Believe Me?
Summer was running toward the house she had always known and loved. It didn't matter whether Katie was mad at her or not, Katie was still her best friend. Tears were running down her cheeks and she didn't care. Betrayal was what it was.
'I never really like Sharon and Carol anyway,' she thought furiously. How dare they split up her best friends? The red door loomed before her eyes. She felt something wet fall onto her shoulder.
'Hell, please don't let it rain,' but it did. It began to rain in the summer. She ran much faster to the red door of Katie's house.
Rather soaked and cold, Summer knocked on the door. It was answered by Katie who was looking bemused and yet apprehensive at her soaked ex-friend.
"Katie, Katie, please let me in, you have to listen to me!"
"Er..."
"Please,"
Katie looked at her sympathetically, her lips were almost blue and she was shivering like a thin tree in a strong wind. She eyed her once more.
'If she had come all this way, it must be important,' she thought.
"Come in."
"Thank you. I'll start first, Katie, I'm so, so sorry about what I did to you. I should apologize to Zack for treating him like dirt."
"You want him back?"
"No, he has a girlfriend."
"Oh, well, your apology is accepted. You want to borrow some clothes?"
"Yeah," she replied meekly.
Katie covered her friend in a towel and brought her upstairs. Once Summer had changed they sat on Katie's bed; they were quite silent for a while.
"Summer, I'm sorry too. But Zack's my friend but I feel it my duty to defend him even if the blow came from a friend as well. I would have done the same thing if it was you and not Zack who was being spoken about."
"No need to act all gallant, it was our entire mistake."
"Yeah, friends?"
"Of course,"
The two hugged and Katie looked into her friend's blue-gray eyes. There was uncertainty in it. Summer wasn't looking directly at Katie; she was looking more at the window near the bed.
"Summer?"
"Hmmm?"
"Er, what's the problem?"
"Nothing."
"Summer,"
"Nothing's wrong. Really,"
"Really?"
"I'm positive, why do you ask?"
"You're not looking at me straight in the eye."
"Okay, I'll be honest. I had intended to tell you, it's just so hard."
"Well, I'm listening."
"It's about a certain Finn..."
"Er, Dewey?"
"Katie...it's about Matt, and your cousins, Sharon and Carol."
"Erm, go on," Katie prodded.
"They are planning to break Freddy and you up while also breaking Zack and Vaneza up."
"Really? I had the feeling they were up to something."
"Yes, I didn't want to be the one to tell you that but,"
"I HATE THOSE THREE!!!!!"
"Er, yeah but cool down, you're a smart girl and so am I, we need to fix this problem."
"What do you suggest?"
"A plan."
"A plan?"
"Yes, a plan, we can humiliate them and you know...stuff."
"Erm, right, let's get started."
"Not now, we need to let the three in on this."
"Well, yeah of course."
"Starting when do we initiate this 'plan'?"
"Now I suppose...well, not exactly but we have to start ASAP."
"Agreed."

So Katie and Summer were friends once more. They were currently crafting a plan. Summer was to stay with Katie until the rain receded. It didn't look like it was going to become sunny anytime soon, it was still dreary and dark.
Katie looked sullenly at her phone. It was black and red and chic and small. Katie always liked that phone. She picked it up and began to dial Vaneza's number.
"Hello?"
"Hi Katie!"
"Oh hi Nigella, is Katie there?"
"No, she hasn't gone home since last night. She did call this morning, she said she was at Zack's house, she lost track of time and she couldn't leave because of the rain."
(A/N: To all those who are thinking that get your heads out of the gutter.)
"Oh, well, okay, I'll just call there instead, thanks Nigella."
Katie smirked to herself. She looked practically like Zack with that smirk on her face. Summer laughed briefly at the expression on her friend's face. The she turned serious.
"Well, where's Vaneza?"
"She's at Zack's house."
Summer's smile grew wider.
"What do you reckon they're doing there?" "Summer, get your head out of the gutter."
"I'm just kidding, can't I joke a little."
"Well, the thought sickens me."
"Yeah. Um, anyway are you going to call her or what?"
Silence.
"Yeah, I guess I should."
"Yeah,"
Katie dialed her other best friend's phone number. She looked out the window; the rain seemed to be letting up. She twirled the cord around her finger while Summer picked up the bag she had brought there. She took out the clipboard she had brought and checked her to do list.
Katie looked over at her friend. She was always so organized. Katie took one look at her room, it was clean enough but the small amount of clutter about it added uniqueness to the room. Summer's room was sparkling yet tacked up with numbers of various companies who had hired School of Rock and some autographs and pictures. Also there were quite a few of her favorite musicians, mainly RnB and Rock.
For what seemed like eternity the phone was finally picked up on the other end.
"Hello, Mooneyham residence, who's this please?"
"Hey Jesse, its Katie."
"Oh hi Katie, what's up? And please don't say the sky; I've heard that one too many times."
'For a quiet fifth grader,' she thought, 'he's quite spunky, he's got moxie he'll be a great rocker soon like Zack. Hunter will never become like Zack, but she's a good dancer. Performance-wise maybe she'll be back up for Beyonce or JLo some day, just definitely not a rock star.'
"Er, did you see your brother come in with a girl, she had long black hair and brown eyes. She was pretty."
"Yeah, I need to talk to her."
"I can't go and call her though, Zack's room is locked."
Katie closed her eyes and tried to brush away all the mental thoughts that were entering her head.
"Great. Just scream...or I know, is Hunter there?"
"Of course she is. She isn't going out of the house much until next week."
"What's happening next week?"
"Er, she has this dance camp thingy."
'Well my gut feeling was right she did choose the right path.'
"Okay, well, lemme talk to her."
"Okay, hold on. Oh and by the way, it's our birthday next week. Mom allowed Zack to invite everyone in the band including Dewey 'n' the crew but me 'n' Hunter said that if you guys are coming you hafta play. Zack agreed. So are ya coming?"
"Well, I'll try."
"Okay. Hold on. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNTTTTTTEEEEERRRR!!!!!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"KATIE WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU, YOU CRAPHOLE!"
"ALRIGHT SNOT-FACE, TELL HER I"LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE!"
"KAY!"
Katie smiled inwardly. What in the world was Zack teaching his siblings? There was a swift banging coming down the stairs and Jesse groaned. Katie could hear bits of their sp called conversation.
"Gimme the phone..."
"Nu-uh!"
"Worm!"
"Amoeba! Here."
"Piece of crap. Hello?"
"Hey, what's up? You sound...erm...nice."
"Nice Katie, but I hear your cousins are in time."
"You worshipped them."
"Not anymore. They talked to me recently, they're bitches."
"Did Zack teach you that language?" Katie asked amused
"Of course."
"So why are you acting nice...in fact you're acting like a 12 year old."
"Haha, I'm nice coz I'm in love."
"Freddy, again?"
"Of course not! It's this guy who'll be in the dance camp with me. He has blond hair, green eyes and is twelve years old."
"Well, he sounds cool."
"Don't expect my attitude to last."
"Don't worry, I won't."
"So what do you want?"
"I need yours and Jesse's help on this."
"Okay, speak to me,"
"Hah, well, I want you to knock on Zack's door continuously and scream his name out loud."
"He'll just slam the door in my face."
"I know that, that's why I need Jesse also."
"Yeah,"
"Well, he'll block the door when he tries to close it. He'll say 'Phone for you!' and there."
"That's the plan? To get my stinky brother to talk on the phone?"
"Yeah,"
"Well, okay."
"Your phone's cordless right?"
"Yup!"
"There, just tell Jesse to take the cordless upstairs and whatever you do, do not put down the phone."
"Okay!"
So Hunter relayed to Jessie what Katie had just told her. Katie, on the other hand was mentally laughing at herself. She had just initiated a plan with a couple of ten year olds. She looked at Summer, her face was buried in a book and silent laughter could be heard from it. She gave Summer an amused/exasperated look.
"What? It was a silly plan!"
"Jeez, it's not like I have any other choice. He's not getting out of his room anytime soon."
Katie shook her head. Suddenly a voice was heard into the receiver. It was Jesse.
"Katie, Hunter's upstairs already."
"Okay, good."
Katie could hear silent laughter coming from the twins. Then it was silent then Hunter began banging on the door.
"ZAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!"
Katie could hear shuffling and the opening of the door. She heard Zack say something she couldn't decipher. She was laughing inwardly before Zack came on the phone.
"Hello Katie?"
"Uh, yeah, is Vaneza there?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I need to talk to her. I hope you haven't destroyed my friend's honor."
"Why Katie, I would never do that,"
"Thank God,"
"Not yet anyway."
"Sheesh, just put Vaneza on the phone."
"Okay, Vaneza, phone for ya!"
"Coming....Hello?"
"Vaneza, I need you to come over now."
"Now? It's raining!"
"Look again, I don't blame you if you don't want to leave your boyfriend, but please come over! This is really, very important."
"Oh alright, I'll be in your house in ten minutes."
"Thank You!"
Katie hung up and waited.

In fifteen minutes Vaneza was there looking flushed. She had a sour look on her face when she arrived.
"Um, I hope this is really, really important coz I liked it there."
"Yeah, in Zack's arms you mean."
Vaneza blushed.
"Well, Vaneza meet my friend Summer, she was at the party."
"Oh, Hi Summer!"
"Hell Vaneza, Summer Hathaway is my name." "Great."
"So what did you call me here for?"
"Look, this whole time Sharon and Carol have been trying to break us up. I want you to act like you don't know Zack when you're around Sharon and Carol. Let him in on the plan but not quite yet."
"Er, what?"
"Sorry, I'll take it slow. Summer overheard that Sharon, Carol, and Matt were trying to break Freddy, and I; and Zack and you up. With you too they failed."
Vaneza beamed.
"I didn't know up until an hour ago. Within that one hour Summer and I had thought up a plan that should include all five of us with outside help."
"Are you sure of that plan yet?"
"No but,"
"I'm in,"
"You are? Cool!"
"So where do I begin?"
"I need you to let Zack in on this so he won't get the wrong idea."
"What about Freddy?"
"He won't be in this plan for quite some time." Summer interjected.
"Oh well, what's the plan?"
"This is basically what's going to happen, you fool them into thinking that you hate each other and we do the same. We lure them into a trap where they will be publicly humiliated."
"That's all?"
"No. It's more complicated than that. We just haven't worked out the second part yet."
"Oh, okay. Well, that's a basically good plan."
"Glad you think so. Well, let's do this?"
"Oh yeah."
