Okay its been a VERY long time since I last updated and this chapter is reallyyyy short which is a major fail, BUT my excuse isss that one bad review can really get a person down... expecially when they go all out an swear... a lot... xD anyways its okay now, because that review kinda makes me laugh, having the fact that this person has some spelling issues... so i am back... still nervous about writing skills so please be patient with me?

Disclaimer: I don't own. Jeez. Leave me alone. Like I could ever own a series that amazing. Oh and I also don't own Zoey 101 which is indeed where I got one of my ideas.

Nate stopped his car in front of the restaurant, but he didn't get out. He sat there, looking down and fidgeting. I looked over at him, and I noticed his expression. He looked...nervous. I wondered why. Nate didn't usually get nervous, he was so easy going all the time. "What's wrong Nate? You look nervous."

"Umm, Chloe, I want to tell you something." My eyes grew wider at his statement. Was he going to break up with me? I knew I should have felt disappointed, but all I felt a sense of relief.

"What is it Nate", I asked softly. He didn't say anything, but pulled out a small box from his pocket and handed it to me. I looked at it, then back at him. His eyes urged me to open it. I swallowed, and took out a silver necklace, with a heart pendant. My jaw dropped slightly. It had my name engraved on it. I glanced up at Nate again, but this time, he said, "Turn it over." I flipped over the pendant, and it said, I love you. -Nate.

My eyes grew even wider at this, and if Nate hadn't been there, waiting for my reaction, I probably wouldn't have been able to look up. I should have been happy, but instead I got a guilty feeling at the pit of my stomach. "Thank you Nate. It's amazing. I love y-y- it. I love it." I repeated, unable to say, I love you.

He seemed satisfied with my reaction though, and I let out the breath I didn't know I'd been holding. He came out of the car to the passenger side to open the door for me. He pulled me into his arms, stroking my hair, and whispered, "Glad you like it." I felt awkward in his arms, and I pulled away quickly. He seemed confused and hurt, so I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the restaurant.

"We can't be late," I said with an uneasy smile. His expression changed to one of understanding, and he followed me. We stepped through the door, and I fumbled with the box in my hand. Nate looked down at me, and asked, "Are you going to put it on?" in a soft voice. I knew he wasn't forcing me, but I also knew he would be hurt if I didn't. I nodded, and took the necklace out. I was already nervous about seeing Derek again, but having Nate and Derek meeting each other had me even more anxious. I fumbled with the clasp until I felt two hands take it from me and put the chain on. I looked at Nate, and he smiled down at me. I smiled back, still uneasy. I wasn't sure why, but it felt wierd, like someone was watching us.

Then I heard a familiar voice call out, "Chloe!" I turned and saw Simon waving at us. I swallowed and I saw Derek, with his signature scowl, and Tori, who looked-happy?- to see me. I stiffened. They hadn't seen Nate put the necklace on me, had they? I didn't have time to dwell on it, because Nate had taken my hand and was leading me towards their table.

Yeah I'm STILL putting off the whole dinner thing :D Soon enough the time shall come. Bwahahaha...okay I sound gay. Reviewwwwww pleaseeeee. Its that button...down there... just WAITING for a friend...

It feels lonely...
