Month 2:
Admire her from slightly less afar
Cody's POV:
Day 1:
Ever since the incident yesterday with Frank, I couldn't sleep at night. I kept thinking about what Bailey said to me about her old boyfriend Moose coming. But the most thing I was scared of was what Frank said. At first I thought he was just joking about me never seeing Bailey ever again, but I got this note in my cabin this morning:
Hey Dork,
You know what, I thought about what I said yesterday one the sky deck.
And now I'm really sure. You will NEVER see Bailey after what you guys did to me.
But hey, I'm willing to compromise. How about you come to the sky deck tonight at 8:00 Sharp, and will fight this thing off.
-Frank the man.
P.S. You might want to have someone close by to run you to the hospital...And not Bailey...
When I finished reading It, I just tossed it away. I already asked Kirby, the boats body-guard, to take care of Frank. So I didn't need to worry about any fight with him.
I was going to leave for lunch, when I tripped over a book. It was my Sixth Month Plan. The first thought that popped in my head was what Zack said a couple days ago when he saw me crying over Bailey.
"Wow. Giving up right away! No wonder the girls don't like you!"
I wasn't going to give up now.
"Month two, here we come!"
Bailey's POV:
"Is it true Bailey? You pushed a guy down to the floor?" London asked me as we sat down for lunch.
"Yeah, not that big of a deal though." I said.
"You don't seem to happy that you won?" She asked me again with a confused face. London was always full of questions, mostly because she didn't know too much.
"I know I won, but I still feel really bad about what I did to Frank. It's not like me to just go off and fight like that." I explained. London still had a confused face on her. I sighed and continued to eat. Across the sky deck was where Zack, Cody and Woody were sitting. They were having their own little chat also, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
"So Woody, the mexican buffet is tonight. You gonna do your famous fart?" Zack asked Woody smiling.
"Oh yeah!" Woody said with a huge grin. Cody just looked super disgusted.
"Guys, can we please not talk about farting while were having lunch." Cody said to the two other guys.
"Ok, then lets talk about something else." Woody said.
"Ooh, like you and Bailey!" Zack said giving Cody a teasing grin.
"Yeah, I heard you both fought off Frank on the sky deck yesterday. That's impressive. Even for you Cody!" Woody said, giving Cody the same grin Zack did.
"I guess you guys can give me credit for something I didn't do, cause Bailey did all the work." Cody told them.
"More on the topic of Bailey. Cody are you going to finish your plan, or have you decided to quit once and for all?" Zack asked. Cody sighed and said,
"I thought about what you said to me when I was crying over Bailey-"
"Wait you were crying!" Woody said in surprise.
"Yeah I know, I couldn't believe it either" Zack said.
"Anyway... I thought about it, and I'm not going to be a quitter." Cody finished.
"So your going on with your plan right?" Woody asked.
"Didn't I just say, I'M NOT GOING TO BE A QUITTER!" Cody repeated, this time a little louder.
"Geez, Codster. A little loud there" Zack said to his brother.
"Hey, let's go to London's table, I'm bored here" Woody suggested.
"Sure..." Zack replied. They left Cody all by himself.
London and Bailey's Table
Still Bailey's POV:
Across the sky deck, I saw Cody sitting there all alone, he looked sad. "Guys, I'm gonna go over there" I told Woody, Zack, and London pointing over at the Juice Bar, even though I was actually going to Cody. They all just nodded.
"Hey." I said softly to Cody from behind.
"Hi" He said back, but didn't even look up at me. I sat down next to him. "I don't feel like talking." Cody said.
"Can I just please say one thing?" I asked him.
"What?" Cody said.
"If you ever need some one to help you with a problem, just come to me." I left the table.
Cody's POV:
"Bailey wait!" I called to her. But it was too late. Man, this Six Month plan is stupid. It's not going to work.
Day 2:
Still Cody's POV:
I've been thinking about what Bailey had said to me during lunch. I know she wants me to talk to her about my problems but I can't tell her about my plan. The only person I could turn to was Zack. I never really come to Zack for advice because he dons't know anything. But when it comes to love, he's got in the bag.
Zack's Cabin:
"Zack, I need your advice" I called to him on the other side of his cabin door. The door flung open. Zack was wearing pajamas and he had a cheesy mustache. "I'm busy Cody." Zack told me.
"Eating, and playing Zombie Quest on your laptop isn't something I'd call busy" I told my brother.
"Fine, I guess Zombie Quest can wait. Even though I finally made it to level nine!"
"Thank you." I said stepping into his messy room. "Man you really need a roomate" I told Zack. He stared at me blankly.
"Now young Codster, whats your problem now?" Zack asked me.
"First of all, don't call me that. And Second, your face is annoying me, wash it off already."
"Ignoring that" Zack said. "What brings you to my advice again?"
"How do you get girls to fall in love with you right away?" I asked.
"Oh that? You sometimes it just happens and sometimes it's just charm."
"Well how come its not working for me?" I said.
"I said you have to have charm Cody. I never said you had it" Zack said.
"Wow, you really know how to make a guy feel better." I said sarcastically .
Bailey's POV:
London and Bailey's Cabin:
"So Bailey" London began.
"Yeah?" I answered. We were each sitting on our beds doing our homework, well I was.
"What is the whole story of you and Frank anyway. Everyone is saying you two have something going on." London asked me.
"Well, at first I kind of liked him, but then he was getting so annoying." I explained to a very clueless London.
"Does he still like you?"
"Yeah..." I looked down at my textbook.
"You don't look to happy?"
"I'm not." I continued to stare at my textbook.
"Come one Bailey. I know I never really care about your problems, but I need something to do while I wait for my nails to dry." London said blowing on her freshly painted pink finger nails. I looked up at london.
"Cody's been feeling down lately and it's making me sad. He won't tell me anything."
"So do you like him or something?" She asked me. My eyes widened.
"I never said that!"
"I know, but I just assumed..." London said.
Zack's POV:
After my chat with Cody in my cabin, I went to start my shift at the juice bar. I forgot I was still wearing my pajamas, so I walked to the sky deck still in them. On the sky deck, I ran into London. She had a confused look on her face, more confused than usual. "Hey London!" I called to her. "What's up?" I asked.
"Bailey." London said.
"Huh?"
"Oh, Bailey just been down lately because Cody is. Weird Huh?"
"Do you even know why Cody's sad?" I asked London.
"No. Do you?"
"You don't know? I thought everyone did." I said.
"Well hurry up and tell me!"
"He has this Six month Plan to make Bailey fall in love with him, and so far its not going great."
"Cody's in love with Bailey?" London asked.
"Yeah. You didn't know that?"
"Hello! I don't interfere with peoples love life!" London said.
"Well, your gonna have to, cause your helping me get those to nerdy freaks together." Zack said he dragged London away to his cabin.
Cody's POV:
Tonight there was no body on the sky deck, but I still had hundreds of towles to pick up that were left everywhere. It was going to take a long time. I sat down on one of the chairs just to take a little break. After just a few seconds of sitting down, I heard footsteps behind me. I recognized them right away. "Need some help?" A soft voice said.
"Huh?" I turned around to face the person. Bailey!?
"That looks like a lot of work." Bailey said.
"Yup." I said back.
"I could help you if you want?" Bailey asked.
"But then..." I began. "Yeah, that would be great" I said.
Zack's POV:
"Okay are you ready?" I said to London from behind the juice bar counter. She nodded her head.
"Wait, what are we doing again?" She asked me. I shook my head.
"Getting those two to admit their feelings for each other. Remeber?"
"Ohhh.' London said. They step out from behind the counter.
"Hey Cody!" Zack said startling his brother.
"What do you want Zack?" Cody asked me.
"Well, me and London were over there just wondering, Isn't Bailey a great friend?" I said. Cody looked confused.
"Yeah..." Cody said.
"Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be 'more than friends' with someone?" I winked at London for her que.
"Yeah Bailey, Isn't Cody a nice guy?" London said.
"He sure is!" Bailey said with a huge smile.
"This is not working." I whispered to London.
"Told you!" London whisperd back.
"No you didn't" I whispered.
"Guys whats going on?" Cody asked.
"Nothing!" Me and London said at the exact same time, then ran off.
Bailey's POV:
"Well that was super odd." I said to Cody. I picked up a towel from the ground and handed it to Cody. "Come on Cody, give me a smile" I said to him. He tried to force a small one to me. "Come on, you can do better." I tickled the side of his stomach which made him giggled. "Stop that!" Cody yelled.
"See I can make you laugh." I told him.
"Yeah... Lets finish cleaning." Cody said.
We started at one end of the sky deck and began picking uo towles there. Then we moved a little ways and started picking up more towles. For the past couple minutes, I was picking up towels and handing them to Cody. Even though it was work, I had a lot of fun doing it with Cody. After we were finished, my stomach had a really wierd feeling inside.
