(Allyn, how many times do I have to tell you? -Jordan)
"Having fun, Danforth?" Emily smirked as she walked into the gym during free period.
"Oh yes. Tons," he said dribbling the basketball.
"Good. I'd hate for you to have no fun at all," she said sarcastically. She joined her friends who were sitting in the stands.
"My God, you two need to just get it over with and get together!" Natalie said.
"Excuse me?" Emily had always been amazed at how…subtle Natalie was.
"You two FLIRT constantly. JUST DATE ALREADY! It's stressing me out," Natalie rubbed her forehead.
Emily just blinked at her.
"What Natalie is trying to say, is that you and Chad are extremely close lately," Sadie glared at Nat.
"No I'm not! I'M SAYING THAT EMILY AND CHAD NEED TO DATE!" Nat screamed.
"Nat, shush!" Emily looked to see if the guys heard.
"Ugh. That's it! I'm off to visit the French Club. At least they understand me," Natalie walked off in a huff, shrieking French.
"What's up with her?" Emily asked.
"PMS," Sadie nodded.
"Ah," Emily raised her eyebrows.
Chad and Emily were in the Boltons' living room, yet again.
"Emily, we need to talk."
"Ok, well your not breaking up with me, since we're not dating. So that's good," Emily laughed.
"I found this. In your room," Chad held up Emily's note. He had to fight Sharpay pretty hard to get it back.
"You what?! Why are you going through my things?!" Emily snatched the note and jumped off the couch.
"I wasn't," he objected, "It fell on the ground. I thought they were Biology notes, so I picked it up and…well it wasn't Biology notes."
"Yes, I realize this!" Emily shrieked.
"Em, wait. Just hear me out. Please?" he pleaded.
Emily sighed, "You have five minutes. Starting…now."
"I never cheated on you. I was only talking to Taylor to break up Gabriella and Troy, but it didn't work as you know. After you broke up with me, I knew Taylor liked me. I thought maybe dating her would make you jealous," he ran his words all together.
"Ooh, you're good. Four minutes and nineteen seconds," she looked up from her watch.
"Emily didn't you listen to me?"
"Of course I did. But I mean, what am I supposed to say?" Emily looked in his eyes.
"Say we can have another chance. Say we can be together again. I miss you, Em. I miss us."
Emily looked at him.
"I miss holding you and talking with you. Being your friend isn't the same as being with you. I want a second chance, Em. Please. Please give it a second chance," he pleaded.
"Chad…" Emily shook her head.
"Don't say no. Don't say we can't. We can, Em. I know we can. I'll make it work," he took her hand.
"It's just…I can't…" Emily struggled to find the words.
"Emily, I love you," he looked into her eyes.
"Chad. I just need some time to process all this. I mean, you can't tell me all this after all this time and expect me to just pretend nothing's ever happened," Emily looked back. She felt herself feel flushed.
"Yeah. I understand. Take your time," he said. He walked out the door with his head hung low.
Emily jumped on her bed. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes. Finally, Emily fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning at school, Emily was quiet. Everyone noticed. Gabriella, Sharpay and Kelsi tried to get her to sing, but she refused. Sadie and Natalie tried to get her to have a nice chit-chat, but she 'didn't have anything to talk about'. Troy and Zeke tried to get her to come watch them play one on one, but she had 'homework'. Jason tried to discuss CSI: New York with her, but she ignored him.
Chad ignored the whole group all together. He stayed in the gym during free period and lunch. He stayed silent during classes, which for Chad was definitely a sign something was wrong.
Emily sat on the roof during free period and only picked at her food during lunch. She gave up and went to the auditorium, where auditions for the spring musical were going on.
Most of them were horrible. Emily sat with her fingers in her ears most of the time.
"Emily, sing this!" Sadie hissed at her.
"Sadie, I'm not auditioning! And where on Earth did you come from?"
"Her mother's womb, now get up there and audition, Bolton," Natalie popped up beside her.
"NATALIE! Don't do that," Emily jumped.
"Go," Nat said.
"I'm not auditioning," she folded her arms stubbornly.
"Oh yes, you are," Natalie stood her up and pushed her on-stage.
"So nice to see you, Ms. Bolton," Mrs. Darbus peered at her over her glasses.
Kelsi pressed 'play' on the stereo and familiar music came out. Emily smiled to herself as she thought of the song.
She hit her cue perfectly.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got alot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss girl.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Shalalalala

Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

And she wont say a word
Until you kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Shalalalala

Go on and kiss that girl!
Lalalala, Lalalala (Go on and kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss the girl
Kiss the girl (Kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss the girl
Emily finished the song and received a standing ovation. She smiled big and made her way off the stage glowing.
"Told ya," Natalie told Emily as she exited the auditorium. She was glowing as she reached the exit.
"I heard you sing," Chad faced her in the hallway.
"Really? What did you think about it?" she cocked her eyebrow.
"I think I should take your advice," Chad took Emily in his arms.
"I must say that I agree," Emily smiled.
The two kissed in the hallway for who knows how long.
Their friends crowded in the entrance of the auditorium.
"They're so cute!" Gabriella squealed.
"I know, right?" Sharpay gushed.
"I'm just glad those two are back together. Maybe things will get back to normal," Jason rolled his eyes.
They broke apart from their kiss and smiled at each other happily.
"I love you, Em," he looked into her eyes.
"I love you, too, Chad," she returned the look, "Come on. I have somewhere to show you."
Emily took his hand and led him up the stairs to the roof. They sat on the bench together.
"I've waited for this for so long, you know? Now, I'm scared it's too good to be true," Emily leaned her back against his chest.
"It's happening, Em. But don't worry, I've been waiting for this too," he wrapped her arms around her waist.
"I miss being with you. Just like you said. I miss looking into your eyes and kissing you. I missed us," Emily relaxed in his arms. His touch did that, relaxed her in an instant.
"I love you so much. I don't want to lose you again," Chad whispered in her ear.
"You won't, Chad," she whispered, "You won't."
For some odd reason, I'm leaving the end note up to Jordan. I just have one thing to say, the song was Kiss The Girl by Ashley Tisdale.Now, Jordan's comments. Lord, something MUST be wrong with me…(No comment. -Jordan)
(I HEART THIS CHAPTER! IT'S SO FLUFFLY! And with a song put in, it's even better!
And there is so much irony with Natalie. She's a reincarnation of me, kinda. And yes, I have PMS too. Allyn didn't even know when she wrote that part. She is psychic. -Jordan)
