Author's Note: Hey guys! Here's the next chapter! R&R!

Chapter 15: Naming...and other things

Jason: All right, do I know this girl?

Zeke:(hesitates) yeah, yeah you know her

Jason: And it's not Sharpay?

Zeke: No

Jason: Right, is it Gabriella?

Zeke: No

Jason: Oh my god, it's not Kelsi is it?

Zeke: No you idiot, its...

Right at that moment Chad and Taylor walk in holding hands.

Chad: Hey guys.

Zeke+Jason: Hey

Chad: Guess what? Gabriella has gone to talk to Troy and I think they might be getting back together.

Jason: wow, that's great.

Chad: Yeah but we can't get our hopes up cause it might not happen.

Jason notices that Zeke isn't looking at Taylor and Taylor is looking at her feet. He realises something.

Jason:(loudly) Oh my god!

Everyone looks at him.

Chad: What?

Jason: I, um, I'm just so happy.

He grabs Zeke by shoulders and pulls him up.

Jason: Me and Zeke have to go now.

Zeke: Do we?

Jason:(hisses) now!

Jason pushes Zeke out of the bedroom door leaving Chad and Taylor looking a bit puzzled.

Once they're out of their hotel room and Jason's closed the door...

Jason: Taylor???

Zeke: what about her?

Jason: you have feelings for Taylor???

Zeke: oh, um maybe...

Jason: Oh my god!

Zeke: okay, you have to stop saying that. You've said it like four times in the last five minutes.

Jason: Sorry, but this is huge! No it's wrong! She is going out with one of our best friends...

Zeke: I know! I can just picture Chad's face when I tell him...

Jason: What…wha...why?

Zeke: Well, I have to tell him, he's my friend

Jason: And you're gonna be his dead friend if you tell him. Believe me, it's better if you keep it to yourself.

Zeke: All right fine.

Jason: And the crazy thing is, I think Taylor might have feelings for you too.

Zeke: Really?

Jason: Don't get bigheaded, I said she might!

Troy and Gabriella turn up in the corridor laughing.

Troy: Hey

Jason and Zeke: hey

Zeke: wait, are you two back together?

Gabriella: As of half an hour ago. You should have seen the look on Lydia's face!

Troy: Yeah, when we turned up in the hotel lobby together, she actually stopped

walking and dropped all her shopping bags! It was hilarious!

Jason: So it was actually Lydia who had made it all up?

Gabriella: Yep, and we've decided not to do anything about it.

Troy: Yeah, the sight of the both of us will probably have her eating carbs anyway.

Everyone laughs.

Zeke: I'm so happy for you two.

Gabriella: Thanks, we are too.

Chad and Taylor open the hotel door to find everyone else blocking the doorway.

Chad: Um, are we actually allowed to use this door or are you saving it for a special occasion?

Zeke and Jason shuffle out the way.

Taylor: Oh my god, are you two back together?

Troy: (smiling broadly) Officially.

Chad: oh congratulations, you guys!

Taylor: That's so great!

Troy: well, I'm back with Gabriella, Lydia's miserable, I'm here with all my friends, I've never been happier!

Chad: Okay, that's enough with the cheese.

Everyone laughs and smiles and then decide to head for the beach.

Sharpay and Ryan are in Sharpay's room when a large whirlwind of fury stormed into the room and threw her Prada bag at the wall.

Lydia: GUESS WHO I JUST SAW DOWNSTAIRS????

Ryan: um, someone wearing the exact same exclusive designer shoes as you?

Lydia took off one of her stilettos and screaming, threw it at Ryan, which barely

missed him.

Lydia: No, (taking off her other shoe) Troy and that Gabriella girl are back together!!

Sharpay:(dramatically) no!

Lydia: How DARE she? How DARE she take the ONLY guy I have EVER been in love with?

Ryan: You're not in love with him

Lydia threw her other shoe at Ryan, this time, knocking off his black glittery hat.

Lydia: How dare YOU tell me whether I am or am not in love with!! Plus these shoes have been killing me all day.

Sharpay:(whispering) yes because that's the most important thing.

Lydia: I mean, why should a shoe cost so much but hurt so bad?

Ryan: It's a mystery.

Lydia: Anyway, we need to figure out a better way to split them up. FOR GOOD!

Sharpay: um, actually Lydia, Ryan and I need to rehearse on our performance for the talent show next week.

Lydia: This is more important than some stupid talent show. This is my LIFE we're talking about. My DESTINEY! My Future with Troy...um

Sharpay: Bolton...

Lydia: BOLTON! There is more at stake here!

Sharpay: I'm sorry Lydia; we can't help you

It was impossible to tell how furious Lydia was. She picked up her Prada bag.

Lydia: FINE! I will do myself! Now I know who my REAL friends are!

With a flick of her hair, she stalked out of Sharpay's room slamming the door behind her.

Sharpay: I now think we've made a very evil enemy.

Ryan: Do you think we should return her stilettos?

An hour later, everyone is at dinner, laughing and joking around. Troy with his arm around Gabriella, Chad with his arm round Taylor and Kelsi, Jason and Zeke sitting around individually. However Kelsi continued to feel a distance between Jason and herself, and she couldn't think why.

Troy: And there was this one time during rehearsal when Arnold and Minnie were supposed to bump into each other accidentally and Arnold is supposed to say...

Gabriella: "oh, I'm so sorry, little miss"

Troy: but I said "oh, little miss, I'm so sorry" and you should of seen the look on Darbus' face! It looked like her eyebrows had been sewn together. Anyway, she yelled at me for like ten minutes saying I should respect the power of a theatre's script and should never abuse it. And then I tried to explain that I thought it sounded better that way. BIG mistake. I've been scarred by her screaming ever since.

After everyone had stopped laughing...

Kelsi: Okay I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

She stands up from the table and heads for the bathroom. When she opened the door she grabbed by the hair and flung against the bathroom wall.

Tormentor: Whatever you do, do NOT make a sound. Or you'll regret it!

Kelsi was face to face with her tormentor and terrified of what they were capable of, she didn't say anything.

Tomentor: You are gonna help me with something. And lets just say you have no choice. You agree?

Kelsi nods her head as her hair was yanked even harder. She had to combine all her energy not to scream.

Tormentor: Great, I am going to meet you tomorrow morning in the lobby at half seven and tell you what you're going to do. Agreed? And if you aren't there at exactly half seven, then you again are really going to regret it! Okay?

Kelsi nodded again, now able to feel the fake nails digging into her skull.

Tormentor: Okay, you can go back to your table now, but if you dare tell anyone about this, i think you know what's happening here.

Kelsi's hair was released and she stood shocked against the wall as her tormentor left the bathroom.

Everyone else was sitting at the table, completely oblivious as to what had happened. Kelsi walked over white-faced.

Troy: Hey Kelsi?

Gabriella: Are you okay?

Kelsi: ...um... no, not really...um...I don't feel well, I think I'll just...go back to my room...

Gabriella: well okay, hope you feel better.

Kelsi: ...yeah...

She walks away from the table slowly.

Taylor: Well that was weird; she looked fine when she left for the bathroom. Do you

think we should go up and see if she's okay?

Zeke: No, she looked like she wanted to be alone.

Gabriella: oh well.

Chad noticed Sharpay and Ryan walking in and Sharpay heading towards the table.

Chad: oh god, here we go...

Sharpay: Hi!

Everyone else: hey

Sharpay: look, I know you all worked out that it was Lydia that planned the whole "Troy cheating with me" thing and I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Sorry for not letting you know what was happening, sorry I didn't stop it. I just want you to know that i didn't want to be a part of it but Lydia Darlton is very talented when it comes to blackmail. So I just want to say, Troy, Gabriella?

Sharpay stuck out her hand and Troy and Gabriella shook it.

Sharpay: Ryan and I look forward to competing against you in the talent show. And i hope we can all be civilised about it.

Chad snorted causing everyone to look at him and Taylor elbowing him.

Sharpay: well, that's all I have to say. Goodbye.

Sharpay strutted away from the table.

Everyone was a little stunned.

Troy: um, Chad? This is your cue to say, "what in Jupiter's name was that?"
