"IT DEVELOPS..."

-----------------------

They're both total opposites. She's a math genius...

Shows Taylor explaining something to the students in the classroom

And he's a basketball junkie.

Shows Chad doing warm-ups before basketball practice, talking to Troy

They absolutely hate each other...

Shows both of them scowling at one another

And they got assigned to work together on a project.

Mr. Levisk: Chad, Taylor since you're both late, you'll be working together.

Chad: With her?! Can't I work with Troy?

Taylor: Yeah! Anyone but him! (points a finger at Chad without looking at him)

Chad: Who says that I want to work with you?

Taylor: Who says that I want to work with you.

So they both promise each other that they won't fall for the other...

Chad: First things first, I have no interest in you, so don't get any ideas.

Taylor: Ew! Who said that I would have any feelings toward you?

Chad: So, we won't fall in love with each other?

Taylor: It's agreed. No infatuation.

Chad: Infatu-what?

Taylor: Never mind.

But that all changes when Chad learns something about Taylor's life...

Mr. McKessie: What's this that I hear about your grade point average slipping?

Taylor: Dad, it's only .1. I could always bring it back up.

Mr. McKessie: Do you think Harvard wants GPA droppers? You don't think that Yale checks you high school records?

Taylor: I know Dad, but...

Mr. McKessie: You know the punishments of your actions. Now...

Taylor: No, Dad please. I bring it back up. I'll go even higher, work harder. (falls to the floor on her knees, crying)

Outside the window

Chad: Tay, no. (shuts his eyes. Sounds of a belt cracking could be heard)

And Taylor's afraid to tell Gabriella.

Gabriella: Taylor, where did you get that bruise from? Did someone hurt you at home?

Taylor: No, of course not. Where would you get that idea? I just hurt myself while...cleaning my closet out.

Outside at Another Time

Chad: Tay, are you okay?

Taylor: Tay? Since when did you call me that?

Chad: Never mind that. Are you okay?

Taylor: Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

Chad: Are you being abused by your father?

Taylor: (shocked) No. Um... I've got to go. See ya... Around. (leaves)

Does he develop feelings for the master of digits?

Chad: Hey Tay, can I tell you something?

Taylor: Yeah, sure. As long as it doesn't interfere with our promise.

Chad: What promise?

Taylor: The promise that we won't fall for each other. I mean, we can be good friends.

Chad: Oh, that promise...

Taylor: What did you want to tell me? I've got to be somewhere for me in, like, a minute.

Chad: Oh, it's nothing. Just go ahead.

Taylor: You sure?

Chad: Yeah, I'm sure.

Taylor: Well, if you ever want to talk, I'm always here. (smiles)

Chad: I know.

Taylor: Okay, hope to see ya around.

Chad: Yeah, see ya.

Taylor: Alright... (leaves)

Chad: sad What I wanted to say was that...I love you Tay. (sinks to the floor)

Does she return them?

Shows Taylor gazing dreamily at Chad

Taylor: No, we promised each other, but what is there to not love about him.

Chad turns around and smiles at her

Taylor: His smile, his fun-loving personality, his eyes that are warm and inviting... How can I deny my feelings?
