Chapter Name : The Dance Floor

Chapter Summary: When its actually time to dance, Zoey and the gang have a hard time having a good time.


Michael and his date, Logan and his three dates, and of course single Chase, walked onto the beach. The student council did a great job decorating the beach. They actually gave the beach a winter twist. There were little fake penguins scattered around. There were igloos on every corner. Lastly, they had a machine that blew snowflakes every ten minutes. It actually looked like it was snowing.

"This place looks great." Michael said.

"Yea… Let's dance." Michael's date, insisted. She dragged Michael out to the dance floor, leaving Logan (with his three dates) alone with Chase.

However, things changed when Logan saw Zoey sitting all by herself at a table. He knew that Chase should make his move now.

"Excuse me ladies… Chase and I have to have a moment alone." Logan asked and his dates walked away.

"What do you want?" Chase wondered.

"Look." Logan pointed to Zoey.

"Yea, its Zoey…" Chase recognized.

"And she is all by herself. You should go over there and make your move." Logan suggested.

"I can't go over there. I just don't feel like it… It doesn't seem like the right time." Chase admitted.

"It'll never feel like the right time. Now just go over there!" Logan physically pushed Chase.

After a few steps, Chase walked closer to Zoey. Chase noticed that Will was nowhere in sight. Maybe this was his moment to ask her to dance. Maybe this was his one chance to be with Zoey.

"Hey Zoey." Chase confronted.

"Hey." Zoey smiled.

"How are you? Are you having a good time?" Chase wondered.

"Well, I guess? What about you? Are you having a good time?" Zoey replied.

"I just go here." Chase answered.

When a few moments of silence had past, Chase wanted to ask her to dance. He wanted to spend some time with her.

"So do you wanna…" However, before he could finish his sentence (to ask her to dance), Will had walked up. He had two drinks of punch with him.

"Hey, Zoey… I got the drinks." He gave her a drink.

"Thanks." Zoey said, "Oh yea, Will this is my friend Chase and Chase this is my… This is William."

"Hi." Chase greeted. The truth was Chase wanted to hit him hard. He wanted him to leave Zoey's picture.

"Hey." Will responded.

Just as things were silent between the three, the fast moving tempo song had transformed into a slow song. Chase knew what was going to happen next.

"Do you wanna dance?" William asked Zoey.

"Uhh… Sure." Zoey was hesitant with her answer.

Zoey said goodbye to Chase and they headed to the dance area. Chase watched them walked away. He saw his one chance with Zoey go away.


While the slow song was playing, everyone found someone to dance with. Will and Zoey were dancing, and so were Michael and his date, Lola and her date, Nicole and her date. Logan and found a way to dance with his two dates; more importantly, Logan was even nice enough to allow Chase to dance with one of his dates.

Every now and then Chase had looked up and saw Zoey dancing with Will. She looked so happy and he thought that she was having a good time. He felt heartbroken.

Nonetheless, the truth was Zoey was not really enjoying the dance. When she looked up, she saw Lola looking at her furiously and she saw Nicole looking at her sorrowfully. Zoey was not having a good dance.

William knew that something was not right. He knew that he should say something but he did not want to say something stupid. Therefore, he would say something genuine and caring.

"Are you okay?" He said as they were still dancing.

"What… Oh, yea. I'm fine." Zoey said unconvincing.

"You don't look like your having a good time. Is it something I did?" He said concerned.

"No. You didn't do anything. And you are right. I should be having a good time. Its only fair to you." Zoey confessed.

"I want you to have a good time only if feel like it. Don't pretend like you are having a fun time just for my satisfactory." Will recommended.

However before they could finish the conversation, the slow song transformed back into the fast moving song. Everyone around them started dancing to the fast song.

"I have to go the bathroom." Zoey left the area before Will could run after her.

She wanted to have a good time at the dance, but something was not allowing her. All of this was overwhelming to her. She needed a break.
