Hey Everyone! I'm back from a super long writer's block. I have an idea for all my stories now, all I need is to form it up. Starting with Chaylor Romance Challenge!! I would like to dedicate this to Aly and AJ because their song, Something More (which is my FAV song now!), gave me SO much inspiration to write this new chapter. Hope you like it!

Theme: Moonlight

Chapter: Yet Little Did I Know Before….

Taylor opened the door to the house where the after-party was being held at. Music was blasting and people were dancing as she entered. She was nervous at first, since this was her first high-school house party. She couldn't find Gabriella at all so she decided to crash on the nearby couch. A few seconds later, someone plopped right next to her.

"Hey Taylor!" Gabriella said to her. A few other girls soon came behind Gabriella.

"Hey, what's up? I just got here," Taylor replied.

"Oh really, well someone was looking for you for a long time. 'Bout time you showed up," Gabriella smiled.

"Really who?" Taylor asked.

"Your date," a girl beside Taylor giggled. She pointed across the room to where the guys were. There in the middle of the group was Troy and Chad, captain and co-captain of the winning championship Wildcats team. They looked like they were in deep conversation but Chad had strayed his eyes away and soon caught Taylor. Taylor shyly smiled and waved softly. He waved back and smiled.

I didn't know what was in store.
When I walked right through the door.
Then I saw you over there, our blue eyes locked in a stare.

They locked eyes for a while until Taylor pulled away when the girls started giggling.

"What's so funny?" Taylor said.

"Why don't you just go over there and talk to him?" Gabriella asked her.

"Who? Chad? No way," Taylor said quickly.

"Come on! We know you like him and he likes you too," another girl by Gabriella said.

"He likes me?!" Taylor exclaimed.

Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Yes, he does. If not, why does he keep looking over here every 15 seconds,"

Taylor looked back over at the guys again and her best friend was right. He was talking to the guys but he had stole a glance at Taylor. Her heart started to beat faster after that.

I didn't know quite what to say; sometimes words get in the way.

Taylor turned to the girls and gapped, "well….maybe…uh…"

"See! I told you!" Gabriella exclaimed.

"Whatever! I'm getting a drink, be right back!" Taylor said, getting up. She left the girls and made her way through the crowd to get a drink. While doing that, she remembered right after the game….after he asked her out.

Flashback….

Taylor and Chad were walking through the school going to the science room where the Decathlon was held. She had left her stuff there after the chemical incident she caused.

"So, that was a good game tonight. You guys did good!" Taylor said.

"Thanks! I would have done better if it wasn't for number 25; he was blocking me too much," Chad replied.

"Yeah, but at least you won," Taylor told him.

"Yeah, I guess," he said. They entered the room and Chad scrunched up his nose.

"What's that smell?" Chad exclaimed.

"I made a horrible chemical reaction to get us out of here and to Gabi's callbacks," Taylor explained, "it's takes overnight to get rid of the smell."

"You must have put something nasty in there or something because it stinks," Chad said.

"And I thought you were manly," Taylor joked. She grabbed her stuff and they soon headed out. They walked out to the empty parking lot, streamers all over the road. She looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was out that night. It's moonlight was the only source of light outside and Taylor loved it.

"Were you going back home or going straight to the party?" Chad asked.

"I was going home first. I'll be there later," Taylor told him.

"Ok, well I can give you a lift home," Chad said.

Taylor's heart rose. New moments were happening for her all this night. "Ok," she replied. He smiled at her and opened the passenger door for her. When she was inside, he also got in the car and they sped off for home and the after-party.

End Flashback

And I remember the night you said,
"Lets go for a ride" I didn't want the night to end.
Would we be more than friends?
Yet little did I know before,
we would be something more.

Taylor would never forget the ride back home because they had a lot of fun. Karaoke and games was all that happened on the ride. Taylor looked out the nearby window and saw that the moon was still out. Its light was shining on her like she was chosen for something. Shrugging it off, she walked back to the couch and sat back down. Gabriella and Troy was dancing on the floor along with the rest of the gang. She smiled at them, happy that they were having a good time. Soon, she felt something vibrate in her pocket. She pulled out her cell phone to see that she had a text from Chad. Looking around for him, she flipped the lid and the text read,

'Party's boring me and I know you too. Wanna ride with the curly afro boy who keeps it cool? Meet me out front.'

In black and white I read the screen, all your lines and in-between.
Then your message on the phone, I save to hear when I'm all alone
.

Taylor smiled and got her jacket off the couch. She left the room, quickly slipping away before her best friend noticed she was leaving. Once outside, she slipped on her jacket and she tried to zip it up. It wouldn't zip. She tugged and tugged until another hand was on hers and softly pulled the zipper up. It zipped! She looked up to see Chad and she smiled.

"Thanks," she said softly.

"At first, it felt like you weren't gonna come at all," Chad told her.

"Well, I didn't want the co-captain of the team to be stood up for the first time," Taylor joked, slipping away from him. Chad turned around and caught up with her.

"You want to ditch this party and go somewhere quiet?" he asked.

"Ok, I was starting to get a headache," Taylor smiled. He smiled back and they both got into his truck. Soon after, they were on the road to Lord knows where.

"So where are we going?" Taylor asked.

"I don't know. Where you wanna go?" Chad asked back.

Taylor pondered on the thought. 'Where can we go?' She then again looked up at the moon and softly smiled. A few seconds later, her stomach growled. Really loud.

Chad laughed, "I guess a place to eat,"

Taylor blushed and turned away, "Yeah, that's cool,"

They pulled up at the Jane's Diner a few minutes later. Chad and Taylor went inside and got a booth table near the window. Ordering burgers, fries and milkshakes for both, Taylor got another text message. She pulled out her phone and the text read.

Gurl, where are you? I've been looking for you! Chad isn't here either. Did you guys leave? Gabi

"Who's it from?" Chad asked.

"Gabi. She's wondering where we are," Taylor replied, starting another text when Chad took the phone out of her hand.

"Don't worry about it. I want to spend time with just you," Chad told her. She smiled shyly and looked away. He took her open hand above the table and clapsed it with his. A spark of electricity went through both of them, making them pull away. They both looked at each other and softly blushed. Their order soon came and they dug in.

And Now I know just what to say, this doesn't happen everyday.

"So, other than basketball, what else do you like?" Taylor asked him.

"Other than basketball?! Hmmm..." Chad joked while Taylor giggled, "well, I like to play video games, listen to music and..."

"And what?" Taylor pleaded.

Chad sighed, "play the guitar," he whispered.

"What?" Taylor asked.

"I...like to play the guitar," Chad said out loud.

"Really? That's great," Taylor said, "Why be nervous about it?"

"I don't know. After that whole scene in the cafeteria, I guess that some secrets can come out," Chad explained.

"Well, that's cool that you know how to play guitar. I've always wanted to learn," Taylor smiled.

He smiled back and sipped his chocolate milkshake. "So enough about me, what about you?" Chad asked.

"Well, I like to write, read, listen to music, study, and sing," Taylor told him.

"You can sing?" Chad asked.

"Don't say it like that!" Taylor said, punching his arm.

"I wasn't. It was like a surprise. I didn't know," Chad replied.

"Oh ok. Well, I do sing. Just not in public," Taylor said.

"Well, at least we have something in common. Musically," Chad said a few minutes later.

"Yeah, that's pretty cool," Taylor replied, smiling.

And I remember the night you said,
"Lets go for a ride" I didn't want the night to end.
Would we be more than friends?
Yet little did I know before, we would be something more.

Something more, something more. (na na na na,na na na yeah)
We would be something more, something more, something more.

He slid his foot beside Taylor's foot and that same spark was felt between them. This time, they didn't move away. 'Gabriella was right. Maybe he does like me,' Taylor thought. She smiled and looked out at the moon, yet again. It was one of her many hobbies since she loved astronomy. Its moonlight was directy on her and Chad. He had already finished his food and was staring at Taylor. She blushed and looked back at him.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing. You're just...beautiful. That's all," he replied.

Blushing really hard, she looked away. Chad only smiled as he continued to look at her. He saw her continue to look at the moon an it gave him an idea. He moved his foot away from her and took her hand.

"Let's go! I know where we can go next," Chad told her. Taylor nodded and smiled as she let Chad take her wherever he wanted to go. She wanted to keep the night going.

They paid for the food and left a few minutes later. Down the road was a small beach that the gang would go once a month. Taylor turned and looked over at Chad.

"Why are we here?" Taylor asked.

"Just to chill. Why? You wanted to do something else?" Chad asked back.

"No, this is good," Taylor said. She stepped out of the car and was greeted with cold wind. Chad saw this and pulled out a blanket from the backseat. He wrapped it around Taylor and closed the door. She looked back at him and smiled.

"I keep it just in case," Chad smiled proudly. Taylor just laughed and started to walk towards the water. Chad locked the car and headed off towards her. They both sat by the edge of the tide and watched the waves come in. Nervously, he put his arm around her and she leant closer to him. The faint smell of Calvin Klein cologne was still fresh on his neck and she breathed it in lovingly.

"Doesn't the moon look nice tonight?" Chad started.

"Yeah, it does. I always love to look at it. Like if the moon shines down on me, something good happens," Taylor replied.

"Was it always like that?"

"Sorta yeah. I'm just into astronomy, that's all."

I know we're both young, but we know how we feel.
We know what is false, and we know what is real
.

"Taylor,"

"Yeah?" she looked up at him.

"I...uh..."

"What is it?"

"I...really...like you...a lot," he stuttered out.

And I remember the night you said "lets go for a ride"...
I didnt want the night to end...

Taylor felt like she was on Cloud 9. He really liked her. Boy, did she owe Gabi!

"I...really like you too, Chad," she replied.

"Good, I mean, cool..." Chad said. They smiled at each other and they grew closer to each other. He took it the extra mile and touched her lips. Taylor melted into the kiss and responded quickly. His hands moved to her hips and she wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers going through his curly hair.

And I remember the night you said,
"Lets go for a ride" I didn't want the night to end.
Would we be more than friends?
Yet little did I know before, we would be something more.

It felt like eternity when they pulled back. They grinned at each other, happy that they expressed their feeling for one another.

"So what does this mean?" Taylor whispered.

"It means something more than friends, that I know," Chad said.

"So...boyfriend and girlfriend I guess," she asked.

"If you think you can be the Chadster's girlfriend forever?" Chad joked. Taylor bust out laughing and fell onto him.

"Yeah, I think I can," she replied. He smiled back and kissed her hair. She lifted up and they kissed each other once more, the moonlight pondering down on them Starting that night, they weren't just friends.

They were something more. Under the Friday Night moonlight.

And I remember the night you said,
"Lets go for a ride" I didn't want the night to end.
Would we be more than friends?
Yet little did I know before, we would be something more.

Something more, something more. (na na na na,na na na yeah)
Something more, something more. (na na na na,na na na yeah)
