Chapter Three: Getting Ready
Hi! I know, I know, my chapter names suck! But oh well… I got a lot of great reviews. A lot of you are probably wondering why chapter two is the same as chapter one? I don't know why. My computer did it I think ;). No I confess, I made a mistake, I accidentally added on chapter one for chapter two instead of the right chapter. Chapter three is chapter two, and chapter four is chapter three. Here it is:
"What are you so happy about?" Nicole asked, as she combed out her hair.
"Jason Walsh just asked me out!" Zoey squealed, falling onto her bed with happiness.
"That was fast," Dana snorted. "A little too fast." Dana's eyebrows raised and then she exchanged looks with Nicole. "It reminds me of…"
"Logan!" Nicole helped Dana fill in the blank.
Zoey scrunched up her nose and gave them a look. "No one can be as A) pushy B) self-absorbed or C) rude!" Zoey turned down her covers. "You can pick any of the three," She informed them.
"Okay, so maybe Logan is a little worse than Jason, but just a little." Dana's brown eyes twinkled as she dragged a brush through her caramel-colored curls.
Nicole couldn't help but laugh. "You guys this is silly, we should be happy for Zoe."
"Yeah, you should be happy for me!" Zoey acted mock angry. She then broke into a funny face and whacked Dana over the head with a pillow.
Dana bit her lip so her smile wouldn't spread across her face. She had to giggle. Then she scowled. "Oh you're so funny Zoey!" She scolded.
Nicole forced her body over to the bathroom to shower. "Stop fighting, my ears can't take it." Nicole teased, stifling a big yawn that shoved its way to the front of her mouth.
Zoey nodded and thought about her day tomorrow. Sunday! That would have to be her new favorite day. Her old favorite day, Friday, would have to be second favorite from now on. Zoey thought. She smiled as she shuffled to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Zoey slept in late by accident. Nicole and Dana were both still sleeping, and the alarm clock had come un plugged when one of them had gotten up in the middle of the night. Zoey screamed into her pillow. It came out all muffled, so Nicole and Dana couldn't hear her.
She jumped out of bed and checked the clock ticking on the wall. 10:30! She groaned and jumped into the restroom, sighing with thoughts of being late for lunch floating through her head.
After Zoey showered, she brushed her teeth, put her hair into a totally cute style, and perfectly applied some make-up. All in record time! Zoey glanced down at the outfit she had thrown on. It was a peach-colored tank top, denim capris, and black, chunky sandals.
"Bye! I'm heading out!" Zoey waved as she popped in a few breath mints.
Nicole yawned loudly and stretched in bed. "Where are you going Zoe?" She questioned, as her hand automatically reached for her hairbrush. Nicole had a habit of combing her hair until it was perfect first thing in the morning.
"Yeah…where?" Dana's voice was so muffled against her pillow, Zoey barely heard her.
"You guys know it's my big day with Jason!" Zoey planted her hands on her hips. Nicole shrugged up in bed and rubbed her eyes in response.
Zoey checked her watch: 12:45. I have only 15 minutes! Zoey warned herself. She pushed a few strands of hair out of her chestnut brown eyes.
"See you guys," Zoey called as she put on her necklacekey and strode out the door.
"Zoey! Wait!" Nicole squeaked. She was trembling!
"What's up?" Zoey was concerned.
"Yeah, what?" said Dana.
"I'm scared." Nicole said.
Zoey's eyebrows shot up. Scared?
"And why are you scared?" Zoey inquired, getting a little impatient. She really couldn't be late for this date!
"Well, this is your first date here at PCA right?" Nicole asked slowly. Zoey nodded her head yes.
"So, I'm nervous people will get the impression you're a rich snob. Only holding out for the rich and fame type," Nicole admitted. "I just don't want my very best friend here to be shunned by the others."
That sounded so funny it made Zoey burst into laughter. "Nicole, that's not going to happen," Zoey breathed, between long giggles. Zoey dared a peek at her watch. 12:53!
"Hey, Zoey? Isn't that Jason guy picking you up?" Dana gave Zoey a know-it-all look.
"Oh yeah…" Zoey remembered. She gave a nervous giggle.
Nicole smiled brightly. "Yippee!" She cheered. "Now we can give Zoe…the talk!"
"Um, I've already had that with my mother. It made me throw-up." Zoey informed them, crinkling her nose. "I don't want to throw-up right now!"
Dana gave Zoey the look of death for bringing up such a disgusting topic, but Nicole just laughed, thinking it was a joke.
Zoey looked puzzled. "What's so funny?"
"Not that talk!" Nicole laughed even harder. "The it's-my-first-date-what-do-I-do-since-I'm-freaking-out talk!"
Zoey had never heard of this before. "Nicole, I'm so not freaking out."
Dana rolled her eyes and shuffled out of bed. She headed for the bathroom. "Zoey, look in the mirror. You are so pale, and you reek, probably because you're sweating," Dana rudely remarked, and dove into the restroom to take a shower.
Zoey actually let out a scream. Zoey Brooks aka Miss Calm-Cool-and Collected just screamed! "Please let her be lying!" Zoey shrieked. She spun to face the mirror. She wasn't sweating at all, and her skin was still perfectly tan. Phew!
"It's okay, Dana's just kidding around," Nicole protested. Zoey sprayed on some extra perfume and put on some more deodorant just in case.
Suddenly a knock came from her door. She looked at the time. Exactly 1:00! Zoey loved it when people where right on the dot on time.
Zoey swung open the door. Sure enough, it was Jason Walsh!
That's all for now! Tune in to find out about their date! And how Chase deals with it ;) bye bye
