AHHH! Sorry guys for the LONNNNNNNNG wait... but like i said, i'm working on pulling my grades up so i can graduate next year. Anyways, i've decided tosplit Chad&Taylor's date like i did Troy&Gabriella's.. Hope you guys like this!

When the guys were finished eating breakfast, Chad immediately ran upstairs to go get ready; he wanted to look good. Once he got out of the shower, he dried his hair, and put on some warm-ups. Just like Taylor, he had no idea that he was gonna ask her out that weekend until the other day, so he drove home to change as well. None of the other guys wanted to go because, well, they were guys, and they were lazy. They also knew that it would get annoying to watch Chad as if he looked okay or not, then jump into his closet, come out in a different outfit, and go through the same routine until he decides on his own to go with the first choice that he picked out, which was always the best one anyhow. The guys knew this would happen if they went along because they went through that when they were getting ready for a party once. And they didn't want to go through that again and waste their time. After Chad left, the guys were just sitting in the kitchen talking.

"So how'd things go with Gabby?" Ryan asked. Troy just smiled for a moment at the sound of her name without even realizing it.

"It went good, nothing much to complain about."

"Nothing much to complain about?" Jason asked. Troy was smiling down at the table now.

"Yeah, we were playing a game, and I tried winning her a prize, but I couldn't. so the guy running the game kicked the table to help me out. I guess he thought I was struggling or something. I could've done it myself though…" Troy trailed off and the guys all laughed. Ryan began suspected Troy's curious smile..

"Alright Troy, spill." Ryan simply demanded.

"What?" Troy cleared his throat.

"C'mon, Sharpay Evans is my sister. She teaches me how to read people's faces."

"Oh… okay Ryan, and your point?" Troy asked.

"Well, Sharpay taught me how to read people's faces to see if they were intimidated by our acting and all that… wait I'm getting off subject. Anyways! Your smile that keeps finding its way onto your face says 'something phenomenal happened that day' every time we mention Gabby" Ryan said leaning forward out of his chair a bit.

"Wow, you seriously spend too much time with Sharpay." Troy said, and Jason and Zeke just nodded in agreement.

Brad was examining what Ryan had been talking about. He carefully watched Troy, and nodded to Ryan signaling that he understood what he was talking about. Ryan smiled, thankful that someone else agreed with him. Zeke didn't feel like watching them argue over this, so he got up to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen. Jason caught his drift and decided to help. Brad saw the two get up and felt that he should help clean as well since he was cooking too.

"I know what you're talking about Ryan. Haha, just say it already Troy." Brad said as he got up to help clean.

"What?" Troy asked but Brad didn't answer.

"You two kissed," Ryan said as he smiled as he got up to hand the rest of the guys the dirty dishes on the table.

Am I really making it that obvious? Troy asked himself. "I'ma just go shower before you guys pound me."

The guys all laughed and finished cleaning.


Chad finally picked out a striped dress shirt and jeans to wear. By the time he finished getting ready, he realized he had about 45 minutes left before he had to pick up Taylor from Gabriella's house so he left to go to the store to get some things. After about 20 minutes in the store, Chad left with a brown paper bag in hand and a rose in the other. He arrived at Gabriella's house 5 minutes early and walked up to the door with the rose.

"Hey Gabby!" He greeted her as she opened the door. "Taylor here?"

"Hey Chad, you look nice. Come in, I'll get her" She said, letting Chad in then running up the stairs to go get Taylor.

"Hey Tay, Chad is here" she smiled at her friend as Taylor beamed a smile at the name.

"Hey Chad!" Taylor grinned as Chad stood up from the couch.

"Hey," he said handing her the rose.

"Thanks."

"So shall we get going?"

"Yeah, let's."

"Alright. Later Gabby."

"Bye Gabby!"

"Bye you two. Oh wait… Here take the spare key in case Tay!" Gabriella said throwing her a set of house keys.

"Okay, thanks Gabby!"

With that said, they left.


Troy already got out of the shower and came downstairs to find none of the guys in the house. So he went out back to see them playing a game of 2 on 2. Jason and Brad vs. Zeke and Ryan. Troy just grabbed a lawn chair and sat down, drinking water and watched the game. He was surprised to see how well Ryan played, and how good his cousin was. They were both better than he ever expected them to be, they both looked like they were on the basketball team like Zeke, Chad, Jason and himself.


Chad pulled into a parking lot and turned to Taylor.

"Hungry?" He asked

"Starved." She admitted.

"Good. Me too." Of course he was hungry, he was always hungry. They walked into the restaurant and ordered

"Oh, can we get this to-go?" Chad added.

After they got their food and drinks, they left.

"Why did we get it to-go?" Taylor asked confused.

"Don't worry about it." He said while he was driving. "Just enjoy the ride" he smiled

"Okay, fine."


Once the guys finally finished their game, they sat down by Troy to rest.

"Hey, you guys played good." Troy complemented. The guys were out of breath to respond and Troy just laughed.

"Zeke, Jason, remember Mikko?" Troy asked

"Mikko?" Zeke and Jason said in unison with a confused face.

"Yeah. Remember, Kevin Mikko."

"Cali Kevin?" Jason asked, Troy nodded.

"Oh yeah! He moved to California back in the day, what about him?" Zeke asked.

"Well, he moved back! He wants to hang out today."

"No way!" Jason said. "Man, the old gang!"

"Why didn't you tell us when Chad was here?" Zeke said.

"Oh, well we're not gonna tell him until school. We just felt like surprising for fun, besides he was amped about his date with Taylor."

"I see. That's cool" Zeke smiled.

"Who's Kevin? Or Mikko? Or whatever?" Ryan asked.

"He used to hang out with us way back, I don't think you and Sharpay lived here yet. He's pretty cool though, you'll meet him." Jason said.

"Isn't he the guy I met when we were younger?" Brad asked. "That one time, when I came to visit for your Mom's birthday?"

"Hmm, maybe, I don't really remember." Troy said.

"So what time is he coming?" Zeke asked

"I'm not sure, he said he'd call, maybe I'll just call him in a little."

"Great, well I think we should all shower then." Ryan suggested.

"Yeah, we all smell."

"Okay, I'll call him while you guys shower." Troy called Kevin, and he said he'd meet them in an hour at Troy's house. The guys all finished showering and just chilled until Kevin arrived.
