A/N: Before we get this story started, I'd just like to say sorry the summary stinks a little. I wasn't sure how to say it. I promise the story will be better than the summary. And sorry if some of the chapters are a little short, I am doing my best. Also, this is my first fanfiction...ever. So go easy on me. The beginning is what happened during the break up, near the end, just so you get a reminder of it.

Zoey walked over to the fountain, after being told that's where Chase had gone to. When she had arrived at the fountain, Zoey saw Chase sitting on the edge, and walked over to him. Zoey just looked at him.

"Uh, you want to sit down?" Chase asked her.

"Okay," Zoey replied to him, tossing her hair back as she sat.

Chase hesitated a little. "Look, the reason– the reason I took your tekmate...was that...I wrote a text message to Michael...and I sent it to you by mistake. And I had to get your tekmate away from you so I could erase the message before you read it." Chase let out a small sigh. "I tried to put it back, but you ran off, so I couldn't."

Zoey nodded slightly. "Okay."

"So...Do you believe me?"

"Should I not?"

"No, you– you should."

"Then I do."

"Okay."

"So...?"

"Don't ask."

"I'm asking."

"Zoey, seriously."

"What was the message you sent to me by mistake?" But Chase just looked at her. "Tell me."

"I'd really rather not tell ya."

"Why, was it mean?"

"Huh?"

"Did you say something mean about me?"

"No! God, no. It was nothing like that. I'd never say anything mean about you."

"Then what could you have written that was so important to hide from me? What was the message?"

"You really wanna know?"

"Yeah."

"You're sure."

"I really wanna know."

"Okay. The message was..."

When suddenly, a voice cried out, "You guys!" Their friends had shown up.

"Guys," Logan starts to tell them, "the show's starting in, like, 30 seconds!"

Michael then states, "And we're not lettin' you miss it."

"Can we just have a–" Zoey asks them, but got cut off short when they pulled both Chase and her back to the dorm lounge.

Just as they entered the room, they show had begun. Everyone clapped and cheered as the gang's names came up on the screen. In the corner of the room, where Chase was standing, he kept looking over to Zoey, thinking. Michael's voice entered his head, Just tell Zoey you love her. Finally he took out his tekmate, occasionally looking back up at Zoey, and wrote "The message was... I LOVE YOU." He hesisitated before finally pushing send. After sending it, with a slight look of regret on his face, he noticed something was missing. The pouch on Zoey's hip didn't have her tekmate in it.

As everyone continued to watch the show, Zoey's tekmate, sitting on the rim of the fountain, had been washed away into the water, where it seemed to have short circuited. With everyone hooked onto the show, the device just sat there for the rest of the evening.

The Next Morning

Jonathan was out early for his morning jog. On his round trip back to the Boy's Dorm, he stopped at the fountain to rest. He laid down on the edge as he started thinking how lucky Zoey, Nicole, Lola, Chase, Michael, and Logan were for getting on TV the previous day. Jonathan closed his eyes to rest and fell asleep for about 5 minutes. When he awoke, he checked his watch and got up to head back in. But as he did, something pink caught his eye. He turned to look at it and saw Zoey's tekmate at the bottom of the fountain water. Jonathan reached in to grab it, and shook it a little to dry when he surfaced it. I wonder who this belongs to. he thought. He pocketed it and finished his jog up to his room.

As he sat down on his bed, he took out the tekmate and flipped it on, to see if he could find out who it belonged to. When it loaded, he saw the name 'Zoey' on it's screen.

A/N: So, this is the end of the first chapter. I would have written more, but I wanted it end with a slight cliff hanger. It does seem like one doesn't it? I tried my best... I'm hoping for some reviews before I put up chapter 2. I'd like to see if anyone thinks I'm doing okay.
