Dustin and Max sat at a table in the campus outside with an umbrella shading them.
"So you get it?" asked Dustin.
"Um-" Max began.
"Do you get it?" Dustin repeated.
"No. I'm not as good at math as you are. Hello this is my first day!" Max said.
"True. But lemme tell you Mr. Kirby gives mean math tests. And I mean, mean!" Dustin said.
"Ok then." said Max. He was getting bored but he didn't want to hurt Dustin's feelings so he said nothing.
Dustin starts writing with his mechanical pencil. The lead breaks.
"Darn it," Dustin said, "that was all my lead."
"I forgot mine at Kirby's classroom, sorry Dustin." Max said.
"Ah it's okay. We'll go get a mechanical pencil from Zoey's dorm room." said Dustin.
"What do you mean 'we'? I'm no baby!" Max said.
"Fine. I was just trying to prevent you reliving Prank Week." Dustin said, he started to walk away when Max looks back and sees a bunch of kids led by Logan armed with water balloons.
"On second thought-I'll go with you, just to keep you company. I'm not scared of a little water. No, no, no." Max shrugged and he got up and started walking to Zoey's room with Dustin.
Meanwhile, Logan ran off with Michael to their dorm.
"Any weed-rat who can escape the Loganster is worth getting." Logan said to Michael.
"Why are you trying to get the new kid anyway? I mean Dustin is a pretty cool kid and he'd know if Max was bad or not." Chase said from the bunk bed.
"You goody-goody two shoes." Logan said. He lifted up a piece of parchment that had red pen marks everywhere.
"Why all the red pen?" asked Chase.
"Mr. 'Loganster' had problems spelling 'it', and other easy words." Michael laughed.
"'it'? It's like the easiest word ever!" Chase laughed.
"Hey! A guy whose totally sexy and hot and has really fine biceps and muscles shouldn't be reading books like you losers." Logan said.
"Since when are you sexy?" asked Chase.
"Since Zoey ALMOST kissed me." Logan said.
"She didn't kiss you, she ALMOST did. Don't let it go to your head or you'll be handing out towels are the YMCA when you're fifty because you can't afford any other job because you didn't read. And that would suck." Chase said.
"That WOULD suck." Michael repeated Chase.
"Whatever." Logan said.
Finally, Max and Dustin reached Zoey's dorm room. Dustin knocked on the door.
"GO AWAY LOGAN!" yelled Dana from inside.
"Uh Dana it's Dustin." Dustin said.
Dana opened the door. "Dustin? Oh. I thought you were the rat, Logan. He's been trying to make out with me all week. It's SO annoying." Dana said. "So who's the new blondie?" she added. They boys walked in.
"I'm Max." Max said nervously.
"So I guess Zoe's not around right?" asked Dustin.
"No trying to straighten out Nicole. Nicole's dad's job is going to her head." Dana explained. "He owns a juice company. Nicole Sunshine Juice."
"Nicole Sunshine Juice? That stuff is crappy." said Dustin.
"Yeah." Dana agreed.
"Whatever you say-uh-I guess." Max said, sweating.
"I'll just get her mechanical pencil anyway. I'm sure she won't mind. See ya Dana. C'mon Max." Dustin said, getting a mechanical pencil from Zoey's nightstand and exiting the room.
From inside, Dana yelled, "BYE BLONDIES!".
"Whoa." Max said in the hallway.
"She scared you that much?" laughed Dustin.
"No-" Max said.
"What?" asked Dustin.
"She-she-she's my idol! My dream girl, my love!" said Max.
"DANA? You're kidding right?" asked Dustin.
"How could I joke about such a pretty girl?" asked Max.
"Oh great. What have I gotten myself into now?" asked Dustin, throwing his head into his hands.
