Hey all, guess what? It's late, I can't sleep, I'm watching South Park, and am debating on if I should 'help' teach a dance class this summer! Yeah, random.
okay, thanks to FF going wonky, my entire mind setting has gotten thrown off, here is where I'd normally put review thingys, but I can't find my reviews. I deleted them off of my e-mail and they're not on my stats, so, I'm not happy right now. but anyhow, here's chapter five
please review.
Chapter 5Emily's POV
I'm going to die. They freakin' tricked me. I can't breathe. Someone will die… probably me.
It's all Gabriella's fault
" Students! Today is pretty much free, until about six. Then we're going to meet at the Hardrock café, after that, Alcatraz island." Paxton announced. " I suggest you take a jacket tonight, it can get chilly on that boat, and when we come back it'll be chillier." She warned, then left.
" Well, what will we do today?" Ryan asked.
" Hey, you know what? You two should come with us!" Gabriella cried.
" Where are we going?" I asked.
" Godiva Chocolates. So good. We have to go. "
" Who's all going?" Ryan asked.
" Troy, Taylor, Chad and I. Hopefully you two as well." Gabriella said hopefully.
That's why I'm here, dying. You see, Gabriella neglected to tell us that to get to it you had to go up the biggest freakin' hill I've ever seen, let alone walked up. We got half way and I collapsed. On purpose.
" Emily!" Troy said. Yeah, they were annoyed, I tend to whine. I picked myself up and dragged myself along. I'm fairly healthy, yeah, but when you have gum that's stealing vital hydrating thingies, you tend to get tired easily.
" Come, on, almost there." Ryan panted beside me. He was as tired as I was. " We'll make It." he insisted.
He was wrong.
We were three fourths of the way there, and gave up. We went back to the hotel. We were the only ones of our group there.
" Wanna go ride the carousel?" I asked.
" Yeah, sure, I just have to go get my sunscreen." Ryan said. "Sharpay will kill me if I get a sunburn, or to tan of a tan."
" Sharpay's nuts." Ryan just laughed. We got to his room and he went searching for his sunscreen. I started going through Dylan's stuff. Mostly clothes. A soccer magazine, and his digital camera. Then Ryan came out, rubbing sunscreen on his arms. He had taken off his blue button up shirt, and had on a tight navy blue tee shirt. He finished applying the sunscreen and looked up.
" What?" he asked, I realized I was staring.
" Nothing." I said, shaking my head. " I have to get something from my room." I said, leaving. Ryan followed me, after grabbing a jacket. I opened the door with my card key and walked in. we went to the bedroom. Ryan sat on the bed. I found my jacket and stuffed it in my backpack. Then we left for the Hard Rock.
It was great! Giant guitars! Great burgers! Tons of stuff to buy. I got a hard rock tank top, hard rock patch and a pin.
Ryan bought drumsticks, a tee shirt and a pin. Then we all headed off to the dock for the boat ride to Alcatraz. We got on the boat and Paxton was right. It was flippin' cold. Of course I'm a baby when it comes to cold. I had my jacket wrapped around me and I was talking with Melly and Belle.
" What do you think we'll find on Alcatraz?" Melly asked.
" Mel, if there were any dead bodies, they'd have removed them." Belle said.
" I wasn't talking about that." Melly said.
"And I don't think they have a gift shop with the bones of old prisoners." I added.
" No I mean… you really don't think they will?" she asked.
" No." Belle and I said in unison. Melly looked upset then brightened.
" Do you think we'll see a ghost?"
" No." Belle and I replied in unison, again.
" Are you-"
" We're sure." Melly went back to pouting. Belle and I rolled out eyes.
" You two are mean." She said, stomping off.
Ryan's POV
We were going to Alcatraz. Most people are excited. I'm… emotionless. I mean, I'm happy we're going, but if say, the island were to sink and we all went back to the hotel, I wouldn't be that upset.
Eventually the boat docked on the island and we got up. I met with Emily (we had been sitting separately on the boat, I was with Sharpay, she was with her friends.) and we started the tour.
" Great." Emily said "another hill." I laughed, for a soccer star she sure hated walking. Though it was a fair sized hill, and it did a lot of twisting. By the time we got up the hill Emily was about to pass out. I wasn't doing much better. Nobody, save Troy the superjock, was. Even Sharpay was tired and slightly sweaty, and of course, freaking out.
" Ew! Ew! Ew! I'm going to have to throw these clothes out after this!"
" Why?" one of the Brookland girls, Dana, asked.
" Because, it's all sweaty!" Sharpay shrieked. Then another one, Georgia… or Georgie… squirted Sharpay with a water bottle and all hell broke loose. The two wove between people as Georgia/Georgie tried to keep away from Sharpay (A/N yeah, Georgia and Georgie are the same person, but Ryan doesn't know what to call her, so he goes for both) it was very interesting to see.
As we walked our tour guide told us some facts about the island; like that it once was used to hold Native Americans until they rebelled (A/N I can't remember if they got off the island or were just all killed. I went to Alcatraz a year ago, I forgot some things). Finally we got in the building. It was an audio tour. We all got a headset with a cassette player type deal and had to walk around according to what the tape told us.
Needless to say, I got confused many times. I turned the wrong way twice, drifted into daydreams six times, which caused me to be horribly behind my tape, finally, when it was over, I wasn't where I was supposed to be. So I followed someone out.
" Ew. I need to wash my hair so badly now." Sharpay said. " Do you know who might have used those headphones? Which, I might add, were not very fashionable." She added as we made our way down a flight of stairs to some other thing that was going to give us more info.
Turns out there actually was a man that got out of Alcatraz, they broke out of a window and swam. Two of them either chickened out, or died. One made it all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge.
The ride back home was cold. It was getting late, so it wasn't as warm even off the water, but the water and boat made it colder. I sat by Emily and we were hugging, mainly because I know Emily's a wimp when it comes to cold.
Yeah, we got looks, and Gabi ran up all excited.
" You two are back together? That's great!" She said happily.
" Umm… okay…" Emily said. "Gabi, by any chance, have you had caffeine?"
" No why?"
" No reason." And, to our joy, Sharpay and Dylan didn't look too grossed out.
A/N if you review, I love you long time! (yes, the bad grammar was on purpose.)
