Thank you all for reviewing. I really appreciate it. I'm glad that you guys enjoyed the pancake ritual, Hyper Chad, and the afro thing from the last chapter. This story's going to get depressing soon, so I just wanted to write as much humor so you won't get too sad or anything when the time comes to be sad. How thoughtful of me right? Lol. I'm kidding. But is kinda does get depressing. So yeah. Okay, enough of my pointless typing, and, onto the next chapter:)

Who's That Girl
Chapter 2- Chad's Pet Names
Troy's POV
I was rummaging through my locker for my book for homeroom, and the next two periods when I turned around and looked up, I saw a mysterious looking blonde standing in front of me.
Whoa, this girl looks really familiar. I think I've seen her somewhere before. I think it w-
I was pulled out of my thoughts when she starting talking to me.
"Hey Troy." She said while she stepped closer to me.
"Uhh. Hi, do I know you?" I replied taking a step back. I almost fell into my locker doing so.
"Of course! Don't you remember me? You should." she said flirtatiously.
"Ha… Ha.. Sorry, but I don't." I said nervously.
Chad's POV (A few minutes earlier)
I'm walking down the hallways now. Actually, more like bouncing and jumping.
I can't help but be hyper. I LOVE food, especially sugar, and YOU my golden maneNumber one is my afro, number two is food, and three is Taylor. But don't tell her that. I would soo get in trouble with her. And I don't want that.
I finally got to the Chemistry lab, and there are the brainiacs.
Taylor looks really pretty. Gabi looks okay. She's my little sister. I wonder if she'll ever tell Troy how she feels about him. He feels the same way! Taylor and I have been trying like FOREVER to get them to tell each other how they feel. Since they don't believe it when Taylor and I tell them so. Huh, I wonder where Troy is. I bet he's getting more candy. Oooh. Yup. I want some more.
I started to jump and bounce with Jimmy the basketball in my hands, but it was too hard. So I just balanced it on my head. That lasted for only a minute, it would've have been longer, but I felt the mane flattening. I decided on just dribbling Jimmy.
I looked back into the room and they weren't there anymore. All I see is Ernie and Albert picking their noses.. And eating it.
"EWWW."
I grimaced immediately.
"Where'd Tay-" I started.
"Chad!" I looked behind me to see Taylor and Gabriella standing right in front of me. I jumped like two feet in the air. I almost dropped Jimmy too! I was NOT expecting that.
"Jeez. Don't scare me like that. I think the golden mane's going grey. And I almost dropped Jimmy!" I said jokingly.
"Jimmy?!? Who's Jimmy?" Gabriella asked.
I scoffed. "How dare you no know who Jimmy is, Gabster?" I asked while snapping my fingers dramatically. The girls started laughing really hard.
"J-Jim-Jimmy is h-his ba-bask-basketball." Taylor said between laughs.
"What?!?! He named his basketball? Wow." Gabriella said between laughs as well.
I scoffed again. "Ha, ha. Very funny. Come on let's get our books and hit homeroom before the rest beat us there." And I started to walk away from them, smirking
"Hey! Wait up Afro Man." They both yelled.
Ahh, I love that name. I'm very proud of it.
I started bouncing and jumping again, and I can swear that they were laughing at me. But when I turned around, they had straight faces. I started bouncing again, and whoop, more laughing. I was getting tired of it, so I just dribbled Jimmy down the halls. I got a pretty good head start from the girls. I was almost at my locker, when I stopped abruptly. In front of me, was not a pretty scene.
Damn it. I gotta stall Gabi and Tay before they get over here. Gabi's going to be soo mad when she sees this blonde bimbo flirting with Troy, and him flirting back.
I ran back to them, and blocked their way.
"Hey, umm. LookatwhatIcando!" I said really quickly as I was jumping up and down with Jimmy in one arm. They looked at me suspiciously, before Taylor started to talk.
"What the heck are you doing Chadford?" I winced when she said that.
"Taylor! I told you, not to use my full name! Nobody knows about it!" I yelled before pushing Gabi back in the Chemistry Lab.
"Umm, Gabi, you forgot something. And I uh, need to talk to Taylor real fast. So can you wait in here?"
"….Okay… If you wanted me t-" I interrupted her by slamming the door. I quickly ran back to Taylor.
"What the hell was that all about Chadford?" She asked impatiently.
"Look!" I said as I pointed her to Troy's direction. Her mouth was wide open.
"What the heck is he doing?!? Doesn't he like Gabs?"
"I know, Tay! Why do you think I was distracting you two? I don't want the Gabster to be sad."
She smiled softly, and gave me a hug.
"You're so considerate for her. She's lucky to have such a great big brother."
"Aww, and you're lucky that you have such a handsome boyfriend." I smirked, and she let go, and punched my arm.
"Hey. Don't push it."
"To the limit, limit. Cuz we're in it-" Before I even finished the line in that chorus, she put her hand on my mouth.
"I still can't believe you listen to that Corbin guy. He is so Disney."
I gasped. "You did not just diss my main man. He's cool! Well, his looks are anyway."
"You only like him because he has an afro just like yours." I gasped even more dramatically.
"WHAT!? My afro is soo much cooler than his."
"No it's not they're practically the same." She said nonchalantly.
"Yes it is Taylor!"
"No it's not Chadford."
"Yes it is Taylor Gertle Mckessie!" I smirked. No one else knows her middle name.
"No it's. What?! Did you just say my middle name?" She looked really mad at this point.
"No." I said under my breath.
I'm afraid that she's going to do something drastic like last time. I accidentally told Troy her middle name. And guess what?! She took my shampoo! My afro was lifeless for a whole day.
"So, you're afro is not cooler than that Disney guy right?"
"Yeah. Okay. Whatever." I said thinking that she was lecturing me.
"Ha! See? You just agreed with me. Your afro is not cooler than Corbin's." She was laughing at this.
"Wait. What?!? I did not!" I yelled.
I was distracted! Not fair.
"Whatever. Chadipoo." I winced at the sound of that.
"Don't call me that!" I exclaimed.
She started laughing.
"Chadikins. Chadalie. Chadiewadie." Taylor teased.
"Stop! Don't you remember the first time that I met you, Troy, Shar, and Gabs? It was scary!"
Flashback 10 years ago)
It was the first day of kindergarten. I was really excited, and nervous. My dad had just dropped me off, after he reassured me once more that my afro was going to be fine. I didn't believe him. But I still went into the classroom, only to be pushed out the door, and into the playground by the teacher, Mrs. Hancock. I looked around for anyone to play with, and I saw a group of kids walking up to me, and they introduced themselves.
"Hi, I'm Troy."A blue-eyed boy said coolly.
"I'm Gabriella." The brunette introduced herself.
"My name's Taylor." A dark skinned girl told me nervously.
"Ryan." The weird looking gay kid said.
"Sharpay's the name!" A girl wearing sparkley pink clothes exclaimed.
"I'm Chad." I replied back to all of them.
Suddenly the blonde girl took a step closer to me, and batted her eyelashes.
"I'm going to call you Chadipoo, and you're going to play barbie's with me!" she said getting even closer to me.
I took a step back"No way! I don't play with girly dolls!" I yelled.
"What?! You're going to play with me and you're going to like it!" she glared at me with icy eyes.
I got scared, and started to run. But Sharpay started chasing me around the playground. All I heard, was laughing, and giggling. Worse of all, Sharpay's incessant screaming.
"Chaddie! Chadipoo! Chadikins! Chadalie! Chadiewadie! Chaderella! Chad White and the Seven Dwarfs! Chadilicious! Get your tush back here! My Barbie's getting lonely!" she yelled as she ran after me. I looked back over to the others, who were laughing their pants off.
"Hey! You guys! How the h-e-double hockey sticks does she run in those heels?!" I yelled.
After ten minutes of running, she finally stopped chasing me. Instead, she ran inside, and got a bunch of tape, and glue. Then, she ran back to where I was sitting, and she stuck her Barbie to my hair! I screamed for my life, as she laughed and the others laughed. I immediately ran to the teacher.
"Ahh Call 911!!! Man down! Man down! My afro has a stinking Barbie doll stuck in it! And it's dying! DYING!!! Get help! Get my dad! Get a hairstylist!Get some shampoo! Do something! I don't wanna be balded" I exclaimed.
Ten minutes later, the teacher finally got the Barbie out of my hair. I was glad, until I saw bit of my afro in it! Then, I was officially traumatized. I'm never going near glue, tape, or barbies again. Neither am I going near Shar--
"AHHH!! You got your stupid hair on my Barbie!" Sharpay yelled in my ear.
"WHAT?!You're the one who stucked it in my hair!"
She shrieked even louder.
"Would you stop screaming?!? My ear's are hurting."
"Whatever!" and with that, she walked away from me. I was so relieved.
End Flashback.
I stopped reminiscing when I looked, and noticed Troy, and the bimbo weren't there anymore. "Hey! Where'd he and the bimbo g-" a voice then interrupted me.
"Where'd who go?" it asked. I turned around to see Troy standing right behind me, and Taylor out of sight. My eyes grew big, and my mouth was opened a little.
"N-nothing, man! Uhh. What was up with you and that blonde?" I asked suspiciously, and eyeing him.
"Oh, you saw that?"
"Yeah, who was she? And why were you flirting with her?"
"Who? Oh, you mean Mel?" he asked.
"I guess so. But what happened to you loving Gabi?"
"I do. But I told you already. I'm trying to get over her. Besides, Melanie's pretty nice. She's my mom's boss' daughter. And I used to be friends with her before her parents got divorced. Now, she's living around here again." He explained while stuffing his hands in his pocket.
"God what's Gabi going to think when she sees this." I murmured under my breath, but he heard me.
"What?"
"I- uhh. Nothing. I said I'm wondering if Gabi has pink on her wrist." I said awkwardly.
"… Okay.. You're spending too much time with Sharpay man. Pink? Jeez."
"Anyway, did you happen to see Taylor? I was talking to her, but then you came, and she vanished."
"Yeah. I did. I came over to talk to you guys. But I saw you talking about something Sharpay related, and Taylor came up to me, and told me when you were done spacing out, she'll be in homeroom with Gabriella." He said in a "duh" tone.
"Oh, yeah. I was retelling when we first met in kindergarten."
He started cracking up almost too soon. "I knew it! Hah, that was such a funny day. I'll never forget it. That's when we met, and that was your first experience with Sharpay, and her barbies. Wasn't it pure fun Chadikins?"
"It was not! It took me like forever to get the mane back into a good condition." I said while patting my afro.
He continued to laugh.
"Whatever you say Chadipoo. No wait, Chaddie!"
"Shut up." I said sternly.
He was laughing even harder as he said, "Oooh! I got one. Chaderella! Chad White and the Seven Dwarfs. Chadilicious!"
I glared at him. "Hello? Can we get over that, and go to homeroom? Zeke, Jason and the Drama queens must have beaten us there already. And I blame you for that. Mr. Flirty Mcflirtenheimer." I said while dribbling Jimmy, and chuckling. He abruptly stopped after I said that.
"Hey. I am not Mr. Flirty Mcflirtenwhatever you said. I was barely socializing with Mel."
"Yeah right. Socializing my ass. It was so flirting. It's the same thing as you do with Gabs." I stated.
"Whatever. Let's go." He and I started to walk down the halls to homeroom.
"But really, Troy. Are you seriously going to let go of Gabriella? Come on man, you love her. And you'll never know unless you tell her."
He suddenly stopped walking. "Chad, I've told you already. I love her, and I always will. But she doesn't love me back. So why reach for something that you'll never get even if you do try your hardest? It's okay man. I'll move on. Slowly, and painfully, but I'll get over her…eventually." He said, his voice full of sorrow.
I patted his back. "Troy, just tell her. And if she rejects, she rejects. Don't go through all of the "What If" shit. Really. Just do it. Besides, I'm a hundred percent sure she feels the same way." He shook his head.
"No Chad. I'm not risking our damn friendship, just to know how she feels. I know how she feels. She doesn't like me. So just drop it okay? DAMN IT! I'm not doing it. And that's final."
"Fine, but in the future, when you go through that phase, and you need someone to vent to, don't tell it to me. I don't want to be there to listen to my best friend regretting the decision that he made to not do something that should've been done. The decision, that I advised him to make." I said as I walked away fuming, leaving Troy standing there speechless.
It was our first serious fight. And it was over a girl. Not just a normal girl, she was our girl. My little sister, and his crush.
Troy's POV
Is Chadipoo right? Should I really confront Brie about my feelings towards herDoes she feel the same way like Chaddie's guessing? I silently chuckled. Those names Sharpay called him were hilarious. I remember that day so clearly. Note to self: Stop calling Chad those pet names, and get some food. I'm getting really hungry. I shook my head. Okay, what was I thinking? Oh yeah. Back on topic; Damn, I don't know what to do. I'm gonna ditch Homeroom. I don't want to hear Darbus lecturing us on the same thing over and over again. I mean, we get it. You love theater, and drama. You really love talking about it. But can't you talk and think about it on your own time, and teach us and damn thing?! God, I really need some air. My mind's all jumbled up.
I ran back to my locker and dumped my stuff there. I soon went through the lunch room, up the old abandoned staircase, and to my sanctuary, East High's Roof top. Gabriella and I found this place in freshman year. The whole gang was in separate classes, except for us two. We were trying to find AP Math, Room. 135, but instead we stumbled upon this place. It was very beautiful. And after that day, Gabriella, or I would always come up here to think, or just get away. It was the perfect spot to do so. None of the gang knows about it except us two. And I want to keep it that way. We even promised each other to keep this placea secret.
I looked around at all of the beautiful plants, trying to find the right one, and then I finally spotted it. It was a pot a daisies that sat right next the shelf of plants. It was my favorite because when Gabriella and I first discovered this place, it was the first plant we saw. Plus, we carved our names onto the bottom of the pot.
I went over to the daisies, and lifted up the plants. I smiled brightly. Our carving were messy and now they were starting to fade, but at least it was still there. From afar, you'd think it read I.D. & C.N. but up close, you'd see T.B. & G.M. I'm pretty amazed that no one else ever found this place. I bet the teachers know about it, but still. We're always hanging out here, and yet we're never seen anyone else come through those doors, and walking around up here.
I placed the pot of daisies back to its original position, and went close to the edge of the rooftop. The bell just rang, and yet I just stood there. As if I was living in my own world. Nothing could bother me right now. I started to look over the edge. I saw the little streets of Albuquerque. Everything looks so peaceful. I must have been there for a long time, because the next bell I heard, was signaling that first period was beginning. I started running down the stairs and to my locker when I bumped into someone they fell to the floor, and all of their books and papers flew everywhere. When the mess subsided, I looked down, and I saw that I knocked down…
Hmm, I wonder who Troy bumped into. Actually who he knocked down. Lol.
Yay! I got this chapter up today. I was going to post it tomorrow, but I was determined to finish it for you guys since like all of your reviews were like, "Update soon!" and "I love your story!" etc. I LOVE reviews like that. It inspires me to keep on updating sooner. Hint, hint. Lol.
I am extremely pleased with this chapter. I tried to make it much longer, since the last one wasn't that long. It was 9 pages long on word! That's a record. The last chapter only took up 6 pages. When I was writing it, I kept on laughing. Haha. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'll try to add in the other characters, but it'll take time, and more chapters, but by the fourth, or fifth chapter, everyone will be in the story. So don't worry about that. Oh, and surprise! Melanie made a little appearance today. Unexpected right? Well, I wasn't actually going to introduce her so soon. I was actually going to make the person Troy saw, a cheerleader, but what the heck. I put Melanie in it instead. You won't hear about her plan until later on. Okay, I think that's all you need to know now. Also, I'll probably post up the next chapter in two or three days. I haven't started it yet. Sorry. But I have a life, and I have a lot of other things I need to do. Unless you guys give me like 20 more reviews in a day, I'll stay up all night and try to finish the next chapter. Like I said, when you say "Update soon!" in a review, I get really inspired to update asap. Lol. I don't know why. But yeah. Okay. No more rambling. Onto the end of this page! Lol. Remember to review, and tell me your thoughts about this chapter, or story. Whatever.
P.S. Sorry if I made any more mistakes. Like I said, I tried to post this chapter up really quickly. So I didn't have much time to check it over. As always.Lol. Bye! –Ilyilyx3
