Chapter 3

"Whipped"

"*sighhhhhhhhhhhhh*" Both Zoey and Rosie sighed simultaneously as a guy past by them in the hallway.

"Gosh Rosie! Get your own man!" Zoey teased Rosie.

"What? I saw him first!" Rosie teased back.

Another guy walked by them again.

*sigh* Rosie kept sighing.

"He's so dreamy." Zoey confessed

"Dreamier than Takuya?" Rosie asked teasing her.

"Pleeease. Me and Takuya are over it already!"

"Really. Then why you look red?"

"I do?" she quickly clasped her hands on her face to hide her nonexistent blush marks.

"Gotcha!" Rosie said as she winked her eye and pointed at her.

"Whateva!" Zoey pushed her in a teasing way.

"Anyways back to this guy were looking at right now..." Rosie resumed mesmerized looking at the stranger.

"Yeah... he's sooo hot."

"Actually, scratch that. Here comes Clyde, the football captain."

They both stared in unison with sparkling eyes as they leaped for joy.

" Heeey Clyde! " They both said in a cute way to get his attention.

"Hey!" he said really quickly as he walked by.

He went to his locker to get his books for his next class.

"OMG he said hey." Zoey mentioned.

"Forget that. O-M-G Zoey! Look at his butt!" Rosie pointed out.(sound familiar?)

"Oh c'mon, Rosie. It's not that big... of... a...deal..." she too was entranced by the boys charming aurora.

"Zoey! Get on your post!" Zoey's volleyball coach interrupted their "guy-staring-contests".

"Oops, sorry Rosie. Can't stare at boys with you forever."

She quickly ran off in her white athletics shirt along with black volleyball shorts. Her coach watched her head back to her spot on the court, as Rosie watched and cheered during practice.

It was too early in the morning to be this "boy crazy".

Zoey, I love you

You know it's true...

That was what Takuya wrote on his card as he waited for the bus to come.

"What do you have here?" Kouji scared Takuya as he snatched the note out of his hand.

"Give it back Kouji!" Takuya ordered.

"Hold on... it says, Zoey... I wuuuuuuuuuuv you" he mocked Takuya's voice.

"Give it..." he struggled with Kouji.

"Here! Catch Kouichi!" Kouji threw the card to Kouichi who came from behind as he caught it.

"Here you go Takuya!" he handed the card back to him.

"Thanks." he quickly grabbed hoping Kouji would not snatch it again.

"Gosh Kouichi! Your such a party pooper! Haven't you ever heard of 'keep away' ?" Kouji said frustrated.

"Uhm, actually... no."

"Wow! Now there's a shocker." Takuya mentioned

"Your such a weirdo." Kouji said to Kouichi.

"Well then... maybe I am weird! So what?"

"Don't worry about Kouji, Kouichi. He's just jealous that your being a fair play."

"Heeey, you heeeere that Kouichi? He said 'fair play not 'foreplay'!" Kouji was talking to his twin brother as if he was stupid.

"I know that... idiot!" Kouichi retorted.

Minutes later the bus came by and picked up the three kids.

"It's tooooo bad Zoey is not on this bus. Other wise, y'all would have witnessed how she would have sat next to me." Takuya bragged arrogantly.

"And?" Kouji said as he rolled his eyes.

There wasn't that much space on the bus, therefore it was going to end up being with two of them to a seat.

"NO! I got dibs on that seat" they both yelled as they ran toward a vacant seat.

Kouichi already found a seat, all to himself next to a hotty.

"Lets be friends" he said jokingly.

"Lets" said the other girl.

In the back, Kouji and Takuya were still fighting to sit in the same seat.

"Thats no fair. You got more space." Takuya complained.

"Yeah, so I need it more than you do." Kouji tried to reason with him.

"Rrrrrrrrrr" Takuya growled, trying to push him off.

"SIT DOWN BACK THERE!" yelled the bus driver.

They both sat down quickly in unison, yet still fidgeting throughout the ride to school.

JP was on his way to high school, for he was in the ninth grade.

Darn it how am I going to tell Zoey how much I love her when we go to different schools. Man I wish I had flunked back then. He thought. Guess I'll have to wait after school.

His dad dropped him off at school as he walked towards the entrance. As soon as he opened the door, it was nothing but PDA-mania (Personal Display of Affection). Couple were either connected together, hand-in-hand or mouth-to-mouth.

"Ew, get a room." he rudely suggested to one couple.

Not only that but a whole bunch of posters were everywhere. A lot of them saying stuff like "Will you be mine!" and "V for Valentines". This had to be the corniest posters ever created in high school history he thought (if they had any).As for JP, it seemed this week of valentines wasn't looking to good for the "big teddy bear" .

Tommy was in his classroom doing work in class.(The End)

***

During English class, Takuya, Kouji, and Kouji were in the same class, doing their assignment on the board. It was a journal asking about "What Valentines Day Meant to them". Kouji kept shooting mean looks towards Takuya who was across the rows of desks. He then looked over at Kouichi and mouthed the words "loser" towards him. Kouichi just watched them in disappointment, due to their childish behavior.

Soooo, what does valentines mean to me. Kouji thought...

Valentines means a lot to me this year, considering that I am fighting for someone's love... literally.Although, I have nothing to worry, because I'm going to win.

That was what he wrote down on the paper with pride. He had a wide smirk on his face as he smiled in the air to no one...

"Kouji! Would you like to share you journal with the class?" Mrs. Krick asked her student. When she asked him "if he would like to read", she really means "just read". No questions.

"Do I have to?" he asked hoping she would say no.

"Kouji, you know that everything we do in this class is usually shared. Now get up and deliver whatever it is thats on your mind." she ordered.

"In that case, there's nothing on his mind" Takuya muttered as he cracked a joke, while people around him began to snicker.

"Takuya, your next after Kouji." Mrs. Krick alerted. Everyone began to chuckle louder.

Kouji walked up to the class room ever so slowly. His heart began to pound, and his forehead began to sweat. He was not use to giving speeches, especially when there emotional.

"Ahem... Valentines." people began to crack up, " is a time where..." The intercom interrupted him.

The intercom blared so loudly the kids and the teacher began to cover their ears.

"Excuse me! Is this thing on?" the assistant principal asked, "Sorry 'bout that. Teachers... students. This is the morning announcements! Students....blah blah blah" the assistant went on.

Everyone wasn't paying attention that much.

"Yada yada yada."

Kids were going to sleep all of a sudden.

"ula ula ula."

Kids were slapping each other for no reason.

"Naunie naunie naunie!" the assistant was practically yelling in the intercom while kids were throwing spitballs at each other until...

"This Saturday we're having a first, and ever, Valentines Day dance." the whole class became quiet. You could even hear a pen drop.

*Pen drop* someone's pen fell on the floor.

"Sssssssssssssh!" the whole class shushed whoever dropped the pen.

"Did she say... dance?" one kid whispered.

"You heard me!" the assistant repeated on the intercom.

"This Saturday is the valentines day dance. Not only that, but you can bring a friend, just as long as he or she goes to school, if you know what I mean." She started to laugh at her own dumb joke. "In other words, no strange adults unless they fill out a form from the front desk. Any other guest to this school will need a form as well. So good job everybody and lets make it a good day and rock 'n' roll!" she ended the announcements, finally!

***

After that announcements, the whole school was in a dancing craze. No one could wait until Saturday, therefore people started to show there lame moves out on the hall way with there partners.

"Look what I can do" one kid said as he did the robot.

Meanwhile Kouji, Takuya, and Kouichi were walking down the hallway.

"Sooooo... only one of us can take Zoey to the dance" Takuya mentioned casually.

"And that someone's gonna be me!" Kouji threatened.

"Not if you ask her first!" mentioned Kouichi as he pointed at... Zoey.

She was stunning as she was still in her volleyball shorts and shirt, because she of the fact she didn't have time to change. Although, she still looked good... along with Rosie by her side.

"Can you believe it. A dance this Saturday." Rosie mentioned.

"Yeah. I wonder what I will wear?" Zoey asked herself, as three raging teens ran towards her direction.

"Hey Zoey!" Takuya managed to say first.

"Yeah. Hey Zoey" Kouji followed.

"Uhm... hey!" Kouichi said timidly.

"High guys! Gee, I haven't seen y'all in like, forever. What's up?" Zoey asked.

"Oh well....you seee, Hey I don't... shut up I'm talkin... Umkay!" they all were talking at once, faster than she could follow.

"Whoa, slow down guys. One at a time."

"Oh well Zoey... I...." Takuya couldn't help but stare at her for while, as she carried her heavy books.

"Oh... let me help you with your books." he quickly grabbed the books off her hand.

"Oh? Thanks Takuya." Zoey thanked him.

"Ahem... so...Zoey you look...um... tense... let me help you with your backpack." Kouji quickly grabbed her backpack off her back.

"Gee, thanks... Kouji? You know its not like you to be helping people at random for no reason." she said with suspicion.

"Oh well you know me... always willing to do something different. Heh heh..."

"Actually... no you don't." she corrected.

"Oh!" Kouji said with no emotion.

"Well don't mind him. In fact I'm willing to pay for your lunch today, if you don't mind." Kouichi offered.

"Oh? Well thanks Kouichi. That's very generous of you."

"Nothing to worry madam. Kouichi at your service." he bowed in a greeting fashion as he held Zoey's hand and kissed the ring finger.

Suck up! Kouji and Takuya thought loudly in their heads.

Zoey couldn't help but feel flattered, yet, suspicious, as if something was going on.

"Ok guys, whats going on? Are you softening me up or something?"

"Oh no.... of course not... how could we... umkay!" they all muttered on top of each other's words.

Yet, she was too smart to be fooled. She knew something was up, but wasn't quite sure. So, to take advantage of the situation, she pretended to feel tired.

"Oh guys... you know... I'm not feeling well..."

"Oh seriously... what is it...umkay" they continued to talk over each other.

"Yeeeeah... I was feeling tired. In fact, my feet hurt. So I was wondering, would any of y'all like to carry me?"

All three of the boys hands went straight up as soon as she finished.

They all wound up carrying not only her stuff, but her as well on their shoulders, as they walked through the halls.

"Don't mind ME guys! Yeah, just leave ME hear! Zoey! You know where to find me!" Rosie yelled, feeling left out.

(Meanwhile...)

Robby and Jack were preparing Bobby for his upcoming challenge as they massaged his shoulders roughly.

"Now c'mon Bobby. You know what to do. Just go there and show her what your made off. Capiche?" Jack said as he nudged him forward.

"Capiche!" Bobby answered.

He walked over to the "girl" in slow motion as he sprayed his mouth with a mint freshener. He then adjusted his collar and clothes until he was right next to... Rosie.

"Soooo... Rosie...maybe you and me should go out some time." he attempted to say in a deep charming voice. So he thought.

"Buzz off, lover boy!" she said as she banged the locker on his forehead and dissed him later by closing it again. She then walked off in a sassy way.

"Dude! Bobby! Are you ok? You didn't do to well." Robby tried to make sure he was ok.

"Ah it's nuthin. She's just trying to play hard to get." he managed to say through a sore forehead.

"And why she gotta hit so hard?"

A/N: Wheeew! Finally! Gosh it feels good to be on well known territory. It felt like no mans land in the beginning there for a minute. I thought I wouldn't live through all that girlie talk lol. Anyways, I hope this chapter was very interesting and funny. I also hope it wasn't too hard to understand either.

In fact I felt like I was going through some golden memories throughout this story...if you know what I mean.

As for the guys... they really going to have to find a way to ask her out to the dance. The next couple of chapters are going to be about how they will manage to ask her out. Be warned, there WILL be fighting, killing, kissing, hair flying, and eating... ok just the fighting and kissing part for sure. Oh and for those of you that wonder about Tommy's story being so short... I did that on purpose just because he's short lol.

Ok 'nough of me talking and more of you reading...
