Chapter 14

"We're back!" they all yelled.

Ryan and Sharpay looked up from their fight. "Oh my god! You're back!" Ryan yelled. He darted over to them, "What happened? How'd you get lost? When did Chad and Taylor find you guys? How'd you survive the storm!?" He flooded them with questions.

"Whoa, Ryan, calm down." Gabriella said, placing her hand on his shoulder, "We'll explain everything when everyone is here."

"Right. Sorry." He backed away to give them all some space.

Everyone, including Ryan and Sharpay, started walking back to camp, "Look who's back!" Ryan sang.

Zeke, Jason, Kelsi, and Martha looked up from doing there various camp chores. There faces lit up with joy when they saw there friends were ok. "So, did you guys end up finding water?" Zeke asked.

"Well, we found a river but it's a few hours into the jungle. Troy marked a trail, though, so we can get to it without getting lost. I figured we could collect water once a week, or something like that." Taylor answered.

"So we have to walk through miles of jungle just to get fresh water? Eww, I'm so not taking that job." Sharpay said.

"We might all have to take that job if we want enough water to last us a week." Troy explained.

"Yeah, Shar. We need water, and a lot of it, especially if we wanna wash up in clean water." Ryan added.

"Fine. But only because I'm not washing my hands with salt water." She agreed.

Ryan was gathering some fruit from a small tree in the jungle, when Sharpay approached him, "Can I ask you a favor?" she said in a fake sweet voice.

"Um… sure," Ryan answered, curious why his sister was talking the way she was.

"Could you go to the guys' tent and get me Zeke's video diary." She said, giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Why? It's not like you can watch it. That's invading his privacy."

"Well…I…um…I was gonna…" She searched her mind for an excuse.

"Why do you wanna watch someone's personal tape?"

"Do you wanna know the truth?" Ryan nodded, eager to know his sisters answer.

"I wanna know if Zeke likes me."

"Because…" Ryan said.

Sharpay rolled her eyes. Her brother could be slow sometimes. "Because I LIKE HIM!" she said a little too loud.

"Oh." He said, looking down towards the jungle floor.

"So will you do it?" she asked.

"I don't know…"

"Please!" she pleaded, giving him more puppy dog eyes.

"Alright, fine. But if I get caught, it's on your head! Meet me here in an hour." He turned around and headed towards camp to drop off the fruit, and to start his new mission.

"Fabulous!" Sharpay squealed.

Ryan stood at the opening of the guys' tent. He looked around. Troy was sitting on the beach with Gabriella, talking, Chad was cutting up fire wood from a branch, and Zeke and Jason had volunteered to get water from the river. The coast was clear. He slowly unzipped the door and crept in. He walked over to Zeke's sleeping bag and was surprised to see his tape lying right on it. "That was easy," he said to himself. He took the tape and placed it under his hat. He then snuck out of the tent, and headed back to the jungle to meet Sharpay.

"Ryan!" Sharpay yelled, "You're two minutes late! My love life is in your hands, you know!"

"She timed me!" Ryan thought. "Here," he said, pulling out the tape from under his hat, "But you gotta let me watch, too."

"Aren't you the one who said it's an invasion of privacy?" She asked.

"Yeah, but, I just want to protect the tape, and Zeke's privacy." He said, crossing his arms.

"Whatever. Fine, you can watch. Now come, I'm waiting here!" she started walking away.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." He said following her.

Sharpay had the camera and her hand and was putting the tape into it.

"Are you sure about this?" Ryan questioned as Sharpay hit play.

"Yes, now shut up! It's starting!"

Zeke's Video Diary:

So…Jason just told me about these video diary things. I thought it was a cool idea, a good way to kinda vent…I guess. Especially since I've had a lot on my mind lately. So first off, the guys are still a little creeped out about my baking, but no more then they are about Troy's singing. But they like when I bake them stuff. But then there's my family. My parents just got a divorce. I'm living with my Dad in Albuquerque, where I've lived my whole life, while my Mom moved to Los Angeles and took my little brother with her. He was my first best friend. My parents would tell us stories of how we'd do silly things together when I was four and he was three. I really miss him. Then there's college. I'm not sure if I even have enough money saved to go. The tournament in Hawaii was supposed to have at least 20 college scouts. We could've all got scholarships. There were even people looking at the cheerleaders and the half-time performers. It was scholarship city. But it's too late now. And honestly, I'm in no hurry to get home. Once you get used to sleeping in a cramped tent, only drinking water, and eating fruit and fish, it's actually nice, stress-free. So that's it for now. Bye.

A/N- Ooo, how will Sharpay and Ryan react to Zeke's tape? The earliest I'll update is Sunday because I decided to give FanFiction up for Lent. (a religious thing, ask in your review if you don't know what it is.) I'm cheating, though, and doing it on Sundays. (Bad me, lol)Reviews please!
