Chapter Six
(Zoey's POV)
It's been a week since I got to PCA. This week hasn't been as bad as I imaged. Dustin was right I need to stop closing people out. I met this new kid, Austin...or was it Justin? I don't know. But he's in my Creative Writing class too. He sits in front of me. I wonder if-

"Who is it?" I asked. No one answered. So I opened the door and to my suprise I saw Nicole standing there looking extremely incomfortable. I kinda wanted to slam the door in her face but decided against it. Instead I opened the door wider and said, "Uh...Hey how are you?"
Nicole looked like she was about to burst. " Zoey I missed you! I hate not talking to you! I hate it that we're fighting! My new roomates are mean! The hate me and you know how I can't stand being hated. Only, I'm not so crazy about them either. Oh and I have no classes with anyone I know. Well except You and Dana and Micheal and Chase-" Nicole stopped talking and looked at me." Have you been crying?"
"No- I mean yes. Oh, just come in," I said quickly because a few freshmen boys were staring and laughing as they looked in our direction.
"Nice room!" Nicole said immediatly. Great. I invited her in my room and BOOM we're best friends again and everything's back to normal. Sorry but she can't get off that easy.
"Thanks. Can you please tell me what the heck your talking about, only slower?" I asked.
"Ok, so You and Dana aren't in my room anymore-" Nicole started.
"Obviously," I murmured under my breath.
Nicole ignored me and went on," So I have these really rude, obnoxious, jerks as roomates."
"Who?" I asked. It was weird talking to her again. Like the past three or four months have been a bad dream. A very bad dream.
"Um... Natasha Bengstein and-" Nicole cut herself off.
"Let me guess. Lauren Newton?"
"How'd you know that?"
"Wild guess," I muttered.
"Yeah...Zoey that girl is so fake. She acted so sweet in Algebra 2 last year but when she's with her friends she's a total jerk,"
"How?" I asked flipping through a book.
"Well, for one thing she talks about you and Chase," She said.
I put down my book."What does she say?" I asked. My curiosity grew larger the more Nicole talked, which I'll have to admit, rarely happens.
"Like how she ruined your guy's relationship and stuff. It's really creepy. Like in those teen movies where there's a popular girl that loves making everyone's life miserable and then laughs about it with her sidekicks," Nicole said.
"Oh," I said.
"Don't you get it? It was all her. Chase didn't have anything to do with it!" Nicole exclaimed.
"Nicole...if that's true then why did Chase kiss her back? Why didn't he push her away?"
Nicole was quiet, "I don't know."
"Nicole? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.
"It was complicated. And I was afraid that if I told you, you would hate me and never speak to me again," Nicole lamely responded.
"Oh, come on. I would have been much happier to hear about my boyfriend kissing another girl from you, than some random guy in class," I said.
"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry."
"I know you are," I said and looked at my feet.
"No, Zo I'm really sorry. That was a a really suckish thing of Chase to do," Nicole said. I smiled. Nicole was still using the word 'suckish'.
"That's ok. I missed you too by the way." I said. Nicole smiled.
"Do you think that I could, maybe move in here?" she asked. "I can't stand being in my room with Natasha and Lauren anymore!" Shesaid franticly.
I sighed,"Sure."
"Yea! I'll go go get my stuff!" Nicole ran out of the room.
Everything was going exactly how I didn't want it to go.
A/N: I know, kind of a boring filler chapter but I promise the next on will be good. Just please review!
