Taylor pulled back and stared into those hypnotising blue eyes before shaking her head and jumping off the kitchen top.
"No! I can't do this, Troy. Not when Gabi is upstairs." Troy smiled weakly and backed away from her.
"I guess I'll see you at school." Taylor nodded and kept silent until Troy was nearly at the door.
"Troy." He turned his head back to Taylor, ready for what she was going to say.
"Did it feel right?" Understanding what she meant, he shrugged his shoulders and whispered.
"No. It's not who I am." Taylor felt her heart clench inside her chest as he left the house and walked towards his own.
At School
On her way to school, Taylor had noticed a shaggy haired boy in his car, with a blonde girl bobbing up and down. She had to hold her mouth when it dropped, but she carried on walking. She noticed people in little groups whispering and laughing, when she felt a presence behind her.
"Taylor, can we talk?" Chad gently took hold of Taylor's arm. She nodded and the two walked into an empty classroom. Chad looked at her for a moment, was he making the right decision? When Taylor came back, she took a week off school and in that week Chad's feelings had diverted. He sighed before leaning against the desk behind him and looking up to those big hazely brown eyes that made him melt.
"So what is it for you and me?" Taylor shook her head, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, are we still together or are we just gonna be friends?" Taylor reached out for his hand and grabbed it tightly.
"Right now, I think I just need a big brother." Chad heard the sadness in her voice and he pulled her into a hug. Taylor began to softly sob into his chest.
"Well can I have just one more kiss before we turn all brother and sister?" Taylor giggled and nodded before the 2 kissed each other. They pulled back and hugged longer. Chad was the one who pulled back and walked towards the door.
"Gabi's probably waiting for me." Taylor tilted her head in confusion, and then it got to her.
"You're dating!! No wonder you don't want little old me." She said pouting out her lips. Chad grinned and shook his head.
"I will always want you Taylor." And with that, he left. Taylor wiped her tears and followed Chad's actions by leaving. She left the classroom grinning but was greeted by a rather tall blonde clinging onto her.
"I have missed you SO much! I know we've talked but not seeing you in person is really bad!! The whole school has been talking about what happened." Taylor sighed in frustration.
"Well that's just great! I have people who already know about me getting stabbed by some random man!" Sharpay carried on walking, twisting her hair every now and then.
"Not about that silly. About the whole love triangle thing." Taylor's breathe caught up to her and tightened her grip on her books.
"What have they been saying?"
"Oh just stuff like how you stole Troy away from Gabi and how Chad hates you 'cos you're a whore." Taylor was taken aback by how far people's judgements could go.
"Anything else that doesn't involve me?"
"Troy's back. For good." Taylor was really confused at this stage. Sharpay sighed before explaining.
"Before Troy got tied down by Gabriella, he was like the king of East High. He had the money, colleges were chasing after him, good grades and obviously the girls. He had sworn to always live that life, that he would never change it. Then Gabriella Montez came. After that, you wouldn't even had recognized him. So yesterday, he made an announcement that Troy Bolton was back, for good."
Taylor grabbed her bags and continued to walk with Sharpay, earning the usual whispers when she'd walk. Suddenly the door burst open and Mr. Bolton himself walked through. His posse of basketball lunk-heads following him and his army of cheerleaders at his heel. Taylor felt her heart race. Instead of walking up to him, she casually walked right in front of him to go to her class, which just so happened to be the same as Troy's. She sat down in an empty chair at the back and began to read her book. When the others began to pour in, people started to chant rude names at Taylor. Taylor was trying really hard to fight back tears but when Troy himself just watched in silence, a lone tear fell from her eye. She quickly wiped her cheek and focused on the lesson. Troy would occasionally look back at her, but he turned back around when she noticed him looking.
At the end of the lesson, Taylor was the first to rush out of the classroom and go look for Sharpay. Since Gabriella had not called during that whole week and Sharpay had, she felt closer to her now. When she found her, she allowed her head to fall on Sharpay's shoulder and she openly began to cry.
"Ssh! Taylor it's okay. Tell me what happened." Taylor leaned back and slammed her head against the wall.
"I can't take it, Shar. I've only been back for what 2 hours and already people are chanting stuff at me."
"Taylor, like I said before, you shouldn't care what they say about you. Just let it go." Taylor shook her head and followed a figure with her eyes. The figure looked back at her before walking away.
"It's not that that's killing me, Shar. It's Troy. He just watched in silence. You know I thought we were friends, even after all that happened. And he just sat there watching me get shrunk to a pulp." Sharpay rubbed Taylor's head and pulled her into a hug. The warning bell suddenly rang and everyone went to get ready for their next class.
Lunch
Ryan was sitting all alone at a table when he noticed Taylor struggling as to where she should sit. He stood up and waved his hand continuously, trying to get her attention. Taylor noticed him and warmed up a little. She walked calmly towards him, ignoring all of the insults coming her way. She sat down next to Sharpay and began to eat her lunch. Gabriella and Chad walked into the lunch hall hand in hand and headed over to Ryan's table and sat next to Kelsi, who was too busy writing down lyrics. Every now and then Taylor would notice Troy glance up at her and mouth sorry at her, she would just glare at him and go back to eating. Towards the end of lunch Taylor heard someone whisper a very rude name and she meekly whispered.
"Excuse me." She walked right out of the hall and made her way to the parking lot. She sat down on one of the steps and buried her face in her hands and began to cry. She heard footsteps and felt a vibe as if someone had sat down beside her.
"Are you okay, Taylor?" Hearing his voice made her wanna scream, but all she could do was ignore him.
"Taylor! I said, are you okay?"
"It's not like I have to answer to you." Troy was taken a back by her attitude. He didn't understand why.
"Taylor, why are you crying?"
"As I said before, it's not like I have to answer to you." She stood up and walked towards the study area outside. She felt a masculine hand grip her arm.
"Taylor! Why are you acting like this?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that question?" Troy let go of her arm and folded his own across his massive chest. Taylor took this gesture as a sign for her to explain. She sighed and turned on her heel to face him.
"Last week. What the hell was that? You kiss me like a gazillion times and I could feel it, Troy. I could feel the passion in those kisses and then you say it's not right and it's not who you are. Then who are you, Troy?" Troy sighed heavily.
"I'm Troy Bolton, basketball player…"
"Yeah, well you're not just a basketball player." Taylor mumbled under her breath.
"Do you wanna say that out loud?"
"Yes! I said you're not just a basketball player."
"Meaning…" Taylor laughed bitterly.
"I saw you this morning with Lil miss Barbie." Troy took a step forward, but only to have Taylor step back.
"See Taylor, that's who I am. I'm a party boy. I like to have fun." Taylor looked into his eyes searching for something, she wasn't sure what, but she was just looking for something. Then she found it. This was the real Troy. The playa Troy and she just had to get used to it 'cos the King was back.
"So are we at least friends?" Troy let out his hand for her to shake but she just shook her head.
"A friend would've stuck up for me in class this morning." Troy paused. He was speechless. It hadn't crossed his mind that this could've hurt and bothered Taylor as much as it did.
"Taylor—"
"Why, Troy?" Troy slipped his hands into his pocket before using one of them to rub the back of his neck.
"Taylor, if I had stuck up for you that would've made me look bad." Troy immediately regretted his words as he looked at the pain that had rushed through Taylor's face. 'What the hell was that, Troy? Now she really hates you!' His thoughts were cut short by a blonde rushing towards them anger in her eyes.
"Taylor! Come on, lunch is over and we have the next class together." Taylor looked back at Troy, her feelings were hurt and she walked back with Sharpay.
End of School
Taylor had refused to walk home with Sharpay so that she could think about what to wear for Keith Efron's party on Wednesday. When she opened the door, she found the nurse that she had in the hospital sitting with her mother. Her mother noticed her come in and smiled.
"Taylor, I think you need to sit down." Taylor cautiously sat next to her mother (which one?) and clasped her hands in her lap. She looked up at her birth mother and smiled warmly.
"Taylor, we want you to make a decision." Taylor nodded slowly. "If you want to go and live with your mother, you can, we understand." Taylor furiously shook her head.
"No. I want to stay right here, mom."
"I understand sweetie, but your mom wants to get to know you better."
"Well how about she visits me on weekends or something?" Her birth mother chipped in. Taylor looked between her 2 mothers and she nodded her head in agreement.
"Okay. I guess that's fine."
"Great! Now Stacey is going to stay over for dinner, so I'll call you when everything is ready." Taylor smiled and graced her mother's with a kiss on their cheeks. She ran upstairs and sat on the window seat that her dad had so kindly made her. She stared out, looking at all the children who were either on their bikes or just enjoying themselves with their friends. She looked up at Troy's house and found him also staring up at her. She narrowed her eyes and hopped off the seat. Her phone vibrated and shook her out of her daze. It was Troy.
Need 2 tlk asap.
C me at park.
Troy
Taylor sighed, knowing how much of a mistake this was gonna be but she had to anyway. She put on her leather jacket and some ballet flats and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going, sweetie?"
"I'm just going for a walk in the park." She smiled sweetly and left the house, locking the door.
She had only been in the park for 5 minutes and no one was here yet. She softly swayed back and forth on the swing and sighed.
"God! He is the most annoying, ignorant, selfish, lunk-head, gonnamakemewaitforhimeventhoughhe'snothere boy EVER!!" She stopped short when she saw those sparkling blue eyes.
"I didn't know you felt so badly about me."
"What did you want, Troy?" Troy sat down on the swing next to her and began to swing back and forth.
"I don't like the fact that were on bad terms. I want to be your friend Taylor." Taylor laughed out loud and sighed.
"We were friends before you just turned on me and went all playa." Troy felt hurt. He would never turn on a friend.
"Taylor I never turned on you." He reached forward and grabbed her hand. A shock went through Taylor's body and she looked from their hands back to Troys face. She pulled her hand back and shook her head. She carefully stood up and backed away from Troy.
"Taylor! Come back!" She ignored him and began to run faster. Troy started to follow her, but stopped when he saw a tear drop, fall into the wind.
"FUCK!"
