"No he won't! He likes some other girl, and she's really lucky! I want to be her right now! She's probably smarter than me, and prettier, too!" Zoey shouted into her pillow.

"No she's not, Zoey. No one will ever be smarter, prettier, nicer, funnier, or as fun as you. Chase is an idiot," Nicole said in a best-friend like voice. She didn't know that Zoey wanted to be her, and neither did Zoey. Zoey didn't say anything after that, she just sobbed. Nicole's face lit up and she stood up. "I'll be right back!" And with that, Nicole sprinted out of the room. She ran down the hall, down the stairs, out the door, and towards the student store. She would buy Zoey a goo pop. She loved those things, after she had gotten used to eating them, and not having them all over her face. Nicole laughed at the thought. That was how Zoey got the jukebox in the lounge to replace the radio that never worked. Upon approaching the student store, Nicole slowed down and walked in. She rushed over to the counter, and looked at the goo pops. She grabbed five of Zoey's favorite flavor, orange. She looked up to see the cashier adjusting the back packs Zoey made. Nicole smiled at that too. "Five goo pops, please," Nicole said orderly and handed him five dollars. There was no change to be given back to her, for goo pops were a dollar each. And with that, Nicole sprinted all the way back to the dorm room. She was just about to open the door when...

"Hey, Nicole," Chase called from down the hall. Nicole turned around and saw him. She waved, and he sped up to stand by her. "Can I come in?" Nicole looked nervously from Chase to the door, thinking of how Zoey would feel if Chase saw her like that.

"Umm, no..." Nicole said, trying to come up with an excuse. Chase looked somewhat disappointed.

"Well, why not?" He asked, hoping that she would reconsider. He would love being in a room alone with Nicole, but she didn't know that.

"Because... Zoey doesn't feel well! I mean, she's vomiting, so I was just out to get some medicine to make her feel better!" Nicole said quickly. Chase looked at the candy that Nicole was holding.

"Goo pops?" He asked. Nicole smiled nervously.

"Uhh... gotta go bye!" Nicole's words were rushed and she ran into the room, slamming the door behind her. Chase shrugged and walked back down the hall. What a waste of effort.

"He was out there?" Zoey asked. She was now sitting up. Nicole examined Zoey's face. Her eyes were red and puffy, and mascara was streaked down her cheeks. Nicole nodded.

"Want some goo?" Nicole asked, holding out all five goo pops. Zoey smiled.

"Thanks. You want one?" Zoey held one out to Nicole, who nodded and snatched it out of her hand. They both bit down and sucked the goo out of the tubes. Nicole felt good, but she realized the five dollars that she had made by her previous bet, that Chase would kiss Zoey before Nine O'clock at night, had been spent on these goo pops.


Dana and Logan were sitting on one of the benches on campus with a blue cushion. It happened to be the exact same bench Chase and Mark Delfigallo had sat on when they set up a fake-date for Mark and Quinn. Logan had his arm around Dana. She was resting her head on his shoulder.

"Last night was nice," She said softly.

"Yeah," Logan said with a smile on his face. His expression changed to fit his brilliant idea. He sat up, making Dana lift her head up and look at him in question. "Wanna make out?" Dana smiled.

"Okay!" she replied hastily, and their lips met.


Michael sat on his chair, frantically playing halo two. He hated Logan. He hated Dana for liking Logan. Why couldn't things just go his way for once? He was always just in the background, never there. It was almost like he was invisible. Nobody had a crush on him. Especially not Dana. But maybe Logan was just using her as a toy. Nah, he wouldn't do that to her. No one could. She was too pretty to do that to. Chase opened the door, and Michael's thoughts stopped. Chase was grinning like an idiot.

"Hey man, why are you so happy?" Michael asked grumpily.

"Oh, nothing, just thinking about Nicole," Chase said, sitting down.

"So you do like her, don't you?" Michael asked. Chase nodded fiercely. "Wow. More than Zoey?"

"Way more than Zoey," Chase said, not making eye contact with Michael.


Dana walked into her Dorm where Nicole and Zoey were.

"Hey," She said airily, as if she was floating.

"Hi," Zoey said rather monotone. Nicole didn't even answer, she was asleep. Trying to comfort Zoey had tired her out, and she didn't want to crawl into her bunk, so she fell asleep next to Zoey. In Zoey's bed, to be more specific.

"So, how are you feeling?" Dana asked, sounding like she cared for once.

"I'm tired. I'll just go to bed now," Zoey said, and crawled over to her spot, pulled herself under the sheets, and set her head on the pillow. Dana assumed Zoey was asleep before her head touched it. Dana shrugged and crawled into her own bed as well. It was only seven o'clock, and the three girls would sleep well tonight.
