Chapter Seven

Troy and Taylor were currently at lunch eating with their friends, Sharpay Evans and her boyfriend Zeke Baylor. Troy tapped his finger on the table, and glanced at the entrance. Sharpay looked at him and then at the entrance. "What or who are you waiting for?" she asked only to be nudged by Zeke who she immediately sent a death glare at. "What, I was just wondering he keeps on glancing over there."

"Well if you must know I was looking for Chad…he wasn't acting like himself in math today right Zeke." Zeke glanced up from his meal and looked at Troy for a moment before nodding his head.

"Yeah, he wasn't his normal hyper self this time around…he's was kind of sad and moody."

"Yeah, and he wouldn't even talk to us." Sharpay rolled her eyes and placed her hands on the table, as she looked at Troy.

"Maybe he's getting a little bit more mature."

"Baby, don't be rude." Zeke said from her side, just as Chad stormed into the cafeteria followed by a crying Gabriella. They all watched as Chad made his way over to their table. As soon as he got there he grabbed Troy by the collar of his shirt and yanked him up out of his seat. Troy immediately brought his hands up to Chad's shoulders and pushed him back just as Zeke made his way between them to keep them apart. "What the hell is going on here man?"

"You ask this backstabbing bastard."

"For real man I don't even know what's going on here." Troy said surprised by the rage coming off Chad. His words seemed to have an affect on Chad whose jaw clenched in anger before he pointed a shaking finger in Troy's direction.

"Oh really you don't know what's going on…then tell me why my girlfriend thinks she has a chance with you." Everyone paused and looked between Troy and a tearful Gabriella, Sharpay sent a concern look at Taylor who had stood up and backed away from the table, before turning and leaving. Troy noticed and immediately as she left and called out to her, Sharpay sighed and stood as well.

"Don't worry I'll go after her okay…just handle this alright." She said grabbing her purse and heading off after Taylor. Once she left the cafeteria Troy looked at Chad who was breathing heavily trying his best to calm down.

"I have no idea Chad why Gabriella thinks we have a-."

"Oh shut it man…I see you for what you really are. Trying to play me, Gabriella and Taylor and guess what I'm not going to stand for it so you can take that bullshit player act you had at West High and get the hell on." Troy immediately looked at Gabriella and then back at Chad.

"Is she the one that told you I was hitting on her or something?"

"It isn't any of your business…I found out and you're lucky Zeke is keeping me over here or I'd tear you apart."

"She's lying to you man I haven't hit on her since I got here. I had to tell her off once for getting into my business and that was it." Chad seemed to finally be listening to him because he backed down and looked over at Gabriella who was looking very guilty at the moment. Troy sighed with relief and the looked at Chad over Zeke's shoulder. "I wouldn't do that to you man you're like one of the first real friends I've ever had in my entire life man."

"Did you lie, Gabby?" Chad asked and there was no denying the hurt that came off of him in waves as he looked at the girl he had been going out with for the last eight months. When she nodded her head he, smiled sadly and just turned on his heels and headed towards the exit, Gabriella hot on his heels. Troy watched them for a moment as they talked heatedly in the corner near the exit. He glanced up as Sharpay entered the cafeteria again looking very worried, he looked at her wanting to know where Taylor was. Sharpay walked over and placed her arm around his shoulder.

"What's going on?" he asked

"Taylor's locked herself up in the girl's bathroom and I can't get her to come out…she's pretty upset right now." Troy sighed and rubbed a hand over his face, as he mentally went over his options. Suddenly an idea popped into his head and looked at Sharpay with determination in his eyes.

"Well I guess I'll just have to go and talk to her." Sharpay glanced at him in surprised and then looked at Zeke who was on the other side of her before speaking to Troy. "I'm sorry I must not have made myself clear…she's in the girl's restroom."

"Oh I heard you alright…I'm just going to go into the bathroom and talk to her after you clear it out of course." He said with a blush, Sharpay nodded her head and then went her face suddenly broke out into a bright smile before she looked at him and shook her head.

"Boy are you something else." She said skipping ahead of him to go ahead and clear out the bathroom and maybe while she was at it she could go ahead and ask Zeke to pop some popcorn because this was currently going to be a good show.

Taylor had just came out of the stall she had been hiding in when Sharpay had entered earlier she walked over to the sink grabbing a paper towel; she looked at herself in the mirror and slowly began to wipe her eyes. She looked over her shoulder as Sharpay came in shattering the peaceful quiet that had once been inside the bathroom. Sharpay looked at her for a moment and then around the bathroom. "Oh so you're alone?" she asked as she leaned against the wall. "Or do you want company."

"I'd rather be alone." Taylor stated firmly not looking at Sharpay, shrugging her shoulders Sharpay nodding her head and walked outside just as Troy and Zeke came up the hallway. She smiled at Troy and pointed at the restroom.

"She's alone and let me tell you right now that we," she said pointing to herself and Zeke. "Are leaving when the bell rings." She said with a smile, Troy nodded and then looked at the bathroom door, with a sigh he walked inside the girl's restroom. He gently pressed the door closed and then looked at Taylor who was currently wiping her face.

"Sharpay I told you I wanted to be alone."

"I couldn't be leave you alone if you wanted me too." She turned around immediately recognizing his voice, with a shake of her head she pointed at her and shook her head.

"You shouldn't be in here, Troy. You're going get us both in trouble." Troy pushed himself off the door and walked towards her with his arms by his side.

"I want you to talk to me, Tay. I want to know why you left like you did. I know you didn't believe her." She sighed and shook her head sadly.

"I…I-."

"I know you don't believe that…come on now. Who's the girl I've been hanging out with the moment I walked into this school three months ago. It sure as hell wasn't Gabriella Montez. Nope it sure wasn't…I was hanging out with you and only you." He whispered as he finally stopped walking and stood in front of her.

"Troy, please just leave me alone I don't think I can do this right now."

"I'm not going to walk away so you can build up so type of resistance to my words, Taylor. You know I care about you and I don't know why you were so upset about what Gabriella said. I already told you that I'm not interested in her. Didn't I already tell you that?"

"You did?"

"Then why are you letting that bother you, Taylor. I care about you and I am not interested in Gabriella…I'm….I'm interested in someone else." He whispered softly as he looked into her eyes. Taylor looked at him for a moment before sighing.

"Who's that?" he smiled down at her and kissed her forehead softly before answering her.

"You." She looked up at him in shock, and then was surprised as Troy's lips came crashing down on hers. Taylor stood still in shock as Troy kissed her before she closed her eyes and got lost in the best kiss of her young life. Taylor held her tightly as he kissed her passionately, just like he had been dreaming of doing for the last month and a half. Taylor wrapped her arms around his neck and if possible deepens the kiss even more. They stood there locked in a heated embraced not aware of the bell ringing and rush of students outside the bathroom. When air became needed they pulled apart but rested their foreheads against one another. "You…baby I'm only interested in you." He whispered before bending his head and capturing yet another kiss. When they pulled apart, Taylor leaned her head on Troy's chest and he wrapped his arms around her. She giggled and held herself to him tighten.

"This was certainly not how I imagined my first kiss to take place."

"But you won't forget it will you." He said with a wink as he kissed her forehead on last time as the door to the bathroom opened and in walked a freshman, she looked between the two of them and blushing a deep red she quickly backed out of the restroom. Troy and Taylor laughed out loud at her exit before they decided to leave before a teacher returned. As they walked down the hallway holding hands, Taylor looked at him and asked the question that had been on her mind since he had said he was interested in her.

"What made you interested in me?" He looked at her and smiled.

"Everything about you…the way help me with work, the way you're so patience and loving with Victoria. To put it in the simplest of terms I like you, because you're Taylor Anne McKessie."

"Troy, I think that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me." She whispered as he leaned up and placed another kiss on his lips. He smiled and gently stepped away from her.

"We better stop unless you want to get us both in trouble." He said with chuckle as she looked up at him. Moments later they entered their classroom fifteen minutes late, the teacher seemed to not notice them as they sat down in their desk near the back of the room behind Zeke and Sharpay who turned around and looked at them expecting a quick rundown on what had transpired in the girl's restroom.

"We're going out now, Shar." Taylor exclaimed as she looked at Chad and Gabriella who had just entered the room. Chad picked the sit the farthest away from everyone as Taylor went and sat down.

"About damn time."

"Excuse what did you say, Ms. Evans." Sharpay jerked her head around and smiled at the teacher who simply raised an eyebrow at her waiting on her response.

"Nothing ma'am." The teacher looked at Sharpay for a moment before returning her attention to the board. Sharpay glanced over at Chad and then at Gabriella and shook her head for a moment.

"You know they broke up."

"Chad must be devastated." Taylor whispered softly as she looked over at Chad who was currently sitting in the desk with his head down. She couldn't help but feel bad for her friend. She didn't understand why Gabriella did what she did. It was true Troy had told her a long time ago that he wasn't interested in her. So she really didn't understand where her old friend was coming from. She took that time to look over at Gabriella who was just sitting in her desk and every once in awhile she would look over at Chad.

"Don't worry they'll either get over it or get together again…you know how those two are." Sharpay said with a roll of her eyes. Taylor looked over at Chad who was sitting there in his desk looking like his world had ended before looking over at Troy who was currently taking notes. He glanced up when he felt her glaze on him. He smiled and winked at her before returning to writing down his notes, and Taylor couldn't help but smile as the wonderful feeling of contentment came over her.
