The Notebook

-Chapter 12-

November 9, 2006

Chase,

No, I'm not upset. Just a bit distracted lately, that's all. It would be fun to do new cheesy writing ideas. You can start.

Zoe,

Good. Now that that's over, I am releived. So, I have a story. Kinda. Logan and Dana are now officially "together". You're missing so much. You're busy schedule needs to clear up fast so we can ALL hang out. Everyone misses you still.

Ok here's an writing idea I found.

Today's topic: If you owned a store, what would you do to discourage people from stealing from you?

I'd glare at them like a phychotic ninja ready to pummel the first person to attempt stealing from my store. And if they did, I'd shove peanuts up their noses and shave them bald.

Sincerely, Chase

P.S. YES! There's a sub in this class! Maybe we can look at each other without facing the risk of getting in trouble.

Chase-

Wow. You're insane.

(A/N: At this point, they are passing the notebook to each other. Just warning you, so it doesn't get confusing.)

Haha I know.

Do you think the teacher cares that we're passing this around?

If she does, it doens't really matter. Am elephant, seven monkeys, and a kangaroo could come into this room and I don't think she'd wake up.

Ok this nonsense talk is starting to freak me out.

Sorry, I'm feeling particularly phychotic today.

It's ok. It's a part of you that I'll have to learn to accept. Do you mind me asking WHY you're feeling all hyper and phychotic today?

I had a good weekend.

Oh that's right, Hannah told me that you guys had a good time the whole weekend. What did you guys do?

Practiced for the play, hung out, general stuff like that.

You like her alot huh?

Yeah, she's great. How's Todd doing?

Todd? How did you know I was seeing Todd again?

Hannah told me.

Oh, well, he's alright. He apologized about a million times to me about him reading the notebook.

And you've accepted his apologies?

Yeah. I guess.

Well, I don't think I have. I get really mad at the thought of someone going through things that I've written. Like my space has been invaded or something.

Me too. It's like if someone read my diary. I'd be so mad.

So are you guys, like, together or something?

I don't really know.

Just as Zoey was passing it back to Chase, the bell rang.

"You keep it," he said," I'm gonna be too busy today to write in it."

"Sure," Zoey walked out feeling strange. She liked passing notes to him. She liked the comfort that she felt with him. But wasn't it just a day earlier that she was all upset about the situation with him? Her emotions were scattered everyone and as confusing and awful it all was, at the same time, Zoey loved it. Kinda.

"Hey Chase," Michael, Logan, Nicole, Quinn, Dana, and Lola chorused almost in perfect unison as he sat down at the lunch table with Hannah at his side.

"Hi, everyone. This is Hannah. Hannah this is everyone," Chase said.

Everyone smiled and greeted her, making her feel instantly welcome and a part of the group,

"Hello, I've heard so much about all of you," Hannah smiled and a pulled a long string of hair out of her face.

"Like what?" Michael asked, slightly scared as to what his roomate would have said about him.

"Well, I heard the story about how you guys got stranded at the beach a few years ago," Hannah said.

"That would be Logan's fault," Dana said.

Logan rolled his eyes,"I thought we were over this!"

"I don't remember that," Lola said.

"That was before you were here," Nicole exsplained.

"Ah."

The conversation continued with more conversations about the past and other things. To Chase's surprise they didn't freak out over Hannah being there. Maybe it was because he left out the small detail that they were going out now. If they knew that they wouldn't be so civilized toward her.

A/N: I'm gonna try to update more often on these stories. Like maybe every five days or so. That's not a promise...just an idea.
