Chapter 1

Zoey's alarm went off with a loud buzz. She groaned and hit the snooze button.

"Zoey? Come on, Zoey. Get up," her roommate, Nicole said.

Zoey groaned again. Nicole pulled the covers off her.

"Nicole! What are you doing?" Zoey asked, pulling the covers over her head.

"I don't know what's wrong, but you can't mope around here all day. It's Wednesday. Which means, we have class to get to," Nicole told her.

"Now come on! Get up!"

Zoey threw herself out of bed and stumbled on the ground.

"Are you happy now?" Zoey said, pushing herself up off the ground.

"Yes. Thank you," Nicole said, walking towards her bed. She sat down, crossed her arms and stared at Zoey.

"What?" Zoey said, sitting on her bed.

"Hurry up. We've got to go!" Nicole said, gesturing to the clock.

"Well, I'll go change then," Zoey told her, grabbing a pair of jeans and a blue and purple t-shirt. She walked over to the bathroom and opened the door with a sigh. 3 minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom.

"You're officially the slowest dresser I know!" Nicole cried.

Zoey scoffed and smiled.

"Are you ready, Nicole?" Zoey asked sarcastically.

Nicole scoffed and stood up.

"Yeah, I am. Let's go!" Nicole said, opening the door. She gestured for Zoey to go first. She smiled and walked out. They walked to the outside of PCA and sat at the fountain.

"Hey guys!" said a familiar voice.

Zoey looked up and saw Chase walking towards them.

"Hey, Chase," Zoey said.

He sat down beside them.

"What's up?" he asked.

Zoey and Nicole shrugged.

"Cool, I guess. But I've got something interesting to share," he told them.

"Spill," Zoey told him.

"Ok. Well my long time friend talked to her parents, and they've decided that she can come to PCA!" Chase explained.

"That's awesome, Chase!" Nicole cried.

"Wait a minute. She?" Zoey asked.

Chase nodded.

"Her name's Mariah and she's transferring here next week!" he told her.

Zoey faked a smile.

"Is that a problem?" Chase asked.

"Cause we're friends, right?"

Zoey nodded.

"Yeah. We're friends."

"Awesome. Anyways, I better go. I'll catch up with you guys later," he said, getting up and walking away.

"B-bye," Zoey stuttered.

Nicole looked at her.

"Is there something you feel like sharing, Zoey?" she asked her.

Zoey shook her head.

"I'll see you later. I'm not feeling well," she said, walking away.

She pushed open her dorm door, sat on her bed, and tried to hold back tears.
