A/N: Thanks to everyone who read this! I'm posting this chapter now so if I get a lot of reviews, I'll still have time to post the next chapter. To my reviewers:
Logan's evil master mind – I hope you like the story!
The Tears On My Cheeks – I'm glad you're really liking it! It will be Zoey and Chase too, but for the majority of this story they're friends, but in the sequel there will probably be more Zoey and Chase. Thanks for reviewing!
chichicutie24 – I'm glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or any of the characters.
Chapter 3
"How's my hair look?" Nicole asked. The three girls were getting ready to go to the movies with the guys.
"What's it matter?" Dana replied.
"What if I see a cute guy there?" Nicole explained.
"We're in a movie theater, it's dark," Zoey reminded her.
"Oh yeah. Well, just incase, does my hair look ok?" Nicole persisted.
"You look great," Zoey answered.
"Ok, good. Dana are you going to get ready or not?" Nicole questioned.
"I'm ready," Dana responded.
"You're going in that? But that's what you were wearing today!" Nicole exclaimed.
"And you're point is? It's not a date or anything," Dana pointed out.
"You're not going to change?" Nicole quizzed, genuinely shocked.
Zoey gave Dana a look. Dana knew it would be easier to just go along with it. "Fine, I'll change," she announced, opening the closet and looking around.
"Yay!" Nicole chirped, happy that she'd won. "What about you Zoey?"
"I did change," Zoey reminded her.
"But what about your hair?" Nicole asked.
"Nicole, Dana's right. It's not a date. My hair's fine. I'll brush it out but that's it," Zoey told her.
"Ok," Nicole replied, happy with her work.
Dana emerged from the closet and held up a black skirt and a blank tank top. "I'll wear this. Happy now?" she snapped.
"Do you always have to wear black?" Nicole inquired
"Yes!" Dana shot back.
Nicole quickly gave up on that battle and turned back to Zoey. "You're hair looks great Zo!" she exclaimed.
"Thanks Nicole. And see? All I did was brush it," Zoey replied.
Nicole smiled and checked her reflection in the mirror. Zoey and Dana joined her. "See Dana? You look so much prettier now," Nicole remarked.
Dana glared at Nicole but Zoey gave her a warning look. "Whatever," she commented and sat down on her bed.
Zoey was surprised Dana was giving in so quickly. Something was up, and Zoey was determined to find out. Before she could act on it though, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" Nicole shouted, hurrying over to the door.
"We're here," Chase announced.
"Thanks for stating the obvious," Dana retorted.
"Dana," Zoey warned. Turning back to the guys she continued, "Hey! Ready to go?"
"Ready if you are," Michael answered.
"Great!" Nicole squealed.
Chase held out his arm to Zoey. "May I escort you to the movies, ma'am?" he joked.
Zoey laughed. "Of course," she answered, taking his arm.
Chase was thrilled, but tried to keep it cool. "Lets go," he said.
Nicole looked wistfully after them. She wanted an escort too! Sensing that, Michael suggested, "Uhh…I'll, umm, escort you?"
"Great!" Nicole exclaimed, taking his arm.
Now only Logan and Dana remained. "I see you got all dressed up for me," he commented, smiling.
"Yeah right. I did it for Nicole," she replied.
"Got a little crush?" Logan teased.
"Oh shut up. I was going to wear what I was wearing earlier but she made me change. I don't see the point," Dana snapped.
"You did look hot then, but I think you look even hotter now," Logan remarked.
Dana was surprised but she didn't let it show. "Pig," she retorted.
"Fox," he shot back.
Dana pushed him out of the way and began to walk down the hall. Logan quickly caught up with her. "Don't you want an escort too?" he asked.
"Not if it's you," Dana answered.
"Don't act like you don't want me." Logan knew he'd soon be pushing the limits but he was willing to take that chance.
"This isn't acting," Dana responded.
An idea suddenly popped into Logan's head. He smiled. "Yeah, I should've figured. You can't act that good," he said casually.
Dana glared at him. "I can act so much better than you can pretty boy!" she yelled.
Logan had to try his hardest not to laugh. This was too easy. "Oh yeah?" he taunted.
"Hell yeah!" she shouted back.
"How about we put a little bet on that?" he suggested.
"What kind of bet?" Dana questioned.
"Since you say that you do hate me, and you're not just acting like you do, you have to act like you do like me," Logan told her.
Dana mentally kicked herself for not knowing this was coming. But maybe you did. a little voice in her head said. Dana quickly shook it off. Back to the bet. "For how long?"
Logan smiled. "We'll get to that. So, you have to act like you like me, and everyone has to be convinced that you do," he continued.
"Who's everyone?" she asked wearily.
"Everyone at PCA. Because you have to start by acting like you like me and eventually act like you're dating me," Logan explained.
"That's sick!" Dana exclaimed.
"So when everyone is convinced we're dating, that's it," Logan told her.
Dana thought about it. "Wait, how would I lose this bet?" she inquired.
Logan smiled. "If you quit or do something that you wouldn't do if you liked me," he answered.
Dana's face fell. "What would be considered something that I wouldn't do if I liked you?"
"Pretty much everything you do now. Pushing me, insulting me, ignoring me…the list goes on and on sweetheart," Logan announced.
"Don't call me sweetheart, jerk," Dana snapped.
"That would be two offences in one sentence. Are you sure you want to go through with this bet? I don't think you're a good enough actress to pull it off," he taunted.
I'm screwed. Dana sighed. Logan knew all along that she wouldn't turn down the bet. Even if she did he'd probably find some way around it. Dana closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "What happens if you win?"
Logan grinned. "So you're in?"
"Not yet. Tell me what happens if you win."
"If I win…you have to make out with me," Logan decided.
"That's cheap! If I'm acting like your girlfriend you're going to make me make out with you anyway!" Dana screamed.
"Take it or leave babe," Logan provoked.
Dana sighed. "If I win…" She thought about it. What could be an ideal situation? "If I win…you have to treat me like a queen and wait on me hand and foot, while I get to treat you like dirt." It was stupid. But that little voice inside her head kept telling her not to make him leave her alone. It was hard to ignore it.
Logan pretended to think about it, but he knew he was in. If by some chance Dana did win, he'd never admit it but it wouldn't be so bad. At least he'd get to spend more time with her. Logan was surprised at himself. Did he really just think that? No way. He wanted to win this thing. "Deal," Logan declared, holding out his hand.
Dana hesitated. Oh, hell, there's no turning back at this point. she decided. "Deal," she agreed, shaking his hand.
Logan smiled and pulled her into him. Before she could react and pull away he whispered in her ear, "You start tonight."
Dana sighed. What had she gotten herself into?
A/N: This chapter is the start of the better chapters! The more reviews I get, the faster I'll post chapters. I'm trying to get out a lot of chapters this weekend because I don't know how much time I'll have during the week and this way, since it's a new story, everyone can read more of it. Plus, it's long. I've already written the whole story because I wanted to make sure I was going to finish it before I posted it and it's 40 chapters. So there's a lot to look forward too. Please review and let me know what you think! Thanks!
