Gabby felt wonderful. She was wearing one of the new bikinis that Brooke had iven her, with an old skirt over the top. She was wearing beaded flip flops and a pair of Brooke's sunglasses. She went down towards the lake. It was a perfect day for sun bathing and then a cool dip in the lake. She layed out her towel and took off her shoes and skirt, settling down to doze in the sunshine. Gabby had resolved the issues between herself and Lucretia, and her relationship with Ryan was stronger than ever. Things were looking up for Gabby.

Shaw emerged from the depths of the lake, the water glistening in the sunlight as it ran down his chest. He shook the water free from one hand, then used it to wipe the droplets from his face. Wading through the water, he made his way to the lake's shore, noticing a girl laid out basking in the sunlight. She had obviously not known that he was out in the lake, even though his towel was hanging over a bush near by. Dripping wet, he walked past her to get his towel. "Hello. Enjoying the sun?"

The voice startled Gabby a bit. She propped herself up on her elbows and rested her sunglasses on her head. "Hi, definately" Gabby said as she flashed the stranger an easy smile. "Are you new here, I haven't met you before?" Gabby asked, pulling a lock of her hair out the way.

Shaw returned the smile with some ease as he dried himself off. "I've been around. Loitering in the shadows keeping to myself. I'm Shaw Kersey. The new Ravenclaw Prefect." He said matter of factly. "You're the girl dating the Sports writer." Shaw stated, throwing the towel onto the grass, before plonking himself down on it. "He seems to know his stuff."

Gabby sat up properly, amused by Shaw's attitude. "You seem to know yours as well. How did you know I was dating Ryan?" Gabby asked. "I'm Gabby by the way," she added.

Shaw laughed deeply. "I've seen the two of you together around the school, and gathered from Gaby's gossip column that you were Gabby and not one of the others." He squinted as he looked at Gabby, the sunlight blinding his vision slightly. "Don't worry about what she says. She's been doing it for years. I used to see her in our common room, scribbling away. She always had a nose for trouble."

Gabby laughed. "I don't worry although most of it's true. She gestured towards her shoulders where both her scars were visible. "I've given up trying to hide them." Gabby said.

Shaw peered at the scarring. "What happened?" He asked. He presumed that was what he should have asked seeing as she had pointed them out. He hadn't noticed them until then, but thought it would be rude to have ignored it.

Gabby shrugged, "One's from over seven years ago, the other's about a week old. I'm a walking disaster zone," Gabby said with a grin, she wasn't really joking though and until recently she had found trouble everywhere.
((sorry my interent crashed))

"I'll make a note to stay clear of you from now on then."Chuckled Shaw as he leant back on his elbows and looked up at the cloudless sky. "So what does Ryan think about you lying by the lake clad in next to nothing? I'm surprised you aren't with each other. Isn't that what lovers do? Spend all their waking hours whispering sweet nothings into each others ears?"

Gabby laughed. "I spent most of yesterday with Ryan. I'm not sure where he is today. But we trust each other." Gabby looked over at Shaw, he seemed easy going and likeable. "Why, should he be worried?" She asked, arching one eye brow. Ryan knew that Gabby was a tease and playful, but she hadn't had a chance to excercise her fun side recently with all the trips to the hospital wing.

Shaw glanced over to Gabby and let his jaw drop before roaring with laughter. "I'm sorry. If you think I was coming onto you.." He began laughing again, before regaining composure "I actually was just making conversation, digging a little." Shaw started laughing again, before realising he had probably inadvertently insulted her. "My apologies. I am sure you both trust each other regardless of what Gabby hints to in her articles. How can Ryan work with her, when she's willing to write about him?"
((Sorry I really have to get back to work. i will check later tho))

((That's fine, i have work to do anyway))
Gabby laughed. "You still have a lot to learn Shaw Kersey." Gabby said, continuing to laugh, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I work with her as well actually. I'm the current agony aunt. But I know what you mean. Unfortunately most of what she writes is pretty much true." Gabby lay down, slipping her sun glasses on again, but turning her head to the side so she could still see Shaw. "Regarding what Ryan would think of me being here, he'd probably pick me up and chuck me into the lake," She said with a small smile.
Gabby laughed to herself, Shaw had thought that she had though he was coming onto her. Gabby had been joking as was her personality. He had seemed a bit flustered and Gabby enjoyed provoking that sort of reaction. ~I'm turning into Brooke~ Gabby thought, amused.

"You're the agony aunt?" Shaw asked her as he plucked a blade of grass from the ground. "Rather you then me. Don't you worry what Gaby writes about Ryan is true too? Who does the agony aunt turn to when troubled?" He looked at her as he rolled the blade between his fingers. "You said she wrote mainly the truth, maybe there is truth behind Ryan." He didn't mean to stir. He knew that was what it was coming across as, but he had a point to make. Shrugging, he turned back to the blade of grass. "But you know him better then most I presume."

Gabby nodded, "When I first got together with Ryna he was cheating on me. I left him, he left the other girl, he found me I took him back. Some say I'm stupid but hey, that's love" Gabby said witha smile, before sobering up slightly. "He's been involved with Vannah too but I do my best to ignore that part." Gabby finished. "As to who do I get advice from? It might sound odd, I write myself a letter and answer it as if it was a stranger who had written to me. It works" Gabby shrugged.
