At first, I want to say THANK YOU sooo much for reviewing 'NoSelfConfidence' it literally made my day, so thanks guys, really. Also, the last weeks in school have been really stressful and hard for me. So I can't really write much. I try, I swear, but every time I'm trying to write I either have a writer's block or I forgot some homework. Further, I'm really glad you like NS, I have some great ideas for it, so just be patient, I know you guys can do it. And for the meanwhile, I have a little something got you, guys. This is called "Soccer camp"

My little brother inspired me on this one.

This is only going to be, like, four or five chapters, I already wrote ahead of it ; ). Enjoooyyy : D

So let me hear what you think.

Thanks for everything!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, as always!


"Is everybody ready to leave?" Troy Bolton, 22 years old, called out to everyone, while leaning on his black Audi A6.

"Yes Troy." All the boys called out and I just stood in front of the passenger's door of Troy's car. I had to ride with him, because all the other cars were already full. My brother Lucas and his best friend Chase drove with us.

Troy Bolton was the coach of the soccer team where my brother played. He was good with the kids I had to give him that, he knew how they clicked. Also he was one heck of a soccer player. He had the number 14 like my brother and I silently thought that Troy gave it to him because he just knew how good Lucas was. I noticed that Troy and Luke have a more special relationship than the others. I don't know why, but I think Troy likes him because he is just as relaxed and cool as him.

My brother is 9 years old and I, I became currently 20. I was a freshman at U of A. I'll start my sophomore year after this summer and Luke will attend the fourth grade. I have to admit I miss him the most, but I am glad I can come home on weekends, so I don't miss out on the games. I am a huge fan of soccer. I play myself, and once in a while I play against Luke. It's still fun, because I am still better than him. That's good for my ego. Wink.

We're on our way to the soccer camp Troy organized. He will be a senior at U of A and he is the captain of the school team. Oh, did I mention that Troy and I never talked to each other properly?..Well, we never did. Only a 'Hi' and 'Bye'. I have a feeling he doesn't like me, but I, sadly, have a crush on him, like every other female in college. I know I don't have any chances mainly because he has a girlfriend, if you can call Christi that. Really, they have an "On and off relationship" and it's pissing me off. One day their all horny and the next week their not even looking at each other. Confusing, right?

The soccer camp is only possible because I decided I'll join them. If I didn't volunteer all the kids would be disappointed so I just said I'd come. It's not like I regret my decision, it's just that I don't know how to treat Troy.

"Alright then, let's hit it." He announced and stepped into his car. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and told myself to relax. I counted to three and then stepped into the car myself.

"Gabs, can I have your IPod please." Luke asked from behind.

I turned to him with a knowing smile. "Of course, wait a moment." I ducked through my oversized purse and finally found it. "Here," I said and handed it to him. One minute later, Chase spoke up.

"Gabsi, do you have my PSP?"

I laughed silently to myself and handed it to him without any complaints. "Sure."

20 minutes later, I was bored of looking out of the window so I decided I'll read some. I pulled 'Eclipse' by Stephanie Meyer out of my purse and began to read somewhere, seeing as I already read this book like three times.

"What's this?" a manly voice spoke up, startling me. I turned my head to look at Troy and was slightly shocked. Did he just talk to me?

"Err, this is…a book?" I told him but it sounded more like a question.

He chuckled lightly and shook his head. "I know that, I meant what are you reading." Oh. Now I got it.

"Have you heard of Twilight?" I asked him and when he nodded I continued. "That is the third book of the series," I added and smiled slightly at him.

"Alright. So you like it?" Troy asked.

"Yes, it's cool," I replied.

After that I began to read again but got interrupted again.

"You're going to U of A right?"

"I do. I'll be a sophomore after this summer," I explained to him.

"Cool. I am there too. How come I never see you around on campus?" he asked curiously.

"Don't know?" I responded timidly and shyly.

He chuckled slightly again. "Alright," he added and concentrated on the road again. "I think it's cool that you and Luke have such a great relationship," he started and startled me again. Could he stop that?

"Ehm, thank you, I guess. You have a great relationship with all of them."

He smiled. "I have to have that. If not it wouldn't be too good, right?"

"I guess," I responded and cleared my throat because I was beginning to feel awkward.

"Thank you," he told me sincerely and I just looked at him, confused.

"For what?" I asked and looked at him expectantly.

"If you wouldn't have come with us, then all of them would have been very disappointed, so thanks for joining us," he explained and smiled at me for a second before his crystal eyes were back on the road ahead of us.

"You're welcome, besides, when Luke asked me if I would do that, I couldn't say no even if I wanted to. He has those damn puppy dog eyes I taught him that I can't resist. Also I love soccer, so there is really no problem," I declared and looked in the review mirror only to be confronted with two sleeping little guys. I giggled silently and shook my head.

"What's so funny?"

"We aren't even driving for half an hour and they are already off to dreamland," I responded.

Troy looked in his review mirror and noticed the same thing. "They have to rest very well, because we aren't going on vacation here," he informed me with a very deep voice, trying to sound bad. But that didn't go as planned, it sounded rather funny. So I started laughing and soon after he joined me. "Don't laugh at me, Gabriella. It's not even funny," he complained and I just laughed harder. "Stop it, or you'll regret this and I will throw you in the outdoor pool they have," he threatened and I immediately stopped laughing.

"You're kidding right?"

And the next thing I knew, he was laughing at me. Yeah, right.


"Luca, Lucas, Chase, Julian, Justin and Theo will be in this cabin and the others will be in this one. Everything clear?" All the little guys nodded. "We'll meet again in thirty minutes for our first session. The last one has to run 2 laps," he added and headed off to our cabin.

Yes, you heard right. OUR cabin. We have to share. Well, in a dream it would be fantastic to share a cabin with him, but in reality? It's not even close to fantastic. I walked slowly after Troy and opened the door to the cabin. I was confronted with a half naked Troy Bolton and I could swear he chuckled at me, because my eyes bulged out of my eye sockets. How embarrassing? You have no fucking idea.

"Like what you see?" he teased and I looked away quickly. "You don't have to be embarrassed Brie, we are sharing a cabin here, it's most likely we'll see each other naked," he added and grinned at me cockily. That was a joke right?

I cleared my throat and closed the door behind me. "Sure," I responded and shook my head after that. Great response Gabs.

"Okay, so this will be a one hour long training outside, if you wanna join us you have to hurry Brie," he informed me and I think my eyes began to twinkle. I was secretly hoping I could join the little boys. Yey.

"I'll be there," I said enthusiastically and ran to my suitcase. Grabbing my long black sweat pants and my favorite t-shirt from the LA Lakers I walked out of the room and locked it behind me. Lucas has the same, only in his size, of course, I wonder if he'd wear it too.

Troy was already out of the room and I could change me without any complications. Walking down the little hallway where our cabins where, I walked out of the building and onto the huge soccer area. I'm beginning to think this place is going to be awesome. "Come on, Gabsy, or you'll miss our warm up," Chase shouted at me while running by me with his, I assumed, forgotten water bottle in his right hand. I jogged after him and joined in the little circle the team had formed.

"Welcome to our first training session," Troy announced to us and smiled at everyone, even me. "This is not going to be a vacation, I'm expecting you all to concentrate whenever we have training," he cleared for everyone. "This session is only lasting an hour and after that we are all going to shower and then head over to the cafeteria to have our dinner and after that, I have a surprise for all of you," Troy informed us. "So now, I want you all to run 4 laps. I don't want you to sprint, just jog and relax," he went on and then everyone started to run. I was the last one, seeing as I liked to jog on my own or with Lucas, but Lucas was a little bit preoccupied and I understood that completely.

Even though I was the last one to start the 4 rounds, I quickly caught up with some of the boys. I slowed my pace and still jogged behind them. I didn't want them to feel confronted by me. I looked around me and discovered a little forest path which I'm going to run tonight, I decided. Not paying attention I walked into a hard rock chest. When I looked up I found Troy starring at me, bemused with our little crash. "It's not funny, what are you doing here anyways? I was trying to run my four laps," I told him.

"Well this was already your sixth one so I decided to stop you like this seeing as you didn't react to my screaming," he replied and walked back to the little kids. Some of them were panting already from this unit, but Luke and Chase were just drinking some water.

I took my own bottle and drank some of it. Then sitting down on the ground, the sun was shining down on us and I just wanted to enjoy it. "Gabs, what are you doing?" Luke asked from behind me and came to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "I'm not doing anything."

"That's the problem, come on, Troy is waiting for you," he informed me and pulled me up by my hands.

"Alright, now, I want you all to dribble the ball around those hats and then shoot." He told the team and I stood on the side. I didn't want to join them in this one. This was actually something the team liked to do, so I didn't want to disturb them. "Brie?" Troy called out and I walked to him. "Would you pass the ball back to them, so they have to actually pass the ball correctly before they can shoot the ball."

I nodded and walked to the spot Troy wanted me to stand and began to pass the ball with the little guys. I didn't just pass the ball back; I changed the passes here and there, considering the qualities of all the boys. Lukas's was his right foot. Chase's his left and with Julian I gave him a high ball.


After that, everyone went back into their cabin and we had half an hour to get ready for dinner. I decided to shower.

With my eyes closed and the water pouring onto the hard ground I didn't hear Troy coming into our cabin. So when I walked out with only a towel covering my body, and opened my eyes, I saw him starring at me. "Like what you see?" I used the line he did earlier with me and smiled at him before grabbing my clothes and heading back into the bathroom. Leaning against it with a huge grin on my lips.

"You're making this easier than I thought!" he called out.

I opened the door again and stuck my head out. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked him.

"Well, you know, earlier I said that we are going to see each other naked sooner or later and when you are running around, only covered with a towel,.." he trailed of and I laughed at him.

"I don't think you'll rip it of me, so I think we're safe," I winked at him and closed the door again.

And I swear I heard him saying. "No promises."


"That's awesome, Troy," All the little guys told him as they saw the surprise Troy had promised them. We were standing on a Go-card racetrack and everybody would drive one go-card and the losers had to serve the winner's tomorrow morning their breakfast. Great, right? I thought so too.

The guys ran each to one of the go-cards and climbed into them, of course, they had all helmets on. Lukas was smiling widely and I could tell he was more than excited.

"So Brie, the loser has to serve the winner tomorrow morning right?" he started and I nodded in response. "Well, what do you think about a little race just between the two of us. The loser has du serve the winner his breakfast," he repeated and I smiled knowingly. I happen to be very good at it. My dad used to go with me to go-card racetracks so you can say I am familiar with those things.

"You're on Bolton," I challenged him and I stretched my hand out for him to take it, he took it without hesitation. My tiny hand fell into his big one and they fitted perfectly. I shivered slightly and took my hand out of his firm but yet soft hold.

We first watched the team racing each other and the losers happened to be, Chase, who had to serve Lukas; Justin, who had to serve his big brother Julian, Luca, who had to serve Theo.

Troy and I climbed into the cards and positioned us on the starting line. All the guys were looking from the outside of the racetrack. "You sure about this, Brie?" he yelled over the noise the engines made.

I smirked at him. "Let's do this!" The lights shined green and I pushed the gas pedal down, we agreed on 3 rounds so it would be fair. I was the first one to come out of the first round, then Troy caught up with me in a tricky corner and he came out as the winner in the second round, and in the last round, I caught up with him at the exact place and I was the first one to cross the finish line. I climbed out of the card and took off my helmet, while shaking my hair out because it was probably sticking at places it shouldn't be. I was smiling widely and Lucas ran over to me, hugging me tightly. Troy shook his head and walked over to me too. "I like my eggs scrambled, Bolton," I told him with a grin and walked away with Luke. I looked over my shoulder again, only to see Troy staring at me and smiling dreamingly. I tried to ignore the butterflies developing in my stomach.


Later on, I was sitting on the couch, reading another book. I tried to bring as many books as I could. Wink. I heard Troy coming out of his shower, but I didn't glance at him once, I only noticed the couch sunk when he sat on it as well. He looked at me, I could tell and I smiled softly. "What?" I asked loudly and I could tell it startled him a little bit. Ha, there you get it. Two can startle the other one.

"Nothing, I'm still a little bit shocked that you won, but I guess I am okay," he informed me and I laughed.

"This wasn't something you're used to, right?" I asked with a grin.

He smiled back. "No, normally all the girls I know aren't even interested in any kind of sport. Well, except Christi," he told me and my smiled turned into a frown. He didn't notice, I hope.

"So, you and Christi are still…?" I trailed off and he looked at me funnily.

"What do you mean?" he asked oblivious.

"Well, you know all the rumors that are going around campus..." I replied and looked at the cover of my book.

"Please, enlighten me about those rumors, because I don't know any rumors. I guess, if the rumor is about you, you're the last one who knows about it, right?" he tried to lighten the mood, but the topic Christi was getting on my last nerve.

"Well, about your so called "on and off relationship", you know."

"Ahhh," he said loudly and laughed slightly. "My 'on and off relationship' with Christi," he repeated. "Well, there isn't much to tell, there isn't whether an on or an off relationship between me and her right now, or will ever be again, because I ended things completely," he told me. "I was getting sick of her attitude towards my friends and towards my sport, so I ended it. Maybe, she is hot and clever, but I don't like her anymore, besides, my focus lies somewhere else right now," he said while grinning cheekily at me.

"Oh, well, that's cool." I tried to cover my excitement. I smiled softly and him and yawned. "I guess I'm going to bed, I want to wake up early tomorrow," I said and walked to our double bed.

"What are you doing tomorrow morning?" he asked.

"Well, I saw this little path leading into the forest and I wanted to jog around a little bit, you know, discovering this place a little bit. Is it a problem if my clock is ringing around 6 am?" I announced and he chuckled.

"I'm gonna kill you, Brie," he joked and I laughed. I noticed that he was carrying his blanket and pillow onto the couch. "What are you doing?"

"I'm sleeping on the couch?" he said but it sounded more like a question to me. "Is that a problem?"

I shook my head at him. "Of course, this couch is probably the most uncomfortable couch I've ever sat on, get your ass in the bed, Bolton, and because I'm not gonna let you sleep on it," I commanded and he obliged immediately.

"You sure about that, I mean, it's really no problem, Brie," he made sure and I shook my head again.

"This bed is big enough to fit the both of us, don't be a chicken, Troy, I'm not gonna bite you, I promise," I winked at him and he chuckled again.


My clock began to ring at 6 am sharp. I felt a warm body pressed up against my backside and a protective arm around my waist. I looked over my shoulder, trying not to move too much. I saw Troy sleeping peacefully behind me. I smiled softly at him and tried to lift his arm from my waist, but as I did so, he only tightened his grip on me, making me sigh. I grabbed my phone that was laying on the nightstand and turned on a random song that I had on my phone and held it near his ear.

He woke up immediately, but I expected him to pull away from me, not burying his head in my neck. He breathed in my scent and I closed my eyes in pleasure. God, if he'll continue doing things like this I can't guarantee for anything. "Mornin'," he murmured and I just giggled slightly.

I turned around so I was facing him and when he finally noticed our position, he shot up and scratched his neck in embarrassment. "Um, sorry?" he apologized and I stood up from the bed.

"It's alright, I'm used to it," I lied and smiled evilly as he looked a little bit taken aback. I don't even know why I just said that.

"What do you mean by that? You're used to this? So you do have a boyfriend?" he asked really interested.

"I guess, you underestimate me, Bolton," I told him and giggled, walking into the bathroom to get ready for the day. I changed into my morning clothes and washed myself. Then I walked out again only to be pressed against the closed bathroom door.

"You underestimate me too, Montez. I will find out whether you like it or not," He announced and I smiled widely at him.

"What exactly are you going to find out?" I asked and he looked a little bewildered at my question.

"Well, I want to find out why you just said this, you know, that you wake up with an arm around your waist and this stuff," he responded.

"I guess you misunderstood me. I never said anything of an arm around my waist," I replied and he glared at me playfully. I noticed that he was in his jogging attire and as I ducked under his arm and ran out of the building, he was following me and chasing me around. But I guess he didn't know that I was pretty fast.

I giggled and laughed the whole time he was chasing me and he was too. We were on the soccer field and when he finally caught up to me I fell onto the ground with him on top of me. "I'm getting this idea," I started, getting his attention. "That you like having your arms around my waist." I teased him and laughed as he tickled me. "P-Pleas-se st-stop, Troy!" I called out and screamed a little. I am ticklish, very much so.

"Mh, what do I get out of this if I let you go?" he asked me and I grinned.

"Well—," I started to say but got interrupted by water splashing on us. Oh no, the sprinklers! We were getting soaked, but we didn't care that much. We were still laughing and running around, he chasing me. He picked me up and twirled me around a little bit before setting me on the ground again.

"I'm glad you joined us," he said passionately and locked his eyes with mine.

"Me too," I responded and smiled softly at him. His hand came up to my cheek and caressed it softly. He leaned into me some more and when his eyes left mine and stared at my lips, my phone rang. My fucking phone ruined this; I swear I'm going to throw it away after this conversation with… I peeked at the caller ID and saw Sharpay's face flashing onto the screen, I can't believe her, and she really does have the worst timing in the world.

"What, Shar!" I just about yelled into my phone and I heard her gasp.

"Whoa, Gabriella Montez, what's gotten into you?" she asked and I laughed. "No really," she continued. "Who are you and where did you leave my Gabi?" she said with a serious tone.

"I'm me, Shar, don't flip," I answered and rolled my eyes. "So, what's up?" I asked, trying to move our conversation to an end.

"I just wanted to ask how everything is going. Can't a best friend ask her best friend how she and her crush are cooperating?" Sharpay teased and I blushed. Urgh, damn.

"I knew it." I screamed. "You're such a little tease, Shar," I informed her, "But sadly, I have to go, because a certain guy is waiting for me, if you know what I mean, so if you'll excuse me, I have to go. Bye. See ya, hon," I closed my phone and shook my head at it. I will call her back soon. I looked up and was met by a pair of blue orbs practically grinning back at me.

"A certain guy is waiting for you, huh?" he repeated and I could feel his hot breath against my cheek. I nodded my head and locked my brown eyes with his.

"Yes, I think Luke will be waking up soon and I want to be the first one to sit at our breakfast table so a certain loser can bring me my breakfast," I responded with a smug grin and disappeared from his view, walking into the lobby and finally making it to our room. Nice, Montez.

Love you, guys.
