"Dana?" She sighed in relief.

"Matthews." She could practically feel his glare through the phone as she smirked. Tabitha watched amused. She loved seeing the way Chase brought out emotions in her friend. This is part of the real Dana that she keeps under lock and key.

"How are you guys? Have I missed anything big?" She asked trying to calm her heart rate down.

"Uhhhhh... Nicole moved away due to Obsessive Male Gender Disorder (OMGD) but she's back-" He broke off after hearing a snort, "-She's now rooming with Stacy-"

"Dillsen?" Dana asked in disbelief.

"The one and only." Dana fell backwards in laughter. Ironic.

"Zoey and Quinn are still in room 101 with their new roommate, Lola." Dana listened as he told the story of how they met and Dana almost fell off the bed in laughter. Tabitha smiled, mentally thanking Chase for the way he affects her friend.

"Logan and Quinn are together." Tabitha watched as Dana's face turned stunned.

"Quinn and Logan?!" She was speechless. Tabitha could have sworn she heard a slight note of hurt.

"Yep. I never would have imagined it but they are cute together." He mused. Wow she missed a lot.

"I kept my promise." He spoke quietly as Dana froze. Tabitha walked to her slowly. Dana was on alert.

"I'm proud of you Matthews." She lied through her teeth. She genuinely liked Zoey so if she made him happy, she's happy.

"Yeah well it actually happened by accident." She chuckled at that.

"What? You didn't literally fall into her and confess did you?"

"HAHA!" He said sarcastically, "No, Logan and Michael had trapped me.." she listened as he told the story. She was in tears from mirth.

"Oh! Please send me a video of that!" She howled in laughter. Chase had apparently slammed Logan into a desk.

"Poor giraffe." Chase muttered causing Dana to howl in laughter. Tabitha held her arms out to catch her if she fell.

"Yeah so she had transferred. Those two shits cornered me. I ended up confessing due to a blasting webcam malfunction. Accidentally. So I followed her only to find out she transferred back to PCA." Dana felt bad for him. It was a total Chase thing to do though.

He broke her out of her thoughts. His voice turned soft. "I got your note." Dana sat straight up, the laughter gone. Too many emotions flashed so fast. Tabitha grew concerned. She placed a hand on Dana's shoulder. A brief flicker of brown was her only acknowledgement. She was swept away in guarded memory.

*Flashback - day she left.*

"She walked the hallway debating with herself before entering the room and looking around. She found what she was looking for writing a note

"Matthews,

Tell her. You never know until you take a chance.

Don't shy away for once! Better to know than to spend your life wondering.

- Dana"

She slipped it in then slid out the door."

*Present*

"Dana?"

"Matthews." A familiar sigh reached her ears.

She heard a door slam. Must be Logan.

"I gotta go. Nice talking to you Dana."

"You too Matthews." She said as Zoey came back on the line.

"Thanks Zoey."

"No problem Dana. We miss you." Her words brought tears but she blinked them away.
