I do not own the suite life of Zack and Cody nor do I own Come As You Are by Nirvana. The characters referred to herein are fictional and any resemblance to a person,
living or dead is purely coincidental.
Chapter 1. Come As You Are
"Move jerk wad!"
"Get out of the way Fag."
"Hey, cheer up emo kid."
These and more, well lets just say inappropriate, words were said to me as I crossed the dangerous threshold of the hallway to the relative safety of my next class. I sighed
to myself, just another typical day in the life of me, Cody Martin.
"Hey Zack!" I said to my twin mustering as much cheerfulness as I could manage with the current condition our relationship was in.
"Sup…Jack ass." Was the reply I got. I wasn't shocked either. How sad was that? Oh well, I guess it could be expected from Zack. You see, we were now 16 years old,
and were both still in high school, even though Zack was still technically a grade behind me. This was the only class we had together…Tech. Woodshop basically, even with
the pretty names they draped it in, and due to my, lets say clumsiness, I wasn't exactly excelling but I needed an extra credit to graduate with ultra honors. I looked over at
Zack, he was still shorter than me and still kind of chunky, I think that was why he picked on me a lot, he was jealous. Of what though I couldn't tell you, because I was a
lanky thin uncoordinated mess dressed all in black and adorned with a nice pair of skate shoes and tight jeans. Now I looked at the clock, waiting for this, my last period, to
end.
--RRRIIIINNNGGG—
"Finally!" I shouted. Jumping up and walking towards the exit. Imagine my embarrassment when I found out that was just the tardy bell. Yep just another day in the life of Cody Martin.
--2:50 P.M.--
I climbed on to the bus and looked around, no empty seats, guess lucky me gets to sit in
Seat one, right behind the smelly bus driver again, Yay! I pulled up my back pack and
dug around, finally finding my mp3 player. It started to play the last song I had listened
to, Come As You Are, by Nirvana, which was fine by me. I listen to the first verse. Then,
up comes my stop, as I get off the bus I can't help but look behind me at Zack, all the
way in the back laughing with his friends, our friends, and do you know what he does?
He gives me the bird. Hate ya too! I think, eying him angrily.
--Tipton Hotel—
As I set my back pack on the kitchen chair I look at the empty room, Mom's singing for
the rest of the day and Zack gets off at a different stop so he isn't seen walking with me.
I start on Zack and My homework as I hear him come in. "Hey." I say, trying to start up
Conversation.
"Go F yourself." Is all I get in reply.
"Same to you bro.", I reply, muttering under my breath a few choice vulgarities.
He sits down on the couch, munching away at something, typical I think. As I'm
Finishing our work I venture out on a limb and ask another question. "Zack, What
Happened?" As he proceeds to yell at me in every manner of the word I proceed to erase
Every one of his right answers and replace it with a wrong one. Oh well, I think and head
to our room laughing to myself on the way. Bad grades, poor Zack, Got beat up? Be more
careful Cody! As I think of what Mom will say. Well, I don't care what they say, revenge
is pretty good right now.
