A Zoey 101 Fanfiction
By Emily Wells
Chapter One
The gaze of a young man by the name of Chase Matthews fell upon the sunset view that he had in this dorm room, which he shared with two other guys, Logan Reese, and Chase's best friend, Michael Barret.
As the remainder of the sun was still visible, light shone in the room, illuminating Chase's face, showing an expression of sadness. Why would he be sad, when a beautiful sight lay before his eyes?
You see, the main reason he is sad, is because of one girl: Zoey Brooks. That is the name of the girl Chase is in love with. What could upset him about the girl he loves? Zoey is the girl who never received Chase's Message. The message contained a proclamation of love for Zoey. Why would he be upset about that, when he can just try to try again? He's upset because he fears he may never gather up enough courage to try to tell her again.
Now, his friend Michael continues to try to reassure him that he'll find the courage to tell her soon, and, along with that, he says he's sure Zoey loves Chase just as much as Chase loves her. Chase is never reassured enough, though, so he just shakes his head at his friend's confidence builder attempt.
"I should've just told her the first time I realized that I loved her," Chase muttered to himself quietly. He sighed, and rested his head in his hands.
Elsewhere on the PCA campus, in the dorm room numbered '101', a young girl stared out her window, staring at the same sunset Chase was staring at. The young girl was, in fact, Zoey Brooks, Chase's love interest.
As she stared at the sunset, she fiddled with her chain that held her key to her dorm room, which she shared with two other girls, Lola Martinez, a girl new to PCA, now friends with Zoey and the others, and Zoey's best friend Nicole Bristow.
At the moment, her thoughts were all based on one subject: What did the message say? When she refers to "the message", she's not talking about the message that Chase purposefully sent to her, proclaiming his love for her. She had no idea that that message even existed. She's actually talking about the message that Chase meant to send to Michael, but sent to Zoey instead, which had caused Chase to steal Zoey's TekMate and delete the message before she could read it.
Chase was caught with Zoey's TekMate, though, and that caused Zoey and him to get into a fight, because Chase wouldn't tell Zoey why he had taken her TekMate in the first place.
Things calmed down a little bit after the Gender Defenders things was over, though, and Zoey and Chase managed to get back to speaking to each other. When the episode of Gender Defenders was to premiere on TV, Chase was even going to tell Zoey what the message said, but, their friends pulled them to the lounge instead, so they wouldn't miss the show, before Chase could get the chance to tell Zoey what the message had said.
As Zoey thought of this, she remembered how her TekMate had broken. She reminded herself that she needed to talk to Quinn later about fixing it.
Sitting in the same dorm room as Chase, was a young man. His name was Logan Reese. Yes, that blonde-haired, brown-eyed conceited roommate that Chase and Michael both have to stand rooming with.
At the moment, Logan was sitting on the top bunk of the bunk bed in the dorm room, staring at Chase in curiosity. Chase can sit there at that window, just staring outside for hours at a time. How can he stand to do it? Logan wondered. In a way, he was sort of right. Chase would stare out the window for a long time. Logan exaggerated a bit on about the whole "hours at a time" thing with how long Chase stares out the window, though, so, that's one thing he was partially incorrect about.
Logan merely shrugged it off, though, and laid down, letting his gaze wander to the ceiling. Whenever he stared at the ceiling, he'd start to think about things, a lot of them having to do with himself. Some were about other things, like the fact that Michael and Lola hooked up, Nicole hooked up with some random guy that Logan didn't know, Quinn and Mark are together, Dustin and that Trisha girl are going out, and tons of other people are getting into relationships. Then, a bad thought, in Logan's opinion, popped into his head. Logan wasn't one of the many people getting into a relationship with someone. That worried Logan immensely. So much, that, when thought this, he sat up suddenly, and hit his head on the ceiling. "Ow…" he said, once he laid back down.
"Welcome to California, Ms. Cruz," A chauffer said to a young girl, about the age of Zoey, Chase, and the rest of the gang at PCA. The girl's name was Dana Cruz.
Dana shook her head at her driver. She had managed to hire for her trip to California. "I used to live here before, so, you should say 'Welcome back to California," she said.
Her chauffer merely smiled, and said, "Well, then, welcome back to California, Ms. Cruz."
Dana smiled, and nodded, then said, "I'm really glad to be back. I can't wait to see my friends at PCA again. They'll be so surprised to see me after I've been gone so long, and they'd never guess I'd suddenly decide to come see them, and actually go through with it."
Dana sighed, and let her gaze fall to the window, to the surroundings so familiar to her. She was, at the moment, on her way to PCA, being driven by her chauffer, of course. She'd time her surprise visit according to her plan she'd drawn up mentally on the plane ride to California.
You see, Dana was a student at PCA last year, and had made friends with Zoey, Nicole, Chase, Michael, Quinn, and Logan. She had a great time at PCA, and would've gone back, but, she got a chance to go to a boarding school in France. She went to the boarding school, and she and Zoey sent frequent letters to each other, Zoey sending letters from herself and Logan, and others who had written to her, which made Dana miss PCA. She especially missed all of her friends. That's why she planned this visit to PCA. To see her friends, and catch up on everything that's happened.
