Chapter One: Chemistry Tutor!
Zoey's P.O.V.
It was during lunch break Chase and I were studying for our chemistry test tomorrow and I was starting to get frustrated, feeling a migraine coming from studying too much before we head to Winter Break which is making everyone freaking out leaving me a bit stressed out because I'm not good with Chemistry at all. It's my least favorite subject to begin with.
"I think a carbon double bond is short and strong than a single bond…" Chase stated with a confused expression on his face "Wait I'm confuse," he asked.
"Wait a second isn't the double bond an atom with a single bond and one PI bonded though?" I explained to him.
"I would like to eat pie," Chase stated this but, I interrupted him.
"Can I say something?" I asked.
"Hmm sure," Chase says where he saw me standing up making an announcement which came out of nowhere.
"I HATE CHEMISTRY?! I hate it I just wanted to make that very clear to everyone," I exclaimed causing everyone to turn to my direction including Michael and Logan who looked taken back from my outburst then turned away from us and went back from to wherever they were doing.
I took a deep breath to calm myself and sat down as I ran my hand through my hair stressing myself out while Chase ate his fries, I made a small smile knowing he always seem to make me feel better in times. It's one of the reasons why we're best friends.
"Why don't you know eat a French Fry, it would calm you right down," Chase suggested.
"Nah I'm already full…" I stated at this looking at Chase with an odd look on my face "Whatever happen to eating healthy for now on huh?" I asked.
"What a French fry," Chase pointed out showing his French fry as I raised my eyebrow at him "Is very healthy for example the French fry are made from potatoes which is a vegetable," he then dips his French fry into ketchup "While the ketchup is made from a tomato which just happens to be a vegetable so it's a hand-held salad get it," he explained with a smile while I shook my head.
"Actually, Chase you're—" I realized he was right since tomato is neither fruit or vegetable "Never mind…you were right as always" as I took one French fry where I heard him chuckle under his breath staring at him oddly not getting what was so funny "What?" I asked.
"You chew funny. I told you I was right about the tomato being a vegetable it just comes to show that you Zoey Brooks have you no completely faith in me," Chase explained; I stared at him for a moment with a blank look not sure if I find that insulting or funny. I decided that it was a bit insulting since I was a bit tired I didn't feel like arguing in that argument.
"Goodbye," I told him grabbing my stuff.
"It's a good funny," Chase called after me as I started to walk pass Logan and Michael giving them a wave "Since it's a good thing! Zoey! Zoey! Zoe!" he called after me where I could've sworn he muttered under his breath 'I'm an idiot' despite how I was a few feet away from him I wasn't sure how I heard that; nobody in PCA knows that I knew that he has feelings for me … I just played it off making them think that I don't know about it but, deep down—I knew about it I just … don't consider him more than just my guy best friend who means a lot to me I mean don't get me wrong Chase is a great guy he's just not my type…he's more like a nice safe guy which I usually go out with but, the problem was it would change our relationship, I didn't want that and if I'm pretty sure Chase would've felt the same way if we talked about it—besides I consider him as a brother who just happens to be my best friend so it would be a bit weird between us at least to me anyway.
'I really need to get a boyfriend,' I thought to myself.
Logan's P.O.V.
After Zoey's outburst I noticed that she was leaving, waved at us as we greeted her that Michael and I decided to join Chase as I watched Zoey disappear heading to the dorms. That's when Michael started a conversation between the three of us wondering what was Zoey's outburst about?
"Hey man where's Zoey heading off too?" Michael asked noticing Chase sulking sadly.
'Oh, great now we're going to have to deal with moody Chase,' I thought to myself; if anything, it tends to get annoying but, I didn't show it.
"She probably going to her dorm," Chase sulky sadly with a sigh.
"Dude! Why can't you just tell her how you feel already. I mean everybody can tell that you're in love with her," I pointed out; even though … deep down I couldn't help but, feel jealous that he's best friends with Zoey since her first day that I am not that I cared before but, now it's starting to consume me.
"Maybe because I don't want her to find that could ruin our friendship and how do you know I love Zoey," Chase argued back when he noticed I gave a blank 'are you really going to deny that you have feelings for Zoey in front of me even though we both know that's a lie' look where he steadied himself "Look she's just my best friend," causing Michael to cough making me roll my eyes at this "You're still number #1 man it's just you know Zoey's my girl best friend," he assured him which left Michael quite happy.
"Okay then," Michael nodded with a smug on his face.
"And what does that make me?" I asked feeling a bit offended by this.
"That's easy you're our girl best friend since you love to look in the mirror and check yourself out that left the ladies swoon over you," Michael pointed out in a joking kind of way.
"Oh ha, ha, ha very funny! I'm so outta here," I scoffed at this which left me to leave the table leaving them by themselves, so I can think some more.
"Hey, wait where are you going?" Chase called after me
I turned to my left side "I'm going to shoot some hoops don't wait up, later man," I told him walking away from my two best friends. I know they're just playing around since we're all best friends with one another since our first day in PCA.
"What was that about?" Michael asked in the background where I'm pretty sure Chase shrugged not knowing what was going on with me, neither of them knew which I happen to like it that way… so I just continued walking around deep into my thoughts that I didn't even noticed that I found a spot and sat down.
In the other side of PCA campus was Zoey's girl's dorm room which is one of the dorms buildings that has the biggest room and has the view of the ocean—Ocean Breeze Building which apparently it was Dean River's wife suggestion for the girl's dorm before they started school which seemed to fit since they can see the ocean and all that. Lola Martinez and Quinn Pensky happened to be Zoey's roommates and her best friends besides Nichole and Dana who don't go to PCA anymore but, they still stay in touch when they time.
Lola and Quinn were minding their own business hanging out inside their dorm well mostly Quinn who's browsing around inside her laptop for research while Lola was scattering around looking for her black sweater all over their dorm room.
"Where is my black sweater," Lola asked no one in particular.
"I don't know," Quinn answered without looking up.
"Ugh where is it?!" Lola huffed looking through her drawers and then bends down to look under the bunk beds where she found it "Oh here it is!" she stated which was under the bed until a rat came through the arm sleeve out of her sweater that the small rat squeaks and merely touched Lola that cause her to freak out.
Lola screams "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Quinn jumped from Lola's scream that she sets down her lap top down on the table "What? What, what, what, what, what, what," she asked.
"There's a rat underneath the bed," Lola answered freaking out.
"Really," Quinn perks up with hope in her eyes causing her to look for her rat by trying to move Lola out of the way but, she blocked her way.
"Where's the hand sanitizer?!" Lola began to say where Quinn didn't answer she asked her again "WHERE IS THE HAND SANTISIZER!?" she exclaimed
"It's right over there," Quinn replied as she cringes from Lola's tone of voice by her freaking out by the rat pointing at the computer desk. Lola screams putting the hand sanitizer all over her right arm while Quinn bends down to look underneath the bed to look for her rat.
"Call the police!?" Lola exclaimed.
"Lola," Quinn stated but, was cut off by Lola.
"Call the sheriff's department," Lola exclaimed waving her arms dramatically while Quinn stared at Lola with a blank 'Really' look by trying to explain to her roommate/best friend that it was her rat.
"It's my rat," Quinn answered.
Lola whip splashed starring at the girl "WHAT?!" she exclaimed causing Quinn to cringe from her tone of voice.
"It's mine. I was doing an experiment to see if rats can learn how to dance but, he escaped like six weeks ago and I thought he was gone forever. It's my rat." Quinn explained.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU!?" Lola exclaimed from her tone of voice that Quinn wince from her scream.
"Nothing? Is experimenting with rodent choreography so weird?!" Quinn asked.
"ABSOLUTELY!" Lola exclaimed.
"Look just calm down…." Quinn relaxing Lola's shoulders a bit "Relax and I'm going to catch the rat," she explained that left Lola a bit relived by the news as Quinn walks up to the I-pod stereo and starts dancing weird.
"What are you doing?" Lola asked staring at her weirdly.
"Well he's not going to dance alone?" Quinn answered.
Lola looks at Quinn weirdly by slowly backing away from her friend plus the rat where it could be anywhere inside their room.
"Hey where's Zoe?" Lola asked.
"You were just noticing this now… she's probably around the campus or something," Quinn answered who continued to dance weirdly.
Lola shrugged her shoulders in response continuing to read her book for her drama class that she has with Chase apparently, they got drama class together that's when Zoey came back noticing Quinn dancing weird.
"Uh hey guys… "Zoey greeted her friends "Quinn… why are you dancing so weird?" she asked hesitated not wanting to hurt her feelings.
"I'm trying to catch the rat by dancing," Quinn answered.
Zoey stared at her weirdly "Do I even want—" she was cut off by Lola.
"No not really," Lola answered.
Zoey nodded at this then grabbed her chemistry book to study some more even though she's not really a huge fan of the subject to begin with that was until Chase gave her a text.
'Hey Zoe, do you and the girls want to head to Sushi Rox for dinner?' Chase text read.
"Hey Lo, Quinny do you guys want to go Sushi Rox Chase invited us to go?" Zoey offered.
"Yeah sure I'm down," Lola answered.
"Sure," Quinn replied stopping from dancing weird.
"Cool let me just give him a quick text that we'll meet him and the guys in a bit," Zoey answered with a quick text who responded 10 seconds later.
'Cool, we'll meet you guys over there then,' Chase replied.
"He and the guys are going to meet us over there," Zoey answered.
"Cool come on Sushi awaits for us," Lola announced causing Zoey to chuckle.
"Right behind you Lo," Zoey and Quinn answered as they grabbed their purses to follow Lola who suddenly have a craving for Sushi.
[20 minutes later] …
Chase's .
"Hey, there they are," I pointed out as I see Zoey and the girls heading to the Sushi Rox—we were saving seats for Zoey, Lola and Quinn who were chatting away themselves.
"About time I'm starving," Michael complained.
"We were only waited for like 10 minutes man relax," I calmed him down causing Michael to sigh.
Michael was about to answer but, I cut him off by turning to my other best friend Logan noticing that he was quiet "Hey Logan, you okay man? You've been awfully quiet since we got here?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine don't worry so much," Logan answered waving it off.
I was about to answer until Lola and Quinn greeted us inside as she sat down next to me with Quinn sitting in the other side of Lola—I noticed that Zoey wasn't with them.
"Hey where's Zoe?" I asked all confuse.
Quinn blinked her eyes owlish about to answer but, Lola cut her off "Oh, she's outside talking to her cousin on the phone. She said she'll meet us inside once she's done," she answered pointing at Zoey who's talking to someone on her cell phone—we heard some of the conversation.
Nobody's P.O.V.
"Hello?" Zoey answered her cousin's phone call.
"Hey cookie bear," Hayley answered.
"Tigger!" Zoey beamed at her cousin's voice "What's up? I haven't heard from you in a while? What have you been up too?" she asked.
"Not much and I know I've been so busy with cheerleading practice that I haven't gotten any alone time. Guess what! I have some awesome news to share," Hayley replied.
"Really," Zoey switched her phone to her other ear "Do tell?" she asked as she entered Sushi Rox to join her friends not realizing that she was sitting in the middle between Quinn and Logan.
"Well you know Winter Break is coming up? Are you doing anything with the family?" Hayley asked curiously through her voice.
Zoey pausing for a moment using her thinking face then shook her head "Not that I know of unless you count with nana and pops coming over for Christmas as always then no why do you ask?" she explained.
"Well nana and pops are having a ball this year?" Hayley asked.
"A ball?" Zoey looked confuse "What ball?" she asked.
"Oh, this ball that the family always have for a family tradition silly," Hayley giggled at this causing Zoey so confuse "In Daddy's Yacht?" she asked.
"Uncle Lars have a yacht…" Zoey slowly blinked her eyes at this ignoring her friend's gawk's looks "Since when does he have a yacht? Isn't that a little expensive?" she asked.
"It usually is but, daddy got a good deal with one of the sailors back home," Hayley sighed at this "I'm so excited I always wanted to ride on a yacht and have those drinks with the mini umbrellas on top," she explained.
Zoey titled her head then shrugged "Well that sounds exciting I didn't even know …that uncle Lars can afford that…" she drifted off then shook her head "So… this ball what's it about? I wasn't even aware they're having a ball" she explained.
"Oh yes," Hayley nodded at this "Well it's family tradition in our family cookie bear as you know the last time we had a Christmas ball was two years ago before… I turned 16 and since I'm now 18 years old… the next line behind me for the girls would be… you…" she explained.
"Me?" Zoey asked all confuse.
"Mhmm since you're the 21rst oldest in our family of children silly," Hayley giggled at this "Isn't that exciting we get to go shopping and have a grand ball," she explained.
"Yeah that does sound like fun but, what kind of ball is it… is like one of those charity balls or… a family ball what?" Zoey asked.
Hayley gave a 'hum' sound "Well to be honest I'm not completely sure usually nana would be the one to plan these things but, apparently it's a big deal from what I heard from daddy talking to uncle Dan who lives in London," she explained.
"We have an uncle Dan in London," Zoey asked.
"Yes, yes, we do… apparently uncle Dan is our daddy's brother's—older brother as far as I know," Hayley explained.
Zoey blinked her eyes owlish nodding at this "Okay that's great, what's uncle Dan like? Is he married have kids what?" she asked.
"Well I never met him before but, from what daddy said uncle Dan has about nine children and happily married to auntie Emma," Hayley explained.
Zoey choked on this "Nine children?" she squeaked at this.
"Yes, nine children—four boys, two girls are twins, then there's Hermione who's about my age and then there's the youngest twins—boy and girl," Hayley rambled over this.
"Really…. how come I never heard of him before?" Zoey asked.
"I'm not sure daddy doesn't like to talk about it," Hayley sighed at this "So what do you think of the Christmas Ball do you think we'd be able to go shopping when I come visit you cookie," she explained.
"Christmas ball coming here?" Zoey squeaked at this.
"Yes, silly goose I'm coming to visit you did I not mention that," Hayley teased at this.
"No, no you didn't," Zoey pointed out.
"Oops," Hayley innocently at this.
Zoey rolled her eyes "When are you coming?" she asked.
"I would say … about in the Holidays before Thanksgiving darling," Hayley sighed at this "Oh and I'm bringing my friends to come with I hope that's alright cookie," she explained.
"Oh, really who?" Zoey asked.
"Well you know there's Felix Garcia, a science nerd then there's Kirby Cadworth-Bankcroft Iii, then my best friend in the whole entire world Cadence Nash and then there's… "Hayley drifted off where you can feel the blush coming through her cheeks "Jake Collins," she explained.
Zoey gave a sly smile "Jake Collins huh the guy that you happened to ramble over whenever we talk. It's always Jake did the sweetest thing, Jake did this, or Jake did that—then let's not forget about Valentine's day," she teased her cousin Hayley who flushed over this "And the fact that he brought you a corsage of your favorite flowers orchids, lilies and pink roses; if you ask me tigger that boy is head over heels in love with you. Honestly tigger if people can tell that he has strong feelings for you that I don't know what it is because he treats you like you're the only woman in his life—that must be the most romantic thing a guy has ever done. I wish I can find a guy like that but, unfortunately there's no one like that here in PCA as far as I know anyway… you don't find guys like that anywhere because let's face it— he's one of a kind tigger and if you don't want him I can take him off your hands," she giggled "Besides the fact that he knows your favorite flowers, stuff animals and knows what to get you my god tigger you're so lucky to find a guy like that, you should feel so lucky to have a genuine guy like Jake tigger unlike Jake he actually loves you unlike those guys that you dated they only want one thing," she explained.
"It's not like that with Jake and I… we're just good friends…" Hayley denies this.
"Oh please," Zoey rolled her eyes at this "That boy is Head Over. Heels in Love with you tigger. Why can't you just admit it that you love him it's okay if you do. I'm not going to judge you,"
Hayley soften her eyes "I know you wouldn't… and I guess I'm just scared that it would ruin our friendship because we gotten really close ever since we joined the mime club," she whispered.
"Mime Club I thought you hate mimes," Zoey asked all confuse.
"Oh, I do…. But, thanks to Jake… I overcame my fears over Mimes," Hayley lied at this.
Zoey blinked her eyes owlish "Huh… really… so … how are you and Jake?" she teased her cousin.
"We're doing fine cookie," Hayley sighed happily "We went on our first date a couple of weeks ago?"
"Really you guys already went on a date why wasn't I aware of this and what did you guys do?" Zoey asked.
"Oh well it must've crossed my mind and we went to the carnival it was so sweet, we spend the whole day together and during the carnival we went to play carnival games and he won me this cute little teddy bear which I'm going to send you a picture in a bit, it was so sweet and we went to the Ferris wheel and saw the fireworks it was really romantic," Hayley rambled over her first date with Jake blushing over their first kiss "And we also had our first kiss there," she explained.
"YOU GUYS KISSED?!" Zoey squealed causing her friends to jump by covering their ears from her scream "No way how was the kiss," she teased her cousin.
Hayley sighed "It was perfect we actually made out the whole entire ride that Jake had to pay the guy for the whole entire night because of it so it was about 4 ½ hours that we made out," she blushed.
Zoey squealed again "Oh my gosh tigger that's amazing! I'm so glad you guys went on your date—" only to be cut off by Logan who looked rather annoyed.
"Uh Brooks, not to interrupt your meaningful conversation with your … cousin … but, aren't you going to eat anytime soon or what?" Logan asked sarcastically says.
Zoey blinked her eyes owlish "What?" she asked turning to Logan.
"I said aren't you going to eat anytime soon since we did come here to get something to eat but, the whole time we've been waiting for you to be done talking to your cousin since we're eating Sushi?" Logan flatly replied.
Zoey stared at Logan for a long moment then looked at her phone then shrugged "I'm not really hungry," she answered.
Logan looked rather peeved, poke his tongue then took a deep breath "Look … Brooks I rather you eat something then starving yourself to death so just freaking order, so we can eat," he explained.
"I told you I'm not really hungry, so I'll be fine," Zoey argued back.
"Come on Zoe you should order something at least please," Quinn intervened between them sensing an argument between them using her puppy dog look where Zoey sighed in defeat and grabbed a random sushi out of Chase's plate "Happy," she gave a tight smile towards Logan who was about to argue but, was ignored when Zoey swallowed and drank her Blinx drink by going back to her phone conversation with her cousin "Sorry about that tigger I had to get some sushi," she explained.
"Oh, don't worry about it cookie. So, you're getting sushi with your friends huh?" Hayley asked.
"Yeah, Chase invited me and the girls to grab some sushi but, I'm a bit full," Zoey yawned covering her mouth; she felt herself being tired from studying for Chemistry with Chase.
"You sound tried cookie are you sure you don't want me to let you go?" Hayley asked worriedly over her little cousin.
"No, no I'm completely fine…" Zoey yawned at this "So um what were we talking about again?"
"We were finishing my date with Jake and how it turned out then I was about to ask you about … your friends … Chase, Michael and Logan?" Hayley asked.
Zoey blinked her eyes owlish "Hm… what about Chase and the guys?" she asked.
"Oh, nothing in particular have you seen Dustin around?" Hayley asked randomly changing the subject.
"Um no… I haven't seen Dustin since this morning… he's probably with his friends or something… why are you asking about Chase and the guys for?" Zoey asked.
"No reason I just curious if you're hanging out with them?" Hayley asked.
Zoey furrowed her eyebrows at this "Yeah I'm hanging out with Chase, Michael, Lola, Quinny and then there's Logan what about them…we're eating sushi?" she asked.
Hayley sighed at this "Lucky I want some sushi," she pouted at this.
Zoey chuckled "Well when you come over to visit I'll drive you to the nearest sushi place and you can have sushi all you want," she explained.
"That's sweet. Did you eat already or not yet?" Hayley asked.
"Yeah, I had lunch a while ago," Zoey told her.
"Oh, what did you eat?" Hayley yawned at this.
"I had a fruit salad and an apple," Zoey says.
"A fruit salad and an apple I hope you had more than just a salad cookie," Hayley scolded her cousin.
Zoey sighed "Yes, tigger I had more than an apple and a fruit salad thanks for caring cuz you're sounding like nana sometimes because she asks me the same thing whenever we talk—" she drifted off eating her shrimp tempura and swallowed "Hey tigger can I ask you something?" she asked.
"I'm just looking out for you cookie and of course you can ask me anything?" Hayley asked softly replied.
"How did you know that your feelings for Jake were real?" Zoey randomly asked.
Hayley blinked her eyes owlish "Well… it's the small things … really like how he would open the door for me even though he didn't have too, or ask me similar questions, someone who's your best friend, someone who would listen to your problems etc why do you ask. Does that mean you thought of someone that you could like," she teased her cousin?
"No… "Zoey denied this "I was just curious that's all… so speaking of your friends how's Felix, Kirby, Cadence and Jake doing?" she asked.
"They're all good Felix was just inventing an invention of his," Hayley sighed at this "Kirby and Cadence been spending a lot of time together and then there's Jake we been hanging out a lot since our date," she explained.
"Really how many dates did you two went?" Zoey teased her.
Hayley flushed "I would say five dates so far…" she drifted off "He's taking me out again this coming Friday I'm actually curious what he got planned this time," she giggled "He's always full of surprises," she explained.
"Awe," Zoey soften her eyes at this putting her hand over her chest "That's so sweet—" she noticed her friends nearly finishing their dinner "Hey tigger I'm going to let you go since my friends been patiently waiting for me to get off the phone," she explained.
"Oh, okay call me later huh when you get a chance. I love and miss you cookie. I can't wait to see you mauhz," Hayley explained blowing a kiss to her cousin.
"I will. I love and miss you too tigger, I can't wait to see you either mauhz," Zoey paused for a moment blowing kisses to her cousin on the phone "Oh and tigger," she asked.
"Yeah?" Hayley asked.
"If Jake hurts you or even think of breaking your heart I'm going to force my friend Logan to take me to his private jet he has and head to Washington myself, and kick his scrawny arse by ripping his dick off by shoving it so hard in his butt hole that he won't be able to conceive any children in his nearest future kay," Zoey perked up with a serious hard-tone through her voice.
"Message receive loud and clear Zoey," Jake answered shakily.
"Brilliant take care of my cousin or else you'll see me in the next flight kicking your arse Bronx love you," Zoey perked up with a serious tone causing Jake shakily at this.
"Love you too babez and don't worry I'm not planning on hurting her," Jake answered.
"Good, have fun you two but, not too much fun since I'm too young to be an auntie," Zoey perked up.
"ZOEY!" "COOKIE?!" Jake and Hayley exclaimed blushing on her comment.
"Byeeeeee," Zoey giggled and hung up grabbing the last of her shrimp tempura "Yum," she says.
"What was that about Brooks?" Logan spoke up after being quiet after their last conversation.
"What was what?" Zoey ignored his question.
Logan was about to answer but, held himself back "Never mind…" he grumbled under his breath staring at the window once more.
"Great sushi Kazoo as always," Zoey perked up.
Kazoo nodded at the compliment then Chase interrupted about to answer but, once again someone's phone was ringing—we checked our phones which turned out to be Zoey again.
"Oh, shoot that's mine, sorry I have to take this" Zoey randomly gets up and grabbed her things paying her sushi "Quinny, Lo I'll meet you guys at the dorm okay," she explained.
"But, Zoe—" Lola complained and huffed at this seeing Zoey just left the door talking to someone "Who could be calling her at this hour?"
Quinn shrugged at this "Maybe it's her father…" she guessed at this.
The next few days, later in Chemistry class Zoey, Lola, Chase and Logan were getting their tests from Ms. Bromwell where she suggested Zoey to reconsider getting herself a tutor before their midterms that's coming up in a few weeks before they leave for Winter Break.
Zoey finds herself fidgeting her pencil and pen that looks like a pen since it can hold two things at once, even though she studied for the test she knew she didn't do well especially in Chemistry since it's not her best subject. The teacher Ms. Bromwell slowly made her way around to each student handing back their tests.
"I'm happy that some of you did well on their test although some of you didn't do well. The next time let's try to have more happy tests and fewer weren't 'sadly' tests hmm. Here's your test Martin," Ms. Bromwell began to say passing each test from the left side of the classroom until she reached to Logan "Here you go Logan," she explained. Logan didn't answer and just put his test away inside his binder with a serious look on his face before Zoey can blink her eyes dumbly at this.
"What did you get?" Chase asked curiously turning to Logan.
"Who cares," Logan flatly replied shrugging his shoulders.
"Ouch," Chase winced at this "That bad huh?" he cringes thinking his friend didn't do well.
"Look you don't have to be good at chemistry when you're going to be a famous athletic or a male model. Hell, you could do both if you wanted too right?" Logan asked as he leans a bit closer to his best friend Chase as they were in a middle of a conversation.
"But, what if—what if you're good at both I mean…" Chase drifted off but, got interrupted by their teacher Ms. Bromwell as she crushed his paper leaving Logan widen his eyes in surprise and Chase startled by this "Well that's a crime against aviation," he explained.
"Good joke, but, bad, bad, grade unfortunately" Ms. Bromwell replied passing Chase his test back and turn over his paper over seeing his test grade which he saw a D- and made him sad.
"And now I'm sad," Chase sighed sadly in a sad tone where Logan looked over Chase shoulder to see what he got.
"Ouch…" Logan winced at this "Sorry buddy," as he was consoling his best friend patting him on the back.
"Here you go Zoey," Ms. Bromwell stated passing her test back "You might want to reconsider getting a tutor before the big test that's coming in mid-terms that's coming up soon and here's your test Lola," she explained. As soon as Ms. Bromwell passed Zoey's test face down on Zoey's and Lola's desk leaving Zoey to think about it about the tutor suggestion; Zoey bit her bottom lip cautiously turned over her test and reveal her grade a D- leaving her to sad.
"Awe man," Zoey sadly says.
"So how did you do Zoe?" Chase asked turning to his other best friend Zoey since they were neighbors leaving her in a defeated sigh.
"Not so well," Zoey answered (a/n: in Chemistry class Logan & Chase on the left side of the table then Zoey and Lola next to them since their desks holds up to two people but, in a row by sitting next to each other; as you can tell I changed a few things in this chapter)
"So, what did you get Zoe?" Lola whispered to her.
Zoey bit her bottom lip nervously "I got a D- how about you?" she whispered back.
"That sucks, I got a C. Maybe you should get that tutor that Ms. Bromwell suggested I'm sure you'll get better you usually do" Lola offered as she bumped her shoulder in a comfort way towards her best friend.
"Yeah … maybe…" Zoey whispered.
"Those of who did very poorly are going to have to work really hard for the mid-terms if you want to pass this class unless you want to repeat or come back here next year," Ms. Bromwell announced (the bell rings) "Dismiss, you may go and don't forget to study Ch. 1-20 since the mid-terms are coming up very soon. We're going to be studying the atoms next week and have a good weekend," she explained; as everyone was leaving Zoey stayed behind to talk to her teacher.
Zoey's P.O.V.
After class I stayed behind after I told Lola I'll see her later since she had drama class with Chase after this. I came with a decision that I needed to tutor and went to tell Ms. Bromwell about it. Even if I didn't get one then I knew I would fail this class and that's not something that I wouldn't want to do, I wanted to have at least a C or better that would be nice?
"Um Ms. Bromwell," I asked as I decided to get a tutor.
"Yes, what is it Zoey?" Ms. Bromwell asked which completely startled me but, I didn't show it.
"Yeah, I have decided to get that tutor you suggested," I explained.
"Oh, that's good, I know the perfect person in mind too. I'll talk to him and get back to you," Ms. Bromwell stated with a smile and before I left she spoke up again "Oh and Zoey your good friends with Chase, aren't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, we're best friends actually why," I asked.
"Is his hair natural that way or is it from a perm?" Ms. Bromwell asked me that got me all confuse. A lot of people think Chase's hair is a perm when it's really his hair.
"Um, no, I think it's natural." I told her.
"That's fascinating," Ms. Bromwell began to say as she nodded at herself then added "Alright Zoey, I'll go talk to him and get back to you tomorrow. Have a good weekend," she told me.
"You too Ms. Bromwell." I told her with a smile as I exit my chemistry class. It was a guy; a him? Hopefully he would be cute? Although it would just be my luck to get a nerd not that I have a problem against them or anything but, I'm just tired of being single. I could use a bit of flirting not that I'm desperate or anything. I'm suddenly thankful that I didn't say that out loud it would be a bit rude that I mention anything. I didn't mean to come out that way? Ugh!? I'm rambling, again aren't I? I don't even know why I mean I guess I'm just stressed out with finals that's coming up and this grade for chemistry… if the tutor doesn't even work I don't even know what I would do.
The next day in Saturday around noon where Zoey went to meet up with her teacher Ms. Bromwell in the other side of PCA campus where she'll meet up with her chemistry tutor and boy is she up for a big surprise.
"Thank you for meeting me here Zoey. I know it's Saturday and you'd rather be doing other things right now," Ms. Bromwell explained as I was waiting for her from one of the benches.
"It's not a problem. So, did you find me a tutor?" I asked, standing up.
"Yes, he's one of my best students in chemistry actually," Ms. Bromwell beamed at this almost like she's quite proud of him whoever he is.
"Cool, who is he?" I asked curiously looking around.
"Well he's—" Ms. Bromwell mid-stopped turns around to find the chemistry student who's my tutor isn't at his spot then turns around to face me "That's particular I could've sworn he was right over there oh wait there he is come along Zoey," she explained (a/n: you know in that episode of Zoey's tutor where Ms. Bromwell was looking for Logan—well apparently he was hiding on the other side of building well it's very similar to that part of the episode)
Ms. Bromwell and I walked to the end of the building and I saw a familiar face, it was Logan?
'Wait what? What is he doing here?' I thought to myself staring at him in disbelief by the news.
"Zoey I would like you to meet your tutor Logan," Ms. Bromwell told me as she was turning her back towards me.
'No way. It can't be he can't be my tutor this has got to be a huge joke, right?' I thought to myself staring at him in disbelief.
Logan's P.O.V.
As I was spotted from Ms. Bromwell I didn't want anyone to find out my secret until I saw her…
'Oh, that's just great!? Zoey's the one I'm supposed to tutor. This is just a huge bad idea written all over it,' I thought to myself.
"Logan?!" Zoey exclaimed.
"Yeah, like I'm really thrilled over this than you are Brooks," I told her sarcastically.
"Yeah, we know each other umm… are you sure about this Ms. Bromwell you're probably confusing him for someone else," Zoey asked the teacher. I could tell she wasn't exactly thrilled about this either although I can guarantee that it's from a different reason then why I didn't like it.
"Oh, course I'm sure Logan just happened to be one of my Top students; he even got a 100 on his last test," Ms. Bromwell announced with a proud smile where some of the kids turned towards us to see what the fuss was about but, I couldn't help but, feel a bit defensive with that comment.
"Do you really have to say that out loud," I told Ms. Bromwell hoping nobody I knew heard that which they haven't. I can't have that getting out it would ruin my rep in this school.
"He can't be one of your best students?! I mean no offense to Logan here," Zoey began to say as she pointed out at me which left me a bit offended by her comment "But, he's an idiot," she exclaimed.
The teacher, Ms. Bromwell smiled started to fade with a puzzle look on her face obviously not understanding why Zoey's reacting over this but, I knew though which I couldn't take it, so I decided to grant her wish.
"Well you know what Brooks… if that's how you really feel…" I began to say causing her to jump from my outburst in a calm tone "Then fine wish granted! I didn't want to be your tutor anyway," I exclaimed walking away without looking back. I didn't know why it hurt so much but, it did. I'm not going to let her insult me like that even though I should be used to this but, it's kind of our thing (kind of) … anyone else I wouldn't have cared… but, it was her… so it's a completely 100% different story.
Logan walks away leaving Ms. Bromwell and Zoey off guard from his outburst especially Zoey until her teacher Ms. Bromwell scolded her telling her that she needs him as her tutor if she wants to pass the Chemistry mid-term finals that's coming up in a couple of weeks.
Zoey's P.O.V.
As I watched Logan walking away who looked hurt from what I said … I couldn't help but, feel bad and a bit guilty. I mean what am I supposed to think that Logan the class jerk of PCA who sort of my friend is good at Chemistry. It's just hard to imagine that considering he's a C-D student from all our classes. I was deep into my thoughts that I couldn't get that image out of my head… he looked so hurt… and it's the first time I ever saw him hurt like that… that I didn't realize it until Ms. Bromwell snapped out of my thoughts before I can think any further.
"That wasn't very wise and not very nice. You need him if you're going to pass Chemistry Zoey," Ms. Bromwell scolded me.
I bowed my head "Is he really one of your best chemistry students?" I asked with a bit uneasy through my voice.
"Consistently and I'm very disappointed in you acting like this Zoey. Have you ever heard that saying to 'Never judge a book by it's cover'—" Ms. Bromwell stated causing me to slowly nod at this since my parents always tell me to never judge a person by how they look or where they come from "Because that's exactly what you're doing. I'm quite disappointed that you of all people would say such a thing to him. Now go after him before he changes his mind about tutoring you," she explained leaving me a puzzled by the last minute but, when I was about to speak that's when Chase was passing us waving at me while I waved at him back in return with a smile.
"Ms. Bromwell, hey Zoey," Chase greeted us.
"That hair can't be natural it's impossible," Ms. Bromwell commented.
I reconsidered what my teacher told me knowing deep down she's right "You're right … Ms. Bromwell if I want to pass this class then… I'll do it…" she drifted off with a determined look on my face "I'll go ask Logan see if I can change his mind to tutor me thank you for reconsidering him as my tutor," she whispered.
"You're welcome Zoey now go before you lose him" Ms. Bromwell told me giving me a slight push heading to Logan's direction where he walked away causing me to run after him while Ms. Bromwell headed back to class since most teachers were leaving to go home at least for the weekend anyway.
"Logan! Logan!" I called after him; I ran after Logan even though he's probably gone but, I kept going until I found him a few feet away from me.
Logan's P.O.V.
"Logan! Logan!" I heard her call out my name, so I didn't bother to slow down. I just didn't want to face her since I already knew what she was going to say but, I felt her grab my arm to turn me around "Logan wait a second!" she told me where she made a frustration huffed where I turned around to face her.
"What! You weren't done insulting me or better yet calling me an idiot again! Isn't that you wanted Brooks since you don't want me as your tutor so let me make this easier for you wish granted!" I demanded being the class jerk that I was which was the only way I knew I had to mask it; it's pretty much my wall and I hate it to be this way but, I knew it wouldn't make much of a different so why try it now right?
"Look I'm sorry okay I mean you're like a C and D student and I didn't expect you to be—" Zoey began to say.
"Smart?" I interrupted her then added the sarcastic tone "Or maybe you're just mad that you weren't expecting me of all people to tutor you," I asked. I couldn't help but ask that.
"No that wasn't what I was about to say but—" Zoey began to say as she pinches her noise in annoyance then took a deep breath to calm herself down "I didn't know you were actually good at chemistry," she explained.
"Not a lot of people knows this about me," I told her looking away crossing my arms across my chest.
'Yes, I liked Zoey always have but, there's one problem though. I knew she hated me, so I just masked my feelings the only way I knew how by being a jerk. I never plan to tell her or anyone else for that matter. Although it killed me that everything she did drove me crazy and when I hurt her it always sends me a shock of guilt and hurt thru me. I hate it but, there's nothing I could do,' I thought to myself deep into my thoughts until she spoke up again that left me to snap out of my thoughts.
"Well how are you so good at it then?" Zoey asked.
"My grandfather is a chemistry professor in CALTECH and I would always stay with him in the summer as a kid," I sighed and told her the truth.
"So, he taught you?" Zoey asked all confuse.
"Against my will, I was physically trained in an early childhood and now I'm stuck with chemistry smarts, it's so gross," I began to say as I ran my fingers thru my hair turning away from her and kept talking "Not a lot of people know this and you better swear it stays between us Brooks … it's the only memory I have with my mom before she died…I guess I was only doing it to honor her memory or something…" I explained; I wasn't sure where that came from but, I made sure to put my mask wall, so she wouldn't notice.
"I—I-I didn't know I'm sorry," Zoey told me in a soft tone.
