"Hey all!", Chase said while taking a seat at the cafeteria. Life was good for Chase. He

went to an amazing boarding school with a beach across the street. Not to mention palm trees

everywhere. He had awesome friends. Michael, his best friend and roommate who always told it

like it is. Logan, his other roommate. Logan's dad is a major Hollywood producer, which

sometimes made Logan the biggest jerk on the planet, but he did have a nice side. He just chooses

not to show it. Besides, having a rich roommate defiantly has its perks. Zoey was his best friend

who was a girl. She is smart, funny, and has a plan for everything. Plus she put up with Chase's

awful girlfriend earlier in the year. Chase's secret was that he had a two year crush on her. He even

sent her a text message saying that he loved her. Luckily she never received it. Which worked out

because that's how he got over her, and now their friendship is stronger than ever. Lola is Zoey's

roommate, she joined Pacific Coast Academy two years ago. She is an aspiring actress, and a good

one too. One day Chase and Logan would not let the girls hang out on their roof (which by the way

is the coolest roof ever!), because they thought guys could not be guys with girls around. So Lola

pretended to be guy to prove that they were just being stupid. Then there is Quinn. She is an

inventor, she calls her inventions "Quinnventions", weird but we love her for it. Yeah Chase had a

good life, he was sitting at the lunch table with Michael, Logan, Lola, and Quinn. Zoey was out

getting more food. She showed up after a while, but with a guy around her shoulder.

"Hey guys! This is Scott, my new boyfriend.", she said unveiling who the mystery guy was.

In that moment Chase got a reality check. His perfect life was gonna start spinning out of control.

"Scott this is Lola, Quinn, Chase, Michael, and Logan. You guys are gonna love Scott, he is

gonna fit right in.", said Zoey taking a seat as Scott was pulling another one up for himself.

"So, uh, Scott your Zoey's, uh, boyfriend. That's just great!", said Chase trying to hide his

jealousy. He was over Zoey, he was sure of it. Well he was up until now. He and Zoey made a

pact to not let any boyfriends or girlfriends ruin their friendship. He was not gonna do that. The

feelings he was having were more older brother, not jealous best guy friend. He kept repeating to

himself that they were completely normal.

"So Scott how long have you been going to Pacific Coast Academy?", Lola's voice zapped

Chase back to reality.

"5 weeks, Zoey was my guide and we got to talking and now we're dating.", said Scott

staring at Zoey.

"That's so sweet", Quinn whispered to Lola, "Look at the way he is staring at her!"

Chase has had enough. He didn't know anything about this Scott guy and he was just expected to

except him just like that. Well that was not going to happen.

"So, Scott do you play any sports?, asked Quinn.

"Yeah he is on the football team with me and Michael.", Logan cut in. Chase was getting

angry now. Everyone likes this guy there must be something wrong with him. He was definitely not

good enough for Zoey and he was gonna prove it.

"So football team, that must really affect your grades.", said Chase content with himself.

"Actually Scott is a straight A student!", Zoey chimed in.

"Really, oh he is just great for you.", Chase said trying to hide the sarcasm in his voice.

"I know he is just perfect and," Zoey trailed off staring into his eyes. No way! I can put up

with her having a boyfriend, but if they kiss in front of me. That's where I draw the line.

"Okay, Zo isn't it time for class.", Chase said desperate to stop the googly eyed staring.

"Oh right. I was having so much fun I forgot. Well we better get going. I'll see you later

Scott.", Zoey said then gave him a quick kiss. Lola and Quinn giggled. Michael and Logan looked

uncomfortable. Chase felt like he was gonna puke. Zoey was staring into his eyes again.

"Okay really we gotta go now.", said Chase pointing at the science building where he and

Zoey had a class together.

"Right, now I'm really going. Bye guys.", said Zoey now getting dragged away by Chase.

Who was muttering under his breath.

"Bye!", everyone said at once and then they went back to talking to Scott. In his mind,

Chase had just been replaced.

"You and Scott. Scott and you. Scott is good. I like Scott.", Chase lied.

"Chase is everything okay?", Zoey asked.

"Of course everything is okay. Life is great. Your going out with Scott. That is great.

Scott is great. Why would you think something is wrong?", Chase said all of this awfully fast.

"I don't know, maybe cause you are saying Scott in almost every sentence.", said Zoey

nervously, "Do you have a problem with him?"

"With Scott? No way! Scott seems like a great guy. Scott is athletic. Scott is smart. What

is there not to like about Scott?", babbled Chase.

"Your doing it again!"

"Doing what?"

"Saying Scott!"

"Did I just say Scott? I don't think so. Okay I just blew it but I think you get my point.",

Chase rambled out extremely flustered.

"Do you have a problem with Scott? Please Chase be honest, I really trust your opinion.",

Zoey said. Chase got the feeling she was happy until she introduced Scott to him. She did deserve a

little honesty.

"It is not that I don't like Scott. I mean he seems like a great guy. It's just I kinda feel like

he is becoming a part of the group to fast.", at this point Zoey gave him a confused look.

"What I mean is could you let me get to know him before you shove him at me?", now Zoey

smiled.

"I did kinda shock everyone. Look I'll give you a chance to hang with him before I invite

him over for lunch again. He is not taking you place.", Zoey quickly added that last part. Now

Chase looked confused.

"Didn't you feel he was kind of taking your territory?"

"Yeah I did. So you read right through me. And your right I should give him a chance."

"Good why don't you two head to the movies and see that action, fighting, guy movie that I

refuse to see with him.", Zoey said thinking this was a good way to get out of seeing the movie.

"Okay, I'll go and hang with him. And I'm sorry about the way I acted.

"Don't worry your forgiven.", Zoey said glad her problem solving skills worked.

A few days after her talk with Chase, Zoey was sitting in her dorm room talking about who

else but Scott.

"And doesn't he just have the dreamiest eyes?", Zoey said while twirling her hair.

"Lola, Quinn did you hear my question?"

Lola looked up from filing her nails, and Quinn looked up from he science book. Lola was the first

to speak up.

"Sorry Zo, it's just hard to listen when you told us like a million times. What was the

question?"

Zoey looked annoyed, wondering why it was wrong with talking about how cute Scott was.

"I said doesn't he have the dreamiest eyes. And what is wrong about talking about my

boyfriend?"

Quinn took this question.

"We are glad you have a boyfriend and we are glad that your happy. It's just you can only

hear Oh and when his hair falls in front of the dreamiest eyes ever, isn't that the most adorable

thing."

"Okay that was scary good.", Lola said while laughing. But this comment got Zoey going.

"First thing, I do not sound like that. Second it is the most adorable thing when his hair does

that. I could watch him do that forever."

At the mention of the word forever Lola and Quinn cringed. Having Zoey act like this now was bad

enough, but forever was just insanity. Zoey realized her words and dove in deeper.

"Forever, Scott and Zoey forever, we are gonna be together forever!", Zoey said while

jumping on the bed in excitement. Lola and Quinn refrained from saying the chances of that

happening was unlikely and prepared themselves for more rambling about Scott. Zoey was in the

middle of planning going to the school dance with him when her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

Hey Zo, it's me. You know who me is right?"

"Of course I know who me is Scott.", Zoey said while she laid back on the bed in a day

dreaming state.

"Yeah well as much as I would like to say that I was calling to check in I wasn't. Can you

call Chase and tell him I can't make the movie today."

Zoey completely forgot that Chase was seeing a movie with him today.

"Um, yeah I can. But why are you cancelling?"

"My roommate is sick, and I don't wanna leave him here alone."

"Oh you are the best roommate ever.", said Zoey in a adoring tone.

"I wouldn't say that but thanks. So I better be going.

"Okay bye.", while she said this she put her finger to her lips and to tell Lola and Quinn to

stay quiet.

"Zo, you didn't hang up."

"Neither did you. Okay we will hang up, now."

"You hang up first."

"No you hang up first."

Lola rolled her eyes, then got up and hung up for Zoey.

"Lola why did you do that?"

"Because you are starting to act like a giddy schoolgirl.

"I am a giddy school girl. Now I have to call him back so he doesn't think I hung up on

him."

Lola moaned has she collapsed onto her beanbag. Quinn just looked up from her book and gave

Zoey the evil eye. Zoey was already on the phone with Scott.

"No you hang up."

In Scott's room he was growing impatient.

"Fine I will hang up."

Zoey looked over at Lola and Quinn, who were glad the madness was over.

"I can't believe he hung up."

At this Lola and Quinn just rolled their eyes. Back in Scott's room he was putting on his

jacket when his roommate came in.

"Scott, did she buy it?"

"Oh yeah it was like taking candy from a baby."

"You my friend are the king."

"Yeah", Scott said pompously while leaving the room.
