Loving From a View
I should have ran
Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101. I know scary.
Dana's POV
"You want an answer?" I asked her.
"I want an answer, too," Logan said.
"Leave her alone. She is confused," Zoey said coming to my defense.
"No I'm not," I said.
Logan looked at me hurt. Nicole looked at me mad.
"I think. . .," Zoey started.
"No one cares!" Nicole yelled at her.
"Nicole!" Chase screamed looking at her and pulled a hurt Zoey to him.
"What?" she asked.
"I think we should talk about this later," Zoey said.
"Please shut it miss perfect," Logan said.
Nicole giggled at Logan. She looked at him with her I-want-you-eyes. It is about time she tries to take my boo from me. Nicole would do something like that to get back at me. She looked back to me.
"Logan please shut up. Why are you acting like you really want to know what Dana has to say. You don't care about her. You just want to win that bet with Jeremy." Chase yelled. "Yea I said it."
"What?" I asked.
"Are you for real? Jeremy is like that?" Nicole asked.
"Yea. I should know he is my cousin. Him and Logan had this plan for a week already," Chase said.
"But he has a girlfriend," I said.
"He has a girlfriend?" Nicole asked sad.
"Yea," I said to Nicole.
"Well he cheats on her more times then he is with her," Chase said.
"Chase, he is you cousin. You shouldn't tell his secrets," Logan said.
"You were yelling at my girlfriend," Chase said.
"Ex girlfriend." Zoey said. I was surprised by this. She pulled away form him.
"What?" he asked.
"Chase you knew and didn't tell me about the bet. Dana is my best friend. And you were going to let her get hurt?" Zoey asked.
"You see what you did?" I asked Logan.
"Me?" he asked.
"It was your bet," I reminded him.
"You kissed the boy your best friend likes," Logan said reminding me.
"Used to like. I not going to ruin a friendship over a boy. A boy that cheats on his girlfriend. A boy that makes bets on a girl he doesn't even know," Nicole said to my defense. She walked up to my side.
"Logan?" I asked softly.
"Yea," he said looking in my eyes.
"So today, that was all lies? Just to win a bet? Thanks. You almost won. How much would you have won? How much is Dana Cruz worth?" I asked. My voice was soft at first but was high at the end.
"No. Nothing I said to you was a lie. I do like you. I love you. You could even ask Chase," Logan said.
"Humm. This is what you do when you love a girl? Chase does he love me?" I asked. I never moved my eyes off Logan.
"I don't know. I just know that they made the bet because Jeremy was mad that Logan was always talking about you," Chase said. He was mad about loosing Zoey. It was clear. She stood next to Nicole looking at Chase.
"So do you know how much I was worth?" I asked.
"No," he said.
"Logan how much was Dana Cruz worth?" I asked Logan as he put his head down.
"Come on. The girl you so called liked or loved how much is she worth?" I asked again. My voice raised and cracked at the same time.
"Dana, stop," Zoey said pulling my arm.
"It wasn't money," Logan said.
"Then what?" I asked.
He just looked down. Being very quiet.
"Logan tell me or. . ." I said .
"A can of soda!" he screamed looking up at me. His eyes were filled with hurt. He seemed ready to cry. I am the one hurt!
"So that is what you call love. I wonder if you would bet your hair on a can of soda?" I asked. I was mad. "How much is a can a soda?" I asked. No one spoke. If they did I would go crazy on them and they knew that.
".50 cents to a $1.50," Nicole answered.
They all looked at her.
"Thanks," I said turning to her.
"Dana it was just a stupid dare," Logan said.
"It didn't mean nothing," Chase said defending his friend that broke up him and the girl of his dreams.
"Okay,"I said walking to Logan.
I saw their little refrigerator they had next to Logan. I opened it and grab a can of soda.
"So I was worth this?" I asked putting it is his face.
He nodded his head.
"That was what you were worth in the bet. You are worth so much more to me." he said.
"So would you bet your hair on this?" I asked.
"No," he said.
I opened the can of soda and spilled it all over his hair. He jumped back but it was to late. The soda was gone and on him. I took the soda can and squeezed it together in my hand. I didn't even know I could do that. I threw it in his face.
"Look you don't bet on it but it is in your hair. Don't bet on me. Don't lie to me. Don't talk to me. Don't even look at me. I am gone in 3 weeks anyway," I said.
"What?" Zoey and Nicole asked.
"I will explain later," I said and walked out the door.
Damn. I should have ran, I thought. I put my hands in Logan sweater. Shit! I am wearing his pants too. There is something in his pocket. I pull out a note. . .
