I'm so sorry for not updating in six days. I've been writing other stories that still aren't complete. But anyway here is chapter 11 with The Nicest Kids In Town. It will include all of the night until they go to sleep so this chapter should be pretty long. And once again the song is in italics. And with all that being said, let's get on with the story.

Zoe's POV.

As soon as the final bell rings Tracy jumps up from her stool. She grabs my wrist and drags me out of the science room, still running. "Where are we going and why do we need to get there in such a hurry?" I ask, panting for breath. "We need to get home. The Corny Collins Show starts in 30 minutes and I don't want to miss it." Tracy explains as we run to Penny, Jarred and Evan's current classroom. We run to the door but they are no where to be seen. "Uggh! Where are they?" Tracy yells to no one in particular. Suddenly Penny runs up behind Tracy. "I thought we were meeting at your classroom!" Penny gushes. "We decided that we're meeting here. Anyway we need to go! We're gonna be late!" Tracy says, grabbing Penny's wrist and running out of the school doors. "Push, we're late" Tracy yells as we get on the bus. We sit in the seats closest to the front. I sit with Evan. I lean into is chest. All of this running is making me really dizzy but that's my own fault. "Are you ok Zo? You look a little pale" Evan asks, worry flooding his voice. "Y-Yeah I'm fine" I say unconvincingly. "Ok" Evan says suspiciously. As soon as the bus stops, Tracy jumps up and runs out, us four following her but a lot slower. "Why does the bus stop closer to home than it goes?" I ask, hoping that my sentence made sense. " I honestly don't know but hey, we didn't have to ride a garbage truck home" Penny says and I laugh. "We gotta go say hi to my dad" Tracy says. We run up the three steps of The Hardy Har Hut and open the door. "Hi Mr Turnblad" Penny, Jarred, Evan and I say. "Hi dad" Tracy says at the same time as us. "Hi?" Mr Turnblad says, confused. "That's my daughter" We hear him say to his customer. We run into Tracy's house and dump our bags on the floor. Tracy turns on the t.v and as soon as she does the host, Corny Collins I'm assuming, says

Hey there teenage Baltimore! Don't change that channel cause it's time for the Corny Collins Show! Brought to you by Ultra Clutch Hairspray!

The music starts and Tracy and Penny start dancing almost immediately. Being the dancer I am, I join in, even though I have you clue what I'm dancing to. Jarred and Evan sit on the couch (which is currently in couch form, not bed.) and watch us

Oh every afternoon when the clock strikes 4.

A crazy bunch of kids crash through that door.

They throw off their coats and leave the squares behind.

And then the shake it, shake it, shake it like they're losing their mind.

You'll never see them frown,

Cause they're the nicest kids in town!

Oh every afternoon you turn your t.v on.

Yeah, we now you turn the sound up when your parents are gone.

Then you twist and shout for your favourite star and when you've practiced every step it's in your repertoire.

You better come on down and meet the nicest kids in town!

Nice white kids who like to lead the way and once a month we have our Negro Day!

And I'm the man who keeps it spinning round.

Mr Corny Collins with the latest, greatest Baltimore sound.

So every afternoon drop everything

Who needs to read and write when you can dance and sing.

Forget about your algebra and calculus,

You can always do your homework on the morning bus.

Can't tell a verb from a noun,

They're the nicest kids in town!

R-r-r-role call!

I'm Amber!

Brad!

Tammy!

Fender!

Brenda!

Sketch!

Shelly!

IQ!

Lou-Anne!

Joey!

Mikey!

Vicki!

Becky!

Bix!

Jesse!

Darla!

Paulie!

Noreen!

Doreen!

And I'm... Link!

As soon as Link says his name Tracy and Penny squeal. I look at them in shock. What's so special about this Link guy?

I shrug my shoulders and we continue to dance as the lyrics start again.

So if every night you're shaking as you lie in bed.

And the bass and drums are pounding in your head.

Who cares about sleep when you can snooze in school.

They'll never get to collage but they'll sure look good.

Don't need a cap or a gown when you're the nicest kids in town!

"They must think my ears are garbage cans" Edna says as she walks into the room, still in her nightgown. "Can you turn that racket down?" Edna yells but we ignore her. "I'm trying to iron here" Edna mutters.

Nicest kids in town!

Whoo!

The performers sing as the song comes to an end. "Ma, it's not racket, it's The Corny Collins Show!" Tracy says. "Well, it's turning your brains into mud" Edna says and I laugh quietly, hoping she didn't hear me. "Mrs Turnblad, it's a new dance. The Stricken Chicken!" Penny says. "Well I can't hear myself think. How am I supposed to negotiate pleats?" Edna says. "Edna?" Someone calls from the hallway. "I'm in here Prudy" Edna says and Penny jumps behind the couch, making a thumping noise as she hits the ground. I look at Evan confused and he shrugs his shoulders. "What is that racket?" the woman, who's name is Prudy obviously, asks. She sounds very scary and strict. "Tracy" Prudy sighs in disbelief. "Edna is my laundry ready?" Prudy asks. "Yep. That'll be 3 dollars hun" Edna says. "That's pretty pricy for a pair of petty pants" Prudy says. "Well I'm sorry Prudy but some of your personal stains required pounding with a rock" Edna says causing Evan, Jarred and I to snicker. "I'm sure I don't know you mean" Prudy says, embarrassed. "Letting her listen to that race music, my daughter spends every afternoon at the Stamp and Coins Club" Prudy says. "Oh really? Well your daughter hap..." Edna says but Tracy cuts her off my making multiple strange noises and waving her hands around. "What's that the waving raven? It's a little twitchy" Edna says. "Oh you wanna play charades now, alright. Ok, go ahead" Edna says. "You? Penny? No? Tracy Turnblad, are you telling me that Penny didn't get permission from her mother to come around this afternoon?" Edna asks and Penny stands up from behind the couch. "Penny! You are banned from this house. You will never watch that show again!" Prudy yells as she grabs Penny by the forearm and drags her out of the house, a lot more violently than Tracy drags me places. "Without that show I have nothing!" Penny yells. "Having nothing builds character!" Prudy yells. "Well she's a character" Jarred says once they leave. "Yeah, sorry about that" Tracy says. "No problem" Evan says. "So did you see Alana or Connor at school today?" Tracy asks. "I saw and spoke to Alana but I didn't see Connor" I say. "Wait you saw Alana?" Evan asks. "Yeah. And spoke to her. Why?" I say. "You didn't tell me that" Evan says. "I didn't have a lot of time to" I say. We continue watching The Corny Collins Show until it's over and soon enough it is time for dinner. After we finish dinner I go into the bathroom to wash my hair. Once my hair is washed and my pyjamas are on I look over to the toilet. "Should I?" I ask myself in my head. "Is it really worth it?" I ask myself in my head again. "Yes, yes it is worth it because if you're not beautiful and skinny Evan will leave you" I answer myself. "Don't be ridiculous, Evan loves me no matter what" I say to myself. "But do you really believe that?" I ask myself and without thinking, I'm throwing up again. I left the shower on so no one could hear me. Once I'm done I walk over to the shower and turn it off. I walk out of the bathroom as if nothing happened. I walk over to Evan and sit in his lap, just like I did the past two nights. "Hello Mr Turnblad" I say, only just noticing that he's in the room. "Hello Zoe" Mr Turnblad says. After two hours of watching the same t.v show we've watched for the past two nights it's time for bed. Edna and I fold out the couch so it's now a bed. After everyone says goodnight to everyone Evan and I hop into bed. Once we're snuggled in and I'm wrapped tightly in his arms Evan starts talking. "Hey Zo" Evan says. "Yeah Ev" I say. "I know what happened at lunch time today" Evan says, cautiously. My stomach drops. "How did you find out?" I ask frantically, starting to tear up a little. "Penny told me" Evan says. " I told her not to" I say. "I know, she told me that. Look Zo, from what she told me it got pretty bad. She told me that you fell" Evan says. "I did" I say. Evan sighs, looking down. I see a tear fall onto the quilt covering us both. "Ev! Don't cry!" I say. "I'm sorry Zo, I should be protecting you. I should be making sure you're safe. I'm a horrible boyfriend" Evan cries and his words break my heart. "Evan you do protect me. You're the only one protecting me. You do make sure I'm safe and Ev, you're the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. I'm so so happy that you're mine." I whisper, a few tears rolling down my own cheeks. "Come here" Evan whispers as he pulls me into his arms and cries into my hair. "E-Ev" I say quietly. "Yeah Zo" Evan says. "You're gonna hate me after I tell you this but, I threw up after dinner today" I whisper. Instead of saying anything he just hugs me tighter and cries a little harder. "I'm sorry Ev, I'm such a bad girlfriend" I say. "Don't say that Zoe. You're perfect" Evan says. "No I'm not, I'm the opposite of perfect" I say. "No you aren't. You're perfect just they way you are, I wish you could see that" Evan says. He pulls away from me slightly to kiss me. I kiss him back happily. "I love you so much Zoe Murphy" Evan says once he breaks the kiss. "I love you too Evan Hansen" I say. "Can you sing me a song with that angelic voice of yours?" Evan asks me sweetly. "What are you, five?" I ask jokingly. "Please" He says, using a super cute voice. "Fine! What song?" I ask. "Umm that one that you sing around the house all the time" Evan says. "You've got to be a lot more descriptive then that. I sing a lot of songs around the house" I say, laughing slightly. "That one from the t.v show you love. God what's it called?" Evan asks. "The song or the t.v show?" I ask. "The t.v show." Evan says. "The show is most likely Glee" I say. "Yeah that one. I like the song from Glee that you sing all the time" Evan says. "Once again you've got to be more specific. Glee has lot of songs" I say. "That one about science" Evan says. "I'm assuming you mean The Scientist" I say. "Yeah, that's the one". I begin to sing The Scientist quietly and halfway through the song he falls asleep. "Goodnight Evan" I whisper and kiss his cheeks before going to sleep myself.
