"Cody, will you just stop? Roma is about to leave for Rome…today."
Cody looked up at Zack sadly.
"I'm sorry I didn't say anything…"
Cody got up and grabbed Zack's shoulders. "When?"
"Huh?" Zack asked and thought, "why did he grab my shoulders?"
"When is she leaving?" Cody asked angrily.
"In ten minutes?" Zack said afraid of what Cody would do next.
Cody let go of Zack, ran out of the room, took the elevator down to the lobby, and sure enough, Roma was leaving with her suitcases and chauffeur. London and Mr. Moseby were there to say goodbye.
"Roma!" Cody yelled out before she left.
Roma, London, and Mr.Moseby all turned around.
"Cody?" Roma called out sort of happy.
"Cody?" Moseby and London said surprised.
Cody walked up to Roma. "I'm really sorry, Roma, for everything. Please forgive me."
"Cody, of course I forgive you. I was just mad because here was a boy I actually liked, but then he turned out to be like a boy, I didn't like," Roma said.
"I know. I just thought of it as me, being the loser, and Zack was winning," Cody explained.
Roma nodded in agreement.
They were silent for a few seconds.
"Well, Miss Tipton does have a plane to catch," Mr. Moseby said.
Roma and Cody both looked at Moseby, then at each other. "Right," they both said sadly.
Cody's head was down.
"Cody?" Roma said.
Cody looked up at her. "Huh?"
"I will be coming back soon," she said happily, "so, until then," she gave him a kiss on the cheek, "goodbye," was her last word and Roma left the hotel.
Cody was kind of happy. He felt for the cheek Roma had kissed and with that memory he felt better.
