Disclaimer: I DO NOT Zoey101 or anything of Zoey101, expect my OC's, Allison Mello, Derek and Jordan Rodriquez and Carla, but, I DO wish I owned Matthew Underwood (Logan Reese) err, is he F-I-N-E or what? (Sorry Chase fans, lol!)

(A/N: Alright, so here's the deal. I have been getting SO many flames lately, and you know what, I am so SICK of them! They bring me down SO much that I told some of my friends that I was thinking about deleting this story, but, for my awesome and kind reviewers, I won't do that. So, this is what I came up with. I decided to disable the anonymous reviews, and to delete all of the flames I have received. I am SO sorry to all of my anonymous reviewers, but I can't control the mean people that review my story. I get people SWEARING at me, over a story! My goodness, this is fan fiction for crying out loud! This is MY story, so I will do whatever I want to it! If you don't like it, then just don't review it! It's as simple as that. If you are a NICE, KIND and LOYAL anonymous reviewer, please email me, and tell me your review there. I might eventually enable anonymous reviews again, but that would be in a matter of time. Thanks in advance! And, if you want to join fan fiction dot net, but you don't know how to, or your not sure how, please feel free to email me, and I would be GLAD to help you! Now, onto the awesome reviews I got!

Chapter Twelve: Awkwardness

No POV

Dana slowly woke up to the sound of Nicole's hairdryer going off… but today, she didn't want to bother yelling, screaming and chasing Nicole around the room. I mean, she had more troubles to worry about, than Nicole's stupid hairdryer, like, for say, her love life!

"Nicole…" Dana said in a groggily voice. Nicole looked up from her Teen Girl magazine.

"Huh?" Nicole asked.

"Why aren't you using your silent leaf blower that Quinn gave you?" Dana questioned.

"Oh, because it broke somehow," Nicole explained. "so, Quinn's fixing it right now. Why? Did I wake you, again? Sorry!"

Dana smiled. "Nah, it's cool. It's already…" Dana rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, and glanced towards the clock. It read, "11:35 A.M."

"Damn, it's already 11:35?"

"Yep… Zoey and I TRIED to get you out of bed so that you could join us, along with the rest of the gang for breakfast, but noooo… you slept like a rock, a dead bulb, a…"

Dana rolled her eyes. "I get it, already!"

"Well, alright then! So, hurry up and get ready, so that you won't miss lunch, or dinner, for that matter." said Nicole.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" Dana said, as she slowly rolled out of bed. "Speak of the Zoey, where is she this morning?"

"Oh, she's hanging around…" Nicole trailed off, and looked down back at her magazine. Dana knew something was up.

Dana had a sly grin on her face. She knew she could make Nicole crack, any minute.

"Okay, okay, okay… I'll tell you," Nicole admitted after a few minutes of silence. Dana smiled, satisfied.

Dana nodded, as for her to continue.

"She's out with Chase. They've been an item for the past few weeks, okay?" Nicole confessed. Dana's eyes lit up in shock and in joy, too.

"They're an item? A REAL item?" Dana repeated slowly, totally in shock that Zoey actually saw Chase in more than a friend type of guy. Nicole nodded, excitedly.

"Isn't it great?" Nicole exclaimed with joy. "But Dana, you can't tell Zoey I told you… she would totally freak out on me. She doesn't want anyone to know. She told me about her and Chase because it slipped out, accidentally."

"Right and I'm Miss America…" Dana said sarcastically.

Nicole gave a puzzled look. "What's that suppose to mean, Dana Marie?" (A/N: I made up her middle name; I thought it sounded cute… Dana Marie Cruz)

Dana rolled her eyes. "It means that nothing 'slips' out of Zoey's mouth. You guys tell each other EVERYTHING, so why would she want it to be such a big secret?"

"I don't know, but yeah, it was a secret, and you weren't even there, so how would you know?"

"Whatever… I'm going to get ready, see you," Dana said. Nicoleshrugged, went back to her reading, and blow drying, while Dana slipped on her slippers and robe, grabbed her toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, gel, and mouth wash, and walked out of room 101, and into the bathroom to get ready for the day ahead.

10 minutes later…

Dana came walking out of the bathroom, having her hair done, and her teeth brushed. She entered room 101, where she found Nicole at her closet, lookingthrough all of the clothes she had. To Dana, Nicole looked overwhelmed, so as being her roommate, and one of her 'friends', she decided to pick something out for her. She slightly nudged Nicole out of the way, and she stepped back, while Dana rummaged through her clothes. She finally decided on some cute looking, ripped jeans, with a pale pinkish top that had the words 'I'm More Than Just A Cute Face' in black and white letters. Nicole grinned happily, like a 5 year old would do, after he/she received a huge lollipop from the doctor's office. Dana smiled in return, and walked over to her closet, to pick out what she would be wearing. She decided on some jean capri's, and a darkish blue top that had the number '87' on it, printed in yellow writing. (A/N: The number means nothing. It was random, lol!) The girls both laid out there outfits, got dressed, put on make-up, perfume, socks/sneakers for Dana, and some pink flip-flops for Nicole, grabbed there purses, some money, lip gloss, and the keys to their dorm, and were on there way to lunch by 12:15 P.M.

Outside by the Lunch Tables

12:20 P.M.

Dana and Nicole both grabbed a sandwich, some chips, grapes, and orange juice and sat down, along withthe rest of the gang. Everyone was pretty much silent at their table, since the last time they all chatted,was when Dana and Logan had their big break-up together.

The seating arrangements were; Zoey, Nicole, Dana, Quinn, Michael, Logan and then Chase. They all seated in a circle around the table, so Zoey and Chase ended up sitting next to each other, while Dana and Logan sat right across from each other.

Every once in a while, Logan would steal glances at Dana, and Dana would look up, feeling a pair of eyes on her, but then, Logan would look back down at his tray of food.

After a while, this got a little tiring and old for Dana, so she stopped trying to meet eye-to-eye with Logan. Instead, she was starting to think of ways to get back at him, for the heartbreak that he caused her to have. But, the truth was, she didn't really want him back. I mean, yes, she did still care for him, no matter what, but maybe, just maybe, they weren't right for each other after all. Dana was all confused right now, so she decided to empty her tray, and go for a walk, just to think about everything.

"Hey, I'm full. I'm going to go for a walk, okay? I'll be back soon." Dana muttered quietly, as she stood up.

"Okay, see you later." Nicole called after her. Dana smiled, glanced at everyone, and walked away. She went by the trash, dumped her things, and went on a stroll by herself, on this warm, sunny afternoon at Pacific Coast Academy.

After walking aound for a few minutes,while the hot California sun beat on her forehead, she decided to whip out her cell phone, and call Jordan.

As she began to dial, she thought about what she was going to say. 'What to say, what to say?'she thought, nervously. Soon, she heard someone's voice pick up the phone, on the other line.

"Hello...?"
