Chapter Two: A Surprise For Taylor

"I'm sorry if I snapped at Chad, Taylor."

"Haylie, you had every right...besides, I told him you were stressed about the competion." Taylor replied to a concerned Haylie in english class.

"What do you mean, she had every right?" Haylie and Taylor jumped when Chad walked in, and setted his stuff down Taylor's desk.

"To snap at you. Remember?" Taylor asked.

Chad smiled over the two girls, and said, "Oh, yeah. Right."

Taylor rolled her eyes playfully while Haylie laughed.

Suddenly, Sharpay Evans came up to Taylor's desk, and handed her the cellphone, and the blonde girl looked slightly annoyed.

"What?" Taylor asked, blinking stupidly at it.

"It's Demtiri!" Sharpay said, impatiently.

Taylor blinked again, but took the classy phone from Sharpay's outreached palm, and asked, "Hello?"

"Taylor! Hey, how's it going?"

She felt her body stiffen, and Haylie and Chad looked on.

"Um...good." she replied.

"Listen, Sharpay told me you were in a dance competion, and she wanted me to be her partner so I could see you, is that okay?" Demtiri asked.

Taylor gazed at Sharpay, who was sitting beside Ryan.

"Uh...okay. That'd be great!" she replied.

"Alright, cool. Well, I better go before I get caught. Seeyou soon!"

Taylor clamped the phone shut in silence, while Chad just mad as ever.

"Taylor, what did he want?" Chad asked.

"N--nothing.." Taylor stated.

Taylor avoided Chad's gaze as she returned the cellphone to Sharpay.

"Here." she said, and placed cellphone on her desk.

When she returned to her seat, Chad still had that questioning look on his face.

"Taylor--" but he cut off by the bell.

After class had ended, Taylor didn't wait for any of her friends, and went to her locker instead.

When she closed it, she almost had a heart attack to see Chad leaning against the locker that was next to hers, wearing a frown on his face.

"Taylor, was it something that Demtiri said to you that bugged you? Because I want to know about it." Chad replied.

"Chad--"

"Tell me, Taylor."

Taylor sighed, and said, "Demtiri and Sharpay are entering the competion because Sharpay said it be a good excuse to see me." Taylor said.

Chad then again had that questioning look on his face.

"How..." he asked.

"I have no idea, but I know it's Sharpay up to her old tricks again."

As she walked to her next class, Chad caught up with her.

"Taylor, what could she possibly want from you? Nothing. The only reason she's in it is because Haylie "stole" Ryan from her, and letting Demtiri in the competion is to make Ryan feel bad. So, don't think that this scheme of hers is all about you. It has never been." Chad explained.

Taylor stopped walking, and looked at him.

"Maybe, but I'm still keeping my eyes open, whether it's about me or not."

Chad shook his mane of curls, and smiled at her.

"Okay, if that's what you think..."

Taylor grinned at him.

"I think so. Hey, are you ready for the next practice?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."
