Vanessa has arrived in P.S. 118 but back at home, she sings a sad tune that Arnold heard. The question is… WHY? On this chapter, the answer lies there.

Arnold and Vanessa are still in the roof, as Vanessa tells the story of her love with Zac (Efron), HSM style.

(A/N: notice Vanessa's narration in the story, which was based on the HSM story. Vanessa narrates, while clips from High School Musical are shown)

Vanessa said, "We first met in a lodge, in New year's day 2005. We sang together, spoke to each other, and that's how we first met.

"Then, I transferred to East High school in Albuquerque, and I saw him again! Then-"

Arnold interrupted, "Wait, you live in Albuquerque? At that time, a race was been done there, for $ 2 million, in the city next to Albuquerque, which is Silver City." (A/N: Arnold mentioned the place in New Mexico where the last part of the movie "Rat Race" was filmed.)

Vanessa said, "Really?"

Arnold said, "Yes, 'Nessa, but it's over, far from over."

Vanessa continued, "Well, to continue, Zac told me that they had to leave first thing before I can see him again. But someone was interrupting our fun. It's better if I don't mention it for now, how about later? Now, I said to him, 'But if you sign up, I'd consider coming to the show.'

"At the auditions for the musical 'Twinkle Town', Zac and I decided to watch before we audition, but it was too late. Fortunately, we helped Olesya (Rulin) when her compositions got scattered, and then, Alyson (Reed) caught us singing, so we got a part.

"After that, we started rehearsing for the song 'Breaking Free', which we both sang and which the song made the biggest jump- from no. 86 to no. 4- in the Billboard charts. Zac also showed me a secret hiding place in the school as well. But because my friend, Monique (Coleman) and Zac's friend Corbin (Bleu) pulled us from each other, I sang that song."

It was getting late in the night, so Vanessa led Arnold to her room, and in the moonlight, Vanessa continued, "You know, later on, both Corbin and Monique confessed about the plan to separate us, so they tried to bring us back together. We managed to come back to each other again; But Ashley (Tisdale) and Lucas (Grabeel) don't want us to be playing the main characters in the musical, so they changed the date- in the same day that our competitions were held.

"But we all did our best to save the show from them, and we did manage to do so, with the help of our friends. And we managed to save our roles in time. If our friends didn't help us, we're all gone now. After we sang, Zac gave me a kiss.

"And in the end, we both won our battles. I congratulated him, but I never got the chance to kiss him back. Also, Ashley accepted her defeat in case she didn't have the part. And we all sang together in the end, and that's it."

Arnold said, "Wow, you had a great story for real there!"

Vanessa then shows Arnold a group picture of her with her High school Musical cast mates, and a picture frame of her with Zac. Arnold then said, "I didn't know you're missing them now."

Vanessa said, "But because I never got to bring back the favor, can I ask you something, Arnold?"

Arnold said, "What is it, 'Nessa?"

Vanessa shyly replied, "Please, kiss me."

Arnold was shocked and he said, "WHAT?!?!"

Vanessa said, "Please, just for Zac."

Arnold shyly said, "But, 'Nessa, you don't know what you're asking for. I'm 9 years old, and I am in the fourth grade. You, you're 18, and you're supposed to be in college. I can't do it!"

Vanessa then closed the lights and she kissed him straight. Then, Arnold felt his heart tremble with just what Vanessa did to her. With Vanessa's face shining in the moonlight, Arnold said, "One more, 'Nessa. Like I never felt it in my preteen life."

Vanessa then said, "Arnold, this is the start of something new."

Then, in the moonlight, Arnold kissed Vanessa while the song "Careless Whisper" was playing in the background. When, Arnold and Vanessa fell in the bed, the scene faded.

The next day

Vanessa saw hat Arnold was gone, and she tries to find Arnold in his room. Then, she found a note. It said:

'Nessa,

Thanks for the kiss. I left early because it's Friday, and it's school time. You wouldn't be late for school now, Miss Hudgens?

-Arnold

Later on, she realized that she was naked, and she was late for school, so she dashed to her room, locked it and she said, "I'm too late! My students are waiting for me!"

P.S. 118

School was supposed to start anytime now, and Mr. Simmons has entered the classroom and he started speaking. He said, "Ok, class. We'll begin in a few minutes, but, where's Miss Hudgens?"

Helga said, "She might have peed on her way!" everyone then laughed, but Arnold.

Mr. Simmons was not happy of what Helga said, and he said, "Class silence, that's not funny. She's late for one reason that we do not know. We'll have to wait a few more minutes for this."

Then, they heard Vanessa's voice and she made it at last. She was panting and she said, "Mr. Simmons, I made it! Am I too late?" Mr. Simmons said, "No, Miss Hudgens, you're just in time. We were supposed to start but you made it. I'm glad you got in time." Vanessa then got top the teacher's table and she said, "Hello, class! We'll begin our class now."

Everyone was happy, except for Helga, who was banging her head on her notebook for failure.

Helga said to herself, "I'll make a way for you to be gone, sooner or later!"

Arnold had finally got his first kiss from Vanessa, but Helga is not happy about it. On the next chapter, Helga will begin doing stupid ways to get her out of the school.

Watch out for the next one!
