This is my first Zoey 101 fanfic.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Zoey 101 characters.
Every student was in the hall. The decorating group had been at work for the past few weeks, getting the gym ready. Streamers hung from the ceiling and balloons were attached the corners of the tables around the edge of the gym, holding refreshments. Chase Matthews and Zoey Brooks were standing near the door, both holding drinks and talking. Chase could barely keep his eyes off Zoey, but she didn't seem to notice. Logan Reese and Dana Cruz had finally got dancing, and were doing the usually thing: arguing. But it was obvious to everyone else they were enjoying dancing together. Micheal Barret, Quinn Pensky, Lola Martinez and Dustin Brooks were standing by the drinks, laughing over two teachers laughing.
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walking on broken glass
Like my world's spinnin' in slow motion
And you're moving too fast
"We gotta get them to dance," Lola murmured to Dustin, Quinn and Micheal. Micheal snorted and rolled his eyes.
"Hey, you don't need to be telling me. Say that to them," he said. Dustin shook his blonde hair out of his eyes. He glanced at the three older kids and then strode towards his sister. He said something in her ear and Zoey went a slight red. "I gotta give it to him: he's got guts. If I said something to them, Chase would slap me one."
Zoey pushed her honey coloured hair out of her eyes and cleared her throat. Dustin gave her an expectant look and Chase just watched the blonde go redder as his eyes rested on her. Dustin leaned over and whispered something in his ear and realization flickered in his eyes and he muttered,
"Oh, right."
Were you right?
Was I wrong?
Were you weak?
Was I strong?
Yeah!!
Both of us broken… caught in a moment
We live 'til we loved
Til we hurt
And we jumped, yeah!
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react...
The chemicals react
"Uh, Zoey," Chase began, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Do you, um, wanna dance?" Zoey bit her lower and lip and smiled at him, nodding. Dustin grinned as Chase took Zoey's arm and pulled her onto the dance floor. Other people nudged their friends and all looked at the couple who were slowly putting their arms around each other.
Zoey had never been so awkward around Chase before. They were just friends, and that was the way they had always acted. But what Dustin had whispered into her ear, 'You guys obviously like each other', well, maybe….maybe she did like Chase more than a friend. And he did look pretty cute in his jeans and button down, grey tee-shirt.
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pulling me in deeper
Making it harder to.. breathe
Chase's arms went around her waist as she slowly slid her arms around his neck. She could feel his breath tickling her neck as he pulled her closer to him. Zoey's stomach was filled with butterflies as she leaned into his chest and rested her head on his shoulder.
Chase still couldn't believe that he was finally dancing with Zoey. And they weren't dancing like they were friends, either. They used to dance around each other heaps, but never contact dance like this. It was always stupid dancing, or Logan would crump/break-dance and Chase and Micheal would try to copy. It was always joking, and just friends.
This was definitely a just friends dance.
We can not deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny!
"Hey, Zoey?" Chase murmured in her ear. Shivers flew down Zoey's spine and she tried not to shiver. "What did Dustin say to you? You went big-time red." Her cheeks went hot, and Chase detected that she was blushing again. "C'mon, you can tell me."
"He…he said…nothing, he was just being an annoying little brother," Zoey muttered. Chase nudged her and grinned.
"I'm not that dense," he told her. Zoey sighed.
"He said…that it was obvious that…we liked each other," she finally stammered. Chase smiled and swirled her around, letting his head dip toward her berry smelling hair. Zoey slowly un-tensed as she realized he wasn't going to push it.
Were you right?

Were you weak?
Was I strong?
Yeah!!

Dana tapped Logan on the shoulder and pointed over to where their two friends were dancing. Logan grinned over his shoulder as Chase and Zoey turned around slowly, bodies close. Logan then turned back to Dana, who was still looking at Chase and Zoey.
"So they finally got together," she murmured under her breath. When she turned her attention back to Logan, his face was much closer to hers. Dana's breathing skipped a notch as his breath heated her cheeks. A moment later, his lips were on hers and she practically fainted in his arms.
Kaleidoscope of colours
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)
Oblivious to the attention they were getting from the rest of the school, Zoey tipped her head back so that she was looking straight up at Chase. He smiled down at her.
"Is it true?" She asked softly.
"What?" He asked in confusion.
"That's we like each other," Zoey replied as a strand of hair fell over her left eye. Chase thought for a moment.
"Do you like me?" He asked gently. Zoey blushed and nodded slowly. Chase leaned over and brushed the strand of hair back from her eye and behind her ear. "Then, yes, it's true," he murmured as he reached in to kiss her.
Were you right?

"They're kissing, they're kissing, they're kissing!" Lola whispered in a loud voice. Micheal raised an eyebrow in alarm and took a few steps away from her. Dustin put his finger in his mouth and pretended to throw-up. "Oh, grow up!" Lola hissed at Dustin. Dustin glowered at her.
On the dance floor, Chase and Zoey were still kissing.
So was Logan and Dana.
We lived
We loved
We hurt
We jumped
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love..
But the planets all aligned, when you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watched the chemicals react (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And just like that
The chemicals react (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The chemicals react
The chemicals react
The chemicals react…
By the end of the song, two happy couples walked outside to find a more private spot.
