AN: Thanks to zanessalov3r, br00kel0veswildfire and roxygirlii1505 for reviewing on my last chapter. It meant a lot. This chapter is dedicated to you three!
Anyway, congrats Zac on getting the "Choice Breakthrough Actor" award at the MTV movie awards. I watched it, and Zanessa were so cute in the audience. Vanessa even gave Zac a kiss when they announced he won! Also, I read that after he got outside (from backstage doors) Vanessa was waiting for him, ran up to him, and gave him a hug! AAWW
Anyway, here's the next chapter!
Gabriella's P.O.V
Troy and I walked into the cafeteria hand in hand, going to breakfast. We had just been on a walk, touring the campus. We head some noises, and saw a bunch of rabbits coming out of the bushes. There were a lot of students already there. Troy had discovered the most amazing thing. His cabin is on the left, and mine was on the right (or the cabin complex). My room, however, was on the far left of my cabin, and his is on the far right. Troy found a door adjoining the two rooms. Last night he snuck into my room, and I fell asleep in his arms. It was almost like when he would sneak through my balcony at nighttime back in Albuquerque. The two of us approached the table, to find the entire gang already there (minus Jason, who was in London visiting relatives).
"Good morning sleepyheads." Chad greeted us. "Have a late night last night?" He said winking at Troy.
"CHAD!" Troy yelled while Taylor smacked him on the head. Troy and Gabriella had decided to keep the joining of the cabins a secret, so it could just be for them.
"Anyway, what took you guys so long?" Sharpay asked. Troy laced his fingers into mine.
"We were on a walk."
"SUURE!" Chad received another smack for this. "Hey! Watch the fro!" Everyone giggled. Troy and I sat down side by side.
When we finished eating our breakfast, Ms. Darbus and Coach Bolton stood up to make an announcement.
"Alright East High Students! Today we will be an all day hike and scavenger hunt. You will be working in your cabin complexes. I will be leading Cabin's 1 and 2, Ms. Darbus 3 and 4, Kiomo (camp Counselor) will be leading cabin's 5, 6 and 7 and Julie (another camp counselor) Cabins 8, 9 and 10. Please go get changed in clothes you will be comfortable in, no heels," he said looking straight at Sharpay, who lowered herself in her seat, "and be ready in front of your cabins in 10 minutes. You are dismissed." Everyone jumped out of their seats, excited for the day's activities.
10 minutes later, Troy, Sharpay, Zeke, Chad, Taylor, Ryan, Kelsi and I were waiting for Mr. Bolton. He arrived shortly.
"Glad you all were on time. Darbus was having trouble with hers." We al laughed. "Anyway, we will be hiking up north. Then for the scavenger hunt you will be put into pairs. Items are ranging from in campgrounds, to as far as the cliffs, which is where we will be going today. Let's start!" Coach Bolton walked, and we all followed. Troy laced his hand into mine, and we walked in comfortable silence. Then, he broke it.
"I have a strange feeling this is going to be an eventful day."
Unknown P.O.V"So tell me again, why are we waiting? Why not just grab the girl, kill her, and bring her body back to Troy?" My partner in crime was obviously not the sharpest crayon in the bunch.
"Because," I said emphasizing the word, "firstly, we don't know exactly what kind of a relationship Bolton has with the girl. She could just be another slut that he will do and then move on a week later. If that's the case, then she's no good. We need someone he cares about.
"But what about the ring we saw?"
"He could just be a player, creating tons of those." My partner nodded in understanding. "Look, we'll be spying on them, and we'll figure out exactly what their "relationship" is" I said putting relationship in air quotes. "If he is close to her, we'll snatch her."
"But they almost caught us today. I mean really, if it wasn't for that bunny running out, we would have been found out."
"We'll be more careful. For now, let's go on a hike." I said with a smirk.
Gabriella's P.O.VWe had been walking for an hour. The scenery was beautiful. Troy and I had hung back from the group, to talk privately.
"So Gabi how's your first official day at overnight camp?" Troy asked me.
"Honestly?" He nodded. "It's Amazing! I'm having a great time, and having the love of my life with me makes it all the better!" I said. He spun me around to face him, and kissed me square on the lips.
"I love you Gabi"
"I love you too, Troy." We kissed again, and then resumed walking. Eventually Coach Bolton stopped and turned to face the group.
"Well, we're at the spot. Take a look." We were at the top of a 60-foot cliff. The view was breathtaking. There was also a walkway leading to a ledge, which was only 30-feet high.
"Troy, look! Isn't it beautiful?" I asked him.
"Not as much as you." He replied kissing my hair. Chad again began making gagging sounds. I loved it when Troy said these kinds of things to me. It was his flirty charming side, which he says is only brought out when I'm with him.
"Aww, aren't you corny?" I responded to his comment in an equally flirty voice. Troy pressed a hand to his heart.
"Ouch, that hurts you know Gabi. Kiss it better." He playfully demanded. I willingly agreed, and kissed him on the chest directly above where his heart should be.
"Better?" I asked.
"Much."
"Alright people, now we start our scavenger hunt. It will be in pairs, and you guys are allowed to pick partners, seeing as you would probably switch anyway." Coach said eyeing his son. Troy blushed. Great of Coach to always interrupt Troy's and mine flirty moments. Troy put his arm around my shoulder, signaling that I was his partner. I giggled and laid my head against his chest. I was a full head shorter than him, and it came in handy. Coach handed us our list, and we walked away from the group.
"Shovel, Pinecone, CELL PHONE! Is this a joke? Ms. Darbus probably wants us to give her our cell phones so she can take them away! I laughed.
"So you want to risk losing?"
"If it means keeping my cell phone, yes." I eyed him. "Gabi, it's my only link to society and form of communication. I can't call you at night if I lost it."
"Okay then. But don't forget, we still have our secret door! Besides, it doesn't say what form the cell phone has to be in. We can draw one, and submit that!"
"You are just to smart."
"That's why you love me" I replied in a cocky attitude.
"I know" he replied with equal cockiness. We continued like this, flirting and laughing, until we had found all of the items on our list. Things were going well. The day was turning out to be perfect. Once everyone had found all their items, and had met back in the mess hall, we were free to do what we wanted. Troy and I had decided to go on a walk like we had in the morning, because it was calming and peaceful. We also just enjoyed spending time with each other.
"So, after dinner we have our camp fire, and then we can go back to the cabins, and talk. Right?" I asked him.
"Correct."
"I'm so excited Troy! This is going to be my first ever campfire! I can't wait; it's going to be amazing! We get to sing, dance and perform plays by the fire, while the fireflies and moon shine brightly around us!"
"Yup, all that and more. It's going to be a night that you'll never forget! I told you today was going to be an eventful day!"
AN: Well, there's the chapter! I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and tell me what you think. Is the story going well, or do you think I'm rushing the action a bit too much. Please tell me. I enjoy reading your reviews!
