Chapter Three-You're The Brains
Troy's POV:
The next day in homeroom, Chad was very fishy.

"So what'd you do yesterday?"

"Um, go home. Do my homework. Shot some hoops. Ate dinner. Stuff like that."

"Really?"

"Um, yeah. What's up?" I said.

"Hm, did your parents adopt a girl our age yesterday?" Chad hinted.

Troy chuckled, "Oh that. No. Gabriella's staying over at my place."

Chad gave him a look, "And why?"

"Her mom's not home, or something," Troy shrugged.

"Whatever you say, dude."

Troy took a bite out of his sandwich,

"But can I tell you something?"

Troy swollowed, "Sure."

"Don't end up being her boyfriend."

Chad spun his heel and walked out of the cafe, holding his basketball.

"...Okay...Whatever."

As Chad stormed out of the cafeteria, he slammed into an African-American girl, causing all her books to tumble down.

'What the heck is this girl doing with all these books at lunch?' Chad thought to himself.

"Sorry," Chad got up, piling all the girl's books on to her arms.

She stood these helplessly, as Chad threw books at her.

Suddenly, Chad stopped throwing her books back at her, and took a few books off her arms, so he could see her face.

"Aren't you that girl's best friend?" Chad said forgetting Gabriella's name.

Taylor stared at Chad.

"Galleria, or something like that?"

"...Gabriella?" Taylor suggested.

"Yeah, whatever. You're her best friend, right?"

"...Yeah..."

"Did you know that her and Troy have something going on?"

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, I know. She's living at Troy's," Chad informed her.

"No. She's living with her mom," Taylor said.

"Nope. Her mom's out of town. So she's living with Troy."

"I don't believe you," Taylor said firmly.

"Fine, don't believe me," Chad said walking back inside the cafe, forgetting why he had came out in the first place.

Taylor put all her books back into her locker, and entered the cafe to see Gabriella walking up a stairway with Troy.

She looked around and saw Chad giving her a 'I told you' look.

Taylor ignored him, and sat down at her table.

The whole school was staring at her.

After lunch, Taylor saw Chad leaning at her locker, playing with a basketball.

"What do you want?" Taylor asked, giving Chad a gentle shove so she could open her locker.

"Do you like it when they're hanging out together? And everyone stares at you cause she's your best friend?" Chad said leaning against the locker next to her's.

Taylor didn't say anything.

"Cause I know I don't. Maybe it's because I'm a jock and you're not..." Chad said.

Taylor rolled her eyes, as Chad went off topic.

"Well anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, if you like people staring for the rest of your school years at East High. Fine," Chad said before walking away.

Taylor thought about it for a moment, "Fine."

Chad was just about to be swept up with the crowd if he didn't turn around, and walked back.

"What do you have in mind?" Taylor asked.

"Nothing. You're the brains."

Taylor rolled her eyes.

"I'll tell you tomorrow." Taylor said, closing her locker.
