What Chapter are we at now? Chapter 10? Okay Chapter 10 is here. Originally I was going to post every Saturday, but I'm just gonna post every other day cuz I get bored. Enjoy or don't…

So in the last chapter, I said something about Scott making things right. Well here's how it went for Mike and Zoey.

It was a depressing Friday. Mike was kicking himself for not bringing an umbrella. If you've ever been outside before a storm, you know what I mean when I say that Mike could feel the moisture in the air. The day so far was not going as expected. First of all, he had overslept, meaning that he was unable to catch breakfast. On the way to school, he had remembered his art admission, meaning he had to go back for it, rendering him officially late unless he ran, which was not a good idea for him because his leg was starting to burn for some reason. Nevertheless, Mike ran to submit his entry before homeroom ended. After his submission was ready to be judged, he stopped at his locker and hastily stuffed his bag and unneeded items into it. As a round of thunder boomed, Mike rushed into class as 25 pairs of eyes swung to stare at him. Just as he sat down, the bell rang, telling Mike that he wasn't too late.

"Okay students, today we're going to-"

BOOM BANG BOOM!

Another round of thunder sounded, cutting Mrs. Holmes off.

"I hope it's not going to be like that all day," She mused. "As I was saying, today we are going to the Science Lab. The first order of business today is to pair up."

Mike and Devon immediately looked at each other, signaling that they could be partners. Unfortunately, the teacher was pairing everyone up herself. Sadly, Devon got paired up with a short blonde kid named Jerry.

"Who still doesn't have a partner? Mrs. Holmes asked. "Aha, Mike and…Zack."

Mike's mind clogged up. He didn't even know that Zack, his number one bully, was in his first period. Mike was expecting Zack to punch his arm or slap the back of his head or something, but Zack didn't even look at him. In fact, even after the class had walked to the Lab and chosen their seats, he still hadn't said a word. It was when the teacher was giving instructions on the lab Zack spoke.

"Hey Mike?" he whispered. Mike was fully expecting Zack to taunt him. "I'm kind of sorry I teased you about your brother. I guess it was sort of mean." So it was an apology. It was the weakest apology in the world, but Mike knew it was the only one he was going to get, so he took it.

Just as he was about to respond, a clap of thunder growled. At the same time, the door flew open and an office attendant burst in saying Mike Smith had to go down to the main office to approve a pick up. In other words, Mike had to be picked up by someone other than his parents. Mike looked at Zack, who was just as confused as he was, and said, "It's fine, he wasn't even my brother."

In Zoey's first period, the same thing happened, just without the dramatic clap of thunder to go along with it. As Zoey trekked down the hall, she found that Mike too was being picked up by an unknown source.

"Do you think it's Chris?" Zoey asked him.

"I sure hope not," Mike replied.

Mike and Zoey both stopped in their tracks when they saw who was waiting for them. It was none other than Dawn herself, surprising yet another person.

"Dawn?" Zoey asked.

Dawn seemed to float towards them. "Greetings Mike and Zoey," Dawn said. "I see you have found each other."

"What are you doing here?" Zoey asked.

"Well, I need your help! A very dear… acquaintance of ours is on the verge of dying," Dawn stated.

"What acquaintance?" Mike asked.

"I'll explain later…. So will you help?" Dawn pleaded. The couple could see that Dawn was distressed, so they agreed to follow her.

Nothing was really explained until Dawn drove (Yes drove a car) into the parking lot of a hospital.

"Umm… Why are we here?" Zoey asked.

"The dear acquaintance who is dying… is Scott…" Dawn admitted.

"Wait- we have to help Scott?" Zoey asked

"If you do not help him, he will die!" Dawn argued

"After everything he's done? Hah! Can we just go home?"

"You can go home, but you are not using my car if you leave now," Dawn said

Zoey looked around, not knowing how to get back home, and sighed.

"Lead the way Dawn," Mike sighed.

At the first glimpse of Scott, Mike and Zoey almost fainted. If he was alive, he was holding on to a thin strand.

"Wait a minute, how are we supposed to help him?" Mike asked.

"I've brought everyone who's been wronged by Scott here to hear his apology. You two are the last ones," Dawn explained.

"How will this help Scott?" Zoey asked.

"Hopefully, you will forgive him and maybe it will help him heal. The skies tell me to do this."

"Okay," Mike caved. Dawn's face lit up.

"Let's get started."

Dawn readied herself, and began. "As for my apology for Mike," Dawn started. "Mike, I'm sorry for everything I did to you. You were right to mistrust me. Honestly, all I wanted was to win the million. That's what everyone wanted, right? I admit clubbing you over the head could've led to fatal endings, but I hope it helped you with your physiological problem." Mike was speechless through the whole thing. As Dawn started on Zoey's apology, he decided that Scott wasn't as bad as he thought he was, but he was still bad.

"For Zoey, my apology should be fairly long, but I'm just going to cut to the chase. If I had to choose the strongest player on the island, you would be right after Lightning. Even though Lightning is the strongest physically, you had the power to put me in this chair with the help of Fang. Like I said, I was just in it for the money. I'm not saying I'm gonna change, but at least you know I'm regretting my actions. I made a stupid mistake that's probably going to cost me my life. I can't understand the reason for the help of Dawn. I just don't see how see can stand to help me like this." Dawn stopped suddenly, with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you," she said to them. As she drove them back to school, as it was only 1:00, the couple mulled over their apologies. They finally decided to forgive him. None of them realized it, but even though the storm from earlier was over, a new one was about to bloom.

Sorry for the cheesy chapter. I was sort of rushing at the end because this is starting to get boring. R&R PEACE OUT
