Chapter 8:
Rebecca storms back to her suite, banging the door, hard. She falls onto the couch.
"At least I'm not bored." She thinks, "But…now I'm mad at Cody, the worst possible place to be!" Rebecca screams into a pillow, frustrated. The phone rings. She tosses the pillow aside. It hits a lamp and breaks it.
"Aww great! Just great!" She thinks as she picks up the phone.
"Hello?" She says, a little angrier than she wanted to.
"Hi," Zack's voice is heard on the other end.
"Oh…hi Zack." Rebecca says flatly.
"What's up?"
"Your stupid brother!"
"Cody? Why? What happened?"
"He's mad at me…for no reason!"
"What else?"
"What do you mean 'what else?"
"What else, what else happened?"
"I don't know!" Rebecca shrieks, "I just asked him why he wouldn't talk to anyone!"
Zack sighs, "Why'd you do that?"
"'Cause I wanted to know!"
"You don't have to yell at me!"
"I can't help it!"
"You just did it again!"
"No I didn't!"
"There you just did it again!"
"I don't have to listen to this!" Rebecca bangs the phone on the receiver and screams.
"FINE!" Zack yells and hangs up too.
Meanwhile, in the Martin suite…
Maddie, who'd gone to bathroom, hears doors slamming and runs out. She notices that Rebecca left and goes to Cody's door and knocks.
"Cody! Let me in!" She says. In response, Cody locks the door.
"Cody…c'mon let me in! Please!" Cody angrily gets up and walks over to the desk, gets the chair, and props it under the doorknob.
"Cody! Please! Let's talk!" Cody sits on the bed, crying, hoping that she'll leave.
"Cody! Talk to me!" Cody looks up and snatches a piece of paper and a marker and writes: LEAVE ME ALONE! He slides it under the door. Maddie ignores it and begins pounding on the door.
"OPEN THIS DOOR!" She shouts. Cody gets up and drags the chair out of the way. He bangs open the door, which surprises Maddie causing her to step back. Cody grabs the sign and puts it on the door. He then turns around, slams the door, and puts the chair back, completely ignoring her.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE:)
