I entered the revolving door of the Tipton, just coming home from a normal Wednesday at school. I had my backpack on securely, it becoming heavier with finals, which are only 2 weeks away now. I've let my mind slip with all my relationship problems, I haven't been studying that hard. I've got Triganomitry,and Physics down, I just need to buckle down on French, English Lit. and African Studies. I already did really well on my SAT'S, but I need to good on my finals, so I can obtain my A average. I put my backpack behind the candy counter, and got out my Complete Works of William Shakespeare book out for English Lit. again. I lucked out, because William Shakespeare is what our final is on, and I already know lots about him. As I was reading Othello, I glanced up at the calendar hanging on the wall. I looked at it, to see May 19th circle in green marker, and it said "Zack's B-day" in his writing. Then it clicked into my head that today was May 19th. I saw Zack with Cody and his red-headed friend Bob doing some skateboard trick, and then Zack came up to the candy counter.
"Hey Maddie! Can I have 2 Snickers bars?" he asked, and then he smiled his goofy grin.
"Sure!" I said eagerly, and grabbed the 2 brown wrapped bars from one of the shelves.
"How much will it be Maddie?" Zack asked pulling out a wad of cash from his pocket.
"It's on the house. Happy birthday!" I told him, and he blushed a bright red. I came out behind the candy counter and gave him a big hug. He hugged back, and seeming to enjoy it.
"How has your day been so far?" I asked him, and he looked at me with impressive eye contact.
"It's been great! Bob, Max, Agnes, and Warren decorated me and Cody's lockers with confetti and balloons!" he shouted like he was a 5 year old who just went trick or treating.
"That sounds awesome! Too bad I didn't get to see it!" I said, happy that Zack was content.
"Hey Maddie? I'm having a birthday party on Saturday, and I want you to come," he told me with a serious look on his face. "London's going to be there too, so you, or anyone will be bored." he finished, and I giggled.
"Sounds cool! Where and what time?" I asked, and he grinned knowing I accepted his invitation.
"Just come up to my suite at 2:00. See you later!" he said, and went back to Cody and Bob. Right as Zack left, London came up to the counter.
"Maddie! Ivana absolutely LOVED those biscottis!" She said with excitment.
"Woooo..." I said wish sarcasm.
"Hey, I was wondering, did you want to come up to my suite and get some mani pedis in Nail World of my closet?" She asked, her question sounding odd.
"Yeah! Let me just ask Mr. Moseby if I can get off early.." I said, but she had already slammed the "Closed" template on the counter.
"I'll take the blame if we get in trouble." She said, and grinned. I like how London and I were spending lots of time together. We went up into the elevator, and it was extremely quiet. I hummed to "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5 to let the time pass. The elevator doors opened, and we entered London's suite. We walked into the closet, mesmorised by all the stores inside it. Even though I've been in here before, I always get impressed by the closet mall. We took the escalator to the second floor, as I was stilling humming "Wake Up Call." I watched as we walked passed all the stores; Lipstick Land, Eyeshadow Emporium, Shoe Saloon; and Nail World. we walked inside the store, and London pressed a red button on the wall. Seconds later, 2 butlers came in, with a exausted looks on their face.
"Mani Pedi?" One of them asked with meloncholy.
"Mani Pedi! Also for Maddie." London enthusiastically said, and clapped her hands together. We walked into the 2 massage chairs, and waited for the butler to get ready.
"Ugh, my nails look totally groody." London told me, and showed me her nails which looked perfectly fine.
"Look at mine." I said, and proved it to her by show her my nails which has chipped orange nail polish on them.
"EW!!!!!!!" She shouted, and I gave a giggle, even though she was being serious.
"Jeeves, do Maddie's mani pedi.. She's having a nail emergency." She said, and looked at my nails in disgust again.
"He's the better manicurist out of the 2!" she giggled.
"What color would you like, Miss Madeline?" The butler asked.
"Can I have an electric blue?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"You got it!" He said, and grabbed a pretty neon blue from the nail polish rack. He turned the foot jacuzzi on, and I just sat back and relaxed by reading Seventeen.
"So I want to hear the rest of your boy issues." London randomly said as the other butler was massaging her heels.
"Well...I broke up with him, and he took it pretty hard, and that's about it." I said, and she gave me a weird look.
"Don't give me that. You have your eye on someone." She said, and I grimaced.
"I don't like anyone! It's too soon for that." I tried to admit to myself, but she didn't looked convinced.
"Who is it?" She asked, ignoring my last response.
"Well...I geuss there is one guy. I care about him a lot, like a brother, but sometimes I think the things I do for him are more than just friendly love..."
"Like what?" She asked, actually interested.
"I got him this guitar for his birthday. It's not' just a regular guitar, it's signed by the Plain White T's!" I gushed, and then got really quiet.
"That sounds like friendly love, but like a bff friendly love." She commented as the butler was putting on a baby pink nail polish on her big toe.
"Sometimes I feel like its more, like he sends shivers down my spine." I admitted, and blushed the color of London's nail polish.
"Aw! Maddie has a crush on...what's his name?" She inquired. I couldn't obviously use his real name, because she would figure it out, so I have to come up with a name on the spot.
"Dylan! His name is Dylan, and I do not have a crush on him!"
"Well, I hope you and Dylan get together, even if you don't realize you like him!" She said, and flipped open her phone to read a text.
"Thanks." I sighed, her not listening to me. I'm actually wondering if I like Zack, but the scary thing is, I actually might.
A/n: Z is for Zaddie! LOL. Sorry this was kind of a filler chapter. I'm kind of mad that TSL doesn't really have Maddie in it anymore, because then there can't be any Zaddie moments! I mean she is the "addie" in Zaddie. LOL. I hope you all have a wonderful New Years!
