My Love

My Love

Chapter 1

Look up the word love in a dictionary, and it will define it as a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude towards a person. But those who have felt love, will define it as so much more. Love is a feeling unexplainable. Something so extraordinary, that words would never describe it, the way a dictionary does.

Love is when you look into the eyes of a person, and can actually see into their soul. It's when you meet someone, and immediately knows, that you have to spend every living second with that person. It's when you can't imagine your life without that person, and you would rather die, than have to. Love is when the touch of the other's skin beneath your hand, or the touch or their lips, is everything you need to keep yourself breathing.

Love is when you are at a crowded place, full of hundreds of people, and when you catch the other persons eyes, you're the only two people left on earth. Love is when you know you wont need anyone else, because as long as you have that person, everything is right in the world. Love is when you wish to stand on top of the tallest building, or the highest mountain, and scream out everything you're feeling inside, and even though you tried, it still wont explain just exactly what it is.

Love is when you wake up a Sunday morning, to come face to face with a bunch of messy hair, and drool on your pillow, and you still can't imagine someone else right there, because no matter how that special person looks, it'll always be perfect to you. Love is when you can sit forever, and just stare into each others eyes, and barely breathe. It's when you feel like a missing puzzle piece without that special someone, or like a movie with no end.

Love was exactly what Zeke Baylor felt for Sharpay Evans.

He was just a regular guy. He played basketball and he loved to bake. He lived in a house with his mom, dad and little sister. They didn't have that much money, but they were happy, and they all loved each other. It was all great, and his life was perfect, until he walked into homeroom that one fateful morning and laid eyes on her.

Sharpay Evans.

She was everything. She was beautiful. The way her hair fell on her shoulders, and the way her eyes sparkled. She was smart in her own way, and knew stuff that no other student even thought about. She had a voice like an angel, whether she was yelling, talking or singing. It sounded good no matter what.

He loved the way she dressed, and the way she spoke. He loved the way she did her make-up, and the way she moved. He loved how she was so passionate about drama, and he even loved it when she yelled at him. But nothing could top how much he loved her.

Zeke's love for Sharpay was so deep, tender, and affectionate, that other people simply didn't understand him. His team-mates always questioned his love for the school's Ice Princess. They had no idea how he could love a girl like her, or even think about it. But on the other side, they also always got his back, when she turned him down, and he felt like a loser.

Everybody around him, could tell, that his love for Sharpay was something out of the ordinary. Everyone except Sharpay. She was oblivious to it all. She sauntered around in the hallways as always, and yelled at people to move. She did her hair and her make-up, and she danced around the school stage with her brother, with no care in the world.

But anyway, the minute he'd seen her that fateful morning, he had loved her. He walked straight into Jason's back, because his eyes were on her, the way the light hit her blonde locks. He had fallen for her right then, and he had loved her ever since. He thought about her every day, and every time he bake cookies, he pretend it's for her, and they're always full of love.

At times, he'd get the courage together and walk up to her, and ask her out. He always knew what the answer would be, but he always told himself, that this time, it'd be different. This time she'd actually give him a chance and not yell at him. She'd take his cookies for the love that they were, and go on a date with him. And after that, everything would just be perfect.

Today was no different. He'd made the cookies that he knew she loved, and was looking at her from across the hall. She was fixing her hair by her locker, and tried to figure out which shirt looked the cutest. It was either a sparkling pink one with pearls, or a sparkly white one with lots of glitter on. His odds were on the pink one with pearls, because it would match the pink stilettos she was wearing.

He slowly approached her, holding on tight to his cookies. He stopped behind her, slowly waiting for her to see him in her mirror. When she did, her eyes widened, and her lips curled into a mean smile, "What are you staring at, Baylor?"

"I was just wondering…" he begun, his smile fading as Sharpay closed her locker and turned to look at him, with those fiery eyes, "If you would like to go out with me sometime? We could eat dinner or do whatever?"
