LALALA, Enjoy! only a few more chapters left... LOL, annd i didn't think you guys would think that the other chapter would be that sad.. But I read it over.. and i guess it was. Haha, but yeahh. Before you read this, Jeremy(Camille's brother) IS NOT the flower guy from the beginning. And a brief explanation of Jeremy&Camille before you read this as well.. It'll help you understand more..

Camille and Jeremy are twins like Ryan and Sharpay. Their parents are divorced and each parent got custody over one of them; Camille with her dad, and Jeremy with his mom. Jeremy lived in Utah, and Camille previously in New York. Their father is transfered a lot like Gabriella's mom, soo she's been to many places which is why their mom let Jeremy visit them for vacation, so they could see the same places. But Camille eventually got frustrated as her dad became constantly busy, and started talking to her mom about it. Their mom and Jeremy were moving to Albequrque because their mom was offered a promtion which required a move, and thought it would be best if Camille moved with them, which she did. They ended up going to east high about a week and a half after Gabriella arrived, and the triple win passed, but had to have private tutoring since they both came from different schools, which were set to different curriculums.

Soo hope that clears everything up for this chapter. Enjoy!


"I didn't know Ryan and Camille were coming, I guess they brought a friend too." Sharpay said as she waved.

Ryan, Camille, and Jeremy saw the girls sitting at the table and walked towards them once they got out of the car. Ryan saw the girls waving, and he waved back. Camille saw them, and waved as well, but Jeremy didn't since he didn't know who they were. Once they finally got to the table, they took a seat as the girls made room for them.

"Hey guys," Taylor greeted.

"Hey" Ryan and Camille said. Jeremy sat silently looking at his feet under the table, he didn't look up to see the girls.

"Oh, I forgot you guys haven't met yet. Girls, this is my twin brother Jer---"

"Jeremy?" Gabriella asked, his eyes widened as they shot up to meet Gabriella's, who was sitting across from him.

"Um, yeah, Jermz this is Taylor, Kelsie, Sharpay, and I guess you know Gabby" Camille looked over at them with a confused face after she finished pointing to the girls.

"Hello." He said to the girls.

"Wait, how do you guys already know each other? Do you have a class together or something?" Ryan tuned into the conversation.

"Yeah, how do you guys know each other?" Camille asked.

"Oh, uhm, well..." Gabriella said nervously.

"Well, since you lived with dad in New York, and I was living with mom in Utah, I kinda got into studying and stuff. And, I was sent this thing for a math convention type of thing for kids all over the United States last summer."

"So that's why you couldn't visit me and dad..." Camille said.

"You guys got into the USMC?" Taylor said shocked. (NOTE: I made up that USMC thing..LOL)

"What's that?" Shapay asked.

"the United States Math Convention for Teens." Gabriella informed her.

"Ohh, sounds like your type of thing Gabby." Sharpay joked. "Just kidding.."

"Anyways, we were partners there, out of 25 other pairs. One rep from every state." Gabriella told them blushing.

"Man, I've always wanted to get in." Taylor sighed.

"Why didn't you?" Ryan asked.

"You have to be nominated. And once you're nominated you're always invited back, but you never work with the first year kids." Taylor explained.

"Interesting." Camille said.

"Volunteers! I need your help." Mrs. Siggs called for them. Then they all got up and started to walk towards Mrs. Siggs.

"Hey, Gabriella. Can I talk to you?" Jeremy asked as they were walking. The two were a little bit behind the group when he asked.

"Yeah, of course." She said with a little hesitation in her voice. Then he stopped and grabbed her arm.

"You know, we never broke up. I mean, you just left out of nowhere that summer. A second year person had to replace you as my partner." He said looking straight into her eyes. "I missed you."

"I know, Jeremy." She said wrapping her arms around herself. "I... I missed you too, and I'm sorry I just left like that, but my mom was transferred again to Chicago. And we were only there three months till we moved here to Albequerque." She explained.

"Oh." He said. "So how long have you been here?"

"About a month or so." She said and paused. After about a minute of the two standing in silence, Jeremy broke it.

"So, what are we?" He asked, looking at the grass as he placed his hands in his pockets. "I mean, since we never broke up or anything... I still have feelings for you Gabriella Montez" He slowly brought his head up andlooked at her eyes.

"I...uhm." Gabriella shooked her head a little to focus her thoughtdsand looked at the ground, and back at Jeremy. "I mean, I'm not sure what we are."

"Do you still have feelings for me?" He asked grabbing her hand and placing it in his. Gabriella's heart raced as she felt the grasp of Jeremy's hand. She hadn't felt that way since she and Jeremy met. She searched down inside her heart for an answer. Jeremy had taken both of her hands in his by now, and they stood, staring at each other. Gabriella was still trying to look for an answer as she gazed into his eyes.


Troy, Brad, Chad, Jason, and Zeke finally got to the park. They each drove separately, except for Brad who rode with Troy since he didn't know where the park was, just in case; Chad's idea for obvious reasons.

"Hey, you never said all the girls were gonna be here." Zeke smiled and ran over to Sharpay.

"Hm, I thought it was just Taylor, but whatver that's cool." Chad said, then he and Jason lightly jogged over to the girls. Brad had disappeared to the swings when he first spotted them as he and the rest of the guys passed them. Troy stopped and looked around for Gabriella. Then he saw her, far enough that she didn't know he was there. He saw her holding hands with a totally different guy and Troy froze at the sight.

That's what was so important! But what about the other day, that didn't mean anything? I guess not. Or to Gabby at least. Troy thought to himself. He stood and watched for a minute. The two looked as if they were a couple in love from his point of view. Then he couldn't take it anymore. He sighed and walked back toward his car, he didn't want to be there.

"Hey Troy, where you going?" Brad asked as he was making his way to where he was originally supposed to be.

"Huh? What?" Troy hadn't been paying attention. "Where have you been?"

"Oh, hah, I was on the swings for a bit. I couldn't resist,I haven't been on one in years."

"Oh." Troy sighed.

"So where you going? I thought we were helping your guys' teacher or something."

"Yeah, I'm not up to it. I think I'm gonna go chill somewhere else." Troy said trying not to think about Gabriella.

"Hmm, mind if I tag along? It kinds looks like they have enough helpers." Brad said pointing to the gang plus other people that came to help as well.

"Yeah, c'mon. Let's go." With that said, Troy and Brad left.


"Alright. It looks like I haven't got just a group of young kids, but a fairly large group of teens as well" Mrs. Siggs laughed. "But the more, the more fun." she smiled. "Okay I'd like you all to split into partners. If there are any extras, you may have a group of three. Then I will see how many kids there are for each of the groups today."

The other volunteers that the gang didn't know were already paired off, so they did the same; Chad & Taylor, Jason & Kelsie, Zeke & Sharpay, and Ryan with Camille.

"Hey were's Troy and Brad?" Jason said looking around.

"Hey, Troy just called, or well, Brad did with Troy's phone. They said they headed out to go do something. They said they probably won't be able to come back." Zeke told the guys.

"Alright." Chad shrugged, then went to go join Taylor, as did the other two with the other girls.


"Um, I think we should get back to Mrs. Siggs." Gabriella said without answering Jeremy's question, he let go of her hands as she turned away and started walking, so he followed.

"Hey, uh, I guess you two are paired up." Kelsie said as they came to join the group.

"Where have you two been?" Sharpay asked.

"Just catching up on things." Gabriella said and Jeremy nodded.

"Alrighty, looks like all of you get two children, some of you will get three since more are still supposed to show up, but seeing as there are soo many of you today, the groups are smaller. If you like, you guys can combine your groups together, but I will still hold you responsible for your assigned children"


"So, where did you wanna go?" Brad asked as they pulled out of the parking lot.

"I don't know. I think we should just go back to the house and clean up a bit before my parent's freak out and never let the guys come over again."

"Hah, you're right, it is kind of messy now that I think about it."

"Yeah, but you don't have to help you know, I mean you're a guest."

"Yeah, but I am going to live with you guys for a while remember? So I should get used to kicking in my share. Besides I'm used it since my Dad never did much."

"Alright, if you say so." Troy laughed, still in pain from when he saw Gabriella with a guy he had noidea who he was.


The gang ended up with all the kids that were in the group Chad and Taylor watched over the previous day. They all pulled themselves together as one big group so the kids wouldn't get bored with just them. After the day went by of more finger painting, playing on the playground, and playing other games, the kids all left on the bus this time. They all left except for Martin who stayed close to Gabriella and Taylor after all the kids left. The guys said their goodbyes to the girls and were getting ready to go as they were all walking towards the parking lot. Chad and Taylor were holding Martin between themselves, so Jeremy took this as the chance to talk to Gabriella again.

"So..." He started, as they were walking.

"Look, Jeremy, the answer is yes." Gabriella said.

"Really?" He said with a look of relief on his face. Gabriella smiled a bit but then it went away.

"But there's someone else." She stopped to look him in the eye. "I mean, I do still have feelings for you and everything, but things have changed. It's been so long since we've seen each other... I'm sorry."

"It's fine, I totally understand. I hope he's the right guy for you Gabriella." He stared into her eyes. He meant it. He understood that they hadn't seen each other in a while., and things did change. "I guess, I just wanted you back since you disappeared into thin air without a word, so I guess I worried so much that I missed you more..."

"Thanks, and yeah, I'm sorry about that. But we can still be friends right?"

"Yeah, of course." He smiled and pulled her into a hug, which she happily accepted and hugged him back.

I wonder where Troy is since all the other guys are here... Gabriella thought to herself as sheand the gang made theirway to the cars.

"Hey Chad, why are all of you guys here, and Troy isn't?" She asked as she walked towards Chad for an answer.

"Yeah." All the other girls plusRyan agreed.

"Oh, he's chilling with his cousin. Family bonding I guess." Chad laughed.

"Oh." Gabriella said and thought nothing more of it. The girls and guys all said their goodbyes and said they'd see each other at school the next day. It was still early, so the girls headed back to Gabriella's house before they would have to go talk to Martin's mom.

The guys all headed back to Troy's house to get their things since they had school the next day. Ryan went to Camille's and Jeremy's house for a bit to hang out.
