----------With Jason and Zeke----------
Jason groggily woke up as the bright sun shown through his window. He lazily stretched his arm over to reach the clock to see what time it was. 8:00AM. Why did I have to make sure my bed always faced the direction of the sun? Jason asked himself. He tried to go back to sleep, but the ringing of his phone kept him out of his reverie. He looked at the caller ID and Zeke's name popped up.
"Hello?" Jason said tiredly.
"Hey man, what's up?" Zeke happily said.
"How can you be up so early?" Jason replied.
"Well, Kelsi called me and asked if I wanted to have breakfast with her. I said I'd ask you if you wanted to come along, but since you're obviously tired, I guess I'll tell her you're not going." Zeke said with a hint of anxiousness in his voice.
"NO! I'll GO!" Jason yelled.
"Chill man, I knew you were going to say yes anyway so I told her we'd meet her at the diner. I'll come by in about fifteen minutes to pick you up. Be ready or I'm leaving you." Zeke chuckled to himself as he hung up the phone.
Jason hurriedly took a shower, brushed his teeth and hair, and got dressed. He was ready with five minutes to spare. He quickly sprayed his best cologne; the one Kelsi loved most, and almost fell down the stairs as he was so happy to see her again. He told his mom he'd be going out for the day and kissed her good-bye. He closed the door and turned around to see Zeke pulling up on the side of the curb.
"Hey man, ready to go?" Zeke asked.
"Let's go." Jason said happily.
----------With Kelsi---------
Kelsi was already at the diner waiting for the boys to come. She was too deep in thought to realize Jason and Zeke coming in through the door of the diner.
-----------Flashback-----------
"Hey Jason." Kelsi said gloomily.
"Hey Kels, what's wrong?" Jason asked giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"It's nothing much, just wondering what the college life will be like. I know we'll be on the same side of the country, but what if college brings us apart from each other? I don't want to lose you." Kelsi said sadly.
"Don't worry babe, if it brings us apart, then we'll come back to each other again. No matter what it'll take, I'll always be with you, whether it be in your heart or right next to you." Jason reassured her.
Kelsi threw her arms around his neck and enveloped him into a passionate kiss.
----------End Flashback----------
"Kels? Are you okay?" The sound of Jason's voice snapped her back into reality.
"Yeah, I'm fine. How're you guys doing?" She asked.
"Well, I woke Jason up and told him we were having breakfast together and he was ready in less than fifteen minutes. That's a new record." Zeke replied trying to embarrass Jason. It worked.
Kelsi laughed to herself at Zeke's comical story and then the waitress came. They all ordered something different from each other so they could share with one another. Kelsi order ten pancakes with a variety of toppings from strawberries and whipped cream to maple syrup or powdered sugar. Jason ordered eggs, bacon, and sausages with a side of bread and corn on the cob. Zeke ordered a variety of bagels and croissants to eat with Jason's food.
As soon as they were finished with the meal, Zeke excused himself to 'go to the restroom' secretly wishing Kelsi and Jason would get back together or at least talk about it. He looked over at the once happy couple, who were now holding hands across the table, and wished something else could happen while he was gone. Suddenly, his phone started to ring which caused Kelsi and Jason's eyes to dart across the room to where Zeke was. Zeke waved at the two embarrassingly and looked at the caller ID. He turned bright pink as he saw Sharpay's name displayed on the screen.
"Hello?" Zeke answered.
"Hey Zeke! Where are you?" Sharpay asked.
"I'm having breakfast with dinner and Kelsi, why?" He responded.
"Well, I'm at Troy's house right now and we were all planning on having a small lunch at his house. Do you think you guys can make it by one?"
"Yeah, that should be manageable. We'll see you there." He responded happily.
He hung up the phone and returned to Jason and Kelsi. They weren't really doing much with one another since it was awkward with just the two of them being alone. Jason and Kelsi looked at Zeke waiting for him to say something his phone call.
"It was Sharpay. She wanted to know if we could go to Troy's place for lunch. I assumed we all had nothing to do for the rest of the day so we could just meet up with them, if that's okay with you guys." Zeke calmly said.
"Are you sure you didn't just say yes so you could see Sharpay?" Jason questioned.
"Yeah, we all know you've had the hots for her since high school." Kelsi added.
"Very funny guys, let's just go and get ready. Kelsi, do you want me to pick you up so you don't have to drive to Troy's?"
"Sure, just call me when you're almost at my place."
With that, Kelsi left the diner and went home. Jason and Zeke began to head home as well. Zeke dropped off Jason and went home to dress himself up nicely to look presentable for Sharpay.
Four hours later, Zeke, Jason, and Kelsi were pulling up into Troy's driveway. They rang the doorbell and Sharpay answered the door excitedly.
"Hi Zeke!" She squealed as she pulled him into a tight embrace.
"Hey yourself, you look great!" He replied.
Sharpay ushered them in and told them to sit on the couch and that the others would be there soon as she went into the kitchen. After coming back out with a few drinks, Sharpay sat next to Zeke and began talking about the idea of the musical.
Zeke listened intently on every word that came out of Sharpay's mouth. Man, I love her. Why can't I just tell her how I feel? Zeke thought as Sharpay continued on about the production.
Jason and Kelsi were sitting next to each other on a nearby couch and were, once again, holding hands. Kelsi played with Jason's fingers while she still continued to listen to Sharpay going on about the musical. I wonder how Jason feels about me now. He must be feeling something, since we keep ending up holding hands. Kelsi silently wondered.
"Hey Kels, are you okay? Jason queried.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little confused."
"About what?"
"Us." She replied silently.
"Don't be confused, because I'm pretty sure that what you want from me, will be what I want from you too."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Well, I know we ended our relationship after we began college, but ever since I saw you in that restaurant again, I just miss you. I miss everything about you and I want us to be together again. Kels, will you be my girlfriend again?"
"Of course!" Kelsi exclaimed happily as she passionately kissed him.
Sharpay and Zeke looked over at the happy couple and Sharpay developed a sad look upon her face. Zeke noticed this immediately and asked her what was wrong.
"Nothing, it's just seeing them together again reminds me of us back when we were in high school. I just miss it." She said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Well, since they're back together, why can't we be together too? Shar, will you be my girlfriend again?" He asked her as he used the pads up his thumbs to wipe away her tears.
"Yes, I will." She said happily. She kissed him as soon as he was finished wiping away her tears.
Troy came downstairs to see two couples on his couches kissing each other. He smiled to himself and thought of him and Gabriella. I wonder what she's doing right now..
AN: I hope you guys aren't too disappointed with this chapter. I wanted to do a chapter devoted mostly to Zekepay and Jelsi since I'm been focusing on the other people a lot. Please review and give constructive criticism. Let me know if you have any ideas. I'll be happy to listen to them.
