It was finally the day of the dance. In a few of hours, everyone would be heading to the beach dance. Everyone was nervous and anxious for the dance. Michael was going with a girl, Angela, who was in his Biology class. Quinn was going with Mark Del Figgalo. Lola and Nicole found dates to go with. Logan, who did not want to choose, decided to go with three girls. Moreover, the most talked about date, was Will and Zoey. No one knew how the date between them would turn out.
In the girl's dorm, since the dance was not until a few hours, the girls were talking about the dance. They were excited and perky. They had so much to talk about.
Lola and Nicole walked into their dorm and they saw Zoey in front of the mirror. She was getting ready for the dance.
"What are you doing?" Lola asked.
"I'm getting ready for the dance." Zoey answered.
"But the dance isn't in a few hours." Nicole noted.
"Yea but I want to look perfect." Zoey persisted.
"Why? It's just a dance." Lola labeled.
"Well I want to look beautiful for Will." Zoey replied.
"You really like Will don't you?" Nicole said.
"Yea I do." Zoey smiled.
Nicole and Lola looked at each other worried. They did not know if the date between Will and Zoey was a good idea.
"What's wrong?" Zoey turned around and faced them.
"We're just not sure you should go to the dance with him." Lola admitted.
"Why?" Zoey said confused.
"Well we don't really know him and you don't really know him because you've only known him for a little while." Nicole stated.
"Yea, but we have a connection." Zoey faced the mirror again.
"A connection?" Lola did not understand.
"He's just knows me and I know him. It's like we belong together. He means so much to me." Zoey confessed.
"After a few weeks you guys are already soul mates?" Lola debated.
"Its not like that. Its just something… You don't understand." Zoey responded.
"Yea, well you guys have a fun time at the dance and just forget about us." Lola argued.
"I'm not going to forget about you guys." Zoey declared.
"You just remember that." Lola said. She left the room and Nicole followed her.
It was an hour before the dance, anyone who was practically everyone, was getting ready for the dance. However, unexpectedly, Chase had decided not to go the Valentines Dance. The whole purpose of this dance was to pair up with your special one. Chase did not want to go all by himself and feel like an idiot.
Inside his dorm, Chase was laying on his bed playing games on his laptop. However, his peace was disturbed when his roommates, Michael and Logan, walked into the room. They were shocked to see Chase in his pajamas.
"Man what are you doing? Shouldn't you start getting ready for the dance?" Michael asked.
"I'm not going." Chase said arrogantly.
"What?" Logan interjected.
"Why not?" Michael demanded.
"Because I don't want to go alone." Chase was still playing on his laptop.
"You can have one of my dates." Logan offered.
"No thanks. I want to go with someone I actually care about." Chase responded.
"Man, this isn't a ball or something; its just an eight grade dance. It wasn't design to find your soul mates. It was design to have fun." Michael reminded and he snatched away Chase's laptop.
"Yea. That's right. So you are going to get up and go to that dance." Logan insisted.
"I don't have a ticket." Chase excused.
"They're selling more at the door." Michael informed.
"I don't have anything to wear." Chase exempted.
"Just pick out something nice to wear. It doesn't have to be expensive." Michael recommended.
"I don't know about it." Chase moaned.
"What now?" Logan questioned.
"It's just…. I don't want to go the dance and see Will and Zoey together. It'll make me feel like a real loser." Chase declared.
"I told you should have asked her." Logan said.
"I did ask her, but it was too late." Chase said.
"What did she say to you?" Michael speculated.
"Well I asked her to the dance. She said she would love to go the dance but Will had already asked her. She said that maybe we could have a few dances. And that she was really sorry." Chase recollected.
"Then you should defiantly go the dance if she said that." Logan contended.
"Why?" Chase said confused.
"Well if you think about it," Logan started to explain, "Remember she said that she would love to go the dance with you and the only reason she's going to the dance with Will is because he asked her first and she doesn't want to break a date…"
"What's your point?" Chase wondered.
"I'm saying that if she said she was sorry, it means that she wants you to be there… When you put the pieces together, she wants you man… What if Will turns back into the jerk he was. Zoey will be heartbroken. She needs someone to turn to. That is you man. You have to go that dance." Logan clarified.
"I don't know. I mean Will is what Zoey wants. And I'm just her friend. I mean, he's taller than I am. He's more athletic than I am. He's the bad boy and I'm the good guy. Why would Zoey want me instead of him? I don't think I should go." Chase debated.
"What do you have to lose?" Logan said.
"So," Michael spoke, "Are you going to the dance."
Chase took a deep breath and took a moment to think. What did he have to lose? Therefore, Chase said, "You bet I am going that dance!"
