"Okay, so, we'll take this dog, and be on our way," Chase said happily, grabbing Elvis.

"Have a nice day," the clerk said, and Zoey smiled and waved good-bye to him. Zoey now looked at Chase. It was five thirty. She had read all the fine print in the adoption papers, just in case. So, it took them an extra hour. And now they would ride the bus for a half hour. What a great day it had been. Although, there was one thing missing. Chase was supposed to tell her something. That something that had kept her from sleeping Thursday night. That something that rattled her brain. That something that was much harder to say than it was to think. And She was ready to ask him again.

"Chase," Zoey began, "will you tell me now?"

"Well, Zoey, I'm not...really...ready..." Chase was cut off by Zoey's hand covering his mouth. "Mmph!"

"Shh! Chase, it's the principal again," Zoey whispered, pointing to the man sitting in the back of the bus. "Cover Elvis, and don't let him see us!" Chase nodded and wrapped Elvis up in his sweatshirt. Zoey scooted closer towards him. She put her head on his shoulder, placing it at an angle so the principal couldn't see, and Chase rested his head on hers. Zoey smiled, and Chase could feel it on his shoulder. After what seemed like a long, bumpy ride, the bus stopped across the street from the campus. The principal walked by them, and the two stood up carefully. Zoey ran the rule through her head. In no circumstances should a PCA student leave the campus, with the exception of an emergency such as a fire, earthquake, ect. She had learned this from the handbook that had fallen out of Coco's pocket when she took Elvis from them for the second time. Chase grabbed Zoey's hand with his free hand and squeezed it, pulling her in his direction. She followed.

"I know a way around the principal's office where we can get back to my dorm," Chase said, and Zoey nodded silently. They went around, for a long, long time. They squeezed through crowds, they walked down dark paths, they ran through buildings, and finally arrived at Chase's dorm, where they set Elvis down and relaxed. Just then, Chase's cell phone rang. "Yeah?" Chase answered his phone. It was Michael.

"Did you tell her yet?"

"No. We have Elvis in our dorm, though."

"Is she with you?"

"Yeah," Chase said, not finding the point.

"Tell her!"

"Oh! Yeah, I will."

"Good." Michael hung up and Chase put his phone away. He glanced at the clock. It was almost eight.

"Who was it?" Zoey asked curiously.

"It was Michael." Zoey blinked for a moment.

"Oh," She replied after thinking. "Sorry for interrupting you," Zoey apologized.

"Well, the principal didn't see us, right?" Chase smiled, making Zoey do the same. He loved seeing her smile. "So where was I?"

"You were saying, you really weren't ready," Zoey said, sitting down on his bed.

"I'm ready now," Chase said, surprised at how smoothly that came out. He sat next to her.

"So," Zoey looked at Chase wondrously, "what is it?"

"Zoey, I'm sure you probably have figured it out already, but, I really... really..." Chase couldn't do it. He had the perfect opportunity to do it, and he couldn't. There were no interruptions, and He was right next to her! He couldn't believe this! Why wouldn't his mouth let the stupid words out?

"Yeah..." Zoey commented, urging him to go on.

"Zoey...I just...I can't say it," Chase said.

"You can try," Zoey really wanted to hear those words.

"Zoey, what I'm trying to say is, that you're my best friend that's a girl," Chase said, swallowing hard, "but I want it to be more..." Zoey couldn't take it anymore.

"Chase?" She stopped him.

"What?" He was mad that they kept on getting interrupted. Was the world out to get him or something?

"I like you too," She said slyly, "as more than just a friend." Chase's eyes widened.

"Y...You do?" The words were coming out more easily now.

"Of course I do!" Zoey said. After that, there was a long, awkward pause. Zoey glanced at the clock. It was eight fifty.

"Zoey, that's what I've been trying to say the entire day," Chase said, finally finding the right words.

"I figured that out after the fifth time I asked you," Zoey said, and Chase laughed.

"It's not as easy as you make it seem, though. I was starting to think, that maybe you didn't like me."

"Chase, how could I reject you?" Zoey asked, scooting a little closer to him.

"I don't know, there are a lot of reasons why, really, like..." but Chase never finished his sentence due to the fact that Zoey's lips were pressed up against his. They pulled apart. Chase looked at the clock. It was eight fifty-nine. Chase smiled after getting out of his state of shock. "Can we do that again?" Zoey snickered and nodded. While they were kissing, Logan walked in.

"What the heck is wrong with-" Logan was cut off by Zoey throwing a pillow at him. He walked over to the two and pushed them apart. "What are you two doing?"

"Something that you couldn't get Zoey to do willingly," Chase replied easily. Elvis barked happily, forcing Logan to jump.

"How he-" Logan was interrupted, yet again. This was not his day.

"Chase took me to the animal shelter. Can you leave now? It's a lot harder to enjoy this with a big jerk like you hanging around," Zoey insulted Logan. He raised an eyebrow, opening his mouth to speak.

"And could you get a breath mint, too, Logan?" Chase asked, standing up. "Come on, Zoey." Zoey stood up and waved at Logan, who stood in shock. The door closed behind the two lovebirds, and Logan turned to Elvis.

"Do you hate me too?" Logan asked, and Elvis ran at him, snarling, forcing Logan to hurry up to his bunk bed in fear.


"Ha! Ha Ha HA!" Nicole said. "I won the be-et! I won the be-et!" Nicole sang, doing a dance around Dana.

"Okay, We get it, here's your money, now shut up!" Dana said, shoving a five dollar bill into Nicole's stomach.

"So, are you two, uh, going out now?" Michael questioned. Zoey looked at Chase, who looked back.

"I guess we are," Chase said happily. There was a knock on the door.

"Open up! It's the DA!" A voice from the other side shouted. The door opened, revealing, who else, but Coco. "Boys? After eight? Out!" Coco ordered. Chase waved goodbye to Zoey and walked out with Michael. Coco took a sip of her water, checked under Dana's bed, and walked out, without a word. After the girls couldn't hear her footsteps anymore, Nicole ran over to Zoey, grabbed her hands, and screamed.

"He kissed you! I can't believe he kissed you!" Nicole shouted excitedly.

"Why are you so surprised? You made the bet?" Dana asked, getting into her bed.

"Well, it's still exciting," Nicole said happily.

"Actually, Nicole, I kissed him," Zoey said, with a proud smile. She yawned. Nicole screeched.

"Way to go Zoey!" Nicole said.

"Yeah, I'm kinda tired now, though, we can talk in the morning, right?" Zoey said, partially because she didn't really feel like talking, and also because she was actually pretty tired.

"Okay, but you have to tell us every single detail, okay?" Nicole asked, climbing onto her bunk.

"Alright, good night Nicole and Dana," Zoey said, crawling into her bed.

"Night," Nicole said. Dana was already asleep. Nicole felt good. Not only had she helped two of her good friends hook up, but she was also five dollars richer.
