Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Zoey 101 but if I did that would be really fantastic

This is my first Zoey 101 fanfic and in it Zoey is 14

I cannot think of a good title for this story so I am just going to call it 'The day my life changed'. That not a big part of my story, it is actually quite small, but I can't think of a name.

Chapter 1: Here we are again

There was a cool summer breeze sweeping across the grounds at PCA. It was the start of another school year that is sure to have a lot of surprises and tantalizing twists.

The story starts with the first few students starting to arrive back at school after the summer holiday.

Zoey stepped out of her mums car and looked over her real home. She had loved it here from the very first moment she had set her eyes on the place. With the help of her mum and brother she managed to get her suitcases out of the boot of her mums new car and onto the roadside. She waved goodbye to her mum as she started to head to her dorm ; seeing if she recognised anyone on the way.

"It's good to be back, isn't it," said Dustin, Zoey's younger brother, as he watched two seagulls fight on the floor for what looked like a piece of chicken.

"Yere it sure is," Zoey replied. They walked in silence the rest of the way until they got to the piont were they had to go different ways to get to their dorms.

"See you later Zo."

"Bye Dustin." Zoey waved goodbye to her little brother as she started to head off to room 101.

Zoey had just finished unpacking her stuff away in her room, she stretched out her arms as they hurt and were a bit saw, when one of her two best friends Nicole walked into the room. They both squealed before they jumped into a bone crushing hug.

"Hi Zoey, it is so great to see you, is it great to see me as well, yere of course it is great to see me ……" Zoey laughed and interrupted Nicole before she could start speaking again.

"Hi Nicole," Nicole had started to open up all her suitcases (there had to be at least ten). "I'll go and see what everyone else is doing while you unpack, okay?" Nicole wasn't paying attention to what Zoey was saying because she could see a really cute guy out the window in the swimming pool. Zoey knew she was invisible to Nicole now so she just left her to stare at the cute guy.

As Zoey left her room she saw Logan in the girls lounge and went over to talk to the obnoxious brat.

"Hi Logan," Zoey didn't get an answer though as a pretty girl wearing a mini skirt walked by and Logan was just staring at her legs. Zoey huffed at Logan's annoying behaviour but she had gotten used to it by now. She hit him on the arm to get his attention. Logan looked up.

"Give me a sec Zoey I am busy," Logan said as he went back to staring at the girls legs. Zoey responded by hitting Logan harder this time. God Logan is a moron she thought.

"Owww, what do you want Brooks?"

"You are a pervert Logan," Logan was still looking at the girl that walked passed him earlier ; she had gone to sit down with her equally attractive friends.

"I'm not," Logan said defensively. "I just like the female form." Logan looked at Zoey properly for the first time and a smile came to his face. "You have a good body, if you show it off more you might get some of my much desired attention." Zoey had to hold herself back from slapping Logan.

"Do you even know who she is?" Zoey asked referring to the girl that Logan kept looking at.

"Yere………… someone I am going to kiss." That was the last thing he said before he went off to talk to that girl but not before he had checked his hair in his hand mirror that he took wherever he went. Zoey had to smile at Logan's antics, he is exactly the same as he was when she last saw him.

Quinn had already arrived at PCA and was testing out one of her inventions that her dad had helped her build over the summer.

Dustin saw Quinn and ran over to her. Quinn wasn't one of his closest friends but it was good to see a familiar face.

"Hi Quinn."

"Hi Dustin," she said, smiling at the younger boy. "Do you like my pet cog?" Dustin only just noticed the animal that was sitting down next to Quinn. He jumped back.

"I'm allergic to all animals you know. Keep that thing away from me." Dustin only just remembered the name that Quinn had called her pet. "What's a cog?" Quinn rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"It's a part cat, part dog animal." Quinn replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"How can it be part cat and part dog?……….. And how come I am not having an allergic reaction to being near it?" This was all getting a bit to weird for Dustin and he was starting to get a bad headache from it. He knew he shouldn't have come over to talk to her and then he would have avoided this really strange and weird conversation but Dustin found Quinn and her ideas quite fascinating and intriguing.

"Well it was a bit tricky to make the cog not give allergic reactions but when I was breeding the animals together I managed to get rid of that quality in the animal I produced. I actually do not know the exact thing I did but …..well it worked didn't it. I think it had something to do with the genetics of the cat and the dog. I think I managed to configure them by combining them with molecules from a human and ammonium nitrate to get rid of the allergic reaction gene." Dustin was just nodding his head every few seconds because he had stopped understanding what Quinn was talking about after a few words.

"Oh its so simple." Dustin said trying to make it seem like he had been listening.

"Yere, if only everything was that easy……" Quinn stopped when she realised that Dustin was laughing at her. "Why are you laughing at me ; I didn't say anything that was funny."

"I know I wasn't really laughing at you. Its just why have you put that ugly hat on the cogs head. It makes it look so silly and ruins the effect that the animal has?" Dustin asked, he started to back away thinking that Quinn really had gone crazy now. She had done something really amazing and astounding then had put a stupid hat on it. Quinn laughed; she liked how naive Dustin was about some things.

"It's not just any hat," Quinn replied with a glint in her eye "Whoever or whatever you put that had on will understand English as long as it is an animal." Dustin could tell how proud Quinn was about this and he wasn't surprised. I mean he knew Quinn was clever but not this clever.

"Wow Quinn that is amazing," Dustin said with awe in his voice.

"Thanks." Quinn felt her cheeks start to go a bit red like she was about to blush. Why the hell am I blushing, she thought and then shrugged must be because I don't take compliments well, she concluded.

Dustin looked around and saw one of his friends from his year. "See you later Quinn."

"Bye," Quinn waved after him but he had already gone.

Zoey headed out of her dorm and across the grounds to see if she could see where Chase was.

She couldn't see him so she walked over to where the car park was. She didn't see him there either and was about to give up before she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

"Zoey." Zoey turned round and saw the familiar big bushy brown hair of her other best friend Chase. Before she knew what she was doing she threw herself into a big hug with Chase. She felt a slight twinge of pain but she didn't care as she had missed him so much. After a while Chase settled down into the hug and hugged Zoey back.

"I missed you so much Chase."

"I missed you a lot too Zoey, I just wasn't expecting…… such a warm greeting." Chase smiled down at Zoey, God she is even more beautiful that last time I saw her. This is sure to be a hard year.

Zoey laughed as she realised what she did. "I guess it was a bit over the top wasn't it but I was just so happy to see you." Because I wasn't sure whether I would ever see you again she thought with a twinge of sadness. After when someone had mugged her when she was shopping she had been more weary of people. She would never tell what happened though.

Bum bum buuuummmmmmmm.

Please read and review as it would be much appreciated and I am not writing another chapter until I get at least 7 reviews. If you like my story or if you have got some ideas about what can happen later or how I can improve my story please review.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

For those who haven't worked it out the title of the story refers to the day that Zoey got mugged. There will be a flashback to that day later so you can find out what happened but until then you have to wait.
