This chapters been in the works for months now. Please enjoy it. :)

Thanks to GirlDog321 for reviewing the last chapter. :)

I'll say it again: enjoy!

The week whizzed by and soon enough Noah was driving himself back to Mike's house, ever so slightly nervous. He received a text from Mike's number saying to go to the park not far from the house instead, while he was at a red light. Noah shrugged and drove to that park.

Zoey was already there, pacing back and forth, trying to collect her thoughts. As Noah walked towards her hesitantly after parking in the nearest lot, book in his hand, she barely recognized him from the show and waved. Noah just nodded curtly and closed most of the distance between them. "Where's Spray Can?" he asked, bored.

"She's not here yet, probably putting on makeup or doing her hair."

"If that's the case we'll be here forever. But whatever, I have a test in two weeks to study for." Noah walked to and sat on a bench close by and opened his book, beginning to drink up the information.

Zoey walked over and slowly sat next to him. "Um...I'm Zoey," she figured to introduce herself.

"I know," Noah replied dryly. "I watched the show." He went back to reading his book.

Zoey slowly frowned, and closed his book. Noah looked up and glared at her. "Do you have a grievance you wish to share?" he asked with an annoyed eyebrow raised.

"Yeah. Why aren't you trying to make conversation, we're both here for the same reason and we might as well start now," Zoey asked, irritated. "Anne Maria will just contradict everything either of us says until she gets what she wants and that isn't going to-" she covered her mouth. "That just slipped out...I'm sorry." Her face grew red in embarrassment.

"Don't be, you just earned yourself a few extra points." Noah clapped slowly.

Zoey nodded, slighlty confused.

Noah thought about it. "I suppose maybe we could start talking about it now."

Zoey smiled. "Great! This'll be over quickly and you can go back to doing whatever you do in college."

"Study, ignore my roommate, go to class, study…" Noah shrugged.

"Don't you do anything fun?"

"Until last week, nah," Noah waved it off.

"Right, that was when you and Mal met in person…"

"How much do you know?"

"I know you and him hooked up. I don't know how it happened or anything, Mike told me about it."

Noah nodded, suddenly getting a bit of a dreamy look on his face.

"Are you okay?" Zoey asked, seeing the drastic change in his expression.

Noah snapped out of it. "Yes, I'm perfectly fine."

Zoey smirked a little. "You really like him."

"I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't, now would I?"

"Fair point."

That was when Anne Maria's car pulled into the park obnoxiously and Anne Maria stepped out. "Aight, let's get it ovah with," she said upon seeing them. "Ew, what are you wearing?" she asked Noah upon seeing his outfit.

"It's called a sweater vest, Spraycan," he replied dryly.

"It's ugly, take it off."

"No, I like it." Noah crossed his arms, book in one hand.

"Ugh, do we really have to share with him?" Anne Maria looked Zoey, a bit whiny and irritated.

"Yes, get over it." Zoey crossed her arms. "And stop acting like a five year old."

"Another point to Zoey." Noah smirked.

"Shut it, loser. Let's just talk already." Anne Maria put a hand on her hip and stared at them. "Well?"

"We need to work this out. I see Mike more than both of you see your respective boyfriends and I don't think that's really fair," Zoey started.

"Damn right it's not! I don't get no time to be with my Vito and you and Mike are like, joined together at the hip!" Anne Maria huffed.

Noah said nothing in response; this was their personal squabble he didn't need to be involved with yet.

"We are not," Zoey denied. "And that's what this is for. Us all getting equal time, more or less."

"Um, pardon me, but that isn't statistically possibly until summer," Noah cut it. "I can only come down here on the weekends."

Zoey thought on that. "Then we do it by weekends," she suggested.

The other two raised their eyebrows.

"We commit to an order where we get time to be with whoever we're with for a weekend. It prevents inequality and fighting," Zoey explained.

"It's possible...but how would we order it?" Noah inquired.

"Maybe we start next weekend with Anne Maria getting the first go."

"Uh, no, I should get to go first, I've barely spent any time ever with Mal," Noah contradicted. He crossed his arms.

"Okay fine, you can go first then-"

"Aw hell no! You just said I could go first!" Anne Maria objected.

The three of them started bickering for a while. Finally Zoey yelled, "Shut up, both of you!" She was angry and showed it.

Noah and Anne Maria closed their mouths.

"We need to stop this fighting. We have to get along for this to work. I'm sorry for yelling," Zoey apologized, "but I had to."

"On the contrary, if this plan of yours does indeed work, this is the last time we ever have to see each other until a holiday or something," Noah contradicted, "though I do not look forward to that holiday."

"Me neither," Anne Maria agreed with a frown.

"Okay whatever, let's just agree to try out my idea for at least six weeks?" Zoey asked them.

Noah pondered it then conceded. "Fine," he replied.

Anne Maria eventually conceded as well. They all split and Zoey hoped this would turn out okay. She would most likely be proven wrong...

There we go! Please review and I'll see you next time.:)
