Okay, so we've come to the end of this story.

I know you've all been trying to guess what up with Chad. I'll give you a little clue; it's something to do with something that Ryan and Zeke said.

Any clearer? No? Don't worry. No one guessed exactly right, but some people got close; ilovetoplayball, Estel212 and KatieMalfoy19. 'luv me xoxo GossipGal' was really close.

Well done, you guys. By the time I've posted this, you might have already changed your pennames, but ah well. You know it's you.

So anyway, read and enjoy!

Disclaimer: La la la la . . .

"I'm really not bothered to read my list out now . . ." huffed Zeke, but Mr Woodblock wasn't having it.

"I could go first if you want, Sir!" offered Sharpay cheerfully, but with the look he gave her, she shouldn't have bothered asking.

Zeke stood up. He threw a rubber band at Chad to check that he was still alive, and when Chad fidgeted, (and the class laughed, AGAIN,) he began, grinning.

What do I like about you? I like . . .

1. Your attitude. You know exactly what you want.

"Who does that sound like," muttered Jason so quietly, almost no one heard him.

2. That you're unique.

3. You take the word 'walk' to a completely different level. I think' strut' is the word to be used here.

"Hmm, now who does that sound like," mumbled Gabriella, so quietly, almost no one heard her.

4. Cheering you up with an almost-perfect Crème Brûlée.

5. That I get to see you every day; I just have to join Troy on his jaunt to the auditorium.

"Oh . . . now who does that sound like?" ushered Troy so quietly, almost no one heard him.

6. That you're not just ordinary, you have a special talent. Singing!

7. That you get other guys not to like you. (all the better for me!) As for the ones that do . . . ah, the hell with them.

"Huh! Who does that sound like?" whispered Kelsi so quietly, almost no one heard her.

8. That you usually know what to do.

9. Your golden hair. It's hard to miss.

Chad's eyes widened, and he looked at Taylor. She grinned. She said aloud what he was about to say, and what everyone else had said.

"Oh, let me guess, who does that sound like?" she giggled and looked at Chad, but she forgot to be quiet, so almost everyone heard her.

"Yeah, we can shut up about it now." said Zeke, sarcasm in his voice. "I did hear all of you muttering, you know, I'm not deaf!"

The accused laughed guiltily, while Chad rolled his eyes.

10. S.E.

And the whole class cried . . .

"SHARPAY EVANS!!!!!"

Sharpay looked a bit shocked at first, but then she got up and gave Zeke a hug.

Sharpay did a little curtsy as Zeke sat down. "Thank you!" she called happily, lapping it up.

"Okay, people, quiet now." Sharpay said bossily. "I know you're happy for me, but please shut up now so I can read my list."

"You think she'd be modest for once!" exclaimed Jason, and Kelsi nodded.

"Sharpay, can we put your list on hold for a few seconds," said Mr Woodblock. "Chad. Would you like to come outside and tell me what's up?"

Chad shook his head. He wrote on a paper and held up; Only a bit more to go.

"Bit more of what? Chad, elaborate!" pressed Mr Woodblock. He was dying to know what was going on, like everyone else.

"Yeah, embellish!" urged Martha.

Chad held up ten fingers, then he put fingers down, one by one. "What are you doing?" asked Kelsi, confused. Sharpay muttered,

"Amen. Him and his games are holding me up. I wanna read my list!"

"Patience, Sharpay . . ." said Mr Woodblock, watching Chad intently.

Ms Darbus looked at Chad like he was crazy, but the rest of the class watched Chad with interest.

Just as he got to zero fingers, Ryan said, "What the hell is he doing?"

"What the hell you told me to do, Mint-Man," grinned Chad, and the class cheered wildly as he stood up and did a little bow.

"He's talking again!" cheered Ryan loudly.

"Chad . . ." sighed Ms Darbus croakily, "Explain."

Chad stood up and cleared his throat. "Well, Ryan said I need to know when to 'Jam my Hype', right?" began Chad.

"Yeeeees?" chorused the class.

"Well, fighting with Zeke ticked me off, so I told myself that I wouldn't speak until we'd done 3 more lists, because no one thought I could!" shrugged Chad.

"Chad, you don't need to prove yourself to us, man!" Troy sighed. and Taylor looked sympathetically at him.

"Well, I was gonna stay silent through 4 lists, but I wanted to opportunity to be able to gloat at Sharpay." He grinned, which set everyone off. Sharpay sighed.

"For once, Chad, I don't care what you say."

"Then I will, once again, say nothing!" said Chad so casually, no one knew if he was being serious. Sharpay, surprised, gave him a nervous smile.

"Really?"

"Yup. Wait, you did write about Zeke, didn't you? Because then I will have something to say!" frowned Chad as he sat down.

"Yes!" said Sharpay, annoyed. Everyone giggled and Zeke beamed.

"Okay, calm down everyone. Fire away, Sharpay." nodded Mr Woodblock.

What do I like about you? I like . . .

1. That your ego isn't bigger than your head.

2. Your Mysterious-ness. No one know's who you are . . . they all think I like Troy Bolton!

Sharpay looked pointedly at Kelsi, who had put quite a bit of that on her 'annoying things' list, and she said, "Well, not anymore."

Troy smiled widely, and exchanged looks with Gabriella.

3. That you always know how to cheer me up . . .

"With an almost-perfect Crème Brûlée!" enthused the class, laughing as they did so.

Sharpay smiled. "Well done, Children," she said sweetly, "You're learning!"

More laughter.

4. That you're not like the other guys . . . another Ryan would be too much arrogance, another Troy would be too much talent, and another Chad would be a friggin' Nightmare!

Chad, who had sworn not to speak during her list, just shook a fist at her, and Troy and Ryan also looked sceptically at her.

5. Your smile. It's sweet!

6. That you always come to watch me rehearse. It's so cool having a fan!

Chad snorted, but then remembered his promise. He covered his mouth with his hand, as Sharpay glared at him.

7. That you get on with Ryan. It's not cool going out with someone that doesn't like your family.

8. That you're on the basketball team. LOL!

"That what I put." Nodded Taylor.

"Well, it's a cool sport!" agreed Sharpay, and the two girls giggled.

"I swear they were fighting 3 lists ago!" Chad said loudly to Troy.

"I guess girls just don't hold grudges against each other, just everyone else," said Troy darkly. "And you just broke your promise Chad, by the way." Chad slapped his own head.

"Oh, believe me, we can hold grudges against each other!" said Gabriella, exchanging glances with Taylor, remembering bad times.

"Okay then, Brother," Chad turned to Zeke. "I declare a truce."

"Done, B-Ball Brother!" grinned Zeke, and they got up and shook hands on it.

"What's is it with this 'brother' thing?" Kelsi whispered to Sharpay.

"Explain later," Sharpay whispered back.

9. That you're so cute. That why make a dynamite team . . . so am I!

Chad rolled his eyes, as if to say, 'Typical'.

"So, what's number 10 then, Children?" Sharpay asked, and put a hand to her ear.

"Z.B." The group yelled, and they clapped for Sharpay as she curtsied again and sat down. Zeke continued to grin.

"Sharpay, you're a born actor, I'll give you that." Chad shook his head, and Sharpay smiled.

"What about me?" demanded Taylor, indignantly.

"You're a born mathematician slash scientist, and you know that anyway." sighed Chad, and the couple grinned, the class snorting away.

"Well done, guys! It was interesting to note that the eight of you wrote about someone else in this class, someone you liked in an intimate way, and not a relative or friend. Fascinating!" grinning Mr Woodblock, and the class guffawed.

Ms Darbus thought it was appalling.

"We only have to get through one more piece of homework," ushered Mr Woodblock, as though it was exciting, "And if we finish before the bell, you can relax, and I can go for-"

"Aren't we having you for the double period, Sir?" asked Gabriella.

"What? Oh, no! No, just the first period."

"Then . . . who's taking the second?" said Ryan abruptly. The whole class was alert and listening. What was going on?

"I am." declared Ms Darbus, and if every pupil in the class were flowers, they would have withered away.

You could practically see the teenagers wilting, their shoulders drooping. But one stinging nettle stayed strong . . .

"What?!" yelped Chad, unhappily.

"Is there a problem, Mr Danforth?" asked Ms Darbus, raising an eyebrow.

"Um . . ." Chad hesitated, thinking quickly of a convincing lie. "What if . . . what if we don't get to finish going over the homework before the time's up?"

"Don't worry. Going two minutes over isn't a big deal." said Mr Woodblock before Mr Darbus could answer, and she huffed.

"Awesome! Let's get started on the next homework, I'm in the mood for some lovin'." grinned Chad, waggling his eyebrows. Everyone laughed hysterically.

"You're right." nodded Mr Woodblock. "Let's get started on '5 things I love' . . . "

The end of Part 2, but not the end of the story! The third and final Part, the sequel, '5 things I love', is to be posted ASAP!

Like last time, I'll remind you that if you put me on Author Alert, you'll be automatically told when the sequel is out. However, if you prefer, I'll PM you and let you know.

You can leave a review to let me know, if you want, and I would appreciate it!

P.S. And, because I'm so pleased with the amount of reviews, I've decided to give you a sneak peak of the next story!

Enjoy!

"Troy, stop mucking around!" Gabriella warned him. "Ms Darbus and Mr Woodblock only went outside for one second, what if . . . ?"

"Stop worrying, Gabi!" said Troy smoothly.

He was dancing on his desk comically, and Chad was watching for the teachers through the window of the door, with the class egging them on.

"Troy, stop showing off." huffed Sharpay. "For once, you're worse than Chad!"

"Shush you," said Troy, annoyed. "Everybody keeps talking at me!"

"Dude, it's like everybody's trying to get in your head. You need to listen to your own heart talking!" grinned Chad.

"Shut up Chad," scolded Troy. "What do you know of such things?" Chad turned to face him for a second.

"Right back at'cha dude. When I shout that the teachers have come back, you won't get down quick enough. Your ass is gonna get busted!"

"He's right." said Taylor. "Can you get down quick enough?"

"You can bet on it!" replied Troy, but as soon as he said it, Chad yelled and everyone got back to his or her seat, while Troy didn't have the faintest idea what the heck was gong on.

"What the-" he started. The classroom door opened.

"Troy, get down!" hissed Sharpay and Kelsi in unison.

Troy tried to, but his laces got caught on a bit of splintered wood from his desk, and he crashed to the floor . . . as Ms Darbus and Mr Woodblock walked in . . .

Ohhhhh boy! LOL, He's in for it now!

I hope you enjoyed this, and if you liked this story, don't forget to watch out for the last part!

Thanks for sticking around so far . . .
