(Authors Note)
This takes place after 'Goodbye Zoey' and the online date when they decide that they can't commit to each other fully just yet. I will be adding a new characters, some might not end up playing a big role but one will for sure. I haven't decided whether James and Vince will be coming back but if they do most likely not as love interests. I think I should be given some credit because I am watching some episodes so I can write this more accurately. Also the years are going to be changed around so they're actually freshman this year and have 3 & ½ years left. Also Chase's parents are a lot richer because... lets just say they won the lottery.
(Writing Style)
I will be switching points of view every now and then to show different people's thoughts. But actions will be written from a narrative point of view. Italics are thoughts. Bold will be dialogue.
Zoey- Is having a difficult month because she misses Chase and he can barely web chat, because he got a job in England. She barely does anything besides going to classes and eating.
Chase- Chase is barely keeping sane let alone up with classes in England because he is trying to get enough money to buy a plane ticket back. His parents want to teach him the value of money.
Michael- Is having huge fights with Logan because Chase is not there to settle the arguments.
Logan- No longer has anyone to talk to with Chase gone everyone, has to deal with their own problems. Logan can't tell anyone what his are.
Lola- Needs to keep up with drama, acting lessons, classes and staying in shape. On top of that she is trying to help her best friend survive.
Quinn- Knows that everyone is having issues and she is dying to help but doesn't know how.
Mystery Boy- Knows more than people realize.
Chapter 1: A Mystery Guy
Z-POV
Sitting at the lunch table with Lola, Quinn, and Logan. They're just talking about the big English assignment they all procrastinated on. English, Chases favorite subject, I bet Chase would've ranted on at them for procrastinating. Then he would've felt bad and made it up to them by inviting everyone to Sushi Rox. Oh how I miss him. Still not really listening to the conversation Zoey's eyes began to wander around the court yard.
There were the usual people sitting, talking, and even some making out. Zoey just sighed and kept looking around the courtyard. She was about to turn back around and rejoin the conversation when she realized someone was staring at her. Who is that? After the mysterious person caught her attention she looked back trying to divert from making direct eye contact. But once she did make eye contact she couldn't stop looking at him. He was sitting down, so you couldn't tell how tall he was exactly. The mystery guy had bright red hair, deep green eyes, fairly pale skin, muscular arms and chest.
Quinn nodding her head towards the guy asked Zoey whose that guy you're staring at and why is he staring back at us?
Zoey: Huh? What? Finally breaking eye contact and snapping out of a trance.
Lola: Quinn was asking you who that guy was. Speaking of which it looks like he's headed this way! So Zoey who is he?
Sure enough the mystery guy was slowly walking towards them. He was pretty tall too, about 6'5". As he got closer it became clearer that he was at least their age if not a little older but he definitely was not senior. While walking across the courtyard the strange teenager began to get people's attention, the way he walked he definitely was confident but not overly cocky. Oh my God is he coming over here? Yes, yes he is.
Zoey answered still confused as to what was exactly happening: I have no idea, Lola, no idea.
Lola: Well looks like we're going to find out? I think he's kinda cute don't you agree?
Zoey she murmurred a response clearly not intending anyone to hear: His eyes are like a forest and you can just get lost in them for days.
Zoey then turned to see Lola facing her with a raised eyebrow and a questioning look on her face. Zoey could feel the heat racing to her face.
Zoey: I just said that out loud didn't I?
Lola just nodded. Zoey just said : Oh Crap.
After Zoey said that, the last of the distance between them and the mystery guy had disappeared he was now right in front of them. Logan just rolled his eyes as if this guy was nothing compared to him. Quinn put down her fork and sat up straight to appear taller. Lola flipped her hair back and then started blushing realizing what she did just made her seem more nervous. Zoey just looked up a a guy she had never scene before in her life, making eye contact with him. There was a silence as if the entire world, realizing this moment was beyond important, refused to interrupt it.
The Guy said in a slight English accent : You must be Zoey Brooks. I've heard a lot about you.
He smiled at her and then switched his gaze to Lola. How does he know my name? Who the heck is he? What does he know about me? Can I trust him? Zoey stood up realizing it was impolite to stay seated. She felt short compared to him but she looked him in those deep green eyes determined to figure out who he was.
Zoey said in the nicest voice should muster up: I'm sorry but I don't know who you are. What's your name?
Sorry kinda short I know but I wanna leave the interesting stuff for the second chapter. Tell me what you think, whether good or bad. Thank you if you actually read this all the way. I have many ideas for more chapters but please review to encourage me to write more, it will definitely speed up the process.
