YAY!! I finally got around to posting the next chapter!! I re-wrote this chapter about 4 times, and then I had this weird week long class field trip to San Diego, and now it's spring break, so I finally have a chance to update!! Thanks to all of my reviewers, you are greatly appreciated. And I'm really sorry that this chapter is so short. I am almost done with chapter 6, so don't worry.

I know that a lot of you thought that this was turning into a Mary-Sue, but it's not!! Don't worry!! I explained it under Victoria to Worthing's kudos, and I saved you the expense of having to scroll down and read by typing it again right here!! Aren't you so grateful??

-------------

I know Amy seems veeeery Mary Sue-ish, but she really isn't. I described her according to how Zack saw her on the spur of the moment, but she isn't perfect at all, which you will see in the next chapter.

blue-eyed-stranger- I'm glad you like it!!!

Tituba- Yes, Summer is supposed to seem annoying. :-)

audi katia- Sorry that it took so long to get Chapter 5 up!!

Mystre- Thanks for reviewing!

adriane- I love the hives too!! Hate to say I told you so is my favorite song also. Yeah, fanfics are weird sometimes. I like writing weird ones. :-) And how did you know my name??

Nessa's Ruby Slippers- I don't know! I might have Katie involved, but I'm not sure. My name isn't Amy, it's Emily. But my friend's name is Amy, so I used that for inspiration.

Dolly- Thanx for telling me!

Victoria to Worthing- Thanks so much for reviewing! I'm not going to say if it's all Summer or not, because I am evil!!! Muhahaha!! :-) No, I just want to keep it a surprise. I know Amy seems veeeery Mary Sue-ish, but she really isn't. I described her according to how Zack saw her on the spur of the moment, but she isn't perfect at all, which you will see in the next chapter.

h8r- I am sorry you feel that way. I don't really like the third chapter myself, but we are both stuck with it. And yes, I have seen the movie. I have seen it 23 times. I am an unhealthy obsessed fan.

2 Man Band (god, what is up with my title?? I need to change it)

Chapter 5- Life Sucks

Zack had trouble concentrating during the first few classes of the day. He wanted to blame it all on meeting Amy, but inside he really knew that it was because the competition was drawing closer and closer, and the band was still completely ignoring him and Freddy. The most that had happened was Katie picking up Zack's pencil and giving him a quick, small smile.

*********************

"Hey, Zack! Come eat lunch with me!" called Freddy from across the hall.

"Ok, sure. Hold on." Zack yelled back. Zack turned his voice into a whisper as walked over to Freddy. "I'm going to talk to Amy. Hopefully she'll be eating lunch with us" Zack shrugged.

"Good luck. I saw her walking with Summer on the way to English this morning" said Freddy sadly. They stood there, silent for a moment, as they remembered the band, the most important thing in the world to them. Zack shrugged again.

"I'll try to see you at lunch. Bye.

"Bye" said Freddy.

The two depressed friends turned away from each other and went their separate ways.
