0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After school Troy, Gabriella, Chad, and Taylor met outside the school to walk to the mall.
"What do you want to do first, Troy?"Gabriella asked. "It's your afternoon."
Troy and Chad smiled at each other.
"FOOD COURT!" they yelled in unison before running in the direction of the food court.
By the time Gabriella and Taylor caught up with them they had already gotten ice cream cones and sodas.
"You better share some of that." Taylor said crossing her arms and tapping her foot.
"Fine." Chad said rolling his eyes in mock anger before giving Taylor his half eaten cone.
"Ou wan schome hoo?" Troy offered with a full mouth and ice cream all around his mouth.
"No thanks." Gabriella said laughing.
Troy just shrugged and took another big lick. Gabriella smiled and handed him a napkin.
"Ok, now what are we doing?" Chad asked.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! JC Penny is having a huge sale on skirts! " Gabriella shouted before she and Taylor ran full charge at the store.
Troy and Chad walked slowly after them in an attempt to delay their torture.
When they reached the store the only thing they could hear was the'reeeeeeee...reeeeeeee...reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...reeeeee...reeeeeeee' of the clothes hangers on the dress racks.
When they finally found Gabriella and Taylor they already had a good sized pile of clothes they were trying on.
"Just wanted to let you know that me and Chad are going to go look for new basketball shoes." Troy said as Gabriella pulled out a shirt and held it up to her.
"Sure. Catch up with you later."Gabriella said still occupied with the dress before running to the dressing room.
"Quick, lets get out of here before we get sucked in too." Chad said nervously before running out of the store with Troy close behind.
They ran until they came to their favorite sports store.
"Sanctuary!" Troy said when they came to it.
They went strait to the basketball section and started looking through the shoes.
"Uh, Chad." Troy said tapping Chad's shoulder.
"What?"
"Look."
When Chad looked at what Troy was pointing at, he went speechless. On the wall was a genuine Chicago Bulls jacket autographed by Michael Jordan himself.
"Dude. Jacket. Awesome jacket." Chad studdered out.
"That's the most awesome jacket I've ever seen! I want that jacket!" Troy said hysterically.
"Hey, Guys! What's up?" Gabriella asked as she and Taylor walked up with several bags.
"Look at that jacket! I want it!" Troy said dragging Gabriella over to it.
Gabriella walked over and looked under it.
"Are you out of your mind! You could by a car for what that costs!" Gabriella said after seeing the price.
"What? What did I do?" Troy asked as Gabriella stomped out of the store and over to a bookstore with Taylor still close behind.
"Don't worry dude. I know what to do in these kind of situations. Just do what my cousin does." Chad said walking out of the store.
"But isn't your cousin four?"
"Yep."Chad said smiling.
Chad walked into the bookstore and went strait up to Taylor.
"Uh, Taylor?" Chad said shyly.
"What?" Taylor said as she flipped through a book.
"Uh...um...if I could...uh I would like to have...um...if I could have... for the jacket. Um...yeah...jacket. I...I would like to have the jacket." Chad said in a little kid tone.
"What's wrong with you?" Taylor asked confused.
"I uh..." Chad started before he put his head in his hands and started to fake cry.
By now the people in the store were starting to leave and Troy was holding back laughter with everything in him.
"I said I want the jacket!" Chad said still fake crying.
"What on earth are you doing?" Taylor asked still not getting the whole thing.
Chad then stomped his foot on the floor and shouted in a little kid voice, "I want the jacket!"
Taylor's eyeballs got as big as a fish bowl.
"No. Do not do this to me!" Taylor said pointing her finger at Chad. "I'm leaving the store!"
Taylor stomped out of the store with Chad stomping right behind her saying, "I want the jacket! You give me the jacket!"
Gabriella stared suspiciously at Troy, who just shrugged and followed. They followed Taylor and Chad to the middle of the mall. Taylor was trying her hardest to ignore Chad who was still stomping and screaming like a kid.
Finally Taylor had enough. She turned to Chad with a look that could kill.
"STOP THIS NOW!" she yelled pointing her finger at him.
Chad went down like he'd been shot and started squirming around on the floor, kicking his legs in the air, pounding his fists on the floor, and screaming at the top of his lungs about the jacket.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
About an hour later the four walked out of the mall. Chad with a black eye and Troy with his new Chicago Bulls autographed jacket.
"Thanks, man." Troy said putting his arm around Chad's shoulders.
"Anything to make your day better." Chad said smiling. Taylor just sighed and continued walking. "But I think it's going to take a little work to get her to talk to me again.
Later on that night Troy went to bed with a smile. Thankful that he had such good friends.
There you are! The next chapter will be mostly about Chad trying to say sorry to Taylor. Hope your rolling on the floor in laughter!
