Special thanks to Zanessafan1 for my first review it really made my day!! 3


After having my shower I dried my hair and put it up in a messy bun.

I didn't bother to put on makeup; I wasn't trying to impress anyone.

I dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants and a white tank top before heading downstairs.

The table was set and the macaroni was sitting on the table.

Obviously it was some sort of a peace offering or Ben had matured while at college.

I rolled my eyes and moved into the kitchen to grab a soda.

I opened the fridge and bent down to search through the bottom shelves for a coke.

"Nice view Miss. Montez," His voice caused me to freeze just as I was about to wrap my fingers around the can.

He was there standing behind me leaning up against one of the counters. I grabbed my coke and stood up before turning towards him.

"Glad you like it, too bad you'll never have it," I said glaring at him.

He smirked and winked at him "We'll see," he said continuing to stare at me.

I rolled my eyes and turned from the room, my brothers and dad didn't even let me date guys my age let alone 22 year olds.

If he tried anything it would be the end of his and Ben's friendship.

I went back into the dining room with Troy trailing behind me.

Ben was standing sheepishly beside the table an ashamed smile on his face.

"Let's just eat," I said shoving away the fact I wanted to slap him across the face for letting his friend throw me in the pool.

Jude appeared out of nowhere and we all sat down, I sat at one end with Ben at the other and Jude and Troy sat on either side.

Silence fell over the table as I took some macaroni on my plate and started eating.

I could feel all 6 of their eyes on me and it really bugged me.

"Will you stop staring at me and eat your meal!" I exclaimed in annoyance glaring at all of them.

Jude laughed lightly and took the macaroni bowl ladling out some for himself.

Ben took it next and then Troy until they all had some and we were eating silently.

I nearly jumped from my seat when I felt a hand on my knee.

I knew who's it was right away and I shoved it off quickly looking up to glare at Troy.

He chuckled and removed his hand. Ben looked up at Troy confused at why had laughed and I rolled my eyes.

I finished with my meal and stood up,

"I'm going upstairs to do my homework and go to bed so don't light the house on fire or anything and you'd better not make too much noise and keep me up," I told them before heading towards the stairs, "Oh and clean the table and kitchen before dad get's home!"

I continued up the stairs and into my room slamming the door behind me.

I didn't feel like changing into my real pjs there was no point, what I was wearing was fine.

I pulled out my math book and started working on it.

I didn't have any trouble, school came naturally for me, so did friends, sports, singing, dancing, I was even above average when it came to drawing and writing.

I tried not to show it though, everyone else thought it was so amazing but I didn't really.

What was so special about being about kick a ball or sing on key.

What I did enjoy was cars, the mechanics of them and the likes.

I found it fascinating how they worked and I took all the courses I could at school.

I was already more than capable of fixing our family cars whenever they needed to be fixed.

I finished my homework at about 8, which meant dad would be home soon.

I sighed and turned on my TV settling back to watch a couple shows before going to bed.

I heard the door slam down stairs and knew my father had returned.

I could hear mixture of voices and knew them to be the four boys talking amongst themselves.

I turned up the volume on the TV to block them out but Troys voice still seemed to cut through all the noise and I heard him talking.

Saying hello to my dad, telling him about himself, making some lame joke about Ben I could hear it all clearly.

I groaned and scrunched my nose up in annoyance.

Why couldn't they all just shut up and go back to their own things.

I was so focused on trying not to hear them that I was actually hearing them more clearly so when my phone rang I jumped in surprise.

I let out a sigh and tried to calm myself before grabbing my phone and flipping it open.

"Hello?" I asked not bothering to check who it was.

"Hey girl!" I knew that voice anywhere it was my best friend Sharpay.

"Hey Shar, what's up?" I asked casually.

"Pretty good, I was just wondering if you need a ride tomorrow," She asked me.

"Yes please, that would be cool is Ryan driving us?" I asked as I turned on my alarm clock for 6:30am.

"Yea and he's picking up Andre on the way too," Sharpay told me, Ryan was her older brother and Andre was his boyfriend.

Yes boyfriend, he is totally and completely gay and a total drama queen, even more so then Sharpay.

"Kay that's cool, OMG I totally have to tell you about Ben's friend, he's a total hotty but a complete jerk! He threw me in the pool within the first 5 minutes he was here!" I explained to her dramatically.

"Oooooo! Sounds scandalous!" Sharpay squealed on the other line, "he must be 22 just like your brother! I wonder if he's dating."

"He better not be because he was totally hitting on me all night! He called me babe, told me my butt was nice and was totally rubbing my leg under the table at dinner tonight," I exclaimed still in my dramatic rage.

"Oh My God! A 22 year old was totally, totally hitting on you, and he's staying at your house!" Sharpay was pretty much screaming in my ear.

"Yea okay Sharpay I think we've established this, now calm down and stop screaming at me!" I exclaimed grinning at how silly my friend was.

"Okay, okay but we are totally coming early and we are all coming for breakfast so expect us and make a good breakfast so I can see him!" Sharpay told me excitedly.

I laughed, "Okay Shar whatever you say but I don't know if he'll be awake that early."

Sharpay didn't say anything for a minute, "Okay well just like make a lot of noise 'by accident' or something and make sure they get up or, put something in the guest room tonight that you will need for tomorrow and then when you have to go in there in the morning just tell him you left it there!" Sharpay exclaimed obviously happy with herself for coming up with her plan.

"That's a horrible idea Shar!" I exclaimed, "I never go in the guest room! It won't work, we'll just have to hope he's an early riser like Ben, anyways I have to go to bed, and I'll see you tomorrow, say 7:30?" I said glancing at the clock, it was nearly 9:30; we must have been talking longer than I thought.

"Yea okay, see yea then Ella!" Sharpay called softly into the phone.

I hung up and tossed my phone to the end of my bed before getting up.

I always need a bed time snack before I could go to bed so I headed downstairs.

I flicked the light on in the kitchen and search through the cupboards for a snack.

A Scooby-doo fruit snack and a miniature bag of mini Ritz was what I came up with.

I got a glass of chocolate milk too and sat down at the island counter.

I was munching away when Ben wandered in.

I glanced over at him and he smiled at me as he grabbed a coke and then sat down beside me.

"Hey, sorry about the whole pool thing," he said as he opened his can of coke and took a sip.

I smiled, "It's alright, at least I got you guys wet too," I said with a smirk.

Ben laughed slightly and nodded, "Yea you did," he agreed with me.

"Oh Sharpay, Ryan and Andre are coming over tomorrow for breakfast to see you again and stuff, so you had better be up," I told him munching on a cheesy Ritz.

Ben grinned slightly, "I'll be up, me and Troy go for a run every morning at 6:30 before starting the day so we should be good," he told me.

"Good," I told him giving him a smile as I stood up, I dropped off my empty glass in the dishwasher and my empty wrappers in the trash. "Goodnight," I said before leaving the kitchen and heading to the stairs.

Great, so I knew Troy would be up, Sharpay would like that.

I climbed the stairs to my room and slipped in.

I pulled my hair from the bun it was in and let the curls cascade down my back.

I checked my email quickly and then went to say goodnight to dad and Jude, I don't know why but I always had to say goodnight to everyone before going to sleep it was a comfort thing I guess.

My dad was in his office obviously he brought his work home again tonight.

"Goodnight dad," I said softly from the door.

He glanced up and smiled, "Goodnight Gabsy," he said before looking back down at his computer.

I left and moved on to Jude's room, he was sitting at his electric piano in the corner of his room when I walked in.

"Night Jude, Sharpay, Ryan and Andre are coming over for breakfast tomorrow," I told him.

"Oh, okay cool, goodnight Gabby," he said turning around to wave at me.

I waved back and left his room, I was almost to my room when I heard Troy's voice.

"What, no goodnight Troy?" he asked feigning hurt.

I rolled my eyes, and turned around to face him, he was standing at the door of the guest room where he was staying while with us.

"Goodnight Mr. Bolton," I said, he grinned and saluted me mockingly.

"Goodnight Miss. Montez," he returned.

I cracked a small smile and turned around quickly to hide it and marched to my room.

I closed the door behind me and hurried to my bed climbing in and flicking off the light.

Tomorrow was going to be interesting, I knew it.


Okay guys thanks so much for everyone that reviews and subscribes! Just to warn you guys I had trouble saying 'Troy' and not 'Edward' the entire time I was writing this so if 'Edward' every pops up out of nowhere it's actually suppose to be 'Troy' and I missed it while proof reading!

I'll try and get the next chapter out as soon as I can!
