Author's Note: Okay, so here is the second chapter, I'll try to make my chapters longer from now on. This might not turn out to good considering that I'm only running on chocolate and soda! (super tired!)!
Chapter 2- Date PlansMaddie turned off her computer and sighed. True, she had made a desperate move looking for a guy on the single teen chat room, but it turned out to be the right move. She met this really great guy, or so it seemed. She knew that people didn't always tell the truth about their info and all that in chat rooms; she knew that people lied about their age. But this guy seemed different; he didn't seem to be the type to lie like that.
She pulled up her blonde hair and got ready for bed. Still thinking of the guy she had just met. He was a twin, which means if he was hot London could go out with his brother. She laughed a little and fell asleep, thinking of the previous events.
The next morning, Zack walked over to the candy counter coolly. He was ready to tell Maddie he had found another girl, but that he still had a special place for her in his heart. He wanted it to sound serious, but every time he said it out loud it sounded stupid.
"Maddie, I have to talk to you…" Zack said with a strong tone, hoping to sound manly.
"Sure Zack, what do ya need?" Maddie asked happily.
"Well…Maddie, you know we've have had this thing going on for a while" Zack said, hoping not to break her heart.
"Uh, what thing?" the blonde replied trying to stifle a laugh.
"You know, how we like each other and all." Zack answered.
"Oh yeah, that imaginary thing. Where you liked me and wouldn't leave me alone. Constantly calling me a "sweet thang". I remember that. But that wasn't our thing, it was yours." She retorted. Now bursting with laughter. Holding back a laugh wasn't working out too well with her right now.
"Well, anyway…I've found myself a new girl. We can still be friends can't we? I know I've just broke your heart and all." He said realizing how stupid he really did sound.
"Yes, I'll never be the same now that my heart is in pieces…oh woe is me…" Maddie said dramatically with the back of her hand on her forehead.
"Okay, I'm glad you're not too upset!" Zack said a little too disappointed that Maddie wasn't really heartbroken. But then again, he had known all along she hadn't liked him the way he had her.
"So, who is this mystery girl anyway?" Maddie said in a happy tone.
"You wouldn't know her. But she is totally hot, like movie star hot!" Zack replied, hoping his chat room babe wouldn't turn out to be an Agnice look-a-like.
"She sounds, umm, pretty, I guess." Maddie said with a ting of jealousy, but she didn't want to show it.
"Where'd you meet her?" Maddie questioned, wondering where he blonde friend had met his "dream girl".
"Umm, okay this is going to sound really weird, but I met her online. I…I mean, at the park! Yeah, at the park. That's where I met her." Zack stammered.
"Oh, so you met her online? So you're finally over me, I wondered how long it would take you. And to think, I was about to go on a date with you!" Maddie said with a smile while laughing.
"Well why didn't you tell me! I wouldn't have been in a chat room in the first place if I had known. But I'll take you out on a date if this whole thing with my chat room babe doesn't work out." Zack exclaimed in a flirty manner.
"Sorry Zack…I'm hoping I still won't be single by that time. But next time I'm all alone and I need some chores to be done, I'll call ya!" She said with a wink. Which reminded her of doing the laundry, she was running out of outfits to wear.
"Okay, call me anytime!" Zack chimed as he walked off to meet his brother in the lobby.
The two boys headed towards the arcade. Yes, they were sixteen, but they still loved to go to the arcade and hang out with Tapeworm and Max. Maddie's nineteenth birthday was coming up soon and Zack wanted to get her something extra special. But he would think about that later, it was time for him to get on the computer and talk to his "dream girl".
He quickly said goodbye to Cody and the others and darted for his suite.
"Hi, honey! How's it going?" Carrie asked her son as he speed through the door.
"Can't talk, sorry!" Zack replied as he ran for the room that he and his brother shared.
Zack logged onto the chat room and looked for the girl he had previously talked to. After two hours of talking Zack had found out she lived Boston like he did, her favorite color was green because it reminded her of the forest which she was determined to save, and that her birthday was coming up soon.
They decided to meet a week from then on her birthday at the Tipton lobby. He would wear a red baseball cap and she would have on a red scarf. They said goodbye and logged off their accounts, anticipating the coming week. Just then, Cody burst through the door.
"Zack, will you promise not to say a word if I tell you something?" Cody asked his brother.
"Tell me. I can keep a secret, or at least I think I can…" Zack said with a grin.
"No, you have to give me your word. You CAN NOT tell a soul about this." Cody replied seriously.
"Okay, okay…now tell me!" Zack said, growing impatient.
"I like London…" Cody said.
"Aren't you batting out of your league there? London is totally not your type, plus, you would never have a chance with her!" Zack said seriously mentally noting how sad Cody's face looked.
"What makes you say that?" Cody questioned.
"Come on! She is a billionaire, she is hot, and she is like three years older than you! Put the pieces together buddy, you have no chance with her." Zack replied thinking that Cody was out of his mind.
"Maddie is three years older than you and you still are going after her!" Cody angrily said to his twin.
"One, I'm not going after Maddie anymore, we decided to be friends. Two, Maddie will be three years older than me in less than a week. So that means she is only two years older than me. And three, I have a new girl to chase after…except this time I'm not doing the chasing." Zack said.
"Whoa, a new girl! Who is she?" Cody asked his twin, hoping to get the scoop on the new girl.
"I met her at the park, her name is…umm…Candy…yeah, Candy. She lives across town, and we are planning to meet next week in the lobby." Zack replied, unsure of what to say. He didn't want Cody to know he had been desperate enough to go into the singles chat room.
"And I'm the Queen, well actually King of England!" Cody said sarcastically.
"Fine, you can come with me to meet her in the lobby next week and I'll show you!" Zack replied.
"Okay, I'm going to go to bed, night!" Cody said as he laid down into his bed and shut his eyes.
"Goodnight!" Zack said as he laid his head on his pillow.
Zack spent the remainder of the night trying to get to sleep, but he kept thinking about his mystery girl. What she would look like, what she like for her birthday. He figured he would just take her out to eat and buy her some roses or some chocolate, or both. Well he couldn't spend his time thinking of what she would look like, he would just have to wait and see.
Authors Note: So what do you think? I don't know if I like this chapter, but I guess it is all up to you guys. I'm guessing this story will be about 5-6 chapters long. I don't want to write a novel or anything for my first story. So I'll take it slow. Thanks for reading!
