Posting late tonight... but here ya go.
Cody went back to his room and slumped on the bed. He should've seen this coming; he set them up. He forced them together and this was the thanks he got. So why did he feel this jealousy? He didn't like the feeling. He hated when he felt jealousy towards his brother. Zack had had it worse when they were children. So if the world's just getting even, Cody should be okay with it. But somehow it had to intervene with his plans.
His stomach twisted and turned and left him groaning against the bed frame. He was going to ask Bailey out today right after Woody gave him the signal that she was on the Sky Deck. When he saw her in her adorable outfit, he had paused, and then spotted the clumsy waiter going in her direction. Zack and his charm had impressed her more than his cheerful stick-to-it attitude that had won the love of teachers. Why not girls?
Bailey was different from the others. She was beautiful, intelligent, sarcastic, country, and shared his love of science. They were perfect for each other… right?
Zack was headed to carry out the first step of his plan to get Cody and Bailey together. First, he had to find out if Cody liked her. Probably since she is awesome!
He stopped at the door to Cody and Woody's room. Woody was banging on the door.
"C'mon Cody! I left my homework in there!"
A textbook flew in the hallway. Zack ducked and picked up the textbook.
"No, this is my math textbook! I needed my geography textbook!"
A muffled noise from inside the cabin was heard, "you could've been more specific!"
"And I also need my lunch, my laptop, and my toy sword."
A bag with a laptop in it was thrown in Woody's face along with a textbook.
"That's all you need for education, now please leave!"
"What about my lu…" "You're not going to be living out on the streets with no career and no job if you don't have your lunch."
"Well, if you think about it…"
"No!"
Woody huffed and walked away, educational tools in hand.
"Hey Cody, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Go away Zack."
"Why? What's wrong buddy?"
"Don't call me buddy, you woman-stealer!"
"Woman-stealer, what do you mean?"
"I saw Bailey kiss you!"
"One, it was a thanks for something I will tell you later. Two, Bailey wasn't yours in the first place. And Three, me and Bailey are just good friends."
Cody opened the door and let him in. "You two sure don't seem like it though…"
Zack sighed, "I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, since you like her. You like her right?"
"Of course."
"Well, she likes you too and the earlier incident was all a big scheme to ask you out."
"H-how?"
"Same thing I asked. When she explained it, it still didn't make any sense."
"So… you're saying?"
"Stop moping around and ask her out yourself," Zack smiled. "Be the guy I know you are, Cody. Make dad proud."
Cody's eyes started to water, "Thanks Zack, I could always count on you."
