Chapter Seven
Zack and Cody stumble to a halt in front of the ballroom. There was a very small line of people in front of the auditions sign-up list. The last person being the teenage girl and the person in front of her is Danny. There are only three people in front of them.
Zack glares at the back of Danny's head. Cody walks up behind the teenage girl and stands stiff as a board. Zack rolls his eyes, and walks over to his brother.
"Hey." Zack calls. Danny and the girl both turn to face Zack. Zack inwardly groans, he didn't want to catch Danny's attention.
"Hi Zack, are you auditioning for the play?" Danny asks.
Zack bites back a sarcastic remark.
"Yes, well actually Cody is going to audition to." Zack pats Cody on the back.
When the teenage girl looks over at Cody, Cody's cheeks turn a light shade of pink.
"My name is Kate Summers." Kate holds out her hand to Cody.
Cody stares at her hand, as if he's mesmerized. Zack elbows him hard in the rib cage, and Cody hastily wraps his hand around Kate's.
"I'm Cody Martin, and this is my brother Zack Martin. Over there is Danny Andrews. You may have noticed that Zack and I look alike, we're twins! You can tell us apart by the little mole on my chin. You wanna see?" Cody says in one breath.
Zack slaps himself in the head. The last time Cody was this nervous around a girl was when a beauty pageant had been held at the Tipton. Zack had thought Cody had gotten over being nervous, apparently not.
Being polite, Kate looks at Cody's chin.
"Oh yes, I see it now…" Kate exclaims.
Zack turns to Danny, who's now at the table.
"So are you signing up to audition?" Zack asks Danny through clenched teeth.
"No, I'm signing Maddie and London up. My Uncles one of the judges, and I asked him if I could tag along." Danny says, holding out the pen for Zack.
Zack takes the pen, and Danny side-steps out of the way. Zack signs his name on the list, and pretends to be listening to Danny.
Zack taps Cody on the shoulder, and hands him the pen. Kate is laughing at something Cody said or did. Cody signs his name on the list and hands the pen to Kate, who signs her name on the list too.
"Remember guys, the auditions start the day after tomorrow, at 10:00 in the morning." Danny reminds them.
"I'll be sure to tell Maddie and London." Zack promises.
Zack pulls Cody away from Kate, and leads him into in to the lobby. Cody turns to wave good-bye to Kate, but Kate doesn't seem to notice since she's talking to Danny. Cody dejectedly follows Zack into an elevator. They ride the elevator up to their suite in silence.
