Only Boy

There is nothing like winning a game, the passion, the prize, the exhilaration, it's amazing. So maybe I'll look back on what just happened a minute ago and say it was just the hype that made me do it, but my feelings today, know that's not true.

I kissed Zack. Nothing more nothing less, it's just a kiss right. I'm a thirteen year old girl. I didn't mean to kiss him I swear, but he just looked so good. I don't know what it is about Zack, but I've always liked him. He's funny, and nice, and interesting, and cute. Yeah I know him and Cody look the exact same (though I don't always think so) but Zack is different.

So I kissed him. And then I touched his hand and I freaked. For all it's worth he freaked too. Then they started making fun of Zack and being the Moran he is, he said something mean. I'm not a girl, according to the boy I just kissed. I wonder what that made me then, I mean I always felt like a girl even if I didn't always look like one.

So I left there and came back to play the next day and I was a baby. I didn't want him to get the ball, I wasn't going to pass it to him. I'm sorry Zack, I guess those who are not girls don't share either.

The I left, forgot my bag, came back and got stared at. I told them I just needed my bag and then Zack was pushed or thrown into me. He asked me out, I didn't believe it. Zack my crush of about a year (or as long as he really lived here) asked me out. Of all people, you know how that made me feel? Well it made me feel amazing. So I said yes and practically skipped out.

It took me over three in a half hours to get ready. I washed my hair, put on a bit of makeup, and had to pick out the perfect outfit. It took me that long to figure out if my blue dress was too girly, I love that dress, but I never wear it. I'm Max. Max doesn't wear dresses, she just doesn't.

But I chose to this time. It was a special occasion after all. So I got to the restaurant in The Tipton, I was running a little late. So Zack was already there, looking unbelievably gorgeous.

He was actually speechless when he saw me. But I guess that's a good thing, right?

Well it didn't take him long to recover and soon we were having a great time, shooting spit balls, joking, laughing. Doing our usual thing.

But then he had to go and break my heart again. He told me that he was happy because it turned out the date Cody and Tapeworm forced him to go on, turned out good.

Did that mean, what I thought it meant? It meant that I was so ugly, or worthless, or bad that he had to be forced to ask me out.

Finally, I got fed up and put what was left of dessert in his face. The perfect Clown.

The next day was the tournament, there was no way I'd let that doofus, stop me from playing the way I play. Believe me, I was playing great, him on the other end, sucked.

He kept saying he wanted to talk, talk sure, like I'd ever talk to him again.

After missing the hundredth or so shot, Arwin made us talk. So we talked and it was great, and we decided to go back to being friends. Yeah that's a great idea, I mean we're best friends, we play great together. Video games and putting worms in Cody's pillow, this is was better than dating. Way, way better.

So why do I feel so hallow inside? Like something's missing? Maybe one day, we'll be able to be friends as well as be able to date. Maybe then, he'll have grown up and realized I'm a girl. Maybe then I'll realize he's not the only boy. But then again, maybe he is the only boy for me.

A/N: This is my first Suite Life fic. I love the show but I never had the desire to write about it until now. I watched the "Basketball and Kisses" episode. I was so excited because I always thought Max liked Zack, and here it was-the proof. But then it had to end with friendship instead of the love I was hoping for, but hey at least
