouldn't take it. I was still hung up on Marcus, that's just the way everything worked. It was impossible to find love this soon after heartbreak.

I slowly approached him, thinking in my head of what to say. Should I just start with a 'hi' or just dig in to a deep conversation right away? I mean we had time; class didn't start for another ten minutes.

Before I could say anything, he turned around and when he saw me, his face lit up in a bright smile.

I was just about to say something, when another student walked by and gave us a funny look.

Mr. Bolton cleared his throat and looked away. "Gabri-… Uhm… Miss. Montez, take a seat please, I need to prepare something for today's class"

I stood there and just stared at him for a long time, watching him do whatever it took to ignore me. I couldn't understand why. I hadn't even had time to say anything to him.

I frowned at him before I turned around and slowly dragged my feet to the seats. Before I turned around though, I catched him sending me an apologetic face.

I couldn't understand what was going on. Up until now I had thought nothing was going on, but by the way he acted, it felt like we both had done something wrong.

Everything confused me.

He confused me.

And the more confused I felt, the more enticing he was.

Everyone knew that forbidden fruit always taste the sweetest.
