Zack's POV:

I knock on her door and no one answers. I know she isn't in bed. There's no way. It's not even seven yet. I knock over and over and over and I hear a yell from the room. "What?"

"Maddie it's me. Open the door."

"No!"

"Please?"

"No!"

"I'll tell you who I am!"

The door opens and she yanks me by the arm, pulling me inside the room. "Good you better tell me who you are!"

Holy she's mad. Crap.

I swallow hard and sit on her bed. "Well let's just say, you do know me."

"Cut with the crap. What's your name?" She studies me really hard and I laugh nervously before giving up. "Fine. I'm Zack."

"I'm not kidding. Who are you?"

"I'm Zack! I swear!"

She rolls her eyes. Oh yeah real mature."

"Okay ask me anything about your life, or your friends."

She thinks for a minute before answering. "Alright, How old was I when I first started working at the Tipton?"

"15." I answer and she looks a little disgusted.

"Who did I meet first? London or Zack and Cody?"

"London."

She gets frusterated but asks another question. "How much of an age difference is there for Zack and I?"

"3 and a half years."

"What floor did I live on at the Tipton?"

"You didn't live at the Tipton. You lived in an apartment with your mom and dad who were always constantly fighting, and your annoying brother Liam, who you call booger. My mom was more of a mom to you then your real one, you've always been the greatest singer, you used to babysit Cody and I when our mom was doing her show. She sang in the lounge every night by the way." I take another breath to continue but she stops me and stares into my eyes. "Zack? Is that really you?"

"It sure is." I smile and think of one more word. "Sweet Thang."

The smile on her face grows wider and wider as she crushes me into a tight hug. "I can't believe it's you!"

She looks me over and I can feel my whole body start to get warm.

"It just doesn't look like you. I mean, you're taller then me now." She laughs and I join her.

"And I'm hotter then ever." I wink which makes her chuckle and roll her eyes. "Whatever you say."

"Where's Cody?"

"He's down this hall."

"Oh good." She smiles. "We've all managed to get into university with each other. Although, it's weird how you made it."

"I was motivated."

She smiles sweetly at me again. "Well good."

We just stop and continuously stare into each other's eyes, not worrying about anything else. I could swear that Maddie's face was getting closer to mine but it's too late to tell now.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Maddie and I both jump and turn our heads to the closed door.

"I'll get it." Maddie volunteers and I just stand there, watching her.

I feel disappointment grow inside me as I stare at the guest at the door. It's some light brown haired guy that stands about six foot. "Hey Maddie!" He pulls her into a hug and kisses her on the cheek. I try not to scowl.

"Hey Jared! Whatcha up to?" Jealousy grows in the pit of my stomach as I watch her face light up.

"Not much. Just wanted to stop by." He looks at me and greets me. "Hey."

"Hi." I say, trying to not let my annoyance of his presence show.

"Jared this is Zack, my friend from Boston." Maddie tells him and he starts to smile. "Oh that's right. The Zack you always talk about."

Her eyes grow wide with shock and she hits him breifly, causing him to correct himself. "Uh, the Zack you've mentioned once."

I get a little interested and want the conversation to continue, however, I know that Maddie wants it to end. I wonder why she's been acting weird on the topic of me. It's not like she likes me or anything.

"Anyway." She starts. "Are they hosting any sort of party tonight or something?"

"Um." He thinks for a minute. "Yep! Rick said it was at nine tonight." He laughs. "He's hosting it."

"Oh my gosh, this should be special." She rolls her eyes and faces me. "The last party he hosted, twelve people got arrested, four of which were charged from having weed and twenty-six people passed out."

I get a little worried for not my sake but for Maddie's.

"Are you gunna go Zack?" She asks.

"If you are."

"Well why not." She smiles and turns to Jared. "We'll be there." He smiles back. "Great! See you at nine then!" He turns and walks down the hall.

I can't help but ask. "Are you and Jared going out or something?"

"No of course not silly." She giggles and pokes me in the chest. "We're just good friends. Like you and I are."

Yeah. Just friends...
