Sorry for typos bare with me ppl!!!! Enjoy…

The next morning Taylor peeped her head out of the bathroom door seeing if her mom was still sleep. She sighed as she saw her mom asleep on the couch snoring gently. Taylor took an apple of the table in the living room and snuck out the front door. It was only 7:50 a.m. Which meant it was way to early to go to school. Taylor was just to eager to sleep knowing there was a new boy that moved next door and she didn't want her mom to see her outfit,so she forced herself to get up early remembering Jack Bolton's words in quote "Me and my son will be moving in first thing in the morning". Taylor crept to the front door of apartment 412 next door and put her ear on the door she closed her eyes and listenened hopefully that she would hear voices.

"Their not here yet……if that's what you were hoping" A raspy voice came behind Taylor causing her to jump.

Taylor turned and saw a familiar 60 year-old woman standing their with a coffee mug full of fresh coffee. Taylor smell the fresh coffee scent coming out of the lady's apartment.

"Oh hi Mrs. Morales…did I wake you up?" Taylor asked.

"Nope….I was waiting myself…..I wanna see em' too" The lady said with a crackling laugh.

"Well if it helps I've met the father who's moving in" Taylor said.

"The father?......" Mrs. Morales asked.

Taylor nodded. Taylor knew Mrs. Morales since Taylor and her mother moved in. She was young then. She helped with everything they needed. She even cooked them dinner the first week they moved in.

Mrs. Morales sipped her coffee and gave a questioning look .

"Hmmm tell me more Taylor…come in and we can chat over some toast and coffee" Mrs. Morales said .

Taylor nodded and walked into the apartment that was decorated to a large extent. Mrs. Morales was Mexican-American. She was very bubbly and sincere.

Taylor sat on the couch and looked at all the pictures of Mrs. Morales and Mr. Morales. Mr. Morales died at the age of 55 due to lung cancer. Taylor remembered how the week Mr. Morales died Mrs. Morales didn't speak to anyone for about a month. Taylor also noticed how beautiful Mrs. Morales was when she was younger. Black curly hair and light brown eyes with a glistening smile and she even had to dimples to top it off.

"I miss that man…..he was a good man..you remember don't ya Taylor?' Mrs. Morales asked sitting on the couch across from Taylor sitting a tray of tea and toast on the table in front of them.

"Yes ma'am." Taylor said sipping her tea.

"Yea…..well tell me about this "father" that's moving in on our floor?" Mrs. Morales asked.

"Oh…well he didn't seem nice at first and so I was in Gina's apartment and-"

Soon later Taylor walked into the hallways of East High School. She was a sophomore there. With her bestfriends Gabriella Montez and Kelsi Neilson. Taylor loved the atmosphere of East High. It was her get away place from home. Everyone was so peppy and happy. Taylor envied that. Not that she didn't walk around happy too its just that they seemed to have the perfect life. She knew they had parents with good relationships and a father that would be proud to claim their family. So she put on a act of peppiness too to hide the truth of her horrible home life.

"Hey girl ready for the big pep rally?!" Gabby asked peppily standing next to Taylor along with Kelsi.

"You know it!" Taylor said switching her moods from sad to she had a reputation to keep up.

"Well come on we don't wanna have to sit on the bottom bleachers!" Gabby said grabbing her two bestfriends hands and all three ran to the gym seeing everyone making their way to them gym also.

Taylor winced as she bumped into a strong figure. She apologized not recognizing it was her boyfriend Chad Danforth.

"Hey Tay Tay!" Chad said immediately wrapping his arms around his main girl.

"Hey baby…..*kiss* your gonna win us the big game right? " Taylor asked batting her

eyelashes.

"Ok Eww" Gabby said. Taylor giggled.

"Well making a face like that I sure will..I better get get something in return" Chad said with a wink of his eye.

"Come sit with us" Taylor asked pulling him towards the gym doors.

"Woah babe you know I have to sit with my team….." Chad said.

"Well ok…save me a seat at lunch?" Taylor asked.

'You know it" Chad said walking off but not without giving Taylor a small smack on the butt.

"Are you two done?" Gabby asked in mock disgust with her and Kesli making fake barfing motions and noises.

"Haha very funny you two" The three girls said walking into the gym full of energetic high schoolers screaming "WILDCATS!".

Taylor and Gabby walked into the center of the court and gave a smirk to the girls behind her. While Kelsi ran to cue the music.

"Alright girls….let's get em' !!" Taylor yelled making the girl hyped.

"5-6-7-8!!" Gabby yelled.

The song "Goodies" by ciara and blasted the speakers and the crowd went wild. That's right Taylor Mckessie was the Cheerleader captain of East High Cheer squad. That's exactly why she had to keep her "Reputation" up. And her boyfriend Chad was the Captain of East High Basketball team.

Taylor and the rest of the cheerleaders rolled their hips and clapped their hands hitting toetouches and splits. Taylor winked at her boyfriend Chad as she saw him watching her hype up the crowd. Chad smiled and winked backed.

"GO WILDCATS!!" The cheerleaders yelled finishing their performance. The crowd followed screaming "GO WILDCATS!"

Taylor laughed and chatted with Gabby as they sat in the area with the Basketball team.

"And I was like no way…." Taylor said finishing her story.

"OH no did Chad really say that about Sarah Mcphearson?" Gabby asked throwing her head back laughing. Chad was always the one to talk about people for absolutely no reason. Gabby suddenly stopped laughing.

"Woah…….woah….WOAH!!!" Gabby said Patting Taylor franticly on her arm.

"OW! Stop that…what?!" Taylor said turning her attention away from making out with Chad to Gabby's alert call.

"Look….at that SUPER BOMB HOTTIIE over their on the other side of the gym!" Gabby said pointing

Taylor turned her focus to where Gabby was pointing and she smiled to herself.

"Well Well Well…Hello…Mr. Delicious" Taylor asked bitting her bottom lip sitting back against the bleachers hoping Chad didn't hear.

The girls drooled in awe as they watched a Caucasian electric blue eyed boy walk into the other side of the gym across from them . He was gorgeuous. He had brown Shaggy hair that fell over his to die for blue eyes slightly. He had on dark blue jeans a white plain shirt with some black vans and a grey jacket which he had the hood on his head. Taylor even noticed a glisten in his ear. He had a diamond stud in his left ear. She watched as all the girls on his side of the gym go crazy but hid it to keep it so obvious as they pointed at him like girls at a concert.

"I wonder who he is?" Kelsi asked.

"I..do not know! I wanna find out though" Gabby added.

Taylor just sat there quiet. She had no comment for no reason. She felt like she had no words to express her current mood as she looked at this God like boy. He looked Mysterious…and she liked it. A sort of sly look in his eyes gave her goosebumps. Seeing him walk put butterflies in her stomach.

Taylor jumped as she looked at him again seeing he was also staring at her on the othr side of the gym sitting in the bleachers. He didn't show any emotion. Taylor wanted to smile but she held back. She jumped as she felt someones arms wrap around her.

"Come on babe time for lunch!" Chad said kissing her neck.

"Ah Chad don't scare me like that" Taylor said giggiling.

"Tay, Chad lets go!" Gabi said

Chad ran off cathing up Taylor did also but she ran slower trying to get one more glimpse of Mr. Mystery. She looked at his side of the gym one more time. But frowned when she didn't see him. He was gone.

Taylor and Gabby walked to the cafeteria still chatting about the new boy. They walked to their original table which was the table both of their boyfriend sat with the rest of the bacsektball team.

"Hey baby" Taylor said leaning over the table giving Chad a sweet kiss.

"Awwww chaddie bear that's so sweeet" Zeke Baylor joked using Taylors nickname for Chad.

"Hey shut up Zeke! " Chad said hitting Zeke in the arm.

"Aww Zeke your just jealous you want a nick name to huh?" Taylor playfully asked.

"No I'm good Tay Tay" Zeke said eating his lunch.

"Thought so" Taylor said with a smirk. Zeke poked his tongue out at her.

" WHAAT?!!!" a squeaky voice thundered through the cafeteria.

Taylor and all he friends jumped in fear but they realized it was just Ice Queen Sharpay Evans.

"Yo whats up with the spoiled princess?" Jason Cross asked.

They all looked over at Where sharpay was and wasn't shocked to see she was over by the new boy. Probably trying flirt with him. Taylor suddenly felt a little envy towards Sharpay for some odd reason.

"Well looks like New kid doesn't anything to with Princess!" Chad said.

"Serves her right!" Taylor said suddenly realizing her words.

"What babe?"Chad asked.

"Oh…nothing" Taylor said sweetly.

It was end of the day and Taylor and Chad walked together hand and hand laughing together. Taylor had changed her cheerleader uniform knowing her mom forbid her to even be a cheerleader considering she thought cheerleaders were sluts. Taylor knew for sure she wasn't a slut. Taylor felt her body tense up and her hand clutched Chad's tighter as they approached her neighborhood. The sight of gangs, supicious people standing around…it was just a danger zone..especially for a person like Chad.

Chad lived in the upper class suburbs about a couple of streets away from the school. His father was a Doctor and his mother was a psychiatrist. Chad loved Taylor too much too let her walk home in a place like this alone.

"Chad…..baby you don't have to walk me home all the way..I can take care of myself" Taylor stated looking into Chads eyes and grabbing his hands.

"No, Taylor you know good and well I don't like you walking home alone….just let me walk you home….i won't let anything happen to you" Chad said kissing her forehead taking her head and continuing their walk.

Taylor closed her eyes as she heard some guys whistle at her and threaten Chad. Chad wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear "your ok..I got you". Taylor than saw a figure swoosh pass her up the stairs to her apartment complex building. He had the same jacket that new kid had on at the pep rally.

"Chad….I'm ok really I'm basically home so just go….its getting dark." Taylor stated.

"Ok…see you tomorrow babe…." Chad said giving her a passionate kiss. Taylor felt someone at the top of the stairs staring her and Chad down. When she looked the figure was gone. Taylor was starting to get creeped out.

Taylor watched Chad run across the street onto his way to his home once he was out of eye sight she jogged up the stairs.

"Taylor where the hell have you been?! It is 5:30 school ends at 5:00!" Janice McKessie said jumping off the couch approaching her daughter.

"Sorry Mama I was with Chad…I never get time to spend with my own boyfriend…" Taylor asked.

"Taylor you don't need a boyfriend at your age" Janice said walking over to Taylor.

"Yes I do mom. He loves me and I love him you've been fussing about me and Chad since day one just get over it already!" Taylor said angrily.

Janice McKessie just stared at her daughter and smiled and shook her head.

"Your just like me when I was young and in love with your father" Janice said.

"Well if me and Chad get married he wont leave me with our kids" Taylor said walking over to the dinner table.

"Taylor…."

"No mom just drop it ok…..I'm hungry whats for dinner?" Taylor asked looking through the fridge after walking into the small kitchen.

"That's what I wanted to tell you. Were invited for dinner by the new neighbors the Boltons" Janice said smiling.

"Oh…Great"

"Taylor meant well"

"Oh please…." Taylor said walking into her room and closing her door. It was just like her mom to make excuses for everything and everyone.

Later that night Taylor and her mom stood infront the Bolton apartment. Taylor looked at her mom as she held a strawberry cake she made for dinner. Such a phony smile her mother had plastered on her small lips. Taylor heard the doorknob turn and a chipper Jack Bolton opened the door and greeted us with hugs and a smile.

"Janice, Taylor I'm glad you came, please come in"

Taylor and Janice walked in. Taylor was surprised how different the room looked. It looked like a one room mansion. How could they afford all these pretty decorations. If they had so much money why did they choose to live n such a place?

"Beautiful place Jack" Janice said.

"Thank you" Jack said placing the salad bowl on the table.

"This must be your son" Janice said looking at the baby pictures and middle school pictures of a little mini Jack Bolton look alike.

"Yeah that's him alright. Names Troy" Jack said.

"He's handsome" Janice said to jack while nudging Taylor in the shoulder trying to make it unoticable.

"Mom" Taylor said embarrassed through her teeth.

Jack chuckled at this noticing the cake in Janices arms.

"Oh a cake? Strawberry I'm guessing" Jack asked with a wink.

"Oh so clever ." Janice said walking over to him

If Taylor didn't know better she could of sworn the two middle-aged adults were…flirting"

They then heard a door open. A teen boy stood there looking confused on why people were in his house. Taylors eyes stretched as she noticed it was the boy form school. The new boy. Taylor couldn't believe it. She took in hislaid back attire. Messy yet tamed shaggy hair looked like he just got out the shower. His blue eyes sparkled along with his diamond stud. His black tank top and dark blue jeans.

"Oh Troy this is Janice McKessie and her daughter Taylor" Jack said.

"Hello Troy" Janice said.

"Hi" Troy said as pleasant as he could.

"Hello Troy" Taylor said quietly.

"Sup"Troy said with a nod of his head. The two teens stood there staring at each other. The felt like a spark of electric passion flow through their veins. They stood there wondering if they both had the same feeling.

"Ok…I'm guessin you two met..let's eat folks" Jack said after sensing an awkward atmosphere between his son and Taylor.

Soon they sat at a table eating. Taylor sat their in disgust as and her mother flirted unnecessarily. Taylor looked at Troy who made a face and s ticking his tongue out at the two adults causing Taylor to laugh.

"Whats so funny dear?" Janice asked.

"Nothing" Taylor said sipping her nearly glass of punch.

"Oh Troy passs Taylor to pitcher of punch would ya" Jack said.

Troy nodded and placed the pitcher of punch by felt her pone vibrate and checked it was a message from Chad. She smiled as she read "I love you baby". Not noticing the punch pitcher near her arm Taylor moved her arm causing the punch to spill all over the table Jack and Janice shot up form the table.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" Taylor said standing up herself trying to clean up the mess.

Troy just laughed out loud shaking his head. Taylor felt like she wanted to die or just disappear. She never felt herself be more embarrassed.

"No its fine Taylor" Jack said cleaning the table.

"Well I guess dinner over good job neighbor" Troy said laughing and walking away form the table. Taylor looked at him and ran to the door and ran outside to the balcony.

"Troy Andrew Bolton go apologize now!" Jack said knowing his sons cruel sense of humor.

Troy sighed and walked out the door searching for this girl who he had no idea would change his life. For the best.
