chapter 4 zoey's pov
The next day, Zoey and Chase were quite distant of each other, because last night, each of their minds replayed the recent events and twisted things around, therefore making them feel embarrassed, considering thier true feeling for each other. So when they found themselves at the same table at lunch, silence ensued them until Dana, Nicole, and Michael came in.
"Hi Zoey! What's up?"
"Nicole! Hello! Can't you see them? They're sitting together alone. Let's leave. Now."
"No, that's OK, Dana, we weren't talking"
"Dude, you guys fighting?"
"No, we just didn't see a need to chat. Sheesh, Big Daddy Michael."
"All right fine. Shutting up, sir," Zoey rolled her eyes at him.
"So, areyou fighting?"
"No, I guess not."
"Then why were you guys just staring and picking at your food?"
"I don't KNOW, Dana! It's like I've been a glaze since I got up this morning. Gosh! Do we have math homework?"
"No. Why were you like in a daze?"
"No idea. Why won't you try and tell me?" I challenged.
"Chase, what about you bro?" That came from Michael.
"Huh? What? Oh... yes, I agree."
"Agree to what? What did we agree on?"
"Nicole, he's just outta sync. Like, whatever."
"OK."
Then the bell rung. Time for Drama Club.
"OK, class listen up. We're rewriting Mr. Chase Matthews' play and we might-"
"Uh, Mr. Fletcher?"
"Chase? You have somethig to say?"
"Yeah. Uh, well actually, um, I'm gonna write a modern version of Romeo and Juliet but I still haven't finished the book. Oh,and,uh, Zoey Brooks is also writing it with me."
"Excellent. Keep working on it. I assume you and Zoey plan on being cast as Romeo and Juliet?"
"Yes, sir."
"OK. Well, good Zoey! Keep writing and I'm looking forward to seeing the script. Ooh, I can't wait!"
"Uh, Mr. Fletcher? I'm writing it too, ya know."
"Riiiiight. Well, OK. Now, I have some comments about how the play turned out, and-" Bell ring
"Well I see class has ended. Tomorrow, kids. Bye."
When I got outside, I almost ran into Chase.
"Whoa there. Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing. Are we still friends after our weird daze?"
"Yeah of course. Friends."
"Yeah, so we're cool?"
"Yeah come on, I mean, no homework today."
"Yay."
"Yay!" I giggled and he laughed.
"Where do you wanna hang out?"
"Ugh. Not your room in case of Logan, how about my room or the girls lounge?"
"OK."
"No, I mean which one?"
"Um? Both," he grinned.
"Chase."
"Uh, OK. That's short for okay, B.T.W. er, I mean by the way..."
"Chase!"
"What?"
"WTVR! That's short for WhAtEvEr!"
"I KNOW that, Zoey!"
I lightly socked him in the arm.
"OK, so how about my room?"
"Ok."
"Hey! Or wait! Zo, how's about the beach?"
"Chase! You brilliant genius! Yes!"
"Well, I try. I mean to be a bril-"
"Come on! Let's go get our bathing suits!"
"Okay, it's not like I was fishing for compliments you know."
"Oh, just come on. Wait- fine, compliments of Zoey Ann Brooks," I kissed him on the cheek, then dragged him to Hartford Hall.
"Alright, how about we get our stuff seperately so it doesn't take as long."
"Yeah, OK."
So we parted ways and whe I got to my dorm, Dana was there.
"Hey! I'm going to the beach with Chase, I just stopped by to get my bathing suit. Well, which one should I wear? My pink striped one-piece or my blue Hawaii print bikini?"
"What do you think?"
"My blue one. I haven't worn it yet."
"Well, Chase should like that."
"Shut up."
So I put my suit on and then my aqua-green tanl top and my pale pink skirt over top. I like wearing that skirt to the beach because it's knee-length with ruffles at the bottom, so it's perfect for breezy weather. A/N wow! jst like my blue cheetah print with butterflies one! wow me and zoey are SO alike!
Then I went over to Chase's dorm and waited until he got out.
"Um, that doesn't look quite like a bathing suit," he pointed out.
"Yeah well, my suit's underneath." Chase was wearing dark blue trunks and a plain red T-shirt.
"Cool. Let's go."
"M-hm."
Once we got there, we layed out our towels and chairs, put up the umbrella, and stripped off all signs of regular clothes (leaving the suits) and took of our flip-flops and ran into the water. We splashed around and went boogie-boarding. It was SO much fun! We were falling and dunking and chasing eachother. Then we took a break to eat. We stopped at the snack bar to get burgers for lunch. Chase insisted on paying since he had a job. When it was time to go back, we so didn't wanna. But we said we'd do it again some other day. Because of what time it was, I snuck back into my dorm, but as soon as I shut the door, Nicole and Dana turned on the lights and interrogated me wide-awake.
"So how was the beach?"
"I love it, Nicole."
"What did Chase say about your bikini?"
"Dana! He didn't say anything, why would he?" She raised an eyebrow and mumbled something about Chase being in control of himself and that I was lucky. Whatever.
"We plan on going anotehr time."
"Did you eat already?
"Yeah, why?"
"You left your purse here." "I know but..."
"You mean he payed!"
"It was just burgers, Nicole."
"But still."
"Uh. Good night."
"Yeah. Good night. Sweet dreams... of Chase!"
"DANA!"
Although I have to admit, I kinda did do a little "day" dreaming before I fell asleep.
