Sarah sighed at her desk. She had almost fallen asleep five times.

"What's up?" Kryslin asked, sitting down at her desk.

Sarah sighed, "Nothing," she said.

"Ohmigosh! Did you see it last night!" A high voice said.

"Totally! It really sucks that it'll end next week," Another voice said.

"Where'd you come to that conclusion?" The first voice asked.

"I know these things! I heard they'll be looking for new pairs when this ends so they'll have a season to get them together," Voice number 2 said.

"Populars," Kryslin muttered. Sarah nodded in agreement.

"I heard this rumor that they'll come here in Boston to look!" Voice 1 said.

"As if," Voice 2 said.

Kryslin made motions like she was gagging and dying. Sarah rolled her eyes. Kryslin's act went a bit too far... literally. She tipped over and fell off her seat.

Zack and Cody walked in at that minute. Zack froze when he saw Sarah.

Sarah rolled her eyes, but then smiled. Maybe I can have fun with this. She flipped her hair and smiled at Zack.

"Sarah! Help me up!" Kryslin said. Her foot was caught in the back of the seat, she was on the ground, and her heavy bookbag was on top of her chest.

Sarah gasped, "Are you alright?" she asked. She helped her up.

"I'm fine," Kryslin said, putting her bookbag back down on the desk.

Sarah nodded. Zack walked up to Sarah and tried to be normal... for him at least.

"He-llo Sarah. Funny seeing you here... At school..." Zack said, realizing he sounded like an idiot.

"Yeah, it is...odd," she said, trying not to laugh.

"Umm... Hi," Zack said, trying to change the subject... And not doing a very good job of it and making himself sound stupider.

"Hey," she said. Zack grinned.

Kryslin walked up to Cody. "Get him out of that before he makes himself look stupider than he is... if that's possible," She said.

"Hey!" Zack said indignantly.

"Hey, I've seen your grades mister D-Point-Average!" Kryslin said.

"...D+!" Zack said.

"That too bad...I like smart guys," Sarah said, smiling at Kryslin.

"I said plus!!" Zack said quickly. Kryslin held back a laugh.

"Yeah, D plus. I like...B plus guys...maybe even A..." Sarah said.

"Actually, see, you can't tell anyone, but Cody's the dumb one," Zack said in a hushed tone, "I just swap papers and grades and stuff with him to keep him from crying his eyeballs out."

"Uh huh, yeah, what's 12 times 12?" she asked. Cody gasped.

"Um..." Zack said. Kryslin giggled.

"It's... What's that Bob? You want help on a history problem? I'm comin' buddy!" Zack said, calling out to Bob, who hadn't said a thing. Zack ran to the other side of the room.

"He's so stupid..." Kryslin said, shaking her head pitifully.

Sarah laughed and nodded. Cody rolled his eyes and followed Zack. Kryslin started laughing.

"If Zack didn't try so hard, I would give him a chance," she said.

"OH! That's mean!" Kryslin laughed.

"What? I like guys that don't come on to me like that," she said.

"He's making a fool of himself... for you! I, on the other hand have my education to worry about before guys," Kryslin said. She was determined to get into Harvard.

"Well, so do I. I am on the honor roll too you know," she said.

"True, but I was there first," Kryslin grinned, "Besides, what guy would like me?"

"Cody?" she asked.

Kryslin looked at Sarah with a 'get real' expression.

"Well, you both take grades crazier than anyone, and you both want to get to Harvard," she pointed out.

"So? That's not a reason to... forget it," Kryslin rolled her eyes.

Cody walked over to Zack. "Dude! Maybe if you don't try, Sarah will ask you out! She sounds like she really likes you!" he said.

Zack stared. "She likes me?" He asked, stunned.

Cody nodded and grinned.

"Why didn't anyone tell me??"

"Because no one knew!"

"Then how do you know?"

"Because I'm the smart one...and I overheard her talking to Kryslin."

Zack gasped and stared at Cody in mock disbelief. "You were spying on Kryslin??" He asked.

"No! I was walking by and I evesdropped on her!" he said, hoping Zack wouldn't know what it meant.

"You were spying!" Zack accused, pointing a finger at Cody.

"No I wasn't!" he exclaimed.

"Yes you were!"

"No I didn't! Don't you care that Sarah actually likes you?" he asked.

"Of course I do!" Zack said.

"So, don't be a jerk, and just be nice!" Cody said.

"I'm not being a jerk!" Zack said.

"Just, relax, and be nice," he said.

"I was being nice! I said hi, didn't I??"

"Just, don't try to be smooth. Act like she's Max," he said.

Zack wrinkled his nose. "But I don't like Max, and I'll bet Sarah doesn't like basketball."

Cody slapped his head. "I just mean, be her friend," Cody said.

"Oh, that I can do!" Zack grinned.

Cody grinned. Zack took a seat as the bell rang.

Sarah sat next to Zack and started writing down her homework.

Zack tried to look like he was paying attention to the teacher, but kept glancing at Sarah.

Sarah, unlike Zack, was actually paying attention. Kryslin saw Zack and tried not to laugh.

She, Sarah and Cody were taking notes on almost everything the teacher said. Cody threw a wad of paper at the back of Zack's head.

Zack turned, surprised. Throwing paper was his job, not Cody's. Cody's job was to be the dork, and to do Zack's homework for him.

Cody mimed taking notes. Zack stared at Cody as if he was crazy.

Cody sighed, "Take notes," he whispered.

"I got that," Zack said, "Are you nuts??"

"Sarah is," he whispered, pointing to Sarah.

Zack instantly bent over his paper and started copying Cody's notes.

Cody rolled his eyes. Sarah saw Zack and rolled her eyes. Zack noticed Sarah's eye-rolling.

Aw MAN! She just hates me or something! Zack thought.

However, after she rolled her eyes, she smiled and blushed quite a bit.

Zack didn't see it, as he had turned back to ignoring the teacher.

Sarah sighed and stopped taking notes. Kryslin looked at Sarah weirdly.

Sarah gave Kryslin a 'what?' look.

You okay? Kryslin mouthed.

Sarah nodded. Kryslin shrugged and went back to listening.

Sarah listened and took a little more notes before the bell rang. Kryslin and Zack got up. Zack glanced over at Sarah before walking out. Sarah grinned at Zack.

Kryslin giggled. "Sarah and Zack, sittin in a tree," She muttered, only loud enough for someone right next to her to hear, and that one person was Cody.

Cody sprung up. "What?" he asked.

"Nothing!" Kryslin said quickly.

Cody stood up, "She likes him?" he asked.

"Maaaaaybe," Kryslin said innocently, as if she had no clue.

Cody stared at her, trying to break her down.

"You're brother's got a crush on my best friend, okay, do you see something wrong with this picture, especially when she likes him back?" Kryslin asked.

"Huh?" Cody asked. "What's wrong with it?" he asked.

"I dunno, it's just a little weird," Kryslin said.

"Well, if they both like each other, we just need Sarah to admit it!" he exclaimed

"Pul-ease, it's Sarah, she'd rather eat dirt than admit that she likes Zack," Kryslin said.

"You think?" he asked.

"I know," Kryslin said.

Cody sighed.

Kryslin got up and headed out of the class.
