Chapter 9- I heart trouble

"I brought breakfast," Zoey said closing the door behind her.

Nicole yawned as she blow dryed her hair. "Ohh, did you go to McDonald's and get me a MCGriddle? Those things are sooo good," Nicole replied.

"No, I actually stopped by the Cyber Bean, how does a sausage egg and cheese biscuit sound?"

Nicole smiled, "From McDonald's!"

Zoey sighed, "No Nicole, the Cyber Bean."

Nicole waved her hand, "I don't want that nasty food."

"Oh okay," Zoey sat down on her bed next to a sleeping Chase. She placed down the containers of orange juice, and the bag and then turned around to face Chase. "Hey sleeping beauty."

Chase turned over on his side. As his eyes were still closed he stretched. "Is it morning already?"

Zoey got up to pull open the curtains, "Yeah,"

Chase scowled, "Aww man, I have to go to work today."

"Me too, but I'm not working." Nicole said bringing her legs onto the couch.

Zoey shook her head at Nicole, "Your going to get fired you know that."

Nicole nodded, "I know, Logan hasn't asked me to pay for his silk shirt in a while because he's been so busy with Dana, and all the guys that work there are not even cute."

Chase sat up.

Zoey scooted over.

He stretched out once again. His arm went behind Zoey's back, and then he rested it around her shoulders momentarily.

Zoey smiled, "You need to shower,"

"Do I stink?" Chase asked embarrassed.

Zoey shook her head, "No…wait let me see,"

Nicole watched Zoey and Chase curiously.

Zoey reached for a little bit of Chase's shirt and then took a quick sniff, "You smell like Axe…oh, and it's my favorite kind Essence."

Chase smiled.

"How sexy," Zoey teased.

Nicole's eyes widened. "Zoey Brooks,"

"What?" Zoey asked.

"Flirting with Chase, Chase sleeping over here, sniffing shirts! What's next matching dog tags with each others name…ohh, well that would be a good idea for Jordan and I."

"We're just playing around." Zoey said gently pushing Chase's head back.

Chase smiled, and then reached for her hand.

Nicole continued to watch them strangely. "Well anywhoo, Jordan and I danced under the moonlight last night."

Zoey tilted her head to the side, "That's cute."

"I know…and then some kid got beat up, and thrown into the pool."

Chase stared at Nicole surprised because he wasn't expecting the sudden change in topic. "A kid got beat up and thrown into the pool?"

Nicole nodded, "Yeah, it was crazy…and out of no where."

Zoey sighed, "Some people are such bullies, I'm sure he didn't even do anything to those guys."

"His name is Cassidy, he was kinda cute…but anyways Zoey did you want to go shopping for some back to school outifits?"

Zoey smiled, "Uh sure, but what about this kid Cassidy?"

Nicole shrugged, "I'm finished talking about him. We're getting assigned partners and babies for the Family living project when we get back. I heard the babies are like from this new toy company that's making really high tech toys, and that we're also an experimental group to try them out…isn't that like so cool?"

Chase mimicked Nicole's "mile a minute" talk with his hands.

Nicole picked up a pillow and tossed it at him.

Chase caught it easily.

"Trying to be all athletic too Chase huh?" Nicole asked.

Chase smiled, "No, it was just a pillow…"

"And not to cut you off or anything Chase. But I also heard that the babies are supposedly from different countries…so we are like adopting baby toys from different countries, and that's how are teacher can tell them apart and see if we lost them which results in an F…I am so excited and I hope to God that Jordan is my partner!"

Chase and Zoey stared back at Nicole open mouthed.

"What?" Nicole asked.

"Slow down…it's way too early in the morning for this," Chase said.

Nicole grinned, "Oh, sorry."

Dana woke up in an unfamiliar setting. She peeled her eyes open and then let out a yawn. The bed that she was sleeping in, was so much more comfortable than hers. She turned over on her side, and smiled at the feel of the comfy mattress pad underneath her, and the 250 thread count sheets. Hmm…who's bed was this.

Dana scowled. Oh God, she was so out of it last night. What if she slept with some random guy last night! Oh God! Dana sat up and then looked around the room, she recognized this room. Posters of Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, and Jessica Simpson stared back at her. Dana then glanced over at Logan's vanity mirror, and then at Michael who was snoring on the floor, while Skyler slept in his bed.

Dana placed her hand to her forehead. She had a headache the size of Canada.

The door opened and Logan stepped in with a towel around his waist. He smiled back at her. "Morning,"

Dana grunted, "Why did you bring me back to your lair?"

Logan chuckled, "Lair? Why do you have to make it sound so primitive?"

Dana looked around for her shoes.

"You were out of control last night, do you remember jail, and then throwing my phone into the bushes, and then kissing me in those bushes?"

Dana snarled, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"You kissed me baby doll,"

His nickname made her cringed, "Yeah, uh huh, whatever you say, where's my clogs ass face?"

Logan crossed his arms over his chest, "The ones I threw out the window?"

Dana turned to him with ferocity. "No you didn't!"

Logan didn't. But he thought it was fun to lie. "Yeah, I did."

Dana shook her hand in his direction. "I swear if you did then I wil…"

"Kiss me again?" Logan asked getting closer. "You and I are practically dating why not fina…"

"Dating! Ha, you got to be kidding."

Logan reached for his gel, and then started to open it. "I have to get ready for this party tonight."

"What kind of party?"

"A boring fancy party that my father is throwing for all of his rich producer friends…

Dana stifled a yawn, "Hmm…boring,"

"I need a date."

Dana rolled her eyes, "You don't…"

"It's a fancy party baby doll, a guy as sexy and hot as me, can't go with an equally foxy girl on his arm…say a little lady candy."

Dana sighed, "Ask me later,"

"Well I'm guessing you're going to need a dress,"

"I'm not buying a dress, what the hell do I look like? Do you think I'm made of money?"

Logan pulled down his towel a little, "No. but I am."

"And do you think that you can buy me with money, or pulling down your towel like that?" Dana said crossing her arms.

"What girl doesn't want to mingle with rich people, and hot guys like me, and if I am buying the dress, then what's the problem."

Dana raised her chin, "Fine,"

Logan smiled. "I knew it."

"But that doesn't change anything, I'm still mad at you, and I swear Logan if I hear you telling one of those rich producers or your father that I'm your girlfriend then I'll embarrass you so bad that…"

"Embarrass me? Oh sweetheart, I can't be embarrassed."

Dana watched as Michael and Skyler slowly started to get up.

"You can't be embarrassed huh?"

Logan nodded, "It's what I said right,"

Dana lunged forward and ripped of Logan's towel with a quick pull, and then swung open the door to run down the hall. "Pick me up later!" She yelled laughing.

Logan quickly reached for another towel and then pulled it around his waist. He chased after Dana, she had stopped because she didn't think he would come after her.

Dana gasped when she realized that Logan was fast. She turned around and started to run down the hallway. Boys on Logan's floor watched them.

A couple seconds later Logan had caught up. He reached out for anything, his hands grabbed Dana's skirt.

Dana squealed as she felt her skirt go down.

A couple guys cheered.

"Logan you ass!" Dana yelled. She turned around and yanked off his towel.

"Woah," The guys said. "Put that back on man,"

Dana tackled Logan to the ground forgetting that her skirt was halfway down her legs, and exposing her panties to any guy that walked past.

Logan rolled on top of her.

"Get off of me! This doesn't look right." Dana exclaimed.

"Dana, Logan, what the hell is going on here?"

Dana and Logan looked up in surprise to see CoCo.

"Both of you, to my room now!"

"I told Chase and Sawyer that we would join them at the beach later," Zoey said.

Nicole nodded, "Okay, maybe I should ask Jordan to come?"

Zoey reached for her brush, and started to run it through her hair. "Maybe, did you ever find out why he pushed you away?"

Nicole shook her head, "No…he was about to tell me something but then that kid Cassidy was getting beat up and…I'm Curious,"

Zoey smiled, as she reached for her perfume and then sprayed it on. "Want some Curious gal?"

Nicole nodded, "Spray me…just in case my boy toy comes by."

Zoey smiled as she sprayed Nicole. "Jordan's your boy toy with a secret."

"Can we brainstorm…or can you, I suck at brainstorming which might explain my D average in English."

"Sure Nic," Zoey reached for her lip gloss. "I can think of a couple things."

"Name them," Nicole said flipping her hair off of her shoulders.

"Well maybe he has a girlfriend,"

Nicole pouted, "If he does then I'll cry."

"And what if he's gay?"

Nicole scowled, "I'd cry to! I mean if he's gay he's not going to want me."

"You don't know that," Zoey said.

Nicole sighed, "Maybe I just don't want to know. I don't want to, it's settled, whenever he opens his mouth to tell me, I'll like change the subject or something. I have this perfect image of him built and I don't want anything to ruin it. Nothing!"

Zoey nodded, "Okay, then we'll just forget about it."

Nicole nodded back, "Yeah, lets forget."

Chase stepped into Surf and Tame with sunglasses pulled over his eyes. He pulled down his glasses, and then looked around for the manager Boyd.

Sawyer was already standing behind the desk, in a preppy polo, and a beanie pulled over his blonde hair. "Hey Chase,"

"Hey," Chase said. "Have you seen Boyd?"

Sawyer nodded, "Yeah he's in the back, you're looking sharp."

Chase smiled. He didn't even try to look sharp, but he guessed that he would take it as a compliment. Chase walked into the back, and found Boyd playing games on his PSP. Boyd looked up, "Oh hey…Matthews is that you?"

Chase nodded, "Yeah,"

"Where's the fro dude?"

Chase grinned, and then patted his head. "The "fro" is gone a friend of mine shaved it off."

"You look good man. Any chics been hollering at you lately?"

Chase wasn't used to all of this attention. A part of him felt insecure, but then again a part of him liked it as well. "So what do you want me to do?"

"Well you'll be on the sales floor helping customers and then when business gets really slow, we might put you outside to hand out flyers to the people on the beach."

Chase nodded, "Cool,"

"They're one more girl…She's a little late so…"

"Hey, sorry I'm late."

Chase turned around in shock.

The girl was also wearing sunglasses. She pulled them away from her green eyes and then smiled back at Chase. "Chase, you're working with me?"

Chase frowned, "I must be,"

"You know each other?" Boyd asked.

She nodded, "Yeah, he's my friend."

Chase raised an eyebrow. "No I'm not"

Boyd looked between them confused, "Okay, I'm going to get Sawyer so we can all have a quick meeting."

As soon as Boyd stepped out, the girl pushed Chase.

"What do you mean you're not my friend! I consider you mine."

"Well then you're twisted because…" Chase started.

Sawyer stepped into the small office with them. His eyes widened and he almost turned around, but Boyd was behind him. Sawyer bumped into him, and then turned back around.

"You okay man?" Boyd asked.

Sawyer nodded, "Yeah, I'm cool."

Meadow turned around. Her mouth dropped open, "Say it isn't so. How the hell did I get so lucky. Sawyer, and Chase...I'm working with both of you. Oh, this is going to be the best damn job hands down."

(Hey guys…I've been writing like crazy…so I might take a little break. Maybe until like Monday…but you never know because when I get bored I write.

RICA- Ahh! I will never forget you again! Bad is in the picture for Meadow, and if you have any ideas…I would love to hear them! Much love, and I'm sorry again.

Midnight Princess15- Hey…band camp sounds rough. I promise there will be more Zoey and Chase in this one…time to balance this triangle out and give Chase a little more attention as well.

Hersheys-kisses- Unfortunately Cassidy will affect them in a bad way, but he's not going to be a bad person…

Ludaverse- Ha, I'll tell you about Cassidy soon. It would be funny if he was a hustla…but he's not. And that true story…hmm, that 18 year old needs to find someone her own age…cuz she's sick…lol

Zxxbsmsgirl- Ur so funny. The CoCo dartboard is hilarious! Nicole, Zoey, and Dana need to get one of those. And by the way Nicole notices Zoey's feelings for Chase.

Evilangel14- No Cassidy isn't one of Zoey's exes, but he will have something to do with her.

Classic RocknRoll Fan- Hey, I love Journey. They're a fricken awesome band…And THANK GOD it's not me that has to start school next week..it's actually Midnight Princess15. I start August 30, and I probably won't update as much, but I will go for at least a new update every week, one or two. Oh, and I like the idea about MeadHo zombies and Chainsaws…that's too funny. U crack me up, and has anyone ever told u that you should be a comedian? You rock.

SingMeAnything-All I'll say is you kind of read my mind. But Meadow won't die…at least not yet.

Pink Positivee- Never! Your comments are so nice, and I never get bored. It just makes me want to keep brainstorming and coming up with good ideas…and make this story longer. But Cassidy isn't liked. And ha ha, yeah Zoey should call law enforcement…also you rock too!
