Guilt. It was one feeling Logan didn't usually feel, at least not because of blowing off a girl. But he couldn't deny it. He felt guilty for the way he acted to Aundrea.

He didn't know how to deal with this guilt, so he ignored it. Besides, here was this hot chick – Jessica? Or maybe it was Jennifer – hanging onto his every word.

To a stranger walking by, it would seem like he had the perfect life.

But there was that nagging feeling.


Aundrea on the other hand, was feeling terrible. She was just glad that Quinn wasn't in the room, probably off hanging with Zoey and them. She just really needed some alone time. The only person she wouldn't mind being with right now was Chase, but he was probably still with Zoey at the beach.

But she was more important than Zoey, wasn't she? Best friends forever, that counts much more than a silly crush.

She pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and pressed 2 on her speed dial for Chase. She hastily wiped away her tears and sniffed as Chase answered the phone.

"Snooks?" she sniffled.

"Drea? What's wrong? It sounds like you've been crying," Chase said on the other line, worry lining his voice.

"Snooks, I really need my best friend right now. I'll explain later, can you come up to my room?"

"Yeah, I'm on my way," Chase said. "Hey guys, Drea needs me, I'll catch up with y'all later."


When he reached Drea's room, he gently knocked on the door.

"It's Snooks, can I come in?" He heard a sniffle from inside and a muffled 'yeah'.

When he entered the room, he noticed that Quinn's side of the room was filled with test tubes and wires running everywhere. He briefly wondered what it was like to share a room with Quinn and her 'quinvetions'. That was before he noticed Drea on her bed.

She was still in her school clothes, but her hair was a mess and her eyes looked puffy from crying.

"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

Aundrea ran into Chase's arms as he hugged her comfortingly. "I'm so stupid Snooks," she cried into his chest, "I'm so stupid."

"Shh…" Chase cooed, "you are not stupid, you're a smart, beautiful person, inside and out. Now are you going to tell me what's got you all upset."

"It's just…" she sniffled, "this whole thing with Logan is just so."

"Logan is the reason you're crying?" Chase's demeanor changed from worry to anger in a split second. "Why when I get my hands on him."

"Thanks for caring, I knew you would, but it's not really Logan's fault. It's mine," she said. She surprised even herself. Here she was, crying because of him and she was still defending him to her best friend.

Chase just stayed there, rubbing her back comfortingly, until she fell asleep. He then gently laid her down onto her bed. As he was leaving, he heard her murmur something in her sleep.

"Thanks Snooks. Love ya."


Chase was confused, yet angry. What did Logan have to do with anything? What did he do to his best friend for her to end up in tears?

Speak of the devil. Or think of the devil actually, Chase thought as he saw Logan up ahead with some blonde attached to his arm.

"Logan, I need to speak with you," Chase said in a slightly low voice.

Logan whispered something to the blonde and she giggled away happily.

"What do you want Matthews, you're wasting my time," Logan said airily.

"Did you do anything to Aundrea?" Chase asked in a cold voice.

"I didn't do anything to that chick," Logan defended.

"Yeah, then why was she in her dorm crying?" Chase said, anger threading his voice.

Logan's usually boastful face, faltered at these words. "She's—She's crying?"

"Yeah, and she said it has to do with you somehow," Chase said, slightly surprised at Logan's change in attitude.

"Maybe I should go talk to her," Logan said, more to himself than to Chase. He started towards Brenner Hall, but Chase stopped him.

"Don't," he said. "She just fell asleep. If you're gonna talk to her, wait until tomorrow. And if I hear you harm her in ANY way at all, your ass is mine." Logan was startled at the protectiveness in his voice. Maybe he liked her, not Zoey. But he quickly regained his boastful composure.

"Ooh, I'm scared Matthews," he said, mocking fright.

Chase gave him one last cold stare before leaving Logan with his own thoughts.


A/N: Short, I know. Just wanted to note some stuff.

I haven't done a disclaimer yet, but all characters are from Zoey 101, I don't own any of them except for Aundrea Felicity Tesslo.

Also, in an earlier chapter, I said that Chase's middle name was Ezekiel, but I recently found out from a re-run of Zoey 101, that actually, his middle name is Bartholomew.

Thanks for all the reviews everyone!
