The Guys Next Door

Chapter 1

"Oh my god! I can't believe we're in the room next to them,!" squealed Taylor.

"Believe it," answered Gabriella, flopping on her bed. "You didn't plan to be here at the same time as them did you?"

"Of course not," lied Taylor.

Gabriella groaned and rolled her eyes, she knew she would have to spend the whole summer with her friends following them around.

Them being – Rebound. The hottest boy/man band of the moment. Who had recently had a hit album out, with an even bigger hit single 'Sudden and Unexpected'. Don't get me wrong Gabriella loved their music, she liked them but she hated her friends acting like fan girls.

This was meant to be a once in a lifetime, six week all exclusive – won – holiday that would now be spent following around four men, just because they could sing. On top of that her ex – Greg would not stop phoning her.

This room wasn't picked for them at random when Gabriella had gotten to the checkout desk their room had been double booked. The room 247 and it just happened that Rebound had rooms 247-255. Troy in 248, Chad in 249, Zeke in 250 and Jason in 251. With rooms 247 – for their publicist, 252 – for their manager, 253, 254 and 255 for the crew. However due to a family emergency their publicist had to fly home, leaving the room empty. The receptionist however was unsure about putting 'normal' people, ladies, on the same floor as Rebound. Until Troy had walked across the lobby and heard Gabriella shouting and asking why her and her friends couldn't have room 247. He had told the receptionist it was fine and walked off, leaving Gabriella wide eyed.

Troy had another motive for giving the girls the room. A couple of years previously Rebound had done a college tour and had stayed two nights at Stanford. He had seen Gabriella there and to this very day could not get her face out of his head. Also he had tracked her down, had been talking to her on IM and he had left her his phone number to rant and phone him, if her ex got too much. So he knew her voice and she knew his even if he tried to disguise it. So when he spoke to the receptionist, right next to her she knew he was her mysterious chat mate.

Taylor, Gabriella, Lexie and Kelsi had graduated from university two years ago but had won this holiday, on the radio, and decided to have it during summer holidays.

Now she spending six weeks in a hotel, avoiding her ex, following around the popstars and living next door to them and him - her mysterious chat mate.
