A/N: Here's the next chapter :) I was going to update much earlier, but my computer went all stupid on me..I've got it all fixed now though :)

At East High, it was a normal day. Taylor and Gabriella were answering all of the questions in Math class, much to the rest of the class's digust. Not that they both cared. Nope, they loved knowing how to answer the equations. They didn't care what the rest of the class thought of them - all they both wanted to do was get good grades and get into college.

The lesson went quick for the two best friends, and so did the rest of the school day. As usual, Gabriella said her goodbye to Taylor when they reached the outside of the school grounds. As Gabriella didn't live far from the school, she walked to and from school everyday. But Taylor caught the bus. As Taylor started to walk towards the bus stop, it left as she was about 10 seconds away. But before she could have even thought about moaning, she bashed into someone and landed on the floor.

As Taylor sat up, rubbing her head, she was about to say sorry to the person. That was, until she saw who it was - none other than Chad Danforth.

"Sorry??" Chad said.

As she looked at him, Taylor turned her head away, stood up and grabbed her bag from the floor. She then brushed down her trousers, and walked off - not before giving Chad oen of the most dirtiest looks ever.

Chad scoffed at the look that Taylor gave him, and started to walk. They lived on the same street - about 5 doors away, so Chad walked behind Taylor. He didn't notice, but he started to walk faster, which made him nearly in line with Taylor. Taylor noticed this, and looked at him. Chad saw her looking at him, and again, he recieved a dirty look. Chad scoffed again. Taylor stopped in her trakcs and placed her hands on her hips.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

Cahd was taken aback. He'd never have thought that the braniest girl at East High would talk to him like this.

"Erm..nothing?" Chad replied, lamely. He was confused. He'd always be able to think of a comeback. But obviously not this time.

Taylor nodded, and started to speed-walk. She'd gotten round the corner from their street, and noticed Chad walking extra fast now, aswell. She let out an "Ugh!" and continued walking until she reached her driveway.

As Taylor walked up her driveway, she noticed Chad look at her as he walked past.

"What's your problem?!" She shouted.

Chad stopped and turned around. "Nothing! Gosh! What's up with you?!"

"YOU!" Taylor screamed as she opened her front door.

Chad couldn't help but laugh once he saw Taylor's front door slam. This was the first time he'd gotten on a girl's nerves so much, and he found it hilarious. Especially since it was a girl from hie rival school - and she was the complete opposite to him. Chad being the basektball star, and Taylor the brainy one. He continued to laugh as he walked into his house.

Once Taylor had slammed her front door, she threw her bag down and let out a scream. She'd always hated Chad Danforth, but today, that had really done it. She picked up the phone and pressed speed dial #1 - Gabriella.

Gabriella answered the phone, but before she could even say hi, she was listening to Taylor talking so fast.

"What? Tay, talk slower please. I can't understand you."

Taylor sighed. "I just had to miss the bus! Ugh!"

"What happened?" Gabriella asked, shocked at how mad her friend was.

"I bashed into Mr. Lunkhead Basketball Man! He's so annyoing, it's unreal! Ugh, Gabs!"

"Umm..okay. I don't know what you want me to do here.."

"Neither do I. I just need to talk to someone. I need to get calm. He's made me so stressed. We argued all the way home."

"Oh, so you walked home with him?" Gabriella asked, laughing.

"Yeah. What? No. He was walking next to me. I had no intention of walking home with him at all. He was just..there. Ugh!"

"Erm..Okay, Tay. I'm gonna come over. I'll see ya in about 30 minutes."

They both said their goodbyes and Taylor sat and waited for Gabriella to come over.

Troy and Chad were shooting hoops on Chad's driveway. Chad was extremely hard on the ball - Troy was quite scared.

"Man, what's up?" Troy asked, taking the ball from Chad's hands.

"Her."

"Her?"

Chad nodded and pointed towards Taylor's house.

"The East High girl?" Troy asked.

Chad nodded, snatched the ball from Troy and began dribbling it.

"What happened?"

"She's so..annoying! She started an arguement with me on the way home, about nothing!"

"About nothing?"

Chad nodded. "Well, not exactly nothing. We bashed into eacher when we were trying to get ot the bus stop."

Troy smiled. "Oh."

"Oh? Is that all you can say?"

Troy nodded as he took the ball from Chad. Chad started talking again.

"I'm telling you, Troy. That girl is a MANIAC!" Chad shouted.

He was then caught off guard. The next thing he saw was Taylor.

"I'm a maniac? Ugh! Look at you!" Taylor said.

In the background, Gabriella was laughing at the two..and Troy was also laughing. But when they noticed eachother, they immediately stopped, and wwatched their two friends argue.

"Why do you have to live near me?!" Chad asked.

"Why do I have to live near you? I'm older than you! You move away!" Taylor shouted.

"You're not older than me! We're the same age. I'm 17 in June..You're 17 in May!"

"Yes, brains. I'm ONE MONTH older than you!"

"Ugh! Go away!" Chad shouted. He was frustrated.

Taylor walked off - not before making sure that she elbowed him as she walked past. Chad then turned towards Troy, and stomped inside..Troy following.

A/N: So that's the chapter. They argued a lot didn't they? Lol. The Chaylor will soon come :)
