A Wish Come True
Zack's P.O.V
"Here you go Maya" I said and reached out to hand the banana fofana to her. Maya's chocolate wavy brown locks bounced as she walked and her dark brown eyes captivated mine. "Thanks Zack." She said and took a sip of her favorite smoothie flavor. "No problamo" I said and smiled. "Uggh I'm just sooo tired I couldn't fall asleep at all last night." She said. "How come?" I asked. "You have the whole suite to yourself without a roommate I would easily fall asleep to silence instead of Marcus's sleep singing." I said wishing I didn't have a roommate like Maya. Or wishing my roommate was Maya, I thought pasting a devilish grin on my face. "Marcus sleep sings?" she asked. "Yes! Last night at like 12 all I heard for 10 minutes was retainer baby retainer baby retainer retainer retainer baby" I said. "That's hilarious! And slightly weird." Maya said and smiled. "Anyways what were you saying about a roommate" I asked. "Oh right, anyways I don't I just kind of want a roommate. Maybe it's just a girl thing, but I want someone to talk to all night, paint my nails with, share clothes. It's like having a sister." She said and smiled at the thought. "Yeah that's definitely just a girl thing" I said and Maya laughed. "I just wish I did" She said dreamily. "Well your wish just came true" a voice behind them said.
Maya's P.O.V
The mystery man turned out to be Moseby. "What? Really?" I shrieked. "Yes really" Moseby said and covered his ears. "Sorry, and who?" I asked. Moseby checked his clipboard. "Umm it's a girl by the name of Mackenzie Pyram. She'll be arriving at 3" "Oh my god! This is sooo cool" I said smiling. "Yes it's way cool just be on the deck at 2:58 precisely so you can show her around." Moseby said. "Will do sir" I said and he walked away. "This is so exciting!" I said to Zack. "Congratulations Maya" Zack said and hugged me. He squeezed tightly. I knew Zack liked me and all he'd said it numerous times. Once when he was trying to make me jealous with a girl, he proclaimed in the middle of it that he was in love. The girl thought he was in love with her but he then said it wasn't so I assume it was me. And when we were stuck on London's shoe submarine he said he loved me to my face and I don't know what happened to me but I said I was in love with him too. Of course later I denied it but I still kind of like him. I just don't know if I can trust him I know he's dated every girl on this ship and I'm not in the mood for heartbreak. We pulled away and started talking when I saw Cody and Woody approaching.
Cody's P.O.V
"You know I just realized that sausage tastes amazing with salt and vinegar chips" Woody said licking his fingers as we walked down the hall to the sky deck. "More like disgusting" I said scrunching up my face at the thought. "Don't judge" Woody said. "Uh huh" I said. "So, when are you and Zack heading home for the holidays?" Woody asked. It was December 5th today. "Were leaving when school gets out on the 23rd, like most kids." I said. "yea same. I just wondered because I know Marcus is leaving today for the holiday when we stop in Manhattan." Woody said. "Yea supposedly him and all the rest of the little have big events for every day of December." I said. "I heard. So we won't see him till we get back on the second I guess" Woody said. "Yea" I said. Then the sky deck came into view we walked over to where Maya and Zack were talking at the smoothie counter. "Hey guys!" Woody said to them. "My word woodchucks, what'd you eat a dying skunk" Zack asked as him and Maya fanned the air in front of their noses. "Nope, just sausage with horse radish and salt and vinegar chips." Woody said. "that's twice as bad." Maya said. "You can say that again" I agreed. Then Marcus came up dragging a suitcase with Bailey behind him. Just seeing Bailey (My ex) made my heart melt at her beauty.
Zack's P.O.V.
"Already time to go?" I asked Marcus. "Sadly, yes" Marcus said. "Aww you're gonna miss Mackenzie." Maya said with sympathy. "Who?" Bailey, Cody, Woody, and Marcus said in unison. "It's Maya's new roommate who's boarding the ship at 3" I explained. "yea what Zack said." Maya said. She looked amazing today. She had on a purple top with a white leather jacket over it and dark wash skinny jeans. "Did I hear there's a new girl" London asked appearing from the hallway. 'Yep, Mackenzie" Maya said. "Well as long as I don't have to room with her I'm good." London said. "Well I gotta go bye everyone." Marcus said and went around hugging everyone. A pang of jealousy shot through me when he hugged Maya. He picked up his suitcase again, waved, and headed toward the gangplank. Everyone dispersed except Maya as I looked up at the clock. It was 2:17. "Only 43 more minutes before Mackenzie boards the ship, and you have a new roommate." I said. "Well, I guess I better get ready then" Maya said.
Maya's P.O.V.
"Guess you should" Zack said. "Maybe I could get someone to help me clean up my room a little." I said scanning the deck. Bailey and Cody were awkwardly talking at a table, London was lounging while listening to music, and Woody was in the buffet line talking to Addison. "I could help you" Zack said. "Oh, I don't know Zack" I said. Being alone in a room with him with would definitely push him to make a move. Zack frowned looking very hurt. His electric blue eyes drowning in sorrow. "I understand." He said and wiped a spill off the counter. "I mean I couldn't pull you away from work" I said making excuses. "I get it" he replied. "Well I guess you could come" I said feeling guilty. I actually did want him to go but I didn't want to risk falling for him again. "Nah, Moseby would probably be mad if I left." Zack said. Now I was the one to be disappointed. What had happened to the old Zack who would never pass up a chance to be alone in a room with a girl. Maybe he had changed. I guess he noticed my disappointment because then he added, "I'll meet you here at 2:50 so I can be with you when you meet Mackenzie though" he said. I smiled making him smile. "That sounds good, just dress up a little you Wanna make a good impression." I said. "What?" he asked. "You don't think I look hot in knee socks and an apron" He said smiling his lovable goofy grin. I laughed and walked away. All during cleaning I thought of him. His shaggy blond hair, bright blue eyes, and smile worth a million bucks I was so excited to see him at 2:50 I could hardly stand it. I walked onto the sky deck and there he was. He was wearing a red shirt with a black leather jacket over it and white jeans. He looked sooo cute. "Hey Zack." I called and as I got closer I smelled a whiff of peppermint. Cologne I guessed. "Hey Maya" he said and we talked until 2:58.
Mackenzie's Arrival
Maya's P.O.V.
We sat talking for a while when finally we saw her. She had gorgeous straight blond hair that went a couple inches past her shoulders, and bright blue eyes. She almost looked like Zack and Cody's triplet. Her outfit was cute yet probably only she could pull it off. She had a grey sweater dress that went down to her mid calf. Under that she had army green tights tucked into grey uggs. Sticking out of her uggs were teal, green, and pink striped socks. On her head she had an over sized crocheted beanie. She looked amazing. "Oh" Zack said. "My" I added. "Word" we both said at the same time. Mackenzie scanned the deck then looked at us. She waved and we started to walk toward her. "She reminds me of a girl named Alex Russo that came on the ship once." Zack whispered to me. "Was she nice?" I asked. "Very, and she was funny." "Well let's hope Mackenzie's like that too." I said and soon we were over to her. "Hey Mackenzie I'm your new roommate Maya and I was asked to show you around." I said smiling at her.
"Nice to meet you I'm Mackenzie Pyram. "I'm Zack and I'm just helping Maya" Zack said and stuck out his hand. She shook it. "Well then nice to meet you too." Just then Moseby came up and introduced himself and gave the whole speech. After he left Mackenzie said, "now let's head to our room my luggage is getting heavy!" Mackenzie said lifting the duffel back onto her shoulder. "Let me get it for you" Zack said smiling. "Thank-you" Mackenzie said exasperated and dropped it on his shoulder. "Uphh" Zack said as the weight hit him. "Alright let's head on up to the room." I said and led them there. It was so sweet of Zack to carry her luggage for her I was thinking when Mackenzie snapped me back into reality. "So where are you guys from?" she asked. "I'm from Boston" Zack answered. "I'm from New York, where are you from?" I asked. "We're all near each other I'm from Manhattan." She said.
Mackenzie's P.O.V.
On our way up to the room I noticed that Zack kept staring at Maya like he was in love. Awww. I'd have to ask Maya later if they were going out. I mean they did introduce me together. Whatever though. They looked pretty nice and fun. Maya was really pretty and Zack had potential. I was looking forward to getting to know them. "Alright, here's the suite" Maya said and unlocked it with her key. I walked in Zack trailing me. It looked pretty nice. There were two beds. Maya's had a pink and brown swirled bed. Zack dropped my luggage on my bed. "There you go Mackenzie; I'll leave you two girls to pack." "Bye Zack" Maya and I said. "Bye Maya, er and Mackenzie." Zack said and closed the door behind him. "Awww you two are the cutest couple ever he treats you like you're the only girl on the planet" I said smiling at Maya. "Couple? What? NO!" Maya said. "Well that's not how it appears." I said. Maya smile-sighed. "Look Zack's liked me ever since I boarded this ship…" Maya started and told me all about the submarine, him trying to be friends with her, and everything else. "Awww that's sooo adorable do you like him?" I asked. "Well kind of. And I would go out with him if he weren't such a player. He's dated like every girl on this ship and he's a total prankster. I don't know if I can date someone so high maintenance." She said truthfully. "I hear you. But from my point of view you're the only girl he has eyes for anymore." I said smiling gently at her. Maya shrugged and helped me unpack. After I set up my space me and Maya went down to registration with the teacher Mrs. Tutwieller.
Mrs. Tutwieller's P.O.V
I was sitting at my desk grading papers when Maya walked in with the new girl Mackenzie. "Hello girls." I said. "Hey Mrs. T we need to get Mackenzie registered." Maya said. "Of course" I said and the girls walked over to my desk. "Let's see" I said and scanned my finger over my clipboard to find out what she needed. "Alright, here's your schedule you have the same class as the students Maya, Cody, Bailey, Zack, Woody, Addison, and Marcus." I said. "And here's is you textbooks for math, science, social studies, and reading." I said pulling them out from under my desk. "Also, here is your student spending card it allows you money to spend for the semester. But if you spend it all you will have to get on deck jobs like Zack and Cody. So be careful. Alright now some rules. Curfew is 10:00 on weekdays. !0:45 on weekends. If you're caught out past then you will have detention for the next day. Those are all the rules so you and Maya are free to go, good luck Mackenzie." I said and the two girls hurried out the door. After they left I couldn't help but notice how much Mackenzie looked like Zack and Cody.
Zack's P.O.V
"Here you go Woodster a mango tango." I said handing Woody the smoothie. "Thanks Zack" he said. "Want anything Cody?" I asked. "Nah, I had a protein shake this morning." "Whatever you say codes." I said and turned to London. "Want me to refill you berry blast" I asked. "Nope" She said and twirled on her spinning chair. "Bails you want anything?" I asked Bailey who was trying to stop London from spinning. "Yea I'll have a tropical twist" she said. I made the smoothie and handed it to her when Addison came over and for the next twenty minutes we heard non-stop talk about what smoothies she liked and didn't like when Maya and Mackenzie came up. "Finally a distraction" I said. "I heard that" London and Bailey said. "Hey guys" Maya said. "This is my new roommate Mackenzie." She finished and Mackenzie waved and said hey. "Mackenzie, this is Bailey, London, Cody, Woody, Addison, and as you already know Zack." "Nice to meet you all" Mackenzie said. "Zack, Cody, I didn't know you guys had a third twin." London said smiling and pointing. "We don't London and if we did it wouldn't be third twin it would be a triplet" Cody said. "She really does look like you guys" Bailey said. "Well where were you born?" I asked to test the theory. "Manhattan." She answered. "There you go we're not related." Cody said and we all started talking. After a while Woody and Addison went to the Lido deck, and London went to her boutique one of a kind. "Hey Maya would you mind coming to my room for a second you left your earrings there the other night." Bailey said. "Sure, Mackenzie would you mind hanging with Zack for a couple minutes." "Not at all" she said and I smiled.
Mackenzie's P.O.V.
As soon as the two left I said to Zack. "So what's the deal with Maya?" "What do you mean?" he asked. "I mean you stare at her 24/7 so do you like her?" "To tell the truth I think I love her." Zack said staring off at the sea. "Really?" I asked thinking how sweet he was. "Really. She's beautiful, funny, smart, sassy, everything." He said. "Well then why don't you ask her out?" I asked even though I knew the answer. "Trust me I have." He said. "But, she still thinks I'm a player and though I was I've changed for her. But now I'm just doing what she says and I'm just being her friend." He said. "Well I'm sorry. Anyways to change the subject you said you grew up in Boston?" She asked. "Yea, our mom was the singing entertainment at The Tipton Hotel so we lived there for a while. That's how we know London and Moseby." Zack said. "Moseby worked at the Tipton Hotel too?" she asked. "Yea, he was the manager. We played so many pranks on him and made his life miserable!" Zack said smiling a goofy grin. "Really? I love pranks how?" I asked. "Well we snuck a horse in the hotel once, made the Chinese singer who was to perform go, stole stuff from Jesse McCartney, snuck into the honeymoon suite, broke every piece of furniture in the amputator's room and sooo much more." Zack said laughing. "That's hilarious" I said. "All the pranks I've ever done on anyone was on my brothers." "You like pranks too?" he asked. "Duh it's hilarious watching people fall for it." I said laughing. "Looks like we have a lot in common." Zack said. "guess we do" I said when Bailey and Maya appeared back on the sky deck. Maya was holding some pearl earrings.
