A/N: Here's the next chapter. I would have updated earlier, but the documents thing was being stupid! But thanks to Amanda (say.hey.a.dancer) who helped me get this chapter up :) I'll update The Hats Have Gone Up tomorrow, aswell as this one. Or later, seeing as it's currently 12.30am.
Gabriella groaned as she heard the alarm go off. Looking at the clock, she read the numbers '6:55'. Groaning and pulling her pillow over her head, she said to herself, "5 more minutes." Taylor hadn't heard the alarm - she was in some deep sleep..Not even moving. All Gabriella could hear from her was Taylor's quiet breathing.
5 minutes later, and the alarm went off again. Gabriella sat up and groaned - loud. She then remembered Taylor. Gabriella turned to look at her friend, and saw that she was still fast asleep. What does it take to wake this girl up? Gabriella thought. She bent down and poked Taylor in the shoulders, but nothing happened. She then began poking her in the cheeks. Nothing happened, except a slight stir. Gabriella sighed. "TAYLOR!" She shouted.
Gabriella laughed as Taylor jolted upright, a panic-stricken face. Taylor turned to look at Gabriella, and gave her a 'Why did you wake me up' look. Gabriella nudged her head towards the clock, and simply stated, "School."
The two girls got ready, and went downstairs to be greeted by Ms. Montez. They greeted Gabriella's mum in their normal fashion, and sat at the kitchen table where breakfast was being served. Once they'd finished eating, Gabriella looked at the clock and saw that it was time to leave. Ms. Montez said goodbye and let them go out the front door.
They hadn't gotten far from Gabriella's house, when Taylor started smiling to herself. Gabriella noticed this.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Huh? Oh, erm nothing." Taylor said, quickly removing the smile.
"Yeah right. Come on, tell me." Gabriella said.
"Ok. I had a dream last night." Taylor paused.
"Yeah, we all dream..Carry on."
Taylor groaned at Gabriella's sarcasticness, but carried on. "It was about me and Chad."
"Oohh..juicy." Gabriella laughed.
Taylor playfully hit Gabriella on the shoulder. "Anyways..We were umm..getting married."
Gabriella laughed. "How cute!"
Taylor shot Gabriella an evil glare, and Gabriella stopped laughing. That satisfied Taylor.
"No really, it seemed cute." Gabriella smiled. "Your first dream about your boyfriend."
"Actually it wasn't my first dream about Chad." Taylor said, quickly pointing her face to the floor in embarrasment.
Gabriella looked at Taylor. "Really? How many dreams have you had of Chad?"
"I don't know. I can only remember one more." Taylor looked at Gabriella, red in the face.
Gabriella nodded at her to continue. Taylor started to tell. Dream Flashback Taylor, Chad and Troy were in class. They were in grade 6, and Troy and Chad weren't the 'lunkhead basketball men' just yet. The three were close friends, along with Sharpay and Ryan. Taylor was sat next to Sharpay, Ryan sat in front with a friend of his, and Troy and Chad were sat behind Taylor and Sharpay. The class were talking while the teacher droned on and on. Sharpay and Taylor were happily chatting, when Taylor felt someone poke her in the head. She turned round, and Chad recieved a death glare. He tried to pin it on Troy, but Troy was currently in his own little world, and was gazing into space. Chad sighed as he noticed Taylor had caught him. But he then gave Taylor one of his cheesiest smiles. Taylor rolled her eyes, and turned back round. Seconds later, Chad poked Taylor in the head again. She was about to turn around and yell, but instead he gave her a piece of paper. Turning back to her desk, she unfolded it. It read: Meet me at the park at 4pm after school, Chad. Taylor was confused, but turned round and nodded in reply. Chad smiled. --------------------------------------- Taylor was at the park, swinging on a swing and was waiting for Chad. She'd been waiting for 5 minutes, and he still hadn't turned up. Just as she was about to jump off the swing, she felt heerself being pulled up. Taylor turned round, and there stood Chad. He flashed his cheesy smile again, and sat on the swing next to Taylor. The two had been talking for some time, and Taylor was confused. "Why did you want to meet me?" She asked. "Can't a guy want to spend time wih his best friend?" Taylor smiled. She'd known they were quite close, but didn't think he thought of her as a 'best friend'. Chad sighed - Taylor could tell he was bored. She looked over to him, and he got off the swing and stood in front of Taylor. She looked up at him confused, and was just about to say something when she was cut off by his lips on hers. End Dream Flashback
"Yeah."
"When was this?" Gabriella asked eagerly.
"I don't know. Like erm..grade 6 or something."
"You've known them all that long?" Taylor nodded. "And who was that erm..Sharpay person?"
"You didn't meet Sharpay in East High?" Gabriella shook her head. "Oh well she's the drama queen - or 'Ice Princess' as she's now called."
"Oh. I did see her. The first day I walked into homeroom with you - She was staring at me."
"Yeah, that's her alright." Taylor said.
"So what happened between you all?"
"Oh, ya know. People change." Gabriella nodded. "I wasn't all this clever before..In middle school you know. I suppose, when you change schools, you also change. About a week into East High, me, Troy, Chad, Sharpay and Ryan changed into different people. We met different people, and drifted apart. You're the one who brought me, Troy and Chad back together."
Gabriella smiled. She'd never known that Taylor had been good friends with them all before.
"So why 'lunkhead basketball men?'" Gabriella asked.
"I don't know. Well, because we stopped talking and stopped really noticing eachother, I had to find out a way to stop myself remembering that I'd actually been friends with them in the past. I guess a little name helped - a bit."
Gabriella nodded, and was about to say something, but was shushed but Taylor, and she noticed that they were near the school gates - with Troy and Chad walking up to them both. A/N: So yeah.I thought I'd put some Chaylor in - even if it was just a dream haha. It's now 1am, so I'll update again later, when I've woken up from my sleep lol.
