A/N: Thank you so much to all the FABULOUS reviewers! You guys rock! And thanks to anyone who reads the story, even if you don't review it. I'd still appreciate your reviews though! I'd love to know what you think! Unfortunately, this chapter is a little bit on the short side. The next chapter's a little bit longer, but I think it's more interesting. Not saying this one's terrible though. It's not a whole lot of exciting stuff though. More like setting things up for the next chapter kind of. Now, onto my oh-so fabulous reviewers!
hopefully – The chapters do get longer, I promise. And there's definitely more Dana and Logan. I'd keep having to force myself to stop writing some of them and put in some of the others. lol. This isn't until near the end though so expect a lot of Dana and Logan. The bet's consistently there, although it's not always a major thought. I don't want to give too much away though. I'm sorry about your mom and brother. Thanks for reviewing!
Dark Dreamer xXx – Dana and Logan will have their fair share of ups and downs. Dana actually says something like that in one of the later chapters. lol. I'm glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!
chichicutie24 – Dana ran because she finally decides to kiss him, and he backs away. I think she kind of thinks he was almost leading her on. The bet is long lasting, though not exactly prominent. My later chapters are longer. I'm glad you're liking the story! Thanks for reviewing!
The Tears On My Cheeks – Thank you so much! And I have so much homework and activities too. I hate it. Well, the homework. The activities are fun. lol. Good luck if decided to try out for cheerleading! I'm glad you like the story! Thanks for reviewing!
shutup – Do you mean the summary I wrote for this story? It might not be that great, yeah, but it does support Dana and Logan. This story is more of a Dana and Logan story than anything. Is that what you meant?
nikki – It became more focused on Dana and Logan by accident. lol. It wasn't going to be so much more prominent than everything else but I just love writing about them so I tended to write about them more. I'm glad you're liking it! Thanks for reviewing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101 or any of the characters, except John Robinson and Kyle Jones. Oh and the title of this chapter – Up, Up, Up – is a song I heard a couple of years ago or something.But it's a song title and I don't own it.
Chapter 9
Zoey woke up to a beeping sound. She blinked. It was the alarm clock. "Turn it off!" Dana moaned.
Zoey hit the alarm off. Nicole and Dana sat up abruptly. "Zoey! You're here!" Nicole exclaimed happily.
Zoey smiled. I guess talking to Chase did help. she realized. "Yeah, I'm here! So everyone get up!" she instructed.
Dana groaned. "How about you let me sleep?" she suggested.
"No way! You'll miss class!" Zoey told her.
"So?" Dana complained. She was tired. She didn't fall asleep for a while last night after what happened with Logan. Dana sighed. She'd always known he was a jerk but…
"Come on Dana! Get up!" Nicole exclaimed.
Dana shot her a look of death and Nicole quickly closed her mouth. Not only was she tired, but going to class would involve seeing Logan – something she didn't want to do. "I'm staying here," she protested.
"No you're not," Zoey argued. "Get up and get ready. Now."
Dana glared at Zoey but she held her ground. Dana sighed and rolled out of bed. "Fine, I'll get up, but you have to listen to me complain all day," she gave in.
Zoey smiled. "Deal," she agreed.
"Turn it off!" Logan shouted, throwing his pillow at the alarm clock. The alarm clock fell off the table and broke. "At least it stopped beeping," he muttered.
"Dude! You just broke our alarm clock!" Michael exclaimed.
"I'll buy us a new one," Logan replied. "Will someone give me my pillow back? I'm trying to sleep."
"Sleep?" Chase repeated groggily. "We have to get up. I'd tell you what time it was but you broke the clock." Chase tossed Logan his pillow.
"I'm not going to class today," Logan announced.
"What? Why not?" Michael asked.
"None of your business," Logan snapped.
Michael backed off. "Dude, something's up," he whispered to Chase.
Chase nodded. "Logan, come on. You have to go to class," Chase pointed out.
"Screw class," Logan answered.
Chase and Michael glanced at each other. Chase thought about asking if something was wrong, then last night came back to him. "Ohh, I get it," he thought aloud.
"Just leave me alone," Logan shot back.
Chase backed off. "What should we tell everyone when you ask where you are?" he questioned.
"I feel sick," Logan responded, remembering the excuse Dana had used last night to get out of watching a movie with him.
Luckily for Logan, Chase and Michael didn't remember that. "Ok dude," Michael agreed reluctantly.
Once the two boys had left, Logan got up and walked over to the window. He looked around until he spotted Zoey and Nicole in their usual spot. But where was Dana? She came up to them suddenly, looking very unhappy, though it didn't seem to phase Zoey and Nicole. I wonder if Dana wanted to skip class too. he thought. Suddenly his eyes lit up. This could be his chance! Before he could move though, he saw Chase and Michael walking over towards them. They talked for a minute, then Dana glanced over at the window where Logan was still sitting. He dropped to the ground, but he was pretty sure she'd seen him. Is that good? he wondered. After a few minutes on the ground, he slowly crept back up and looked out the window. They were gone. He sighed and crawled back into bed, thinking bitterly, Today's going to suck.
"Ooh, John Robinson looks really cute today," Nicole noted.
Zoey laughed. "What about Kyle Jones?" she asked.
"He's yesterday's news. Like I said, John looks really cute today," Nicole replied.
Dana joined them, a frown on her face. "I still don't see why I had to get up," she muttered.
Nicole didn't pay any attention. Zoey just smiled and rolled her eyes. Dana sat down and folded her arms across her chest.
"Hey Zoey! Hey Nicole! Hey Dana!" Chase called as he and Michael made their way over.
"Hey guys!" Zoey responded.
"Where's Logan?" Dana wondered aloud. She quickly added, "He's usually here with you guys."
"Yeah. He said he felt sick," Chase explained.
"Those were his exact words?" Dana inquired, sitting up slightly.
Chase looked confused. "Yeah? We asked him what we should tell people when they ask where you are and he said, 'I feel sick.'," Chase answered.
Dana glanced up at the window of the boys dorm. She saw a flash of movement. She wondered if Logan had been watching them. She suspected he had been. "I'm going to class," she announced.
Zoey raised her eyebrows. "What happened to wanting to skip class?" she quizzed.
"You're making me go, remember?" Dana told her. Before Zoey or anyone else could reply, she walked off.
"What was that about?" Chase wondered.
Zoey shrugged. "I don't know, but the rest of us should get to class too," she commented.
They all agreed and headed off for class.
A/N: I pretty much talked out everything in my first note. lol. Umm…I hope everyone likes this chapter! It's not the best though. It's getting really close to what I consider the better chapters though. I'd really like 5 reviews before I post the next chapter. I might take less since I won't have much homework to busy me up but I don't know. Just review anyway because I love knowing what you think of the story! Your reviews are going to especially important in the later chapters because I'm going to take your opinions into consideration for stuff for the sequel! Thanks! Bye!
