I do not claim to own Frankie Valli, the Four Seasons, High School Musical, or Dumbledore and his socks. Although if I owned just Dumbledore and his socks there is a good chance I would probably be richer than if I owned High School Musical, the Four Seasons, and Frankie Valli.
This story is based on the song by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons with me adding a lot to it. Plus I thought this seemed kind of like something that Chad might do, I haven't written a completely Chad/Taylor story, and I love Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Enjoy :)
It was Saturday night, and as always Troy, Chad, Jason, Zeke, and Ryan were sitting in the Bolton's backyard in a circle in the grass. Every single Saturday night since middle school they had been getting together to sit around, talk, play truth or dare, and eat. Ryan was the newest addition to the tradition after the whole Lava Springs incident, but was quickly brought up to date with everything that had happened at these get-togethers previously.
"Truth or Dare." Jason asked Chad, knowing what he would pick. They had always said truth for the last three years after a nasty dare including paint and Troy's father's car. To put it mildly they all had learned their lesson after having to pay for the new paint job and the reupholstering of the car. Plus they tried saying truth or truth for awhile, but thought it sounded too weird.
"Dare." Chad said smiling. He knew perfectly well that no one was going to give him anything that bad. What could beat the car dare?
"What?" Troy asked, jaw practically on the ground.
"Dare." Chad repeated, smile turning into more of a smirk. He laughed as he noticed that all of their mouths were wide open.
"Dang, now I have to come up with something good." Jason said frowning. He had to think of something that would go down in the history books of their truth or dare games…. Not to mention it couldn't sound stupid like they all thought he was.
"Take your time." Chad replied, lying down in the grass with his hands behind his head.
"Popcorn boys!" Mrs. Bolton said as she walked out into the backyard with two huge bowls of it. She did her best not to laugh as all their faces lit up.
"Thanks mom!" Troy said enthusiastically as he took a bowl from her and Zeke took the other one.
"Yeah, thanks mom." Chad said laughing as the rest of them nodded their heads in agreement.
"You're welcome. Now don't stay up too late, tomorrow's your last day of summer as a child. Then it's going to be college for you all." She said smiling as they scowled at her.
"Your mom has a point." Ryan said as they watched her walk back into the house.
"So we need to make this a monumental Saturday night then." Zeke said as he threw some popcorn at Chad's mouth that was wide open.
"I've figured out the dare!" Jason said smiling, very proud of himself, as he grabbed a fist full of popcorn and shoved it in his mouth, much like what Chad was doing now that he had sat up.
"What? Doorbell ditch Principal Matsui's house again?" Troy asked snorting. That hadn't gone well. He opened his door a second before Jason was about to ring the doorbell and Jason being Jason, hadn't a clue as to what to say as an excuse. All the rest of them had heard from behind the next door neighbor's hedge was "socks" and "Dumbledore." They were soon discovered after they couldn't hold in their hysterical laughter.
"No." Jason replied grimacing at the memory of having a rather long conversation about Dumbledore with his principle, who had surprisingly known a lot about the subject.
"What then?" Ryan asked taking a small handful of popcorn and putting a few pieces in his mouth.
"I dare you," Jason said looking Chad in the eyes, "To dump Taylor."
"Jason –" Ryan started to say, but was interrupted by Troy.
"Are you crazy Jason?" Troy practically yelled.
"Shush! The neighbors will wake up!" Zeke said looking at his watch and realizing it was 10 o'clock at night.
"Jason, take that back. That's not fair." Ryan said finishing what he had tried to say before.
"You're right, never mind." Jason replied looking defeated as he started to try and think of another one.
"Chad Danforth does not refuse a dare." Chad said stonily. Troy and Ryan slammed their foreheads into the palms of their hands knowing that this wasn't going to end well as Zeke shook his head.
"Dude, don't do this! This is a bad idea!" Troy said as he walked next to Chad as they entered East High for the first day of their senior year.
"What could go wrong? It's not like I'm not going to ask her out right away afterwards. Plus she'll call my bluff. She knows I'd never really break up with her." Chad responded as he reached his new locker according to his schedule.
"Chad, trust me on this! Taylor won't be exactly forgiving." Troy said noticing that Kelsi, Taylor, Jason, Sharpay, Ryan, Gabriella, and Zeke were coming their way. "Not to mention it's the first day of our last year of high school! Dude don't do it!" He said as another apparently vain attempt. He'd known Chad for most of their lives…. He didn't say no to a dare. Example A: Jack Bolton's car.
"How about this? I dare you not to do it?" Troy said moving to block Chad from his locker.
"You can't do a dare that cancels out the first one! You know that!" Chad replied looking at Troy like he was crazy. "Plus I was actually planning on telling her something on our date on Friday…." He said getting a far away look in his eyes. Troy wasn't sure if he'd ever been this stressed. Especially since if any of the girls found out about this Chad wouldn't be the only one in trouble.
"Don't come crying to me when this goes wrong then, okay?" Troy asked irritated and leaned against the locker next to Chad's.
"Hey, you okay?" Gabriella asked Troy as she and the rest of them arrived at Chad's locker.
"No, not really." He replied rubbing his temples. He glared at Chad who just shrugged.
"What's wrong." Gabriella asked curiously. He seemed really upset. Troy was about to respond, but Chad beat him to it.
"He's upset by something I said."
Gabriella scrunched her eyebrows together. Something was up.
"Hey, Taylor I've got to tell you something." Chad said closing his locker. Ryan, Zeke, and Troy did their best not to groan.
"What?" She asked happily as she took his hand in hers. She loved the first day of school, nothing could bring her down on the last first day of high school.
"We have to break up." He responded, face straight. Ryan really did groan. Why would Chad do it in front of everyone else? How stupid could he get?
Taylor dropped Chad's hand like it was fire. "Fine." She said, emotionless.
"Fine?" Chad asked astounded.
"Fine." She repeated, just as emotionless. He was not going to win this.
"Wh-What?" He asked in shock. How could she just accept it like that!?
"Big girls don't cry." She replied as she did a 180 turn and walked away.
"What just happened here?" Sharpay asked after a few moments of shocked silence. She turned to glare at Chad who still was staring at the spot Taylor had been moments before. Jason slapped his shoulder.
"I-I don't know." Chad responded. He was positive she wasn't going to react like that.
"Good luck buddy." Jason said and walked away towards his own locker.
Ryan leaned a bit toward Chad who was staring back at Sharpay and whispered "I'd run if I were you."
Hope you all liked it. Thanks for reading and reviews would be appreciated!
