Chapter Four: The Big Date
Hey ya'll. Thanks for all the awesome reviews. They just keep on coming, and I'm not even getting as flamed as much as I thought I would! Only one person gave me a mean review, but they apologized and said it is getting a lot more suspenseful (name shall remain confidential). And yes, this is a Zoey and Chase love triangle fan fiction. You'll have to wait and see if it has a happy ending or not (mwuhahahahaha!) here's the next part (P.S. sorry for the long awaited up date. I was tricked into getting grounded from the computer ;)):
Zoey strolled down the graveled road and dreamily sighed. She was walking with Jason Walsh to Burger Barn, a local burger hang-out, and she was…yes she… Zoey Brooks…was actually…we're not making this up…holding his hand!
This has to be a dream! Zoey told herself, hoping she wasn't true. If it's a dream than I'll never ever forgive whoever wakes me up. If that dreaded alarm clock rings in my ear, I'm going to smash it against the wall!
"So here we are," Jason smiled. "Burger Barn."
"Yeah, Burger Barn." Zoey nodded and shoved her hands deep into the pockets of her shorts.
'You don't sound very excited. I know it's not the Four Seasons but I haven't been to a fast food joint in years!" Jason looked concerned as they slid into a booth.
"No, it's not that! I guess I have a lot on my mind…" She protested.
Jason scanned the menu. "Oh, I get it. You have another boyfriend you dumped for me."
"No! Jason, I could never hurt anyone like that!" Zoey was appalled he'd think she'd drop a guy in a snap because somebody famous asked her out.
"I wouldn't blame you," Jason smirked. "After all I am pretty dang hot!"
It would have taken a whole lot to convince Zoey that he was kidding. He was acting pretty conceded…like…like…Logan!
"Jason, don't think you can act all smug just because you're famous," Zoey grumbled. "It's actually pretty pathetic."
"Can't you take a joke?" Jason asked, sounding rude.
"Can't you get over yourself?" Zoey demanded.
Jason's jaw dropped. "Joey, don't be pathetic!"
Joey's eyebrows lifted. "I'm being pathetic? I'm out of here."
As Joey slipped out of the booth, Jason realized he had made a terrible mistake. He reached out and pulled on Joey's arm.
"I'm sorry Joey," Jason apologized.
"Sure you are, but I believe in second chances," Joey shrugged.
"What will your order be?" The waitress asked as she approached. She had long, snowy white hair, dazzling blue eyes, and a name tag that read: Katie.
"Hey, Katie Baby." Jason winked, a rather flirty wink.
"Hello," Katie said, not interested.
Joey noticed that even when Katie seemed bored, her voice was still cherry and musical. She was very pretty, and had a nice smile. It was no wonder Jason was falling for her. Joey just thought he wouldn't flirt right in front of her!
"What's wrong babe?" Jason inquired.
"Well, you are probably ten years younger, you are famous which doesn't mix well with normal people, and you are way too short." Katie ticked the facts off her freshly manicured fingernails.
"That didn't stop the last girl from smacking lips with me!" Jason cackled.
"I'm not going to sit here and take this!" Joey narrowed her pretty greenish-brown eyes into irritated slits. She picked up a bottle of ketchup, squirted it on his head, and stormed off. Jason looked baffled, and Katie cracked up.
"What a jerk!" Joey murmured to no one as she kicked a rather large pebble down the PCA walkway. She couldn't believe how Jason had acted, and how he didn't even run after her. When she reached her dorm, she was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. Could it be…?
Zoey spun around, ready to tell of Jason The Jerk, and found herself gazing into Chase's dark eyes. "Hey Zoe, where were you?"
Zoey sheepishly shifted from foot to foot. "Um…I was on a date…"
"With who?" Chase couldn't help but gasp a bit. Zoey was his best friend. He couldn't imagine her going out with somebody else!
Besides…ever since he had first stammered his first sentence to her…he knew she was the one. He was in love with her sparkly attitude, long blonde hair, and dazzling smile. Her eyes always carried warmth in them, and she was a great person as well.
"Jason Walsh," Zoey admitted.
How can I compete with good looks times a thousand and a paycheck of about a trillion rolling in each month? Chase hopelessly thought. "Really?" Chase squeaked. His voice sounded all funny and high-pitched.
"Yeah, but he was such a jerk, that that's the end of our realthionship!" Zoey insisted. She pressed a trembling hand on Chase's shoulder. "He actually didn't seem to care about my feelings."
"The fiend!" Chase acted sympathetic when really he felt ready to explode with happiness! Maybe he still had a chance with his future wife…er…Zoey after all!
Zoey waved good-bye and headed out to share the news with Dana and Nicole.
I'll update soon, I promise! Review please. Try not to flame unless it was TERRIBLY TERRIBLE! Thanks. I had writers block so sorry if it was –in the words of Nicole- suckish!
