'Hey guys! I just tried out for the soccer team!' Nate shouted, running up to them.

The girls squealed and hugged him and Troy and Chad grinned. Nate had become one of the 'family' ever since that day two weeks ago.

'Yeah, they said I had talent!' he continued, proudly.

'Of course you have talent! Are you trying out for the basketball team too?' Taylor asked.

'Might as well, I'm not too sure about that one though' he replied.

'Wait, didn't you try out for the baseball team as well?' Gabriella asked.

'Yeah'

'Wow, you'll be busy if you get on all of them!' Sharpay exclaimed, wrapping her arms around Chad's waist.

'Good luck with that dude!' Chad said laughing.

'I'm sure you'll be fine' Taylor said, reassuring him.

'Course, actually, could I talk to you for a sec Tay?' he asked.

'Sure!' Taylor replied, following him.

'I wonder what they're talking about' Gabriella said sarcastically.

Sharpay and Troy laughed but Chad was just confused.

'What?' he asked, making them laugh harder.

'Oh come on Chad! They obviously like each other!' Gabriella stated.

'Sooo?' he said.

'Sooo, Nate's probably asking her out, hold up, I'll catch you later, I need to speak to Ryan' Sharpay said before running off.

Gabriella and Troy glanced at each other, they were both thinking the same thing.

'Chad, you don't still have feelings for Taylor do you?' Gabriella asked uncertainly.

Chad tried to act shocked at the idea but he didn't do it well.

'Ok, maybe a little bit and I know it's wrong!' he said, scuffing the floor with his shoe.

'Chad! What about Sharpay? You can't do that!' Gabriella shouted before Troy quietened her.

'I know! I said it was wrong didn't I!' Chad said back.

'Maybe you just need to figure out where your heart really lies, I mean, maybe you should give Shar a chance, seeing as you asked her, you just need to adjust to being a boyfriend, it takes time but deep inside, you know you love one more than the other' Troy said calmly.

Gabriella looked at her boyfriend admiringly, that's why she loved him.

'I know I know!' Chad said before walking off, muttering under his breath, 'only the one I love more isn't the right one'.

Troy sighed as he watched Chad walking away. He turned and looked down at his girlfriend who was staring at him.

'What?' he asked.

'Nothing, I just love you, that's all' she replied before kissing his cheek and walking to her next class.

'I love you too!' he called after her, making her blush as everyone else had heard it as well.

With Taylor and Nate

'So, what's up?' Taylor asked him.

'Well, I wanted to know if you were busy Friday night?' Nate asked nervously.

'Why, do you have homework you need help on? 'Cause if it's English you're better asking Gabi 'cause you know she better at this kind of stuff so you should-'

Taylor was cut off by Nate softly kissing her. She was startled and pulled away.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

'I thought you wouldn't mind! I like you Tay, really like you' Nate said.

Taylor couldn't help but think of Chad. Shouldn't she save herself in case Chad and Shar broke up? But she couldn't wait around all her life for someone she wasn't certain liked her.

'I like you too' she replied, smiling.

'Really? Well how about Friday? I'll pick you up at seven?'

'Great, I'll see you then!' Taylor said happily.

'Catch you later' Nate said, kissing her cheek.

As he walked off, a huge smile grew on her face. She walked to her next class, beaming, but unable to get rid off the thought of her and Chad out of her mind.
