"Good morning, Andre. Please have a seat." Wallace pointed to the open chair.

The principal gestured for him to push back his hood and pointed to his ears when he sat.

Andre slipped the hood back and popped his earbuds out. He glanced over at Garlin and saw the man's angry expression fade to shock.

"Damn," the coach said.

Wallace shot him a glance, then turned his eyes to Andre. "It's come to our attention that there was a fight behind the school after last bell." Andre nodded. The principal continued. "It seems obvious from your bruising that you were involved."

Garlin snorted and got a stern look from Wallace.

Andre nodded once more.

"We've heard from the others, and the police who I understand spoke with you last night?" Another nod. "Can you tell us what happened?"

Andre looked between the two men, then kept his eyes on the desk surface. He described how he was dragged out to the portable, how angry they were about their girlfriends dumping them, how they blamed him, and how Rick

    "Yeah, that sounds fine." Ben said and flagged down the Assistant Manager to let him know. He looked relieved and thanked them both.Loaded nachos were ordered for the tables and beer to start. Cheers went up from Leo's group. They were still excited to be hanging out with the celebrities and conversation was very animated. The rappers were enjoying the attention. The buzz of conversation was peppered with laughter and some poor attempts to rap from the surfers followed by more laughter.It took almost three hours to get all the way to dessert and once lunch was over there was a definite reluctance to see it end. Eventually, after a bunch of hugs, the young surfers went back to the bay and the rest made their way back to the resort."Ben, we only have one more day in this paradise!" Trish pouted."It's been fun but I'm ready to go home," he replied."It's getting cold there!" she whined and Ben grinned. Then something occurred to him. Rain would be coming to live with them and he'd co

    The next morning saw their entire gang, minus Rochelle and Thomas, walking down the beach towards the surfing bay Ben told them about the night before at dinner. They had their beach bags loaded with lotion and towels and Ben assured them of the quality of the nearby restaurants so everyone was eager to go. Style got the name of the nearby resorts and found a place to arrange for surfboard rentals. He also took a lot of ribbing from his friends and was given a plush monkey from the gift shop to help him over his fears. That plush could be seen poking its head out of his beach bag this morning so he was taking the teasing well.As they walked around a point the wide curving beach came into view and its pale sand gleamed in the morning sun. The waves this morning were 4 to 5 feet in height and Ben could see people already out on their boards enjoying them.When they got closer Ben saw Leo and Dana walking their boards down to the water's edge. Dana dropped her board with a squeal and ra

    Beep."-get a call from her momentarily.""Yeah, she's trying to get through now. Thanks, Jerry! I'll talk to you later!" Ben said and switched to the next call before it went to voicemail."Hello?""Ben! Oh Ben! You are- you're so... oh my god! Ben-" Gabriella's voice was coming through the line somewhat garbled."Gabriella! Are you alright? I'm having trouble hearing you?" Ben said pressing his finger to his opposite ear."I'm sorry Ben. I'm in the middle of the biggest group hug! The workers at Brezza have something they would like to say to you...""GRAZIE!" thundered through the earpiece of Ben's phone.Ben grinned listening to the crowd of happy people cheering over the phone. After a period he heard the background noise dim suddenly and Gabriella was back on the line."Are you still there?""Yes, I'm here. So all is good?""Oh my god Ben I can't tell you what a relief this is to these people. Three days ago they were all looking at the possibility of being out on the street! No

    Ben held the body guard's hands until the young man came back with help. Hotel security and the police. He said the ambulances were on their way.Leo was sitting up in the sand and Dana was leaning against him, holding him tight.The paramedics finally arrived and began by strapping Devan to a backboard to immobilize him. The second team did the same with Michael. Some police officers accompanied them back across the beach.One of the officers who arrived on the scene recognized Ben from the incident earlier on in the week and came to speak with him."Mr. Shepherd? Officer Pérez. I spoke with you three days ago?" Ben nodded in recognition. "You are having an eventful vacation!" the officer said."Yes but not by my efforts. I just stopped by to watch the surfers and got sucked into this mess." Ben was hazy on exactly how it went down so he pointed to Dave who looked like he was desperate to share something. Dave took this as his invitation to gush."So Michael shows up and he's screami

    They'd had a lovely breakfast together and Ben saw them all off. He went back to the room and spent a couple of hours working on his laptop on the balcony. Then he shut it down and looked out at the beautiful day. He decided he'd go for a walk along the beach but he brought his cell phone in case his financial advisor or Gabriella needed to reach him.He walked along the beach for about an hour and passed a few different resorts along the way. There weren't too many people out on the sand at this time but he did see quite a few people surfing. He stopped to watch a group of young surfers riding the waves and smiled at their enthusiasm if not their skill. Two young men in the group rode their surfboards right up to the shore and quickly pulled their boards up onto the dry sand. They turned in his direction and made their way over to him. One was hobbling a little and his friend with dreads kept pace with him so they arrived together. Ben looked at them and there was something familiar

    "Oh Ben I am so happy to hear that! Did... did you lose some memories again?" she asked with worry in her tone.Ben hesitated as he didn't want to worry her but he wouldn't lie to her. "Last night but Rochelle and Trish took care of me. All the more reason to go back to Dr. Granger.""How is your finger?" Tina said to change the subject.Ben sighed gratefully. "Actually, it's feeling much better! I almost have all of the sensation back and it's only slightly sore at the end of the day. I haven't been doing anything to stress the joint at all. Tomorrow Trish and Rain are going zip-lining in the jungle but I'm going to stay here and relax. I'm starting to get restless though. Have you seen any progress on the renovations?""Ben, I see them working hard every day but I do not look at what they are doing. You will just have to see for yourself when you get home," she gently teased him. He made a small frustrated sound."Have you heard from Gabriella and Catherine?" he said to change the t
