This one is the same as in the last story because it sticks to the storyline there are a few minor differences. The differences are mostly in Chase's letter to Zoey. Sorry I would've changed more but I felt lazy and I could update faster this way.

Chapter 2: New Student

Z-POV

Zoey said in the nicest voice she could muster: I'm sorry I don't know who you are. What's your name?

Dean Rivers suddenly appeared from around the corner: Adam, thank goodness I found you, your parents would not have been happy if I had lost you on the first day.

For some strange reason Dean Rivers was acting overly nice. There was definitely a sound of relief and sympathy in his voice when he was talking. It took the dean another thirty seconds to even notice the other teenagers besides Adam. When the others were noticed, the dean just smiled at them and then turned his attention back to Adam

Adam looked from Zoey to the dean: I'm sorry Dean Rivers, I just thought I saw an old friend and wanted to say 'Hi'. But I guess I was wrong, I'll just have to get to know the people around here a little more.

What is he talking about? Clearly he knows me if he knows who my name is. And Dean Rivers being really nice to him what's up with that? Sure the dean is nice but he's never this nice. I got to figure out what is up with Adam. He looks like an Adam. Zoey just stood there politely not wanting to interrupt the dean or Adam.

Suddenly there was a buzz. Everyone check their phones, except for Dean Rivers who checked his pager. It turned out it was the dean who had gotten buzzed, there must have been some issue he had to deal with.

The dean turned to Adam and Zoey: I'm sorry that was the main office, they need me back right away. Sorry I couldn't finish your tour. But hey I got an idea, Zoey could you take Adam and show him around and introduce him to some people for me? Here's a list of classes. Thank you so much.

Dean Rivers handed Zoey a list of his classes and ran off before she could say anything. Lola and Quinn now were also standing to introduce themselves to Adam. Lola held out her hand and was about to speak, but Adam spoke first: You must be Lola, and that would make you Quinn, and he would be Logan.

They all gave him a questioning look as to how the heck did he know all their names. Even Logan started to get interested in Adam realizing his name was just mentioned. Lola was the first one to speak: So Adam is it? You never answered Zoey's question, how do you know who we are?

Adam said smiling: Lets just say I'm a friend of a friend. I promise I'll explain everything soon. Can one of you help me find my dorm? I think it is 148 Maxwell Hall.

Quinn: Oh, hey that's Logan's room. Maybe he can show you where it is so can move in.

Logan: I'd love to but I told Michael we were going to meet at the basketball court. However though I can't believe they assigned us a new roommate and didn't tell us. …. Not that I'm not totally thrilled to have you as a roomy. So umm see ya.

Quinn started putting together her stuff: Oh that reminds me, I have to go meet Mark for a science experiment. It was nice meeting you Adam, I'll see you around.

Now it was just, Adam, Zoey, and Lola, just standing there, waving to Quinn as she walked off. They turned their attention back to Adam.

Adam: So… can you two show me to my dorm room? They already gave me a key and said my stuff was at the building and that I just had to bring it up to the room.

Lola: Ya of course we can right Zoey? It's actually not to far from here, just a few buildings down.

Zoey started talking not sounding really confident in the words she was saying: Ya, sure.

The three teenagers started to walk towards Maxwell Hall. As they walked by people stopped for a moment and normally whispered something to one of their friends. I wonder what they're saying about him? I mean he seems pretty nice. Lola and Quinn definitely like him. Ugh I hope they don't make me go up to Chases old room. I don't think I've been there since I found out that he had moved to England for me. Oh Chase please come back soon.

By the time Zoey finished her thought about Chase, they had arrived at Maxwell Hall. Adam went up and held open the door for Lola and Zoey. When Zoey walked through she nodded at Adam as a way of saying 'Thank you'. Lola smiled at Adam and he smiled back.

Lola: Chances are that the Dorm Advisor or D.A. as we usually call them has your stuff. I think that's his office over there. Lola pointed and the three of them walked over to the office. When they got to the office they knocked on the doorframe and the D.A. turned around.

Adam: Hi, I'm Adam Richards. I'm a new student here my room is 148. Dean Rivers said that my stuff would be here for me to take up to my room.

D.A. Anderson: Hello Adam, nice to meet you. I'm Andrew Anderson, but everyone just calls me Andy. This is Maxwell Hall and I'm going to be your Dorm Advisor but you probably already knew that didn't you? Umm… Stuff let me see, oh here it is. Did you already get a key? Adam nodded his head 'yes'. Ok good well your room is up that flight of stairs over there and is the last room on the right.

Zoey: Hey guys do you mind if I just stay down here? I had to make up laps for P.E. yesterday and I'm really sore.

Adam: Oh that's fine, don't worry about it. Hey Lola could you grab that blue suitcase over there and bring it up to the room? I think I can handle the rest in one trip.

The instant Lola turned around. Adam pulled out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zoey. Silently Adam mouthed 'open it'. Zoey opened the letter and started reading it as Lola and Adam took his stuff up to room 148.

The Letter read:

Dear Zoe,

Hey it's Chase. Sorry we haven't talked for a while, I got a job here in England. On top of the job my classes having been giving out insane amounts of work. Not to mention I lost my phone a couple weeks ago.

Adam is a friend I met when I first got here; he actually helped me get a job. I told him all about PCA and you guys, it sounded amazing to him so he decided he would see if he could go there. Naturally Adam got in, mostly because he's incredibly smart and out going but also his parents are ridiculously rich. Don't tell Logan that or he'll just find some way to make it a competition. Adam is a really great guy and I'm sure everyone will like him. You two will probably end up being pretty good friends by the next time I see you.

You'll never believe what happened. My parents won the lottery and 31.5 million dollars. Dad says that I still have to stay here for a semester though. I guess a promise, is a promise but its still not fair. Instead they told me they're spending money on some other girl that's not even related to us. By that I mean, they're adopting a child, some person I don't even know is going to be living in my house with my parents. I'm trying to keep an open mind but its easier said then done. Oh well, I'll just decide when I meet her, her name is Kristen. (She's not important to this story but I wanted to set up her character.)

Adam told me that I was probably just being spiteful against my parents for not letting me go back to PCA. He's a smart guy He's probably right about this. But Zoe there's something else you need to know about him….. (No way am I telling you what it is at least not yet ;) )

I could go on for days writing about my feelings for you and not even scratch the surface. The only word that seems to fit is Love. I love you Zoe, I decided telling you through a letter doesn't count as breaking our deal. I ran into that flagpole because my brain couldn't understand what I was feeling when I saw you. But by the time I hit the ground and heard your beautiful voice, my heart had belonged to you. That's my only regret, that I didn't tell you the moment I saw you. It hurts being this far away from you but if I close my eyes and listen to my heart it's like you're right next to me. I'll come back as soon as I can. I love you Zoey Brooks, I always have.

Love,

Your bushy head friend

Chase Mathews

P.S. I love you.

Lola-POV

When Adam and I got up to his room, he just tossed his stuff on the empty bed, which would end up being his. I took a moment and looked around this room has been seeming really incomplete without all of Chase's stuff here. Maybe Adam will help everyone out and make things a little easier. Not that he could replace Chase, no one can. But Adam is really, really cute? No, I guess hot would be a better word but that doesn't quiet fit either. Hmmm …. Gorgeous, yes that's it. Lola's train of thought was interrupted when Adam started talking.

Adam: Hey Lola, do you mind if I change my shirt right now? I wore this one on the plane and I feel like I should change it.

Lola: No, not at all. I'll just leav-. Lola stopped halfway through a word because she realized Adam had already taken off his shirt and was searching through his suitcase looking for a clean shirt to put on. Oh my, look at that chest! And that six-pack. Ugh now I sound like Nicole but at least this is the first time I've had those thoughts.

When Adam looked up Lola was still staring at him. Adam noticed and smiled at Lola. As Adam smiled Lola realized she was staring and started blushing. Lucky for her Adam had finally found a shirt and was putting it on when Lola's cheeks turned red.

Adam: Ready to go show me the rest of the school?

Lola: Ya, of course, let's go find Zoey. WOW. That was the only thought Lola could have right now and even that made her blush a little bit.

When Adam and Lola got downstairs they found Zoey putting a folded up letter into an envelope. Zoey was smiling, the biggest smile she has ever had. Right before Lola was going to call out her friend's name to get her attention, Zoey looked up still smiling. The blond girl ran over to Adam and gave him a huge hug and a quick kiss on the cheek.

Zoey whispered to Adam but loud enough that Lola could hear: Thank you so much Adam.

Adam just started blushing and hugged Zoey back for a moment and then let her go. Lola didn't understand or like what had just happened. Why did Zoey just kiss Adam on the cheek? I thought she didn't know him. Wait why do I even care? Zoey has been in love with Chase for years right? She couldn't have just suddenly liked a guy she met not even an hour ago. Right? Lola had not noticed the letter Zoey had stick out of her jeans pocket and didn't realize that the letter was the real source of her happiness not the guy standing next to her…

This one was slightly longer chapter. I have events figured out in my head I' just not sure how I want them to play out. Please review and tell me what you think.
