*Third Person POV*

Maya and Zack were working on their English homework while the rest of the gang discussed the cuteness of the pair.

"I would be disgusted seeing their lovey dovey crap, but it's nice to see Zack happy. When you and him first arrived, he was really grumpy." Marcus said to Cody. Everyone nodded.

"Yeah, and he doesn't prank that much anymore. I'm actually surprised, but I have a feeling that Maya had a part in that." Cody said. The entire group agreed.

"Well, I should get going, I have my own homework to catch up on." Alex said, standing up. She waved goodbye and headed towards her cabin.

"Wait a minute, I just realized something." Cody said. Everyone sitting around him looked at him in confusion. They waited a minute, expecting Cody to finish what he was saying.

"What is it? Spit it out, man!" Woody said, anxiously.

"We don't have any other homework besides the science project!" Cody exclaimed. His exclamation made every one of the group's heads' turn and they all had different reactions shown on their faces. Most were shock, some were horrified, others were weirdly proud.

"Oh, my god, Zack has turned Maya to the dark side!" Bailey laughed which caused the rest of them to start laughing as well.

After Zack and Maya left the rest of the gang on the Sky Deck, they went into Zack's cabin. Zack sat down on his bed after pulling the English textbook out of his bag. Maya walked over to him after locking the door and sat down in front of him and positioned herself to where she was facing him. She took the textbook out of his hand and dropped it on the floor. It fell with a big bang and Maya kissed Zack's cheek. Zack smiled slightly.

"Maya, what are you doing? I need to read this for English." He told her. Maya smirked and shook her head.

"I lied. The only homework we have is the science project and that's not due for a month." She told him and kissed his lips. He started kissing back. A couple of seconds or minutes went by, and soon they had to pull away for oxygen. Maya rested her forehead against Zack's.

"I love you so much." Maya told him. He smiled and pecked her lips.

"I love you too. If we didn't have any homework, why did you tell me that we did?" He asked me. Maya blushed and looked down at the bed.

"I just wanted to spend some time with you alone away from everyone else." She said and smiled at Zack. He smiled again and leaned towards her. She leaned in and connected her lips to his. They broke apart and she laid down next to him, resting her head on his chest. He wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her closer.

"This is nice," Maya murmurs, sounding tired. "I like cuddling with you." She feels Zack place a gentle kiss on her head and she smiles, eyes drooping shut and she falls asleep in his arms.

*Zack's POV*

I smiled at Maya as she slept in my arms. I kissed the top of her head again and pulled her closer to me without waking her up. I closed my eyes and drift off into the land of dreams.

I wake up to someone knocking very loud on the door. I sigh and feel a weight on my chest I look down and see Maya's head resting on my chest. I smile and gently pull her hair away from her face. Her face scrunches up in the most adorable way and she snuggles closer to me, groaning.

"Mm, what time is it?" Maya asks sleepily. I chuckle lightly and tell her that I'm not sure. The loud knocking starts again and Maya sits up and stumbles out of the bed. She goes to the door and before she can open it, we hear a voice.

"Zack, Maya, could you stop making out and let me in? I forgot my key." Marcus says and I can see Maya blush but she opens the door anyway.

"We weren't making out, Marcus." I say, rolling my eyes. Marcus scoffs.

"Uh-huh, if you weren't really making out, then why did it take so long for you to answer the door. I've been knocking for at least 5 minutes." he says.

"If you must know, we were sleeping." I tell him. He nods and then informs us that it's almost curfew and that Maya should be heading towards her own cabin. We nod and I get up to stand by Maya. I kiss her on the lips and whisper,

"I love you." as I rest my forehead against hers. She smiles and looks into my eyes, returning the affectionate words, and then pecks my lips once more before turning and heading towards her cabin.

"Ugh, you two make me sick." Marcus says from his place on his bed. I roll my eyes and say,

"You're just jealous."

"Yeah, you're right, well, anyway, I'm going to bed, good night." Marcus says and turns off his bedside lamp.

"Night." I say, walking into the bathroom to take a shower. After I showered, I put on my boxers and pajama pants (which were plaid, by the way) and brushed my teeth. I turned off the faucet and the bathroom light as I went through to the bedroom. I hopped on top of my bed and grabbed the index cards from my nightstand, and read the words that were written on the cards. Soon, my eyes could hardly stay open, so I put the notecards away and turned off the bedside lamp. I lifted the covers and slipped under them, closing my eyes and drifting off.


Hey guys! First off, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a good and safe Christmas/happy holidays. I planned to update this story before Thanksgiving but I had a minor case of writer's block and I couldn't figure out how to end this chapter, so I'm sorry if the ending seems rushed. Also, I'm sorry this chapter is short but! This is the last chapter. I am working on an epilogue so I hope to have that written and posted either next week or the week after that, so look forward to that. Thank you for reading and don't forget to review!
