A/N: If you didn't pick up on it in Chapter 1, This is Zack's POV, The italics are his thoughts. Please R&R, No flames please!!
"I'm telling you, I don't know where you put your Basketball!" Cody said, aggravated, continuing our argument from this morning.
"You were the last one to see it! You put it away after we re-enacted the part of the championship game when you actually played!" I retorted bitterly.
"I did not!" He said rolling his eyes.
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Well maybe that basketball hit you harder than you think!"
"Zack, I did not lose your Basketball!"
"Did t-" I broke off. The bus had slowed to an absolute stand-still. The doors creaked open and the people outside boarded the bus. Tapeworm was on first, followed by Max. They walked down the aisle and sat down next to Tapeworm across from Cody and me.
"What wrong with you?" Cody said, bugged by my sudden silence. "For the last two weeks, you've been freezing up whenever we reach Tapeworm's stop. Are you ok Zack?"
"I'm fine." I said, shaking my head and breaking the trance.
"Hey Cody, Hey Zack," Tapeworm said, waving as they sat down. "Some homework last night, huh Zack?"
"Yeah." I muttered feebly.
"Oh how would you know? Its not like you DID it…" Cody sighed. "You were too busy playing 'Mega Zombie 3: Revenge of Giant Zombie Monsters of Doom'" Cody stated, rolling his eyes again.
"I had to try the new Destructor-Chip Upgrade!" I fired back.
"Cody, Zack's just keeping his priorities in order." Max laughed, her eyes gleaming.
"Yeah!" I said, turning to Max. "Thank you!" I said quickly, before turning back to Cody.
"Whatever…" Cody muttered.
"Thank you!" couldn't you have said something just a little cooler? I nagged myself. And then we spent the rest of the bus ride in silence.
