Later on after school, Logan and Chase were in their dorm working on their English assignment.
"Okay… We have to write a persuasive paper on the negative affects of pollution." Chase began. However, when he looked up, he saw that Logan was not paying any attention to him, "Hey can you concentrate for a while, because the first draft is due in two days."
"I was just thinking." Logan admitted.
"About the assignment?" Chase hoped.
"No…" Logan sat up, "I was thinking about how Zoey and that new kid, Will, make a good couple."
"She doesn't like him." Chase reminded.
"Says who?" Logan challenged.
"Says Zoey." Chase declared.
"That's what she says now, but I watched a lot of TV, and I have found that when a good relationship starts, the two people hate each other at first… This only means that Will and Zoey are destined to be together." Logan triggered.
"That's stupid. They are not destined to be together… Maybe since they hate each other, it just might mean that they hate each other." Chase clarified.
"You're just mad because you might have competition." Logan confronted.
"I don't have competition," Chase denied, "Can we start on the assignment?"
Meanwhile, Zoey and Will were at the school's library working on their English assignment.
"Okay we have to write an informative paper about President John F. Kennedy." Zoey began.
"Whatever." Will said.
"Do you mind if you don't have an attitude right now? My god, why are you always so difficult to be around?" Zoey questioned.
"Where do you get off judging me? You don't even know me. Besides, I only said one word." Will debated.
"You know what! You've been here at PCA not that long, but I already know who you are." Zoey declared.
"And who am I?" Will wondered.
"You're obviously a cruel jerk with no self awareness about his actions. You care only about yourself and speak without thinking." Zoey labeled.
"Well you're obviously a preppy girl who is too busy about caring about school spirit. You do not have time for a life. In addition, I can tell that you're spoiled brat with absolutely no sense of tolerance." Will argued.
"You know what; I can tell you why you're parents sent you away. If I were your parents, I would have sent you across the country too..." Zoey insulted.
"Well if you can't bear to around me, why don't you finish the project by yourself?" Will got up, grabbed his stuff, and left.
While Chase and Logan were working on the persuasive paper, the boredom caused Logan to be distracted. Therefore, he changed the subject.
"Aren't you a bit curious what they are doing right now?" Logan asked.
"Who?" Chase knew that he should not have asked.
"Zoey and Will." Logan reminded.
"Actually I was thinking about the assignment. You know since we should be working on it." Chase ignored.
"But you have to think that since they are partners, they'll have some time to spend together." Logan stated.
"So?" Chase said.
"Think about it… Even though he's nothing compared to me, because I'm a pretty handsome guy," Logan blurted, "Will is an appealing guy. I mean maybe spending time with him; can help Zoey realize how much they are meant for each other."
"That won't happen. Now will you shut up so we can work on this project?" Chase began. However, Chase did not want to believe that Logan could have a point.
An hour later, Zoey felt guilty at what she said to Will. She knew he was not a reasonable person, but she had no right to be so mean to him. Therefore, when she saw him sitting on the fountain outside, she went over to him.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" Zoey asked.
Will looked up, "If you don't mind, I don't want to deal with anymore verbal abuse. So just leave me alone."
"Look if you give me a second, I would like to apologize." Zoey admitted.
"You do." Will said surprised.
"Look I had no right to call you those things and I'm not surprised if you'll hate me forever… I'm sorry." Zoey contributed.
"Well, I guess I'm not the most tolerable guy… I'm sorry for what I said too. I'm sure you're a nice girl… It's just when I'm really mad, I guess I act stupid." Will acknowledged.
"Why are you so mad?" Zoey wondered.
He put his head down in desolation. Zoey could tell that he was embarrassed or shy about the answer. She knew she had over stepped her boundaries.
"I'm sorry. It's none of my business." Zoey said.
"No, I guess if you won't tell anyone…" Will whispered.
"Of course I won't tell anyone." She agreed.
"It's just I moved here so quickly… You see my parents split a few months ago and the divorce was way too much for them so I guess they couldn't deal with a teenage kid, so they sent me here…" Will confessed.
"All by yourself?" Zoey speculated.
"They actually sent me to my grandparents because they live here in California, and they recommended I go to this school… But since my family fell apart, it sometimes feels like I'm all alone." Will illuminated.
"Well, I don't know how to fix your family, but if it helps, I always make a good friend. If you are in need of a friend." Zoey welcomed.
"I would love to have a friend." He embraced.
"You want to go get a smoothie or something." Zoey suggested.
"Sure." Will smiled.
"Okay let's go." Zoey said.
They got off from the fountain and headed to the smoothie shack. Without a doubt, anyone could tell that this was a start of a good friendship. Nonetheless, would it develop into something more?
