(Andrea's POV)

I watched Jakey swim happily on the shallow side. He is so cute! I looked around, and saw Gab, sitting at the edge of the pool, her feet in the water. Something was keeping her occupied on her phone, because she hadn't taken her eyes off it since she came out here. "Hey Gab!" I said, and sat next to her. "Hey lovely! What's up?" She smiled, and looked up at me. "Oh, nothing... Just watching them be idiots..." I said, and gestured towards Nick and Chris, who were spraying each other with water guns. Gab's eyes looked over at Nick, and then quickly shot in the other direction. "Oh, cool. Hey, when Mama Rubi gets home, do you wanna come over to Thomas's with me? You can bring Chris too." I thought about it, I loved Thomas, but I couldn't leave Nick alone. "Eh, that's okay. I kind of promised I'd stay with Nick..." "Oh, that's fine... Um, Drea? How is he?" Gab asked, looking down. I half smiled. She still cared. "He's um, okay... Really guilty..." She nodded. "Just, let him know I hope he's okay... I'm not a heartless bitch... I'm just, hurt." I smiled, and side hugged her. "I will. Oh, hey look! Mama Rubi is home." She looked, and smiled. "I'm gonna get going. Bye Drea!" She quickly hugged me, and Jakey, and then walked to the front yard. As soon as she was out of sight, I ran to Nick. "She still cares Nick! She wanted me to tell you that she hopes you're okay." Nick lit up, and hugged me, both of us jumping up and down. Nick stopped jumping at the sound of his phone ringing. "I've got it!" I ran to the table, and picked up his phone. "Wait Drea N-" "Hello?" I answered, cutting Nick off. "Drea? Hey girl! It's Katie. Where's Nick? I've gotta talk to him about that party we were gonna go to together!" I stared at Nick, my mouth wide open from shock. First Michaela, now Katie...

(Gabrielle's POV)

Me and Thomas walked to his house, and when we walked in, I heard Makenna giggling. "DINNY!" Thomas looked at me nervously. "I forgot.. Vinny's over..." "It's cool." I shrugged, and took a seat in the living room. It didn't take long for Vinny to join us there. "Hey Thomas... Gabrielle..." I half smiled, and looked down at my phone. All the ICON girlz were tweeting about some party, that I had yet to be invited to. "Hey Gab! You should come with us to the party later..." Thomas smiled, I guess he had seen my phone. "I don't know Thomas... Am I really welcome there?" I asked nervously. "Come on Gabrielle... I'm sure if I can come, you can too... And plus, I've crashed a party before! It's not that bad!" Vinny encouraged. I laughed. "Coming from the kid that everyone was glaring at the whole party..." Vinny laughed. "Hey, they were just jealous I looked so hot.." That made me laugh even harder. "But hey, on a serious note, you should go. Just ignore any negative attention, and have fun!" I smiled, and nodded. "I'll go!" Thomas and Vinny cheered, making me laugh. Tonight should be fun...
