Why Can't I Like Him
By: punkprincess96
I'm Dana Cruz. I came to PCA when I was 13 going on 14. The first people I met were Zoey Brooks and Nicole Bristow. Zoey is a little Miss Perfect who can't stand to do something wrong. She's an okay kind of friend, and she's a fun person but she acts like my mother sometimes. Nicole is a screamy little girl who won't stop being annoying until you threaten to kill her. The biggest memory I have of PCA before I left to France was the basketball game. Yes, the basketball game. Well, I can explain that in a couple of sentences. So, Logan, being him... was all 'I'm better than you in everything in every way' at Zoey, and little miss perfect can't stand someone being better at her in one thing, or just couldn't stand to see some boy talk about being better at basketball because she was a girl. Either way, she got her game. They were losing, da da da... I decided to help them out. Big mistake. I ended up friends with them. Well, it's not so bad... they're the only ones who would talk to me in PCA. So I'm not the friend type... blame me. yeah, blame everything on me. Just like always. No one would believe me. Ugh, I'm going to tell you why I left to France.
FLASH BACK
I walked down the hall, humming a song to my MP3.
"...And I couldn't help but play against him." I heard Zoey say from inside room 101. Sounds familiar. I can almost... -Oh, NO!
I burst into the room, and saw Zoey reading outloud my diary to the entire group; Chase, Nicole, Logan, Michael, Quinn, and Dustin.
"Oh my god, you guys! What the hell! Who told you that you guys can read my diary?" I scowl at the gang.
"Dana, it's not... it's not-"
"WHAT?! JUST TALK NORMALLY AND NOT LIKE A FREAK, NICOLE!" I inturrupt Nicole.
Nicole shuts her mouth, automaticly afriad of me.
"Dana, we're sorry." Zoey and Chase said in unison. I
roll my eyes, and frown in my style.
"Can you just be a normal person? You told Nicole to be normal, okay. But why don't you stop acting all screw-you and tough, because you're not." Chase growls at me.
I'm kind of scared. The entire year that I've known him, he's never been mad except at Logan or Michael, but they're his room mates. Wait, I'd better say something. People might think that I, Dana Cruz, have actually run out of words to put in a snappy sentence.
"I am normal. Your huge, freakish freakin' crush on Zoey isn't!" I manage to accidently slip out. I look around. Did I just actally talk outloud? Did I actually just say the thing that Chase has been avoiding and hiding all year? No, tell me I did not. The silence is kind of killing us all.
"What?" Zoey breaks the silence with a dry, hushed up whisper. I hear almost everyone's thoughts.
"What's going on?" I hear. I can sense that it's Dustin. he'll never understand what's going on.
"This is going to go all wrong, people!" Quinn mutters in her thoughts.
"Can we just end this?!" Chase shouts in his thoughts.
"I don't get it, Chase." I sense Zoey say to herself. "I just don't get it. Why did Dana say that?" Endless conversation running through my mind, even though I have no right to listen. Every word I hear between Chase and Zoey are like pins, and I am the ballons.
"I don't think us should be in here..." Michael tells everyone outloud. Finally, a voice. Wait, there's one person who hasn't said anything at all. Logan.
"Actually, Michael. The correct term is 'we'. Us wouldn't be the right words for that sentence. I actually found that out when I was 0.5 se-"
"Quinn!" everyone but confused, little Dustin shouted. Quinn sat down on the floor, nervously.
"So?" Zoey asks, waiting for an answer within Chase. Chase shuffled his shoe into the carpet.
"I love you, Zoey. But I never could reach for the words until now." Chase muttered, but no one heard him correct. I thought he said 'I eat poo, Zoey. But I never could grow wheat for birds until now', which can't be right because that makes no sense. Zoey cupped her hand to her ear.
"Say it right or don't say it at all, Chase." Zoey said, totally unlike her. Chase shrugged, and sighed. He held his hand over his mouth, and walked out of the room, silently.
"Damn, Brooks." I cuss before chasing after Chase. Logan follows after me and Chase.
