Cody's POV

Cody Martin was looking at one of his good friends. Cody had liked Bailey Pickett for a very long time. Cody believed that Bailey was the most beautiful and intelligent girl that he'd ever met. He only wished he could get her to have feelings for him the way he had feelings for her. Unfortunately, so far, he'd had no luck. He'd been attempting to get her to fall in love with him for three months. She only saw him as a good friend. A study partner. A project partner. Nothing more. Unfortunately for him. Bailey looked over at Cody.

Bailey's POV

Bailey Pickett looked over at Cody Martin. Why was he looking at her like that? As if she was the only girl he saw right then. And more importantly, why on Earth did she like it? She should think it was creepy and weird, but she didn't want Cody to stop. And when he finally did, she was sad. She wanted him to look back at her and continue to look at her like that for as long as humanly possible. Wait a second. Was she actually having feelings, romantic feelings at that? For Cody Martin? For the longest time she'd only thought of him as her friend. Now she was pretty sure she liked him. She realized that she actually did have feelings for Cody. She also realized that if she did like Cody, she couldn't put off telling him. It would only torture her and she wanted to know if he liked her too. She opened her mouth to speak when suddenly…

General POV

"Bailey? Is that you?"

Bailey looked up and saw a face that was only familiar to her. She looked back at Cody and at that moment she didn't know whether she should be happy that the person who recognized was on the ship or disappointed that said person had ruined her moment. She looked back up.

"Moose? What….what are you doing here? On board again?" As Moose walked toward them, Bailey decided she was disappointed, especially considering what had happened last time he was on the ship.

"I decided that just because you said that you didn't want to leave the ship and come back to Kettlecorn, that doesn't mean that that's what you really want." Moose looked over and saw Cody. "Hey little feller. How's it going?"

"Uh…pretty good, Moose." Cody looked over at Bailey with a confused look. He couldn't imagine that she'd invite him, considering what decision he had asked her to make last time he'd been on board.

"Moose, I told you last time. We're over and I want to stay on the ship and experience all these adventures and opportunities that I can only experience on the ship." Bailey looked at Moose, quickly looked at Cody, then looked back at Moose.

Moose saw Bailey look at Cody. "Don't tell me that you like the little feller of here."

Bailey looked down, knowing that both Cody and Moose were looking at her. The only difference being Cody was looking at her in surprise and Moose looking at her in anger. Moose turned to Cody. "Look here little feller. Bailey will eventually realize that she belongs with me so you can just enjoy whatever fantasy you have because it won't last more than 2 weeks." Moose turned and walked away.

Bailey looked back up at that and yelled at his back, "Actually Moose, I don't belong with you! I just wish I'd realized two things earlier."

"Oh yeah? What's that?" Moose had turned around.

"One, that we are so wrong for each other. And two, that I like Cody!" Once Bailey processed what she had just said, she got quiet real fast. "Oops…"

"Um…Bailey? Is there something you want to tell me?" Cody walked right up to Bailey and looked right in her eyes.
