"Wait a second, no one else is here," Zoey stated as they walked into an empty classroom. Chase grinned sheepishly. "Did you plan this?"
"No...I...yeah...maybe a little," Chase couldn't lie to Zoey.
"Chase!" Zoey shouted loudly, hitting him on the shoulder.
"Ow! How many times have you hit this shoulder?" Chase yelped in pain.
"No talking!" A voice shouted.
"Class is in session," another voice said.
"Take your seat," A third voice yelled.
"Uhh... Dana, Nicole, Micheal? What's with the whole Classroom thing? Couldn't we just do it in our dorm?" Zoey said, sitting down.
"Can't. The DA's monitoring our room. I can tell," Nicole began, "Wait a minute...how could you tell it was me?" Zoey laughed.
"Who couldn't tell it was you?" she said, still snickering.
"I said no talking!" Dana shouted.
"Welcome to sneaking dogs back on campus 101," Micheal said. He pulled out the overhead and turned it on. There was a map of the area from the Pacific Coast Academy Campus to the animal shelter. Zoey raised her hand immediately. "Yes, Zoey?"
"Isn't there a better name for this?" She asked. Chase restrained his laughter as Michael Rolled his eyes.
"Wow," Zoey said, laying next to Chase on his bed, "Who knew that class would be so hard?"
"Tomorrow we have to take a test," Chase said, "So that we're ready for it on Saturday."
"Uggh!" Zoey let out a groan of frustration. "A test?"
"You know Michael and Nicole, they can get carried away sometimes," Chase said.
"Wanna help me study?" Zoey asked. Chase smiled again.
"Sure!" He said, sitting up.
"But first.." Zoey said and Chase's smile turned into a straight face, "you have to tell me what you were going to say!" Chase groaned.
"Do I have to?" He asked, annoyed.
"Yes," Zoey said seriously.
"Okay, fine," Chase took a deep breath. "Well, you see... I really really really really..." Chase leaned closer to Zoey, who returned the gesture. Their faces were just inches apart. He could feel the warmth of her breath. "I really li-" Chase was cut off by the door opening and Logan walking in.
"Zoey? What is she doing in our dorm?" Logan asked snobbishly. Chase and Zoey jerked apart. "Zoey! I'm ashamed!" He shouted dramatically. "You won't make out with me, but you will kiss Chase? I'm insulted!" Zoey blushed feircely.
"Logan!" Chase shouted angrily, "Get out!" Chase pointed towards the door. Logan was surprised by the tone of Chase's voice and did as he was told. He backed away slowly and closed the door behind himself. "Zoey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"
"I gotta go. You can tell me later, okay?" Zoey cut Chase off. Before he could say anything, Zoey ran out the door.
"Oh...O...kay..." Chase said quietly.
"You ALMOST KISSED?" Nicole shouted energetically. Zoey blushed.
"Yeah... but then Logan came in and said all this stuff. It was really embarassing, so I left," Zoey said quickly.
"You left?" Dana asked loudly.
"Yeah..." Zoey replied meekly.
"Why?" Both Nicole and Dana yelled at the same time.
"Because... Oh, I don't know! I was so embarrased! It was really akward, and he yelled," Zoey said, finishing her sentence quietly.
"At you?" Nicole fired another question.
"No, at Logan. I've never seen him so mad. It was really scary," Zoey said. Dana and Nicole just looked at each other and blinked.
"But you still like him, right?" Dana asked, hopeful that their plan wouldn't go down the drain.
"Yeah, yeah, of couse I do, it was just...different. He's never sounded that way. It was kinda freaky," she said. Dana let out a sigh of relief. Nicole blinked blankly.
"Dude, you almost kissed her!" Michael raised his voice. "But what prevented you from actually kissing?"
"Logan," Chase said, letting out a long groan. "He messes up everything. And then she ran out!"
"I'm sure she was just really embarrased. I mean, wouldn't you be embarrased if you were making out with someone and then another person walked in?" Michael tried to comfort Chase.
"Yeah, I guess. I was just so...close. I want to get closer," He said. Michael smiled.
"You'll get there. Zoey's not the kind of girl that would just run off from you. She'll come back and apologize. Make your move there," Michael smiled as he said this. Chase smile too.
"Yeah, you're right. Thanks, man!" Chase said, standing up.
"Anytime."
