My Ex-Boyfriend's Back

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHINGGGGG!

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow!" Zoey and her boyfriend James had just finished up a completely fantastic date filled with walks on the beach, romantic movies, and sushi.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" the blonde haired boy gave her a wink and leaned in to give her a soft kiss on the lips. She responded with twice as much enthusiasm and it turned into a full-blown makeout session.

"Wow," Zoey said, after they had unglued themselves from each other, "Have I ever mentioned what an amazing kisser you are?"

"I think you've mentioned it," James gave her another wink and a quick little squeeze. "Well I better let you go. Good luck on your chem. test tomorrow!" James had finished chemistry already at his old school and fully appreciated the toughness of the subject.

"Thanks, I'm gonna need it!" He laughed, and the two of them made their way back to their dorms.

"Oooh, looks like someone had a great time on her little date!" Lola said, excited after seeing the smile on her friend's face.

"Aww, you two are so cute together!" Quinn added.

"Shut up you guys! But, yes I did have a good time, and yes we are cute." The girls all began to giggle, and didn't stop until they heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it!" Lola yelled, already making her way to the other side of the room. "Oh hey, Michael!" she greeted brightly.

"Hey Lola, hey Quinn," the young boy responded, looking strangely solemn.

"Michael, are you okay? You look depressed, and I've noticed you failed to mention my greeting," Zoey began to joke, but then stopped abruptly when she noticed the still-serious expression on his face.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that, well, it's—" He seemed to be struggling to find words.

"Come on, you can tell us," coaxed Quinn, "Is it about Chase?" Their semester had ended the previous week and she figured that probably Chase's was, too.

The word "Chase" seemed to light a fire under a butt and he blurted out,

"Yes! It is! Chase's semester at Convington finally ended, and now he's coming back! But, now the whole thing with James, I don't know what to do! What am I supposed to tell Chase?" he began to hyperventilate and Lola began to try to calm him down.

"Oh, man, what am I going to tell Chase? He told me he was in love with me, and he's gonna come back, find out he doesn't have a room anymore, and that the reason for that is MY BOYFRIEND?" Zoey started to freak out in pretty much the same way as Michael.

"Zo, Michael, both of you: CALM DOWN!" Quinn yelled over all the dry sobbing. "Look, one of you has to break the news to Chase and I personally feel it should be—"

Suddenly her phone went off, and after seeing the number, ran out of the room.

"Well that was weird," said Lola.

"Whatever. The point is, we have to decide who's gonna tell Chase when he gets back!" Michael was still a bit jittery from telling the news.

"Well here's how I see it," Lola began, and the other two looked at her in amazement, "Zoey is, technically Chase's 'ex', and Michael is Chase's best friend. One of you is going to tell him and," she took a deep breath "It should be Zoey." She finished very seriously, but couldn't help adding a "Wow, I feel smart!"

"Well, okay, so I have to tell Chase. But how is he gonna react? I don't want him to cry or anything."

"Well I can't promise he won't cry," Michael said, now very heartened by the fact that Zoey would fix everything, "But you'll deal with it. I know you will."

"Easy for you to say," she muttered under her breath and left to go find James and explain the situation to him.
