DISCLAIMER: Sadly I do not own CSI NY or any of the characters, no matter how much I wish that Danny Messer was mine.
A/N: Let's play pretend again and imagine that all the CSI NY team ended up attending the same school and are seventeen years old; teen fic (cuz I'm hooked on the craze). This is in no way linked to Summer Friendships and Rivalry so you don't need to have read it to understand.
SUMMARY: Stella, Mac, Lindsay, Danny, Flack, Adam, Aiden, Sid, Hawkes and some of the other kids at Staten Island Academy are on a summer vacation with a few of the teachers but with all the different cliques feuding; their holiday could never be straightforward and when Danny's girlfriend cheats and he finds out, he has to decide whether to forgive her. Can Danny believe that his girlfriend still loves him or will he find help getting over her from an unlikely source?

Chapter 1 – The Start of Things to Come
When Mr Jenkins had sent them all home with permission letters to go on a nice, lakeside holiday, none of the kids had realised quite how bad things would get. There were several different cliques at Staten Island Academy, the main ones being: 'the Geeks', 'the Jocks', 'the Cheerleaders', 'the Airheads', 'the Punks/rockers' and 'the Class Clowns'.
'The Geeks' and 'the Class Clowns' often mixed as did 'the Jocks', 'the Cheerleaders', 'the Populars' and 'the Airheads' but they never mixed with those less popular. If a 'Jock' mixed with a 'Geek' then his popularity was instantly stripped from him as was whichever title he held at the time.
The teachers at Staten Island Academy however, didn't realise this and were blissfully unaware of the divide between their students. Because of the number of people who had gone, they had needed more than one chalet and although the teachers had been happy to split them into groups, the students had been less than impressed. Things were made even worse when they were told that there would be at least one teacher to each chalet for 'safety reasons'.
There were a total of six chalets all together and each had four, twin rooms and a double room which was designated to the teacher or teachers in charge. Most people were happy with who was in their chalet except of course, chalets one and two. In the first was: Lindsay and Sarah, Stella and Aiden, Mac and Adam, Brad and Jonathan and Mr and Mrs Johnson. Lindsay was dismayed at the fact that she was sharing with Sarah, Mr and Mrs Johnson's daughter and the bitchiest girl in school. Brad and Jonathan were incredibly annoyed at the fact that they couldn't share the same chalet as Danny and the rest of 'the Jocks'. Danny was in the second chalet with Don Flack, Brent and Liam, Sheldon and Sid, Clair and Melanie and Mr Jenkins. Sid and Sheldon were very uncomfortable with this arrangement as they were the only 'Geeks' and were surrounded by 'Populars' and 'Jocks'.
Only one thing could be certain about the holiday which was ahead of them…it was going to be interesting.

The first day was spent unpacking and exploring around the area in which they were staying. When they had finished unpacking, Lindsay, Stella, Mac and Adam decided to go for a walk by the lake whilst Aiden went across to the other chalet to keep Sheldon and Sid company.
"The thing I don't understand is why we've been stuck with them." Stella raised an eyebrow and Mac let out a small laugh.
"I know why couldn't we share with Sheldon and Sid?" Adam Ross had been best friends with Sheldon Hawkes since they had met on the first day of high school and had later realised that they only lived a few streets away from each other.
"Because Mrs Johnson gets off on splitting us lot up, we're lucky she kept some of us together." Lindsay had been the last one to join their group as she had transferred from Montana when her father had gotten a new job in New York. "I'm sure she knows how much her daughter hates me; that's why I have to share a room with her."
"Well we'll just have to put up with them won't we; there isn't really anything we can do about it." Mac was always the voice of reason; he tried his best to keep the peace and prevent arguments.
"Shame." He turned to look at Stella, who innocently smiled, and rolled his eyes. "So, what d'you guys fancy doin' 'cuz I'm not seein' where the fun in this holiday is gonna come from?" She looked around at the lake and the other cabins, sighing to herself.
"You never know, tomorrow might be cool." Mac, once again trying to lighten the mood, smiled down at her and she looked uncertainly at him. "Well today is for settling in and stuff, tomorrow should be better."
Sighing in defeat, she nodded and wrapped an arm around his waist. "I guess so." Mac and Stella had always been close friends though Lindsay suspected that this was because they both had secret crushes on each other. Stella always denied this when Lindsay raised the subject but she couldn't have made it anymore obvious if she had tried.
They walked along the lake in a comfortable silence until Mac spoke up again. "We could always go back to the cabin and ask Mr Johnson if we can have some of the sporting stuff…we could play 'Rounders'." He looked out at the water and waited for them to protest but was pleasantly surprised when Adam nodded.
"Yeah, beats walking round doin' nothing."
"Hmm, we don't have enough people for one team though let alone two." Stella was the one who brought them back down to earth on the idea.
"Well, why don't we play 'Horse'?" Lindsay raised an eyebrow in question and Mac slowly nodded.
"Yeah, we could do; what do you guys think?" He looked from Stella to Adam then back again as both of them nodded.
"Sure, sounds like a plan but I suggest we ask Mr Johnson not Mrs Johnson." Stella agreed with Adam and they set off for the chalet, their day somewhat more planned out than before.

"Danny I'm bored." Clara whined as she sat on Danny's bed, watching him hang up his clothes in the wardrobe.
"Look, I'm nearly done babe; we can do whatever you want as soon as I put this stuff away." He was sharing a room with Don Flack and Flack simply rolled his eyes as Danny once again did as his girlfriend told him. Clara and Danny had been dating for five months and he completely adored her but everyone, except Danny, could see that she was using him. Clara was one of 'the Populars' but she had only gotten into that group because she had started dating Danny who was head of the basketball team.
"Kay but hurry up." Batting her eyelashes at him, she offered him a flirtatious smile and he smiled back.

"Okay, I see you and raise you a chocolate digestive." Sid added his biscuit to the stack already on the table and waited.
Aiden meanwhile, took one look at her cards and threw them down on the table. "Too rich for me."
Sheldon studied his for a while before smirking and adding an Oreo to the pile. "Your turn."
Sid opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Mr Jenkins. "Can't you three find something else to do?" They looked up at him confused and he sighed. "I will not have you gambling in my cabin."
"But we're only using biscuits." Aiden's voice was annoyed and defensive and he shook his head. "Why?"
"It's still gambling." The three moaned but he pointed to the door defiantly. "Go on, go and play outside; it's a lovely day."
"Go and play outside?" He nodded and Sid rolled his eyes. "We're not kids, we're seventeen."
"Very well, go and hang out someplace else." The three teens sighed but stood up and left the chalet as Mr Jenkins tried to hide a bemused smile. He then looked down at the table and smiled before picking up the Oreo and heading for his room.
Once outside, Sheldon, Aiden and Sid looked around at the lake then at each other. "What now?" Aiden was the first to speak and Sheldon shrugged in answer to her question.
Sid however, looked around and noticed that Mac was putting the basketball net up at the side of his chalet. "We could always go and see what they're up to." He gestured with his head to the net and both Aiden and Sheldon nodded.
When they reached the other villa, Aiden walked over to Stella and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey whatcha doin'?"
Stella turned to face her and smiled. "Playin' Horse, you in?" Aided nodded and Stella asked Sid and Sheldon if they were joining in as well. They agreed too and pretty soon, the seven of them were immersed in the game.

Most of 'the Jocks' had gone 'walking' with their girlfriends though Mr Jenkins wasn't stupid and suspected that they had gone and found quiet spots to make-out. He kept quiet however, content on sitting on the veranda with his biscuits and binoculars; occasionally brushing a finger over his grey moustache to dislodge any crumbs.
Most of the teachers were sitting on the grass by the lake outside Mr Jenkins' cabin, the men were fishing and the women were reading books or talking amongst themselves but Mr Jenkins was an avid bird-watcher and he had been waiting for this holiday; it was the perfect opportunity to test out the new binoculars and 'Birds and You' book which his wife had gotten him for Christmas.
It was nice and peaceful but some of the adults had a sinking feeling that it wasn't going to last and when Aiden accidentally let go of her ball and it flew backwards and hit Mrs Johnson on the head, all hell broke loose. Turning around, Mrs Johnson's eyes were filled with fury and Aiden winced; she knew what was coming. "Aiden Burn, you have some serious explaining to do!"
