Zoey POV

Here we all were. Dana and Chloe was were walking ahead of Nicole and me. I was thinking about Chase. I can't wait for our date. I wonder what I am going to wear. By this time we were getting close to the baseball practice. I looked over to Nicole. She seemed fine. We were getting closer. I could hear the cheering of the other girls.

"So we are here," Dana said while turning around.

We sat on the benches. By now Nicole looked pale.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Sure I am fine," Nicole said through a fake smile. I smiled back trying to give her courage.

Glen looked up to the benches. A kid threw a ball to him. It hit him on his head. We all started to laugh. He look embarrassed.

"Coach I am taking a five minute break," I heard Glen yell.

"Okay," the guy said.

He walked over to us. Nicole eyes seemed to jumped out of her head.

"Hey ya," Glen said.

"Hey," we all responded expect Nicole.

"Hey, Nicole," he said while looking at her with a caring face.

"Hey," she said softly.

"Are you okay Nicole? You look sick," Glen asked her.

"I am fine," Nicole said while bits of reds stated to appear in her skin.

"That is good. I wouldn't want you to be sick," Glen said with a smirk.

Nicole smiled. I heard a familiar voice. It was Chase. I turned and saw Logan with a boy that looked like Chase but he didn't have his cute bushy hair. I turned my head back. Then back again. It was Chase!

"Guys, is that Chase?" I asked to make sure.

"Yea. Logan gave him a haircut," Glen told us.

"He looks nothing like the pictures," Chloe said.

"I think Logan did a good job," Nicole said.

"Well that jerk sure is helping him to learn to play with girls hearts just as well. Just look at them," Dana said. "I hate Logan," she said under her breath.

Glen looked a her. He was confused. This wasn't what he heard yesterday from Dana.

I looked at my boyfriend. He was with Sam and Erica. Sam couldn't have been more over him. Logan wasn't even looking at Erica. Something is really wrong with Logan.

I got up and walked over to him. Dana chased after me.

"Don't do nothing stupid Zoe," Dana told me.

"Don't worry I am not you," I whispered.

Dana didn't have time to respond to my remark.

Chloe stood with Nicole on the benches.

"Hey Chase," I said.

He jumped.

"Hey guys," he said.

Dana nodded her head at them. She didn't look at Logan but he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Chase can. . . ," I started.

"Zoey we need to talk," Chase said.

I felt something was wrong. Something bad was going to be said. I felt to tears coming out. I felt my throat closing in. I just nodded my head. My mouth didn't seemed to work. We walked in silence. We got behind the benches. By now all my friends where looking at us worried faces. Logan was still looking at Dana. Sam and Erica had gotten up and left to go talk to some other guys.

"Chase, what was that about?" I asked him.

"I don't know. Look Logan give me a haircut and I feel new. Like I should start fresh," Chase said.

"Okay," I said with a smile. "I like you bushy hair better," I told him.

"I am trying to talk to you about something important. Don't change the subject. You know what this means Zoey, right?" Chase asked.

"You know I like it better when you call me Zoe not Zoey," I whined cutely. I knew where this was going. I wasn't going to let it.

"Zoey. I can't go out. . .," I stopped him.

"No. No. No," I said in whisper as the tears started to come out. My head was moving. I turned around to see Dana slapping Logan in the face.

"Zoey. Stop it. It is for the better," Chase said.

"You told me you loved me," I said.

"I do. I am going to hurt you so I can't be with you," he told me.

"Don't use Logan's dumb lines," I yelled at him.

"How do you know it was his line?" he asked me.

"You're spending enough time with him," I told.

"Whatever. Bye," Chase said and started to walk away.

I grabbed his arm.

"Chase," I said softly. I felt my friends beside me.

"Zoe let go," Nicole said.

"He is not worth it," Dana said.

"Don't make it into a big thing," Chloe said.

I let go of him. I ran all the way home without looking back once.

Chase just loss me for good. He is going to see it I thought. Then we could go back out. No! He hurt me. He is not your boy friend he dumped you! I know! I don't like this new Chase. I love the old brushy hair kid. Next time I see Logan I am going to kill him. What about Chase? Ask him out? No!

I got to my room. I sat down. I cleared my head. I hate fighting with myself.

Don't worry Zoey and Chase fans. I am a fan too. This isn't the end for them. Chase soon will realized how dumb he was.
