DISCLAIMER: Sadly I do not own CSI NY or any of the characters, no matter how much I wish that Danny Messer was mine.

A/N: Thanks to everyone again for following this story, hopefully the last chapter lived up to expectations and umm…here's the next one for you.

WARNING: This chapter does contain some swearing and implications of sexual assault towards the end, nothing explicit but you have been warned.

SUMMARY: Stella, Mac, Lindsay, Danny, Flack, Adam, Aiden, Sid, Hawkes and some of the other kids at Staten Island Academy are on a summer vacation with a few of the teachers but little did they know, the teachers had really gained permission from their parents and had actually taken them to Florida to work in a hotel for six weeks. With arguments over who has which jobs and relationship rivalry, can their friendships survive?

TITLE: Summer Friendships and Rivalry – Chapter 3

-CSI-NY-CSI-NY-CSI-NY-

"How could you?" Danny screamed at Brent, he still couldn't believe that his best friend had bedded his girlfriend. "How could you? You knew she was mine but you went and fucked her anyway!"

"I…I…" He stuttered, not knowing what to say; there wasn't much he could say because at the end of the day, Danny was right.

"Dan', I just need to say…" Clara started to defend herself but he wasn't interested.

"Save it Clara, I loved you but you threw it back in my face; well I hope you and Brent are very happy together!" He looked down at Brent and glared. "And as for you, you make me sick and as soon as we get back to school I am gonna make sure that you are kicked off the team; even if I have to do it myself."

Brent suddenly found his voice and smirked at Danny. "Maybe if you could satisfy your girl, she wouldn't have to come running to me."

Danny lost it; he wasn't going to sit back while Brent rubbed it in his face that he had stolen his girl. He let go of Brent's hair and punched him in the face then looked back at Clara. "And we are so over."

"But Dan', what about the prom?" The horrible realisation hit her, if he didn't take her to the prom then the chances of her becoming prom queen were diminished and nothing was guaranteed anymore.

"What about it?" His voice was cold, as were his eyes. Brent said nothing, just sat and covered his nose, willing it to stop bleeding.

"Well who are you going to go with?" The fear was evident in her voice and Danny gave a bitter laugh, she'd never wanted him; all she had wanted was to be crowned queen. Everyone had been right, she had been using him but he wasn't going to be taken for a fool again.

"I don't know but if there's one thing that I do know it's this, I am not going to be your date. Sorry Clara but I'm not being your ticket to queen, you never wanted me and now you don't need to worry because while I am being crowned king and my date is being crowned queen, you and Brent can sit and watch." Her face fell as he walked to the door and took one last glance at his ex and his so-called best friend. "Goodbye Clara, Brent, I hope you're very happy together." The sarcasm lacing his words was clear and as he walked out of the hotel room and slammed the door, Clara realised that for once in her life, she wasn't going to get it all.

Danny meanwhile was on the proverbial war path and Clara and Brent pitied anyone that got in his way. He stormed through the hotel grounds and headed for the restaurant, trying to take his mind off what he had just witnessed.

Mac meanwhile was sat at the bar downstairs, drinking lemonade and talking to Stella, Aiden and Adam, who was working behind the bar. "So Adam, how's it going?"

"Umm…well Flack has certainly let the power go to his head." He smiled at them and they nodded, not in the least bit surprised by Flack's 'control freak' attitude.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Was Stella's rhetorical comeback.

"Because he's an ass?" Aiden insisted on answering the question and Stella merely smiled and nodded. "So Mac, have you left Lindsay tidying up on her own?"

"Relax, she said I could leave and there were only two or three tables left to clear." Aiden looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Honestly, she said I could go; said she'd be fine."

"She will and she is the restaurant supervisor after all." Stella sided with Mac as usual; she had had a crush on him for the best part of two years after all.

"Whoa, how'd a geek make it to supervisor? Would have thought Messer would have been asked." Adam chipped in, not knowing that Lindsay had been made supervisor because he didn't work in the restaurant.

"Clearly the boss doesn't care about how cool you are; I mean he did make Mac the assistant supervisor." Stella smiled at him innocently as he mock-glared in her direction.

"Hey, what are you saying about me Miss Bonesara?" He joked back as Aiden informed them all that Sid had been left in charge of the kitchen. "Where's Sheldon gone anyway?"

"He went back to his room to get changed, said he wasn't walking around in his uniform for the rest of the night." Aiden helpfully informed them and Mac thanked her for the update.

"Mr Ross, you're here to work, not chat." Flack breezed past them, smirking.

"Oh yeah, definitely gone to his head." Adam laughed and everyone else agreed that Flack definitely had turned 'power crazed'.

"Mr Ross, the lady sat at the bar would like a straw." Flack walked past again, he was clearly enjoying bossing Adam, around.

"I'll tell him where to stick his straw if he carries on." Adam muttered under his breath but made absolutely no effort to move from his spot.

"Mr Ross…"

"Alright! I'll take her the bloody straw, just shut up." He walked over to the other end of the bar and handed the woman her straw before politely smiling and asking her if she would like anything else.

Lindsay on the other hand, was finishing sweeping the floor in the restaurant, trying to wind down after a hectic shift. She rested the broom on the floor, holding it up and leaning on the top of it with folded arms. She had been honoured when the hotel manager had told her that she was to be the manager of the restaurant but after tonight, after the awkward customer at table seven, she wasn't so sure that she was cut out for the job anymore. She was staring into space, daydreaming when someone grabbed her from behind. They covered her mouth to stop her from screaming, and wrapped their other arm around her waist. "Well gorgeous, what do you say?" She shivered and went cold inside as she recognised the voice which was sinisterly whispering down her ear. She stood horrified, unable to move as the person moved their hand lower down her body and told her not to scream, they were here to make her feel better; she wasn't going to be a 'Geek' forever.
