Chapter 8 "Fighting, fighting and more fighting."

Gabriella pulled away from Sonny and ran out of the school, Taylor following behind her. This has to be the most embarrassing moment for Gabriella. She had no idea why she kissed Sonny in front of everyone. The obvious reason would be that she kissed him to make Troy jealous. Maybe that was the reason, but it wasn't the only one. Maybe Gabriella kissed Sonny because she wanted to see if there were any sparks, any fireworks that would develop inside of her. She wanted to feel like she was in herown little world, when she was kissing Sonny. She wanted to open her eyes and look at him as ifthis was the best thing she ever experienced. She wantedto be able to tell herself that 'this feels right'. The truth was, she felt nothing.

"Gabriella wait up!" Taylor shouted running after Gabriella.

"Go away Taylor! Don't you have better things to do, like hang around with your boyfriend?" Gabriella bawled back.

"I would if I had a boyfriend." Taylor said quietly, but Gabriella heard every word.

"What?" Gabriella asked turning around to face her best friend.

"Chad broke up with me." Taylor said, tearing up again.

"Taylor I'm so sorry I didn't know. Why did he break up with you?" Gabriella said; her eyes filled with sympathy.

"He said I don't meet his needs." Gabriella gave her friend a warming hug. Portentous that she's here for her.

"Taylor he's a jerk. You're everything a guy wants. You don't need Chad." Gabriella said looking at Taylor straight at her eyes.

"Thanks Gabriella, for everything. You're a great friend." Taylor said, feeling a little better.

"Hey what are friends for?" Gabriella asked.

"Ok now that were done with my problem, let's go to yours. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING KISSING SONNY?" Taylor screamed, remembering why she followed Gabriella in the first place.

"I saw Troy kissing Ashley, so I don't know. I freaked out and kissed Sonny."

"Which is why I want to know why Troy was kissing Ashley? Gross! Does he even know where her mouth has been in?" Taylor asked disgusted.

"He likes Ashley, so let's just drop the subject please!" Gabriella said, not wanting to think about this anymore.

"Okay, Gabriella. How about this; since me and you are bumped out today, you can sleep over my house and will eat lots of ice cream and watch corny movies. How does that sound?" Taylor asked.

"It sounds like a good idea." Gabriella replied.

"Well of course, when are my ideas not a good one?" Taylor said in a 'duh' tone voice.

"Taylor, can I talk to you for two minutes alone?" Sharpay said, appearing out of no where with Kelsi right behind her.

"Uh…. Yeah sure. Gabriella, I'll be right back." Taylor said walking a few inches away from Gabriella.

"Did you see the make out session today in the hallways?" Sharpay asked, lowering her voice so Gabriella couldn't hear.

"Yes I did." Taylor simply said.

"Okay so what are we going to do? There is no way Troy and Gabriella are going to get together if there in this situation."

"I don't know what to do. Why are you asking me?" Taylor asked.

"Well this is your fault." Sharpay said.

"My fault! Are you crazy, how is this my fault?"

"You're the one that told Gabriella to be with Sonny. HELLO! Don't you remember?" Sharpay said, knocking her fist on her head.

"Look, everything will work out. Okay? Just leave Gabriella's and Troy's problems alone." Taylor said.

"So you make a mistake and you don't even bother tofix it?" Kelsi butted in.

"Sharpay, Kelsi, I said if none of my plans don't work, then will let nature take it's place."

"I can't believe I even considered any of your plans. Your stupid do you know that?" Sharpay said.

"Your calling my stupid? I AM A 4.0 STUDENT YOU RETARD." Taylor yelled at her 'so called friend'.

"Don't call me a retard. After all, I am Sharpay you know!" Sharpay snapped back.

"Oh I'm sorry, everyone bow down to the ice queen. I don't even know why I became friends with DRAMA FREAKS". Taylor said,referringto Sharpay and Kelsi.

I don't know why I became friends with a NERD!" Kelsi and Sharpay shouted back.

"Well then I guess were not friends." Taylor said turning around to walk away.

"Yeah... I guess were not". Sharpay whispered to herself; turning the other way. Kelsi staying close behind her.

"What was that all about?" Gabriella asked confused.

"Looks like were not friends with them anymore. They don't want to hang out with us 'geeks' anymore." Taylor sadly said.

"Taylor what is going on here? Were both fighting with Troy and Chad. Now Sharpay and Kelsi?" Gabriella said.

"Gabriella maybe we weren't meant to be friends with them. We all have our different clicks. Troy, Chad, Jason and Zeke are the jocks. Sharpay, Ryan and Kelsi are the drama kids. You and I are the geeks. It's where we all belong. We should have never hung out with them in the first place." Taylor said, not knowing if what she was saying was true.

"I guess your right Tay." Gabriella said, giving her a weak smile. Both of them thinking the same thing 'Atleast we have each other'.

Sharpay was walking home, when she bumped into Zeke.

"Hey Sharapy!" Zeke said.

"Hi Zeke." Sharpay said; not being her usual self. Zeke noticed this.

"What's wrong Sharapy?"

"Nothing is wrong. Really! Hey do you want to hang out today?"

"I'm sorry Shar, I can't. I have baking class. How about tomorrow?" Zeke asked hopefully.

"Tomorrow I have vocal lessons." Sharpay said.

"Is singing all you care about? I mean we don't even get to spend time with each other because your always singing." Zeke said angirly.

"Excuse me? I only think about singing? What about you? You always have to bake." Sharpay said.

"Baking is very important. FOOD IS WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE". Zeke shouted.

"DON'T YOU DARE YELL AT ME. Plus singing is important too. Without music you could die." Sharpay said, surprised that Zeke even had a temper.

"YOU'RE YELLING AT ME TOO!" How the hell could you die without music?"

"Without music you'll get bored. People die out of boredom you know!"

"Sharpay shut up!" Was all Zeke could think of to say.

"I can't believe I even went out with you. Were so over." Sharpay said, while stomping on Zeke's foot and running away.

"OW THAT HURT. YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM MY LAWYER." Zeke bellowed, touching his hurt foot.

Sonny was watching everything in the bushes. "Three couples down. One more to go". Sonny said, walking away.

A/N: Thank you sooooooo much for the wonderful reviews from the previous chapter. All I have to say is R&R! Oh and I'm thinking of doing a one-shot, but I have no idea what to write about. Any ideas?
