A/N: Here's the next update.

It was now a few days later, and Taylor was walking fast to the bus stop. Once she got there, she noticed Chad – hurriedly rummaging through his rucksack. Taylor looked at him confused, but turned away before he looked up. As she looked down the road for any sight of the school bus, she sighed. The bus was usually on time. It was 10 minutes late – she'd been late going out of her house and had figured that she'd have to get a normal town bus, and then a school bus from town to school. But seeing that Chad and another guy from East High were here, she couldn't have missed the bus.

Another 10 minutes later, she groaned and sat on a bench near to the bus stop – a bench that Chad was sitting on and was still looking through his rucksack. She laughed, and Chad looked up.

"What's funny?" He asked.

"What are you looking for?"

"My science assignment." Chad replied as he went back to searching through his bag.

"Your science assignment? Please. You – doing..work?" Taylor scoffed.

"Yes, I have to do this assignment otherwise I'm getting kicked off of the team."

"Oh." Was all Taylor could reply with. She didn't realize how serious being on a school basketball team could be.

"Ugh! It's not here!" Chad groaned, standing up.

Taylor then saw Chad running back down the street, to his house. But as she looked next to her, he'd left his rucksack. She was worried – what if the school bus came?

Just as that thought entered her mind, the school bus stopped at the bus stop. Taylor didn't know what to do – she could get on the bus now, leaving Chad's rucksack there, or she could stay there and wait for Chad to get back, and be even later for school.

Even though she didn't really like Chad, Taylor wasn't that mean. So she hid her face so the driver wouldn't notice her as a school girl. She sighed as the bus drove off, and looked down the street for Chad.

A few minutes later, Chad ran back down to the bench. As he noticed that Taylor was the only one there, he looked at her confused.

"Erm..hi?" Taylor replied.

"Did the bus come?" Chad asked as he shoved his assignment into his rucksack.

"Yea. We're even later now. And a town bus doesn't arrive for another 15 minutes." Taylor replied, looking at her watch.

"Okay. Erm..why didn't you go?"

"I couldn't exactly leave your bag there to get stolen, could I? Gosh, Chad. You should look after your things!" Taylor shouted as she stood up and started walking down the road.

"Hey! Wait up!" Chad shouted as he ran to catch up with her. "No need to shout. And where are you going?"

"To school. I'm not waiting 15 minutes for a bus." Taylor replied, not looking at him.

"Oh. Well I'm walking too, then." Chad said.

No reply came.

They'd gotten round the corner without a single conversation since Chad had told Taylor he was walking with her. Chad knew he had to start off the conversation.

"So..erm..did you have fun that day I saw you?"

Taylor looked at him. "Where?"

"At that cafe."

"Oh. Yeah, it was great." Taylor replied. "And I saw that it was you whistling." Taylor turned back to look where she was going.

Chad's cheeks started burning. "Whistling? When?"

"When I was walking to the cafe." Taylor replied.

"Oh, then. Yeah well I didn't realize it was you." Chad noticed that was the worst thing he could have said.

Taylor walked faster – why did he say that? She couldn't believe it. But she then felt someone behind her, and saw Chad.

"What now?" She asked.

"I didn't mean it that way." Chad replied.

"Whatever."

"I don't like you in that way, but I like how we're not arguing now." Chad said.

"Oh, yeah. Great." Taylor replied. "Well I'll see you later." And with that, she started walking extra fast.

Chad groaned. "Ugh! Fine!" He shouted.

A/N: So that's the chapter. Sorry that it's a bit short. But the Chaylor kind of started.
