It was 08:00 pm in the middle of the sea timeline, and Zack Martin was about to end his shift on Easy Squeezy smoothie bar. As he washed the last cup, he looked at his twin brother, Cody, which still had like a dozen more towels to fold.
Zack smiled in relief. At least Cody was now over Bailey, so he won't wet the towels with his bucket of tears. Zack was quite confused, because why should Cody cries for a girl when he still have billions on girls in the whole world waiting for him?
Zack was also really grateful that now Cody and Bailey have stopped bickering to each other. Even though Cody and Bailey were dating or not, Zack always thought that they were annoying. Suddenly, Zack spotted Bailey came from the stairs, and as she sat on one of the beach chairs, she opened her biology book and read it.
Zack in sudden got a crazy idea for both Cody and Bailey, which he thought would be so fun and made him a lot of money.
"Hey Cody!" called Zack from the smoothie bar softly so Bailey won't hear him. Even though Zack's call was almost like a whisper, Cody obviously can hear him. Cody put the towel he was folding on top of the shelf and walked over to Zack.
"What's up, Zack?" asked Cody as he sat on one of the stools of the smoothie bar. "You see Bailey there?" asked Zack as he pointed to Bailey. Cody looked over to where Zack was pointing. "Yeah, it's Bailey. What's with that?" replied Cody.
Zack grinned widely and put his arm around Cody's shoulder. "I bet that she's not over you yet," said Zack. Cody raised an eyebrow and stared at Zack suspiciously. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"Let's make a bet. If you woo her and she falls for you again, give me 30 bucks in 3 days since it works," stated Zack. Cody pulled out from Zack and showed him a confuse look.
"Are you out of your mind? She's a human and you want me to play with her feelings?" said Cody in disbelief. "Oh, so you're not over her yet, huh? What you told us about 'over' Bailey is a lie?" teased Zack as he raised his hands for air quotes.
"But Zack, I can't…"
"Come on, bro! It's just for fun!" exclaimed Zack. Cody looked over at Bailey that was also putting her eyes on him. She smiled at him for a while before continuing reading her book.
"But I can't get 30 bucks in 3 days!" uttered Cody. "Dude, seriously. Try to get another job to make money for me, if you lost the bet," said Zack.
Cody took a deep breath before finally saying, "Okay, you're on." Zack grinned widely and took out his hand for Cody to shake. "That's my bro. Oh, and now that I don't have any glasses to wash, my shift is officially over, so, see you tomorrow!" exclaimed Zack as he threw his apron and jumped joyfully from the smoothie bar. Cody only shook his head as he watched Zack ran back to his cabin. As he continued to fold the towels, he glanced at Bailey for a few time while thinking of a way to woo her back, just to win that stupid bet.
Cody hoped that he was making a right decision for himself and for Bailey, because after all, he didn't want to hurt Bailey or himself.
"Now, how to get those 30 bucks," he muttered under his breath.
