So I really wished there were a lot more reviews but I guess I can't force you guys to do them for me! Well my computer is wanting to melt so I'm sorry for the spelling errors there will probably be but my Start bar thing disappeared and it already takes an hour for me to get the internet on here, so, my apologys!

Please, please review! Thank you so much!

Chapter 3:

The next morning proved to be a lot of fun. After the group had eaten breakfast, they decided to go out by the pool. The boys had a lot of fun with the diving board, trying to do tricks off of it while the girls laid out.

"Watch this dive." Chad told the guys as he winked at them. Sharpay had her eyes closed, just relaxing which meant Chad was going to get her good. He ran and jumped off the diving board, doing a cannon ball close to the edge, receiving a scream for bloody murder from a now wet Sharpay. Chad popped up out of the water, looking over at her innocently.

"Oops." He said to her laughing. The rest of the group laughed.

"Come on Sharpay, loosen up a little." Gabriella told her as the girls stood up, ready to get into the water.

"Loosen up a little?! I'm soaking wet." She complained, grumbling obscene things under her breath.

"Well, you're bound to eventually when you're near a pool. Come on, let's all play chicken or something." Gabriella shot back.

Sharpay was shocked. They wanted to include her in something? What? She looked curiously at the girls then at the boys in the water who wanted her to join as well.

"Please Sharpay, it'll be fun." Ryan begged her. He knew that when he would use please with her, that she couldn't leave him hanging. She sighed and then jumped into the water. The cold water rushed throughout her body only momentarily. She felt the presence of people on other side of her, knowing Gabriella and Taylor had jumped in on either side of her.

Once the three girls came up from the water is when the games started. Of course, the couples paired up and so the twins were partners. All the guys carried their girl partner on their shoulders as the girls wrestled with each other to topple the group. As it would be fair in most cases, every girl had won once each. We'll leave it at that since the boys were starting to get tired.

"How long have you guys had this place?" Troy asked curiously as they all hung around in the pool.

Sharpay and Ryan looked at each other, almost telepathically deciding how long it had been. "Maybe..three, four years?" Ryan asked, then was sure when Sharpay agreed with him.

"Daddy decided he wanted a place for Ryan and I to go whenever it was vacation time. They're busy a lot so it'd be too hard to go somewhere far." Sharpay finished explaining.

"This place is so cool." Chad said for probably the hundredth time they had been there so far. They all simply laughed at this then commenced into a splashing war.

Another hour or so in the pool and they decided to get out. There was a total of two showers and a bathtub in the cabin so it didn't take long for them to finish getting clean again. Well, I doubt any of the guys would take a bath and it was highly unlikely a girl would take a bath with a boy in the shower, so it took a little longer.

Ryan was in his room wondering what hat he should wear with his light blue outfit. He could wear the white one, the blue one, or the one with light blue swirls on a white hat. It was hard to pick! As he pondered this, his phone began ringing. He looked down at it in confusion. The number said private and he flipped it open, wondering if it was their parents. For some reason they ususally came up as private. "Hello?" He said into the phone as he looked in the mirror at which hat he wanted.

"Hello? Who is this?" Ryan asked, totally annoyed that this happened again. He didn't even think that it could be the same person. Just two coincidences.

"..."

Ryan groaned and closed his cell phone, deciding too that he'd wear his white hat with the blue touch. He adjusted it on his head and then walked out into the cooridor then down the steps.

As he jogged down the steps, he saw Troy and Chad in the dining room sipping on some sodas.

"Care if I join you?" Ryan asked politely as he entered the room.

"Nah, not at all." Troy answered as he moved to pull a chair out so Ryan could join them.

Ryan smiled his goofy smile as he took a seat next to him.

"So what are we going to do today?" Chad asked, obviously eager to check out all the other things they could do here.

"Well, I mean, it's completely up to you guys. Downstairs there's a pool table, dart board, ping pong table and exercise equipment. So, you can't get too bored here." He explained, counting off the different things they could do.

Ryan laughed lightly at the look of Chad's face. He evidently hadn't had a chance to look into the basement yet. Troy shared the laugh, he was almost dumbfounded.

"I so want to live here." Chad told them as he took a drink of his coke.

"You wouldn't want to live here." At the sound of another person, all three of the boys jumped slightly. The butler had pretty much popped out of no where.

"Why do you say that?" Troy asked him curiously as he handed Ryan a drink.

"Well, it get's hard to keep up with sometimes and for long periods of time, there's no one here so it's hard to find employment doing nothing." He hadn't meant to make it out to sound so rude but it was true. The workers got paid to keep it up but that wasn't needed every single day.

"You don't like it here?" Ryan asked, a little saddened by this.

"Master Evans, it's not you, it's just the odd demandings of the job." He explained to the young man.

"Please call me Ryan." Ryan was friends with all of the working staff, he hated be referred to by his last name. It was far too formal.

"My upmost apologizes, Ryan." He said, bowing slightly. He left the room shortly after.

"Where's the girls?" Troy asked, looking around curiously.

"I assumed they were down here since I hadn't heard anything when I was upstairs." Ryan told them, equally curious now.

The phone rang and since Chad was closest to it, Ryan nodded for him to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Seven Days."

Chad's eyes got big, quick as he looked at the other two. Troy and Ryan shared a look of confusion as they stared at Chad.

"What did you say?"

"Seven Days. Go to the living room."

The phone clicked dead and Chad now gaped at it.

"What?" Troy and Ryan pretty much said in unison.

"Seven days." Chad said as he turned the phone off.

"What?" Troy asked again, laughing this time.

"That's what they said." He stood up without another word, walking slowly towards the living room.

Troy and Ryan stood up, following their friend.

Chad walked slowly into the living room, scanning the room for anything out of the ordinary. He began to walk towards the back door when the television screen turned on. It was the static like screen.

"Dude! Look at that!" Chad freaked as he pointed to the television, looking back at Troy and Ryan. Troy and Ryan had already seen what was coming by the kitchen.

As Chad turned back around to look at the television, the girls began to slowly creep into the living room. Taylor snuck up behind Chad, beginning to grab his shoulders.

"GOTCHA!" She yelled as she grabbed his arms. He jumped as high as one could and spun around.

Everyone in the room, minus Chad, busted out in laughter.

"Not..cool." Chad breathed as he held his chest. "So, not cool."

"That was amazing." Troy told the girls as they came out from their hiding area.

"Wasn't it though?" Sharpay replied as she walked over and took a seat on the couch. She had the remote in her hand and she turned the television off.

Taylor hugged Chad from behind. "Uh-uh. None of that." He told her as he pulled from her grip. Of course he was just being sarcastically angry. He couldn't be mad at them, it was a good prank afterall.

"Hey Ryan, have you talked to mommy and daddy?" Sharpay asked, turning in her seat to see her brother.

"No, I haven't, why?" He asked curiously, coming closer to her.

"Well, because I'm sure they must have tried to call earlier but I don't think the call went all the way through. I couldn't hear anything." Sharpay complained, pulling out her phone.

"Do you think it was them? That did happen to me earlier."

"I'm not sure. I tried calling back but they didn't answer." She just shrugged, forgetting about it. If they needed them badly enough, they would get a hold of them."

Ryan shrugged it off as well, knowing they'd call the private house line if they were needed.

Chad stood up. "You know, payback is going to own. You guys just wait." He told the group as he went towards the stairs.

"Hey man, where are you going?" Troy asked his best friend.

"I'm going to go plot a little bit. They're so not going to get away with that."

The remaining group looked around a little confused but just let it go.

"It's Chad. He's just going to cool off from being embarassed, he'll be fine."

They decided to go downstairs for a little bit to hang out. The girls tried to play pool while Ryan and Troy played ping pong. Troy was an athlete but Ryan was a secret beast at certain things. We know he's pretty sweet at baseball and he's tight at ping pong. It's true, he was able to school Troy in ping pong.

An hour or so later, Taylor spoke up. "Hey, don't think you Chad would have attempted pay back or gave up by now?" She asked, a hint of worry in her voice.

"You're right, even Chad's too A.D.D. to plot this long." Troy agreed with a frown on his face.

They walked up stairs and began to look around for him, carefully going around corners to make sure he didn't pop up anywhere.

"Chad, hey dude where are you?" Troy called as he jogged up the stairs. Everyone checked the bedrooms but he wasn't anywhere.

"He's really good at this." Gabriella said to Troy as they all met back down in the main staircase area.

Troy pulled his phone out, pressing the call button twice since he was the last called person on his phone. Troy shushed the group as he listened intently to listen for the phone to ring.

They all lightly heard a ringer going off upstairs. They ran up the stairs, following Troy to Taylor and Chad's room.

Looking around confused, they listened from where the song was coming from. Troy laid on his stomach, moving the hanging blanket from the bed to look under the bed.

Under the bed was a forgotten cell phone, showing that Troy was calling.

Cliffhanger-ish. I hope you guys liked it. I'm starting to get in my head how this story is going to work out. So the trailer part will be a little rearranged, I'm sure it'll be okay!

Like I said, my computer is messed up so I can't get to the program to show me my spelling errors and I don't feel like looking for them.

Please, please, please review. Thank you soo much!!
