Location: Nicole Bristow's House, Kansas City, Kansas

-Nicole was mad at Zoey because she thought Zoey overreacted about Chase, but knowing Nicole, she couldn't stay mad at Zoey for longer than 5 minutes, so it didn't really matter anymore. The two friends stayed up all night talking about Ed, Nicole's new boyfriend whom she met while working at a clothing store-

"Thank you, Mr. Johnson"

"Oh, your welcome, Zoey".

"Nicole, why don't you help Zoey with her bags?" instructed Mr. Johnson.

"Whatever," mumbled Nicole

I could tell she was mad at me.

"Please, Nicole, I'm sorry."

"No, Zoey. Not this time. I'm not accepting your apology. You overreacted."

"Yeah, ugh" I said as I struggled to get my suitcase up the stairs "I know I overreacted, and I'm sorry". "I'm just upset about Chase".

Nicole looked at me and I knew by the look on her face that she felt sorry for me and had forgiven me.

"Okay, Zoey. I forgive you".

"Yeah, I know you can't stay mad at me for more than five minutes". I laughed.

"You're right. Now, let's get this suitcase into my room."

After a long struggle, the two girls got Zoey's stuff up the stairs and into Nicole's room.

"Nicole" I said when she first walked into the room, "It's beautiful…." I said in awe.

Nicole's room was painted a bright, but girly shade of pink. Her bed was place off to the side, on the left wall, and a light "baby pink" canopy was hanging down from the ceiling, and behind Nicole's bed, was the biggest bay window Zoey had ever seen. However, on the walls were pictures and merchandise of P.C.A., much like Zoey's room. On the same wall as her bed, there was a large pink couch. On the other side, there was Nicole's closet, which was of course, filled with all of Nicole's clothes, and Nicole's desk.

"Yeah, I love it; my mom decorated it when I was like four".

"What time is it, Nicole?"

"8:20, maybe we should go downstairs and get something to eat, because I'm really hungry"

"Yep, too bad we're not at P.C.A., I'm really craving a California Roll," I laughed.

"Don't worry, I've got s'mores. I know it's not a California Roll, but it does the trick, right?"

"Nope, but I'm hungry, so I'll eat anything" Zoey said in a sarcastic way.

"I'll be right back, you can change, Zo, I'll go get the s'mores ready, if you want".

"Yeah, I think I will change, bring lots of s'mores and some milk, please"

Nicole nodded.

When Nicole came back, Zoey was changed into her favourite pajamas, and sitting on the couch, reading the book that was assigned for the summer reading assignment.

"I'm back" Nicole said in her usual cheerful way.

"Awesome! I'm starving," Zoey said as she took the plate of s'mores from Nicole and put them onto the floor.

"Zoey, have I told you anything about Ed yet? He's the cutest guy ever!"

"No, but don't you want to wait until Quinn and Dana come?"

"Not really. Quinn's too absorbed in Mark to hear me gushing about guys, and Dana won't care".

"Wow, Nic, in the two weeks we've been apart, you've become a real observer," I said with a laugh.

"Not really. I've always been observant, I just never let it show," Nicole said, slightly embarrassed.

"Don't worry about it. So, tell me about Ed" I said (A/N: I didn't mean to make it rhyme).

"Well, I work at Rips and Tares, and one day he just walked in…."

"Wait," I interrupted "You, you, my best friend, Nicole Bristow works?" I said shocked.

"Yeah, I have to. I spent too much money on clothes and food last year; my parents are making me work". "….and he just smiled at me. I was totally shocked; I was like, OMG IS HE STARING AT ME? THAT'S THE CUTEST GUY I'VE EVER SEEN. HE'S EVEN HOTTER THAN LOGAN! I went to go serve him, 'cause that's my job, right? And, then, we got to talking, and he took me out for a smoothie at Smoothie Express during my break, and his blue eyes sparkled in the sun. It was amazing. Two days later, he asked me out, and so far, we've been going out for a week."

The whole night, the two girls stayed up and pigged out on s'mores, cookies and milk. To them, it felt like they never left P.C.A., and that they weren't on summer holidays. That night only made Nicole and Zoey grow closer. It also made Zoey feel really bad about putting off telling Nicole about the last conversation she had with Chase, but she felt like it was necessary. It had to be done that way.
