Chase's POV
Where is she? Nicole and I ran down the steps out the back way of the boys dorms. We race down straight unknown to where Zoey was. Our safest bet was to run straight. We saw Jason over someone. It must be her. The girl I loved for so long. Why did she run? Was she jealous? Does that mean she likes me? If she does like me then why is she going out with Jason.
"Zoe," Nicole said when we reached them.
"Leave me alone," she ordered. She took off again towards the beach.
"Zoey," Jason yelled.
"No let Chase handle it," Nicole said stopping Jason.
I saw her look at him madly. I am sure she hated him now but I still think she liked him. Feeling can't go away overnight.
"Why?" we both asked.
"Because Chase knows more about Zoey then anyone. He has been there for her and truthful to her. He never lied to her. Unlike the rest of us here," she said.
I know she meant not being truthful to Zoey because she didn't tell Zoey her real feelings for Jason. She meant Jason not really liking Zoey. Jason gasped at me and her with a open mouth.
"Did you tell her?" he asked.
"Excuse I have to go help my best friend. Oh yea. Stop telling Zoey bull cause it will come back to you," I said in his face.
"Is that a threat?" he asked.
"Take as you want," I said far from him.
"Zoey," I called out running to the beach.
I saw a girl crying. She laid out in the sand of the beach. I knew it was her. I took a deep breath.
"Zoe?" I asked while taking a sit.
"What?" she asked.
"Why are you like this?" I asked.
"Why are you here?" she asked showing me her face.
She had red eyes I swear I never seen. Her face turn red. Her hair stuck to dried tears on her face.
"Because. I still care about you," I told her.
"Whatever. Where is your girlfriend at?" she asked.
"I am single. Unlike you," I commented.
I admitted it wasn't the sweetest voice I used.
"You and Nicole aren't?" she asked with a hiccup.
"No. We are just friends. Why did you get mad?" she asked.
"Because. Well. . . I. I was mad because I thought that you and Nicole were going out. I felt like I should know because I thought we were all best friends," she said.
"Right," I said.
I am not a naive as I used to be. No part in me believed her. I nodded my head. It wasn't like she didn't have a boyfriend. I wasn't going to make a move on her knowing that she belong to someone else.
"Friends?" I asked.
"Always," she said.
"Zoey do you like me?" I asked.
"What?" she asked me.
"Nothing forget it," I said.
Boy must I have sounded stupid.
"Do you know what is going on with Nicole and Jason?" she asked.
"I can't tell secrets, Zoe," I told her.
"I know," she said.
"Lets go," I said.
"No. I want to know why did Nicole run out like that?" she asked.
"I told her something that she didn't want to hear. Something that hurt me and her both and it might even hurt more people," I told the naive girl before.
"Why did you kiss her?" she asked.
"A lot of people think something was going on between us. So I kissed her to see if there were any feelings between us. Plus she wouldn't shut up," I said with a smile.
"Oh. Was there anything?" Zoey seemed afraid to asked.
"No," I said and move close to her face.
I pulled back with all my urge because she was taken.
"People talked about us. You never kissed me?" she said.
"Did you want me to?" I asked.
She just looked at me.
"Zoey," I said.
"Chase. I really don't know," she said.
"Oh. Come one," I said.
"Lets go," she said.
We walked to Nicole and Jason in-between a big fight scene.
"Lair!" Nicole yelled.
"Nicole it isn't like that!" he yelled back.
"Whatever!" Nicole yelled and went running.
"I guess I got to go," Zoey said.
"NO. I go," Jason said following Nicole.
"What is going on?" Zoey asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders not wanting to say yes or no.
"Lets go."
We started to walk away. I think we were going to the lake.
"Is there something between Nicole and Jason?" Zoey asked.
"No," I said fast.
"Chase you are bad lair," said with a smile.
"Oh," I said.
"Is he cheating on me?" she asked.
"Zoey. Nicole is your best friend. She would never," I told her.
"I know. I mean him. Is that what you told her and she got mad about screaming about how could he?" she asked.
"Zoey I am your best friend. If he was cheating on you and I know he wouldn't be standing," I said with a laugh.
"What you would fight him?" Zoey asked.
"No. I send Dana on him," I said with a laugh. "Yes. I would fight for you," I said.
She smiled her sweet smile at me. I hope Jason and her break up soon. I want to tell her about Jason liking Nicole but I don't want to hurt her. What if she doesn't believe me?
"Lets sit here," Zoey said and pointed to a bench.
We saw people walking around talking and pointing at us.
"What are they looking at Zoey?" I asked.
"I don't maybe because my face and makeup is ruined," she said.
Two girls stopped in front of us. One giggle the other seemed confused.
"What?" the brown haired girl asked her friend.
"She is cheating on Jason with Chase. It doesn't matter because Jason is seeing her best friend, Nicole on the side," the blonde whispered. One thing she doesn't know how to whisper.
"What!" Zoey said and jumped up.
The blonde rolled her eyes. "Lets go," she said to her friend.
Zoey look really to pull that girls hair to bring her back. I guess she wanted to know who started this rumor.
"Zoey. We have to get to Jason and Nicole before this gets to them," I told her.
"Okay," she said.
She pulled out her cellphone and texted someone.
"They already heard it," she told me.
"And?" I asked.
"Nicole wants to speak to me alone, in 101," Zoey said.
"Okay. Bye Zoe. Wait do you think it was Stacy?" I asked her.
I hated that little slut. She ruined all of our friendships and some how is inside of our lifes.
"I hope not," she said and ran to the dorm.
