What's up, guys? Okay, another secret is revealed in this chapter! So…..I'm really thankful for all the reviews I've gotten. I'm not sure how many chapters left are in this, but I know that we have one more competition to go, so it ain't over yet!

Anyway, so, I'm not very good with the funny stuff. I'm not exactly an expert on writing humorous stuff, but I try my best! But I'm not sure if this is going to be a very funny one, or not! I need Chad in this one….LOL.

PLEASE R&R!

Everyone stood in silence for a moment. Troy cleared his throat. They stood in silence again. Gabriella cleared her throat. They continued with the silence. Taylor cleared her throat.

"AH HEM!" Chad ended up clearing his throat, VERY loudly. Everyone was startled by that and just turned to look at him.

"What the heck?" Taylor asked him weirdly. Chad just shrugged. "I didn't want to be left out!" He exclaimed. Everyone groaned and shook their heads.

"So…this is boring" Chad continued. Everyone groaned again. "No dip, Sherlock!" Taylor added sarcastically. "God you're always so grumpy…"Chad mumbled under his breath.

"What was that?" Taylor asked him. "Nothing!" Chad quickly replied. "Thought so…" Taylor said as she narrowed her eyes at him.

Everyone started cracking up, and after the laughing died down, they ended up in silence again. "SO….." Chad said loudly, obviously not being able to stand the silence. Everyone just turned to him.

"Hey Zeke, do you think you could bake some cookies or crème' brulee' or something? I'm like, soo hungry!" Chad asked him while rubbing his stomach and starting to talk to it, "Aren't you, Mr. Stomach? Yes, you are!" He exclaimed in a baby voice to his stomach.

Taylor groaned and put her head into her hands, while Sharpay just patted her on the back. Everyone stared at him weirdly. "Uh, hello? What about it Zeke?" He asked eargerly.

Zeke shrugged. "Sure. At least I get to bake!" He said happily. He held out his hand to Sharpay. "Come on, Sharpay! Let me make everything up to you, by teaching you how to bake!" He said proudly.

Gabriella snorted and added a giggle with this, as everyone turned to her, and she just looked down, trying her hardest not to laugh.

Sharpay smiled, and took Zeke's hand as they started to walk into Gabi's kitchen. "Uh nuh uh, not in my kitchen!" Gabriella exclaimed as she started to walk towards them. "Do you remember what happened, LAST time? Oh and the time BEFORE that was the worst!" She snapped.

"Gabi….is there a reason why you're so sensitive, today?" Chad asked. Gabriella whipped her head around, to glare at him.

"It was YOUR ex-girlfriend that told Troy about you-know-what, so I suggest you shut it!" She hissed at him.

Chad leaned over to Taylor and whispered, "I think you better run!" Taylor turned to look at him weirdly, then she slapped him upside the head. "OW!" Chad exclaimed, rubbing his head.

Taylor scowled at him. "She was talking to you, dipstick, not me!" She added to him as she rolled her eyes. Chad just shrugged,

"Well I just wanted you to run from her" He said. Gabriella and Taylor just stared at him. "Why?" They both asked at the same time.

Chad shrugged again. "Well because I thought the first time was funny, plus, I don't feel like running right now, so I figured that Taylor should do it for me!" He explained, as he put on a smile.

Taylor just glared at him but Chad didn't notice because he was too busy, babbling, like always. 'Hey Zeke, if you and Sharpay want to come to my house, and bake, that would be perfectly fine! I mean, as long as I can eat!"

Zeke and Sharpay nodded as them and Chad started walking through the front door. Gabriella looked at them weirdly and yelled at Chad, "HEY!"

Chad turned around and Gabriella continued while everyone stared at her. "YOU, are going to let SOMEONE bake in your house, who once set it on FIRE?" She asked him, weirdly.

Chad shrugged. "Just as long as I get food!" He exclaimed as he walked out of her house. Gabriella rolled her eyes.

Everyone that was left, started talking quietly and Jason quietly nudged Troy. "Hey, you haven't said a word. Are you okay?" He whispered to him.

Troy just nodded as Jason sighed and started talking with Ryan. Troy stole glances at Gabriella, who was talking to all of the girls. He sighed, I really need to talk to her He thought to himself.

Jason and Ryan nodded at each other and turned to the group, and cleared their throats. Everybody looked at them as they said, "Hey me and Ryan are gonna head out. Ryan wants to make sure that Sharpay doesn't burn Chad's house down!" He laughed, as they all joined in.

They waved goodbye to them, and Troy was about to leave with them, but Ran stopped him and whispered, "You should stay and talk to her!" Troy nodded and waved goodbye to them.

The girls stared at Troy, obviously because he was the only boy there. Troy raised his eyebrows at Sharpay, Kelsi, and Taylor, trying to send them a signal.

The girls quickly got it and nodded at each other as Kelsi said, "Hey Gabriella, we're going to get out of here, we'll call you later, and four-way! Chow!" With that they practically ran out the door. Gabriella narrowed her eyes at the door, knowing that they left so Troy and her could talk.

Gabriella sighed and walked over to the couch, and grabbed the ice cream, and started eating out of it again. Troy frowned at her, as he walked over to her and grabbed the ice cream out of her hands again, and sat it on the table.

Gabriella groaned. "Oh come on, Troy!" She whined, trying to get to the ice cream but Troy swiftly grabbed her by the shoulders as he sat down.

Troy let go of her shoulders and sighed. "Listen Gabriella. We need to talk!" He exclaimed. Gabriella frowned, looking away.

Troy closed his eyes and started babbling, "Even if you don't want to talk, just listen to me. I need to know who told you that you couldn't make up with me. And frankly, you shouldn't care what they think! What matters is me and you, and nothing can tear us apart!"

Gabriella had tears in her eyes, but she still shook her head. Troy got angry then and spat out,

"Well then what can apparently, in your mind, tear us apart!" He snapped. Gabriella had tears flowing down her cheeks and lowered her head and whispered,

"They said I would….regret it." Troy gave her a confused look. "Regret it, what does that mean?" He asked her.

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, Troy, you're almost a junior in High School, you should know what regret means!" She exclaimed.

Troy laughed. "No, I meant, why did they say that?" He asked her, getting more serious. Gabriella shrugged. Troy sighed loudly, trying to get Gabriella to confess to her. Gabriella groaned and just replied softly,

"They said I would get scared." Troy frowned. "And you believed them?" He asked her, surprised that she would believe something like that.

Gabriella shrugged. "I think they're right though…." She stretched out. Troy sighed and asked, "Who told you this?"

Gabriella looked up with a scared face and was about to reply when Chad burst through the door, yelling,

"AHHHHH! SHARPA SET M HOUSE ON FIRE!" Troy and Gabriella jumped up with alarm, when Sharpay ran in, coughing.

"Wow, I didn't know I could do that! And this time, I didn't break a nail!" Sharpay gushed with excitement.

Troy and Gabriella both rolled their eyes, with Troy being mad that they interrupt them, AGAIN, and Gabriella being kind of relieved. "Chad…do I ALWAYS have to say, I told you so?" Gabriella asked shaking her head at him.

He just shrugged. "I'm just mad because I still haven't gotten anything to eat because of Ms. I Can't Break A Nail, over here!" Chad added sarcastically.

Sharpay gasped, and put a dramatic hand over her heart and exclaimed, "I can TOO break a nail! I have before!"

Troy rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Yeah but you whimper about it!" Sharpay cast a glare towards Troy, who quickly shut up.

"Oooh, Troy just got B-U-S-T-D!" Chad exclaimed. Gabriella groaned and shook her head at him. "It's b-u-s-t-E-d, not b-u-s-t-d!" She exclaimed, while rolling her eyes at him. "Yeah whatever…" Chad grumbled.

"Well don't be hating on me, just because I was the first one to know about our guys' secret powers!" Chad exclaimed to them.

Troy and Gabriella groaned, and then glared at him and they both shouted at the same time, "FOR THE VERY LAST TIME, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER THAT INVOLVES BEING PSYCHIC OR READING MINDS!"

Chad just stared at them in amazement. "Wow, there you guys go with that same time thing again!" He said to them.

Troy and Gabriella just shook their heads, when Taylor came inside Gabriella's house, and saw Chad and Sharpay, and walked angrily toward them yelling, "CHAD DANFORTH, AND SHARPAY EVANS, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT TROY AND GABRIELLA WERE TALKING!" And then she pinched their ears dragging them out. "Ow!" They said as Taylor carried them out of the house and turned back around saying, "Sorry guys! Go back with…uh…what you were doing!" And then she shut the door.

Troy and Gabriella both laughed and shook their heads. After they stopped, they turned their attention back to each other. "So.." Troy started, trying to get their conversation back up again.

Gabriella let out a breath. "Listen, Troy. I really don't want to talk about this right now. I PROMISE that sometime this week, we'll sit down and talk, alright? I really want to hang out with everyone and see how Chad's mom will react with a burnt kitchen!" She said, ending up laughing.

Troy chuckled and nodded. "Come on, let's go!" Gabriella said happily, as she grabbed Troy's hand and led him out of her house.

Troy just sighed and smiled faintly as he followed her out the door.

There a go! I'm sorry it's not as long as the last chapter, but I couldn't really think of anything else to put in this chapter!

Anyway, up next, I'm going to post a whole new story! But…you have to wait and see what it's about! I'm sneaky:-) Anyway…then I'm posting a one-shot about Ashley and Lucas! Yay me! claps wildly
