AN: Sorry i didn't get this out sooner. Ive been ill and back and forwards to the doctors. I was lying in bed bored, so i got out my laptop and started writing. Not my best chapter, but....

It was like he was stalking her. Everywhere she went, he turned up only seconds later. It was getting annoying. He was doing all this for her name. Gabriella, was more than confused.

"Hey!" that voice came from behind her, she groaned.

"What!?"

Troy smiled, "Whoa, Calm down, I just said Hey." Gabriella groaned again and stopped walking. He was annoying her.

"Well, maybe I'll be okay with that if you weren't stalking me."

"I'm not stalking you."

"Sure, your not." She mumbled and carried on walking towards Reception.

"Cant, you just tell me.." He whined.

"What part of "No" do you not understand?" She asked nicely.

"The "No" part." He chuckled.

"Funny,"

"Look, the sooner you tell me your name the sooner ill disappear." He sighed stopping her.

Gabriella looked into his blue eyes, momentarily getting lost, she blinked and shook her head mentally cursing herself.

"Liar." She said simply, He shrugged. "Maybe."

"I told you, Guess." She smiled.

Troy shook his head, "I don't know. Carly?"

Gabriella laughed. "No." She started walking again, Troy trailing after her.

"Sarah?"

"No."

"Amy?"

"Nope,"

"Tell me!" He whined again.

"Bye Troy," She said walking into reception.

"Mia? Tara? Demi?"

She smiled and waved. "Bye."

Troy groaned, this was going to be harder than he thought.

Normally, Sharpay could be nice. Well, when she wanted, of course. Normally, she didn't surround herself around people that were….below her. But, she was desperate. And usually, Sharpay Evans was never desperate.

She walked into the dance studio, that was located way to far away from her cabin, and placed one hand on her hip.

Watching the girls practice their dancing she couldn't help but roll her eyes, she could do so much better.

The music came to and end, and the girls got into their final positions.

Sharpay started clapping slowly. She walked towards the girls. "Well done."

The girl at the front, who in Sharpays opinion looked like the leader, stepped closer and folded her arms.

"What do you want, Evans." She spat, her red hair falling out of its bun.

Sharpay shrugged and walked over to a chair, she fell into it and crossed her right leg over her left. She started to study her names.

"The better question is, what can I do for you."

The red head glared at her, "For us?? Why would you help us?"

Sharpay stood and walked over to the mirror that covered the full wall. She looked at herself and started to fix her hair.

"I hear you need some money, you know, for you end of camp performance or whatever it is."

"Its not an end of camp performance. Where not doing it for camp, where doing it for professional dancers, to see if we get noticed." The small brunette said from behind the red head.

Sharpay rolled her eyes again, and walked towards the red head. "What's your name?"

"Alice."

"Well, Alice, You help me, I help you. If you have my money, your going to get noticed right?"

Alice rolled her eyes. "We don't need money, we need to be able to dance."

"You also need props, costumes…..all that stuff right?" Sharpay smirked.

Alice looked to the floor and shrugged. "What do you want, Sharpay?"

Sharpay smiled. "Glad that where on the same page now."

"I swear I don't want to see another candy bar in my life." Taylor complained as she walked along the beach with Gabriella.

"I told you to stop."

"I know, but they never have candy bars in."

Gabriella laughed. "And their not going to have them in if you keep eating them."

"Oh, haha." Taylor smiled. "So you coming to the campfire tonight?"

"Campfire?"

"Yeah, the camp counselors' organize a party on the beach every few weeks. But its only on a Saturday." Taylor explained.

"Why every few weeks?"

Taylor shrugged. "They think their being strict with us or something."

"Are they fun? The parties?"

"Sometimes, last year was, someone kept spiking the drinks, the counselors were always wasted." Taylor laughed. "That's why they stopped them for a while, but then they carried on doing it."

"Do the drinks still get spiked?"

"I don't know, they never caught the kid that was doing it. So maybe."

Gabriella smiled. "I might go."

"Hey!" came a voice. Gabriella groaned. "Keep walking he might disappear."

Taylor laughed. "I doubt it."

"Just walk."

"Hey, I was calling you." Troy said running up behind them.

"No," Gabriella said. "You said "Hey". You could have been calling anybody."

"Well, since someone wont tell me their name…"

"Disappear." Gabriella said to him. "Now."

Troy smirked. "Actually, I wanted to talk to Taylor."

"Go ahead." Gabriella replied.

"Chad wanted to speak to you. He's over their….somewhere." Troy trailed off pointing to some rocks.

Taylor beamed. "Me? Why does he want me?"

Troy shrugged. "Probably lost his crayons or something, I don't know."

"Ill be right back G- Um, Girl!!" Taylor stopped. "Yeah, that works. Bye Girl!!" She ran off.

Troy smirked. "G?"

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Disappear."

"So your name begins with G?"

"You're a stalker."

"Oh come one, I'll know your name soon."

Gabriella just smiled. "Yeah , send me a letter when you figure it out, what? 10 years from now.""You don't know me."

"I don't want to know you.""That hurt."

"Good."

Gabriella carried on walking along the beach. She closed her eyes, desperately trying to block Troy out of her mind, their was something about him, she didn't know weather it was good or bad, but there was something there. She let the sound of the waves carry her to a different world. She loved the beach, ever since she was a little girl, her Grandpa took her their every day after school when she was little. And then he started getting ill. He wouldn't come to see her after school, and her Mom said he was "Busy".

He died a few months later of cancer. The worst day of Gabriella's life. She hasn't cried as much as she cried that day. She didn't cry after that. Not even when her Dad left. She vowed that no one else was worth her tears. She felt her eyes get glossy, she rubbed them and sighed.

"--So, the doctor said it was something to do with me eating a hamster…" Troy finished.

Gabriella started at him confused. She wasn't even listening to what he was saying. "What?"

"Well, I didn't eat the hamster, I would never do that but-"

"Troy, just, shhh." Gabriella said and walked towards the water.

"Are you okay?" Troy asked.

Gabriella nodded. "Just thinking."

"I love the beach." Troy stated. "it's a great thinking place."

Gabriella nodded. "Yeah, it is."

"Are you actually agreeing with me?" Troy asked.

Gabriella laughed. "Looks like it."

"Well, that's good."

"I suppose." She sniffed, sitting down, letting the water hit her feet.

"You going to the Campfire tonight?" Troy asked.

Gabriella nodded. Looking out towards to horizon.

"So, I'll see you their?"

"Looks like it, Bolton." Gabriella sighed.

"I'll talk to you later?"

"Maybe…."

Troy smiled and started walking towards the steps, leading off the beach. He couldn't explain it but that brunette girl was different to the others. She made Troy feel something he had never felt before, and he wanted to know what that was. He was desperate.

"Hey Troy!" A Blonde said running up to him.

"Oh, hey Jess."

"Have you seen Gabriella?"

Troy looked lost. "Ummm…"

"She like the same size as me, brown hair, tanned, pretty." Jess explained. "Its about her dance audition. You should see her dance!! She's amazing!"

Troy nodded, still lost. "I don't know who she is."Jess sighed and looked to her left. "OH, that's her!" She pointed towards the brunette sitting on the beach.

Troy went wide eyed. "Wait, that's Gabriella."

Jess nodded. "Yeah, I'll see you later Troy."Troy stared after Jess, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Gabriella." He whispered.
