" Chad, stop it," Taylor giggled.
" Stop what?" Chad asked feigning innocence as he kissed her cheek.
" Come on just watch the movie," Taylor said.
" What movie?" Chad replied sitting up.
" Chad."
" I'm just kidding. I knew there was a movie. You're just distracting me from watching it," he answered kissing her cheek again.
" Hello, you two? We're trying to watch a movie here," Troy stated from the other side of the couch.
Chad and Taylor were at Troy's along with Troy and Gabriella on a double date. Chad and Taylor were as lovey-dovey as ever, but Troy and Gabriella had become distant. And it was reaching their breaking point.
" It'd be nice if you can flirt quietly," Gabriella added.
" Ok, sorry," Taylor responded.
" Troy, I hate to be rude, but me and Taylor are gonna take a walk," Chad said.
" We are? I didn't know that?" Taylor whispered to him.
" Well, I'm just a man of many surprises," Chad stated helping her up.
The couple walked outside in the cool breeze that greeted them as they walked out. Taylor wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's muscular arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.
" This is better than the movie don't you think?" Chad asked.
" Hmm, what movie?" Taylor replied.
" Oh, so now, I'm rubbing off of you, or something?"
" What can I say? You have that special something," Taylor admitted.
The pair walked along the sidewalk of Troy's neighborhood, becoming farther and farther from his house.
" Chad, I still can't believe we're together. It seems so surreal," Taylor stated softly.
" I know. But I wouldn't trade it for the world."
" Ah, Chad." Taylor stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
" Let's sit down," Chad suggested.
" Good idea."
Chad and Taylor sat down on the grass underneath a nearby tree. The moon shone as a spotlight on the couple.
" Chad, do you have this feeling something bad is going to happen?" Taylor asked hesitantly.
" What do you mean?"
" Well, lately I feel something is going to happen. I don't know what or when, but it is and…"
" Taylor, nothing bad is going to happen alright? You're probably just nervous or upset about something, but I'm pretty sure everything is going to be ok," Chad reassured.
" I guess," she sighed as she closed her eyes.
" I love you, Tay."
" I love you too, Chad," Taylor yawned.
Taylor had quickly fell asleep and Chad nodding off soon after.
Time flew by all too soon for the pair still dozed off under the tree. A cool breeze swept past awaking Chad. Chad glanced down at Taylor then again at his watch. I was five minutes to eleven. That meant five minutes to rush back to Troy's, drive over to Taylor's and reach home all before his curfew. Chad gently shook Taylor.
" Tay? Tay?"
Taylor slowly moved her head up to look at the handsome face to which the dreamy voice she heard belonged to.
" Yeah?"
" As much as I would love to stay here all night with you, I've really got to get you home," Chad stated.
" Oh. Well, what time is it?" Taylor asked.
" Um, four minutes until eleven."
" Then why are we still standing here?"
Taylor jumped up and grabbed her boyfriend's hand to pull him up alongside her. She held on to his hand as she ran back to the direction of Troy's house.
" Taylor, are you a secret Olympic runner or something?" Chad asked commenting on her fast speed.
" No, maybe you're just out of shape there buddy," she teased.
"Out of shape, huh? Well, I'll race ya," he challenged as he ran level to her.
" You're on!" Taylor answered.
Taylor and Chad ran back to the Bolton household, Taylor having a slight lead. She ran over to the passenger seat of Chad's car.
" Ha! I so won," Taylor taunted.
" Well, you can do your victory dance on the way home, because we have two in a half minutes to get you home," Chad said looking at his watch. They both opened the car doors until one door opening was louder than either of theirs.
" I can't stand you!"
" Well I can't stand you either!"
The front door crashed opened and was slammed shut by a certain upset brunette.
" I can't believe it, he is such a jerk, why did I ever fall for him, I'm so stupid," Gabriella continued to mumble to herself as she walked farther away from the Bolton household.
" Gabi, what's wrong?" Taylor sighed.
" You can't ask her tomorrow? I'm sure she'd still be moody by then," Chad whispered.
" Chad it'll only be a second," she reassured.
" You guys don't have to worry about me," Gabriella called out. "I'll be just fine walking home by myself."
" See? She'll be fine, let's go, we're down to less than two minutes," Chad urged.
" Chad, she obviously wants us to talk to her," Taylor replied.
" Honestly you two, I'm fine," Gabriella said as she sighed loudly for a dramatic effect.
" Chad… can we just give her a ride home?" Taylor asked. " Please?" She gave him her best pouty face.
After a brief moment of silence, Gabriella sighed again loudly thinking they didn't hear her.
" Fine, Gabi, get in the car if you want a ride," Chad said.
" Oh, I couldn't possibly intrude on you guys…" Gabriella began.
" Ok, bye," Chad replied quickly.
" But if you insist," Gabriella added as she ran to her friend's car and hopped in the back seat.
Chad started the ignition and began to speed out of the driveway. He raced out of the neighborhood as fast as he could.
" Um, Chad, don't you think you should go a little bit slower?" Gabriella asked.
" Why would I do that?" Chad responded.
" Because you're clearly going over the speed limit."
" Well, I don't think that really matters right now," he replied.
" Well, it will matter when a cop pulls up from behind us."
" Well, the cops are nothing compared to what are parents are going to say when we get half an hour past our curfews."
" Well, at this pace, will make it home in seconds," she said.
" Well, if you keep talking you'll cause me to get in an accident an we won't make it home in seconds."
" Chad! Don't say things like that," Taylor scolded.
" Ha! She told you," Gabriella teased.
" Gabi, what happened between you and Troy?" Taylor asked hoping to change the subject.
" Ugh, don't talk to me about that man," Gabriella scoffed rolling her eyes. " First off, he goes off ranting about how he has to break our date tomorrow because he has to be 'mentally prepared' for basketball," she said using air quotes.
" Then he makes up some lame-o excuse to why he can't hang out any other day this week. ' Oh, I need to be tutored or oh, I have an appointment. So I did what any other normal person would do, I asked if there was someone else. He got all defensive accusing me of not trusting him, we started yelling and I left."
" We were asleep that long?" Chad whispered to Taylor.
Taylor softly hit Chad's leg as she was listening to Gabriella's problem.
After a long ride home, Gabriella, Taylor and Chad each made it home eventually. Taylor, being dropped home after Gabriella, slowly crept inside of her house. Hoping everyone was asleep, she quietly waltzed upstairs to her room.
" Hello Taylor," Mrs. McKessie said turning on a light in the living room.
" Mom!" Taylor replied startled. " What are you doing up?"
" I could ask you the same question."
" Mom, I have a perfectly good explanation…"
" Good, you can tell me whenever you want because you're ground for the rest of the week."
" Grounded?"
" Yes, grounded. Now go to your room quietly. I don't want you waking your sister or your father."
Taylor silently stomped over to her room and laid on her bed. Her cell phone vibrated on her nightstand. The same nightstand which held a picture of her and Stacey, now held a picture of hr and Gabriella. She flipped open her phone to read the new text she had received.
Sleep well, Juliet, it read. It was from Chad.
Just don't come climbing up my balcony, Romeo. It's a school night, she typed back remembering the time they received an 'A' for their superb adaptation of modern day Romeo and Juliet.
I'll try not to, he responded.
Well, I g2g, love you, she stated.
Love you too, it read.
Taylor sat her phone down as she cuddled with her pillow facing the window. She still felt at the pit of her stomach that something was going to happen.
And it had already just begun.
