Okay, here are the guy's POVs. I hope you enjoy this chapter! Thanks to all you guys who are reviewing so consistently! And even if you aren't thanks anyway!
Chad shot the ball and missed- again. He couldn't help it- thoughts of Taylor were clouding his concentration. He couldn't believe that she'd kissed him! And that he'd kissed her back! He absentmindedly shot the ball again. This time his missed- horribly! The ball flew over his fence. He hopped the fence. To his dismay, the girl next door was there. He smiled weakly and picked up the ball. After that, he jumped the fence again, but she still made a point of coming up to him.
"Hi Chad! It's so great to see you! I'm so sorry I missed you yesterday! And then, when I was looking for you today, you weren't there! Where you, Chaddy?" she gushed. Chad forced a smile, trying to keep his stomach were it belonged- out of his throat. She was annoying. Okay, she was extremely annoying!
"Hi Camille. I was busy yesterday. As for today, I had…" he broke off, unsure whether or not he wanted to tell her about Taylor.
"You had what? Basketball practice?"
"Yeah. So, how've you been?" he asked, trying to sound interested.
"Great. I just wanted to say hi! I should go- Bryan, my boyfriend, is waiting. But I told him that I just had to say hi to dear old Chad! So I'll see you later, sweetie!" She waved plastically, then skipped off like an excited third grader. Chad shook his head.
Taylor had been so beautiful. He himself had taught her how to bowl. And he'd caught her when she was falling. And for that, he'd gotten a kiss. That was great! He prayed the relationship would last forever. Smiling, he headed towards the house to call Taylor. Kissing her goodbye on the cheek hadn't been enough to show how he felt. He picked up his pace. He couldn't wait!
Troy flipped on his radio and began to stretch. His dad wanted him to practice for an hour every day and apparently, this day wasn't any excuse. He thought of Sharpay and immediately, his face brightened. He blushed, which was something he never did, when he remembered them rolling on the floor, literally, tickling each other. He knew that Chad had seen them, and he was pretty sure that Ryan had too. Even so, that had been the best date that he'd ever been on!
"C'mon Troy! There is no time for daydreaming! Just because you spent some time with that girl, Shirley doesn't give you an excuse to slack off!"
"Dad! Her name is Sharpay! Not Shirley! And I wasn't daydreaming, I was stretching!" Jack Bolton raised an unbelieving eyebrow and smirked.
"Sure you weren't, Troy. Listen, if this girl gets in between you and basketball, I suggest that you dump her- now! Because I can't risk my best player being distracted. Got it?" Troy nodded meekly. With that, Jack walked off, obviously upset. Troy couldn't blame him. He had been preoccupied with Sharpay lately. If he wasn't on the phone or IM with her, they were doing homework. At least, that had been how it'd been the past few weeks. Reprimanding himself, he tried as hard as he could to focus on his basketball. Sharpay would have to wait.
About half way through the practice, he found the problem with that preposition. If he ignored Sharpay, their relationship would be like his with Gabriella- nonexistent. That was what broke up him and Gabby. He'd been so into basketball that he'd just ignored her. And look where it got him- nowhere! Deciding he wouldn't hurt Shar like that, he dropped the ball and went to call and invite her over. They could at least play basketball together, right?
Ryan tapped his pencil and then chewed on the end of it thoughtfully. He loved to sketch so much! He was currently starting to sketch the bowling date. Particularly the kiss. However, his brain seemed to be frozen. Reliving that moment, he reached up and touched his ear, where Gabby had pulled on his ear so roughly. He smiled at the memory. Who would have ever thought that he and Gabriella Montez would be a couple. Wait, they were a couple, right? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Okay, calm down, Ryan. You two are a couple. You kissed, remember! You are a couple, aren't you?
"What can you possibly be worried about now? Hmmm?" Sharpay frowned down at Ryan's concerned face. He jumped slightly, not expecting her to be there.
"Who said I was worried?" she gave him a skeptical glance that told him that she wasn't falling for the cover up.
"Ryan Andrew Evans! I've known you forever! I think I know when you are nervous about something!" Ryan slumped his shoulders.
"Okay, I confess. Gabriella and I are a couple right? I mean, we kissed, but does that make us a couple? I really don't know. I don't want to just be the pick up guy after Troy!" Sharpay's face took on a look of pained humor.
"You know, Chad and Troy were right! You really do need to get out more! Heck, you are like a whiny girl! Of course you two are a couple! She wouldn't have gone on a date with you and then kissed you if you weren't! Duh!" Ryan got a look of understanding on his face just as Sharpay's phone rang. She held up her finger to tell him to hold on. After talking for about ten minutes, she hung up.
"Okay, I'm going to hang with Troy. Chill, okay? If you are worried, then just call Gabby, okay? I'll see you later." She walked off. Ryan took her advice and then called Gabriella. He had to make sure that she was serious about him. He'd be able to draw a lot easier if he knew that their relationship was the real thing.
Okay, so what did you think? I hope you liked It! Please R&R!!! Gracias!
