Chapter 1:

The Three "Love-Kateers"

There she was. A golden beauty, shining in the sunlight. Zack could see the golden rays glowing around her.

Max was walking up the walkway to the school, with Tapeworm following her. She was all Zack could think of. He was crazy about her. He just hoped she felt the same way. He knew she felt something for him due to the fact that she once agreed to go out with him. But now, they were just friends. 'Friends' thought Zack. Zack slammed his fist down on the bench. ' Why can't we be more?'he thought angrily.

" What's the matter?" asked Cody in concern.

" Nothing." replied Zack.

Cody didn't buy that. He never did. Cody glanced to his left. ' Oh, Max.' thought Cody. 'He's nuts about her.' he thought.

"Dude, you gonna be okay?" asked Cody, a little annoyed.

" Yeah, I already said I'd be fine didn't I?" said Zack, annoyed that his brother wasn't leaving him alone.

" Okay, okay" said Cody, backing off and rolling his eyes.

Max came by and sat down between Zack and Cody.

"So, what's hangin " she asked nonchalantly.

"Not much. What's up with you?" asked Zack, ignoring his anger.

"Not much. Hey Cody." she replied.

For a few minutes they all sat in peace waiting for the warning bell to ring.

"So I was thinking, do you, and Tapeworm want to come over after school?" asked Zack, desperate to spend every possible moment with her. Maxed glanced at Tapeworm and shrugged.

"Sure, we'd love to go." said Maz, accepting his offer. The bell rang. 'Yes' Zack thought. 'She's coming!' he thought happily.

Max began daydreaming in Math class that day. She loved Zack so much, but she was afraid that he didn't love her. She dreamed of them being boyfriend and girlfriend. She dreamed of romantic evenings and happy moments between her and Zack. Oh how she loved him. She loved him so much. She couldn't wait for tonight. She had decided that tonight would be the night where she would ask him out. Tonight was the night. 'But what will I say,' Max thought to herself, ' What will I say?' Max asked herself. She just couldn't wait for that night.

Zack awaited the end of the day bell eagerly. Zack had decided that tonight would be the night. Tonight he would ask Max out, and see if she really loved him. His only question is what he would say. He had to make it romantic of course. 'I got it!' exclaimed Zack to himself. 'I'll have Cody make a romantic dinner, and we can have a lovely evening. And then, at the end, I'll ask her the question. It's perfect' thought Zack. Suddenly the bell rang, and Zack dashed out of the classroom. He just had to ask Max tonight. He had to. He ran out the front doors, and ran right into Cody.

"Oh, sorry Cody." apologized Zack.

" Let me guess, you were in a hurry to see your sweet love, Max." said Cody, rolling his eyes.

"Yup." said Zack, and then he hurried off to meet Max at the bike rack.

Cody's Point of View:

Ugggggggh! I hate hiding my feelings like this! Cody, why can't you just tell Zack! Well, if I told Zack, he'd murder me. He adores Max, but so do I. What do I do, what do I do. I got it! I'll ask Max out tonight, and ask her to keep our relationship secret, so that I don't get killed by Zack. I'll create a secret romantic dinner for her! Then I'll give her some roses, some chocolates, and it'll be great! I'll have Max won over by tonight. Zack sighed. Tonight will be a new beginning!
