I've been told Zoey's out of character…well, she's not really, because she's scolded and yelled at Chase dozens of times, so yeah. I'm kind of stumped here…
When Chase dropped Shana off at her dorm, other boyfriends were doing the same. Am I finally in the in-crowd? I'm just like everybody else, a happy, perfect life.
But when Chase opened the door, she saw Zoey on the laptop. That's when it entered his mind: he was sad.
He was going to say the usual, "What's up, Zoey?" thing, but he knew he had to ignore her and Nicole from now on.
When he walked back to his dorm room, Michael was trying to grow hair, and Logan was arguing with Michael that he was growing a mustache.
"Don't you see it?" Logan said, "Don't you see the little hairs…"
"Dude, I don't care about you and your mustache problems," Michael said, 'brushing' his 'hair'.
"Hey, can you guys keep it down? I'm tired, I want to lie down," Chase said. He lay down in his bed.
Logan shut off the light in the bathroom and sat by Chase's bed. "Why? Is little Chasey Wasey too tired wired?" Logan threw his head back, and laughed. He thought everything was funny.
"I want to think, if you have to be so nosey," Chase said, covering his face with the blanket.
Michael sighed, and complained, "Man, I'm not gonna grow anything. Mom said" this, Michael said in a high-pitched annoying voice, " 'never put around eye brows, your hairy arms, or the armpits us women don't need to know 'bout,' " Michael sighed, and put back his normal voice. "But hello? I don't see anything!"
Logan laughed again. "Dude, you've got like, all that cream on your arm and eye brows. More's growing there than your head,"
"Yeah, thanks," Michael said, sarcastically. Chase was already dozed off into sleep, and what he was dreaming about…only I know.
I walked along the shore, looking for shells for Shana's new necklace I'm going to make her. But as soon as I found the most beautiful shell, and somebody's feet had stepped upon it, as I was going to pick it up, Zoey's voice rang into my head. "Chase, who are you picking the shells for?" And I saw Zoey, and I answered,
"For you," even though it was for Shana.
"Really? Oh, Chase," Zoey seemed to forget all the bad things Chase had accidentally done. "Chase, I love you!" And of course, at the end of the dream – when Zoey had leaned in –
Michael was screaming at Chase, "Dude, wake up!" but Chase hadn't exactly listened. I swear, Chase thought, if Logan doesn't turn off his blow-drier, I will hurt him.
When Chase opened his eyes, Michael was shaking him, and shouting, "Get him out, quickly, he's not waking up,"
"What do you think he's doing?" Logan shouted to Michael over the roaring noise.
"He's weird! Get him out, the fire department will be here soon," Michael shouted.
Chase soon noticed his room was on fire – and his friends were trying to get him out of the mess – quickly.
His eyes opened as soon as possible, and the first thing that came to mind was Zoey and Shana. Are they okay? Where are they? What happened to them? Are they alive? I want to see them.
"He's up," Logan said to Michael. "Chase, get up – we've got the bathroom on fire!"
"Your blow-dryer," Chase muttered, getting up as quick as possible. Michael, Logan, and Chase ran out of the dorm, and the advisor rushed them.
"Quickly, you guys. I've evacuated the campus, we don't want this to spread," the advisor warned. "Get outside by the statue." The advisor went to double-check for anybody else.
Chase, Michael and Logan ran outside and Logan said to Zoey, "Did you smell the smoke from your hall?"
"No, but the alarms went off," Zoey answered.
Chase looked for Shana, obviously taking notice Zoey was ignoring him. Shana wasn't anywhere – where was she?
"Where's Shana?" Chase asked Nicole.
Nicole eyed him, and said, "I think the dorm advisor's still inside with her, she won't come out," Nicole said, just as naturally as ever.
"And you're not worried," Chase said.
"No, Coco is with her. Nothing can go wrong then," Nicole smiled and shrugged, talking to Zoey some more.
Chase ran inside, and noticed the fire was down the hallway of his hall, but not entering any rooms, but the knobs were hot.
"Shana?" called Chase, going to Brenner Hall as quickly as he could. "Shana! Coco! Where are you?" Chase entered room 101, and saw nobody but Shana lying on the bed.
Suddenly, the electricity went out. The fire was so loud, you could barely hear it crackling from Chase's bathroom, across the building. The alarm was still going off, and the electricity wasn't working, it was more like blinking.
"Shana, get up," Chase said, shaking Shana. "Get up, this is your life you're depending on!" Chase picked up Shana, and went to the door – the fire surrounding the doorway. How could it have gotten this far?
