Hello the author here, I'm sorry I haven't updated in a couple of days but that's because I've been busy as the football season has kicked of which means I'm back at work. Also the other reason was a couple of days ago I got two awful reviews and I know your meant to take every review as away of helping you improve but these two particular were horrid and I actually mean horrid. One of the said that this fanfiction wasn't a fanfic at all it was just a paragraph and that it was a piece of S*** and that I should just quit while I was ahead. Now this person commented on what I class as chapter 0 – Introduction to the Characters so therefore they actually didn't read anything past that so I kind of think that what they said was unfair and unjustified as how can they say its bad when that's all they actually read. Anyway I still have nice comments from people telling me they like my story and they are the reason that I am continuing this story as away of saying thank you for the lovely comments so here's the next chapter. Enjoy!


Over at Irene's house the teens were waking up to the usual hustle and bustle that happens every morning.

"Are you kids sure that you have everything because I don't want to find that when you're gone that you have all left something behind." Irene quickly said while trying to make breakfast.

First to respond Belle said "Don't worry Irene. When have we ever left something behind? I mean we've been camping enough times to know that we can't leave anything as its all important."

"She's right Irene, we never leave anything and if we have, we replace it by going to a shop on the way to the National Park." Aden added as he walked out of Belle's bedroom.

Replying to the teen who in the past was nicknamed 'troublemaker' "Where have you come from? Actually don't answer that I think I know where and I really would wish that you'd stop entering the house that was as we have two doors leading into the house you know? Also I know you all pop to the local shops around the National Park if you forget anything but I like making sure you are all prepared and I'm pretty sure Roman checked everything this morning and reminded you of the dangers"

"Well Irene I tend to prefer coming through the window as I can't disturb anyone if I decide to surprise my beautiful girlfriend." Aden told Irene.

"Ew! No offence mate but that it truly gross." Came a voice from the bottom of the stairs.

"Matt Page! It just proves how much Aden loves Belle whereas you never surprise me like he does." Shouted Sasha from her bedroom door way as she quickly wander down the hall, stopping at the the top of the stairs.

Realise he better say something otherwise she would be angry for the rest of the day "Aww babe, come on you know I love you. Also I do surprise you but I can't exactly climb through your bedroom window like lover boy over here."

"Why not? I do have a window."

"Why not? Seriously, why not?"

"Yes, why not?"

"Well Sash your bedroom is on the top floor over the house and I would probably die trying to get to it. That's why not." Matt quickly replied.

Irene thought that now seemed the right time to interrupt with breakfast before a fight started. Everyone in the house suddenly stopped what they were doing and gathered round the dining room table stuffing their faces while talking about the trip and what they had bought Kyle.

Belle told them that she had bought Kyle a signed CD by has favourite band, Simple Plan. While Aden had got him tickets to see that very band as they both like that band and it was how their friendship actually started as Aden had heard Kyle playing one of there songs on his guitar at Stewarts point (which is where he went everything morning for his run).

"Well I guess you two went shopping together for Kyle's presents" Matt butted in.

"Actually I got the tickets a couple of months ago and decided to wait before I told Kyle. It was Belle that needed the help so I told her he liked the band and she could get something to do with them. And besides what did you to get him?" Aden quickly asked.

"Well I got Kyle a skateboard, he tried mine a couple of ago and he was actually pretty good, so I thought I'd get him one," Matt told everyone sat at the table "What about you Sasha? What did you get Kyle for his birthday?"

After taking her glass and plate into the kitchen and sticking them in the dishwasher Sasha walked back in "Well I didn't know what to get Kyle. Which for me as the three of you know is unusual as I always know what to get people, so I want to someone who I hoped Kyle had let slip as to what he wanted."

"Who?"

"Well if you wait Matt, I'll tell you."

"I bet it was phoebe as she's, 1) Know Kyle the longest and 2) seems to be great when it come to buying presents for people."

"No, surprisingly Belle that's not who I asked for the help, it was actually Ricky."

"Ricky!" All three of then said together and Irene as she wandered back in from outside where she was watering her plants.

"Yes, Ricky! Even though all Kyle had let slip was a guitar which Brax and Ricky had already bought. She did give me one idea, which was a photo album as she felt like Kyle still didn't think that after all these years of him living here in the bay, he saw us all as friends."

Belle obviously surprised by what she had just heard "Are you being serious right now? How Kyle think that we aren't his friends? I mean it feels like we have known him forever, he's one of us, one of the gang."

"Well that's exactly what I said but she was serious. She said that from what she heard from Phoebe is that Kyle didn't have a great childhood after his mum died, he had apparently gone into foster care until his dad found him after he got of jail when Kyle had just turned 14," Sasha replied while they all listened in content "Ricky kind of assumed that he never really had the chance to make friends before been shoved to the next foster family and that Phoebe thought that he was bullied growing up as she felt like the kids in Kyle's old schools were mean to anyone who was in the foster system. So she suggested I do a photo album with us all in from over the past couple of years showing Kyle that he does have friends and that we love him dearly."

"That's tough poor Kyle. I didn't know he was in foster care." Irene shouted from the kitchen.

"None of did now that I come to think about it. I think we should use this trip as away to find out more about Kyle. Do you agree?" Belle asked everyone who nodded their heads in agreement "Right now that's sorted, I think we should start making tracks if we are to meet the others at 9."

With that the four teens said goodbye to Irene picked up their remaining things that hadn't been packed in the car yesterday and left for the Surf Club.
