Chapter 2: New Friends

When Troy and Rachel entered the cafeteria they went over to where all of Troy's friends were sitting.

"Hey Troy found some one to replace Gabriella already" Chad said

"guys this is Rachel Schmidt. She's new here just transferred here from Washington."

"And let me tell you it's very weird having the climate change. From being cloudy and rainy to clear and sunny" at the look on everyone's faces she realized that none of them had seen rain because the climate in Albuquerque was different then the climate in Seattle.

"Let me guess you guys have never experienced rain before" "nope" everyone said.

"Last year in November we got a total of 57 inches of rain. That was crazy weather there were floods going on everywhere"

"Oh yeah I remember hearing about that on the news your governor had to declare a state of emergency because there was so much flooding. Did your house get flooded at all?" Taylor said. "No because of where we were. There were no nearby rivers, lakes, or oceans. Plus were on higher ground so none of our house flooded. But I had a friend who wasn't so lucky. Her basement flooded and most of their valuables were down there. So they lost quite a few things. But we were fine. So Troy which ones are Chad and Taylor"

"um I'm Chad"

"and I'm Taylor"

"why do you want to know" Chad asked

"oh because my kids have the same name as you guys at least that's what Troy said"

"wait kids. How old are you?" Kelsi asked.

"I'm 18. But I was 16 when I had them"

"you were a mother at 16 how did you do it"

"I had to give them away. They're living in a home for teenage parents. Every month my mom pay $100 dollars each for them to stay there. So I know their safe. I was really surprised when I first met Troy he looked a lot like Darren the guy who got me pregnant in the first place. But he's in my past. I don't usually talk about him"

"well it's really nice to meet you. So what kind of programs are you going to do?" Chad asked.

"I was going to try out for the girls basketball team. I was the star player at my old school. I scored 40 points in our league championship game and we won. So I thought I would try"

"I knew you were familiar. I saw this article about you on the Internet last year you were on national news. I read…" Chad said. "Wow Chad you actually read something"

"Be quiet Taylor. Anyways I read you got scholarships to a lot of good schools. Like the UW, UCLA, and even Princeton."

"I also got some from Harvard, MIT, and Yale."

"I managed to keep a 4.0 GPA all while balancing basketball. I was doing well until I got pregnant. Luckily it happened after basketball season and I still managed to keep a 4.0 GPA. It was hard but I did it and now I have the freedom to go to almost any school I want to because of it." Everyone at the table was staring at her. They couldn't believe how talented this girl was and after all she's been through.

"Are you guys going to say anything" Troy asked.

"Wait what is little Chad into?" Chad asked.

"He is absolutely in love with basketball. He has a little foam basketball and a little hoop. And whenever he takes a shot he makes it and he's only 2. Then little Taylor is really into books and learning. Every time I went to visit her she would have some book in her hand. It's crazy. But they both still have time for each other. Last time when I went it was naptime and they were in the same crib together cuddled together. Wherever one goes the other follows. It's amazing"

"awwwwwww. That's so cute."

"Well I gotta go I'll see you in class Troy. Bye everyone"

"Bye Rachel" After Rachel left Troy say down with his friends and put his head in his hands.

"Dude Troy what's wrong" Jason asked.

"Just thinking about things"

"and by things you obviously mean Rachel. This looks like a guy friend conversation. Us girls are going to go find Rachel. Bye guys" Sharpay and the girls got up and left.
