Chapter 9

School examinations are over and the students were cleaning and arranging the environment for the end of term camping party. "Can't believe we will be on holidays... I'm going to miss you..." Gabriella said feigning a crying face.

"Hey, don't worry... We'll keep in touch and visit each other". Cassandra replied laughing.

"Babes, I'm tired... Let's go and rest." Gabriella said.

"We will get into trouble" Cassandra replied.

"Hmmmm, I know the perfect place to go and take a rest with getting into trouble..." Gabriella said with enthusiasm and started dragging Cassandra with her.

"Wait... Where are we going...?" Cassandra asked

"Just come with me " Gabriella said still walking and dragging Cassandra along with her.

"Gosh!, I just don't like that girl..." Kate said gritting her teeth as Gabriella and Cassandra walked pass her.

"Jeez... Kate, You are just jealous of the girl for being more smart, intelligent and prettier than you. And most importantly, for getting Liam's attention easily" Jane said with a serious look and Kate glared at her.

"Wow... Seems like I've gotten an ally" Kenneth said coming to stand next to Kate and smiling mischievously.

"What do you want Kenneth?" Kate asked sounding annoyed.

"Easy sweetheart... Here is the thing, You like Liam and I like Cassandra so we can, You know walk together to make sure they don't get along. Then you can have Liam and I can have Cassandra" Kenneth said with a smirk.

"Can't believe after all the beatings you received the other day you still want her" Kate said mockingly.

"Tsk... Come Kate, You know me well, I just don't want to commit murder that day. Anyways, do you want to join me in this or not?" Kenneth said and Kate stood there thinking about it. Of course this is really good, at least she would finally get rid of Cassandra.

"Allies?" Kate said stretching out her hand.

"Allies" Kenneth said shaking her hand and smiling mischievously.

....

Gabriella dragged Cassandra till they both entered the studio.

"Huh!... We can rest here and no body will disturb us" Gabriella said and they both sat down.

"What are you girls doing here?" Liam said entering the studio.

"Got too tired, and I guess this is a perfect hangout" Gabriella said.

"But I guess you don't get tired of eating" Liam replied and Cassandra feigned an angry face.

"Come... Darling... I was just joking..." Liam said feigning an apologetic face. Cassandra could only chuckle while Gabriella pouted her lips.

"Ok, ok,... Let's go have some pizza later" Liam said and Gabriella's face brightened up.

"Really?, can Cassandra come with us?" She asked.

"Sure... Cassandra, You will join us later right?" Liam said looking at Cassandra.

"Please don't say no..." He added when she did not replied.

"Ok..." Cassandra could only agree because of the hopeful look on their faces.

"Pick you up later then" Liam said and Cassandra nodded in agreement.

"So... You guys are planning to hang out without me? That's not fair" James said feigning an angry face.

"you can come with us James" Gabriella said laughing at the drama king and James could not help but smile like a kid that has finally gotten what he always wanted. But then Liam dragged him to the other side of the room.

"Hey You, don't try anything stupid... I know that you have a huge crush on my sister..." Liam said with a warning tune.

"Come on Liam... You also have a crush on Cassandra... So I guess Gabriella will be kinda lonely so you know I can..." James couldn't complete his sentence because Liam cut him off.

"It's OK... You can come with us... And mind you I don't just have a crush on her, I like her" he said making James to gape at what he said.
