What really happens in High School

by HeArTxbRoKeNxCB Lover xD

What does one do when everything becomes what one asked for? "Then what kind of trust would you have had for me then?" it was…Chad. But what does one do when things tumble out of hand? "Taylor, I can't continue to be with you anymore." What can YOU really do? Only thing you can do is fight for what is yours, but what if it isn't yours to begin with? Chaylor. Rated T.

21. Surprise!

Well I don't think the last chapter went over too well, I didn't get as much feedback as I wanted but I still got my two reviews so I can't complain. Alright so since I only had the two responses and both of the reviewers pick the other person so, it's only far to do one first then the other later on so that's what we'll do. And I only got one person that actually gave me a month for the baby to be born so don't forget to say the month that you want the baby to be born. Other than that not much to say that the story will probably be over pretty soon, as I'm sure that I've said before I thank you all for getting me way and beyond the amount of reviews and giving me such positive feedback on this story. Now I don't know if I'll do another sequel to this story but it'll all be up to you all if I do another story so start thinking about that and leave your review.

Disclaimer:

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!

I rolled over, well turned my upper body toward Chad. "Chad answer the phone." I replied sleepily

"But I got it the last time." Chad whined

"I don't care, it's your phone answer it before I break it."

Chad turned on the bedside lamp and let out a sigh, "Hello?"

"What Shar?"

"Why can't Zeke get it for you?"

"Very flattering, but Shar it's too early can't I get it to you and Gabi in a few hours?"

I giggled; I guess Chad answered that question wrong because I could hear Sharpay screaming into Chad's phone.

"Alright, alright I'll go but you guys better answer the door when I ring the bell the first time. I don't like getting cussed out by your parents because of it being so early in the morning."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love you too." Chad hung up

I turned around and snuggled into Chad's naked chest, who responded with wrapping his arms around me and letting out a sigh. "What's up with Shar and Gabi?" I muffled into Chad's chest

"Time of the month, Zeke and Troy won't go out and get their "products" and they remembered when I went for you a couple times, without a complaint from my behalf. And they want me to go out and get their products Now."

Chad climbed out of the bed that we now shared, and kissed my forehead and sleepily made his way to the bathroom to shower. Today he was officially turning eighteen. Chad had always been a little bit older than the rest of our class, and with him only being a Junior it made things a little bit you know, awkward. I laid in the bed for a few more minutes until I heard the shower squeak off and knew I had to get to the kitchen to at least make Chad some toast. As I waddled to the kitchen I opened up the blinds and windows along the way, so the morning "fresh air" dew could linger in the house until later on tonight. I popped two strawberry pop tarts in the toaster and leaned up against the refrigerator pouring Chad and myself some orange juice. To Chad we all had to "pretend" that today wasn't his eighteenth birthday, and it was hard for me not to scream out, happy birthday Chad and not run out to the laundry room and get Chad his gift I didn't know how I would be able to go the rest of the day. Sharpay and Gabi were going to help me out by having Chad run useless errands for them until later on tonight when his surprise birthday party was. The errands we not exactly useless, but they weren't as important right now as they made them seem. When Chad left, Zeke and Troy and Ryan would be over to help me set-up and then my mom and dad and then Chad's dad would come over to help until the guests started to arrive. I had just consumed my Orange juice when Chad circled his arms around my waist.

"Hey baby, do you know what today is?"

"Nu huh." I thought for a moment. "Was I supposed to have an appointment?"

Chad sighed and brushed his lips against my neck. "It's okay, it wasn't important anyway."

Grimacing, I turned my back to Chad. Hiding the deep frown that I now wore, and inhaled stale air. Today was going to be hard, but completely worth it when Chad walked in through the door completely shocked. Chad snatched up the hot pop tarts and called out a defeated goodbye. I wobbled to the window and gazed as Chad drove down the road, his gleaming tail lights being the last thing I saw. Not even a few seconds, the phone rang. Chad and I had set it to ring for a few more rings, hinting that I was a bit slower than normal and would take me a minute or so to answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey Tay, did he leave yet?"

"Uh huh."

"Good, good."

"Although he was a little bit…down because he actually believed that I forgot what today is."

Sighing, I could hear Gabriella shake her head. "Don't worry Tay, deep down Chad knows you didn't forget. I mean how could you even think about forgetting?"

"Your right Gabriella. The boys on their way?"

"Uh huh, they should be there…in, five, four, three, two, one."

On cue the doorbell rang. Staying on the line with Gabriella I opened the door to find my other best friends, Troy, Zeke, Ryan and Derek standing on the door step with dazzling, delicate gorgeous wrapped presents. Hanging up on Gabi, I let the boys in who quickly set down the gifts and ran back out to the car to retrieve party things. Streamers, balloons, and everything else that would be needed.

Derek, being my new step brother greeted me with a death grip of a hug. "Taylor! I missed you so much, why haven't you been answering my calls? And texts?"

Ryan, who was walking by placed a hand on Derek's shoulder. "Face it man, she's been planning this surprise party for months now. Taylor here loves to get caught up in her work even meaning shutting herself in her own world. It's a surprise that Chad doesn't know about it."

Giving Ryan a fierce glare, Ryan scampered away to set up tables outside and to help the other boys with party decorations. After a quick little run down on what was going on, I explained to Derek how the party was going to go. At exactly eight p.m. the girls would send me a coded text message, telling me that secret code that they were on their way and to hurry up with setting up the party, if I wasn't done setting up and to alert the guests that the birthday boy was on his way. Then I would "silence" the outside party and turn off the outside light and go inside and act as if nothing exciting was going on. Then I would lead Chad outside, to the party and the party guests would of course yell out 'happy birthday' and of course, Chad would be excited.

Grinning, Derek gave his input on how cheesy the idea was but after a swift hit on his shoulder Derek instantaneously quieted. While the boys were cutting the back grass, setting up tables and putting up streamers I was briskly working in the kitchen, making food and a lot of it. Cakes, cupcakes everything sweet, bittersweet, sour and edible.

"TAYLOR!!"

Spinning around, Ryan was waving franticly at me. Wobbling to him as fast I could, Ryan led me outside to show me their finished work. Gasping, I took in everything. Gold broad streamers were in ridged swirls, whilst glittering gold streamers hung loosely but merged with the plain streamers. Balloons, swaying in the light breeze. Each balloon held writing on it, 'happy birthday' while gold glittering ones had 'happy birthday Danforth'. And the tables, a few were littering along the back side of the condo. Those were where I would place the food, and two is was for gifts to be placed.

"Guys, this is…probably you're best work."

Scoffs were heard from all around the backyard. "What? Usually someone has to stand out here with you animals and direct. You guys did it all by yourself, maybe that male gene is kicking in." I said ruffling Derek's hair

Patting all the guys on the back, I lead them into the kitchen to where ice cold lemonade and a plate of fresh baked cookies awaited them.

--

"Oooh! Everyone, he's on his way." I held up my arms above my head, waving my arms.

I waddled up to the DJ's booth and grabbed the microphone. "Okay everyone, just like we practiced." I motioned to Derek who turned off the outside light. And I looked at the DJ, who was Zeke who played cricket noises and other backyard bug noises while Troy helped me down and off of the DJ's table. I gave Zeke back the microphone and made my way inside.

"Remember everyone, no talking or whispering." And I made my way back into the house.

Troy, Zeke, Ryan and Derek made their way in behind me, since to Chad when he called a few hours back were keeping me "company" helped me lounge on the couch. While the boys were sitting around, Ryan, Looking at a pregnancy magazine. Zeke was in the in the only chair, messing with his phone. And Derek and Troy had a game of cards going.

The front door swung open. "No! I've been running around with you two all damn day long."

"But Chad! We-"

"Nope don't wanna hear it." Chad walked into the living room and noticed me, deeply in grossed with the boys game came over and hugged me to his side."Hey Taylor."

I kissed Chad's cheek and continued to look at the boy's game. "Hey Chad, have fun with the girlies?" I looked up and winked at the girls who silently walked to the kitchen.

"Gosh darn it!" Derek threw down his cards

Troy grinned from ear to ear and stood up as well. It was time for me to wink at the guys and give Chad a long and passionate kiss, while everyone else cleared out. I of course wasn't faking it, I had missed Chad and this was the time that I would use to make up for lost time. I had been craving Chad's lips for a while, usually since school was out for summer Chad and I spent every day together. Some days in bed, wrapped up in each other arms listening to the radio. Other days we would be out and about, running errands, and just spending the day together while still being active. To be honest today was the first day that we spent away from one another and Chad hungered for my lips as did I for his.

Pulling back first I wrapped my arms around Chad's neck, looking behind him. "Oh Chad, I missed you."

Laughing, Chad kissed my hair. "As did I Taylor. You know I think you should look for new friends. Because the ones you have are pure evil."

Laughing, I hit Chad across his shoulders. Laughing I push Chad off of me and slowly stand up, with Chad's help. Pulling on Chad I waddle to the outside doors, then I pushed Chad in front of me. Standing on my tippy toes I cover Chad's eyes.

"Babe? Why are you covering my eyes?"

"You'll see now, bend down a bit your too tall and you might see."

"Ooh see? Will I like it?"

Sighing I slowly push Chad toward the opened door, I'd have to thank the guys later and proceed to walk Chad slowly to the darkened backyard. I uncovered his eyes, luckily for me, or the rest of the park it was completely dark so only Chad could see things up close. Grabbing both of Chad's hands I look up to meet his dull brown eyes.

"Chad? Do you know what today is?"

"Umm, yeah?"

"Really? What is it?"

"My birthday…?"

"No it isn't, tomorrow is."

"Babe today is the twenty-first."

Growling I slip one of my hands out of Chad's warm hand, slapping my forehead. "Are you kidding me? I honestly thought that tomorrow was the day."

Chad patted my other hand, rubbing soothing circles. "It's okay Taylor; I just wanted you to at least remember what today was."

Sighing again, I turn away from Chad. "Well the least I can do is sing you happy birthday and make it up to you tomorrow by throwing you a big party."

"Taylor you don't have to as long as I have you, I don't need a big fancy party."

Ignoring Chad I breath in deep and clear my throat. "Alright I'll start on the count of three."

"One…two…"

"Taylor why are you…"

"Three!"

The lights flicked on and everyone began to sing 'happy birthday'. Troy, Ryan, Zeke, Gabriella, Sharpay and Derek came up through the crowd and sang, assembling a line formation. I stood along with the crowd, in between Gabriella and Derek singing as loudly as I could and as strongly as I could. Someone had to have the better voice among the off-key singers.

"Happy Birthday to you!" Everyone clapped and Chad's smile only grew wider.

Zeke ran up to the DJ booth and began playing music, while everyone came up to Chad giving him birthday wishes and congratulating him on turning eighteen. While Chad was going through the batter of the small crowd, Gabriella and Sharpay led me over to the makeshift dance floor and had me to start dancing.

"Guys," I moaned. "You guys know I'm too fat to be out here dancing with you guys."

Sharpay spun and grabbed my hands, making me move my body. "No you aren't Taylor, remember at Homecoming freshman year?"

Reflecting back, Gabriella began dancing behind me cheering and waving her hands in a bizarre Latin way. The only thing that Gabi had going good for her was that, she had a "smoking body" and often times Troy was slow dancing with her so no one really knew her "wild side." Beaming, I decided to give in to the party. Besides I planned it, and I saw the fun that everyone was having and I couldn't take it anymore and began to let go. Enveloped, Chad had appeared behind me and was dancing close to me gently and moderately brushing his lips to the nape of my neck. I wrapped a hand behind Chad's neck, awarding Chad with a butterfly kiss on his jaw.

"Did you honestly think that I would forget your birthday? Let alone your eighteenth birthday?" I screamed over the music

"Sort of. I mean this morning when I asked you…."

"Oh Chad, I had this party planned since forever." Beaming I poked Chad's nose lightly

Chad who was grinning like a fool now, leaned down and kissed me for a brief moment. Then pulled back and continued to dance. After a few more songs, we did a dance line. I of course just waddled down the line within the beat, with Chad behind me dancing. Then with the help of my mom we brought out the lit cake and sang happy birthday. Just as Chad was about to cut the cake, a low voice rang out.

"Happy birthday to you…."

Turning around, the commotion stopped and everyone turned around. Creating a seep hole, everyone moved out of the way looking at the person suddenly singing a pretty soulful happy birthday. Peeking above a few heads, my hand flew to my mouth and a gasp rang out. Chad's mom came?!

"Happy birthday to you."

Clapping, Chad looked at his mother with a shocked expression and looked at his mom as if she wasn't really there. Chad's mom held a look on her face, hurtful, regret? And held out a small wrapped gift. Then Chad looked at me, wondering if I really did invite her or if she was "crashing" the party. Nodding swiftly, I grabbed the knife out of Chad's hand and gently pushed him to his mom. Chad wrapped his mom into a hug, but this hug wasn't like most of other loving hugs. It was a cold hug, as if only doing this to not make her seem like an outcast, and to not be frowned upon. Grabbing the gift out of her hand and placing it on the table full of gifts then leading his mom away from the crowd. With the help of my mom, I swiftly cut pieces of my homemade cake onto plates while my mom passed out cake and ice cream. Once the rush had died down, Chad had come back and I had given him two plates, one for him and one for his mom. Although Chad gave back one of the plates to me and held his hand out, which I took without another thought and walked around the table to Chad who pulled me to his side and kissed my forehead with a wide smile.

"Okay people, everyone gather around the gift table. Birthday boy here," I pointed to Chad. "Is going to open his gifts."

Excited murmuring began and everyone moved to the gift table, Troy pulled up a chair for Chad to sit down when the standing became to be unbearable. Chad slowly made his way through his gifts, thanking and hugging the person who gave Chad the gift. Finally it came down to mine, which I was nervous for. Everyone else's was more of an object or something he really wanted, mine was more of a…seeing thing.

"Ooh, Taylor's gift."

Looking down at my bump of a belly, Chad ripped open my gift. Hearing gasps, I figured my gift was worse than I had imagined and I began to feel my cheeks warm up.

"Oh, Taylor."

Looking up, Chad had a tear in his eye. I had gotten a collage of pictures ranging from our first day in the sandbox, to the after party sophomore year. Most of them, I had gotten them professionally made to be in black and white. Chad looked over at me with a smile and eyes glistening with moisture and took me into his arms. Kissing my cheek, I move away from Chad and follow behind Zeke and Troy. Reaching out to caress Chad's chin I look deep into his eyes, "Don't think that's the only gift that I'm giving you, you Chad get two gifts." That had everyone's attention; Troy and Ryan moved two fake bushes and revealed a covered object. Pulling the sheet off with a snap, gasps were heard.

"Oh my god, Taylor you got me a Piano? But I don't know how to play piano." Chad whined

Shaking my head I pull back the bench. "Neither do I but I had Kelsi and Ryan help me with this." I winked at Ryan and Kelsi who slapped five and hugged.

Laughing I test out the keys. "Keep in mind, I really can't sing so please excuse the off key ranges."

Love of my life, my soul mate
you're my best friend
Part of me like breathing
now half of me is left

Remembering the keys and the posture that Kelsi and Ryan taught me I sat up a bit straighter and took more breaths into my lungs and my diaphragm.

I don't know anything at all
Who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you need me

Color me blue I'm lost in you
Don't know why I'm still waiting
Many moons have come and gone
Don't know why I'm still searching

Chad had sat down next to me, facing me with pure joy on his face. I couldn't face him, not now. I had to concentrate and not make giggly eyes at Chad. My mom was here as well as his, I couldn't have bad blood when today was Chad's day.

Don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you need me

Hmmm hmmm mmm
Uhhh ohhh aahhh
Hooo aahhh ohh ohhh

Now you're a song I love to sing
Never thought it'd feel so free
Now I know what's meant to be
And that's okay with me

But who am I to say you love me
And who am I to say you need me
And who am I to say you love me

Mmmm Hmmm

I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
And who am I to say you need me
I don't know anything at all

I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all
I don't know anything at all

I heard cheers when I hit the last key, and to be smuggled into Chad's chest. He kissed my forehead, the top of my head and my hair. Then the music flared up again and Chad brought me to my feet and onto the dance floor. We spun around, and swayed close. Well as close as I could with a large bump keeping us apart. Later on that night, when I was laying on my half of the bed and Chad on his I felt this, attraction getting stronger between the two of us. I laid awake and watched Chad sleep; you would have thought that between the two of us I would have been the first asleep but I just could not fall asleep. It was then I realized that I was so used to being in Chad's arms or having him close to me that it had become a second blanket, and it was hard to break free from it. I turned over and snuggled into Chad's arms, I didn't expect him to wrap his arms around me because he had been sleep for almost over an hour but I felt his hands snake about my upper midsection and kiss my temple and I jerked upwards, feeling a jolt of electricity run through me.

"Tay? Are you feeling alright?"

Nodding my head, I gently lay my head on Chad's naked shoulder. "I never realized how much of an impact you have on my sleeping habits."

"Why do you say that?" Chad kissed my temple again.

"Well I've noticed that if I'm far away from you but close by it feels like…I'm being pulled by a magnet. And when you finally touch me or I get close to you the pulling is subsided. And a moment ago when you touched me I got this shock."

Chad groaned and placed his forehead against mine and kissed my lips for a brief moment before snuggling into me and settling down.

"Taylor, I get it too. I thought it was just me. Maybe it's what the old farts call true love."

Giggling I snuggle into Chad's arms and yawn loudly.

"Seems as if you weren't kidding about the whole "magnet thing". Rubbing my arms Chad laid his cheek over my forehead and began to steady his breathing.

"Night Chad, I hope you had great day and birthday."

"I did, I love your gift more than anything. Both of the gifts, Sleep well my Angels."

Closing my eyes I murmur a gentle 'I love you', and before I drifted off I heard 'I love you too, more than you'll ever know.' I beamed and let myself fall.

Gosh that took me FOREVER to write. I seemed to be getting one of those writer blocks but I had everything in mind, I also was trying to improve, to make the story more…pop able. I don't know, anyway I would have had it up a long time ago; hincing is why no one is on the reviewer spotlight. I mean I thank you all for reviewing but I'm tired and I feel that this chapter was a failure in the making to be honest so now reviews just one hit is all I'm asking. Umm…oh! The sophomore thingy, well in the movie, it was toward the end of their junior year but in my mind I thought it would be better if it was their sophomore year. I guess that's about it. Thanks guys once again! Dates, don't forget to choose a month and date please!
