Chapter Four: Demtiri Comes Back

"Do you really think Haylie thought I'd bail?"

"Maybe, Chad. I don't know."

"I'd never do that! Haylie knows that."

After an intense basketball practice, Chad and Troy unwind by talking among themselves

"Well, you have to tell her that, Chad. It's not easy working with a guy who dislikes dancing." Troy stated.

"Oh, so it's my fault?" Chad asked.

"No, of course not!" Troy protested.

Chad shook his head, and gazed at the gym, which was empty except for a few baksetballs and them.

"Dancing...it's nothing like basketball, Troy. I mean, I can see why Ryan and Haylie like it, but I don't..it's not me."

"I hear you, dude, but you have to remember that Ryan has been dancing all his life, and so has Haylie, so you have to imgaine that--"

"I knew I'd find you guys in here!"

Chad stiffen at the voice, and Troy had a frown on his.

Standing behind him was none other than Demtiri, and he hadn't changed abit, since Chad last saw him.

"Dude, basketball players only!" Chad cried.

Well, except if it was Haylie, Gabriella, Kelsi, or Taylor.

Then that's when the rules crossed the lines.

"Relax, Danforth. I'm not here to cause trouble." Demtiri said, walking to where Troy and Chad were.

"Sharpay told me to get familiar with the school again, so I am...that isn't a bad thing, is it?" Demtiri asked.

"No, but you sure make it alot easier to--" Chad said, but he saw Troy shake his head in the corner of his eye.

Demtiri grinned, and sat down next to Chad, to Chad's dislike.

"I heard from Sharpay your entering the competion with Taylor."

"So what if I am? I'm just doing it because she signed us both up." Chad replied, anger already raising in his body.

After Demtiri got transfered, Chad hoped he never had to see Demtiri's face again, even if Demtiri looked abit like him and all. But, what he hoped more was that Demtiri didn't go anywhere near Taylor.

Demtiri chuckled.

"It's fine...I respect your doing it because she's your girlfriend." Demtiri told him.

"Then why are you doing the competion with Sharpay?" Chad asked.

"To see Taylor. Don't be so protective, jock-boy." Demtiri stated.

Chad's frown dug deeper, and he sighed.

He had a right to be protective! Taylor was his girlfriend, and he didn't want her to be hanging around Demtiri, which shouldn't be a problem. She hated Demtiri's guts anyways.

"I have to be...considering what you did to her the last time you were here." Chad explained.

Demtiri's expression changed from friendly, to anger.

"Do you always need to bring that up, Danforth?" Demtiri asked.

"Maybe." Chad said, and he and Demtiri just stared at each other before Demtiri stood up from the spot where he was sitting.

"Your such a wimp. I don't understand what Taylor sees in you."

And he walked out the gym, leaving Troy and Chad silence.

And Chad got to thinking: Demtiri was going to make things interesting again.
