Title:
Chapter 1: Breaking Up Really Burns Your Soul
It had been almost a week since Quinn's mishap with Mark turned into a full blown romance, and they were closer than ever. Zoey, Nicole, and Dana watched in somewhat of a disgust and Quinn and Mark shared a slurpy with two straws during lunch.
"You don't have to stare at them you know!" Zoey said to Nicole and Dana as they continued scanning the couple.
"I'm sorry. It's just so...weird. I mean, in a way it's cute but...it's just...Mark!" Nicole made a slight shiver and looked back at Zoey.
"C'mon Nicole, we should be happy for Quinn, it's her first boyfriend and it looks like they're going to be together for a long, long time." Zoey's words stretched out like a lengthy poem.
"Yeah...look at them. They're inseperable!" Just as Dana made her statement, she saw Quinn walking towards her. The girls turned to see Quinn looking rather disappointed.
"Quinn, what's wrong?" Zoey asked.
"Mark Del Figgalo...that's what's wrong!" Quinn's voice was loud and sturn. The girls focused their attention on Mark and saw him wiping the strawberry slurpy they'd been sharing off of his lap.
"Quinn what happened?" Nicole asked in shock.
Quinn sat down at the table and rested her head on her hands.
"Well, where should I begin. We were just talking and sharing our slurpy, when all of the sudden, out of nowhere, Mark just decides that he want's to call off out movie date to hang out with some of his guy friends. We were planning on eating dinner together and catching a movie on campus. I knew Mark was a sleaze bag. I should have known ever since I noticed that our nose hairs showed that our DNA wasn't molecularly compatible." Quinn sighed as Dana and Nicole gave each other a weird look.
"And I was the one who bought the slurpy!" Quinn said finishing her sentence.
"But I thought you guys were, in love." Dana said.
"Believe me, I did too, but now, I shall never be able to look at Mark Del Figgalo as long as I live." Quinn ran away.
Zoey, Nicole and Dana tried to gather their thoughts about what had just happened. Just as Quinn left, Chase came and sat down with is tray.
"What's with Quinn?" He asked.
"She and Mark just broke up." Zoey said.
"Well it's about time Mark broke up with her. If I were him...I would...wait a minute...I wouldn't want to be him dating her! Uggh!"
"Chase! Be serious. They were totally in love. You should have seen these two!" Zoey said defending Quinn.
"Yeah and they even shared a slurpy." Nicole said chiming in.
"I think we should say something. Quinn's probably heartbroken." Dana said sympathetically.
"You're right. I'll go talk to her." Zoey got up and walked to the dorms.
When Zoey approached Quinn's door she noticed that the picture of her and Mark that she had drawn, was erased vigorusly. She heard sobs coming from the other side of the door.
She knocked quietly so she wouldn't disturb the other students.
"Quinn? Are you okay?" Zoey asked.
"Zoey? Is that you?" Quinn said.
"Yeah. It's me."
"Come in."
Zoey walked in to find Quinn crumbling up pictures of Mark and throwing them into a bubbling solution. They dissolved the instant they hit the liquid.
"Quinn, what are you doing and what is that stuff?" she asked.
"It's another Quin-vention of mine. The molecules in this specially formulated acid, react with the molecules in the ink of these pictures and instantly liquify the paper. I'm erasing every memory that I ever had of M-Mark! It's scientifically proven that once a person deletes every image of a certain person or event, the human brain shuts down that section of the mind which erases the horrible memory of that something...or someone." Quinn paused for a moment, then returned to torching Mark's pictures.
"Well Quinn, maybe he didn't mean to make you feel bad. Maybe he just wanted some time with his friends." Zoey suggested.
"I thought I knew Mark. I thought that he wanted to spend every hour of every day with me!"
"Just remember that there are always lots of other fish in the sea. Now, come on, we have to get back to lunch before class starts. I left Chase alone with my meatloaf.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a second, I just want to finish this last stack of photos." Quinn quickly grabbed the stack of pictures as Zoey walked out.
As she walked over to the bubbling vat, she noticed someone or something outside of the window. Leaning of the solution to get a better look, Quinn didn't realize that the plug leading to her Bunsen burner was right at her ankles. She took one step and found herself head first inside of her solution. Quinn screamed at the burning sensation of the elements within it and then everything went black.
