Ch. 3
Chase looked at Zoey from head to toe. He thought she looked drop dead gorgeous. Of course, she'd never tell her that.
"Zoe..you look...so...beautiful." Chase finally got out.
"And you Chase...you are a handsome devil. Well are you ready to go to the dance?"
"Yep...lets go!"
And with that, Chase and Zoey left to go to the dance...little did they know that someone was following them.
'We'll see who gets who in the end.'
Meanwhile...Dana got ready as she waited for her so called secret admirer. She was decked out in a black crop top with silver butterfly designs in it, and denim pants, with black boots. Her hair was done in loose curls, and had siler butterflies in each ear. As Dana was putting the finishing touches on her make-up...she heard a knock on the door.
"Just a minute..." Dana called out.
A few minutes later...she opened the door, but saw noone there. Something on the floor caught her eye and she bent over to pick it up. It was a letter addressed to her. She opened it up and it read,
Sweet Dana,
I know you were probly waiting for me in your room, but I want you to see me as my self in a very special spot under the moonlight. After all is said and done, I'm hoping you will accompany me to the dance. Hope to see you here at the beach which is where I will be waiting.
(hopefully) Forever Yours,
Secret Admirer
Dana was left speechless. She crossed out one of the likely candidates in her mind, which was Logan Reese.
'And I was hoping it was Logan too. I mean, he acts just like me, but I can see down into those chocolate eyes of his, that he wants me really bad. Hmm, well might as well not keep this mystery guy waiting long enough.'
Back at the dance...
"Ok PCA the first song of the night will be a slow one! And it will be...The Reason! By Hoobastank." Announced the D.J.
"Zoey...I was wondering, since it is a slow song and all..." Chase left off.
"Of course I'll dance with you." Zoey finished.
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue to learn
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I have found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something that I must live with everyday
And all the pain that I put through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
Chase was thinking about the words and wondered if they really applied to him.
'Is Zoey my reason? Can she really change who I am? Cause I would do anything in the world for her. Anything.'
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
As the song ended, Chase leaned in to kiss Zoey for the first time, when they were interupted by Jason.
"Excuse me...Zoey?"
"Yes?" Zoey asked politely.
"May have atleast one dance with you?"
Zoey looked over at Chase as if permission. Chase grumbled a bit (silently) before answering.
"Sure Zoey, go ahead, if you wanna dance with me anymore, then i'll be in the back." Chase said reluctantly.
"Are you sure Chase?" Zoey asked, as if not wanting to leave his side.
"Sure, go ahead."
Zoey left to go dance with Jason...
Back with Dana...
Dana locked up the room, and headed down to the beach so she could see her mystery guy. Before she set foot on beach, she saw a lone figure pacing back and forth. Tryin to appear not nervous, even though we all know she is, she walked slowly and tapped the guy on the shoulder. As soon as she turned around, a slow almost faint sound came to her face.
Zoey and Jason were dancin to one of the fast beat songs, when Jason offered to get her something to drink.
"Sure that would be nice..." 'And while he's gone, I'm gonna get that kiss from Chase Matthews...' Zoey finished her thought.
Zoey wandered around aimelessly to look for Chase, when she bumped into Nicole.
"Oh, hey Nicole." Zoey started.
"Hi, how's you and Chase?"
"Well...I would know that if I can find Chase...on the other hand, I'm fine."
"Oh, was it that really cute guy...umm...Jason?"
"Yea, hey I thought you liked Mitchell?"
"I do, doesn't mean I can't think other guys like Jason is hot too."
"Point taken...Well, I'm gonna go find Chase."
"O.k, don't make out too much!" Nicole teased.
"Hey!" Zoey giggled.
"Later." Said Nicole, leaving.
Zoey walked around the dance floor, looking for Chase when she saw him standing by himself at the punch table.
"Hey there good-looking..." Zoey said, playfully.
"Well you dont look to bad your self..." Chase said blushing.
"Aww...did I just make Chase blush?"
"Maybe..."
"Lets go outside and get some fresh air..." Zoey suggested.
"O.k sure..."
Zoey and Chase looked around to find a secluded spot to just talk when Zoey quickly grabbed his hand, making Chase blush even more.
"Uhh...Zoey?"
"You dont mind do you?"
"No...not at all."
Back with Dana...
The guy that she saw made her smile, but quickly changed into a smirk, when she realized it was the last guy she least expected to be standing here before her, while holding a beautiful yellow rose with orange coloring mixed in.
"Logan...you were the last perosn I least expected." Dana said...smirking.
"Uhhh...Dana...umm..." Logan studdered.
"Studdering are we...how come its a yellow rose? and not a red one like all the others?"
"Because you're not like the others...this rose is different because it resembles the firey spirit I like about you."
Dana was left speechless...meanwhile...Logan was leaning in a bit closer...
"Umm...Logan what are you doing?"
"Wanna makeout?"
"Ugh...not with you!"
"I'm sorry Dana...that was..." Too late...Dana took off with the rose, and ran straight to her dorm.
'Why would she take off with the rose, and not throw it back in my face...' Then Logan realized why...
Zoey and Chase...
It was a nice night out, and Zoey was leaning her head against Chase's shoulder.
"Zoey, can I tell you something?" Chase started.
"Sure...anything..."
"Well...ummm...I really lo...lov...love you..." Chase ended in a whisper.
Zoey turned around, eyes sparkling under the moon's gracious presence, and leaned in to kiss him softly on the lips.
As soon as the dance was over, Nicole and Mitchell was in a passionate lip-lock.
"Your a great kisser Nicole...can I walk you back to your dorm?" Mitchell asked.
"Sure."
Chase walked Zoey, like a gentleman, back to her dorm.
"Thanks for everything, Chase."
"No, thank-you."
Chase gave Zoey one last kiss goodnight. When Zoey closed her door, Chase began walking back to the boy's dorm. He was suddenly stopped.
"So...where do you think you're going lover boy?"
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"Who do you think...it's me Jason."
"Well...what do you want?"
"I want Zoey, and you to be out of the picture."
"But she already chose me."
"Well...I guess we'll have to step up a few things."
And with that being said, he beat the living daylights out of Chase. Leaving him there bruised and battered.
"And if you dont get out of the picture soon, I will make sure you get one of these everyday, and maybe a bonus to your little girl-friend."
"Don't you dare hurt Zoey!" As soon as Chase said that, he passed out on the cold, hard ground.
