Alright all, I'm glad that you weren't all exactly pissed about my short chapter and I'm glad that you answered the two questions, although both of you picked two different days, but both of you wanted me to write the optional chapter, so I'll be along as soon as it forms in my head. Anyway I think maybe the new kids should get to know the old kids, wouldn't you agree?

I do not OWN High School Musical in anyway, I only own Namoi and Locelyn and other possibly characters. I am telling this through Taylor's eyes, as well as a few other people this is NOT ME.

Thank you!

Recap:

I was almost to the bus when I heard it rumble to life, I jogged up to the door and the door sprung open and I climbed up the steps onto the chatter filled bus. Everyone stopped talking and cheered, I had forgotten about the dancing I did about an hour ago so I shyly smiled and walked calmly to the back of the bus I sat in the seat that I was in before, just minus Derek and Anthony and looked over at Des.

"Taylor? Are you alright? Did that boy do something to you?"

"It's a long story, Des." I replied with a sigh

"I'm all ears."

"We don't have enough time."

"We have a whole hour."

"It's a lot more than an hour's worth of explaining." I said while laughing

"Just start talking, and what we have left after hour you can sum up." Des smiled

This girl must really want to know what all happened, so I spent the next following thirty-five minutes explaining to Des what happened over the course of two months. Desiree, you couldn't tell she was mad until she punched the bus seat and made the person sitting in front of her turn around asking 'what gives?'

"That thieving, lying twit."

Of course Des wasn't going to curse, unlike Gabi…

"Taylor? Is that why when Derek called you 'Tay' you started to cry?"

I nodded my head and laid my forehead against the window, Des got the message and said that later on we'd talk, and left me alone. As I laid there I realized, I never wanted Derek or Anthony yes I liked them for their looks and their great personalities but the only guy that I wanted was a guy I couldn't have, his name started with Chad and I was indeed pregnant with his child.

--

"You are hear by no longer trust worthy Taylor. Not only did you lie to me and your father but you lied about why you wanted to move schools."

"Mom, I know what I did was stupid but what more could I do?"

"Not have slept around like a little slut, Taylor you knew damn well that boys are trouble, your father has told you more than countless times."

My father just sat there, he glanced at me a few times but most with a hurt look on his face. Sometimes I just wish that I could have run away, had a car and some sort of money so I could have ran away. I would probably have more help in the real world than here with my mother, maybe I could just live with grandma.

"Taylor? Are listening?" my mother snapped

I sat there, at the table with my arms crossed. If my mom thought she was going to completely blame me for being…caught up in the moment I wasn't going to allow her. If I was only a senior…

"You know mom, I don't have to take this." I said standing up "Mom, I chose to be a big girl and tell you when I made an error and if this is how you chose to accept it, then I might as well just run out into the big world."

"Taylor, don't do that."

"Don't do what mom? I'm not saying that you had to welcome this with open arms but you could at least help me get my mind wrapped around this."

"She does have a point Marianne" My father said and winked at me (Not in a dirty way, but on her side…perverts)

My mother sighed and sat back down, and then she closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them and looked at me.

"You know Taylor; I was pregnant with you at seventeen."

"I know mom, you've warned me about teen pregnancy." I sat down and put my hand on my forehead "And what do I do? I still do it anyway."

I began to cry, again. I seemed to be doing that a lot now; the doctor did say that I would be moody and pretty much sick for a little while.

"Taylor? I think you should probably explain what all has been happening for the last two months."

"And three weeks." My father finished

"Well mom it all started when the day that I called you about letting Chad come over for help on that test we had in Astronomy." I started

So after an hour of explaining what had been going on in the last two months, I felt…more free, less bound to handling things on my own.

"Oh Taylor, why didn't you just tell me all of that before?" my mother had somehow moved closer to me and was on and off hugging me

"Because mom, you've seemed to always be mad with me. Why do you think I would seem to disappear a lot at night?"

"I just figured you were so wrapped up in your school work that you didn't want to be bothered."

I nodded my head, and looked down at the table.

"Taylor?" my mom placed her hand on my knee

"Honey, I've never been mad at you. Yes I was a little angry an hour ago but that was until I knew where you were coming from, I just figured you had gotten "pregnant" for attention."

Was my mom serious?

I didn't say anything back, I just sat there. She could think whatever she wanted to think, I knew I wasn't doing it for attention.

"Taylor, Honey? Does Chad know?" my father asked timidly

"Dad, I can't tell him, he already has a kid on the way minus mine like I told you and mom before." I said and sat in my mother's seat since she left after her little 'episode' about my attention craving

"Taylor, you really should tell him. I don't care if he has every girl at East High having his baby he really should know."

"I guess I could tell him."

"Guessing is out of the question, you're going to tell him." He said patting my hand "Your mother and I will deal with his parents."

"Really dad?" I squealed

My father nodded his head, and I went over to hug him. I hugged my dad as hard as I could, and he hugged me just as hard. My father and I talked a little while longer until I decided to go to bed. When I got upstairs I noticed that I had a missed call from Derek, I quickly called him back since he wouldn't probably go to bed until about three am.

"Hey Taylor, did you tell them?"

Yeah, Derek knew he was the one that got me to my appointment and let me cry in his car after the ordeal. He was the one that I told first about my traumatic two months at East High, he didn't exactly hate any of my old friends he just thought they were stupid imbeciles that couldn't handle a little threat. Did I mention Derek grew up in the hardcore ghetto before he moved to a nicer area?

"Yup."

"How did that go?"

"Well, you were right…again." I said with a giggled and a sigh

"Aren't I always?"

Big headed Derek, my mom would LOVE Derek…

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Well my dad wants me to tell Chad."

"And you should Taylor; he has a right to know."

"I know."

"You know, since we're talking about Chad…"

"No one started talking about Chad Derek." I snapped

"True, but his name did come up Taylor; anyway as I was saying he wants to hang out with everyone tomorrow, both groups included."

"Can't go."

"Taylor…."

"I can't Derek, even though my mom is accepting it I should probably stay close to home."

"I know he hurt you, I know they all hurt you but you should at least hear them out Taylor."

"Hear them out?"

"Taylor, I know they were set up by Naomi. Even if you won't believe it they probably were, I mean I grew up in the ghetto and I had fake friends that would leave me because they valued their lives more than friendships. I lost a lot of friends because they couldn't tell between fake threats and real ones."

I rubbed my temples, maybe I really should go. But my mom probably wants me to stay home…god what do I do?

"Taylor, if you want I can come over and talk to your parents for you." Derek offered

"Der, they hardly know you."

"So they can get to know me, trust me I can behave."

I laughed, and it was a long laugh, Derek could always turn serious moments into laugh out loud moments and make the thick air breathable again.

"Well I could tell them that I'm going to tell Chad about the baby…" I opened

"That's my Taylor, telling lies to gain freedom."

"Hey!" I called out

Derek laughed and we talked for probably an hour until I started to yawn frequently and I was told, by Derek to go to bed and that he would pick me up and be my loyal chaperone tomorrow, I thanked him and hung up. I got ready for bed, brushed my teeth, took the vitamins that the doctor subscribed and before I layed my head on my pillow I was fast asleep.

Chad's P.O.V:

I was indeed worried; Derek said he would talk to Taylor for me. Well not exactly talk to her but get her to come out tomorrow so I and everyone else could talk to her, explain and hope and pray to god that she would forgive us. Me in general. My parents had left for some overnight trip thingy and my little sisters were over at a friend's house so I was completely bored and alone that is until the phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered on the first ring

"Geez Chad, what did I tell you about sounding too desperate?" Derek chided

"I AM desperate Derek."

"Well I have news; she will be there tomorrow at the thingy I mean."

"Really?! I mean oh, that's cool."

"That's the way, Chad. Umm Chad?"

"Yeah?"

"You were threatened by Naomi to stop give Taylor the cold shoulder…right?"

"As much as it hurts to tell this to another guy, yes I was. And to be honest I've never been so scared before about my life as well as Taylor's."

"That's what I thought. Anyway Chad I have done my duty and I need to go to bed, I really don't want to meet Taylor's parents on a bad foot tomorrow so I need my beauty rest."

"One question before you go Derek." I asked

"Yeah?"

"Is it true that you're gay?"

"Nope, I'm not I just haven't found a girl that catches my interest other than Taylor."

"So you have eyes for Taylor?"

"Dude, don't be stupid I know you and her belong together. Yes I do think she's attractive and I would have gotten with her if you and her were not meant to be together."

"So wait, you can tell who belongs together?"

"How the hell are you in High School? No I cannot tell, I can just sense how strongly you two pull to one another."

"Oh."

"Chad?"

"What?"

"Tomorrow, THINK about what you say before you say it to Taylor. I had to talk her into sneaking out for you, and if you screw this up for yourself, For Gabi and everyone else I can't help you out again man."

"You got it, Derek. Thanks again."

"Anytime."

Derek and I hung up, and I layed back on my pillows and dug around under my pillow for…ah ha! I pulled out a picture that Taylor and I took together when we went out for two weeks, she had her arms around my neck and her lips pressed to my cheek and I had the goofiest smile on my face. But it was a smile of happiness, and pure enjoyment. I couldn't believe that of all people in the world for me to fall in love with I fell in love with the school's smartest girl Taylor Anne Mckessie and I fell hard. I placed the picture on my night stand, standing up against my lamp and grabbed a small sliver remote and pressed the 'play' arrow.

Some things last until end of time
But would we had, just couldn't survive
I got so used to you in my life,
so now that you're gone, there's something missing inside.

How can you expect me to just move on?
When you're what I lived for, you're all I know
Got used to having you to lean on
Without you, I am left with the fear of flying (can't do it on my own)
Flying (can't do it on my own), Flying (Just can't do it on my own), ohhh
The fear of flying (can't do it on my own)
Flying (can't do it on my own), Flying (Just can't do it on my own), ohhh

Even though I didn't like the Corbin guy, he could sing about some of the things that I could relate to. I couldn't believe that Taylor just expected me to just give her up like that. And for me to sleep with Naomi? When I said that I was virgin, and how I gave my virginity to Taylor that night? I set the remote back down on the nightstand, turned out my light and climbed under the covers. I un dressed under the covers, only in my blue polka dotted boxers and fell asleep with Corbin Bleu on repeat.

The next day… in Taylor's P.O.V

I was waiting on the front steps for Derek to arrive when I saw a dark blue car. It looked sort of like a sports car but with four doors, and it pulled into my driveway. It couldn't be Derek, could it?

The car came to a stop, and the car died. And the driver's door opened and it was, Derek after all and then the passenger door opened as well to see...Naomi?! Derek went over to her side and kissed her passionately, and then they walked hand over to me.

"Well, little Taylor did you think you could escape me? " Naomi taunted

I shook my head, Derek had his arms wrapped around her waist and his chin was on her shoulder beaming down at me. There was no way that Derek could find Naomi attractive, she was a Prego slut.

"So Taylor, how do you want your major beating? Here? Or to where you're precious little Chad can watch?"

I gave Naomi a confused look and scene changed, I was tied up handing from the ceiling and Chad was down at my feet, tied up as well and had a rope tied around his mouth which Chad was clamping down on, hard. I screamed and I was whipped along my back, what sort of freakish fantasy was this?I heard laughter, and someone was calling my name, repeatedly.

--

I sat right up and gasped, Derek was in my room. What the hell?

"Moring sunshine." Derek had a bag and a cup of some sort of hot beverage in his hand

"Aww is that for me?" I cooed

"Yup, I got you hot tea for the baby don't worry I asked the lady behind the counter before I bought her and asked her what is safe for pregnant mothers? She said the herbal mix was the best, gives the baby the nutrients it needs."

God, he sounded like one of those health professionals…

"Wait, how did you get in?"

"Taylor, it's like eight am your mother was leaving for work and I pulled up told her I was Derek, and she ran over and gave me this huge hug, a bigger hug than you give me one of you happy days. Now I know where it comes from."

I laughed and grabbed the bag out of Derek's hand, looked inside and saw my favorite donut. Chocolate with colored sprinkles, I grabbed the donut, broke it into pieces and ate a few pieces and then offered some to Derek.

"You didn't finish your story." I said chewing the donut

"Right, anyway your mom said that I was a great guy and that she's glad that you found me and if it's not too much to ask if it's alright for me to stay close to you." Derek said while elbowing me gently in my side

I smiled and looked at Derek and threw my arms around his neck hugging him. Derek somehow hugged me back then pulled back and kissed my lips. Then before I could register what happened, Derek pulled back and hugged me again.

"Sorry, I wanted to see what it was like."

"What was what like? I thought you were gay, no offense of course."

Derek looked at me and laughed, he laughed continuously for a few minutes until he stopped and looked at me.

"Brittany told you that huh?"

"Yeah, on my first day."

"Brittany tells that to every girl that's interested in me. Taylor I'm not going to lie, I find you attractive but…"Derek stalled

"But? What?"

"You belong with Chad."

"Chad? What?"

"Taylor, you can't say that you don't love him because you know you do. Of course he did the most stupid thing, but so what that's the day in the life of a boy."

Something stupid? What did Derek know that I didn't?

"Chad did something stupid? You're talking about getting Naomi pregnant right?"

Derek didn't answer, instead he got up pulled back my covers, picked me up and put me in the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

"Der-ek!"

"Shower Taylor, We are meeting everyone in half an hour I'm going to go and pick everyone up and then come back for you alright?"

I sighed in defeat and answered 'whatever' and jumped in the shower and started my day. When I got out of the shower, I just let my hair stay wavy, and put gel in it to keep the waviness and curls in for the day, then slipped on some jean capri's, and a flow top, which was purple with black checkered boxes. And for my feet I put on purple shiny flats, with a purple anklet and walked downstairs with my warm tea, my phone and house keys. I sat down on the porch to wait when I noticed a mini-van pull up along the curb, is that Derek's car? Then on the passenger's side the window rolled down and my mouth dropped open, sitting there was none other than Chad Danforth.

"Hi Tay." Chad said ouch about something, "I mean Taylor."

I sighed and walked over to the mini-van and peered inside the window, inside was all of my ex East High friends, and driving of course was none other than Derek himself.

"Where is everyone else?" I asked

"Out, they had plans." Derek replied

What. The. French? Derek set me up? Oh he was so going to get it.

The side door opened and Gabriella patted the stop next to her, I thought for a minute get in the overcrowded mini-van or run back inside? I could get back inside but then they would probably never leave and Derek was the master at unlocking homes I'm sure, so I climbed in the stupid mini-van and closed the door behind me.

There you go a longer chapter. I think it was pretty stupid but I had to get another connecting chapter in there, I didn't think you all could live without Taylor's mom if she kicked Taylor out about being pregnant, so I let her not be a complete witch (And yes I do mean the B word). And If Taylor would have run away then it would have taken forever to, never mind I'm giving too much away. You all didn't see the gang coming back huh? They aren't going way that easily, I promise you. Yes I couldn't help it, Derek isn't gay, and yes you got a confession out of him, isn't he just dreamy? Next is the East High and the outcast reunite! XD that would be the title for the next chapter, and yes Taylor will finally get her ever deserved explanation. One review pretty please with extra sappy words on top?
