"Chase?" Zoey was alone with Chase in her dorm room. Nicole and Dana were getting their nails done, and Michael was eating an early dinner. They had, of course, planned this, so then something could happen that would spark a conversation between them at lunch the next day when Chase was going to tell Zoey his feelings for her. It was just Chase and Zoey, sitting in her dorm room.
"Yeah, Zoey?" Chase was getting antsy with excitement.
"Well...I was wondering...everyone kept on saying that you needed to tell me something. What is it?" Zoey was driving herself up the wall wanting to hear those three words come out from his lips: 'I like you.'
"Oh! Well you see... I really wanted to say something to you. This morning, you know, at brunch, and then, well, I almost told you when we were planning out this whole thing, but, somethings are better left unsaid, you know?" Chase was stalling as hard as he possibly could.
"No, I don't know," Zoey returned, "and I would like to." She scooted closer to him. Chase stood up quickly. "I don't know about you, but I'm thirsty. How about some sparkling apple juice?" Zoey sighed deeply.
"Sure," She replied airily and stood up as well. She walked over to the couch. Chase sat down next to Zoey, handing her a glass.
"So, uh, after this, you wanna cruize around campus on your jet-x's?" Chase spoke after a long, akward silence.
"Let's go!" Zoey sat up, speaking quickly and energetically. Chase was startled by her sudden perkiness, but shook it off and stood up too.
"Are you sure Nicole won't mind that I'm using her Jet-X?" Chase asked nervously. Zoey was sitting on hers and Chase was sitting on Nicole's.
"Oh, calm down, Nicole doesn't care, she hardly uses it anyways," Zoey answered happily.
"Okay, but as long as she doesn't get mad," Chase added. Zoey let out a quiet snicker.
"Whatever. Come on, let's go!" Zoey said excitedly, sounding rushed.
"Where to?"
"Doesn't matter," Zoey said and started riding off. Chase followed.
"I bet you they're kissing now," Nicole said, looking over at Dana.
"And I bet you they're not," Dana countered, "You've already lost five dollars, would you care to lose some more?"
"Well, I still think they are," Nicole said, ignoring Dana's last comment. "I like that job you're getting on your toes. What color is it?"
"It's called Lilac," Dana said, pulling out a bottle, "I brought it myself." Nicole rolled her eyes.
"Here it is," Zoey said contently, getting off her Jet-X.
"The beach?" Chase asked, sounding somewhat bored. He got off his Jet-X.
"I'm sorry, but I think it's amazing. I'm not used to it," Zoey said, staring at the waves crashing on the shore.
"Well, I guess it loses its magic if you've been here as long as I have," Chase grinned at Zoey, who was still looking at the water.
"Let's go!" Zoey said, for what seemed like the millionth time today. She began running towards the sand, and Chase ran after her until they were both tired, sitting down on the warm sand. "Isn't it the coolest?" Chase kept on looking at Zoey, thinking about whether or not he should tell her now. He moved a little closer to her now.
"About that thing I was going to tell you that you really wanted to know," Chase began, and Zoey's eyes tore away from the ocean to him.
"Yeah?" She asked. He finally had her attention.
"Well, Like I was saying before Elvis got taken away,"I really...really-" Chase was cut off by Zoey's Cell Phone Ringing. Zoey blushed with embarassment and answered it.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Zoey, Where are you? Class starts in five minutes!" Nicole shouted from the other line.
"Class? Oh, shoot!" Zoey stood up as quickly as she could.
"Yeah! I'm already here, I walked because My Jet-x is-"
"Being used by Chase right now. We'll be over as soon as possible!" Zoey said and hung up. Chase looked at her.
"You have class? I thought we didn't have any for the rest of the day!" Chase asked.
"Neither did I, but I'm not taking any chances," Zoey sprinted over to her Jet-X and Chase did the same. They rode back to their dorms and got to class from there.
