So this is the second chapter writing by me ( Prettykouka) so hopefully you'll like it, so please leave a review! :)

I don't own a thing of course, except for the plot, but make that what me and Demi own.

That night, Taylor let Gabriella unpack in Troy's room. The day before, they had tidied the room and left two of the drawers available and left room in the already filled cupboard.

Taylor had showed her around and she had familiarized herself with the entourage. Her room was nice, a little to boy-ish at her taste but she couldn't complain, she loved boy's stuff, and even if she was almost sixteen, she still loved boy stuff. She loved to skateboard, play soccer but her favorites were snowboarding and track.

The room had a simple window, near the bed, giving view on the nice field his parent's owned. They were away for a while she assumed, Taylor's grandparents taking care of Troy even if he spend most of his time at his own house. She had learn that from Taylor when she came over at her aunt's house.

Right after dinner, the three teenagers had decided to bike down to town, enjoying the freshness of the night. It was early July and here on the Island, it was the best time of the year, right after Christmas. They chatted about various things while biking, at some point the three of them raced through the streets, challenged by Troy. Gabriella arrived first at the gas station followed tightly by Troy. He gave her a high five despite the feeling of jealousy racing through him. He shook it all off at the though of hurting Taylor if he wasn't friendly with her best friend.

" Good job there!'' Troy said as he smiled at Gabriella. "I wouldn't think a girl would be so good at this''

She pulled out her tongue at him and added "You weren't too bad yourself''

Troy really smile this time. Maybe she's not too bad after all. Maybe this summer would actually be enjoyable even if she's here.

"Well Gaby is really good at this, I mean she bikes to school everyday the Lord puts here, and she never gets tired of it. She's a real sprinter when it comes to that. She even does track. She's like the best in our league''

And here it goes again, Troy though, Gabriella this, Gabriella that. I don't think I'll be able to stand this for the rest of the summer or whatever how long she'll be staying here. Evryting was just perfect before she arrived. She just had to ruin everything. Man! I hate her! I don't think I'll be able to keep it inside any longer.

"Oh please Tay. Stop. I'm not that good.''

At least she trying to be modest.

"Yeah right! You are totally the best. Stop lying. Plus if you weren't, what would all of those trophy of yours be for?''

Gabriella blushed at that and said nearly in a whisper "Yeah whatever.''

'' Anyways. What should we do tomorrow?'' she asked louder, excitement clearly on her face.

"Maybe we can go to the beach!''

"Oh! Totally I love beaches! I love walking in the sand and stuff.''

Yup, here it starts: I start feeling all alone again, it's like I never existed. Its like I didn't matter. It feels like Taylor is here, but at the same time not there. I don't feel her presence. All of that is because of that Gabriella Montez. She thinks she's all that, but she is that much of anything, I mean seriously, she isn't all that pretty. But it doesn't look like she's trying to be like all those other girls her age minus Taylor, but still. She could at least play the shy girl here! HUH!! Now they are making plans to go shopping at the shopping centre, I guess I'll stay home on that day. Man, my summer is ruined. I've lost my best friend.

''What about you Troy, what do you want to do tomorrow?'' Taylor asked.

Both eyes looked at the boy.

He shrugged.

"I think I'll do my morning jog early tomorrow morning as always. I have to stay in shape you know.''

They both nodded, but Troy was certain that Gabriella didn't know what he was talking about, only if Taylor had spoke to her about it, which was doubtful

"Maybe I can go with you! I love to run, plus I also got to stay in shape if I want to be in the soccer team this year.''

No! I don't want you to come! Troy felt like screaming, but of course he didn't, to afraid to hurt Taylor in the process. He didn't care about Gabriella's feelings. She had caused all this mess.

"Sure!'' he said trying to sound enthusiastic. "You coming?'' he asked Taylor. He knew she didn't enjoy sport like he did, but he still asked, just to make sure

But off course, she refused. "I think I'll stay in bed tomorrow. I'll prepare breakfast for you guys''

They both gave her a smile and they rode around town a while longer, Gabriella discovering place she hadn't been able to when she drove up to the Bolton's and McKessie's fields.

The sweet smell of summer accompanied them as they rode back, twilight becoming more persistent as they advanced in the night.

I hope you enjoyed this. Leave reviews! Thanks for reading.
