A/N: Well..here's the next update :) Chaylor timeeee :D

"So I'll see ya then, Tay." Gabriella said as she hung up the phone.

She'd been on the phone with Taylor for quite some time – Taylor had phoned her to make sure that everyone was still going to the restaurant. Even though it was only really going to be her and Chad, but she didn't really need to know that. Gabriella smiled once she'd put the phone back, and walked into the kitchen to get a drink.

"So the matchmaking is still on?" Troy asked, as he walked into the kitchen and saw Gabriella's head in the fridge.

Gabriella turned round, nodded and smiled.

Troy smiled. "Gabs, this better work. I don't want my best friend heartbroken."

"And you think I want my best friend's heartbroken either?" Gabriella asked. "It will work. I know it will."

Troy walked up to her and smiled. "I know." He then pecked her forehead, while wrapping his arms around Gabriella's back.

"Troy?" Gabriella asked.

"Mhmm?"

"We need food. Come shopping."

Troy sighed – he hated food shopping, but it had to be done. He agreed, and lead Gabriella to the car outside.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

Taylor was in her bedroom, looking in her wardrobe for something to wear. In the end, she just figured she'd wear some jeans, a black baby doll top and some black boots. It wasn't proper dressy, but she didn't need to be. It's just a casual group dinner. She thought to herself.

Taylor then looked around her room, and picked up the few clothes that she'd been interested in wearing, and hung them back up in her wardrobe. Then she grabbed her phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Gabs." Taylor said.

"Tay! Oh..hey. What's up?" Gabriella asked.

"Nothing, I've just got dressed for tonight. Hey, what's all the noise?" Taylor asked, hearing lots of people talking.

"Oh..erm..it's just the TV. I'm going to get ready in a minute."

"Oh, okay. So I'll see ya there?"

"Yeah. See ya then, Tay. Bye."

Taylor looked down at the phone, confused. But shrugged it off and started on her hair.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

Taylor had gotten to the restaurant, and looked around for any of her friends. No one was in sight. She then remembered what Gabriella had told her – to wait inside. Why she had to wait inside, Taylor didn't know. But she went anyway.

Standing just on the inside, and looking around the restaurant, Taylor sighed. They weren't there. She looked just out of the door, and she couldn't see anyone. It was now 7.10pm, and at least one of her friends would have been here by now. She decided to go outside, as people were looking at her – wondering why she wasn't sitting down.

As soon as she walked out and looked to her left, she saw a familiar guy, looking down at his watch.

"Chad!" Taylor called, walking up to him.

Chad smiled, and replied with a "Hey."

"Where is everyone?" She asked.

Chad shrugged.

After a few minutes of hardly talking, and looking around, Chad had an idea.

"I think I know where everyone is."

"Where?" Taylor asked ,looking at him.

"They're not coming."

Taylor looked at him, confused.

"Tay, remember what we did to Troy and Gabs? When we made them 'bump into each other'?"

Taylor nodded. "Ohh...I get you. They're doing the same to us!"

Chad nodded and smiled.

"But..why?" Taylor asked

"I don't know. But shall we go inside anyway? We'll get a free meal." Chad said.

Taylor laughed, and walked with Chad into the restaurant.

The two ordered their meals, and half-way through it, Taylor excused herself to the bathroom. As soon as she got in and shut the door, she took her phone out and dialed Gabriella's number.

"Tay?"

"Yeah. When were you going to tell me that you set me and Chad up on a date?" Taylor asked.

"Oh." Gabriella laughed. "Erm..never?"

"Why did you set us up?"

"It's obvious, Tay. You like him – he likes you."

"Gabs – that was way back in high school. Wait – did you say he likes me?"

"Yes. Now go get him." Gabriella said, hanging up the phone.

Taylor sighed once she put her phone back into her jean pocket. Chad liked her? Since when? Or was Gabriella lying?

But before she could answer any of those questions, Taylor was already back at the table. She smiled at Chad, who smiled back, and she sat back down opposite him.

"Soo.." Taylor started.

"Soo.." They both laughed.

"Well this conversation's going well." Taylor said, as she placed a bit of salad in her mouth.

"I know, right?" Chad replied, laughing.

Just then, Chad's leg accidentally brushed against Taylor's.

"Sorry." Chad said, quickly moving his leg away from her.

"It's alright." Taylor replied, her cheeks burning.

Oh no. It's not..I'm not falling for him. Taylor thought to herself.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

"So, I had a great time." Taylor said, as they were on their way to Taylor's house – in Chad's car.

"Me too. It was an experience I haven't had in a long time – a date. Even if we didn't exactly plan it right. I mean, look at me."

Chad was in jeans, trainers and one of his favorite t-shirts.

"You look fine." Taylor replied.

They then stopped outside Taylor's house, and Chad stepped out of the car to say bye.

"Okay then..erm..I'll see you tomorrow maybe?" Taylor asked when they'd got to her front door.

"Tomorrow. Sure." Chad replied, turning away to walk back to his car. He then turned back round and saw Taylor turning the key in her door.

"Tay?"

Taylor turned back round. "Yeah?"

But before any of them could say anything else, Chad's lips were pressed against hers.

"Erm.." Was all they could say when the kiss had been broken. But Taylor smiled, which Chad smiled back.

"So tomorrow?" Chad asked.

Taylor nodded. "Tomorrow. Bye Chad."

A/N: So that's the chapter. Chaylorrr lol. If any of you ready The Hats Have Gone Up, or Opposites Attract, they will most likely be updated tomorrow sometime.
