A/N: So, here's the next story guys! The main focus is going to be Ryan and Gaby's complicated relationship but the others are going to be really involved as well. Also some storylines that I started in the summer fic are going to be a lot more predominant in this one. Hope you all like it!

It had been two weeks since school had started and Ryan Conway was getting used to sleeping over at the Portman's. Dean was usually busy helping Jared get around so he never noticed when Ryan snuck into Gaby's room.

He slowly opened his eyes and smiled when Gaby snuggled up closer to him. He held her close and kissed her head.

"Morning baby," He said and she smiled.

"Mm, I am loving this whole waking up in your arms thing," She said and he laughed. "Come here," She said, pulling him into a kiss. The kiss grew more heated and they rolled over on the bed. Gaby moaned as he kissed her neck but her eyes widened when she looked at the clock.

"Is that the time?!" She asked, pushing him off her and jumping out of bed.

Ryan looked over at the clock. "Shit!" He said, getting up as well. "I gotta be home," He said and she nodded as they both started getting dressed. He walked over and quickly pecked her forehead. "I'll see you tonight." He said but before walking away she grabbed him and kissed him hard on the mouth.

"Love you." She smiled and he did too as he walked over to the window.

"I love you too, Gaby."

Once he got to school, Ryan spotted Jared and immediately walked over to him.

"Hey, man, you're back?" Jared nodded, smiling.

"I still gotta wear this stupid thing, though," He said, pointing the cast on his foot. Lenaing on his crutches he shrugged. "But I'll be in tip top shape for hockey season, don't you worry."

Ryan laughed. "Alright, I'll pass the message onto Captain 'I spend all my time with my girlfriend, Jade,'" He said and Jared laughed. "See you later, man."

Jared nodded and Ryan walked off. He turned around and spotted Sophia walking towards her locker. She looked over at him and he smiled at her but she simply shrugged and looked away.

Jared sighed, this was going to be a long year.

Jen was walked through the halls, carrying her books, trying to find her new locker. She had a cast on her right arm so it was almost impossible to carry her books around school, but apparently, there wasn't anyone who wanted to help her.

Spotting her locker number, she walked over to it but accidently dropped one of her books. She reached down to grab it but a group of freshmen tripped over it.

"Ugh, what the hell!" The leader of the group said, flipping her long brown hair. Jen rolled her eyes and stood up, she couldn't believe she used to be one of these girls. "How about you watch where you drop your stuff next time, freak?"

Jen frowned. "Excuse me, you can't talk to me like that," She said and the girl looked at her. "Do you even know who I am?"

"Jennifer Reed," One of the other girls said. "You used to be popular but then you turned into a crack whore."

Jen gasped and was about to throw a punch at the girl when someone came between them.

"Jen, stop," Her face softened when she realized it was Andy. This was the first time he'd spoken to her in months.

The girls scattered away and Jen narrowed her eyes at them. "Yeah, you better run, you little bitches!" She shouted and Andy laughed. "Why did you stop me? I so could have taken down those sluts!"

"Well, first of all," He said, taking her books for her. "That was Brooke Vanderbilt, her dad practically owns this school and could have you expelled in a second," He told her and she rolled her eyes. "And second of all, you just got out of the hospital, I don't want you to hurt yourself.

"You still care about me," She smiled and he sighed. "Come on, admit it! If you didn't care, you wouldn't have been holding my hand at my bedside when I woke up!"

"I was just trying to get you to come back," He told her and she shook her head. "I'm with Sophia now, Jen, you have to accept that."

"Oh, I do," She nodded. "But it doesn't mean you don't care about me."

"Bye Jen." He said, walking away.

"Bye-bye Andy." She waved, smiling. "This is gonna be a good year."

Gaby sighed as she sat at her desk. She'd been teaching at this elementary school for two weeks and she still couldn't keep the kids under control.

"Angie, sweetie, don't throw blocks at Steven's head, it's not nice!" She shouted, but the five year olds continued running around, causing chaos. Gaby sighed and brought her face into her hands. Maybe she wasn't cut out for this.

Just then, a big man in a frog costume came walking in.

"Hey, kids!" He said, loudly and all the kids turned to him.

"It's Fernando the Frog!" One of the kids shouted, and they all ran towards him.

Gaby was shocked, where did this guy come from?

She turned around to the door and smiled when she saw Tyler Vanderbilt walking in.

"He's a buddy of mine and he needed a gig so I thought the best kindergarten teacher in the world could use a little bit of a break," He smiled and she hugged him close.

"Thank you so much, Ty," She said and pulled away. "You're the best you know that?"

He smiled, proudly. "Well, that's what they say."

She laughed. "What are you doing here, though? I mean, I thought you were working at your Dad's place?"

"Turns out, having your dad be your boss means getting to take the day off," He said and she gave him a look. "Okay, fine, I took my lunch break a little earlier today, but I wanted to hang out with my favorite ex-girlfriend so it was worth it."

She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, watching the kids interact with Fernando the Frog. "Best. Ex-boyfriend. Ever." She whispered and he laughed, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
