Chapter Summary: Maddie and London are enrolled in high school, and Zack and Cody are very excited.
!#$&()+
You'd think expulsion and a harsh grounding would have dampened Maddie Fitzpatrick's spirits, but she was all but devastated, as she swaggered through the Tipton lobby, about to assume her post at the Candy Counter.
London noticed that she was all smiles, and Zack and Cody were a bit confused, too.
"You certainly are happpy about our getting expelled," London said with squinted eyes. Zack and Cody were shocked.
"You guys got expelled? For what?" Cody asked, gasping with every word.
"We totally beat the crap out of these two girls," Maddie said, with a smirk and a laugh. Zack and Cody's mouths fell open.
"I must ask," Zack began, throwning his hands up.
"No. No clothes were ripped off during the fight," Maddie informed him, rolling her eyes. Zack snapped his fingers in defeat.
"Why did you get into a fight?" Cody asked, obviously the more level-headed out of the twins.
"Well, this new girl that used to go to St. Martha's, that we've always hated, decided she was gonna get in our faces and insult us. She said something about London that completely crossed the line, so London totally whooped up on her, and this girl's friend decided she was gonna try and take me on, so I got into it too," Maddie said, proudly.
"What did this girl say about London?" Cody asked, rather hung up on that one subject.
"I'd rather not repeat it," London replied quietly and bitterly. Both girls still had battle scars.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you, sweet thang," Zack said slyly, scooting up to Maddie.
"Aw. I would let you, but it might worsen my condition. Don't wanna add nausea," Maddie teased him, which caused Zack to sulk.
"Why are you so happy about going to public high school?" London asked Maddie, who was already thinking about what she'd wear on her first day.
"Just think of it, London! No more plaid," Maddie said in a dreamy voice. London's face lit up.
"Yay! What other perks are there?" London inquired, suddenly on board with the idea.
"There's more boys," Maddie responded, in a very girly voice, and London loved that thought too. Zack and Cody, however, scowled.
"What school is this, anyway?" Cody questioned them, crossing his arms.
"Belleview High," Maddie sighed, obviously letting the thought of it all sink in. Zack and Cody glanced at each other with matching shocked looks.
"That's our school!" They exclaimed, in unison.
"Hey, cool. Guess we'll see you guys around," Maddie said, not really paying attention to them.
"When do you guys start?" Zack asked.
"Tomorrow," London told him, before going back to daydreaming about a plaid-free school that was packed with guys.
"Right...well, see ya," Zack said suspiciously fast, dragging Cody up to their suite on the 23rd floor.
"Looks like we'll be spending a lot of time around Maddie and London," Zack told his twin, who played dumb.
"So?" Cody replied in an annoyed voice.
"Well, I dunno about you, but once Maddie sees how popular I am, she'll be all over me," Zack said in a suave tone, receiving an odd look from his brother.
"Popular? You got thrown in a dumpster yesterday," Cody chuckled, reminiscing.
"Well, maybe we can set a plan in motion. I will get Maddie to fall for me, and you can have London," Zack said, rubbing his hands together like an evil genius. Cody spluttered for a few seconds.
"I-I don't like L-London. Where would you get that from?" Cody stuttered, avoiding Zack's eyes.
"You talk in your sleep, and evidently, you dream about London a lot," Zack said with a chuckle. Cody still denied it. In fact, he didn't cease, that evening, to remind Zack that he didn't like London. Even at times when Zack said nothing to provoke him. At dinner, it was Zack's turn to clear the table, but when he asked for Cody's plate, Cody responded with:
"I do not like her. London is just a friend."
'Yeah, sure,' Zack thought. As amused as he was with his brother's actions, he had many other things on his mind. He still had to come up with a way to make Maddie like him. As to be expected, he had a pretty sleepless night ahead of him.
A/N: Hehe, silly Zack. I love making fun of him, 'cause I love him. Anyways, next chapter will be up soon. I promise xD Love ya! Ciao!
