As The Rain Falls
Chapter 2
Breaking Glass
No One POV
Zoey and Nicole ended up going to bed early that night. Nicole also had a big day; she was a new waitress at Sushi Rox. 'Too bad you aren't coming there, Zoey', Nicole told Zoey before she went off for work. Zoey was a nervous wreck. She couldn't believe all of this was happening. She didn't know how Chris knew who she was, why he painted her, all she knew was that she was going on a date with him. She had gotten a lot of glares from jealous girls while she was at breakfast. 'I can't believe she'sgoing out with Chris Thomason.' she heard one girl say from behind her. Sometimes, Zoey wanted to slap them, other times, she just ignored them. What Zoey wanted to know the most, though, was how they found out. She thought it would probably be Nicole, but what if Chris did it? Is he a big jerk like Logan? Thoughts were racing through her mind, but she was still excited about her date with him.
"Zoey! Zoey! Wait up! Hey! Zoey!" Zoey heard footsteps running behind her. She turned around and saw Chase, sprinting as fast as he could, running into people, and yelling her name. Zoey laughed, and waited until Chase caught up with her. "Hey Chase." Zoey said, still laughing. "Hey, Zoey." He said, panting. "Guess what!" Chase said, excited. "Omigosh what?" Zoey said, acting like Nicole.
"I got a job at the Paper Lantern!" Chase said, still excited.
"Really, umm...that's great Chase!" Zoey said, trying to sound excited for him.
"So, umm...Zoey, would you like to come there with me tonight and have dinner, you know just as friends."
"Umm...Chase, I have a date there tonight." Zoey said, feeling a little guilty.
"Oh." Chase said, slightly disappointed. "Well, maybe some other time." He told Zoey, and he walked off.
How could she? Chase thought, walking away from Zoey. I knew she had a date, I just didn't believe it. I feel like such an idiot. I should've asked her out three years ago. When I got hot. Chase was angry. He wanted to get Zoey back from whoever she was with.
"Hey, babe." Dana turned around and saw Logan standing behind her, smirking.
"Logan, what do you want?" Dana said, loving him on one side of her head, but on the other side, hating him with all she had.
"You." Logan said, and he sat down beside her on the hot sand.
"Logan, you have three seconds to run before I beat you up." Dana said, standing up.
"Chill, babe, you know you want me." Logan said, smirking.
"Three." Dana said glaring at Logan like she was seriously going to kill him. "Two." Dana was ready. She was mad enough to beat him up. "One." Dana said as Logan stood up.
"Dana, stop acting like you don't want me babe." He said, putting his arms around her waist.
At one moment for Dana, it felt so right. Then the next, she just got sick of it.
"Logan." She yelled, angrier than ever.
WHAM! She punched him in the eye. It was getting blacker by the moment.
"Ow." Logan said, falling down.
"You deserved it Logan Reese." Dana said, and she grabbed her purse and stormed off.
Logan laid on the sand for over an hour. He was getting a really great tan, but he was in pain and couldn't see out of his left eye. Thirty more minutes went by, and then Logan saw a small tan figure walking towards him with a bag of ice. She got closer and closer, and Logan could now see who it was.
"If you say one word while I'm doing this for you, I'll punch the other eye." Dana said, her voice filled with anger.
Logan stayed quiet while she held the ice on his eye. Finally, she spoke.
"You know, Logan, I wouldn't be such a jerk to you if you weren't so full of yourself." She said, less anger coming out of her voice.
"But-" Logan started.
"Hey, did I say you could talk yet?" Dana said smiling.
Logan sighed. He knew if he wanted Dana to like him, or act like he liked him, he would either have to:
A.) Do whatever she told him to.
B.) Or, make her jealous.
He thought about it for a while, and he chose B.
"I think it's better." He said, getting up.
"Fine then." Dana said. Logan could already tell she was mad.
"Hey, Autumn!" Logan yelled, walking over to a hot blonde and her two equally glamorous friends, Rebecca and Savannah, who were all wearing skimpy bikinis.
"Hey Logan" They said in sexy voices, giggling.
"I was wondering, would you girls like to come up to my dorm?" Logan was smirking, and Dana was getting red in the face.
"What about your girlfriend?" Savannah said, pointing at a red-faced Dana.
"Who? Dana?" Logan said, acting shocked. "Dana Cruz will never be my girlfriend. I'm to hot for her." He added in a whisper.
The three girls giggled, and Logan put his arms around Autumn and Savannah's waists.
Dana walked off, angry, and pushed people down that got in her way. She couldn't believe Logan did that to her.
She knew she would have to win Logan, but how?
"Zoey! Are you in the shower?" Zoey heard Nicole screaming in the bathroom.
"Yeah, Nicole." Zoey said, putting conditioner in her hair.
"Oh, okay. Come straight to the dorm when you get out." Nicole said, and she walked out of the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later, Zoey came into the dorm, her hair dry, wearing a robe.
"Zoey, what are you going to wear?" Nicole asked, jumping up and down.
"I honestly have no clue." Zoey said opening her closet door.
"Well...Can I help?" Nicole asked, sitting down on her bed and springing back up again.
"Umm...sure, Nicole, just don't kill yourself." Zoey said, while Nicole was running over to the closet.
Thirty minutes later, Zoey had on a short denim skirt, and a hot pink shirt that said 'Do You Believe in Love at First Sight? (Or Should I Walk By Again?)' and she chose her purse that she made out of old blue jeans and a skirt.
"Zoey you look awesome!" Nicole said, while Zoey put on some high heels.
"Thanks, Nicole, he'll be here in one minute. So you're sure I look okay?" Zoey said, talking fast.
"You look fine." Nicole said.
"Nicole, I feel kind of bad for Chase. He works where me and Chris are going tonight. What if he gets mad?" Zoey said, feeling butterflies in her stomach.
"Relax, Zo. Nothings going to happen." Nicole said, putting her arm around Zoey's shoulder.
There was a knock at the door. "Zoey, Chris is here." a muffled voice came through the door, sounding slightly jealous.
"Bye." Nicole and Zoey said to each other as Zoey walked out the door.
Zoey walked out to the girls' lounge. Chris was standing there, in jeans and a t-shirt.
He doesn't look rich. Zoey thought to herself, walking over to him. He gave her a small peck on her cheek.
"Are you ready?" He said, sounding a little nervous.
"Yeah." Zoey said, smiling.
They walked out together to the school parking lot.
"I thought that the limo driver could take us so we could talk in the back." Chris said, pointing to a big, white limo.
"Cool. I've only ridden in a limo at my aunts wedding." Zoey said, as Chris opened the door for her. She looked in, and saw a bouquet of red roses and soft music was playing.
"It's beautiful in here." Zoey said in awe.
"Thanks." Chris said, hopping in behind her.
They sat in silence for 10 minutes when they came to a stop.
"I guess we're here." Chris said, opening the door. "Stay there." He told her, and shut the door. He walked around the limo and came to Zoey's side. He opened the door for her.
"Thanks." Zoey said, loving how the date was going so far.
They walked into the restaurant. When they got to the table, Chris pulled out the chair for Zoey. She liked Chris, but she wondered how he knew her. Why did he paint her? Why did he ask her out?
"Welcome to the Paper Lantern, my name's Chase. What would you like to drink?" A familiar voice said.
Chase looked down. He saw Zoey and...was that Chris? His friend from biology? His friend who kept asking about Zoey? The rich kid who moved here from Alabama? Chase got angrier and angrier. He told Chris that he liked Zoey. Why did Chris ask her out?
"I'd like sweet tea." Zoey said in her southern accent that Chase loved.
"I'd like that, too." Chris said, smiling.
Chase went to go get their drinks. He was mad at Chris. He was mad at Zoey, too. She didn't do anything, but, he just was.
"Here's your drinks." Chase said, sitting Chris's down so hard it shook the table. He made a big mistake with Zoey. When he sat hers down, the glass shattered and the tea got all over her. The glass shot into some of her arm, and Chase got stabbed by it in the hand. Little pieces of glass were stuck in Zoey's arms, and she was crying. Every time she tool some of the glass out, Her arm started bleeding more and more. Chase knew what he had done. He had ruined his and Zoey's friendship.
"Chase what is your problem?" Chris said to Chase, really angry.
Zoey continued crying. She was so mad at Chase. She couldn't believe she had done that to her.
"Come on, Zoey. Chris said, taking her by the hand. "We're going to get you to the doctor."
"Okay." Zoey said, still sniffling a little, and she and Chris walked out of the door.
"Way to go, fella." Chase's friend who also worked there, Miles, said, patting him on the back.
"Yeah, thanks, Miles." Chase said, and he stood there, watching Zoey walk out of the door.
Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
The Killers- All These Things That I've Done. That's my favorite song.
