Hey! Thank you for reading and Sticking through! Edith and I have come up with some great new idea's for the upcoming chapter, some that we think you just may like, sit back and enjoy the chapter!

The next day came along, and Cody was sitting in his room, thinking about what he could do to prove to Bailey that he was the one who gave her the flowers and card. And then it clicked. He went rummaging through his drawers until he found it, the receipt to the flowers and the card. He grabbed his cell-phone and started texting.

Bay,

Cody

He waited on his bed until his phone beeped again. He opened it, and read the text.

Cody,

Smitties. Y?
Bay.

He pressed the reply button.

Bay,
I need 2 c u.
Cody

He sent it, and waited until the next one came.

Cody.
Come by if u want.
Bay

He ran out of the room as fast as he could with the receipt in his hands. The Smitties was on the lower deck, so he had a long way to go. He ran along the Deck, but didn't see his brother coming out of his room. At full speed, he ran into Zack. As he fell backwards, he placed his hand underneath his body, but in the process, opened his palm and letting go of the piece of paper, and letting it fall off the edge of the boat. "NOOOOO!" He screamed. "I hate you Zack!"

"Wait, what did I do?" Zack asked as he stood up. "I was just going to talk to Maddie,"

"Sorry..." he grumbled, and walked off.

Meanwhile, Zack walked through the hallways until he got to his classroom. Inside, he saw Maddie working on her computer.

"Hey sweet thang." he said as he entered. Maddie looked up and smiled.

"Awww, how much I missed that." she cooded, and stood up. "How much I missed you." she walked over to him and gave him a hug. "So, hows my best friend been for the last three years?"

"Great, great." he said. "Haha, I am finally looking down at you." he said. It was true. He was 6', and she was only 5'7.

"You say that like it's a bad thing." she giggles, and walked back to her desk. "So... Now your in grade 12."

"You bet!" he said happily. "Last year of grade school... and it's off to the UBC. I am going to study to be a marine biologist." he told her.

"That is so great" she told him.

"And I also want to be a phys-ed teacher." he said. "That is my back-up plan."

"That is so cool. God, have you ever changed." she said. "May I ask about London, and why she is still in school? I thought she graduated last year?"

"No actually. In order to make it into a good collage, she needs to take one more year of grade school." Zack said.

"Wait, London wants to go to school for another year?" she asked. "London Tipton?"

"Yes. We have all really put our acts together, and we realized that we need a future. And if our attitudes kept up like this, then that wouldn't happen." he said.

"Awww... Zacky." she sighed. "You really are growing up." she ran over to him and hugged him again. "And what about a girlfriend?"

"Well... I thought I found my princess, and then I realized that she really was my princess, and then... I realized that she has an arranged marriage next month." he told her sadly.

"Aw Zack." she said. "You really liked her, didn't you?"

"I did!" he told her. "A lot. But now I can't!"

"Well, if you want my advise. Go see if she wants a second chance. Sneak her out. Give her the time of her life and show her about what freedom can be like." she said.

"I guess you are right." he said. "But she seems happy with the guy."

"Well, do what you feel is right, but I have to get back to my room." she said, grabbing her stuff. "So I guess I will see you around,"

"You bet!" he said, and leaned down, placing a kiss on her cheek. "I have always wanted to be able to do that." he smiled at her, and walked out.

...........

Cody was sitting alone on a bench, looking out at the clear stary sky. He placed his head in his hands, and saw a shooting star.

"I wish I could see Bailey, and be able to tell her how I feel." he wished to himself, and placed his head down again. Soon, he heard footsteps approaching.

"Cody?" Bailey asked. She took a seat beside him. "Are you okay? I didn't see you today. I thought you were coming by the resturant?"

"I was going to, but then my point was thrown overboard." he said sadly. She lightly giggled.

"What was your point?" she asked. Cody looked sad, and the started talking.

"I went there to tell you that-"

"Bailey?" I guy asked.

"Hey Collin." she said, standing up and running over to him. "What's up?"

"Nothing much. Why were you talking to that retard?" he asked.

"Ummm." she bit her lip, looking back and forth at the two boys. "I don't know."

"Well come on, and Stay away from my girl." he yelled back. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her into him.

Okay, so Edith and I have AMAZING plans for the rest of this story! So I hope you enjoyed, thank you for the reviews, and keep reading!
