-Thanks for all the positive reviews!!! Here's the next chapter!-

Zack got up early. He always got up early, not for any particular reason, it was just his nature. He would be leaving for the beach with Freddy in three days. He realized that he had no swimsuit and decided to run out to the mall to get one. He left a note for his parents and borrowed his mom's Volkswagen Passat.

The car was silver-blue, a special edition color. Zack loved to drive it. He preferred smaller cars, they were easier to handle. He drove to the mall and went to many different stores, looking for a good suit that wasn't too expensive. He had to try six stores before he found a good one that was plain navy blue. He paid for it and decided to browse the rest of the mall for a few minutes. He had money and time. His parents would only worry if he was gone for more than two hours.

He eventually found a new pair of shorts and a new shirt, plus he had gotten a cool The Who sticker for his computer monitor at Hot Topic. He liked to put band stickers around his monitor, and Freddy had started to do it too. He walked out of Hot Topic and right into Tawny. She faked a look of surprise and said, "I can't believe I'm seeing you here today! Thi- second time I've seen you in two days!" Zack felt some suspicion and wondered what she had started to say. It had sounded an awful lot like 'third'. However, he didn't make the connection with the peeping tom of the night before.

Tawny started blabbing on and on about something but Zack didn't hear a word of it. He had tried to zone her out and it was working. He started to walk back to his car and she walked along by his side. Suddenly she stopped him and said, "Are you doing anything this summer?" "Yeah," he said, "going to Tybee Island." Her face broke into a grin and she walked out to the parking lot with him. She stopped at a car parked next to his.

"Oh my God! We parked right next to each other! Fate keeps bringing us together, maybe it's for a reason!"

She winked at him, got in the car, revved up the engine, and let her tires squeal as she left the parking lot. Zack was a bit disgusted. She had tried to hint at the fact that she liked him a lot, more than a lot. And he had picked that up easily. But he wanted nothing to do with her. She wasn't attractive to him at all. And it was a little creepy, how he had bumped into her. Hardly anyone his age went to the mall early in the morning. Only old ladies who power walked through the mall.

He was pondering this and listening to Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple on the radio when he heard the faint chimes of his cell phone's Back in Black ring. he answered it quickly. It was his parents. He assured them that he would be home within five minutes. He put his phone back into the cup holder where it had been before it had rung.

Just as he put it down it rang again. The voice on the other line was strangely unfamiliar, yet familiar. And still it was sort of unfamiliar.

"Hello?"

"Hey!"

"Who is this???"

"It's Tawny."

"How'd you get my number."

"I dunno."

"Well, what do you want?"

"I dunno."

Zack hung up. The phone started to ring again. He didn't answer it this time. Instead, he turned it off. He just hoped there wouldn't be a million voice mails when he turned it back on.

Once he was home, he started to pack for Tybee. He would be there for four days. So he dragged out his suitcase and stuffed the things that he had gotten at the mall plus some more shirts and shorts. He figured out what he was going to wear on the airplane down to Savannah. He had to wear nice stuff because Freddy's mom was a flight attendant and got them free tickets, so they had to represent the airline (a/n believe me, this sucks, I know from experience!).Then he grabbed a small bag and packed a more casual outfit so he could change in a restroom for the short car drive to Tybee Island.

Once he was done with most of his packing, minus toiletries that he would need before he left, he sat on his bed and kind of stared off into space, wondering what to do today. He decided that he would go over o Freddy's house. He dialed the number and talked to Freddy. Then he walked to Freddy's house, since it was only two blocks away.

He was always amazed at how nice Freddy's house was. Sure, is house was nice too, but nothing compared to Freddy's house. It was in Greenwich Village, off Bleecker Street. Zack lived in the Village too, but not in such a nice part. The house was an apartment really, but it was the penthouse. Three floors, an elevator, and a great view of the Village. Freddy's room was on the second story. He had picked the room in particular because he claimed that he could see CBGB from there. Zack and everyone else knew, of course, that this was impossible. CBGB was at least twenty blocks, maybe even thirty, from Freddy's house. But still Freddy held firm onto his claim.

Zack decided to take the elevator. It was old fashioned, and he had to pull a grate shut, then the doors closed and the elevator crept up to the next floor. He didn't bother with knocking on Freddy's door, he just walked in. "Hey," he said. Freddy was laying on the floor on his stomach, flipping through the pages of their school yearbook. "Whatcha doin?" Zack asked. "I was bored," Freddy said, "so I started looking through our yearbook. Look at this picture of Alicia!" They both started cracking up because her picture was simply awful.

Zack looked out the window and tried to glimpse CBGB. Impossible. "you see it?" Freddy questioned. "Nah," Zack replied, "and everyone thinks you're lying."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Well I do see it!"

"Sure."

"If you can't see it then you should feel like a Kentucky Fried Idiot."

"Whatever."

They watched TV for awhile but got bored quickly, so they decided to walk to Katie's house, which was only one block down. And you'll never believe who they bumped into!
