A/N- This chapter will be longer than the last one. Semi-important authors note at the bottom. Warning: You'll probably be mad at me!

Arriving at the beach

When they got to the beach Troy and Gabriella went their separate ways leaving Taylor and Chad to deal themselves.

"So we're here what do you want to do?" Chad asked.

"I kind of wanted to get in the water. Since it's so hot out here I was thinking that maybe we could find a beach chair and put on some sunscreen so that we won't get sunburn," Taylor explained.

"So you're trying to be funny huh?" Chad asked Taylor quietly as they walked to find a spot.

"Well I mean you asked me what I wanted to do and I want to do what you usually do on a beach," Taylor stated.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah smarty lay down," Chad smiled. Taylor looked at him confused.

"Why do you want me to lay down?" Taylor asked.

"So I can put sunscreen on you. You can't really reach your back and I don't want your precious skin to burn."

"Ok but don't touch anything that you aren't supposed to." Chad sprayed the sunscreen on his hands and then gently rubbed it all over her body.

Back with Troy and Gabriella

Troy and Gabriella were in the water watching Taylor and Chad.

"Do you see that?" Gabriella asked as she turned to Troy.

"See what?" Troy said.

"Taylor and Chad over there all lovey dovey. Oh Troy he's spreading sunscreen on her. Isn't that the most cute and romantic thing you have ever seen in your life?"

"Um… no not really," Troy whispered in her ear.

"Troy you ruin all the fun."

"How about you just call them over here and tell them to get in the water?" Troy laughed.

"Good idea Taylor! Chad! Get over here come get in the water with us!" When Gabriella finished screaming Troy uncovered his ears and Gabriella hit him upside the head.

Taylor and Chad

Chad looks up when he hears someone calling his name.

"Hey Taylor Gabriella wants us to come and get in the water with them."

"Okay well let's go," Taylor said happily as she grabbed Chad's hand.

Taylor put one foot in the water and backed up.

"Tay what's wrong get in the water?" Chad asked.

"I changed my mind this water is freezing," Taylor said.

"You are exaggerating stop being a baby and get in the water." Chad pulled her all the way in the water into his arms.

Taylor screams and everyone else laughs. Taylor acts like she's mad but then Chad tickles her and she starts laughing.

"Yall done got my hair all wet," Taylor laughed.

"We're going to get it wet some more," Gabriella said splashing water on her.

"Hey!" she screamed splashing water. The guys joined and they started having a water fight. When they were done not a part on anyone's body was dry.

Taylor was laughing when Chad grabbed her. "Having fun so far?" "Yeah," she replied.

Taylor splashed some more water on Chad. He laughed, "Taylor McKessie you're gonna pay for that!"

He grabbed and swung her around in the water as she laughed and screamed for him to stop.

"Okay lovebirds me and Troy are going to take a break and get out of the water," Gabriella said interrupting.

"Cool I'm sure Tay probably wants me to stop repaying her back for what she did to me," Chad suspected.

"Yeah that's cool with me," Taylor declared. The couples walked out of the water hand in hand.

"What made you want to bring me to the beach," Taylor asked.

"Troy told me that he was going to take Gabriella on a surprise trip to the beach and he asked me if I wanted to come and of course I didn't want to be their third wheel so I thought that you would like to come," Chad answered.

"We're about to go and get some margaritas from the bar are you guys coming?" Gabriella said coming from behind them.

" I'm not really thirsty. Gabriella! You are not about to really drink alcohol are you?" Taylor asked seriously.

"Tay, I was just joking you really need to loosen up," Gabriella told her.

"I'm not thirsty either so you guys can just leave us," Chad said.

"Ok suit yourselves but a strawberry daiquiri sure does sound good right now!" Troy shouted as Gabriella and Troy ran to the bar.

"You mean a virgin strawberry daiquiri!" Taylor yelled back.

"Have you ever drunk anything with alcohol?" Chad asked quizzically.

"No! Have you?" Taylor asked surprised.

"Well um… yeah I've had a couple drinks in my life," he said.

"I guess I'm okay with you drinking but don't let me see you do it," Taylor gave him a kiss. They pulled apart as they heard someone approaching them. Chad turned around ready for a fight when he saw his buddies Ricky and Joe.

"Ricky Joe man don't be sneaking up on me like that anymore. I almost busted yall in the head," Chad told them as they greeted each other with their handshake.

"So who's the fine lady?" Ricky asked.

"Oh this is my girlfriend Taylor McKessie," Chad said proudly.

"The brainiac McKessie that you hated?" Joe asked.

"Yes, that one."

"Well damn you didn't tell us she was this fine," Ricky whispered loud enough for Taylor to hear.

Taylor blushed. Chad noticed and said, "Let's get off of the subject of Taylor for now."

"Okay we don't really have much time to talk we were on our way back to our hotel but you want to take some pictures to remember this day?" Joe asked.

"Yeah sure," Chad told them.

They finished taking the pictures and left Taylor and Chad alone again.

"They didn't scare you too much did they?" Taylor smiled and shook her head.

"You want to join Troy and Gabriella now?" Taylor asked.

"Sure," came the reply.

They walked over to the area where Troy and Gabriella were drinking some slurpees.

"I need a refill!" Troy shouted at the waiter.

"I forgot but me and Troy packed some sandwiches and chips that we can eat if you don't want to pay for the food here you just have to by drinks," Chad told them.

"So you guys want to have a little mini picnic on the beach?" Troy asked.

"I'd like that a lot." Gabriella looked at Taylor and nodded.

The guys went and got the food while the girls ordered the slurpees for everyone.

"Who made the sandwiches?" Taylor asked.

"Troy made them," Chad said nonchalantly.

"No I didn't Chad you know you made the sandwiches and I bought the chips!" Troy yelled.

"What's wrong with making the sandwiches? They actually taste pretty good is what I was going to say."

"Oh then in that case yup I made them and Troy bought the chips."

"Eww Troy these chips are staled," Gabriella said.

Troy made a sad face while everyone else laughed. After they finished eating they packed up and got back in the water.

"You want to have a staring contest?" Taylor asked.

"What? I have had one of those since I was like 10," Chad said grabbed her by the waist.

"Perfect you'll be easy to beat then," Taylor replied.

Instead of having a staring contest Chad places his lips softly on hers. He pulled her up out of the water and continued to kiss her. He moved his hands from his waist and sunk deeper into the kiss. Taylor moved her arms from the water to around his neck.

"Taylor and Chad sitting in the gutter eating peanut butter kissing each other," Gabriella teased.

Taylor pulled apart from Chad and hit Gabriella.

"What was that for?" Gabriella moaned.

"For being childish," Taylor replied and then gave Chad another quick kiss.

"Oh I forgot that I brought us some surf boards they're in the truck anybody wanna surf?" Troy asked.

"Yeah go get them Troy I want to surf!" Gabriella replied happily.

Troy went and got the surfboards. Everyone was in the water surfing likes pros except for Taylor who had the slightest idea how to maneuver the board.

Chad was so busy having fun that he didn't even notice that Taylor was nowhere in sight.

"Hey Taylor's not here," Gabriella said.

"Yall didn't notice. She never even got in the water. She's been sitting over there on the beach chair watching us this whole time," Troy replied.

"I'll go see what's up with her." With that Chad left and ran over to where Taylor was.

"Tay I want you to surf with us," Chad whined.

"I don't want to," Taylor replied not looking at him.

"Everything okay?" Troy yelled from the water.

"Yeah," Chad replied turning to Taylor, "Tay come on and surf with us please."

"No Chad just leave me alone," Taylor ordered.

"Why not? I thought we were having fun," Chad asked.

"I was having fun," Taylor said.

"Are yall sure everything's okay!" Gabriella yelled this time.

"Right now Taylor you're being an ass," Chad said.

"Well if I'm such an ass then get away-," Taylor said.

"No, I want to find out what's wrong and why you won't surf," Chad interrupted.

"I can't surf," Taylor replied, "Are you happy?"

"Tay we could have saved a lot of time if you would have just told me that," Chad said softly.

"I thought you would laugh at me and I've been laughed at way too many times already," Taylor said sadly.

"Hey I'm sorry. How about I take you out in the water and teach a few tricks," Chad said.

"Okay but promise you won't laugh," Taylor perked up.

"I promise," Chad replied lifting her chin and firmly kissing her on the lips.

Taylor smiled, "Now come on baby show me what you got."

A/N- I thought it was going to be longer but for some reason I couldn't stand to sit here and type this any longer. I'm starting to get bored with this story a little so I'll probably be on hiatus for a while until I get up to writing. Sorry to disappoint people who really like this story but don't be expecting anymore updates for a while.
