Hey Everyone! It's me again. I know EVERYONE has been waiting for the babysitting date so here it is finally. I had big trouble trying to write it but I finally got something. Hope ya like it!
"All right guys, that's enough for today. I'll see you guys next week," Coach Bolton yelled to the team. The boys put the basketballs back in the crate and grabbed their stuff on the bleachers. Chad, Zeke, Troy and Jason were the last to leave the gym since they were talking.
"Finally the last practice of the week. I don't think I can take another sprint suicide this week," Jason said as they went to the front of the school.
"Me either. And if you guys remember, my dad is the coach so you know I'll still be practicing at my house," Troy replied.
"Yeah, I feel really sorry for you. How is Gabi gonna feel about this?" Zeke asked.
"I have no clue," Troy said, running his hand through his hair. "Speaking of girlfriends, when were you supposed to be over at Taylor's house, Chad?"
"6:30, why?" Chad asked.
"It's 6:24 right now. You know how far her house is from the school," Troy replied.
Chad smacked his head and ran to his car. "Catch yall later!" he yelled as he got into his car. Chad started up within seconds and drove off in a flash.
5 minutes later
Chad arrived in front of Taylor's house and parked his car in front of her house. He grabbed a towel from his gym bag and wiped off the sweat from his face and neck. He put on some deodorant on his underarms and messed with his hair a bit. Winking at himself in the rearview mirror, he grabbed his bag and set off for Taylor's front door. Chad rang the doorbell and even before the doorbell went off, the door was opened by Taylor's little sister, Briana.
"Hello again! Are you helping my sister baby-sit me?" Briana asked.
"Yep that's me kiddo," Chad replied, "Where's your mom?"
"She left a few minutes ago," Briana said as Chad came inside.
"Oh ok. Where's your sister then?" Chad asked.
Briana smiled. She grabbed Chad's hand and led him upstairs to Taylor's room. Briana put her ear to the door as Chad looked at her weirdly.
"She's in here," Briana replied, pointing at the door. Chad looked at Briana weirdly and opened the door quietly. Taylor was sitting up on her bed with an acoustic guitar in her lap. Taylor was wearing grey sweat pants and a grey sweatshirt that looked big on her. Her hair was in a cute low ponytail with strands of her hair on the side of her face Tons of papers were in front of her and she was playing softly on her guitar as she sang from the papers.
You don't know my name
You don't know anything about me
I tried to play nice
I want to be in your
game You don't know how it feels
The things that you say
You may think I never hear about
them
But word travels fast
I'm telling you to your face
I'm
standing here behind your back
To
be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left
out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend
on the outside looking in
Chad got more interested and loved hearing Taylor's voice. He snuck in silently and sat quietly in one of Taylor's bean bags and listened on as Taylor continued singing.
If you could read my
mind You don't know how it feels Well, I'm tired of staying at home
You might see more of me that meets the eye
And you've
been all wrong
Not who you think I am
You've never given me a
chance
To be outside the
crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you
don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside
looking in
I'm bored and
alone
I'm sick of wasting all my time
Taylor sighed as she played the last chord on her guitar. She put her hands up to her face and laid her head on the top of her guitar.
"Don't stop. It was good so far," Chad interrupted. Taylor looked up to see Chad on her bean bags. She laid her guitar aside and tried to straighten up her bed.
"What are you doing here? How did you get in here?" Taylor asked.
"Well for 1. You asked me here to help baby-sit Briana and 2. Briana brought me in here. You sing really well," Chad replied.
Taylor pulled the strands of her hair behind her ear as she blushed. "Thanks, no one outside this house ever heard me sing," she replied.
"But what about the after-party?" Chad asked as he sat next to Taylor on her bed, "Sharpay told me you sang there."
"She was lying so you can sing," Taylor said.
"Oh…," Chad started.
"Yeah." Taylor said quietly.
"But I know for one thing, you have a beautiful voice, just like Gabriella's," Chad replied as he lifted Taylor's chin up to him, "No even better than Gabriella. And you can play guitar. That's what I call talent."
"Not really. It's just a hobby of mine, nothing big," Taylor replied.
"No seriously. Look, try out for the amateur night Friday night. The crowd will love you," Chad pleaded.
"No way. I can't perform in front of a crowd, let alone sing," Taylor said.
"Can you try…for me…please," Chad asked.
"Oh alright. But only if you come with me," Taylor replied.
"Don't worry, Taylor," Chad said as he kissed her on the cheek, "I'll always be there for you."
They leaned in to kiss when suddenly Briana swung the door open.
"Hey! You're not supposed to be making lovey-dovey eyes in here. You have to baby-sit ME!" Briana interrupted.
"We are. We'll be down in a second," Taylor replied.
"You have 20 seconds to come downstairs. 19……18……17….," Briana started as she left the room.
"Well, you know we can't stay up here too long. Let's go downstairs and get this over with," Taylor said as she stretched when she got off her bed.
"I know. Where did you get this guitar anyways?" Chad asked.
"My mom got it last year for my birthday," Taylor replied.
"8….7…..6…5..." Briana continued.
"Let's go before she gets to the last 3 numbers," Taylor said.
"I'm coming," Chad replied. They both left the room so fast that a small wind blew when they raced out of the room. That small wind blew some of the papers that were on Taylor's bed and revealed a picture of Chad and Taylor in the third grade smiling with a red heart around Chad's face. At the bottom of the picture it said 'CD & TM: Friends Forever'.
It was their last picture together before Chad got involved in basketball and forgot about Taylor. And that's where the geek teasing started between Chad and Taylor until now.
Well, that's the best I can do for now. I gave you guys a little background info about Chad and Taylor's past. There will be more to come of the background info soon. Right now, I gotta go to bed, which is why the babysitting date will be 2 parts. Not how I wanted it to be, but hey. At least I tried and I can't waste anymore crazy stuff that will happen later in the date. But here's a preview to see what's happening next….
"TAYLOR! Did you get the cloth yet?" Briana yelled from downstairs
"There isn't anymore in the laundry room. Why did you put all the kitchen cloths in the linen closet," Taylor yelled back. She stormed out of the room and headed down the hall towards the bathroom.
"I forgot we had a place for them in the kitchen drawer," Briana replied.
Taylor rolled her eyes. "I can't believe you would do this. I thought you would at least remember where to put…" she mumbled as she entered the bathroom. Taylor stopped at the doorway and her eyes were wide opened.
"Oh…my….god…"
Well...what do you think that she saw? Only I know, so... REVIEW!
