ZACKS POV

Envy On The Coast

"Zack, I hate you!"

Those four words hurt me more than anything. My blue-green eyes widened, and my smile faded. I was in the lobby, on the floor, looking up at Maddie. After what she said to me and pushed me to the ground, what was I going to say? I guess she could see the look on my face and decided to answer the question marked all over it.

"Why are we fighting? Because you are acting like an idiot!" Maddie said and then punched me in the nose.

It may have been midnight at the Tipton, but Mr. Mosby was at the front desk witnessing all this and came charging towards us.

"Maddie, what are you doing to Zack?" he asked.

"Giving him a piece of my mind!" she screeched kicking me in the shin.

"That's it. Maddie, you're fired!"

Maddie dropped to her knees the minute he said those words. "Mr. Mosby, you don't understand, I need this job!"

"Well, you should have thought of that before!" he said charging back into his office.

"Thanks a lot, Zack," she muttered at me and walked out of the Tipton.

I went up to my suite after that. Mom was asleep when I got in, but when I went into my room, Cody was reading…at midnight.

"How was the party?" he asked me.

"It was a total blast!" I said, my dull eyes back to normal now. I saw Cody frown, then look away.

"Look, man, it wasn't that much fun with out you their…"

"Zack, thanks for trying, but I know the truth."

I did feel a pigment of guilt. I was the one invited, not Cody. I was always the one. Ever since high school started, it seems like I've been out more, and he's been in more. But I guess I looked anxious, because when he said "Go ahead", I exploded with the details.

"Aw, dude, it was awesome! It was the best party ever! The food and punch was great. And there were laser lights, fog, and bubbles everywhere you went…it was totally awesome!!!"

"Huh," was all my twin said. Huh.

"Did I mention my new girlfriend to you?" I asked.

Cody shook his head.

"Ready? It's Max! We totally connected."

Cody blinked once and then brushed his hair out of his eyes. "See Maddie when you came in?" he asked out of nowhere.

I swallowed hard. I wanted to keep it a secret, even from Cody, that we had a fight and she got fired. I just wanted to close my eyes and dream. Dream of Max, parties, anything but Maddie….
