Suite Life on Deck: Choppy Waters

Chapter Three: Bye Bye Maya

**Three Weeks after the Breakup**

"I haven't even talked to Maya since the breakup. I don't even know if I like her anymore." Zack lied to Cody, who was sitting on a stool sipping a smoothie on his break. Although Zack did not really LOVE her, he still liked her. "Well, At least you're over it." Cody said, sipping his smoothie. "Yeah, I guess." Zack muttered wiping his hands on a towel. "Hey guys." Woody said enthusiastically. "Hey Woodchuck!" Zack hollered, slapping Woody on the back lightly. He took a seat on one of the stools and ordered a smoothie from Zack. As the boys were talking, they heard the patter of high heel shoes getting louder and closer. "Hey guys did you hear!" London shouted skipping towards them. "Maya's leaving the ship!" She said excitedly. "B-Because of me?" Zack shouted, running off from the juice bar at once.

"Maya!" Zack shouted, seeing her in sight. "Please don't leave!" He screamed. "It's too late!" She said waving her tears away. "B-But, I think I... love you!" Zack yelled, stopping in front of her. "That's just it! You think! I can't take it anymore Zack. Goodbye." She said, picking up her bags walking away and off the ship to the docks. Zack sighed quietly, a lump in his throat. He stuck his hands in his pockets and slowly walked back, hunched over, to return to his friends.

"Why are you excited about Maya leaving, I thought you liked her?" Woody asked, finishing off his smoothie in record time. "No, she refused to help me with my new 'Yay Me' episode!" She said, crossing her arms. "Well, I for one am gonna miss her." Cody piped in. "Me too…" Bailey said, walking in sadly. "She was the only girl friend I had on the ship, besides London of course." She murmured.

Zack returned to his blender and took orders, as his friends watched him with sad faces. "I'm guessing it didn't go well?" Cody suggested. "Nope she's gone forever and I'll just have to get over her I guess." He said so quietly, it was almost a whisper. "Wow, you're not usually this upset; you really liked her didn't you?" Woody asked, putting one hand on Zack's shoulder. "Yes, and I didn't even get to tell her that I didn't cheat on her, I cheated on the test." Zack added. "Well, I could try and talk you her if you li-"Bailey began. "She left…" Zack finished. "Oh-Oh… I'm sorry I didn't reali-"She began. "It's fine." He said, rubbing his hands on his apron before taking it off and leaving. "I didn't mean to hit a nerve…" Bailey said apologetic. "I've never seen Zack like this, I'm actually very concerned." Cody admitted. "Oh just give him a diamond necklace it always makes me feel better." London shouted. Woody, Cody, and Bailey all rolled their eyes together, laughing slightly and her funny remark.
