"I feel like hitting something or throwing something against the wall. I just wanna break something!" Taylor yelled as she paced in Troy's backyard.

"Baby, don't let her get to you that's exactly what she wants" Troy said trying to calm her down.

"I'm Sharpay, my daddy owns an oil company, so he's a millionaire but I'm his little flawless princess so I get everything I want even others boyfriends, I don't care who I hurt as long as I get what I want" Taylor imitated Sharpay's voice as she strutted around the yard twirling her hair around her finger biting her lip and making an innocent facial expression "And when I pout with my fake lips the guys do exactly what I tell them and if they don't I'll have them deported even if they're American. And next year daddy's promised me a boob job for my birthday instead of that Mercedes I have wanted for a day now" she finished with a high pitch giggle.

"That was scary it's like she was here" Ryan said.

"You should know, you live with her" Chad pointed out.

"Don't remind me" Taylor let out a growl and kicked the fence in the yard behind the basketball court as hard as she could.

"Taylor!" Lucille yelled as she came out of the house with a tray full of glasses and a can of lemonade. She sat the tray down on a lounge chair near the kids and looked at Taylor expectantly.

"She got kicked of the scholastic decathlon" Gabriella answered the unspoken question.

"Oh sweetie I'm so sorry" she said before leaving seeing that Taylor didn't really wanna talk about it. Taylor looked around the yard frantically searching for something, she saw the lounge chair and buried her face deep in the cushion and screamed as much and as long as she could until she needed oxygen. She fell back on her back in the grass and just looked up at the sky.

"Taylor, Tay, calm down, screaming and kicking won't solve this" Gabriella said walking over to her and sitting next to the distressed teen "Don't let her get the best of you, don't let her win be the bigger person, tomorrow walk by her and say hi with a smile on your face make her see that she can take everything away from you except one thing"

"What's that? She already took my team from me what more do I have? My brother cause honestly I don't think he would go for a girl like that backstabbing piece of shit" Taylor asked turning her face to Gabriella who gave her a smirk.

"Troy"

"Great I'll just rub the fact that I have her ex boyfriend in her face yeah that's really gonna help me" she said sarcastically getting up from the ground "I'm gonna go inside and make some use of that punching bag" and with that said she left the other four out in the backyard to punch the punching bag harder than ever before.

"You think she will be okay?" Gabriella asked as she sat down in Chad's lap.

"Sure, next year when Sharpay's gone she will be back on the team and everything will be as it used to" Chad answered nuzzling his face in Gabriella's neck "I hope"

"She won't go back" Troy said looking at the backdoor wanting to catch a glimpse of his girlfriend.

"Why not?"

"They kicked her of the team. She has to much pried to go back to those backstabbers they had a chance to defend her but did they?"

"No" Chad said looking down at the ground, he wasn't on the team but he felt like he had let Taylor down "How about if we get all of them kicked of the team, Taylor can start again next semester with a whole new team behind her back"

"That's not gonna happen, Matsui wouldn't allow it"

"Well fuck him then, Taylor deserves to be on the team she's the smartest one on the team they can't just kick her out, it's not right that the ice queen can pay her out of the team, no offence man" Chad said looking at Ryan who looked unfazed by it all.

"None taken, she is a bitch but she's still my sister so I gotta defend her but keep going" he encouraged leaning back resting on his arms.

Taylor was punching the shit out of the punching bag when Jack entered the small gym in the house only in his basketball shorts. For being a 45 year old man he was pretty built, the years hadn't exactly been bad to him.

"Taylor what are you doing here?" he asked shocked seeing the teen in the basement punching like a mad woman.

"Punching the shit out of Sharpay" she answered never taking her eyes away from her target.

"Okay last time I checked Troy called this bag Andy"

"That's because he thinks Andy is a stuck up snob who only was voted captain for next year since he paid the freshmen's on the team to vote for him, I'm calling the bag Sharpay since she is the reason all my so called friends has turned their back on me" she said kicking the bag.

"Okay the bag is for punching not kicking" he said holding on to the bag as she once again started to punch the bag.

"The only place where I actually felt like I fit in she took it from me not even thinking twice about it, she went straight to Matsui telling him some lie and got me kicked of the team. I have nothing left all I ever wanted, she took it" she finished tears running down her cheeks as she punched the bag one last time twice as hard as before. Jack came around the punching bag and held her tight and let her cry for a minute until she broke away from the hug and wiped away the remains of her tears "I want a cookie, I think I deserve a cookie" she said to Jack who laughed at her statement, he patted her back and gave her a light push towards the stairs.

"Have a cookie then" he said watching her climb the stairs, he shook his head and chuckled as he turned to the punching bag himself.

As Taylor reached the top of the stairs she felt nervous what would Lucille think of her now she practically tried to vandalise their backyard. She walked into the kitchen and found Lucille standing there with a plate of cookies and two glasses of milk waiting on her.

"There you are have a seat" she gestured to the chair at the kitchen island, Taylor sat down and took a cookie as the plate was pushed towards her.

"Thank you" she said softly eating her cookie slowly "I'm sorry I kicked the fence" she apologised finally looking her in the eye.

"It's okay I know why you did it but don't let it happen again" she warned.

"It won't, I have a perfectly good punching bag downstairs and if that's not available I can always scream into my pillow"

"Did you see Jack?"

"Yeah he's still downstairs"

"He's downstairs, is he wearing a shirt?"

"No"

"Sweetie I'm sorry you had to see that"

"It's not that bad, you should see Daniel he only walks around in his boxers at least coach keeps his pants on" Taylor said with a smile as she munched away on another cookie. As she was halfway through her cookie she felt arms wrap around her waist from behind and a head resting against her back. Taylor smiled feeling Troy's arms around her, no matter what happened she knew she would have him.
