Taylor walked up the stairs of East High.
"Taylor! Hey!" Gabriella said, running up to her from behind. Taylor jumped a little.
" Man, Gabi you scared me don't do that." She said while laughing. Her and Gabriella continued on their way up the stairs, when they entered the hallway everyone became silent and stared at them. Gabriella grabbed Taylor by the arm and pulled the length of the hallway, and into homeroom.
"Don't worry about them Tay, they are just being annoying. They'll get over you eventually." Gabriella said smiling at her friend.
The rest of the day for Taylor went jus how it had started. She would walk into rooms, and everyone would stop talking and stare at her. All during her classes everyone would stare and it would get to the point where the teacher would have to yell at the students to regain there attention. Taylor hated it, they all assumed she was an alcoholic. No one knew the real story except for Gabi, Chad, and Troy. Her friends tried to make it better for her, but none of them were experiencing what she was going through, so it was hard for them.
It was late and Taylor had almost finished her homework, she was in the school library and it was almost closing time. She was the only person remaining in the room and Miss Cleary the librarian was shooting her death stares to leave. Taylor quickly packed up her things and left the library. The School halls were deserted. Taylor made her was down the halls to the front where her mom would pick her up and six o clock sharp. She glanced at her watch, it was 5:30. 'Perfect timing' She thought to herself.
"Hey alcoholic" A voice said from behind her. Taylor turned around and looked at a boy who was tall with dark brown hair and very handsome.
"James?" Taylor asked quietly. "What are you doing here? I thought I lost you when I moved from Boston."
"Well I found you, didn't I." James said with a smile.
"It was you, you were the one who spiked the punch aren't you?" Taylor said.
"Wow you really are as smart as they say." James said. He grabbed her and pulled her into a closest.
"Stop it!" yelled Taylor. "Help" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Taylor kicked James hard in the groin. He fell to the ground, and she ran out of the closest as fast a possible. She didn't know if James was behind her or where he was. So she ran where she knew someone who could protect her would be. She ran to the gym.
When she got there basketball practice was still going on. Taylor sat in the stands, knowing Coach Boltons strict rules about practice, and knowing that her Chad time would have to wait until after basketball practice. Taylor sat their for what seemed like hours, until the team was dismissed. Chad came up the bleachers and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"What a pleasant surprise." He said. "I didn't expect to see you here." He said while a smile formed on his face.
"Yeah well I wasn't expecting to show up until about five minutes ago." Taylor said. The rest of the team started to clear out of the gym, Troy waved at the two as he left and they waved back.
"And can I ask what made you decide to come? Not that I am complaining in any way." Chad said he was still smiling. James burst open the doors, and came walking through the gym as if on cue. He walked right up to Taylor and Chad and leaned in real close and whispered in Taylor's ear, "Watch you back Tay." He left.
"What the hell was that about Taylor?" Chad asked. "Who is that guy? What was he doing here, if he comes any closer to you ill kick his ass." Taylor didn't know what to say, she had to tell Chad all about her and James history and she had to tell her story.
"Chad that was James, he was an old boyfriend I had when I lived in Boston."
