Hi. To reviewer "freddie", luckily enough, Chaylor was the next one I had written. I like this one, hope you guys do too.x

Chad turned his webcam on, and checked his laptop. He turned another lamp on, checking again. Now it was perfect. He frowned, and tied his hair back. She'd like it better that way.

When a little window popped up letting him know she was online, his heart panged with excitement. He clicked the window, opening a larger window, and clicked the webcam symbol. He sat on his bed and cleared his throat.

"Hey baby!" he said happily, when she accepted the webcam request. She typed back a 'hi', before turning her own webcam on.

"Chad! Aw. It's so good to see your face."

"You too! Taylor, you're looking beautiful."

Taylor giggled, then grinned.

"You don't look so bad yourself!" She smiled. "Your hair looks hot."

"Thanks for my Christmas present." Chad grinned. "Those are some hot sneakers… my girlfriend has the best taste, I'm so lucky."

"Oh, you're welcome, and thank you for mine!" Taylor smiled lovingly, holding up the silver necklace she was wearing. "It's so beautiful!" She smiled, and sighed. "I just wish I could be there to thank you properly."

"Same." Chad sighed, sadly. "It's… hard, isn't it?"

"Harder than I thought it would be." Taylor said with a slight sad smile.

"Yale's so lucky." Chad said, bitterly. "I should've come to you."

"Your family needs you, Chad. Anyway, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder."

"My heart couldn't be any fonder!"

Taylor laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Chad." She carried on laughing, shaking her head. "We're doing spring break together though, right? Florida?"

"Yeah." Chad nodded, smiling. "But something away from where all those young people will be."

"Ha ha. Gotta hate those young people."

"I want you all to myself!" Chad proudly smiled.

Two hours later, Chad and Taylor were still happily chatting away via webcam.

"I'm telling you, Sharpay had calmed down a lot since leaving East High." Chad laughed to Taylor. "What about Ryan, hey? You're not too far from him, are you?"

"About two hours. We've met up a few times. We never really spoke before though."

"Fair enough, I guess." Chad shrugged.

"Hey!" Taylor said, glancing somewhere behind her webcam. "It's nearly midnight."

Chad looked at his own clock, and noticed it was about four minutes until the turn of the year.

"Tay, I wanna take this opportunity to say… The past couple of years have been amazing. You and I have been… awesome together." Chad paused, and giggled. "And I just said 'you and I'. I've learned so much from you. I can't believe someone as smart and pretty as you picked… me."

"Aw." Taylor managed to squeak out.

"Taylor, frankly, I love you."

"Aw, Chad!" She squeaked. She held her face in her hands, and squealed slightly. She regained her composure, and looked back at the webcam, with a slight grin. "And Chad, I love you."

"Ooh, happy new year!" Chad smiled as he noticed his laptop clock turn to 00.00.

Taylor frowned for a few moments, staring down, at what Chad assumed was her own computer monitor. Her face lit up before she replied.

"Happy new year, Chad!" She giggled, shrugging, neither of them actually knowing whose computer clock was correct.
