A/N: Sorry I didn't update earlier – I was out for most of the morning.

Ryan was sitting in his room, trying to work out his camera he'd just bought for his photography course. As he struggled to set it up, Jeff looked at him, amused. But then Ryan felt a hand take the camera off of him, and he saw Jeff setting it up. Ryan watched him confused – Jeff was helping him? Why?

Once Jeff had finished setting the camera up, Ryan smiled and muttered a thanks.

"Hey. Why aren't you talking? You shy or something?" Jeff asked.

"I'm not shy..it's just that I didn't think you'd really want to talk to me, because of what I told you when we first met."

Jeff looked at him. "What did you tell me?" He asked.

"You know..that I was in drama and everything – and heres you..the basketball guy." Ryan replied.

Jeff laughed. "Oh, don't worry. I'm not really that type of guy. I talk to everyone."

Ryan smiled. "Oh, okay. Good."

"So, how'd you end up being friends with Troy Bolton and the rest of the basketball team? You never told me." Jeff asked, as he walked over to his wardrobe.

"Oh, well. You know me and my sister were in the theatre?" Ryan asked as Jeff nodded. "Well no one really liked us, you know? My sister was way too bossy, and hated everyone out of the drama department. Actually, she hated everyone in the drama department aswell. But she'd always suck up to Troy – I reckon she liked him, but she never told me if she did. Anyway,

This new girl – Gabriella came to the school after New Year, and was instantly friends with Troy. She was a braniac, and Troy was the jock – but somehow they got along great. In the end, we found out that they'd met up on their vacation, singing karaoke. Yeah, I know – Troy singing karaoke? No one would have thought." Ryan said as Jeff looked at him, confused.

"Well anyway, long story short now – Troy and Gabriella auditioned for the leads in the school play, and won them from us. In the end, me and Sharpay got talking to Gabriella and her best friend Taylor – another braniac, and found out they were nice once you got to know them. So we became close friends with them, and the jocks. And then Troy and Gabriella started dating, and so did Chad and Taylor. Now we're all this close." Ryan finished, moving his thumb and index finger only about a centimetre apart to explain how close they all were.

Jeff nodded as he shut his wardrobe door, holding his basketball uniform. "I see. Wanna play?"

Ryan shook his head. "I don't do ball."

"Oh, come on." Jeff said as Ryan agreed.

"Great. Get changed and meet me by the courts. I'm gonna go get changed in the bathroom." Jeff said, as he walked out of the room.

Ryan sighed. Well, atleast he didn't have anyone who hated him now – yet, anyway.

Kelsi was sitting on her bed, sighing. Kate got off of the computer and walked over to the bed.

"What's up?"

"Oh, it's just that I miss my friends." Kelsi replied.

Kate was just about to say something, when Kelsi started talking again.

"I mean, you're an awesome friend and everything, but I miss my friends from high school, you know?"

Kate nodded. "So do I – I haven't heard anything from my friends since I've been here. I'm wondering if they've forgotten about me."

"Aw, I'm sure they haven't. Why don't you email or phone one of them?" Kelsi suggested.

Just then, Kelsi's phone beeped. She picked it up and saw that she'd just received a text message. She read it out aloud.

'Hey, Kels. We're all meeting at the beach down here on Saturday – if you wanted to come? I know it will take you ages to get here, but it's just a suggestion. Ask Ryan as well. Text back if you want to come.

Xx Gabs.'

Kelsi looked up at Kate. "Should I go?"

Kate shrugged her shoulders. "It's up to you. I'm sure it will be nice to see everyone again."

Kelsi smiled. "Alright. I'll phone Ryan now. Hey, you should come as well. It will be a much better road trip with three of us."

Kate smiled. "Sure."

Kelsi dialed Ryan's number and waited for it to be answered.

"Hey Kels. What's up?"

"Hey! Well I got a text from Gabs, and they're all meeting down at the beach on Saturday. Do you wanna go? I'm going, and Kate's coming too."

"Sure. I'll go! Well sorry Kels, but I've gotta go – I'm going down to the courts to play basketball with Jeff." Ryan said.

"Okay, I'll text Gabs. And Jeff as in your roomie? You both okay now?" Kelsi asked.

"Yeah we're good. Well I gotta go now. See ya later." Ryan said as he put down his phone.

Kelsi smiled and sent Gabriella a message back. It would finally be the whole gang back together – even if it was only for one day.

"Chad here!" Zeke called, as Chad passed the ball to him.

Chad, Zeke, Orlando and Matt were, again, playing ball. Although it wasn't the same without the whole East High basketball team, it was still fun, and Matt was learning lots with Chad's, Zeke's and Orlando's help. They decided to sit down for a bit and get a drink as they were tired.

"So, Matt, Orlando – you both still coming to the beach, yeah?" Zeke asked.

"Yeah – you can never pass up a day to the beach." Matt said.

"True. And you can never pass up a day to see them all again." Chad replied.

"Chad Danforth? Going sloppy?" Zeke asked, laughing as Chad hit him on the arm.

"I'm not sloppy."

"You are. You love your girlfriend – Taylor is it?" Orlando said, smiling.

"Yeah, I love Taylor – sue me!" Chad replied with a grin on his face.

"Aww..Chad, how cute?" Zeke said, messing up Chad's hair.

"Hey! The hair man! Careful!" Chad told Zeke, as he tried to sort out his hair.

Zeke laughed. That was one thing that hadn't changed about Chad.

A/N: So that's the chapter. Expect an update on Monday sometime probably.
