Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. Unless you've figured out who Jeanette is, I'm not gonna tell you. For anyone who didn't know: A&E stands for Accident & Emergencey. It's like a hospital.

That afternoon, Gabriella was alone in the kitchen, drinking iced water. Troy and the rest of the gang were down at the beach and she had come up because she was thirsty. She hadn't seen Simon since that morning, and she hadn't seen her brother Brand Montez or his other friend, Amanda Warren. As she turned around, hands covered her eyes.

"Guess who?" Came a deep, fake voice. Gabriella giggled.

"Brand?"

"Yeah," Brand Montez took his hands away from her eyes and propped himself up on the counter-top. Gabriella smiled a little uncertainly as she saw Simon walking into the house. He grinned back at her easily and Gabriella grinned back, relieved. "Whatchya doing?"

"Drinking!" Gabriella retorted and Brand grinned at her. Simon strode over and stood on her other side. "Where's Amanda?"

"On the beach, flirting with Jesse," Simon answered. Gabriella grinned and took another long sip of her drink. There was a look exchanged between Brand and Simon and she intercepted it and looked between the both of the them.

"What's up?" She asked dully.

"Just don't believe everything that Bolton guy says," Simon told her. Gabriella crossed her arms tightly across her chest and looked at him with her eyebrows raised. "Look, I know he's said some stuff about me, but don't believe it all."

"So what parts should I believe?" She asked.

"Uh…" Simon looked confused. He shot a look at Brand and she turned to her older brother.

"And where do come into this?" She snapped. Brand threw his hand up in protest.

"I just tagged along. Simon told me a few things, saying that he used to go out with Troy's older sister and that something went wrong…as it does in most other relationships," Brand shrugged. "I'm not taking sides here, so leave me out of it." Gabriella sighed and tipped the rest of her water into the sink.

"Look, Simon, I respect that you and Troy may have some scores to settle, but I don't wanna get in the middle of this," she walked out of the room. Simon let out a whistle through his teeth as she pulled off her shirt, revealing her torso, aside what little the bikini was covering. Brand rolled his eyes and punched Simon on the arm.

"Can't believe you're checking out my sister again!" Brand protested. Simon shrugged.

"She's hot, hands down," he answered. Brand rolled his eyes again and grabbed bowls from the cupboard and then pulling out the ice-cream from the freezer. Simon grabbed the spoons and they dug in.

Down on the beach, Amanda was still flirting hard out with Jesse. Jesse was minding a moment of it, and was leaning back in the sand, enjoying the attention. Lisa was standing a little way off, her eyes drifting from Jesse and Amanda, to the arguing Chad Danforth and Taylor McKessie, and then finally to Troy, who was sitting by himself. Lisa walked over and sat down beside him. He smiled at her before looking back out over the water.

"Whatchya doing?" Lisa asked. Troy shrugged.

"Nothing much," he turned slightly. "You?"

"Nothin'," Lisa glanced at him quickly. His piercing blue eyes were looking at her evenly, a small smile on his lips. "What?" Troy let out a laugh.

"Nothing. It's just…I swear Gabi was wearing that bikini yesterday," he tilted his head to one side. For some reason, this didn't make Lisa feel that great. "Is it the one Gabi was wearing the other day?" Lisa shook her head quickly.

"No, they're just both black," she replied.

"Oh," Troy nodded. Lisa leaned over and then pulled on a light-coloured tee-shirt. "Do you know where she is at the moment?" She tried to retain the annoyed sigh which was going to escape and tried to put on a smile.

"Yeah," Lisa replied. "Se went up to the house."

"Smile!" Amanda suddenly yelled, jumping out of nowhere. She had been taking photos since that morning, and most of them had been of Jesse, but now she was expanding her boundaries. "C'mon, Bolton, put your arm around her." Troy smiled easily and draped his over Lisa's shoulder. Lisa smiled widely into the lense and Amanda snapped the photo.

I'm trying to invovle the other people a bit more, then just Gabriella and Troy. I'll try to put more in about the twins (Jesse and Lisa) and the relationship between Chad and Taylor.

Luv ya all,
Review!!!!!
