Troy walked into school the next day with a spring in his step. And everyone noticed it to. The old Troy Bolton was back.

He walked up to his locker to find Chad waiting for him.

"Good. You're here. Now I can put my plan into motion." Chad said looking around nervously.

"What? What are you planing to do? And why are you so jumpy?"

"I'm looking for Taylor. She's been on the war path ever since last night. But today. Today I'm going to change all that." Chad said smiling before walking to class.

"What exactly are you planing to do?" Troy asked nervously. After the stunt Chad pulled the previous night, Troy didn't know what to expect.

"Ok, I did some thinking last night and I came up with this,..." Chad started as they walked into home room.

A few hours later Chad and Troy stood on the upper level of the cafeteria.

"Dude. Trust me. There are a million other ways you can do this. Send her flowers, write her a poem, take her to a nice restaurant! But please, on everything that is holy, don't do this!" Troy begged as Chad looked over the edge waiting for Taylor to enter.

"Quiet half-breed!" Chad said holding his hand up.

Just then Taylor walked into the cafeteria with Gabriella. When Chad saw her he walked down the stairs and stepped in front of her.

"Uh, hi. Everyone, may I have your attention please?" Chad shouted.

The cafeteria went silent.

"I would just like to publicly announce something. Taylor, I messed up. I shouldn't have done what I did yesterday. I'm really sorry and I hope you'll forgive me." Chad said meaningfully.

"Chad, you publicly humiliated me, betrayed my trust, not to mention got me banned from the mall for a month! And you think I'll forgive you just like that? I don't think so!" Taylor shouted and stomped off past Chad.

"I hoped it wouldn't come to this." Chad whispered before dropping to his knees.

He took a deep breath and started singing in a voice that would cause the dead to jump up and cover their ears.

"I love you this much!

And I'm waiting on you,

to make up your mind!

Do you love me to?"

Taylor stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around.

However long it takes,

I'm never giving up!

No matter what,

I love you this much!"

Taylor walked slowly over to Chad as he stood up. When she approached him she dropped her lunch tray and wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a long meaningful kiss.

I would put more, but we have family over and my cousin loves to run me to death. She's five. The song is "I Love You This Much" by Jimmy Wayne.
