I see you, beside me,

It's only a dream,

A vision of what used to be,

The laughter,

The sorrow, pictures in time,

Fading to memories

How could I ever let you go?

Is it too late to let you know?

I tried to run from your side,

But each place I hide it only reminds me of you

-Only Reminds Me Of You by MYMP


GABRIELLA MONTEZ:

If you consider all the shit that happened to me for the past two-three months, you would think it would be sorda weird for me to be horny. But seriously, I have needs and those needs aren't exactly being fulfilled, and it's my entire sister's fault.

Which kinda sucks, because sisters are supposed to help each other, not make them suffer to the point that I don't even want to wake up, to the point where I want to sleep for about 100 years, and wake up with all the post-breakup hurting shit all gone.

Then there's Christian, who apparently, called our cousin, Jessica, and asked her if she could come here from Seattle, but that isn't exactly bad news, cause I love Jessica, and were all real close, even the gang is so close to her But the thing I'm worried about is Nick, I know he'll like her, and I know what he can do, and I think one girl that was broken by a Bolton in one roof is enough.

And the worst thing is the penetrating stares from Troy.

I don't know why, but he seems to find my face so interesting that he stares at it every time were at contact, like on the breakfast table, when we have dinner, just always, it's not exactly irritating, cause I don't really mind, he did that a lot before…yeah, before, so I got used to it, but it's just weird, a little. Also, this funny thing happened, I think he was talking to his grandmother at the time, he walked in, and our eyes just met, and I knew that at that moment, he was feeling what I was feeling, he had those eyes that just screams 'I want you, and I will get you…'

That didn't help much making the beast sleep.

That just worsened the need.


The boys were not with their girlfriends.

The boys weren't wrestling,

And the boys weren't drinking,

Or swimming

The boys were sprawled around the living room, doing some boy talks about what has been happening, they have talked about the Sharpay's shoes thing (they planned on throwing some out and see if she even notices) that consists most of laughter, not really talk, nobody brought up the Troy and Gabriella thing because that's jut too deep for boys, and now they're about to finish talking about Nick's womanizing ways.

"Seriously dude, you should stop the fooling around, it's getting old…" Troy said to Nick, running his hands in his hair, which was now too long. Sharpay actually wanted to cut it, and when he said no, she said, she would pay him just to cut his hair because it was so long, she was the one sweating for it, but he still refused

Jason nodded, "Yeah dude, you get all the really hot girls, and it's so unfair…"

Ryan glared at him; he was Kelsi's best friend, he's everyone's best friend.

"…to single guys" he added, he was really intimidated by Ryan, at times, he's protective and he's often called the 'Silent Killer', silent but deadly.

"Do you want Kelsi to know that?"

"Don't even breathe a word to her or else I'll kill you…" Jason threatened.

Nick rolled his navy blue eyes, "I like the fooling around…"

"Exactly, which is why you should stop it!" Troy said, in the big brother voice.

"You're not even the older brother, shut up!" Nick said.

He smirked "Dude, I'm like eight months older than you, I am kind of the older brother…" Troy pointed out.

Nick rolled his eyes, "It's not even a year, so it doesn't fucking count…" he reasoned.

Troy shut up after that, arguing with Nick is like climbing Mt. Everest, it was fairly close to impossible.

"What's the most popular sight in Seattle?" Chris asked, out of nowhere.

"Ferry boats?" Jason tried.

"No." Chris said.

"Grey's Anatomy?" Ryan asked, chuckling, probably knowing it's wrong.

Chris gave him a look, "No."

"The Space Noodle," Chad answered, cockily; stuffing his mouth with cheese covered potato chips.

"It's the Space Needle, you idiot…." Troy corrected, rolling his eyes at Chad's stupid ness that seems to worsen every second

Chad glared at him.

The guys laughed, throwing stuff at Chad's face.

"Ok, next question…" Ryan said, still chuckling.

"Are we sticking to Seattle?" Chris asked.
"Yep," They answered in unison.

Chris searched his mind, and then found nothing, so he decided to ask, "Who's my cousin that lives in Seattle?"

"Jessica!" everyone answered, except for Nick.

"Who's Jessica?" Nick asked, curiously, he didn't like being left out.

"My cousin…" Chris answered, grabbing the bag of chips from Chad, who complained but sucked it up anyways.

"She hot?" he asked.

Troy scoffed, "Your not gonna touch her man…"

He ignored her.

"She's cheerful, and smart, and moody…" Zeke said, grabbing the bag of chips from Chris.

"Like Gabriella?"
"Yeah," Chris answered, punching Zeke's arm, and grabbing the chips back.

Nick nodded, "Yeah, definitely hot…"

Troy chuckled, "How do you know that?"

"Have you seen Gabriella?" Nick chuckled

Troy's blue eyes darkened, as he glared at his brother. "Nick, shut up!"

"Touchy, touchy…" he muttered under his breath.

"Again, shut up!" he half shouted at his little brother.

Nick laughed, "What you don't agree she's hot?"

The guys laughed, as Troy looked away shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders uneasily.

"I guess that's a yes…"

Troy looked at him again, exasperated now, "Yeah, but you're my brother! Stick to the cousin…"

"Jessica?"

Troy groaned, "Who else?"

"I haven't even met her yet!" Nick exclaimed, shrugging his shoulders

"So what? You're Nick…" Jason said, smirking.

Nick nodded, "Very true…" he said, "…when's she coming?"

"Thursday, at noon…" he answered.

Zeke stood up, and said: "I'm gonna bake, who wants to come?"

Nobody stood up.

"Dude, we really don't want to help, we just like to eat…" Jason said, stuffing his mouth with the chips that has been passed on from Chad, to Chris, to Zeke, and now to him.

Zeke stretched his arms, "Fine…" he said, then disappeared to the kitchen.

Troy stood up, "I'm going for a drive…"


Taylor and Gabriella decided to stay inside while the rest of the girls swam on the lake, they stayed in Gabriella's room.

While Taylor was reading some old issues of 'Cosmopolitan' magazine that she found on the back of Gabriella's closet, Gabriella on the other hand was practically chewing her lips.

"You're killing your lips…" Taylor said, nonchalantly, while flipping pages on a magazine.

She didn't stop.

"If your horny, go find Troy, he won't object…" Taylor tried again, still nonchalant.

Gabriella stopped abruptly, "Who said I was horny?"

"It's written on your forehead…" she said, then smiled as she finally found the article she was looking for.

Gabriella wiped her forehead.

"Not literally Gabs…" Taylor rolled her eyes, "…do you know that this entire break up shit is making you stupid?"

Gabriella bit her swollen lower lip, and winced lightly, she didn't notice that she was really killing her lips.

Taylor raised an eyebrow, closed the magazine and dropped it to the floor, "Okay, spill…"

Gabriella looked at her, eyes full of doubt, but something about the look in her best friend's face told her she'll keep her not-really secret.

Gabriella sighed, "Troy keeps on staring at me…"

"Oookay…." She nodded, signaling that she should continue

"…and he had the horny eyes…" she continued.

Taylor chuckled, "Oh isn't that such a coincidence, two ex-lovers both horny, what do we do?" she gasped, dramatically.

Gabriella rolled her eyes.

Taylor giggled, "I'm joking, all I'm saying is, maybe you should heat things up a bit…"

Gabriella raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"I mean tease him, it's a good payback, and you'll enjoy it…" Taylor said, smirking.

"What?" Gabriella asked confusedly.

"You heard Gabriella!" Troy exclaimed.

"Tease him? Taylor, you were alive when all the shit in my life right now is happening, right?"

"Just do it Gabriella…trust me it'll drive him crazy…" Taylor was laughing just by thinking about it.

"What about me? It I'll probably drive me crazy too…" Gabriella pointed out.

Taylor smirked. "Then you can be crazy together…"

"I don't think so…"

Taylor rolled her eyes, "Just. Do. It,"

There was silence.

"Fine, but if it doesn't work I'll kick your ass…"

Taylor smiled, triumphantly, a victory once again, 'Sharpay's gonna love this', she thought.


Troy just got back from his 'drive', and when he walked in, it was quiet, but he could hear conversation in the kitchen, so he went there. He could smell the freshly baked chocolate chips even from the hallway.

"It smells good…" he said, smiling as he walked in.

"Yeah, thanks…" Zeke said, smiling too.

Troy picked up one cookie and stuffed all of it in his mouth, "Hmm...Good," he commented.

"Thanks…" Zeke repeated.

"Dude, can I borrow your phone?" Chad asked.

Troy shot a glare at Christian, "That reminds me…"

"What? Reminds you what?" Gabriella demanded, the last time Troy and Christian had a fight it was about her and it didn't go well, Christian ended up with a broken nose and Troy ended up with a swollen cheek and a black eye.

Troy's icy glare, made Christian uneasy, then it all disappeared when Troy smiled.

"Don't get her pregnant, or else I'll kill you…" Troy said, nonchalantly, then stuffed his face with Zeke's cookies again.

"What?" Gabriella looked at Christian.

Who looked down, blushing?

"Who?!?!" she demanded.

"Who do you think will Troy protect?" Taylor hinted.

Gabriella's jaw dropped, even Amber's eyes widened, "HAYLEIGH?!?!" the two girls shouted.

The gang laughed, even Troy, while Amber, Gabriella, Christian and Hayleigh stayed frozen.

Gabriella took a deep breath but didn't exhale, "Oh my God…"

"Dude, can I borrow your phone?" Chad repeated to Troy, ruining the moment.


"Dude, can I borrow your phone?" Chad repeated.

Troy rolled his eyes, "Chad?!?" he said in a what-the-hell tone.

"I need the phone…" he pressed.

"Why?"

By now all their attention are in the two best friends.

"I need to get Stacy Freeman's number…" he reasoned, smirking.

"Stacey Freeman?" Gabriella and Taylor asked, may I just ask, isn't Amber supposed to be asking the questions not Gabriella?

Troy smiled and tossed the phone to the not-even-nervous Chad, "I'm out."

He walked out of the kitchen to avoid any kind of fights; Troy isn't a big fan of shouting.

"Who's Stacey Freeman?" Taylor demanded.

"My lab partner, Ms, Jealousy…" he answered, after flipping Troy's phone open.

She scoffed, "I'm not jealous!"

Chad smile, "Yeah, I'm convinced…" he said, sarcastically.

"Why do you need to call your lab partner during the summer?" Taylor asked, suspiciously

"Babe. Please."

"Sorry…" Taylor apologized

Gabriella was just about to ask a question, when Amber beat her to it. "Why does Troy have her number?"

"That is for me to know and for you to find out…" Chad smirked.

Gabriella saw Nick and Hayleigh smile in the corner of her eyes, she lifted an eyebrow, 'Stacey Freeman', she thought, 'thank God for Google…'
