Hi guys, this is a channy fic that takes place after season 1 episode 20, Cookie Monsters. This fic is dedicated to DMLVT6963, as this was the fic you wanted me to write about, so I hope you enjoy this short one-shot :)

Breathing heavily, I glared at Chad and his ridiculously cute pink shirt. Zora had finally decided that I was capable enough to not kill Chad and left me. Dakota, however, wanted to hold onto her crush for as long as possible.

"Why can't you just admit you were choking?" I suddenly asked.

"Because I was acting" he shot back, trying to get free of the little evil girl's iron grip.

"Oh please, as if you would act just to let me get my blossom scout badge" I retorted.

"Yes, I did, because I wanted to help you out" he folded his arms.

"Oh" I smirked. "So you do care"

"No! I never said that" he blushed.

"I think you do, it's either you care for somebody other than yourself, or you were choking; in which case, you owe me a thank you, so which is it?" I asked, smiling. I had the upper hand over Chad, either way, I won.

Chad knowing this sighed and turned to Dakota. "Thanks Dakota, but we're not going to hurt each other anymore, you can let go now" he smiled, sweetly, hoping to not get fired.

"Fine, but you owe me" she sighed, leaving the commissary backwards, staring us down with those scary eyes.

Frowning I turned my attention to Chad. "So which is it?" I asked again.

He looked at the floor shyly before looking back up into my eyes. "What if, I told you I did care?" he walked towards me slowly.

"Well, I dunno, do you?" I asked quietly, hoping the answer was yes.

He proceeded to step closer still. "Maybe" he smiled.

"That's not an answer"

"Yes it is" he retorted.

"No, it's not, yes or no is an answer, maybe isn't" I grew impatient, hoping he would just tell me already.

"Well then no" he stood there, not looking remorseful for being horribly blunt.

My face fell a little as I tried avoiding looking him in his eyes.

I felt my heart crushing a little.

"So was the, Eric, Prom, fake date, you wanting to hang out sometime, was that a lie?" I asked crestfallen, I still couldn't look up as I twiddled my thumbs nervously.

Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped themselves around me and I was pulled into a hug.

"See, I was acting, I'm an awesome actor, and you thought I didn't care" Chad chuckled.

I laid my head in his shoulder and hugged him back.

"So you do care?" I asked just to be certain.

"Yep, and that's a privilege, not many people can say Chad Dylan Cooper cares about them."

I smiled and inhaled. I laughed.

"What?" he asked.

"You smell like cookies" I giggled uncontrollably, having to break away from the hug and hold my stomach.

"Randoms" Chad rolled his eyes, but looked at me amused.

"You know Chad, this means you owe me a box of cookies" I grinned.

"Why?" he was confused.

"You said I had to buy a box if I wanted a hug"

Realization dawned on him as he smiled a true genuine Chad smile.

"I'll make you an exception"

"Well in that case, I'll take as many hugs as I want" I smiled, I was happy. No surprise there, I was always optimistic.

"Yeah you can" he agreed, pulling me into another hug. This I could get used to.

Thanks for reading, please review and tell me what you think xx
