Chaylor

1. They had completely ignored each other since elementary school. Taylor was smart and only associated with her smart friends while Chad associated only with his basketball team members. And when they got to high school, their ignorance of each other turned into one of hatred when the cliques in East High set them apart. And because it was a jock's job to torment the nerds, that was exactly what Chad did. What he didn't expect, however, was the nerd fighting back.

2. The fact that Gabriella and Troy were auditioning for the musical infuriated both Chad and Taylor. Chad because he felt that the musical would get in the way of Troy's basketball skills and that his best friend was associating with a nerd and Taylor because her newest friend was a genius and being associated with a lunkhead basketball boy or a musical would affect Gabriella's decision of being in the scholastic decathlon.

When Chad had suggested breaking them up, however, neither could deny the nagging feeling that they were doing something wrong. However, despite all of that, neither could deny the happiness they felt while working together.

3. It took Chad three tries to ask Taylor out. After debating the best way to ask her, all of which ended with the image of her saying no, he decided to go with being his usual cocky self. As she ran towards him, he caught her around her waist and loved the feeling of her in his arms. He was, surprised, however, that she had actually squealed and agreed to it. After all, wasn't it his cocky attitude that she had hated so much?

Taylor was ecstatic when the afro-haired teenager had asked her to the after-party. Before the championships and the musicals, she had feared that they would drift apart and just go back to their normal lives. The fact that she squealed when Chad asked her still disgusted her some times, especially since he was being his usual arrogant self. She did, however, decide that arrogance was something that could be toned down.

4. Sixteen was a very important number to them. They were 16 when they got together. The anniversary of their first date, first time and wedding were on the 16th of a certain month.

5. Many people had expected them not to last. Some of them even expected them to end way before Troyella. To say their schoolmates and everyone they knew, minus the Wildcat gang, had been shocked to find out that they had gotten together before Troy and Gabriella did was an understatement. People had even been taking bets on how long they would last with Chad's commitment issues. And when they proved to the world that neither of them were separating in a long while, their feelings for each other had actually got stronger.

6. It had been difficult for the first few months of their new relationship. For though their friends and Chad's family had approved of Chaylor, Taylor's father did not. He felt that Chad was undeserving of his daughter. After all, hadn't Taylor always said she hated him? So why was she suddenly dating this jock?

It took Chad three months to prove to Mr. McKessie that he was serious about Taylor. It had been the week before senior year in high school and Taylor had gotten sick. Chad had stayed by her side throughout the whole three days without leaving her room and for the next two days after she got better just to make sure she was okay. What had impressed Mr. McKessie, however, was the fact that Chad hadn't gone home even after being demanded to go home. He had glared at his girlfriends' father for the first time.

"I need to know that she is okay. And I'm staying, Mr. McKessie, whether you want me to or not. Because right now, your daughter means more to me than your approval."

7. They believed that the time that really tested their relationship was during their college period. What with their insecurities that the other would find someone better and Adam Murray. But they got through three years of college together and that was what really mattered.

8. Despite how romantic the other guys in the gang were, Chaylor always thought that the way they got engaged was the best and most romantic. Chad had everything planned and it was all to be perfect. Instead, Chad had ended up proposing to Taylor in her living room. And though that was far from anyone's view of a romantic proposal, the both of them always thought that it was perfect.

9. They had one daughter and one son together. And though theirs was a smaller family compared to the rest of the gang, they had always loved the fact that they were close and always there for one another.

10. Taylor was the first member of the gang to die. At the age of 73, she had passed away with Chad's arms loosely around her. And though many had expected Chad to leave not long after her, they were surprised when he lasted longer than expected. For although Taylor was gone, the love she had left around was still there and Chad found it hard to let go. When he finally did, however, he let go with a look of peace and happiness, 16 years after Taylor was gone.
