The morning came way too quickly for Cloe. "Get up!" Rachael said nervously shaking Cloe, "Get up!" "Wake up sleepy head." Ryan's soothing voice spoke more clearly in hear mind than Rachael's had. She opened her eyes a crack.

When her eyes adjusted, she saw Rachael and Ryan kneeling over her. When she saw Ryan's face beaming at her, memories of the night before flooded back in her mind. "Hey there, Angel." Ryan said to her, "How are you feeling?" He grabbed her hand and held it.

"What time?" Cloe asked a bit light-headed. "It's three in the afternoon!" Rachael answered a bit worried, "We all woke up around nine or ten this morning." "We called your mom and told her to pick you up sometime tonight." Ryan explained, "We got a bit worried about you."

"Are you sure you're feeling all right?" Rachael checked. "Yeah, I'm just a bit hungry." Cloe said weakly as she tried to get up, "That's all. Really." Rachael and Ryan helped her to stand up and they walked her over to the bed.

"I'm just glad I didn't wake up somewhere else." Cloe heaved a shaky sigh as they helped her sit down. "Us, too." Rachael agreed. "I'll get you a snack." Ryan offered and left the room. When they were sure he was out of ear shit, Rachael spoke up.

"All right, spill." she demanded. "What do you mean?" Cloe looked up from where she was sitting at the end of the bed. "What happened last night?" Rachael demanded to know. "I don't really know." Cloe began as she told Rachael the events of the night before.

"He kissed you?" Rachael said shocked, "And he slept with you!" "It's not that bad!" Cloe told her, "It only sounds bad when you say it out loud." "Don't think that Sharpay won't find out about this!" Rachael warned, "And she'll definitely boot the three of us."

"Well, I won't let her do anything like that." Cloe reassured. "You better hope so!" Rachael began, "For your sake, for my sake, and for Ryan's sake." Just then, Ryan came through the door with snack bars for all of them. "Hey." he said enthusiastically, "What did I miss?"

"Nothing." Rachael eyed him as he walked over to the bed, "You missed nothing at all."

(A/N) Okay…even I know that this chapter was way too short. What did you expect from me…a novel? Well, actually you probably did. I apologize for the shortness of this chapter…and the last few. I hate myself for making them so short…(bad me, bad me)! Well, anywho (there's that word again)…R&R!
