Chapter 7- Beasts and Surfer Boys

Zoey, Chase and Sawyer sat across from each other at the Cyber Bean. It was late, but they didn't care.

Chase glanced at Zoey's ice cold mocha, it looked so good…and it looked even better because her lips had been on it. Chase blushed. He always had Zoey on the brain 24/7.

"I can't believe this." Zoey mumbled.

"Me either," Sawyer sighed and then took a sip of Zoey's mocha.

Chase scowled. Her mocha didn't look so good anymore.

Zoey sunk down in the booth, "Dana is going to be so mad."

Sawyer ran his hands through his blonde hair, and then rested his cheek against his balled fist. "What will happen if we get kick…"

"Sawyer!" Zoey exclaimed.

"What?" He asked.

"Getting kicked out of PCA isn't even a possibility! My parents would kill me."

"Oh,"

Zoey pouted, "And then I would never see you guys again."

Chase scowled. The thought of going back to Washington State, and Zoey going back to Louisiana, was terrifying. He had grown accustomed to seeing her sunny smile in the morning…and her sexy brown eyes always stayed in the back of his mind. Chase sat up.

Zoey tilted her head backwards. Her spaghetti strap slid down her tanned shoulder.

Both of the boys noticed.

Sawyer smiled to himself. He was dating the hottest girl at PCA.

Chase looked down as he felt his cheeks turning an all to familiar shade of red.

Zoey pulled her spaghetti strap back up. "Oh look there's Jack and Quinn."

Sawyer turned around, "Weird Quinn,"

Zoey playfully kicked him under the table as Quinn approached.

"Ahh, she's got a rat!" Some guy yelled.

Chase, and Sawyer turned around to witness a man leap five feet into the air onto the counter, and then knock down his coffee.

Zoey smiled in amusement. She couldn't contain her laughter. Quinn had her rats, Tabby and Tamulthus on leashes, and Jack was standing beside her. He seemed embarrassed, but he obviously wasn't going anywhere.

"That's gross," Sawyer complained.

Zoey grinned, "Just what we need Quinn to zap our worries away."

"I bet you she has a new invention Zo," Chase added.

Zoey nodded back at him, "I bet you Chase,"

"Hey my favorite triangle…or should I say love triangle." Quinn teased.

"Come again Quinn?" Zoey said with a scowl.

Quinn smiled approvingly at Sawyer and Chase, "Two complete hotties…who would blame you."

Jack gently squeezed Quinn's shoulder, "Sorry Zoey, Chase and Sawyer, Quinn had one too many lattes and for some reason caffeine makes her talk crazy."

"Oh Jack," Quinn said while laughing.

Zoey looked down and noticed one of the rats trying to get into her purse. No you don't, you nasty little thing, she thought pulling her purse away.

"How do you like my new invention?" Quinn asked.

Zoey looked back at Quinn confused. "Invention?"

Quinn smiled, and then handed the leash to Zoey. "This is the dog walker, put it around anyone's neck and then it gives them the impulses and actions of a dog."

One of Quinn's mice barked.

"What the fu…" Sawyer started grabbing onto Zoey's arm.

The other one barked.

Chase brought his legs onto the chair. "Quinn, that's some crazy shit.'

Quinn nodded, "I know, but don't you love it!"

Mice aren't supposed to bark Quinn," Zoey said with wide eyes.

"I know, which makes my baby rats even more special."

Jack shook his head back at Zoey, "Come on Quinn…we're watching a marathon of Tom Cruise movies, do you guys want to come?"

"You like Tom Cruise?" Zoey asked Quinn.

Quinn quickly looked away from Zoey, "No…I like the aliens better. Um…c'mon Jack and stop spilling my dirty secrets."

Sawyer smiled. "She scares me."

"Me too," Chase added.

Zoey smiled. She liked to see Sawyer and Chase getting a long, but then again how long would that last. "Maybe we should do something for CoCo,"

"Like a bribe?" Chase asked.

Zoey bit her lip, "Um…not really a bribe, just a nice deed."

"CoCo is mean she'll never bite." Chase sighed.

"Hey Chase…you gotta have hope," Zoey reached out her hands.

Sawyer raised an eyebrow, "What's going on Sunshine?"

"Boys, I have a plan." Zoey said reaching for Sawyer and Chase's hands.

"Please don't sell my soul to CoCo." Chase begged jokingly.

Zoey bit her lip, "Hopefully CoCo won't drive a hard bargain. Dean Rivers is strict, and if we go up against him, then he probably will expel us."

"So you're suggesting we go to CoCo, and beg for her to let us off the hook?" Sawyer asked.

Zoey nodded, "But not beg, maybe we can explain to her how sorry we are, and how much being expelled will hurt our chances of getting into a decent colleges."

"What if she snarls at us, spits in our faces, and then body slams us all against the wall?" Chase asked.

Zoey reached in her purse for a small pack of tissues, "Well then I'll clean you guys up…because it was my idea."

"Scrub a dub dub," Sawyer teased.

Zoey playfully rolled her eyes, "But I'm serious, because I can't let Dana get in trouble for something she had nothing to do with."

Zoey stood up.

Chase and Sawyer looked at her legs. Zoey's legs were looking long in her pleated skirt even though she was 5'6.

"What are you guys looking at?" Zoey asked.

Chase looked away, "Oh is that the latest song from The Killers?"

"You like The Killers too?" Sawyer asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah, they're awesome man." Chase responded.

"We got something in common." Sawyer said.

Zoey smiled. Although she found it cute that Sawyer and Chase were "bonding", they didn't have time to focus on anything besides CoCo, and clearing their names. "Boys lets go."

Zoey knocked on CoCo's door. 80's soft rock was filtering from underneath the door.

"Who is it?" CoCo asked.

Zoey glanced at Sawyer and Chase. They both looked away. She sighed and then spoke up. "CoCo, it's Zoey Brooks."

"Hold on,"

The door opened seconds later, and CoCo stared back at them with shaving cream across her upper lip, and underneath her chin.

Zoey fought back a smile. "Um…hey,"

CoCo raised an eyebrow, "Don't act like you've never grown a moustache before Brooks,"

Zoey looked back at Sawyer and Chase in embarrassment. "Actually CoCo, I haven't grown a moustache…because I'm a girl."

"And so am I." CoCo said with bulging eyes.

Zoey felt Chase's hand grab her belt buckle so he could pull her away. "Oh, I meant um…I usually don't grow hair above my upper lip, but some girls might."

"And you're saying I do blondie?" CoCo barked.

Zoey took in a mouthful of air, "Well I um…" Zoey motioned a hand towards CoCo's shaving cream. Her eyes widened as a big glob of the white foam fell to the floor.

CoCo crossed her arms.

"CoCo, can we talk to you?" Chase asked.

Thank God for Chase, Zoey thought to herself in relief.

"Sure, I need to finish shaving first…" CoCo narrowed her eyes at Zoey, "Not all girls are naturally beautiful as some."

Sawyer and Chase smiled back at their girl…Zoey.

CoCo opened the door wider so they could all come in.

The first thing Zoey noticed was CoCo was burning Aromatherapy candles…in a matter of fact she was burning her Aromatherapy candles!

"They smelt good." CoCo said raising her chin.

They sat down, and waited patiently for CoCo to shave. A couple seconds later she returned from her bathroom. "I feel all pretty now, so what brings you three rule breakers back?" CoCo said as she blew out Zoey's candles first, and then sat down on her bed.

"We just wanted to apologize. We know that we broke the rules CoCo, and we deserve to be punished, but this is our first offense, and I promise to you that if we are given another chance it will never happen again." Zoey reasoned.

"Are you bribing me?" CoCo asked.

"No," Zoey said quickly.

CoCo slightly raised her chin, "Well if I go to Dean Rivers then I know he will expel you. The rules are taken very seriously, and especially since all three of you are underage, they don't play around."

"Well can we…" Sawyer started. He then looked down, "I can't afford to get kicked out of PCA, because if I do then I'm going to have to live in Germany with my dad."

Zoey turned to him surprise. "What?"

Sawyer glanced up, "My dad is stationed over there, and the only thing that keeps my mom and my little sister Madison here, is because I am going to PCA,"

Zoey pouted at the thought of Sawyer being all the way in Germany.

CoCo thought it over, "Well, Zoey, I have to admit that you, Nicole, and Dana are my favorite residents on this floor."

Zoey stared back at CoCo hopefully.

CoCo tapped her hands on her jeans, "Okay…here's the deal. I won't go to Rivers."

"Yes!" Sawyer exclaimed.

"But you guys are going to have to work for this…I'll exclude Dana because she wasn't there, but as for you, Zoey, Chase, and Sawyer, I own you three…and I also own Jordan and Nicole for the next week."

Zoey scowled. She didn't want to be CoCo's slave…but then again what could she do? She did get Dana off of the hook. And even better her guys weren't going anywhere. Sawyer wasn't going to Germany, and Chase wasn't going back to Washington State. Zoey couldn't help but smile a little, when did she start calling them her guys?

"So here's the deal. This week I have a lot of tests and I'm going to be extremely busy, so I have some favors I need of you."

"Name them." Chase said.

Zoey turned around to look at Chase. There eyes locked, and he gave her a small shrug.

"Okay, I need my laundry washed, I have a paper on the Holocaust due, I need five poems written for my English Class, I need someone to run my errands, make my dinner, pick up some shifts for me at the diner, and last but not least I want to have the surfer boy for a week."

Zoey was busy counting the tedious list of chores that CoCo was dropping like a bomb onto them…until she made some request about a surfer boy for a week. Zoey wasn't a boy, so she was obviously talking about Chase or Sawyer.

Both Chase and Sawyer looked like they just came from the beach.

Sawyer was wearing some light blue board shorts and a wife beater, and Chase was wearing board shorts too and a tee-shirt that read California Surf. Was tonight beach night and Zoey didn't get the memo.

"Any objections?" CoCo asked.

Zoey raised her hand.

"Yeah?" CoCo asked abruptly.

"Who do you want for a week?"

"Do you mean the guy that I want to take me to dinner, carry me on his back as we stroll down the beach, and share a steamy and passionate kiss with on the last day on the very last day?"

Zoey scowled. She wanted to turn down CoCo's offer, because she didn't want Sawyer or Chase subjected to CoCo for a WHOLE week, and not to mention a kiss!

CoCo stared between Sawyer and Chase with a look of satisfaction across her face. A dribble of evil drool traveled down her chin.

Chase fought the urge to make a gagging noise.

"You'll better be lucky that I'm not greedy, because if I was then I would have both of you boys. But since I'm a one man kind of girl, then I'll settle for one."

Zoey swallowed down a bad taste in her mouth. "Chase or Sawyer, CoCo?"

Both Chase and Sawyer shook there heads.

Sawyer pointed to Chase, and then coughed, "Choose him."

Chase clenched his jaw as Coco narrowed her eyes at him. She was one of the scariest girls he had laid eyes upon, and it didn't help that she was built like an amazon wrestler.

CoCo then shifted her beady eyes towards Sawyer once again. "I want to have..."
