A/N: Well here's the next chapter :) As long as I get atleast 5 reviews for each chapter, I'll be updating as much as I can

The gang had arranged to meet up at their local park. They didn't live too far away from eachother, which was quite handy. Gabriella and Taylor met on the way to the park, so they walked together.

"So, you get your acceptance letter then?" Taylor asked. Gabriella nodded. "So?"

"I'll tell ya when we get to the park." Gabriella said.

Taylor nodded, and they walked in silence towards the park.

Not surpringly, they were the first to arrive. Everyone else was always late to wherever they all arranged to go. Taylor and Gabriella were used to it. It was the way of life when you were friends with the people they were.

Eventually, after what seemed like a very quiet 10 minutes, the rest of the gang arrived - Troy, Chad, Ryan, Sharpay, Kelsi, Jason and Zeke. They all looked happy, and couldn't wait to hear about their friends colleges.

Gabriella jumped off the swing she was on, and followed everyone to the nearest bench. The park was fairly empty and quiet, so they wouldn't have any interruptions. Sharpay started.

"I got into UCLA!" She squealed, jumping from her seat.

The gang looked at her astonished. They hadn't even started to talk about college, but Sharpay being who she was, was too excited to hold it in.

"Aww, me too!" Gabriella said.

"And me." Troy said.

"And me." Said Taylor. Jumping from her seat like Sharpay did.

When Chad didn't say he was going, Taylor looked at him. He shook his head. Taylor sat down, and just sat there looking at Chad. She looked at him, right into his eyes. To see if he was playing a joke. When he didn't smile or break eye contact, she knew Chad wasn't lieing. They weren't going to the same college.

"W-what?" Taylor asked.

"I didn't get into UCLA. Their places were all full." Chad said.

"Where are you going?" Taylor asked, tears now forming in her eyes.

"USC" Chad replid. By now, the whole gang were staring at them and listening intently to their conversation. The girls all felt for Taylor.

"USC?"

"Yeah. Tay, we won't be too far. I'll come see you all as much as possible." Chad said.

"Yeah, but USC. It's not the same as UCLA."

Chad sighed. He never knew that it would be this hard for Taylor to cope. He reached his hands out to the other side of the table, and grabbed hers. Taylor held onto Chad's hands tightly, as if to never let go. Chad smiled. So did Taylor. She rubbed her eyes, and held back onto his hands.

"Right. I think that's enough of that. Ryan, Jason, Kelsi, Zeke. Where did you get in?" Taylor asked, looking at the four.

"I got into NYU. I'm doing photography." Ryan said.

Chad looked at him. "Photography? I thought you wanted to do theatre."

Sharpay looked at Ryan then aswell. "Well I think he's going to do great in photography." She smiled.

Ryan smiled. "I thought you'd hate me."

"No, I couldn't hate you, Ry. If you want to do photography instead of theatre, then I'll have to find another partner."

"Aw, Shar. I'm so glad to call you my sister."

Sharpay looked at him and smiled. "I know."

Ryan just rolled his eyes. "So, what about you three?"

"Well I'm going to NYU. I'm studying Musical Theatre." Kelsi said, smiling.

"Oh wow. Well, Kels. I'm sure you'll be famous someday. Everyone loved your plays in school." Gabriella said.

Even Sharpay nodded, which was a surprise. Kelsi blushed. "Aww, thanks you guys."

"Jase? Zeke?" Troy asked.

"USC. I got a basketball scholarship. So I'm with you, Chad." Zeke said.

Chad smiled. "Good. I thought I was gonna be a loner! Come on. Chad Danforth, a loner? Please!"

The gang laughed at Chad's comment. Although Sharpay didn't seem too happy that she wasn't going to be with Zeke.

"And I'm going to UCLA. Basketball scholarship." Jason said.

Hours had gone by, and the gang had all gone to their houses, but arranged to meet up the following day. As Taylor walked into her house, she flopped onto the sofa and started flicking through channels on the TV. Her mum heard the front door shut, so she walked in to find Taylor. Mrs. McKessie then noticed her daughter flicking through channels.

"What's up, hun?" Mrs. McKessie asked.

"Nothing." Taylor replied.

Mrs. McKessie took the remote control off Taylor and put it down on the table.

"No, tell me. What's wrong?"

"College."

"What about it?" Mrs McKessie asked, worried.

"Chad! He's going to USC." Taylor said.

"Really? You won't be too far from him."

"But that's not the point, mum. I love him. I truly do. I've never told him before, but I do. And now we're gonna be seperated."

"Tay, huni. I don't know what to say, but don't worry. You two will work it out. I'm sure of it." And with that, Mrs. McKessie kissed her daughter on her forehead and walked into the kitchen.

Taylor sighed. I love him. Wait. I love him? I need to tell him.

A/N: So that was the chapter. Hope you liked it. Yeah, this chapter was based around Chaylor really. I think I'll do each chapter based around either one person, or a couple.
