The Heart Before the Party

Disclaimer: I don't own the people.

I am getting bored with the story so I am skipping a lot of stuff I plan. Hopefully this is the third to last chapter.

---------Zoey 101--------

Chase's POV

It is the day of those girls stupid party. God. I would rather die than go. I hate girls! I hate Zoey! I can't even flirt because of her. Everywhere I go I think of her. She is always there or being mention. I bet this is one of her plans. She always has plans and they are always good. So this has to be one.

Logan just walked in. He look at me with disgust. I know why. Ever since I threaten Dana he been mad at me. God he so hook on her. Yesterday they were on the phone till 1 o'clock. It was so mushy. I would think that is something me and Zoe would do. We have broke night once. That is when we were just friends. Our relationship turned out so different then I would have expected and wanted. It was friends to bestfriends to girlfriend and boyfriend to worst of enemies something I wouldn't have never wanted. I still don't want . I wish go back in time and start over. I know that is not possible. Maybe if I ask Quinn. No I have to live with my mistakes.

"So you going to the party," Logan asked with no emotion.

"No," I said.

I remained on my bed. I laid just looking above me.

"You ain't gonna watch your chick?" Michael asked coming form the bathroom.

"I don't have a 'chick'" I said.

"Yea you do. You know she rooms in 101. Nickname is Miss Perfect," Logan said.

"That is not her nickname," I said mad.

I hate when he calls her that. I don't mind it because she is perfect to me. I know Zoey minds it and that is why I don't let him call her that.

"Testy," Logan said.

He said it to Michael with an raised eyebrows. Michael nodded smiling.

"Well I saw her and she looks hot. If I was you I would go to make sure no guys try to get your women," Logan said.

"How did you see her?" I asked.

I don't believe him. I think the guys are part of the girls plan because they been having those walkie talkies and used them a whole lot. Whenever I hear it is about Glen and some other girl.

"Where you think that I was at?" Logan asked me.

"I don't know," I answered with an attitude that I have been answering with.

"I went to go see Dana. Duh. I saw the rest of the girls, too" Logan said.

"Okay," I said.

There was silence.

"How hot was she?" I asked Logan.

"Hottt. Not as hot as Dana because. . ." Logan started.

"Okay man," Michael she with a slap on Logan's back.

Logan feel forward because of the slap. He regain his balance and acted as if it never happen.

Hot? Logan says she looks hot. To Logan everything is hot. Like that girl is hot or that is 'totally hot' and his favorite line while looking in the mirror 'Wow I am hot'. He is like the picture perfect surfer dude you see in the movie. It is sick because you can't really compare to that. I have to room with him too. The rich 'hottie' the girls call him. I really don't get notice. Now with my new image I do. I thought all those years being in the background of his shadow I can be in the front. Now that I got the spot it isn't what I wanted. It isn't the same feeling I had when kissing Zoey or holding her. It isn't even close to a feeling of standing next to her.

I threw a tennis ball in the air. It is 6 o'clock and I been here since scholl let out. I just don't feel like walking around because everywhere I go I see those flyers. I came to my room to get rid of the Zoey image in my head. It stays because my stupid roommates don't stop talking about her. If they both didn't have girlfriends then I would think that they both liked her.

I want to say sorry. I really do. What is the point she isn't going to forgive me. I wouldn't forgive me.

Logan POV

I looked in the mirror.

"Wow I am hot!" I said fixing my hair a little.

Through the mirror I saw Chase roll his eyes. He is acting better than yesterday. Yesterday he threaten my girlfriend which is a big no no. I looked at him again. He looks sad. Who cares? Who am I kidding I want to get back to being a jerk. It was fun. Now with Chase acting like a jerk it would be stupid to have two jerks in the group. So I have to take Chase's nice role. God is it hard. I am still flirty and me just nicer.

I can't flirt with girls as much. Sorry ladies. If I did Dana would kill me. I really mean it. We all know she is capable of anything. I wouldn't do that because it would hurt her. I promised her I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't even if I didn't promise because I love her. I really didn't get to se eher. She wouldn't let me. She was in the bathroom. She told me she wasn't done with her hair so I couldn't see her. I got her to poke her head out of the bathroom so I could kiss her. I tried to pulled her out but Chloe wouldn't let me. God those girls are strong. Then she came out in a long white cotton robe. Underneath was her outfit. I tried to see it but she sent me out. I did see Zoey she look hot. She was wearing a robe too. They all were.

Room 101 wasn't big enough to have a party. So the girl got all the room on the 1st floor to open there rooms for a party expect for Quinn's room. It is like a college party. Were people are just walking dorm to dorm. Each room is for something different.

I looked at Michael. He was pacing back and forth. He was talking to himself about what or how he was going to ask out Chloe. Everyone knows they like each other. They go on dates and stuff. I am sure that they kissed already.

"Mike! You are getting me dizzy!" Chase yelled from his bed.

Chase just lays there. He scares me when he doesn't move. He gets to much in thought to even breath it seems. God I should have never gave him that haircut.

I was wearing a white beater. I put my green button up long sleeve shirt on. It was striped green. It had dark and light greens stripes. It was my favorite shirt because green looks so good on me. Well anything looks good on me. I left the shirt a bit open. I had long dark jeans on. I wore white and green air forces. Michael was wearing a red and yellow striped shirt. He had on light baggy jeans. He wore the yellow and red air forces. I remember when he bought those. I made fun of him and told him go back to McDonald's. I put sunglasses on to finish my outfit. I had a beaded necklace on. I really looked like a hot surfer guy. Like from Summer Land.

"Chase so you are really not going?" Michael asked as he finished the last button on his shirt.

"Nope. Staying here," he said.

"Okay. Lets go," I said to Michael.

Michael's POV

I left behind Logan. I gave Chase a last look. A hopeful look at my bestfriend. He was washout, tried. I don't know what from. I guess it is from hearing his ex-girlfriend's name everywhere he goes. I will would be mad at that to. A part of me feels like he is over her. That is the part that hears him coming out rude to her like at lunch today. It was horrible. I could tell Dana and Chloe wanted to hurt him. Then another part of me knows better. Knows that the real Chase, my bestfriend will soon emerge from within him. That is the part of me that sees him laying there almost lifeless or heartless.

"Dude," Logan said.

I knew he was telling me to get going. I closed the door. Chase must have heard Logan and looked to the door before I closed it. I looked him and her looked at me. It was weird. Logan and I began walking down the hallway.

Logan got out his walkie takie. He really likes using it.

"Chase is not coming. I repeat Chase is not coming," he said.

"Okay. The plan is going good," Dana said.

"Yes!" Nicole came in.

"How did he look when he left?" Chloe asked.

"Sad," I said into mine.

I needed to speak to Chase. Logan looked at me.

"Logan. I forgot something," I said.

"Okay," he said. "What?" he asked.

"Mints. My mints. Go on without me. I catch up," I said.

"Okay. You are going to be needed those mints for when you kiss Chloe. Right?" he asked in his Logan manner.

"Sure, dude," I said.

I started my way back to Chase. I don't know what I wanted to say. I knew I needed to say something. He still is my friend. I open the door. He looked at me with a -what?- look.

"Forgot something," I said.

"Oh," he responded.

I headed for the door because I didn't know what to say. Yes I did. I just didn't know how to say it. I grabbed the door knob. I felt Chase's eyes on me. I turned around to speak.

"What is going on Chase?"

"I don't know man. I mess up," he said.

"I know," I told him.

"What do I do?" he asked.

"Come tonight. Make it up to her. Maybe she will take you back," I told him.

"I don't know. You go. Ask that girl out. Have a good time and don't worry about me. Watch out for Zoey for me," he said.

"I will call you if to many guys are over her," I said in a joking manner. I was serious and he knew it.

"Thanks," he said.

I left on that note. Logan was waiting.

"How was the talk?" he asked.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"I been rooming with you guys for years. I can tell these things," he said.
