Hey! Thanks for the reviews. Sorry for the long wait, be had these major state wide tests this week, ugh they were horrible, not very hard but they took forever to do! I have to do them next week too, this is torture! Well, this isn't as long as I would like, but I needed to get a new chapter up. High School Musical Dance Along is tonight at 8, I can't wait! I printed the moves off of the website already! I'll be working really hard to get two more chapters up this weekend.
Enjoy!
"LAND! I'm never going on an airplane again!"
The parents that were waiting at the airport laughed as Chad laid on the floor. Troy jumped over Chad, but just as he landed, Chad moved his leg and tripped Troy making him fly through the air. Chad turned his head, "thank you for flying Air Chad! That's for making fun of me at the game last night Troy."
"Chad, how could I not? That guy bounced the ball right off your head."
"I would have caught it if you hadn't been yelling at me!"
Zeke walked over to the two arguing boys. They were the best of friends, but got in fights about the littlest things. He shook his head and stuck his hand out. Troy gratefully accepted it and walked over to help Chad. He stuck his hand out and Chad reached out to grab it. Troy quickly withdrew his hand from Chad's reach, "too slow." Chad pushed off from the ground, sighing as if it was hard work. Zeke and Troy laughed at Chad's expression.
"Flight wasn't too bad," Jack said as he approached the parents.
"If you think Chad screaming not bad," Mack said from behind him.
"I feel bad for the poor lady next to you," Jason said to Chad.
"Poor lady next to him! What about me! At least she had earplugs," Mack yelled. Jack placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a look. She smiled, knowing she was making a scene. The boys laughed.
Jack smiled. "We hit some turbulence entering New Mexico," he said to the parents.
"Some turbulence?" Chad shouted. "The plane almost crashed!"
Mack raised an eyebrow. "Chad, you were shaking, that's what made it seem like we were going to crash."
"So seniors I'll see you on Monday for all-star practice." Jack said, not wanting to hold up the families any longer. He looked around, "anyone seen Troy?"
Mack scanned the airport. She elbowed her father and pointed to one of the chairs. Troy had found Gabriella and they were showing public displays of affection. Mack stuck her tongue out and made a face of disgust. Then she started to gag herself. Jack shook his head and looked around. Many members of his team were talking to their parents or girlfriends.
"He was gone for three days, he couldn't have missed her that much," Mack said. "I'm going to go help mom get the luggage."
"I'll meet you down there," Jack said. "I'll get Troy."
"Good luck!" Mack said laughing. "Your gonna need it!"

"No Cam, I wasn't. The problems between Jack and I are strictly between adults."
"How can you say that!" Cam said. "You're lying to me, but then again you probably always have."
"Cam, you have to understand. I wanted what was best for you and your brother, and sometimes that meant screwing around with a Bolton." Cam opened his mouth but his father cut him off, "do you understand?"
"I don't understand why your lying to me," he growled. "Especially when I already know the truth. I heard Calum talking to Troy's girlfriend today-"
"He what!"
"Let me finish!" Cam yelled. "He said that we don't understand him and that we didn't want to learn how to, because he didn't fit into this perfect family! I been thinking and I understand him perfectly now, and I'm going to go find him and tell him not to come back."
"Cam..."
"Because if you really wanted him back so much, you would have went looking for him a long time ago. He's been missing for 48 hours."
Mr. and Mrs. Boucher's faces fell. Cam turned on his heal and walked out of the room. Just as he opened the front door, Mrs. Boucher asked, "where are you going?"
"Why would you care?" The door slammed shut.

Calum was sitting at the top of the slide when he saw Mack. Her hair was in French braids with red and white ribbons tying the ends. She spotted him and walked up the wooden stairs that led to the big red slide. "I thought you might be here," she said in a soft voice.
"How did they do?" Calum asked.
"They lost by 2 in overtime. They're okay with it though. Second place really isn't that bad. How was vacation here?"
"I played a little basketball with your brother."
"Really?"
Calum turned toward her and smiled at her expression. He nodded his head.
"Is that it?"
He nodded, deciding against telling her about him not going home. He didn't want her involved, it wasn't that important. She laid her head on his shoulder and shut her eyes. "I missed you," she said.
He rested his chin on her head. "Me too, Mack. Me too."
So...what do you think?
Remember that its on tonight, Friday at 8pm on Disney Channel! This is going to be great!
