Chapter 10- Everything you Want

Dear Zoey,

I really like this girl. We started off as good friends, but my feelings for her quickly started to change. I want to tell her that I like her…actually I think I am in love with her…But I've never felt like this before. I've never felt feelings like this for a girl. Woah, that was hard to say, but she's making me re-evaluate myself, and I want to tell her about me…but then again I don't…because I don't know how she will react. And I don't want to lose the one thing that makes sense in my life. Please help me, and let me know what I should do.

Sincerely, Confused Boy in love

Zoey popped a gummy bear into her mouth, and then started to type a response to Confused Boy in love. It had been forever since she had worked on the advice column for the PCA newspaper, and with Meadow after her job, she knew she had to pick up the pace.

The door opened.

Zoey turned around.

Nicole walked in, "Hey, are we still going to the beach or are we stopping by the mall?"

"We could do both after I answer a few advice questions."

Nicole sat down on Zoey's bed, "Jordan is taking me to the fair tonight."

Zoey clapped her hands, "Ohh, maybe you two can ride the ferris wheel together."

Nicole's eyes widened, "You know I don't like that thing! It's way to high up, and it goes to slow, I would have a heart attack and die."

"Even if Jordan was sitting next to you and holding you hand."

"Eek!" Nicole gushed. She held her hands to her heart and then fell back onto Zoey's bed. "I think I can take it then."

"Why don't you try it." Zoey suggested.

Nicole sat up, "Clowns like Ferris wheels, what if I see one of those creppy things on the ferris wheel."

Zoey smiled, "I've never seen a clown on a ferris wheel."

"Oh well I have, when I was younger there was this mean old clown with yellow teeth, that wanted my cotton candy…but it was in my dream."

Zoey tossed a gummy bear at Nicole, "Nic,"

Nicole raised her hands, "Zoey, it could happen!"

"How about this. I dare you to go onto a Ferris wheel with Jordan, and the second you get scared, why don't you grab onto his hand…and if he chases away your fears then…"

"He's the right guy for me." Nicole finished.

Zoey nodded, "Yeah, I can't wait for you guys to get together."

Nicole pouted, "What if he pushes me away again?"

Zoey shook her head, "Don't even think about that."

Nicole sighed, "How can't I. Has Chase ever pushed you away?"

"No,"

Nicole's eyes lit up, "So what's going on between you and Chase these days?"

"Huh?" Zoey asked surprised.

"I see you guys, he can't take his eyes off of you, and vise versa. You are crushing on Chase bad since he's gotten his makeover."

"I am not."

"Zoey, I'm you're BF, you don't have to…"

Zoey tilted her head to the side, "Nicole, c'mon just let me finish at least three more questions and then we'll head to the beach and the mall."

Nicole stood up. "I'll go invite Jordan."

"Okay," Zoey said turning back towards the computer.

As Nicole closed the door behind her, Zoey went back to typing a response to Confused Boy in Love.

Hey Confused Boy in love,

You should be honest with the girl that you have fallen for. If it is truly love then she will be there for you no matter what. I'm sensing that there's something that is holding you back from being with her. Is it her, or is it an issue with yourself or someone else in your life? Those are issues that have to be worked out, before you can be with the girl of your dreams…and if there is someone else you must decide who you are more attracted to. A great way to do that is to come up with a Pro's and Con's list. Well I hoped I help, if you need anymore help, feel free to write to me again. Best of luck.

XOXO, Zoey

Zoey printed her response. She sat back and then stared straight ahead at the computer screen. Her chocolate eyes locked on the words "Pro's and Con's list". Why didn't she do that for Sawyer and Chase? Zoey looked towards the door, the last thing she wanted to do was prove Nicole's suspicions right.

"I thought I had finally gotten over Chase as soon as I started dating Sawyer." A smile crept across Zoey's face. "I guess not."

Zoey pulled a piece of paper out of her desk. On the top portion she wrote "Pro's and Con's, and then she wrote Sawyer and Chase. Zoey sighed. "They're both so perfect is there anything bad about them? Well I'll do Chase and Sawyer's pro's and Cons first."

Chase is sweet, always there to help me, compassionate, handsome, selfless, a little goofy (but still very attractive), Beautiful eyes, a joy to be around, and last but not least a GREAT KISSER!

Zoey gasped. Oh God, did she just write that! She flashed back to a little earlier in the semester, when she had still been torn between the two boys, and she had kissed Chase when the sprinklers were going off…and although she had been drenched from the cold water, Chase's kisses had kept her warm.

Chase's lips touched hers silencing her disturbed thoughts.

Zoey sighed with relief.

Chase placed his hands on the soft, damp grass, and rolled over Zoey.

Zoey turned to the side, and wrapped her arms around Chase's lower back. She didn't know what she thought of herself anymore.

The sprinklers turned back on, but neither Chase or Zoey acknowledged them.

Chase got on top of Zoey protecting her from the gallons of water spraying onto them. "I love you," He whispered between kisses.

"Me too," Zoey mumbled finding Chase's lips once again.

Zoey placed down her pencil, why was she even doing this to herself. She got up, and then walked towards the door. She was ready to leave PCA for a while, and head to the beach. The thought of seeing Sawyer, and Chase on the first day of work excited her. Zoey smiled to herself, "I'm such a dork," She mumbled under her breath.

As Zoey opened the door, she was nearly knocked down by a guy.

"Woah," Zoey said.

He turned around, "I'm sorry,"

"You better run Freak," Some other guy yelled down the hallway.

Zoey looked at the bully in distaste, and then focused on the guy in front of her. "Are you okay?"

He nodded, "Fine,"

"Is that guy picking on you,"

"I'm fine," He repeated. "Now can you just leave me alone?"

Zoey's mouth dropped open. "Oh fine,"

He looked at her a while longer and then walked away quickly.

Maybe that was Cassidy who Nicole and Jordan had saved from getting beat up yesterday?

(Break)

Nicole knocked on Jordan's door. She held a bow in her hand, as she looked around nervously. The last time she had came from Jordan's room, He had rejected her. Nicole bit her lip, she didn't handle rejections well, and she was still hurt from Jordan's, but she loved him too much to turn away. Nicole laughed at her stupidity. Even if he told her that he hated her, she still didn't think she could get over him.

Jordan answered the door in his towel.

Nicole looked up and then did a double take.

"Hey Nicole, what's wrong?"

Nicole looked down so he couldn't see her smile, "I just um…I…"

He pulled her in, "It's okay."

Nicole blushed at the feel of his hand wrapped around her wrist. "Did you want me to let you get dressed first?"

Jordan sat down on his bed, "It's okay, I'll get dressed afterwards."

Nicole nodded, "Okay,"

She was nervous, but why? It wasn't like she hadn't seen him without his shirt before.

"So what brings you by?"

"Um…I walked," Nicole stammered.

Jordan gave her a half smile, "I know that,"

"Oh um…right, I um…I was going to the beach and I um…had this bathing suit and I wanted to tie my hair up in a ponytail, but I couldn't get the bow on…and geez, am I talking in circles? Because if I am you can tell me to shut up…" Nicole continued to ramble on as Jordan got up and walked over to her. She looked up at him, and then stopped talking.

"Did you want me to put it on for you? Or at least try to?"

"Yeah, thanks Jordy,"

Jordan placed his hands on Nicole's shoulders as she turned around.

Nicole gave him the bow.

Jordan pulled Nicole's long chocolate locks into his hands, and then started to play around with the bow.

Nicole smiled as he tightened the bow in her hair.

He let her ponytail down and then placed his hands on her shoulders, "You look pretty."

Nicole glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and then smiled.

Jordan's face was so close to hers. Nicole slightly turned her face towards his. She wanted to kiss him, but then again she didn't want to get hurt.

Jordan rested his chin on her shoulder, "Where are you headed too."

Nicole fought the instinct to kiss him again. HE'S NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND NICOLE! No matter how many times she tried to convince herself that, she felt like they were dating. Nicole smirked, only in her perfect world would she be dating Jordan.

"I was just headed to the beach with Zoey."

"Oh really," Jordan said with a hint of excitement.

"Yeah, did you want to come?" Nicole asked keeping her eyes locked on his and not his body.

"Oh, I um…"

"If you're busy then that's okay." Nicole added quickly.

Jordan looked down and then looked back up at Nicole, "I'll see you later,"

Nicole gave him a defeated smile. "Okay,"

Jordan held out his arms, "Hug,"

"Really?"

He nodded, "Yeah,"

"A little random but how could I resist." Nicole wrapped her arms around Jordan and then rested her chin on his shoulder. "I have a question for you."

He nodded, "Sure,"

Before Nicole could ask him if he had a girlfriend there was a knock at the door.

Damn. Nicole thought.

Jordan looked towards the door and then back at her. "They can wait."

"No it's okay."

"You're more important."

"Aww," Nicole said softly.

Jordan grinned, "Seriously, so what is it?"

Nicole shrugged, "No big, I'll see you later. Bye Jordan."

"I have a task for you two." CoCo said.

"We can't work together." Dana said.

Logan rolled his eyes, "C'mon, we have worked together in some of the most intimate…"

"Logan!" Dana slapped Logan upside the head.

"Hey, watch the hair!"

CoCo watched them in amusement. She took a sip of her biggie drink, and then chomped down on her large cheeseburger with fries combo. "I'll be ready whenever you two are."

"I don't understand why you have to be so difficult, I mean I was naked in front of all those people, and all they saw from you was a peek at those panties…they were a nice peek but…."

Dana slapped his upside the head once again. "I am not an exhibitionist! I don't like to be exposed to random people."

CoCo slurped loudly on her soda.

Dana turned to her annoyed, "Can we just get this over with."

CoCo reached for a fry, "This is better than my Passions."

Logan decided to stop arguing with Dana, "Okay CoCo, what do you want Dana and I to do."

"I'm not doing anything." Dana said crossing her arms.

CoCo wiped off her hands, "Well then you will have to go up against Dean Rivers, and he has kicked out multiple students for streaking the dorms…"

"Streaking! I didn't streak the dorm! This asshole pulled down my skirt!" Dana screamed.

Logan sighed, "You ripped off my towel Dana."

Dana clamped her hand over his mouth, "Shh, let me finish."

Logan playfully bit her hand.

"Oww you animal!" Dana hit him upside the head again.

"Hey! Woman have you lost your mind, it took me fifty freakin minutes to get my hair like this in the morning, so stop hitting me before I don't take you anywhere!"

Dana clenched her jaw, "CoCo, just tell us the punishment."

Logan smiled. He had won.

"This room is a little tiring, it needs a makeover."

Like your face. Dana thought but kept to herself.

CoCo placed her hand to her chin, "I wanted to hire a professional painter to come in and redo this place."

Dana scowled, "How long exactly are you planning on staying here?"

CoCo smiled, "Forever,"

Logan smirked. What a loser.

Dana didn't even want to know the reasons behind CoCo's desire to stay an RA at PCA forever. She pulled her nail filer out. "What do you want CoCo,"

"I'm hiring you Cruz, and Mr. Logan "money bags" Reese to redo my room for me. I was thinking the theme could be Tahitian Dream."

Logan chuckled, "You expect me to paint? Hey, one question for you Cokes…do you mind if I call you that?"

CoCo appeared to not be amused. "I would appreciate not being called the same name as a soda, but what's your question."

"What makes you think Dana and I can paint, and even if we could why don't you hire professionals?"

"It's amusing to watch you two argue, my television's broken right now, and I need some entertainment."

"Do you think we are some kind of side show?" Dana accused.

CoCo nodded, "Yeah,"

Dana's mouth dropped open, "Well I'm not doing it."

"You would rather get kicked out of PCA instead of doing a simple task?"

Logan turned towards Dana. "Baby Doll."

"Cutie Pie," She shot back.

"Baby Doll, just do it. You'll do the painting and I'll do the planning, we'll make a good team."

Dana snarled at Logan. "You're working as hard as I am."

"I don't work."

"Then we're both going to get kicked out of PCA," Dana growled.

"We'll do it," Logan said getting up.

Dana watched him shocked, and then got up as well.

CoCo grinned, "Great, I look forward to working with you both."

Dana slammed the door behind her, and then slammed Logan against the wall. "What was that all about! How could you say yes to her dumb ass idea."

Logan kissed Dana on the cheek, "Because I get to work with you."

"Hey Logan,"

"Yeah, my little firecracker."

Dana grimaced, "Steal another kiss, and I'm taking your towel again."

"You want another glimpse at the Reese family jewels."

Dana made a gagging sound. "Just get ready."

Logan winked, "I can barley wait for tonight. You know you can't either."

She couldn't, but he didn't have to know that.

As Logan walked away, she thought about running up to him, and then stealing his towel again. But she was going to control herself.

She's everything that I want. It's always been that way. I feel like such a loser for holding this crush for so long, but it's hard to move on. Everytime I see her my heart skips a beat. I love the way she laughs, and that little accent of hers. I can't wait to go down to Louisiana with her, and see where she came from…see her family, and learn more about Zoey Brooks. Geez, I sound like some obsessed stalker.

Chase thought all of this as he walked along side Meadow on the beach.

"Hey Chase," Meadow said.

Chase scowled, "Yeah,"

"Tonight's the night."

"What?" Chase asked.

Meadow smiled, "Tonight's the night we are going to rock Sawyer and Zoey's relationship to the core. We're going to destroy them."

Chase stopped, "What's wrong with you?"

Meadow frowned, "What are you talking about?"

"I think you're sick in the head." Chase said angrily.

Meadow's mouth dropped open. "Excuse me!"

"You heard me Meadow, I may be a passive guy, but I don't play around when it comes to Zoey, so I…"

Before Chase could finish, Meadow gave Chase the shock of his life. By placing her hand behind his head, and then forcing her lips onto his.

Meadow was pretty, but she wasn't Zoey, and not to mention she had ice water running through her veins. Chase tried to push her away, but she had the strength of a cobra.

Nicole laid out her towel on the beach. "The sun feels so good today."

Zoey wasn't listening to Nicole, because her eyes were trained on Chase and Meadow kissing. She was angry, hurt, and above all confused. How could Chase kiss the one girl that she hated. Especially when Chase knew how she felt about Meadow. Zoey bit her lip. She wanted to run over to Meadow and push her away from Chase, but what reason did she have to do that? It wasn't like Chase was her boyfriend.

"Whatcha looking at?" Nicole asked.

"Them." Zoey said disheartened.

Nicole's mouth dropped open, "Eww! Why is Chase kissing her, she's like slept with all of the guys at PCA,"

Zoey pretended to gag, "Really,"

Nicole nodded, "I heard she's an easy catch, and she doesn't respect herself, I'm sure she threw her slutty self onto Chase, you got to go over there and let her know that Chase is yours."

Zoey's head was spinning, Nicole just gave her endless options of comments to respond too. "Chase isn't my boyfriend Nicole,"

"I know," Nicole responded.

"So then…"

Nicole stood up and then placed her hand on Zoey's shoulders, "But you're in love with him regardless."

"Nic…"

"You don't have to deny it to me! I'm your best-friend, just go over there and tell Meadow that you need to talk to Chase."

"Actually I'm not going to even ask her, I'm just going to take him."

Nicole gave Zoey a thumbs up, "Even better! Get it Zoey,"

Zoey smiled embarrassed. "It's about time I stand up to Meadow."

"I'm going to take a quick swim, I'll be back." Nicole said running down the beach towards the water.

Jordan watched Nicole from where he sat in the lifeguard stand. He hadn't told her that he was going to be working at the beach while on hiatus from modeling. He smiled as she ran past, her hair flowing behind her, and her legs in perfect motion with her arms. Nicole was incredibly beautiful.

Jordan thought about calling out to her, but instead placed his hand against his cheek and watched her for a little bit longer.

Nicole swam in the ocean like you would a pool. Swimming out deeper and deeper. The waves started to get bigger.

Okay time to turn around, Nicole thought. She turned over and started to swim sideways towards the shore.

"I think that's what I learne…"

Before Nicole could finish her sentence a gigantic wave crashed down on her, dragging her under...
