Yo to the peoples! I'm so glad that I managed to get a chapter up and I decided to be nice to you guys and see if I can TRY and update everyday for now on. Thanks to all of you who did review and acted patiently for my updates! It means a lot and I hope my writing continues to improve hahaha.

The rest of homeroom managed to be completely silent. Why? Well Zak, Tay, and I usually feed the loud level in the classroom because we never stop talking. Yes, Troy and Chad normally talk with their big mouths and all but I guess they could feel what Tay and I were feeling. Tension.

I looked over at Troy who was silently doodling on his paper just like Zak was. The only difference was his body language and the facial expression that was written all over his face. Zak was completely hunched over and he looked like he either wanted to shoot everyone in the room or just himself. Troy was only hunched over a little bit and he had that goofy smile that said he had no idea what he was doing.

Troy looked up and smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back, even if I was worried about Zak. I watched as Troy pulled out his phone and he pointed it out. I nodded in response and grabbed out my phone as well. (Bold=Gabi; Bold/Underlined=Troy) A.N: I refuse to use text ling this time around. Hah. I personally don't use text lingo and I'm not going to start now when I'm typing a story…

What happened this morning?

Im not sure…

Wadya mean youre not sure

I tried to talk to him and all he did was keep walking away from me like…well he was angry with ME

Zak could never be angry with you

Well now im not so sure about that…what if he is?

Think about it Gabs…would he really be angry with you the next day, when you didn't do anything?

Well I don't know how to read boys Troy! I don't know whether or not he's angry with me or he's angry at the world or…if it's seriously something personal

Well by the looks of his little outburst I think its something personal…

So he's not mad at me?

I don't think he is…

Well will he ever want to talk about it?

He will when he's ready. Just don't pry and let him come to you

But what if that takes forever?

It won't. He's just…stubborn. And he's trying to act like he can do all of this on his own. But he'll realize that he needs all of us to get through…whatever is bothering him

I'm just worried about him Troy…

Of course you are. Well just wait. He'll talk about it when he's ready. Don't do something stupid.

Like?

Going to his mom and asking him about it

That's not a bad idea…

Gabi…

KIDDING! I wouldn't really do that. Unless I have to wait for months on end and he doesn't change his attitude…

Gabi, really. It's that whole trust thing. You know? When he's ready, he'll tell you himself and well if you go and break that trust then he'll…well he probably wont forgive you.

Yeah, yeah. I know. Hey..when did I get such a smart boyfriend, huh?

The day I asked you out! :P

Oh really? Well I recall you being kind of a….well you weren't brightest crayon in the box when you asked me out.

Well either way, you've always had a smart boyfriend. You just never bring him out.

Even when I make sure you do your own homework?

Even then.

Riiight. Well then I guess I'll have to make sure I bring that out again…

RIIIIIING RIIIIING

I looked up from my phone and noticed that Taylor was shaking her head at me. I blushed and then looked down at my phone and noticed that Troy had sent me one last text.

Good luck with that.

I rolled my eyes as I put my phone back in my bag and then I quickly grabbed it as Troy waited for me near the door. "So you think he'll be ready soon?" I whispered quickly as I watched Zak roll his eyes as he walked through the door.

"I hope."

XOXOXOXOXOX

I walked to the lunch table and saw all the usual faces, including Luke. All except one, Zak. I looked around and Taylor just shrugged. "He told us that he might be coming back. He said he had to do something and he'd be back if he could be." Taylor explained, while poking her food with her fork.

"Oh…okay."

I sat down and Troy handed me an apple. I stared at it like Troy had just given me a piece of cardboard to eat. "No thanks." I said, pushing it back towards Troy.

"Gabi, you need to eat. Don't worry about Zak now." Luke picked up the apple up and gave it back to me.

"Yeah…what he said." Troy muttered, rolling his eyes.

I laughed silently to myself and grabbed Troy's arm so he knew that I wasn't trying to flirt back with Luke as I said, "Thanks Luke, but no thanks. I don't really—I'm just not really hungry. I'll eat later or something."

I got up and looked around. "I think I'm gonna go outside to get some fresh air."

Troy looked at me with concern and I just gave him a crook smile for some reassurance. "I'll see you guys later."

I went outside and found a tree to sit underneath. See, the problem was I didn't get it. I couldn't bare seeing Zak as upset as he was. He was acting like the world had ended and he wouldn't even talk about it. We did promise each other that whatever happened with each other we'd tell the other one. He made me promise that if I was upset in any sort of way, I would go and talk to him no matter how big of a problem it was. So, does that mean it doesn't apply the other way around?

"What did I do wrong?" I muttered to myself.

"Nothing…"

I looked up, my eyebrows furrowed. "What?"

"Hey, sorry. I followed you and uh was wondering if you wanted any company…"

"No thanks Luke. I mean, it's a nice thought and all, but I kind of just want to be alone with my thoughts."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. But we'll talk later okay?" I said and Luke just nodded.

He stuck his hand in his pocket. "Oh okay…"

"Oh, yknow what Luke? I…-"

"Yeah?"

"I could definitely use the company."

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude on your uh…'Gabi time'." He chuckled nervously.

"No it's no problem." I said, moving over so he had room to sit next to me.

Luke gave me a small smile, then sat down next to me and relaxed a little bit. "So that thing with Zak, it's really bothering you?"

"Yeah…"

"Well I'm sure he'll come around."

"Well I'm sure he will too, but I just wish he would just felt comfortable doing that when it happened. I mean, I hate seeing guys sad, cuz…well you guys are the ones comforting us lonely girls." I gave a light laugh.

"Well that is true, but guys don't really like talking about stuff like that."

"Yeah I get that. It's just, Zak and I are really close. I just wish he trusted me to tell me what's going on."

"I get it." Luke said, "But hey, he'll come around."

"Yeah, that's what Troy said."

"What did I say?"

I looked up to see Troy, who didn't look very happy. "Hey Troy. You wanna join?"

Troy looked at Luke and then back at me, "I thought you said that you wanted some alone time…"

"I did, but I felt bad because Luke came all the way out here to come talk to me and I didn't want him to think that it wasn't just for nothing. But you can join us Troy."

"No thanks." Troy grumbled as he walked away.

I watched Troy walk away and then I noticed that Zak was coming towards the school entrance. "I hate this." I muttered.

"Hate what?"

"Troy's mad at me now and Zak won't talk to me!" I said, a little too loudly.

"Well I'm here for you." Luke insisted.

"Thanks Luke, but…I kind of…well Zak has been pretty much my best friend throughout this whole little vacation of mine and I feel really comfortable talking to him. I mean, no offense to you or anything, but I just would rather be talking to Zak. And Troy…well he's my boyfriend and I should be telling him this stuff and not you…" I sighed, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings or anything Luke it's just I don't feel quite comfortable telling you these things when I barely really know you."

"I understand, Gabs." Luke said, "But you can get to know me. I'm willing to be an open book for you because well…you are pretty much my only friend here. I can see Troy pretty much hates me and Zak only puts up with me because you do. I'll tell you whatever you want. I promise."

"Thanks Luke, but maybe some other time?" I said, getting back up on my feet, "The bells about to ring and…well we need to get back inside." I said, holding out my hand.

"Oh, yeah, right." Luke nodded, taking my hand as I tried to pull him up.

XOXOXOXOXO

"I don't know Kayla, he just won't talk to me!" I yelled into the phone frustrated.

"Well maybe he wants his own time to think about it before he tells anybody. I mean, that makes sense, I think. Maybe he's too afraid to tell you because you'll think of him differently. Guys like…well you know, to be seen as strong and independent."

"Are you sure? I mean he told me he was willing to tell me whatever Kay. I don't get it. It's like I didn't exist today Kay."

"I'm sure he just wants some alone time to cool off Gabi. Don't be so overly stressed about it." Kayla explained.

"But what about Troy? He didn't look too happy about Luke. I mean, I told him he could join, and I totally understand why he's not exactly happy about it, but don't you think he overreacted?

"Well Gabi, I hate to say this, but I think I understand Troy's side. Luke was definitely hitting on you and you kind of encouraged it. I know you didn't mean to, but still."

"But Kay…I told him I didn't want to be talked to and-"

"But you still let him sit down and talk to you."

"I felt bad!"

"So?"

"Ughhh…okay so you have a point."

"Exactly. So, I guess it's your turn to apologize to Troy. And next time around, let Zak have his space. He'll come to you."

"Yeah, I guess you're right about the Troy thing. But what if Zak doesn't?"

"Then…maybe you can meddle in. But wait for a week or two."

"Alright…"

"Yeah. Oh and Sam says hi. We gotta go and study for a big test that's this Friday so I'll talk to you later okay?"

"Mkay. Bye Kay."

"Bye Gabs."

I guess it's better to get the drama out of the way now than to have more at the end of the year.

Well I hope you guys all enjoyed the chapter. I feel as if that chapter was written a lot better than the one before. Thanks to all who reviewed!

Shout-outs:

XxBabiiGurlxX: Thanks for reviewing.

Pumpkinking5: Yeah, Zak is. I guess we'll all have to find out what's going on in his mind later, right? I hope you enjoyed and thanks for reviewing, as always!

Crazy4BIEBER17MrsJustinBieber: Yeah…I noticed. And I guess I'll just have to wait for it to get better but then again, I don't know if it will actually go away, but oh well. That's okay. Thanks for reviewing!

x-TammieBaybii-x: Well hey stranger. I'm on most of the time, but you're never on when I am. Which is odd. And I don't know what Zak is dealing with.
