Ch 5

Cody's POV

Zack, Kaila, Jax, and I were walking down the hall of school after the weekend we just had. Thank god it was the end of the day! It was a little creepy meeting at first but Zack and I are good friends, he just refuses to come over to my house. We all stopped at our lockers before class. Kaila and Zack switched their lockers so they were next to Jax and mine's. I heard the voice of Derek and jumped but he wasn't by me; so I looked over and he had mistaken Zack for me.

"Derek no," Kaila screeched. "That is Zack, Cody is over there." She said pointing at me.

"Hey, Kaila what the hell did you do that for?" I yelled as Derek and his crew came over to me. Derek grabbed the back of my shirt up by my collar.

"Derek! You can't have Cody either!" Jax yelled.

"Says who?" Derek threw me over by Zack and Kaila. Jax backed up.

"Says…" Zack procrastinated, "um-" Kaila cut him off.

"-Says Ben!" She stepped aside and grabbed a fellow peer and threw him at Derek. Jax broke free and us four ran for it. Derek and his friends followed us.

REGULAR POV

They ran out the door of the school and through the yards about a quarter mile away from school they four teens arrived at the Tipton with Derek and Justis, Derek's right hand man, and his other friends, still chasing them. The got into the lobby and ran over to the candy counter where Maddie was working. Derek and company followed.

"Guys what are you doing?" Maddie asked confused.

"You know what Maddie is right! Zack and Jax you stay over here, Cody you follow me," Kaila said. She ran over the front desk and so did Cody. Mr. Mosbey was typing on his laptop. The two jumped on top of the desk and over to the back. Derek then came into the Tipton.

"Just wait here Cody," Kaila said to him.

"Wait a minute you two. What do you think you are doing?" Mr. Mosbey started yelling. "You two from the candy counter come here now!" Derek smiled.

"I don't know what you were thinking by disrupting my hotel but if it happens this badly again, the people in this group, excluding the ones who live here, will be banished from my lobby!" The four ran to the elevator with Derek and Justis coming after them, knowing that the only safe place would be one of their homes.

Derek was very close to them when the elevator came and Jax rapidly pressed the door-close button. They went up to the twenty-third floor and Zack wasn't to happy with it.
