Chapter 2: The Roomates Return

Nicole was sitting on her bed thinking how she was going to keep Logan's mouth shut about the incident this morning. It was now 3:00 in the afternoon and the rules were that if you were'nt in your class then you have to stay in your dorm if your sick. It was'nt really the fact the fell down hill, it was the fact that their was a good chance that everyone would find out she wore Care Bear underwear! Everyone excepy Zoey, she told Zoey about all her secrets, no way would she ever trust Dana to keep one of her secrets!

"Why does this always happen to me?", Nicole groaned to herself and heard voices coming down the hallway. The door knob turned and she saw Zoey and Dana together coming in the room.

"Hey Nicole! You feeling better? We figured that since you did'nt show up to class that you were sick", Nicole's best friend Zoey said with a sympathetic smile on her face.

"Yea, cuz you know, a goody-two-shoes like you would never skip class", Dana said with a hateful smile on her face.

"HaHa...very funny Dana!", Nicole said sarcastically."And yes Zoey I feel good right now...because I'm not sick and was'nt sick before."

"You got lost in the closet again?", Dana asked under Nicole in her bunk bed reading a magazine.

"No!", Nicole anwsered angry.

"You mean you actually skipped class?", Zoey asked shocked.

"No, and Geezzz, even if I did would it be THAT big of a suprise?", Nicole asked.

"Uh Yea!", Zoey and Dana said at the same time.

"So why were'nt you here this morning", Zoey asked Nicole while taking out the homework that the teacher told her to give to Nicole for being absent.

"I...can me and you talk about this alone Zoey? Its kinda embarrasing", Nicole asked Zoey.

"Why? Dana won't say anything or tell anyone, right Dana?", Zoey turned toward Dana.

"Hmmm...oh sure...", Dana looked back toward her magazine.

"Ok...Well, I was walking to...correction running to class because I was late thanks to Dana!",Nicole turned toward Dana. Dana just shrugged and went back to reading her magazine.

"Dana...", Zoey looked dissapointly towards Dana.

"What? You know I like to sleep late and its not my falt she takes all year long to get ready for one day of school!", Dana said while still reading her magazine.

Nicole looked like she was ready to throw something at Dana ,but Zoey told her to continue the story.

"Anyways, I was running to class and I knew I would'nt make it in time if I had took the walkway route around to class so I decided to take a short-cut down the hill...", Nicole said turning red.

"And...", Zoey wanted her to continue.

"And I slipped and fell down the hill...into a puddle", Nicole heard giggling from Dana. Dana trying to hide behind her magazine was giggling and then pretended to read her magazine again when Nicole gave her an angry look.

"Oh...", Zoey said trying to hide a smile herself."And then..."

"I was soaking wet from head to toe and then I heard a rip and ripped my pants!", Nicole said.

Dana bursted out laughing. Nicole took one of her pillows and threw it at Dana.

"Its not funny!", Nicole yelled at Dana.

"Dana, come on stop laughing at Nicole, how would you feel if you ripped your pants?", Zoey asked Dana.

"I would hurt anyone who was laughing..", Dana said grimly and returned to reading her magazine.

"Go on Nicole", Zoey edged for her to continue.

"And when I got up...Logan was right behind me and saw the whole thing!", Nicole started to panick again," And he saw my Care Bear underwear and I'm afraid that he'll tell the whole school about it!"

This time Zoey bursted out laughing and Dana joined her.

"Evil!", Nicole cryed out.

"I'm sorry Nicole..hehe", Zoey was trying to stop laughing, "I'm sure someone will humiliate themselves tomorrow and you'll become old new, and Logan will probably forget about you and blackmail them!", Zoey said trying to make her best friend feel better.

"Yea don't worry about it, and if Logan trys anything I'll hurt him", Dana said behind her magazine.

"Thanks you guys...I think...", Nicole said.

"No prob Nicole", Zoey said hugging Nicole. "Wanna go get some sushi and watch some girl try to get plastic surgery to make her face look like Cameron Diaz on TV in the lounge?"

"Sounds like the perfect cure for embarrasment!", Nicole said with a smile.

"Wanna come with us Dana?", Zoey asked Dana.

"Nah! I think I've wasted enough brain cells on TV for a week.", Dana anwsered." But I'll come down later."

"Ok see you then!", Zoey leading Nicole out of thier room.
