Chapter 7

I woke up, in a tangled mess of the sheets, I hardly slept that night. I was constantly awoken by the images of Zack and Serena.

I rang the first person I could think of.

Cody.

"Hello" he asked

"Hey, Cody have you spoken to Zack recently?" I asked

"He's blanked me all evening and all of today, he won't talk to me" Cody said

"Is he talking to anyone?" I asked

"I don't know. He wasn't in any lessons today, neither was Serena. I saw them both at the smoothie bar at lunch but as soon as they saw me, they walked away" Cody explained

"So you have no idea what's happened?" I asked

"No what?" Cody asked desperation in his voice

"Serena was jealous that I was going out with Zack, so she's told Zack that I kissed you" I said

"WHAT" he yelled

"I know, I know. It's ridiculous but Zack believes her" I said

"Why?" He asked

"I don't know" I muttered

We were silent for a few moments before he spoke up

"I didn't think he could stand her…He hates her really…So why would he listen to her over you?" He asked

"I don't know but I want to find out" I replied "she was blackmailing me, hense I left. I assume this was her attempt to stop him coming back to me...And by turning him against you it eliminates you being able to convince him" I say

"She's smart" Cody said

"But your smarter, you have to help me think of something" I said I could almost hear his brain thinking

"Ok...Well...You're London Tipton, can't you just throw her off the boat?" He asked

"She knows that I was the one Portias boyfriend cheated on her with, if I kick her off the boat, she'll spread around the rumours...I can't have that playing on my reputation" I explained

"Damn" he said

"Besides Portia Is just as rich as me, but people love her more because she is more of a people person...I could be if I wasn't on that stupid boat 99% of the time" I said

"London...Everyone makes mistakes" he said

"I know but if it get out...I don't want to know what would happen...Daddy would disown me, that's for sure because no way would he allow such a traitor in his bloodline..." I explained

"Can't you hire associates to check out her life story? She's bound to have done something equally bad..." Cody trailed off

"Would it keep her mouth shut?" I asked

"If we can find sufficient evidence that she's not alway been honest then it's highly probable that we can use that to justify any accusations she make towards you, hereby gaining you popularity, and making her seem like the bad one" he said

"What" I replied

"If we find proof that she lies, use it to blackmail her, then if she spreads te rumours about you, you spread the rumour about her, and as the rumour is that we can't trust her, people won't believe her" Cody said I smiled

"Brilliant, I'll set my best men on it" I said smirking. I said my goodbyes to Cody and I hung up, quickly ringing up Geoffrey.

"Hey G, I have a new mission for you" I said down the phone smirking.

One I had finished the phone call, I changed out of my pyjamas, grabbed my purse and went shopping.
