The New Bffs
Maya's P.O.V.
Me and Bailey returned from getting my earring out of her and walked onto the sky deck. At the smoothie counter Mackenzie and Zack were talking, smiling, laughing. "Looks like they're getting along pretty well" Bailey said. "Yep it sure does" I replied with less enthusiasm. I was kind of jealous. What if Zack decided he liked Mackenzie more than me, and she said yes, then I'd never get to go out with him. I don't know, I thought to myself. I'm probably just overreacting. I mean Mackenzie knows we both like each other she wouldn't do something like that. But then again I don't her that well yet maybe she would. If so this was going to be a verry long year. "You guys find something to talk about while we were gone?" bailey asked. "Did you know that Mackenzie here is a pranker much like myself." Zack said grinning. "That'll make Mr. Moseby's day" I said joking around. "That's for sure. But I bet she's not as bad as Zack" bailey said. Then she turned to Mackenzie and asked "Do you do your homework?" "Of course. And by the way could you by chance show me the library?" Mackenzie asked Bailey. "Well there goes us having everything in common." Zack said. "Of course, come right this way" Bailey said and they headed off. "So how do you like her so far?" Zack asked. "She seems really fun but I don't know her that well yet." I said being honest. "yea, she seems pretty cool and my shifts finally over wanna do something?" Zack asked me. "Umm sure do you wanna go for a walk it feels pretty good outside." I said. "Sounds great" he said and held out his hand to escort me. I laughed and hooked my arm in his.
Zack's P.O.V
It felt so good Maya's arm linked in mine. "So where do you wanna walk?" I asked. She unhooked her arm from mine. "I don't know anywhere." She said. "Well that narrows things down" I said and smiled at her. She smiled back. "So Mackenzie's a prankster?" She asked. "That's what I hear, and I've already got a prank I need her help with." I said. "Oh cool" Maya said sounding disappointed. "Did I say something?" I asked. "No why?" "Well it seems like your sad" I said looking into her eyes. "Well, I'm not" She said. "Okay" I answered. We walked around the whole ship twice when I looked at the time. It was 6. "Wanna go grab some pizza?" I asked her pointing to the pizza parlor behind us. "Sure, I guess" she said and we walked in. I kept wondering to myself, is this a date? No I answered quickly. It couldn't be Maya wasn't interested in me like that though I wish she was. But then again, she did wanna go on a walk with me, and she didn't say no to grabbing something to eat. Plus, she did sound sad when I mentioned I was doing things with Mackenzie already. Maybe, she was starting to fall for me, overjoyed at even the thought. She was the first girl I had felt this way about and I really wanted to go out with her more than anything. "Ready to order?" Maya asked snapping me back to reality. "Yea" I said. "Alright well, I'm just gonna text Bailey, and Mackenzie and see if they want to join us." Maya said. "Okay" I answered disappointed.
Bailey's P.O.V.
After I had shown Mackenzie the aquarium, the library, and a couple of other things my cell vibrated. It was from Maya.
Maya: Hey me and Zack are grabbin pizza if u wanna join
"Hey Mackenzie, Maya wants to know if we wanted to join her and Zack for pizza" I said. "Umm I don't know if we should." Mackenzie said. "Why not do you not like Zack or Maya?" I asked concerned. "No no course not." She said. "I just happen to know though that Zack likes Maya and Maya kind of likes Zack so maybe them having some alone time would be a good thing." She finished. I thought about the idea. That was pretty smart thinking. I wondered why I couldn't though of something like that. "Smart thinking. I'll tell them we're stopping by the buffet." I said and grabbed my phone to text Maya back.
Bailey: Srry we r already n line 4 da buffa. He's all yours gitsum!
Maya: Haha shut it
Bailey: will do
"Alright then, let's head over to the buffet." I said leading her toward it. "Sounds good" she said. "So, do you really thing that Zack and Maya could hit it off?" I asked curious about the situation. "Oh I hope so; they'd look sooo cute together." Mackenzie said. "yea they would." I said picturing them. "The only reason she won't date him is that he's supposedly been a player and she doesn't wanna get hurt." Mackenzie said. "Yea that's what she told me too, but I can see why she would think that." I said. "You've known him for longer than I have so what do you think?" she asked me. "I think he's really in love this time, but we should probably have Maya talk to Cody. I mean he's his brother and has known him since he was born. He would probably have a pretty good judgment." I said cringing at the thought of Cody. "Ya I guess you're right and I hope you don't mind me asking but what happened to you two?" she asked. "Well, we dated for a year and on our one year anniversary we broke up on top of the Eiffel tower." I said stifling back tears. "Oh, I'm so sorry Bailey" She said. "No it's fine."
Maya's P.O.V.
I laughed at Bailey's get some comment. "What?" Zack asked. "OH nothing just something Bailey said" I answered. "Oh are they joining us for dinner?" he asked. "Nah they're eating at the buffet" I said. "That's cool" he said. "Yep" I said and replied back to Bailey. We ordered a medium cheese pizza and sat down at a table. "Well, this is nice." Zack said. "What?" I asked. "Having dinner with you alone kind of like a date?" he said smiling. "Zack, it's not a date just two friends having dinner, and if you call it a date again, you'll be eating alone. Okay?" I said doing a frustrated smile. "Yes ma'am!" Zack said and saluted me. "so what are you going to do now that Marcus is gone and you have the room to yourself?" I asked taking a bite. "I'm putting the beds together so I can sprawl" Zack said. "Nice idea" I said smiling. "To me it is" he said. I smiled and he smiled. I think we might have been having a moment but Cody spoiled it by pulling up a chair and taking a slice of pizza. "Thanks guys you won't believe the day I've had" Cody said. "What? Did your blankey get lost?" Zack asked in a baby voice. "NO! My blankey is in my back pocket but anyways Woody spilled his Mega Gulp Doctor pepper all over my Fractional calculator and now it won't turn on" He said frowning. "Oh no! Now you only have your other 55 hundred calculators to be a nerd with." Zack said. "You're too kind Zack" Cody said. "I'm sorry for your loss Cody." I said trying not to laugh. "Why Thankyou Maya, unlike you Zack, Maya understands the value of the calculator." Cody said. "If you understand the value of your life you'll shut up about your stupid calculator!" Zack said. "Well fine then I'll go express my feelings to Henry Yu." Cody said and walked away.
Mackenzie's P.O.V.
At 7:45ish Zack and Maya walked back onto the deck. They waved at us and started walking over. "Wonder how their date went" Bailey whisper-giggled. "I don't know but I am going to find out" I said. "Hey guys" Zack called and leaned on Baileys chair. "Hey, how was pizza?" Bailey asked. "Good" Maya said and smiled right at us. "That's good" I said. "Alright Ladies I'm gonna head out and meet Woody" Zack said. "Night Zack" we all said. "Night girls, Maya" he said and walked off into the night. "Awww!" me and bailey said at the same time. "Be quiet!" Maya said. "How was your date?" Bailey asked. "It wasn't a date and it was fine I guess nothing happened." Maya said. "Well, me and Bailey talked and we think we have an answer to you debate over Zack." I said. "What? Line every girl on this boat up and see who he chooses?" Maya asked sarcastically. "No" Bailey said and rolled her eyes kiddingly. "Ask Cody" I said. "Why?" Maya asked. "Because, Cody has known Zack for 16 years. He knows if Zack is serious about you or not." Bailey said. "Fine, I guess I'll talk to him" Maya said and trudged off toward his room. "Can I come hang in your room Bailey?" I asked her. "Course!" Bailey said and we headed off too. When we got their London was doing her nails. "Hey Bailey, hey Mackenzie, you know that's a long name can I call you Kenzie, or Kenz, Or Mack possibly?" London asked. "Sure, you can call me Kenz." I said. "Ooh I like that I think I'll call you that too!" Bailey said. "Could you pass me the sparkly pink nail polish Kenz?" London asked and I passed it to her. "Sparkly" London said as soon as she got it.
Maya's P.O.V.
I Knocked on Cody's door. "Hey Maya" he said when he answered it. He already had on his plaid pajama pants and a white shirt. "Hey sorry to bother you but can I come in?" I asked. "Sure, what's up?" he asked and closed the door behind us. "It's about Zack" I said. "I see" he answered. "Well, I don't know if I like him and I was wondering if you could help. I've heard from everyone that he's a player and well I like him and would go out with him but the only problem is I don't wanna be his one week fling. I don't want him to cheat on me or find another girl and break my heart the next day" I said honestly. "Trust me I know. I'm guessing you're coming to me to ask me what I think right?" "Right" I answered. "Well, I know Zack was a player but since you came along he really has changed. Completely. I see the way he stares at you. It's like you're the only girl on this planet. He actually told me he was in love with you. He's never said that before. I really do think he has changed, but I don't know if it's for good. He's a great guy that would never intend to hurt you in any way at all. If you take my word for it he won't dump you. You have to make you own decision though Maya, listen to your heart. That's the best advice I can give you." "Thanks Cody you've really helped." I said and started for the door. "Anytime Maya and don't worry I won't mention this to Zack." "thanks and bye" I said and headed to Bailey's room to get Mackenzie.
Mackenzie's P.O.V.
"So what are you going to do?" I asked Maya after she explained what had happened with Cody and we were sitting in our room in our Pj's. "I don't know. I'm not going to go out with him just yet but soon I will. I think." Maya said. "It looks like you're still confused." I said to her. "I am Kenz. I really am." She said. Oh btw my new nickname had spread already. "Well, how bout you just sleep on it tonight, Okay?" I said. "Sounds good. Night Kenz." "night May" I said and she flicked the lights off.
12 days later…
Zack's P.O.V.
Over the past week me and Mackenzie had become like best friends. We pranked Moseby together, had pizza eating contests everything. She was sooo cool and different from everyone else. Like today she was wearing ripped jeans and under the holes were fishnet tights. She had on an oversized sweater and a gold hoop necklace on top. While we were sitting we saw Moseby sit down at a table near the back writing something in a red notebook. "Let's go see what Moseby's up to" Kenz said and I followed. "Hey Mr. Moseby" I said. He snapped the notebook shut and put it in the middle of his stack of books. "What do you want?" he asked. "What were you writin there?" Kenz asked. "Just stuff work stuff." He said and walked away. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking Kenz?" I asked. "Moseby's got a diary!" She said. "Bingo!" I said. "Let's see where he puts it." Kenz said and we started to follow him. He went behind his desk and began feverishly. We went to the outside deck and tried to look at him through the porthole that's right behind his desk. "I can't reach it" Kenz said. "Neither can I" I said. "Let me get on your back" Kenz said and I let her hop on. "Can you see anything?" I asked. "Yea he's still writing, we need to get him to stop." She said. "Alright, just let me get out my handy dandy cell phone and make a complaint." I said. I called the Lobby and Moseby picked up. "Marian Moseby speaking" he said. "Hello Marian I would like to report a rat in our room please come at once" I said in the deepest voice I could. "what room sir?" he asked. "Um 227" I said. "Alright sir I'm on my way" Moseby said. I hung up my phone. "Alright, he put it under the desk…" Mackenzie started. "Hey guys" Maya said and me and Mackenzie both fell down startled. "Now's not the time to talk Maya." I said. "OH" Maya said and walked away. "Nice goin Romeo" Mackenzie said. "what'd I do?" I asked. "You just told the girl you liked that basically she couldn't hang out with us." Mackenzie said. "I'll talk to her later." I said. "We need to get that diary." We went in the Lobby and had it in a couple of seconds. "Alright were should we go to read?" I said. "How bout the library?" Mackenzie suggested. "Sure, it wouldn't hurt to find out were that is." I said with a grin and we walked away.
Maya's P.O.V.
MY eyes stung with tears. Zack was such a jerk and still a player. I Couldn't believe I had fallen for him. He had never changed. Now that Mackenzie had come he was always around her and no duh he liked her. She was beautiful, smart, and liked to play pranks. All the things Zack wanted. It didn't matter though. I went up to Bailey's room. Me, Bailey, and London were deciding on dresses for the Christmas/Hanukah, Kwanza dance tomorrow. I walked past the library on the way there after getting a smoothie and saw Zack and Mackenzie huddled over a book laughing. When has Zack ever read? I asked myself. I hurried up to Bailey's room. After we chose my outfit I headed back down to the sky deck. Zack and Mackenzie saw me and headed over. "You'll never believe what we just read Maya!" Zack said excitedly. "I'm sorry Zack but now is not the time to talk" I said mad and started to walk away. Zack turned me around. "Maya I'm sorry about that it's just that…" "It's just that what Zack you wanted alone time With Mackenzie. You never changed Zack you're still the player you were when I came on this ship." I said and sprinted away. A couple seconds later Mackenzie approached me. "Nothing happened between me and Zack I promise." She said and put her arm around me. "I don't like him like that and he still likes you. He talks about you all the time. The only reason we were together is that we stole Moseby's diary. It had all sorts of things in it like he has a secret crush on Mrs. T, and that he actually likes Zack deep down. Come one me and Zack have to show you." Mackenzie said and pulled me up. "That's all that happened?" I asked. "That's it." Mackenzie said. "I believe you Kenz." I said and hugged her. "Just for the future Maya. I'm not a hugger." Kenz said and I laughed.
Mackenzie's P.O.V
We walked back to the sky deck and saw Zack sitting in talking to Woody. "Just a sec woodster. I need to clear some things up." Zack said and walked over to Maya. "Look Maya, I'm sorry to hurt you I didn't me to and nothings going on between me and Mackenzie I swear. There's only one girl on this ship that I like and she still hasn't said yes yet." Zack said. "It's okay" Maya said and they hugged. "And maybe I can make it up to you by this" Zack said and pulled out two tickets to the dance. "that helps. But what would help even more is if I saw Mr. Moseby's diary." Maya said smiling. "Will do Mackenzie show it to her." Zack said to me. "Umm Zack you have the diary." I said. "No I don't you do" he said. "Oh crap" I said. "We left it in the library" He finished. "Alright let's make this intresting." Maya said. "The person who gets the diary first gets to make the other put it back alone." Maya said and pulled out her phone to record it. "I can accept the challenge." Zack said. "So can I" I said and me and Zack spit shook. "On your marks get set gooo!" Woody shouted and we started to run. Good thing I had worn my chucks today so I could run. I Got slightly ahead when Zack jumped on my back. "Gosh Zack! Get off" I said tumbling to the ground and laughing. Just then Mr. Moseby opened his office door. Zack leaned up against the side and I waved from the floor. "Do I want to know?" Mr. Moseby asked. "Not exactly" We answered. "Alright" Mr. Moseby said and walked by. Zack got ready to run again and me still on the floor pulled his leg out from under him. "and stay down!" I yelled getting up. In the end I won because right when he was about to grab the book I yelled, "Oh Maya's checkin you out!" "where?" he asked and I snatched the book. Plus, when he tried to put the book back a couple hours later Mr. Moseby caught him and he landed himself a detention!
