Chase hopped off Zoey's Jet X and gave her a quick kiss goodbye.
"See you later," Zoey said and Chase waved happily. Hurrying into his dorm, he discovered that Logan and Michael were in a serious conversation about Michael and Nicole. As soon as Logan noticed Chase, an evil grin spread across his face.
"So, how was your date with Zoey?" Logan asked in a 'I'm a chick-magnet' tone.
"It was...amazing..." Chase said, plopping himself down on his bed. Logan was already bored with listening to the Love-Sick Chase and went back to his conversation with Michael.
"You know I'm right," Logan said. Chase shuddered at those words. It brought back memories about when Logan had spoken to Chase about his relationship with Zoey.
"Dude, just be quiet, okay? It's not like that," Michael defended himself.
"Yeah, whatever," Logan said snobbishly and continued playing video games. Chase sat up.
"I'm gunna go for a walk," he said suddenly.
"You gunna go see Zoey?" Michael asked.
"No, I just need to be alone," Chase said and headed out the door.
"Something's wrong," Michael thought aloud as the door closed.
"Duh," Logan said and laughed as he won the video game.
Chase walked. He walked to the quad, and it was quite dark out, but he sat down at his table anyways. Chase rested his chin on the table.
"Chase?" Nicole suddenly popped out of nowhere. Chase jumped, and Nicole rushed over to the table. "What are you doing?"
"Thinking," Chase said, looking at Nicole. "What are you doing?"
"Walking around," Nicole answered energetically. "How'd your date with Zoey go? Zoey said that she had an awesome time and you took her to the beach and then I kinda ruined it..."
"That's pretty much what we did. I'm glad she had fun," Chase was surprised that he sounded so upset. He had had an amazing day with Zoey, his girlfriend, yet something seemed as though it was missing. Am I homesick? Chase began listing reasons in his mind as to why he felt so horrible. I could be love sick...but then I would know because all I would be able to think about would be Zoey. What about...just plain old sick? I'm confused... what's wrong with me?
"Something's up," Nicole said, sitting down. "Tell me."
"Nothing's wrong! Why does everybody think something's wrong?" Chase shouted at Nicole. Nicole was taken aback by Chase's anger.
"Do you want to talk to Zoey?" Nicole asked.
"No, I don't wanna hurt her...look, it was nice talking to you, but I gotta go," Chase stood up and began walking back to his dorm.
"Where are you going?" Nicole asked.
"Back to my room, what does it matter?" Chase replied rudely. He didn't know what was going on with him. What if Nicole would tell Zoey? Would she dump me? Would she be mad at me? Chase listed the endless possibilities in his mind.
"Zoey! Zoey!" Nicole shook Zoey violently, attempting to wake her up.
"What?" Zoey said, quite shaken.
"Something's wrong with Chase."
"What kind of wrong?" Zoey sat up. "Is he hurt?"
"No. Well, maybe. I dunno. He's walking around, he sounds really mad," Nicole sat down on Zoey's bed. "You should talk to him."
"What did he say?" Zoey's face filled with concern for her boyfriend.
"He said he didn't want to talk to you, he was afraid he might hurt you," Nicole said in a rush.
"Hurt?" Zoey was confused. She shook her head. "He probably is just going through something," Zoey pushed the weight off her shoulders and laid her head back on her pillow. Nicole shrugged and hopped into bed. She expected Dana to scream at her for shaking the bunk bed, but Dana wasn't there. Nicole looked around questioningly. What was it with this night?
Dana walked down the hall, replaying her moments with Logan in her mind.
"I know how you make you cry," Dana said rudely.
"What are you gunna do? Kiss me?" Logan replied and puckered up.
"You wish!"
"Yeah I do," Logan laughed.
It was cold out. She heard someone behind her. She didn't like being alone. She didn't even know why she was doing this.
"I can take you up to the lake, and we could make out," Logan said to Zoey. Dana didn't show it, but was so mad at Zoey for that.
"I would love to, you know, but it's so hard for a girl to kiss a guy when she's throwing up," Zoey countered. Dana laughed nervously and let out a sigh of relief.
She walked faster. Right, left, right, left. She was looking at her feet, and she didn't notice where she was going.
"Ow!" She shouted in unison with Chase as they collided in front of Chase's dorm.
"What are you doing outside?" Dana asked, standing up.
"I'm going back to my dorm," Chase defended himself. "Why are you in front of my dorm?" Chase asked shortly after he stood up.
"Can you send Logan out here?"
"He's probably sleeping," Chase said, cocking an eyebrow.
"Just do it," Dana pushed Chase to the door. Shortly after he entered, Logan came out.
"What do you want?" He asked with a yawn. Dana took a deep breath.
