Chapter 07: Jealously
It's been a week since the kids had gotten their project. Dana and Michael were doing great, both happy because they knew they were gonna get A. Chase and Nichole were a different story; it was always Nichole bossing Chase around, she made him to all the dirty work. She then decided to change the doll's name to Steven because Samuel was a jerk to her and she hated that name now. Chase would get very frustrated with Nichole, since she is so bubbly but at the same time annoying, every time he was near her, he felt like pulling his bushy hair out. Also Chase didn't like how close Zoey and Logan were getting, maybe that what irritated him more.
Now Zoey and Logan had gotten closer as friends. She begun to trust him, they hung out, crack jokes, and they just had fun being around each other. They were at the beach enjoying the sun. Just to make sure they had the time all to themselves they left Isabella with Dana and Nichole. "Alright this is how you throw a football!" Shouted Logan and through the football towards Zoey. She caught it and was so happy she got it. "I GOT IT! YAY ME!" She shouted out and jumping up and down with the ball in her hand. Logan smiled at her 'She's so wonderful.'
He had to snap out of his of thoughts, "Now do what I did, and throw it!" Logan said and started to run to prepare to catch the ball. He had a feeling she would do it right, since she was good at everything. 'I hope I do it right! Please let me do it right.' Zoey prepare the ball and close her eyes and threw it. She then opens it when she heard Logan yelled, "Ow!" The ball hit Logan on the head and causes him to loose focus and feel on a rock at the beach, which made him bump his head hard. She then ran to Logan and bended down to where he was on the sand.
"I am so sorry! Are you okay? Logan?" She was panicking thinking she really did major damage to Logan. "I'm fine, man Zoe! You threw that ball like it was nothing. You freaking strong." He said and was rubbing his head where the ball hit him and where he landed on the rock."Sorry, I know I don't know my own strength sometimes. But I am so sorry, you sure you don't need a nurse or anything?" She felt really bad and was offering anything to make Logan feel better. "Nah, I'm fine. I'll live." He said and tries to get up.
Zoey saw he needed help and gave him a hand. Meanwhile, Chase was looking for Zoey; he wanted to see if she wanted to hang out. He asks Nichole where she was and she told him she was at the beach with Logan. When he heard that it was like something sting inside of him. So he ran as fast as he can to get to Zoey. When he got there he saw Zoey helping Logan up from the beach sand. 'Look at her, she so beautiful in the sun.' Chase said to himself as he watches Zoey.
As Zoey was helping Logan up, Logan lost his balance and fell back on the sand and he took Zoey down as well. Zoey fell on top of him and they were face to face. Their faces 5 inches apart. Zoey was tingling inside and so was Logan. They were looking into each other's eyes until, "Hey you guys alright?" Came Chase and interrupted their moment. Both of them snapped out of their moment and looked up at Chase. "Chase what are you doing here?" Asked Zoey as she was getting off of Logan.
"Just felt like passing by and I saw you guys here, and I sense they were trouble. Was there trouble?" Chase tries to play it cool. Zoey help Logan up, she held onto him since he was still a bit out of it. "No trouble, I was just teaching Zoey how to throw a football, she threw it but at my head. Also I landed on a rock and dude, she has an arm!" Logan answer Chase's question."Yeah, I hit Logan really hard, I was helping him up then he fell again." She said and then turns her attention back to Logan. "You should see a nurse."
Logan shook his hand disagreeing with her, "No I told you I will be fine, don't' worry about it." She then put her pouting face and she knew it would work on Logan, "Don't' give me that face. You know I can't say no to that face." "You guys have faces?" Chase asked, jealously building up in him as he saw them. "Yeah, we do. He has a pleading/puppy dog face, jerky face, which I told him is his everyday face and many others." She answers Chase but once again turn her attention to Logan.
"Isn't that sweet, well I'm gonna head out. I have a feeling Nichole needs me to help on the doll." Chase just said that because he couldn't' be around them any more, it made him feel blah; he needed someone to talk to. He was about to go when he just remember why he came here, "Hey Zoe, I wanna ask you something." She turns to him and asks him what he wanted, but not letting go of Logan so he wouldn't fall again.
"Um…I was hoping we talk more in private, but I see Logan needs you, so I'm just gonna say it. Do you wanna hang out later or tomorrow?" He asked, hoping not to get a "no" because they haven't hung out in like forever since this project, and he misses her. Logan didn't want her to hang out with him, he was scare that he would take her away, but then again he took her away from him, plus they had plans. Zoey didn't know what to do, Chase was her best friend and she didn't want to hurt his feelings by saying no, and then she didn't want to hurt Logan's feelings by canceling their plans. She bit her lip in confusion.
"Hold on for a sec, Chase" She said and Chase nodded and waited for her answer. She then turns to Logan and she noticed he had his puppy dog look. 'Why does he have to use that face? Why?' "Um…is it okay if we do our thing tonight instead of tomorrow? Because I haven't hung out with Chase in a while, isn't like you are boring, just that Chase and me…haven't seen each other, wait I use that already, I think. I promise I'll…" She was rambling but was cut off by Logan. "Go tomorrow, its okay, I understand and I can look after Isabella when you go. We'll just do the thing today." He said but deep down he wasn't okay with it, he didn't want her to hang out with him, 'What if they fall for each other? What if he kisses her? Or she kisses him?' These thoughts running through his head, which wasn't good since his head was in pain already.
She was happy and smiled brightly at Logan and thanked him by hugging him. "Thanks, you're the best ever." She then turned to Chase and told him yes for tomorrow. "Alrighty, see you tomorrow. Take care Zoey." He said and places a kiss on Zoey's right cheek. Zoey was shocked she place her hand where he kiss it. Logan was heating up inside, he had a feeling Chase only did that to show him that Zoey was off limits. "Oh bye Logan sees you at the dorm" Chase said and walked away. Chase didn't know what came over him; it was like he wasn't controlling his actions. He guesses he let jealously take over instead, because that wasn't like him or was it.
