Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Zoey 101 but if I did that would be really fantastic

Chapter 2: Broken dreams

It was morning the day after arriving back at PCA and Chase was lying down in his bed thinking about the hug Zoey had given him the day before. It wasn't like they had never hugged because they had just not very often and only small quick ones. Chase wasn't counting but it had felt like it had lasted for eternity even though it was probably about 10 seconds. That was still quite long though Chase reasoned. As well as that though, it had felt different from the old hugs. Chase didn't know how or why but it had felt different.

Chase was starting to fall back to sleep when he heard someone knock at the door. He slowly got up and opened the door to see his DA standing outside. Chase had never seen his DA before but he was wearing a badge with DA on it so you didn't have to be a genius to work it out.

"Hello," said Chase politely. By the way his DA was sneering at him Chase realised he was probably not very nice and he should stay out of his way.

"Hi," he snapped and barged past Chase into his room. "God it stinks in here." He grabbed his nose to keep him away from the stench.

Chase just stayed at the doorway speechless, it was his luck that he had to get the most horrible DA ever. He could make Chases life hell though so Chase decided to try and be nice to him.

"Yere um …….. Sorry about that." Chase wouldn't say anything but he was sure it was his DA that stunk. "So I'm Chase, what's your name?"

The DA just stood there staring at Chase like he was an alien. "I'm your DA and that's all you need to know." Chase had to hold himself back from laughing as the DA was still holding his nose so his voice sounded really stupid. If was a good job he did because the DA looked like he was about to explode.

"The Dean wants you to come to his office after lessons finish tomorrow." By the look on his face Chase was sure he had done something wrong and was going to be punished badly for it.

"What did I do ?" Chase asked slowly.

"You did it YOU IDIOT, I don't what stupid teenagers like you do." With that he left but he made sure to slam the door behind him

What a start to the year Chase thought he already had to go and see the dean and his DA was a complete as whole.

Chase thought

"What's going on?" Michael said groggily as he had been woken up by the DA slamming he door.

Chase couldn't be bothered to explain so he just said "Logan was snoring again." Michael was fully awake now and he picked up his alarm clock and threw it at Logan, thankfully it only hit Logan's covers but it still hurt enough to wake him up.

"Logan, stop snoring."

"I wasn't." Logan replied as he moved his head under the pillow to block out Michaels annoying voice. Michael grinned s he quietly go down from the top bunk of his and Chases bed and took the hand mirror that was at Logan's bedside.

"Logan I'm going to break our precious mirror if you don't get me breakfast and if you snore again." Logan jumped up out of bed and looked round to see Michael dangling his mirror over the edge of his bunk. Michael and Chase turned round in disgust as Logan only had these tight boxes on.

"Put some clothes on man." Chase said while he shielded his eyes from the horrible view. Michael gagged in disgust and accidentally dropped Logan's mirror onto the floor from the top bunk causing it to break.

Logan watched on in horror. "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". He fell down to the floor crying and fingering at what remained of his beloved mirror. "WHY GOD? WHY ME?" Chase decided it was time to leave before his name came up and he didn't think Logan would appreciate Chase falling down in a fit of laughter at Logan's antics.

Zoey woke up at ten and looked around her room. She felt a slight twinge of pain but it was so small she ignored it and she was still trying to forget what had happened. It was just her and Nicole as Lola had been moved to share a dorm with Quinn. Zoey felt sorry for both of them as they didn't get along that well. They were very different people.

Zoey and Nicole had had a bad nights sleep as Nicole had been shouting all night and jumping around as she had found out that Dana was going to stay in Paris for another year. Nicole would usually be up by now as she needed at least an hour and a half to get ready for school and cute boys but she was tired from all the jumping around last night and she had gone to bed late. Luckily school started tomorrow so she was ok.

Zoey looked around at the empty single bed at the other side of the room. She liked her and Nicole having a room to themselves and wasn't really looking forward to the prospect of yet another new roommate.

Coco had come in yesterday to tell them that their new roommate would be a transfer student and that she would be arriving a few days late. She would be the same age as Zoey and Nicole so Zoey was supposed to show her around and befriend her.

Zoey looked at her watch and saw it was 11 o'clock so she decided to get out and see who was already up. She left Nicole sleeping as after last night Nicole would need all the sleep she could get.

Chase was watching TV in the boys lounge with another guy about his age who Chase thought was called something like Tim, or it might be Tom, he wasn't that sure.

Chase was about to fall asleep when he heard his mobile phone go off. He froze instantly remembering what had happened over the summer holidays. Towards the end of the holidays this guy had started threatening Chase that he was going to come over to his house and kill him.

"Answer the phone already," snapped Tim or Tom or whatever he was called, Chase didn't really care.

"Hello," Chase said tentatively as he put his ear to the phone.

"Hi Chase," Chase signed in relief that is was only Zoey.

"Hi Zoey, you have know idea how good it is to hear your voice." Zoey blushed but she wasn't sure why.

Why are you so glad to hear my voice?" Zoey asked.

"Umm…………" Chase stalled as he thought of as answer that would not tell her he fancied her or that someone had tried to kill him. "Quinn keeps calling me and asking her to be in one of her experiments; after she has called you about ten times it gets annoying."

"Oh …ok." Chase knew his answer was lame and that Zoey didn't by it so he decided to move on quickly.

"Why did you call?" He asked, he was trying to make Zoey forget about his slip of the tongue and it worked.

"I was really bored and wanted to know if you wanted to come over to the girls dorm to hang out?" Chase smiled as he would never pass up an opportunity to spend time with Zoey.

"Sure. I will come over in about 30 minutes ok."

"Yere. See you later Chase."

"Bi," Chase replied before he put the phone down.

Phew he said to himself as that had been a close call.

He didn't want Zoey to worry about what had happened at the end of the holidays.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoey was pacing around the girls dorm with butterflies in her stomach. She was so nervous about telling Chase but she knew she had to.

You will find out what happened to Chase and Zoey over the holidays in the next few chapters and what does Zoey want to tell Chase (I think it will surprise you).

Please don't forget to read and review. I really want to get some feedback about what you think of my story so far.
