"Taylor McKessie, you're up next," the teacher announced"Taylor McKessie, you're up next," the teacher announced. Taylor walked up to the front of the classroom, with a piece of paper in her hand.

The Seven Things I Like About You
I wrote about the seven things
I hate so much about you.
You'd think that you could read them
And tell me you do too.
Compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention
The seven that I like.
The seven things I like about you:
Your hair, your eyes
Your old Levi's
When we kiss, I'm hypnotized
You made me laugh, you made me cry,
but I guess that's both that I'll have to buy
Your hands in mine when we're intertwined,
Everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I like the most that you do
You make me love you

The class applauded nicely for Taylor, and she sat back down.

"That was…amazing, Taylor, thank you," the teacher said. He called the next student to read, and Chad turned around in his seat to talk to Taylor.

"Tay, I had no idea," Chad said.

"Well, now you do," Taylor said. "You still like her more than me?"

"I never liked her more than you," Chad said. "You have to know that."

"If you say so," Taylor said.

"C'mon, Tay," Chad said. The bell rang at that moment.

"The rest of you, unfortunately you won't get to present, but I'd still like your poems turned in by the beginning of class tomorrow," the teacher said.

"Tay, read my poem," Chad said, brandishing the piece of paper he was holding at her. She took it and read down it.

"This is…oddly nice of you," Taylor said. "You did this by yourself?"

"Yeah," Chad said. "For you."

The Reasons Why I Love You
You should know I don't like her.
She's like an old flame or flicker.
She's nothing, a dud,
Compared to you, she's no good.
I love you, that's what counts,
In really huge amounts.
I love your sense of humor,
'Specially about that one rumor,
I love the way you look
When you're looking at a book,
And the way you twirl your hair.
But nothing can compare
To the biggest reason why I love you.
It's because you love me too.

"Okay, it's not perfect," Chad said. "But it kind of rhymes."

"I think it's the best," Taylor said, giving him a big hug. "Apology accepted."

"We-we're not getting back together?" Chad asked, as she retreated back down the hall.

"I'll have to think about it," Taylor said. Chad followed her down the hall to her locker. She opened it, and put her book away. He waited patiently. "Okay, I'm done thinking about it."

"And?" Chad asked. Taylor slammed her locker shut.

"I love you," she said, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him.

"Well, what's not to like?" Chad asked.

"So vain…" Taylor laughed. Chad smiled.

"So, um, was that a yes or a no?" Chad asked, just for clarification's sake.

"It's a yes, you silly goose," Taylor said, taking his hand and pulling him towards the cafeteria. There was most likely a good song brewing in there.

.fin.

A/N: Yes, you heard right. It's over. I thought it was cute. Maybe you didn't. That's fine. Thank you so much for reading it, and please leave me a review! They make my happy! :D

Samantha.

Disclaimer: Yeah, I don't own it. HSM, the characters, Miley Cyrus, or the song 7 Things, or 10 Things I Hate About You. I did write Chad's poem though. And it rhymes. Sort of.

PS. The "her" in particular that Chad likes... I never really picked out a specific "her". So it can be whoever you want it to be. No, it's not automatically Gabriella, just because Troy said it was.
