"Hi Gabi," Taylor said.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked walking into the house. They followed me upstairs.

"We wanted to say that we're sorry. We just wanted you to be as happy as you could possibly be and we didn't thinik Trevor was right," Chad said. "We told him everything."

"I know," I said. "He was here earlier and he told me that you told him. Thanks guys, it means a lot."

"Are you two back together," Taylor asked. I knew the answer she was looking for, she almost looked scared of my answer.

"No, I'm taking a break from guys for a while," I said. They both had a relived look on their faces. "but I have to go, I'm having dinner at the Bolton's."

"what?" Taylor asked.

"I'm eating with the Bolton's," I said.

"Why?"

"Because I couldn't really say no now could I. They know my mom's gone again."

"That should be interesting," Chad said. Taylor nodded.

"Just be careful," Taylor said. I smiled and hugged her. "come on Chad, you said we were going out to dinner." I watched as he wrapped his arm around her and walked her out. They really were meant for each other.

I walked back over to the Bolton's and sat down on the couch pulling out my books and getting started.

"Whatcha doin?" Hannah asked popping up next to me. It was a good thing I was using pencil or there would be a permanent line all the way across the paper. "Sorry," She said sitting down next to me.

"Calculus," I said.

"Troy always complains about that is it really hard?"

"Kind of, you have to pay attention which is not one of your brother's strong points," I said. We both giggled a little.

"I heard that." Our heads went to the stairs. Troy was climbing down them slowly. "And I can pay attention very well."

"Really, were you paying attention when your mother told you to stay in bed and do your homework?" I asked.

"Yes I'm just not listening to her and I was doing my homework but it gave me a headache so I came down here," He said sitting on his sister.

"Troy!" She shrieked. "Get off me!! Gabi help!" he was smiling as she hit his back but it wasn't helping very much. I stood up and grabbed Troy's hands off of his lap and pulled even though he was tying to say on the couch

"Come on Troy, get off of your sister," I said pulling. He finally just got off of her but I was still pulling so we both went toppling over. No one said anything once we fell. "Whoops," I whispered. We both started leaning in when I realized what I was about to do and pushed him off of me.

"Gabi I need to talk to you," Hannah said. "troy go do your homework." She pulled me up the stairs and into her room.

"What's wrong?"

"We're you about to kiss my brother?" She asked.

"Maybe, I don't know! It was just kind of natural," I said. "I guess I just have to get out of that pattern of kissing your brother whenever."

"Well just be careful because he's been going around the house just talking to himself about you," She said.

"What? Why? Wait good things right? That is the second time today that I've been told to be careful," I said.

"Wow that was in a totally random order, but yes all good things but I think he's missing you."

"No, he's the one who broke up with me. If you think I'm going to forgive him just like that it's not going to happen," I said. When we walked back downstairs Troy was looking over my homework.

"Oh so that's how you do it," he said.

"Troy," I said grabbing my homework from him. "Oh hey did you study for the science test?"

"Nope, so I was very happy when he pushed it to Monday," Troy said.

"What happened to getting a tutor? I thought that if you got one more bad grade then you would get kicked off the team," I said.

"Troy's going to get kicked off of the team? I'm going to tell dad, he'll freak," Hannah said. "Actually I think I'll save it for a time when I need something."

"If I could run, I would kill you," Troy said.

"What happened to getting a tutor?" I asked cutting them off. "you said you were going to get one to help you study!"

"Well I didn't get around to it," He said shrugging.

"Yeah right, he just wanted to study with you," Hannah said. Troy gave her a glare and she ran up the stairs.

"Well then how are you going to study? You'll fail the test!"

"Hey!" Troy said.

"you know it's true," I said. He thought about it for a minute and nodded. "So what are you going to do? The test is in two days." He gave me the look, the look saying that he knew he shouldn't ask but he was going to anyways. "No way Troy."

"Please Gabriella?"

"I told you, no," I said. "I told you to go to that tutoring program and you didn't. Get Chad to study with you."

"Chad's just as bad as me," Troy said. "And plus he has Taylor."

"Well then you can go and study with them," I said determined not to let him talk me into this.

"But they kiss every five seconds," Troy whined. "Please Gabi, just this once? And maybe once more?"

"Troy, come on," I said. "You're going to have to find someone else one day."

"Dinner!" Lucy yelling stopping Troy from saying whatever he was going to say. We walked over to the table and sat down, Hannah came with her father and then Lucy with all of the food.

"It smells great mom," Hannah said. We all started eating in a comfortable. "So mom, dad I think you should know something."

"What is it Hannah? Is it something serious?" Jack asked. Troy gave his sister a little glare.

"It's nothing to do with me but actually Troy," She said. "Ow!" I looked over at Troy who just shrugged. "If Troy—"

"Don't you dare Hannah," Troy said.

"What's going on," Lucy asked worried. And I just sat there watching this whole thing play out.

"If Troy fails the next test he's going to be kicked off the team!" Hannah yelled. "And he was supposed to get a tutor but he didn't so now he's begging Gabi!"

"I'm gonna kill you!" Troy yelling pushing back from the table. "Hey my back's feeling better," He said before running after his sister.Lucy, Jack and I all grabbed a couple of the lighter bowls and watched as Hannah got up and ran away from her brother.

"So what's going on?" Lucy asked.

"I helped Troy study for the geometry test last Thursday afternoon but I told him that he needed to get a tutor that wasn't me because I would not do it anymore because well you know," I started.

"Yeah, Troy told me about that when he came home that night." Jack said.

"But he ended up not getting a tutor for some reason and since he got a bad grade on his last Chem test he can't get another one or else he'll have a bad enough grade to be kicked off the team," I said.

"what!" Jack yelled.

"Yeah and so for the last around fifteen minutes he's been begging him to help him study," I finished off.

"I cannot believe my son," Lucy said. "This is just like him."

"Hey Gabriella," Jack asked.

"Yes?"

"Well I was just wondering, just for this one time," He started.

"Are you serious," I asked.

"Maybe. Please, he can't get kicked off the team we've got a game against the team that we almost lost to next week," Jack said.

"I don't think so I mean I told him last week that I wouldn't do it again because he didn't want me in his life any more. It was only after I said it that I realized it would never happen," I said.

"Please Gabi," He asked. This was a first, I had never seen Jack beg for anything except for to Lucy about basketball.

"Jack stop pressuring the girl," Lucy said. "Gabriella you don't have to if you don't want to."

I broke. "I'll do it but just this once. I understand what you're saying about the whole basketball thing and I don't want to be known in school as the single person who helped us lose."

Man that was a weird place to end it but again I'm tired. I'll try and update soon! Please review!

Amanda!
