Okay, the second to last Chapter of this ENTIRE STORY, so please enjoy!

I think you will, I put something special in this one. That's why I loved writing it!

Disclaimer: I don't own it!

"Miss Rose said she'll get Mr Lance if she needs to," said Mr Woodblock as he came back into the class.

The whole class shuddered at the mention of this unbelievably irrational and scary teacher.

"Gabriella, go on!" urged Taylor, who was keeping an eye on the clock.

"Steady on Astra, we have enough time!" soothed Chad, and Taylor folded her arms.

"Chad, will you at least look at the damn clock before you say that?" said Taylor, so he did.

"Um . . . I stand corrected." He grinned, and chucked a bit of paper ripped off his homework at her.

"What is it with people in this class throwing things?" said Mr Woodblock incredulously and Ms Darbus pursed her lips. "Did you even pick up your chemistry book, Troy?"

Troy shrugged, even though it lay so blatantly on the floor, from when he threw it at Chad.

"That's our motto," grinned Chad. "When in doubt or angry, don't speak; throw something!"

The class giggled as Gabriella cleared her throat . . .

What do I love?

1. Freedom. I don't think anyone appreciates it as much as I do . . .

2. Singing. I think I love it because of that feeling of freedom it gives you . . . See Point Number 1!

Troy smiled, getting her point completely.

3. My friends; Where would I be without you guys?

4. Summer; all those hours of relaxation . . . summer is just another way of saying HEAVEN:)

"Totally!"

"Definitely!"

"Right on!" Everyone in the class agreed with this statement.

5. Troy Bolton; he's always there when I need him the most . . . thank you for being there for me!

"AWW!" came the class, and Taylor smiled happily for her friend. Troy got up to read his list;

What do I love?

1. Basketball. I grew up playing that darn sport, now it's become habit. Who wants to bet that I'll die with a basketball in my hand?

Everyone laughed, apart from Gabriella who said "Troy, that is so not funny."

"Oh well." Troy shrugged. "Everyone else is laughing, which proves otherwise." Chad snorted at this.

2. Sleeping. Funny, saying that reminds me of the time I fell asleep on Chad's bed . . . it was an amazing experience!

Chad grinned. "See what I mean? My bed's the best, I'd go as far as to class it as one of my brothers!"

More giggles from the class, probably because that statement was more corny than funny.

3. Singing; it gives you a feeling of release.

Troy glanced at Gabriella as he said this; she knew exactly what he meant. She smiled, and nodded.

4. My Brothers. You know who you are, and you rock!

Chad, Zeke and Jason cheered loudly, which set the class off. Ms Darbus had to smash Sharpay's old (but confiscated) phone against the board to shut everyone up.

5. Happi Gabi; What would I do without you?

Despite Ms Darbus' efforts, she couldn't stop the class yelling happily for the 'Head Wildcat' and his girlfriend.

"Happi Gabi . . . is that, like, your pet name for her?" Jason asked Troy, who nodded, grinning.

Miss Rose stuck her pretty head through the door, and said awkwardly, "Um . . . whoever locked the caretaker in the door broke the key off in the lock . . . so we can't get him out."

"Oh, for God's Sake!" cursed Ms Darbus, and Mr Woodblock rolled his sleeves up.

"God knows how a teenager locked Chuck in there . . . but I'll break the Goddamn door down if I have to!" He said fiercely, and the three teachers left the room with the class egging them on enthusiastically.

As soon as they were gone, everyone got up to go and talk with their friends. Troy and Gabriella took that opportunity to get up and go over to where Martha and Jason were.

"Pet names are cute." said Gabriella, smiling at Troy. "I guess they're sort of like nicknames; they reflect who you are."

"Chad and Taylor don't have pet names though, do they?" said Troy, and Martha and Jason looked at him, eyes wide.

"Yes they do!" contradicted Jason. "Taylor calls Chad 'Afro Angelo', and Chad calls her 'Astra Anora'. I thought you would have known that, Troy!"

"How do you know this?" asked Troy curiously, and Jason grinned.

"I'm like a nosy rat," he tweaked his nose, making the others laugh cheerfully. "I pick up things that's others wouldn't pay attention to."

"Wait a minute . . . oh yeah! I heard Chad call her Astra, and Taylor used Afro Angelo on her 'Things I Love' list." Troy realized.

"And they match!" exclaimed Gabriella. "Exactly the same amount of syllables. But what do they mean?" and Martha replied very matter of factly,

"Well, 'Astra' is a female Greek and Norwegian name, meaning 'Star' in Greek, and 'Great Strength' in Norwegian."

"And Anora?" said Troy.

"Anora is a Greek name meaning 'Light'." Martha paused before practically reciting,

"I think Chad meant them to mean 'Star Light' as opposed to 'Great Strength Light', because of the whole lucky charm thing. And because it makes more sense."

"El-Oh-El!" laughed Gabriella. "I think so too. Those Greek names sound really nice."

(A.N. She's saying LOL as letters, btw, which is why I wrote it like that. She's not saying it like it's a word.)

"What about Chad's name?" Troy asked, and Jason hastened to answer.

"I can answer that one; 'Angelo' is a Greek name meaning 'Angel'. I don't think 'Afro' is a name . . . but it could have something to do with Chad's hair . . ."

"Obviously, Jason!" laughed Martha, and the four teenagers snorted again. Jason was so slow sometimes!

"Aww, that's so sweet!" whinged Gabriella. "Star Light and Afro Angel . . . I want a Greek pet name too!"

"Trust Chad to come up with something sweet like that . . ." muttered Troy.

"Did I just hear my hair being mentioned?" came a voice, and Chad appeared, holding hands with Taylor.

At the same moment, Mr Woodblock and Ms Darbus came back in the classroom, saying somethings about Mr Lance.

"No, it's okay Afro Angelo." Troy grinned, and Chad lightly punched his arm in a playful fashion.

"We decided to hang with Zeke, Sharpay, Ryan, and Kelsi," Taylor began,

"And that was fun until Zeke and Sharpay started slobbering all over each other, so me and Angelo decided to come here, and Ryan and Kelsi went to talk to the Drama club members."

"Zeke and Sharpay . . . who would have thought . . . ?" Gabriella whispered to Taylor.

Taylor replied softly, "I know; it's a weird match, but they're really happy, and that's all that matters."

Taylor smiled at Gabriella, who smiled back as she wondered how her friend suddenly knew so much about love.

"Guys . . ." said Chad slowly, and half the class replied,

"Yeeees?"

Chad, dismayed, pointed to the clock, and as everyone looked . . . the bell for first period rang.

Oh no!

Sharpay and Zeke can't do their lists . . . or can they? Find out in the fourth and last instalment of the Woodblock homework series! (LOL)

I love the names, don't you? Afro Angelo and Astra Anora, Greek names. (Astra is also Norwegian)

I had to do some research to find out about those, but I used this huge Writer's Digest Character Naming Sourcebook to help me, so it's cool.

Aww, the story's coming to an end! I'm sad . . . :(
