I'm Home!! We sat on the plane delayed for an hour but oh well. I'm home and I have fast internet. This is kind of a boring chapter but I like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

"Well since we can't get anything else out of Gabi and the guys are here. I'll see you later." Chad said running back down. "Gabi aren't you going to come down here and see your lover boy." I looked up at Chad and smirked at him. I heard him mumble, 'uh oh' before running.

I ran down the stairs after Chad and chased him around the gym kicking off my heals. "Chad!"

"Yes Gabs?" He asked still running.

"You better-- ahhhh!" Someone had caught me and pulled me back by my hips. I looked back at them and glared. "Trevor!!"

"What? I couldn't let you injure yourself," He said. "If you want to kill Chad I'll be happy to do it." Everyone in the gym laughed. I looked around and before my eyes hit Chad they fell on Troy. He was standing to the side awkwardly not laughing. Chad was against a wall.

"Fine. Hey Chad, now you're warmed up!" I yelled.

"Haha," He said walking over to where the guys were. I walked back up the bleachers and sat down.

"That was a good show," Taylor said.

"That was not a show, Trevor just stopped me from killing your boyfriend," I said picking up my work again. We finished our work and moved down to watch the guys play a little.

"Hey, Gabi! Can you play?" Trevor asked coming over to me.

"Well," I started.

"No, she can't. At least she couldn't when I was dating her and that was only three days ago," Troy said.

"Not true, I can play, you just never bothered to ask," I said. "See?" I walked out to the court and make a free throw.

"That was just a lucky shot," Troy said. "Anyone could make that shot. It's pure luck."

"Look, I learned how to play basketball when I was dating you but as I learned you grew kind of distant and I never got the chance to actually tell you that I learned. Happy?" I asked. The whole gym was quiet.

"Oh," Troy said softly.

"Where'd you learn," Trevor asked breaking the silence. I looked over at him and smiled. He passed me the ball for me to shoot again.

"My dad and I used to play every single weekend when I was a kid, it was always so fun. But then he died and I stopped for a while. After that I just picked up a ball at the gym one day and I just start. Eventually I got better and better." I made another shot.

"I'm sorry about your dad," Trevor said. I smiled at him and nodded.

"It's okay, it was a really long time ago."

"You never told us that your dad played," Chad said excitedly. I laughed at him.

"Well he managed some of the players," I said. "So we used to play with some of them sometimes."

"Are you serious?" I nodded. "That is so cool!!"

"Yeah but oh well. I better go, free is about to end. You better change into something else. You guys smell. Oh and Chad weren't you supposed to be in the lab?" I said walking away. Chad dropped the ball and ran out of the gym.

"Ready for Darbus," Taylor asked me.

"Never in a million years," I moaned out. After we got our books we walked as slowly as possible. Chad came running up to us. "What happened?"

"Will forgot to come too, so we have to stay after school today to finish. But he says that it would be to late so we have to start over," He said.

"Have fun hon, we have to get to Drama," Taylor said pecking him on the lips and walking me to the classroom. "You ready," She asked like I was a five year old on their first day of school.

"Okay everyone, I have nothing to teach you're young minds today so this is a study hall today! Let your minds soar!" Ms. Darbus said. Well this is just great I already finished all of my homework.

"So have you thought about basketball tryouts," Taylor asked.

"I'm not sure if I should. I mean I might not even make the team I mean I'm not that good," I said. "When are they? Monday?" Taylor nodded. "I guess I'll tryout."

"Good, what can it hurt. And plus it'll make Troy miss you even more. You need a change anyways."

"What's that supposed to mean," I asked.

"You need to try different things. I mean you're capable of it." Taylor whispered. Ms. Darbus cleared her throat and looked at us.

"Sorry ma'am," We said.

"You can probably try new things too." She shook her head. "And I'm not doing this to make Troy miss me. I'm doing this for myself. I'm changing for myself. And if it makes Troy regret then that's just a bonus," I whispered.

"Okay I have to get to a meeting across town so you are free to go, just don't tell," She said. She threw her scarf around her neck and walked out of the room.

"Darbus actually did something cool," Jason said. Everyone got up and walked out.

"Come on, let's go," Taylor said. We got up and walked out. "Well even if you aren't it is."

"Well I'm not meaning for it too. Let's go. I have to get home," We got our books and walked towards our cars. "I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Bye," Taylor said pulling out. I started to pull out too until I saw someone standing behind the car. I jerked on the breaks and looked in the mirror. He walked around and looked at me through the window.

"What are you doing?"

"I need a ride home," He said. I looked at him shocked.

"you almost got run over for that? Gosh Trevor of course you can have a ride, get in," I said unlocking the doors.

"Here's the thing. My friends and I got detention so you would have to wait. That's why I don't have a ride in the first place," He said. I sighed and pulled back into the parking space.

"How'd you get detention," I asked getting out of the car.

"Talking without permission but it's only with Trinton and you did most of the work already," He said teasing me. I glared at him and walked in the room.

"Ms. Montez, you don't have detention. Did you need something?"

"No, I'm giving Trevor a ride home and I don't have anything to do so I thought I would see if you needed anything," I said. Trevor went and sat down, I followed him with my eyes until they landed on Troy. Crap! I forgot he had detention too!

"Actually no I don't but you can just work or do whatever," She said. "Now for you boys," She said looking at Troy and Trevor who were the only too. "You are going to be scraping the gum off the bottoms of my desks you kids always put it there so now you get it off."

"Mrs. Trinton that's horrible," Trevor said. "Don't you have anything else for us to do?"

"Yeah it's gross! I don't want to be touching other people's gum," Troy said.

"Yes but this seemed like it suited you two perfectly," She said. I couldn't help but let out a little giggle. She ignored me but their heads spun around and glared at me.

"Have fun," I said taking my books out of my bag and getting to work. Troy started on one side and Trevor started on the other, crawling under the desks and grabbing the gum.

"Get up," Troy said. Of course I was on his side. I stood up and sat down at the next desk over watching him scrape the gum off the bottom of the desk "Who usually sits here," He asked.

"Let me think about that, in this class, you." I said. "So you're not touching other people's gum, you're touching your own!"

"Oh."

"Yeah oh," I said smiling at him. My cell phone started ringing in my pocket. Trevor and Troy looked at me waiting for me to answer it. "It's just a text," I said.

"Who's it from," Trevor asked.

"My mom, she's going out of town again," I said reading it. "And she won't be back until Sunday night."

"Well I'll keep you company," Trevor said.

"Back to work boys," Mrs. Trinton said looking up from grading our tests.

Yeah I know nothing happened but please review and check out the story Are We A Family, it's sooooooooo good.
