Chapter 30- 2 Sexy 4 U, Part 2

"Two dozen roses please," Sawyer said handing the vendor some cash.

His mom Meredith was staring down at his right leg which was in a cast, and the crutches underneath his arm. "Honey, I don't know how you came out so lucky with just a few broken bones,"

Sawyer accepted the change back with his free hand. He tucked it in the pocket's of his khaki shorts, and then used his crutches to hold him up as he leaned forward to take the roses.

"Let me help you," Meredith offered gently taking the roses out of his hand.

"Uh…thanks mom,"

"No problem," She said ruffling her son's blonde hair.

Sawyer pulled away, "Mom, come on, where on the street."

Meredith sighed, "How often does a parent have their child run over?"

"I'm sure it happens at least ten times a day,"

Meredith frowned, "You don't know how frantic I was when I got that call from the Dean, I thought…" She paused and placed her hand to her mouth.

"All that matters is that I am fine," Sawyer said with a smile.

"Yes, you're right. So who are the flowers for?"

"My girlfriend,"

Meredith nodded in approval, "It seems as if going to PCA has boosted your love life,"

Sawyer blushed. The last thing he wanted to do was talk about his love life with his mom.

"Well not boosted…the girls' have always loved you,"

Sawyer waited for his mom to open the car door for him. "Thanks mom,"

"No problem," She said crisply.

Sawyer was glad that his mom was used to his injuries…because he hated when people treated him like a cripple. He liked to do things on his own.

As his mom started the car, he quickly turned to a rock station.

His mom frowned, "You know I enjoy my classics,"

"But I don't…You'll like the Goo Goo Dolls, and The Killers,"

Meredith's eyes widened, "The Goo…Goo…Dolls? And the Killers? Oh my, are they satan worshiping…"

Sawyer rolled his eyes, "No, just listen to them mom, and please hurry up and get me back to PCA,"

Meredith frowned, "I don't see why you can't come home for a day, your little sister Madison is worried to death,"

"I'll talk to Maddy when I get home…how about I go home next weekend?"

Meredith nodded, "Okay, and if you want to you can bring Meadow,"

Sawyer scowled, "Meadow?"

Meredith looked back at Sawyer surprised. "Oh…I'm sorry,"

"The girl I am going out with now is named Zoey,"

"She's a beautiful girl, but what happened to Meadow she was so nice when…"

"We grew apart mom, let's just leave it at that."

Meredith focused her eyes on the stoplight in front of her, and gently tapped the breaks."I'm sure Zoey…I got her name right, will be happy to see you."

"And I'll be happy to see her," Sawyer replied placing his forehead against the window, and watching as countless signs to Hollywood passed by. Hopefully Meadow didn't show up.

"Chase woah," Zoey said.

Chase bent down to pick up the clipboard she had dropped, and she bent down as well. Their heads bumped.

Zoey blushed for being so stupid. She had seen Chase go down to get the clipboard but yet, she went down anyways.

Chase reached for the clipboard and handed it to Zoey. He was fighting the instinct to ask Zoey if his newly shaven look was bad.

"Thanks Chase," Zoey took the clipboard from Chase and wrapped it in her arms, holding it close to her body.

Chase stared back at her with a wide smile, and then nervously looked down. He didn't know what she was thinking! He placed his hands over his short hair, which was close enough without leaving him bald, or his scalp showing.

"Can I?" Zoey asked prying one arm away from her clipboard.

Chase took a deep breath. He had no idea what she was asking, but he nodded anyway.

Zoey was staring back at his new haircut as if it were a work of art by Van Gogh. She hesitated for a second and then ran her hands over his short hair. She giggled as the friction created by rubbing her hand over his hair created a prickly sensation.

"It's cute, I love it,"

"You do?" Chase asked relieved.

Zoey nodded, "You look older, more mature."

"Like in college?"

Zoey playfully pushed his shoulder back, "Not the old,"

"Oh,"

"Is that Chase?" Nicole asked walking over to Zoey and Chase in a pink and black two piece bathing suit with a small white bow tied in front.

"Hey Nicole,"

Nicole did a wolf whistle.

Zoey's eyes widened.

"Chase, upgrade," Nicole replied giving him a thumbs up.

Zoey tilted her head to the side as she stared back at Chase. Definite upgrade. "You look tanner too?"

Chase blushed, "Skyler said I was too pale, so she confiscated some of Logan's sunless tanners and she made me put in on all over,"

"All over," Nicole teased with a suggestive wink.

Zoey gasped, and then laughed.

Chase looked down embarrassed , "You got a nasty mind, no not all over,"

"Did you do this for the fashion show or for other reasons…because tanning is definitely not you." Zoey said, even though she was finding Chase's tan enjoyable to look at with his new haircut.

Nicole placed her hands to Chase's arm.

"What are you doing?" Chase asked.

"Amazing, whenever I use the sunless tanners, I always end up getting the Zebra stripes and looking like I belong in the grasslands somewhere…or is that the tropical forest?"

"I think Logan got his sunless tanner from some expensive store on Rodeo drive," Chase explained.

"Ohh, how do you know?" Nicole asked curiously.

"Because it was still in the bag with the receipt when Skyler, and Michael opened it, and gave it to me."

Zoey stared back at Chase in amusement, "Logan's going to be mad."

"Hey Sexy," Meadow said to Chase as she walked over to them in a tight white bikini showing off her long legs, and cleavage.

Zoey raised an eyebrow, "I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be wearing something else."

"Like what the orphan Annie one piece that looks like it was fit for Shamu on the rack?" Meadow argued.

"Is that the first outfit of the three that say's your name?" Zoey asked as politely as possible.

Meadow scoffed, "Yeah, but it's ugly,"

Zoey bit her lip in order to control her frustration. At that moment she realized that Meadow had just called Chase sexy, why was she flirting with him.

"Chase, can I borrow you for a second?" Meadow asked batting her eyelashes at him.

"Um…"

Meadow linked her arm's in his, "It'll be quick I promise. A quickie…ha ha,"

Zoey rolled her eyes. When Chase got back, she had to tell him not to talk to Meadow.

"What a witch," Nicole replied.

"Replace the W with a B, and you got her. Okay, I have to make sure everyone is ready…the show starts in seven minutes! Um…where is Dana and Logan!"

Dana fanned herself, "It's as hot as your stuffy and smelly dorm room in here," she groaned.

Logan wiped at his face with the back of his hand, "My dorm room doesn't stink! Well at least not my side, Michael's bed smells like old feet, and Chase's…I don't think I could even describe how that smells."

"And how do you know how there bed smells unless you've been sleeping in it."

"Shut up, I sleep in my own bed, and usually not alone,"

Dana crossed her arms, "Do you realize you're only hurting your argument."

"With girls Dana,"

Dana smiled, "Yeah, uh-huh Metro,"

Logan pulled off his shirt.

Dana stopped talking.

He smiled, "Look at you, getting all silent as soon as I flash you my body. You know I turn you on."

Dana stood up, "Yeah right, I think I'm more turned on by Michael Jackson."

Logan laughed, "He's not even in my ball park, if you're going to come up with a joke like that you can at least say Brad Pitt,"

"Honey, you don't even compare to him,"

"And who do you think you compare to, huh, Senorita Cruz? J. Lo?"

Dana ran her hands through her hair, "I look better than Jennifer Lopez,"

"You don't have her ass,"

Dana stared back at Logan with a raised eyebrow, and then rolled her eyes. "This conversation is stupid. Just don't talk to me. Stay on your side…and I'll stay on mine."

Logan twirled his shirt around in the air bored, "Do you hear that music?"

"It sounds like Reggae," Dana said.

Logan nodded, "It's all Michael's music…when he was helping Zoey pick out some music…I brushed up on the "island rhythm" so I could do a little dance for the audience."

Dana laughed, "You're too funny. First of all, you don't have rhythm, and what makes you think you can dance to reggae music?"

"I can," Logan protested.

"I'll believe it when I see it,"

Logan got up, "Try me sweetheart,"

Dana turned away from him, "I am not in the mood for this, sit your goofy ass down."

"No," Logan said.

"I swear if you dance,"

Logan sat back down.

Dana was shocked. He was actually giving up.

"It's way to hot in here to be dancing…if you were smart you would take off that sweater."

"Excuse me?" Dana directed at him.

"Fine then roast like a turkey on Thanksgiving Day," Logan replied nonchalantly.

Dana hated to admit that Logan was right, but it was hot. This was the third time that they had been locked together. Why did this always have to happen to her and Logan? She just wanted to be alone, and deal with Charlie, by herself, she didn't need Logan confusing her.

Dana reluctantly pulled off her sweater.

"I can see your black bra through that white tee-shirt," Logan replied with a smile.

"Do you even get it?"

"Get what?"

"Someone died Logan, but you don't even care. All you can think about yourself. Your selfish, obnoxious, self!" Dana yelled.

Logan closed his mouth, and then decided to defend himself. "Hey that's no fair! I was there for you the day Charlie died."

"You were, but the next day, you acted like Charlie never died!"

"He wasn't exactly my friend, that psycho had it out for me,"

Dana stood up, and walked away from him. "I can't believe I ever used to like you. You're a boy Logan, and that's all you'll ever be."

Logan stood up, "I'm not a boy,"

Dana nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yeah, you are. It's time that you grow up, and realize the whole world doesn't revolve around you,"

Logan looked down. Why was Dana crying. He never saw her cry, and it was all of sudden. "Are you on your period?"

"What!" She screamed.

"The mood swings, hot flashes…"

"Shut-up! What do you mean hot flashes! Don't talk about things you…" Dana closed her mouth, and pushed Logan away from her, "Just get away from me! Find you're side and stay there,"

Meadow placed Zoey's second bathing suit back on the rack. She smiled wickedly. The crowd was going to get more than a glimpse of Zoey's "assets" as she strutted off stage, thinking she was cute.

"Meadow," Chase said.

She turned to him surprised, "Don't sneak up on people like that,"

Chase raised an eyebrow, "Why did you take me away from Zoey, claiming that you had something to tell me, and then leave me as soon as we were away from her,"

Meadow shrugged, "I just wanted to get up close and personal with the new you,"

"You don't even know the old me," Chase replied.

Meadow crossed her arms, "No one knows anyone,"

"Huh?"

"Everyone has ulterior motives, and when someone is pushed new sides can come out."

"Are trying to tell me you're really nice?" Chase said sarcastically.

Meadow leaned closer to him and shook her head, "Dear, why on earth would I tell such an outrageous lie. I'm talking about God's gift to parents across the world."

"Zoey," Chase sighed.

Meadow nodded, "I wonder how she would react if she was pushed."

"What do you mean?" Chase asked a little too quickly.

"Oh um…nothing, is that Sawyer?" Meadow placed her hand on Chase's arm and gently pulled him out of the way.

He was surprised that she didn't push him.

"I'm going to go talk to him really quick…you do look nice by the way."

Chase was stunned Meadow was giving him a compliment but before she could make her way over to Sawyer, he reached for her arm. "He came here to see Zoey,"

"So, let go of me." With that Meadow pulled her arm out of Chase's grasp.

Chase clenched his jaw as he watched Meadow walk over to Sawyer.

"Hey Nicole, have you seen Zoey?" Sawyer asked as he slowly hobbled over to her.

Nicole pulled her hair out of her face, "Oh hey Sawyer,"

"Hey,"

"Aww, look at you're little cast, can I be the first to sign."

"No that's my job," Meadow said pushing Nicole out of the way.

"Um, excuse me," Nicole complained.

Sawyer stared back at Meadow irritated. "Meadow,"

"Hey, how's your leg?"

"Okay," Sawyer mumbled.

Meadow nodded, "I hope it gets better soon. You shouldn't be walking,"

"I know that,"

Meadow sighed, "Well in case you need some TLC, you can come to me later."

Sawyer stared back at Meadow for a couple seconds longer and then looked away.

"Bye baby," She said walking away.

Nicole placed her hands on her hips, "What's her problem?"

Sawyer shrugged, "Crazy,"

"Sawyer!" Zoey exclaimed coming from behind him.

"Zoey," Sawyer slowly turned around while using his crutches to assist him.

She kissed him on his lips, and then hugged him.

Sawyer couldn't hug her back because of the crutches, so he propped one under his arm, and then placed his hand against her lower back.

"You'll are so cute," Nicole cooed.

"Hey Nicole, how does these swim trunks look?" Jordan asked placing his hand on Nicole's arm.

Nicole shivered at his touch. She turned to face him, and smiled in satisfaction. "They look perfect…sexy."

Jordan's eyes widened, and his cheeks grew red.

Nicole playfully punched his stomach, "Kidding, but not really."

Jordan's cheeks grew redder. "You look um…sexy too."

"Yay," Nicole squealed.

Sawyer leaned forward to whisper in Zoey's ear, "What's going on?"

Zoey placed her hand against the side of Sawyer's face, and then turned it so she could whisper in his ear. "Nicole likes to flirt, and Jordan is shy…at least he seems like it."

"I thought Nicole was shy too,"

"Sometimes she is around him, but not around other guys." Zoey said.

"Oh," Sawyer replied back.

"The show is starting soon. I have to get out there," Zoey replied back.

"Good luck," Sawyer picked up the two dozen roses that he had sat down briefly. "These are for you Sunshine,"

"Aww," She said.

"Break a leg…bad choice of words." He said.

Zoey kissed him on the cheek, "I love you,"

"I love you too, now I'm going to go sit down in the audience." Sawyer said.

Zoey watched as he slowly got off the stage.

"Okay, I have to get dressed…oh my gosh, what am I doing!" Zoey screamed running towards the rack of clothes. She quickly grabbed her first bathing suit, and then looked around quickly. Since she had waiting so long, she didn't have time to run into the bathroom to get changed. Everyone was right behind the curtain waiting to be called on stage.

Zoey pulled off her sneakers and then her jeans. She had to be quick. If other girls were back here undressing she might not feel so uncomfortable, because she wouldn't be the only one, but if someone was to walk in, they would only see her. Too bad, that bathroom wasn't outside with them. How inconvenient.

She looked around once more and then pulled off her top. She felt exposed.

"Zoey, we're about to…" Chase closed his mouth when he realized Zoey was changing.

"Oh…I…um…"

Zoey's eyes widened.

"Uh…didn't see anything…woah," His eyes traveled down to Zoey's lacy red panties, and then he looked away, "I um…woah," He stepped out.

Zoey's cheeks were on fire.

The Reggae music had just mixed into a fast Techno Beat.

"Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to PCA's annual fashion show for charity, tonight our theme is all about the beach."

Zoey quickly finished undressing, and then slipped on the bathing suit.

"Hey did you know there are rooms for that," A girl said pointing to some "make shift" rooms right behind her.

Zoey placed her hand to her forehead embarrassed. "Oh, I knew that."

The girl nodded in disbelief, "Yeah, you did."

"The students participating in the show, are all wearing clothes donated by Rushmore's Department store, PCA's partner in funding for the show tonight." The Principal announced.

Zoey quickly ran out of the back, everyone was lined up behind the curtains. She was walking with Chase, and they were the last at every rotation.

"I'm sorry about that," He said.

"No, it was my fault. I chose to be the exhibitionist when there was changing rooms or booths right behind me."

"You didn't know," Chase replied reassuringly.

Zoey blushed, "I just feel so silly."

"It's okay, Nicole and Jordan are first." Chase replied. He glanced up front at Meadow and then thought about his plan to get his book back. Tonight was definitely going to be a busy night.

The music changed once again the techno music was replaced with bombastic reggae beats. Strobe lights lit up the outside pool area.

"Did they pay for all of this stuff?" Chase asked in disbelief.

"I think most of it was donated from the Rushmore Department store, because they're very active in donating to cancer research." Zoey answered quickly.

Jordan reached for Nicole's hand. "Are you ready?"

"Uh huh," She responded nervously.

Jordan pushed back the curtains and then stepped out. Mist filtered from underneath the stage, and the blue lights zeroed in on him. He smiled and walked down the stage confidentially. A couple girls from the school were checking him out. Jordan's smile faded for a second, where was Nicole.

He turned around and saw her frozen in fear. Without thinking twice he quickly went back to Nicole. "We're on."

"No you're on, I'm so nervous."

"You can do it," Jordan said.

Nicole placed her hand to her mouth, "I don't think so…they're so many people and…"

Jordan bent down to pick up Nicole in his arms.

She gasped.

He smiled, "We'll just have to do it like this…very unconventional but…it'll have to work."

Nicole wrapped her arms around Jordan's neck as he walked down the stage with her in his arms. She was slowly starting to loosen up, because she felt like everyone was watching him and not her. She glanced at him quickly. He was so amazing. She kicked out her legs playfully and did a little pose. Maybe she wasn't as nervous anymore.

Jordan paused at the edge of the stage which cut off right at the pool.

Nicole gently slid out of Jordan's arms.

He seemed surprised, but she quickly took action by turning around and wrapping one of his arms around her shoulder.

Jordan grinned, "Where's you're nerves?" He whispered.

"You chased them away," She whispered back.

Nicole smiled in satisfaction as the audience clapped.

Jordan slowly removed his arm from around her, and then slipped his hand into hers.

Nicole squeezed his hand tightly. Maybe she would let him know how she felt after tonight. As soon as they stepped back behind the curtain. Nicole hugged him.

"I was on the verge of making the biggest fool out of myself!"

"Not on my watch," Jordan said.

"We got to get changed for the next walk…you won't have to carry me next time, I promise." She said.

Jordan winked back at her, and then went towards the boys' changing area, while Nicole went towards the girls'.

Next up was Meadow, and two other girls who were paired together by default. Meadow smiled satisfied. They were supposed to stop for three seconds as soon as they stepped out, and then walk together, but Meadow refused to share the spotlight. As the other girls stopped, she used both of her hands to push them out of the way, and make way for herself.

"Uggh!" One of the girls growled.

Meadow flipped her hair off of her shoulders and walked towards the edge of the stage. Her high heels clicked on the shiny black stage with every step she took. The music seemed to grow louder, and a couple people in the audience stood up to give her applause.

Meadow placed her hand on her hip as she paused. Her eyes scanned the audience for Sawyer, he was sitting with his mom in the front. She smiled back at him, and he kept her gaze. Meadow slightly raised her chin, and then raised her hands in the air, so she could shake her hips along with the beat. She was a show off, and that was okay as long as Sawyer was watching.

Some guys whistled.

Meadow let her hands drop down to her sides, and then she turned around, the girls she was supposed to walk with had just now caught up to her. "See ya ladies," She said snidely as she walked back towards the curtain.

"We're up," Chase said.

"Yeah, I was nervous but not anymore." She said.

Chase thought about asking Zoey to hold his hand, and then decided against it.

"You ready?"

"Yeah," He said running his hands over his much noticeably shorter hair.

The music slowed down. Drums were heard in the background as Zoey and Chase stepped out.

Chase walked slightly stiff for a couple of seconds and then looked down at Zoey, who seemed completely in her element. He allowed his body to relax and he then fixed a smile on his face. He felt plenty of girls' eyes on him. Chase didn't know how to react to all of this new attention. Once they reached the end of the stage, he tucked his hands in his pockets, and then turned to look at Zoey.

She was smiling back at him.

He felt his heart stop. She looked so beautiful with the lights shining on her. Her eyes were illuminated in the dark, and glitter was shinning on her face. He closed his eyes, and then opened it, she was still staring at him like that. They turned around and walked off stage. Maybe she was already starting to see more to him than just his "fro" and his unthreatening friendship status? What if she was starting to see him as the guy that had always been right under her nose. The one that was always willing to provide her his ear, and also him, whenever she wanted it.

They stepped back behind the curtain.

"You did so good out there…Mr. Confidence." Zoey said rubbing his arm.

"And you did too." Chase stammered.

"Did you see all those girls looking at you?" Zoey asked with a hint of jealously in her voice.

"Girls? You mean the old women? One of them took out her dentures and started waving them in the air for me to take it off."

Zoey giggled, "You're sick you know that."

"Yeah,"

"Let's go and get changed for the 2nd walk…I'm so glad everything is going so good so far!"

Chase watched as Zoey bounced away happily.

"She's flippin over you man," Michael said stuffing a potato chip into his mouth.

"Give me those," Skyler said stealing the potato chip out of Michael's hand and then putting it in her mouth.

"Now that was just wrong!" Michael exclaimed.

"It's getting so hot in here," Dana complained.

"Let's play a game," Logan suggested.

Dana sighed, "You don't ever get the message do you,"

"Truth," Logan spat out.

"Shut up,"

"Truth, we're going to be here all night baby doll."

Dana glared back at him, "You want to play games huh? When it's hot and sticky in here, and I feel like all my make-up is sweating off my face and onto the floor!"

"How ugly,"

"Fine, Truth…do you feel the least bit bad about Charlie,"

"A little…truth or dare,"

Dana turned away from him, she stayed like that for two minutes until she realized that Logan was still staring back at her.

"Fine, Damn you…truth!"

"Have you ever fantasized about me?"

"Huh?" Dana asked.

Logan smiled devishley, "Like dreamed about me naked or something,"

"What…I…"

"Truth Dana, don't you lie to me." He said.

The answer was yes, of course she had dreamt about him naked…thousands of times in her head, but she couldn't admit that to him. Dana looked down.

"Because I've dreamt about you," He said.

Dana looked up at him speechless.

"I've got nothing to hide," He said sitting back and waiting for her to answer.

It was now time to model the 2nd outfits of the night.

Meadow stepped off of stage, and then into the back. Zoey was talking to Chase about something, and she was wearing her rigged suit.

Meadow clapped her hands. This was going to be so priceless! Too bad Blondie didn't realize that her bikini bottoms were see through…well at least in the back.

"Just one more after this, and then we're home free," Chase said.

Zoey smiled, "Yeah,"

They stepped out on stage, and walked confidently down the runway. At the end Chase extended his arm to Zoey. She took his arm, and then leaned against him as they did a quick pose.

When Zoey turned around, the audience gasped, and then a couple of guys cheered.

"What on earth is your girlfriend wearing?" Meredith said in alarm.

Sawyer's mouth dropped open, "Uh..."

"Her whole…you can see everything in the back."

Sawyer winced, "She must not know it's see through." He placed his hand to his forehead and then sank down in his seat. He felt so bad, if he could run on stage he would, but he couldn't.

Chase could hear the audience's gasps. What was wrong? They were getting applause before? Zoey walked ahead of him slightly. His eyes traveled downwards, and they then opened wide. Zoey's black bikini bottoms were completely see through in the back, and the whole audience could see her butt. He quickly got behind her, and then wrapped his arms around her waist.

She reached for his hand surprised. "What are you doing?"

"Wardrobe malfunction,"

"Huh, what?" Zoey asked startled.

The music picked up, as Zoey and Chase stepped back behind the curtain.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Your bikini bottoms…they are kind of transparent."

Zoey's mouth dropped in shock, "Transparent…how transparent."

"Enough to see everything in the back."

Zoey placed her hand to her mouth embarrassed, "Oh migod,"
