A week has past and they were now selling tickets for the Valentine's Dance. After school, during dinner, everyone was in a hurry to buy their tickets.
Chase, on the other hand, was not going to buy tickets because he did not feel like going to the event. He just watched couples buy the tickets. If he went to the dance, he would have to go by himself. He did not feel like going to the dance all by himself.
Logan had walked up to Chase, "I have three girls who asked me to go to the dance with them…"
"Congratulations." Chase said sarcastically.
"Now I have to choose one. Man! Life can be hard." Logan sat down.
"Yea, it must suck having three girls who actually like you." Chase said frustrated.
"Man! What's your problem?… Aren't you going to the dance?" Logan asked.
"No." Chase said.
"What? Why not?" Logan wondered.
"I just don't want to go to the dance all by myself and feel like an idiot." Chase explained.
"You haven't asked Zoey yet?" Logan questioned.
"No… Why would I? I know she's going to the dance with Will." Chase assumed.
"That's not true." Logan told.
"What?" Chase started to feel hope.
"She's not going to the dance with Will." Logan clarified.
"How do you know that!" Chase pleaded.
"I'm the grapevine here at PCA. I know everything. I know who is going to the dance with who and the last I heard was that Zoey and Will weren't going to the dance together." Logan elucidated.
"So I still have a chance!" Chase said hopeful.
"Yea." Logan said, "But you better ask as soon as possible."
"Okay. When?" Chase asked.
"Now!" Logan ordered.
Chase hopped out of his seat and headed away. He was in search of Zoey. This was his chance. This was his chance to ask Zoey out. He knew that this Dance was fate. It was fate to bring Zoey and Chase together.
Meanwhile, while Chase was looking for Zoey, she was hanging out with Will in the park. He was showing pictures of his hometown, New York.
"This is so cool! Time Square, Planet Hollywood, Hall Street, and Central Park. You've been to all of these places." Zoey was amazed.
"At least once a week." Will informed.
"This is so cool." Zoey said still looking at the pictures, "I bet you miss it there."
"I sure do… I miss my family, my friends, and my home." Will recollected.
"Do you ever want to go back?" Zoey wondered.
"Well at first I did… But ever since I met you, it's been nice here." He flirted.
"You've been a good friend too." Zoey said.
Will took a deep breath and said, "And I would like to thank you."
"You're welcome." She said.
"Well actually, I would like to thank you another way." Will elucidated.
"How?" Zoey pondered.
Will started to get nervous, "Well the um… the dance is coming up and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me."
"The Valentines Dance?" Zoey repeated.
"Or we can go as friends, unless you want to go as a date, then we could, you know, can go together." Will said hesitant.
"Do you want to go as a date or something?" Zoey speculated.
"I really like you and um well I can't imagine going with anyone else… So do you want to go with me?" Will asked again.
