Description: this is a story that I'm currently in the midst of writing. Its a C/Z/L triangle and my first love triangle at that. It just came to me one night in my sleep. I figured that i would put it up and see if it attracted attention from anyone. You know what to do, R&R. Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.

Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101, but if i did there would be more conflict and love triangles.

Authors note: is only my fourth Zoey 101 story, so I'm still kinda new at writing these. Please let me know what you think, I'd love to know. )

Chapter #2

( hour or so later. Chase's pov)

" and your absolutely sure that you want to go to the dance as my date?", asks Zoey uncertainly as she looks up at me. This is the third time that she's asked me this so far. Why wouldn't i want to take her to the dance? She's beautiful. Any guy would be lucky to walk in with her on his arm.

" I'm positive Zoe, now quit asking me that already.", i reassure as i give her a gentle poke. We both laugh as i do so. And i can't help but notice how adorable she looks. Its hard not to fall even more in love with Zoey. Even though i don't want to because i know that in the long run, I'll only end up hurt.

" great, then its settled. And when the dance becomes boring? We'll just catch a movie. Just the two of us. Who knows Chase, maybe I'll even give you a goodnight kiss.", teases Zoey with a playful nudge. My ears perk up at this. A goodnight kiss? From Zoey? Oh man, I've only prayed for that ever since i first laid eyes on her. This could be my chance to win her over.

" a goodnight kiss Zoe? Are you serious? Really?", i stutter almost too excitedly. Michael and i both exchange glances. And i know what he's thinking. Because I'm thinking the same thing. My date with Zoey tomorrow would be the perfect chance to make my move. If i could only get her alone under the moonlight, everything would be perfect.

Chuckling at me as i sit up with interest, Zoey pushes at my chest lightly. Leaning back against me, she fiddles with my hand," i don't know, maybe. We'll have to wait and see. ...Can best friends kiss?"

" last time i checked? That would be no.", comments Logan with a roll of his eyes. I hate him right now. He had to open his mouth. If Zoey changes her mind, I'll murder him in his sleep tonight. I swear that i will. he's only mad because Zoey decided to go to the dance with me instead. Well he can just get over it. Because he's not going to ruin what would be my one chance with Zoey.

" well, no. but, but they could though.", i point out in a desperate attempt to easy zoey's mind. And i think it may have worked. Now as long as Michael doesn't open his mouth? I should be in the clear. Thats the last thing that i need. For these two idiots to go and ruin things for me.

" you really think so Chase?", questions Zoey after thinking things over. Yes, of course i do! I would do anything for a kiss with you. I've only wanted to kiss you since the first day that we ever met. And everybody knows this except you. Why can't you see how much i want to be with you Zoe? Is that so much to ask?

" i remember when Lola and i kissed. Things were awkward between the two of us for quite a while afterwards.", confides Michael as an after thought. My eyes widen in shock as i now glare over at him filled with anger. He just had to bring that up. The stupid jerk that he is! Great, so long kiss with Zoey now for sure.

Biting at her bottom lip, Zoey shifts around in my arms. Glancing up at me, she touches my chest lightly," i don't think i could stand the thought of awkwardness between us. Your my best friend after all Chase. Who would i talk to about it? I wouldn't be able to go to you. I think maybe Michael has a point."

" yeah, i guess Zoe.", i grumble with disappointment. So long goodnight kiss with the girl of my dreams. He had to open his mouth. He had to bring that up didn't he? If he would have just kept his mouth shut, everything would have been fine. But no, he just had to go and open his mouth and say something stupid.

" cool, well i should probably go Chase. I'll see you tomorrow.", confides Zoey as she stands to leave. Getting up with her, i walk her to the door. I stand stock still as she leans up to kiss me. Her lips press against the corner of my mouth. Thats about as close as I'll probably ever come to a real kiss with Zoey. ...

(Logan's pov)

" i hate you both.", growls Chase in anger when zoey's out of sight. Oh no, Chase is mad! Not that, anything but that! Please, like I'm really supposed to be scared of him? That will be the day. Its his own fault. Zoey would have gone to the dance with me if he hadn't opened up his mouth. Then i would be the one to give her a goodnight kiss. If i can't kiss her why the hell should he be able to?

" hey, what did i do?", asks Michael innocently. I laugh as Chase lunges a pillow at his head. Oh man, this is too funny. Chase looks like he is about to kill Michael. This is priceless. I wonder if i should mention the guy thats been hanging around Zoey lately? I'll bet he'll flip his top when he finds out.

" Zoey would have given me a goodnight kiss, but you morons went and ruined it!", yells Chase with irritation. Your damn right i ruined it for you. Why the hell should you get to kiss her if i can't? How is that fair? Oh, thats right. Its not! So take that Chase! Two can play this game.

" well it serves you right. I should have been zoey's date, not you. And i would be if you didn't open your mouth.", i complain with a frown. And she would have. She asked me when Chase turned her now. And i said yes. Why would i turn down a chance to be close to Zoey after all? I'd have to be a moron. But then Chase went and ruined everything for me. The damn jerk he is.

Grabbing his night clothes, Chase heads for the bathroom. Changing into his boxers, he brushes his teeth and heads for bed," whatever man. I'm going to bed."

" face facts Chase. Zoey is hot. Guys are bound to notice her eventually. Hell, i know that i have. And girls like Zoey aren't single for long dude.", i point out as though it weren't already obvious. And its the truth. She won't stay single forever. One day zoey's going to be asked out and have a boyfriend thats not Chase if he doesn't hurry up and make a move already. Hell, i may even ask her out just to piss him off.

" Logan's right man. I've even seen Zoey hanging out with this guy Eric more then a few times.", confides Michael as he grabs himself a blix. Uh oh. Not smart Michael. You had to mention that to him? Chase is going to flip his lid for sure now! You can't tell Chase that Zoey's been hanging around other guys! What is he stupid?

" what, you mean that new kid?", questions Chase as he now sits up with interest. I watch as a look of panic appears on his face. Not cool. Now we're going to have to listen to him rant and rave for the next hour or so. When Zoey chose to go to the dance with that Glen guy last year instead of him. He would not shut up about it. I wanted to kick his ass.

" yeah, every time i see the two of them...he has his arm around her. You should probably make your move and quickly.", advices Michael matter-of-factly. And he really should. I don't like this Eric guy. He's always putting his hands all over her whenever they hangout. And Zoey doesn't even slap him away or care. But if i did, she's whale me one.

" alright, alright. I get it. I'm going to tomorrow night man. Its the perfect time to. With luck I'll be zoey's first kiss.", mutter chase mostly to himself. So thats his big plan? He's going to kiss Zoey tomorrow night? This should be fun to watch. Especially if Zoey's not expecting it. I think i just may have to go to the dance and see how badly Chase makes a fool out of himself.
