Hello guys, how are all of you? Lol. I know you guys hate cliffys, but…I felt like I had to do that! Haha, so here's the next chapter, so I won't babble on and on…

PLEASE R&R!

Kelsi's eyes widened. "Ja-Ja-Jason?" She stuttered, as Troy nodded slowly. But then he smiled, "Don't worry though, because I gave him a run for his money!" He joked.

Kelsi laughed and hugged Troy. "Thanks! I can always count on you!" She exclaimed, as Troy shrugged, "Any day."

Kelsi sighed and groaned. "What am I going to do?" She asked Troy. Troy sighed, "I don't know, but you better think of something fast, because I think him and Zeke are coming over here now!"

Kelsi gasped. "Oh crap…what do you think Sharpay will do?" She asked Troy cautiously.

Troy laughed. "I don't know.." He replied, just as someone walked in through the door, and slammed it behind them. They both sighed, "Sharpay…"

Sharpay huffed loudly, as she came into the kitchen and dropped her keys onto the counter, which caused both Troy and Kelsi to jump. "Do you KNOW how much yelling I've done?" She yelled.

"No…but I have a feeling you'll tell us anyway…" Kelsi mumbled, as Troy tried to hold in his laughter. Sharpay just glared at her.

"WHAT I WAS SAYING….was, I totally hate those two perverted people!" She screamed, and then sighed loudly.

"Wow…I'm tired…" She exclaimed, as Kelsi just rolled her eyes. "Yeah…I bet…" She muttered, under her breath.

Sharpay sighed as she held out her hand, and stared at her nails. "Hm…I think I'll go paint my nails a different color…Kelsi, you want me to do yours?" She asked.

Kelsi smiled and nodded. "Yes, of course! I need a good manicure!" She exclaimed, as she grabbed Sharpay's hand, and checked out her nails. "Ooh…how pretty Sharpay! You're awesome at this!" She complimented.

Sharpay just shrugged. "I try…" She replied as both girls started giggling and talking about their nails.

Troy was just looking at them weirdly, and then shook his head. "Girls…wow, I REALLY need Chad back…" He muttered to himself, before walking out the door.

"Where'd Troy go?" Kelsi asked Sharpay who just shrugged, as they both giggled, and went to paint their nails.

Gabriella groaned, and pressed the button to stop her alarm, and she slowly got up and rubbed her eyes. I am NOT having a good week She thought to herself, as she trudged into the bathroom to get ready.

After she was out of the shower, she put on a blue jean skirt, with a short sleeved Abercrombie glittery gray top, that was loose. And left her hair down, in curls.

She went downstairs slowly, and put on her black flip flops, and grabbed her purse and keys, and headed out the door.

Gabriella tried her best to keep a positive outlook on the day. She was very nervous about what her boss had to say about her leaving without an explanation yesterday. She just hoped that Rachel would be there.

Gabriella took a deep breath, as she shut off her car, and slowly got out, walking towards the entrance of the lab.

Gabriella gulped, as she pushed open the doors, and was immediately met by stares from other people. Some were whispering about how she ran out….how she was the girl who was crying….and something about yelling on the phone…

Gabriella felt tears well up in her eyes, as she quickly found her boss, who had her back turned to her.

Gabriella walked up, just as her boss turned around. She gave her a sharp look and said, "Ah..yes, Gabriella."

"Yes?" She asked softly, looking down to the ground. "Where were you yesterday?" Her boss asked simply.

"I…I…I…" Gabriella stuttered, but she struggled, not wanting to burst out crying. Her boss nodded, "I see…well since you obviously can't tell me, I'll have to deduct your paying, AND you'll have to make it up to me. But I'll tell you your punishment once I can think of one…" She said sternly.

Gabriella pursed her lip, and try her God damn hardest not to cry. "Now…" Her boss went on, "First up, I need you to work in the lab today, help Rachel with DNA testing. You'll get off at four, and your shift tomorrow ends at noon."

And with that, her boss left her and Rachel alone together. Rachel looked at Gabriella with sad eyes and asked, "Gabi, are you okay?"

Gabriella just smiled faintly, and sniffled, shaking her head to get all of her tears out of her eyes. "I'm fine…let's just work" She whispered, before walking into the lab.

Sharpay and Kelsi were out to eat lunch with Troy(he has nothing else to do! Lol) and Kelsi's phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Kelsi asked. "Hey Kels" Gabriella's soft voice came over the line. "Oh hey Gabriella…" She said, looking at Troy who just sighed. "What's up?" She asked.

Gabriella's eyes immediately sprang with tears. "Um.." She croaked, "Well Chad and…and Taylor are coming home today, and…um, their plane lands at 4."

Kelsi furrowed her eyebrows. "Oh really? Okay, thanks for calling! Wait…is there something else Gabi?" She asked her friend with concern as she thought she heard a sob.

"No..no. Just, I'll be there as..soon as I can get off..off work. Okay?" She struggled, trying to take control over her tears.

Kelsi immediately asked, "Gabi, what the Hell is wrong?" Knowing that something was really wrong with Gabriella. Troy shot his head towards Kelsi, with concern.

Gabriella started sobbing. "Gab…Gabi?" Kelsi asked frantically. Troy just sat there. He wa snow completely worried.

"I'm fine Kels…don't worry. I'll talk to you later" Gabriella said quickly through sobs, before hanging up the phone.

"Gabi?" Kelsi asked, as she listened to the dial tone on the phone.

"What's wrong?" Sharpay asked immediately, clutching tightly to Kelsi's arm. Kelsi bit her lip, "If you let go of my arm, I could tell you!" She shot back, and Sharpay quickly let go of her arm.

"KELSI!" Troy screamed, and Kelsi shot her head towards him. "What's going on with Gabi?" He asked her, really wanting to know.

Kelsi sighed. "I don't know. She just said that Chad and Taylor were coming home today and their plane landed at 4. And…and she said she'd try to make it, after she got off work. She was crying really hard, Troy" She whispered.

Troy immediately stood up and said, "That's it. I'm going down there and saving her from that dungeon, until she gets everything sorted out!" Troy exclaimed.

"Troy no! You'll just make everything worse!" Kelsi pleaded, as Sharpay just stifle a giggle. "What?" Both Troy and Kelsi asked Sharpay, giving her a look.

"Sorry…it's just that Troy sounded so much like a super hero there…it's just so cute. Troy…why don't you just fix everything with her?" She ended up sighing.

Troy just shrugged. "I would but…she won't talk to me."

Sharpay just rolled her eyes, "That's what you need to learn about MAKING people listen! CHECK!" She yelled out.

Sharpay, Kelsi, and Troy stood anxiously at the airport, waiting for Chad and Taylor to arrive. Gabriella still hadn't showed up yet, and it was making him nervous.

Chad and Taylor suddenly arrived, and Chad was with a VERY nervous Taylor I may add. "Chad, Taylor!" Sharpay squealed, pulling them both into hugs.

"Uh….Shar…" Chad whispered, nodding over to Taylor. Sharpay Immediately frowned, "Oh yeah. Hey Tay, nice to have you back!" She said sweetly, giving her an encouraging smile.

Taylor smiled faintly. "Thanks Sharpay…" She said. It's so weird having your used-to-be enemy, Sharpay, being nice to you She thought to herself.

"Hey….Taylor" Kelsi said quietly, slowly wrapping her into a hug. "Oh, hey Kelsi!" Taylor exclaimed, smiling back at her. Finally, someone that I'm not weirded out by…

"Yo Tay…what's up?" Troy joked, hugging her also. Okay…back to weird again…She thought. "Hey…um Troy" She replied weirdly.

Just then, Gabriella came running in. "Hey guys…" She said softly, looking at everyone, who was now looking at her.

Troy's eyes widened at the sight in front of him.
