Kiss In the Rain
Chapter 5
Where Are We Meeting?

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these Characters or Story. If I did, Dana wouldn't be leaving the show and I don't think I would name the show Zoey 101.

I lay on my bed and look up at the ceiling. Zoey got up and switched the light off. Nicole climbed into bed and fell asleep before her head hits the pillow. Zoey fell onto her own bed floppily, she looked tired. I have tried to sleep but I found I couldn't. I kept thinking about 2Cute4U, I really hope he is cute. (Wait... now I sound like Nicole again. Damn that girl!) What classes did I have with him? He did say I had classes with him. I wonder if I've seen him like a thousand times and never known it was him.

I wonder if Chase, Michael or Logan know him. Logan... with his cute bad-boy smirk, his wavy brownish hair. His body so... wow... so fine. I keep thinking about Logan. I can't help it. Oh MY God! (Wait I am sounding like Nicole again. I really must stop hanging around with her.) Why am I thinking about Logan again. I guess I really must like him. 'No,' I tell myself, 'No I like 2Cute4U, not Logan.' But... after what he did today... No... Yes? No! I really must stop thinking about him. 'Just switch off Dana' I bury my head in my pillow and try not to think of anything at all. But all I keep seeing when I close my eyes is Logan. I'm never going to get any sleep now.

It's morning and I'm happy. Those two things never mix, I'm not normally happy... and in the morning... it's a case of get-out-of-my-way. I get up and rush to the showers. I never really take a showers in the morning, I usually roll out of bed five minutes before class, pull on some clothes, maybe a little make up and I'm done, I never have time for a shower. I look back before closing the door. Nicole and Zoey are just waking up. I rush to the shower, I want to be the first one in today. I don't really want to talk to anyone about why I'm waking up ridiculously early, so I try to avoid as much people as possible. When I get back to the room Nicole and Zoey are gone. They were probably in the showers, I may have missed them.

I don't really care. I wanted the room to my self. I rush to the closet trying not to waste valuable time. I pulled out my white kickers that clung to my waist and really made it look good. I put on a black hater top. My belly was showing witch I don't usually like. But today is going to be different, I wanted to look different... it's like, I want to impress him.

Nicole and Zoey come into the room, both already dressed. Zoey's wearing a hot pink tee-shirt with a dark denim miniskirt. Nicole is wearing a a pink mini-mini skirt with a white shirt that had pink glitter all over it. They lock the door behind them and put a chair in front of it.

"Are you running from somebody?" I ask, putting on my sliver hopped-earrings with a little difficulty.

"No. We just don't want you to get out," Zoey says, crossing her arms in front of her in a no-nonsense manner. Oh god, I think I've just been taken hostage...

"Yeah," Nicole agrees.

I put on a don't-mess-with-me-or-I-will-hurt-you-very-much face. Nicole runs and hides behind Zoey. Zoey takes that dumb smirk off her face and put her hands down. I think she's just realised that she hasn't thought this through properly.

"And why exactly..."I start trying to keep my voice level. "Am I getting locked inside my dorm, Brooks?" I turn to face Zoey and walk towards her menacingly. I am loosing my temper now and if you think I won't hurt them you are SO wrong.

"Ummmm..." Zoey looks at the ground to avoid eye contact with me...

"Oh, if you don't have a reason I guess I'm going to leave," I say casually, I walk to the door.

"No!" Nicole says suddenly.

I spin on my heel to look at her. She is so terrified of this glare. It's the if-looks-could-kill-you'd-be-cold-by-now glare.

"Well...um... what I mean is..." Nicole is scared. Well... even if the rest of the day goes totally down the toilet, I have succeeded in doing something worthwhile today. I scared her. She's never talked to me like this before, she's trying to stand up to me. Who knew the girl had fight in her? "Why are you... um... getting up so early... and... um... what or... um who for?"

"What do you mean?" I turn my back on them. The eyes have it so to speak. Zoey has this way of seeing right through you. But if I avoid eye contact it might block this weird sixth-sense she has going on.

It's not like I want to lie to them it's just well... I don't want to tell them the truth.

"Please Dana, I thought you were our friend?" Zoey asks.

Ouch. That kinda hurts. I want to tell them, I really do. It's just the last time we talked about 2Cute4U, we were arguing and I pushed Zoey into Chase. Luckily that ended well... but what if this time it doesn't? I don't think Zoey likes the idea of me seeing a guy from the internet. She strikes me as one of those kids that's been taught that everyone you meet on the internet is a 50 year old pervert.

"It just..." I'm lost. I just don't have the words to say anything.

"Dana please," Zoey begs. Stupid whiny voice. It always makes me melt. no matter how mad I am with her... stupid voice. I turn around.

"I'm meeting 2Cute4U today! And before you give me a huge lecture... don't. Because I don't care what you say, I'm going to go anyway!" I yell at her.

"That's good." She surprises me. "It really is," Zoey says reassuringly.

"So...um...is he cute. What are you going to wear? What is his favorite color? You should wear his favorite color he'll like that," Nicole gabbles at me hurriedly.

Nicole is so hyper. It seems to me like she's the one going on the date. Wait a minute. Are 2Cute4U and I actually on a... date?

"Yeah. Where you going to met him?" Zoey asks. I open my mouth to open but freeze. That question struck me like a bolt from the blue. I'd forgotten to ask him. I'd just hit sign-off without thinking. He probably IMed me after I logged out!

"Oh my God!" I yell.

I run to the computer, sign onto my username and IM him.

2Bad4U: OMG!

2Cute4U: What?

2Bad4U: I forgot to ask where we were going to meet, didn't I?

2Cute4U: Yeah. I know you did.

2Bad4U: How about.. where I sit at lunch?

2Cute4U: K,

2Cute4U: I know that table

I was going to sign of but Zoey stops me this time. Luckily.
"Umm..What time?" She asks skeptically.
"Yeah, I kinda forgot that." I blushed a little. "Small detail." I say dismissively.

2Bad4U: When are we going to meet?

2Cute4U: How about 6:30pm?

2Bad4U: Okay

2Cute4U: See you there?
