So, so SOOOOOO Sorry for not updating!! I've been really, really busy. I've been on a 3-day schooltrip to Strassbourg (that's in France) and just lots of homework. I also had no Idea what to write... Well, here it is; A New Chapter, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I - sadly - don't own anything but the plot.

Last Time:

"Gabby, you wanna join me to the bathroom??" Taylor asked, sensing she was very very uncomfortable with the scene in front of her. "yes, of course" She said, before mouthing a 'thank you'.

Sharpay and Troy parted and each went to their own seats, which were on the other side of the classroom. Troy sat in front of Chad.

"Dude, why are you kissing in class?!" Chad asked Troy, shocked by the fact he actually kissed back.

"I thought I should continue making her jealous for another week, and then I'll stop. I swore I saw a glint of jealousy in her eyes just then!" Troy answered.

"Whose eyes?" the voice of a familiar girl asked suddenly, startling both boys.

"Uhm.. I.. ehh.." Troy spoke, very scared she might find out.

"Troy, just tell me! There's nothing to be scared of, I'm your best friend remember! Please?" Gabriella asked him once again, getting slightly mad because he won't tell her.

"I, uhm--" Just then, Troy got cut off.

"Class, sit down! Ms. Montez, go to your seat please." Ms. Darbus commanded the class and Gabriella.

"Ugh, don't think you're getting away with it! I want to know as soon as we step out of this classroom!" Gabby told him softly, before going to her seat.

'Phew, that was close' Troy thought.

When the lesson was over, Troy got up as quick as he could to avoid Gabby, but he was too late.

"You're not going anywhere before you tell me who was jealous!" Gabriella told him. She was desperate to know, because if Troy found out she was jealous of him and Sharpay, she wouldn't dare to talk to him for a very, very long time.

"He was just being crazy, he thought he saw jealousy in his mom's eyes when he gave his father a manly hug." Chad told Gabriella, saving Troy's ass.

"Oh, Troy, that's the thing you couldn't tell me?! You're crazy, you know that?" Gabriella said, laughing. But deep inside she hoped it was her jealousy he saw, then he at least knew how she felt without actually telling him.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. It was just stupid, so I was kinda embarrassed to tell you." Troy told her, lying through his teeth. To convince her he gave her one of his famous grins. Apparently it helped, because she walked away to her nest class without asking any more questions.

Troy whispered "thanks dude!" to Chad and he responded with "that was the only time I'm lying for you!"

At the end of their next class which they all had together again, Troy waited for Taylor at the door. They always hung out together when the others had class. Gabriella's, Chad's and Sharpay's next class was Drama. The two girls chose it because they absolutely loved to act, but Chad chose it because he was simply to late for the other option. Taylor and Troy had a free period, because they chose a different subject, which was physics. Taylor chose it because she was very good at it and it was a piece of cake for her to do, and Troy chose this because he was having trouble with it and thought this would help him to become better in it. Gabriella had both subjects, along with some other students, so the two classes couldn't be on the same hour.

When Taylor finally came out of the room, they walked to the cafeteria to sit and maybe eat something. When they found their table and got something to eat, Troy thought it was the perfect time to ask her for advice and maybe also some help.

"Tay, I know Chad already told you, but I really like Gabby. I really, really do! Could you please help me with this, I know I made a huge mistake by using Sharpay to make her jealous… But I know how smart you are, and I thought, well, maybe you could come up with some kind of plan?" Troy ended his speech with an innocent smile on his face, trying to convince Taylor.

"Troy, do you have any idea how mad I am with you right now? Your using two of my best friends! How in the world can you think I actually wanna help you? And don't think you are gonna do the trick with one of your famous 'Bolton Grins' because I'm not gonna fall for it. Never have, and never will!" Taylor spoke, meaning every single word of it.

Troy thought for a while, and carefully chose his words, "Tay, I know you're very upset with me right now. Heck, I would be too! But if you help me, you help Sharpay and Gabriella also, in a way. I mean, with your help I might not hurt them that bad than when you won't help me."

Taylor let his words sink in and realized those words were true. If she helped, she might prevent this thing to get any worse, if that was even possible.

"Okay Troy, I'll help, but you owe me big time. And don't think it's because of you! I'm willing to do it to help my best friends. And when the girls find out about this genius plan of yours," Taylor said using air quotes on the 'genius plan' part, "I have nothing to do with it!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Taylor! You're the best!" Troy said while hugging her. Taylor just mentally whacked herself on the head for getting her in this mess.

-- Friday evening, with Taylor and Sharpay --

"So, what to do next?" Taylor asked Sharpay after they got dressed into their normal clothes again. They had taken a swim in Sharpay's inside-pool that evening.

"Hmm, how about we go to my room, I'll do your hair and after that we pop in a movie?" Sharpay told her after thinking what to do.

"Sure, that sounds like a plan!" The girls threw the wet towels in the laundry basket and ran up the stairs. After about five minutes of running – Sharpay's parent were very wealthy, so they had a big house – they entered Sharpay's room. It was a beautiful bedroom. She had a few rooms for herself, so the bedroom wasn't too big. She had her own bathroom, and her own living room. Her bedroom wasn't all that pink actually, although that is what you would expect. It was just really romantic, with a touch of pink, purple and also black. Her wall had a chique black print, while the background was purple. Her bed had black sheets over it at the moment, with big purple and pink fluffy pillows. Above her bed was a beautiful black chandelier. She had a windowseat with, again, purple and pink fluffy pillows. Then the curtains were hot pink. (pic in profile)

While Sharpay was doing Taylor's hair, they started talking about boys.

"How are things going between you and Chad?" Sharpay wondered, while making another perfect curl in Taylor's hair.

"Things are going perfectly fine! We had another date this afternoon, we went to the movies. At first I thought the date was going nowhere, because he chose this boring movie. When I asked him why, it turned out he did that on purpose." Taylor goes on while a smile creeps on her face, now beautifully done with make-up by Sharpay. "omg, why?" Sharpay asked, thinking it was just Chad being stupid again. "Well, he did it on purpose so there would be almost no one in the theatre and we could snuggle up to eachother and kiss an all, and no one would be bothered with it. I thought it was very romantic, for Chad at least!" "Awww, that's sweet of him. But he paid, right? 'Cause I wouldn't pay for it just to cuddle and kiss, that's a waist of money." Sharpay told Taylor, who now had her hair done in perfectly big curls. "Yes he paid." Taylor laughed.

"And how are things going with you and Troy?" Taylor queries, not interested in it for Sharpay's sake, but to see if Taylor can come up with a plan that won't hurt Sharpay.

"Well, he's very sweet and cute ofcourse! But we don't really click that well, like you and Chad do. You see, I never pictured myself actually being with Troy, he was just another crush. I actually always pictured Troy ending up with Gabriella. But, when I saw Troy playing basketball that night, he looked sooo hot and I figured 'What the hell, I might as well ask him, and it's okay if nothing comes out of it. When he said yes I couldn't believe it at first, I was sooo happy! But now, a week later, it just doesn't feel right." Sharpay blurted out, relieved she finally had the guts to tell someone. Wow, Taylor thought. "But you won't tell anyone, right?" Sharpay asked Taylor with hoping eyes. "Huh? Oh, no of course not sweetheart! Your secret safe with me!" Taylor told her. Great, just great! Now I have to lie to my best friend as well! Stupid Bolton with his stupid plan! "Thank you so much! I just had to tell someone." Sharpay gave Taylor a hug. "Ooo, and since I'm telling you the truth and all – and this makes me feel really bad for Troy but.."

"But what honey, you can tell me.." Taylor told her, trying to get to know what she wanted to tell her.

"Well, you know Zeke? That African-American boy who's on Troy and Chad's basketball team? The one who loves to bake?" Sharpay asked Taylor, hoping that she knew who she meant. "Yeah, of course I know him. What about him?"

"Well, uhm.. First, before I tell you, please don't get mad at me..? Because it's really stupid, and also hurtful towards Troy and I know how well you get along with him." Sharpay started rambling. Oh, honey… You have no idea how wrong you are, at least for this moment! Taylor thought to herself. "It's okay, I won't get mad. Just let me know what's on your mind."

"Okay, thank you. Well, I really like Zeke Baylor. More than I like Troy… I don't want to, 'cause I'm with Troy right now, but I can't help it. He's just so cute, also very good looking, and his cookies are the best!" Sharpay started rambling on about what it was that she liked about him, but Taylor could only think about one thing: Thank god for that!

So, please tell me what you guys think... Am I going to fast, or should it be a short story?
Also, sorry about the big description of Sharpay's room. It was more of a filler. But I came across the picture while I was looking on photobucket, and I just loved it!
