MICHAEL'S POV
I spent algebra texting Lola about our plans. Chase and Sam met up last night, but he says they just watched movies. I can respect that, and he's my buddy. He wouldn't lie.
TO: Michael
FROM: Lola
They totally made out.
Whoa, hold up.
TO: Lola
FROM: Michael
No, they didn't .Chase wouldn't lie to me.
TO: Michael
FROM: Lola
Yeah, he would. Freddie told me they kissed.
TO: Lola
FROM: Michael
He's jealous. Believe me.
We spent the period arguing over whether or not the rumour was true, and somehow came to the conclusion to keep an eye on them and make sure they weren't actually up to anything. The actual plans we were making-the ones to reunite Quinn and Logan-were forgotten.
That afternoon, Logan and I were about to hit the gym and then maybe shoot some hoops. Chase said he wasn't coming with us because Sam was coming over.
"Well then, maybe we should stay!" I said.
"You don't have to, man."
"It's cool man, I'll stay." I said, getting comfortable on the couch. "Hey, maybe I'll ask-"
"Michael! We were going to the gym!" Logan said angrily.
"We can stay here, right buddy?"
"No, man. I want to go."
"Well, have fun!"
"Michael."
"Fine!" I got up and left with Logan. As we got further away, I asked him a question.
"Didn't they hang out last night?"
"Yeah," He replied.
"And now they're hanging out tonight too?"
"What part aren't you getting?" He said as we squeezed past Sam on the way out of the building.
"Hey, Sam!"
"Oh, hey Michael. Headed out?"
"Yeah, we're uh, we're going to the gym."
"Cool. Chase is back there?" She motioned down the hall.
"He's there, yeah."
"Thanks!" She smiled brightly and walked off. I studied her for a second as she left.
"Logan, come on!"
"We're not gonna spy on them! Dude, I want to lift weights!"
"Just until she gets in the room. Or, you know, the door closes."
"Why?!"
"Because I made a promise to Lola that I'd keep an eye on them."
"Why?"
"Because we need to know if Chase is over Zoey"
"Chase isn't over Zoey." He stated, folding his arms.
"Well, we're gonna make sure! Then we can go to the gym. It'll be quick" I promised as I took off in Sam's direction. I slowed down once I got to our hallway and looked around the corner. Sam was just arriving, and didn't knock or hesitate to just open the door.
"Chizz!" I said under my breath. Logan grabbed my wrist.
"We're going!"
"She just walked in!"
"Yeah, Zoey does that, who cares!"
"Chase likes Zoey!"
"I'm sure they're just friends."
Logan was having none of my nonsense and wouldn't let us check up on Chase and Sam anymore. I left my phone in the room too, but he wouldn't let me go back. So I couldn't text Lola.
We worked at the gym for about an hour, and then we decided to eat something before we played basketball. We went to In-N-Out and once we got back, we ran into Freddie.
"You wanna play some ball with us?"
"Uh, sure. I guess so."
He followed us to the court and we played a couple rounds. For the most art, we just talked about how he was liking it here, and then I realized how I could use him to my advantage.
"Freddie," I said while taking a shot, "Like, what is Sam to you?"
"We're just friends." He replied quickly.
"Yeah, that's cool. I guess it makes sense that she'd go after other guys."
"Other guys?"
"Like Chase."
Freddie looked weird for a second and then sort of shook it off. I knew my job was done.
"Hey, why don't we ask them to come out and play with us?" I said, and Freddie quickly volunteered to call. He pulled out his phone and dialed Sam's number.
"Oops, I hit speaker. Hold on, let me just…" Freddie tried to correct his phone, but right as he went to fix it, a voice came over.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Sam."
"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to know if you and Chase wanted to shoot hoops with Logan, Michael and I."
She sounded annoyed.
"I'll check."
"Okay…"
"Yeah, no we can't"
"Why?"
"We're busy?" She said it like it was obvious.
"Busy doing what?" He said, sounding worried and a little offended.
"God, Freddie! Why do you care?" She snapped.
"I care because-" He tried to say before she hung up on him. "Bad reception" He said softly.
"Well why don't we go talk to them personally?" I said, knowing full well that he'd accept. "Best reception is live reception!"
Freddie accepted and Logan reluctantly joined us.
TO: Lola
FROM: Michael
We're going to see what Sam and Chase are up to
TO: Michael
FROM: Lola
Can I come? :D
TO: Lola
FROM: Michael
Sorry, no can do. It'd look suspicious. I'll give you details tomorrow.
We arrived at our room and tried to go inside.
"It's locked…" Logan said. Freddie and I exchanged looks.
Freddie started knocking. "Sam? Sam are you in there?"
"Of course she's in there, man! Let us open it!" I whisper-shouted.
When Logan opened the door, though, there was nobody in the room.
TO: Chase
FROM: Michael
Where are you guys?
TO: Michael
FROM: Chase
Just grabbing some coffee, man. Be back soon.
We all got comfortable on the couch and played the movie that was on the screen. It was some horror movie. Nothing special, but I knew that horror movies usually mean cuddling. Ugh.
Pretty soon we heard voices approaching in the hall. When Sam and Chase walked in, standing a little close, we all looked up. She noticed us and took a little step away from him.
"What are you doing here?" Sam asked.
"What are you doing here?" Freddie replied quickly.
"Whatever. I'm going home." Sam growled. She ran her fingers down Chase's arm. "Thanks again." She smiled and walked out. Freddie got up.
"Better make sure she gets back okay. Night fellas." He said quickly before rushing out the door, brushing past Chase.
"Well, I'm gonna go take a shower, so see ya." Chase said before walking out.
"They definitely have something going on…" Logan said when he was gone.
Don't think I'm all that proud of this one. I'm planning something, though, so stick around to see what it could be.
