AN: Thanks to everyone that came back and reviewed last chapter. This is another shorter chapter, but for a while they will all probably be short so I can update frequently. LZF asked me to do a recap of everything that's happened so far, and I will next chapter, because I typed this right before classes. Also Logan doesn't know why Dana is mad at him. Thanks to my unsigned reviewers…Ashley, hopefully, nl, Kristen, and Merllerties

Chapter 26- Still Loving You

"You want to move in with me?" Jordan asked in surprise.

Nicole nodded eagerly as she played around with the strap on her purse. It looked as if Jordan was going to say no, so Nicole started to get nervous. She bit her lip, and then tried to figure out a way to distract him from turning her down. Nicole could understand if Jordan wanted to keep his dorm to himself, but then again she didn't want to hear him turn her down. She raised her hand as she tried to make sense of her own thoughts. She was confused. But why was she confused.

Jordan reached for Nicole's hands.

She snapped out of her brief moment, and focused her saucers on his pale blue eyes. His hand was warm to the touch, and she suddenly felt as if he would say yes. Nicole wanted to squeal like a cheerleader, do cartwheels down the hall, and kiss him over and over. If he said yes, then that meant that they would be together always. Nicole couldn't see herself getting tired of watching Jordan get dressed in the morning. She blushed, why was she thinking these dirty thoughts? She giggled.

"Why are you giggling?" Jordan asked.

Nicole's eyes widened and then she placed her hand over her mouth, "Did I really just giggle?"

Jordan slowly nodded, "Yeah, unless I'm imagining things, which I'm pretty sure I'm not." He looked down at his watch and then glanced down the hall. "I have Politics in three minutes, so I got to go."

Nicole pouted.

Jordan kissed her on the cheek, "Smile,"

Nicole plastered on a smile so wide that her mouth started to hurt. "I'm happy, see…see, okay, not really, but are you going to answer me? I mean, like if you want to say No then just say it. I won't be mad. I'll still love you the same even though…"

"Hey," Jordan circled his hands around Nicole's arms, "I didn't give you an answer yet, you know I would say yes, but…"

"But what?" Nicole asked as she twirled a strand of her chocolate locks around her pinkie.

Jordan smirked, "It's just that…" He paused and then shook his head. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Nicole shrugged, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Jordan tilted his head to the side, "Thinking about what?"

Nicole blushed again. "Forget it, I um…"

"What?" Jordan asked smiling back at her flirtatiously.

"Shower time," Nicole answered. "Well I mean not us…with shower time, but you. I mean because you'll have to get undressed and…oh god, I sound like Meadow…I mean it's just a thought. No a daydream…no a fantasy…Oh, I'll just shut up,"

Jordan smiled, "And if I said I had the same kind of dreams about you then."

Nicole's mouth dropped open in mock disgust and then she hit him, "Then you would be Logan!"

Jordan grinned, "And I am far from him. So I'll just say I have dreams about you and me getting married one day."

"Aww," Nicole wrapped her arms around him and then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "That's sweet,"

Jordan blushed, "I…I gotta go, oh and guess what."

"What?"

"I got a call from my agent, they found some modeling work for me around here." Jordan grinned, "A new store is opening up and they're looking for models, and I have an interview."

Nicole squealed, "When!"

"Tomorrow, I just found out today. But I got to go! We have quizzes in politics everyday about what's going on in the world. And I think this one is going to be about President's Bush's approval rating."

"Who's Bush?" Nicole asked with a quizzical expression.

Jordan bit his lip, and waited for Nicole to tell him that she was kidding. But when she continued to give him the same blank stare, he decided to help her out. "He's the President of the United States, babe."

"Oh, gotcha!"

Zoey stepped into the Cyber Bean. She looked around the densely crowded student hangout and then grabbed a seat in the corner. She just wanted to be alone, so she could think. Zoey opened her bookbag and pulled out 'Lord of the Flies' which she was required to read for her English Class.

"Hey,"

Zoey looked up and then sighed in relief when she saw Chase sit down across from her. "It's nice to see a friendly face, especially when that person doesn't hate me."

Chase glanced down at the book Zoey was reading and then back at her. "That's a pretty deep book."

Zoey nodded, "Just what the doctor ordered right now,"

Chase sighed.

Zoey placed down her book, "What was the sigh for?"

Chase stared back at her in confusion, "Huh?"

"You sighed, what was it for?"

Chase sat back in his seat and then looked down at his hands which were tapping along the table. "Sawyer's still not talking to you is he?"

"I don't care," Zoey lied.

"Yes, you do."

"No,"

Chase leaned forward and then placed his hand along the edge of Zoey's book so he could pull it down. Zoey glared back at him. Chase's cheeks grew warm and he took it a step further by closing the book. He felt nervous enough to start stumbling over his words, but he had something to tell Zoey and he couldn't back down. "You and I…"

Zoey looked down. She opened her mouth to speak, but when no words came out, she swallowed nervously. Of all the times to have this conversation, she couldn't believe that Chase had chosen now!

"It was a mistake I know,"

Zoey looked up.

Chase rested his hand against his cheek and then looked down at his hands as he started to trace circles on the table. "I'll tell Sawyer that it was all me, that I kissed you…and that…"

"Why are you doing this?"

Chase clenched his jaw. He just wanted Zoey to be happy. "Because I…"

"I don't want you to talk to Sawyer, I don't want you anywhere near him Chase."

Zoey's words pierced through Chase's heart like a steak knife. He took in a deep breath in order to avoid the sting that was sure to come afterwards. "

"I've hurt you enough. All last year, I played you and Sawyer both. I never intended to, but it just happened…" Zoey closed her eyes as she wiped away a tear. "I never realized what I was doing until now, and that's the saddest part of all."

Chase's eyebrows lowered over his eyes. He reached for a napkin and then handed it to Zoey.

She shook her head. "I'm fine. Why do you want to talk to Sawyer, Chase?"

Chase pulled the napkin back towards him, "Because I…"

"Why,"

"I just want you to be happy."

Zoey grabbed her purse and bookbag, "You need to stop worrying about my happiness and focus on yours'. I'm the one that messed everything up, you have a chance to start over, so Chase just take it."

Before Zoey could leave Chase stood up, and blocked her. "Michael and I are having a Playstation 2 party."

Zoey raised an eyebrow. "Um…okay,"

Chase scratched his head nervously, "And we were wondering if you wanted to come. I mean, you even admitted yourself that you like to watch Samurai Brothers Konchowi."

"When did I say that?"

Chase looked down at his sneakers. No matter how long he had known Zoey, he always got nervous whenever he looked into her beautiful brown eyes. "Okay, I made it up, I just didn't want you to be alone. I mean…we're ordering pizza, and we'll have tons of sodas, and not to mention dancing raisins." Chase held up his hands like a fool and then started to tap his feet as he kicked outwards. "Okay, not helping."

"Dancing raisins?" Zoey asked in puzzlement.

"Yeah, Michael got this movie about dancing raisins it's actually pretty funny and I think you would love it. It might even make you laugh, so what do you say?"

"I'll think about it." Zoey said trying to get past Chase.

He stepped to the right in order to block her again.

"Chase!" Zoey whined.

"If you decide to come meet me at my dorm at eight…or I can come and get you." Chase added in quickly.

"Will Logan be there? Because I don't think I can deal with him."

"No, he's never there anymore. He's been going home a lot lately, and I think it has something to do with Dana."

Zoey nodded. "Okay, I guess I'll see you later."

"Bye," Chase said looking after Zoey.

As Zoey walked towards the door, she heard a couple of girls from PCA talking.

"When did he get so hot?" One girl asked.

"Chase!" Another added.

Zoey paused at the door. She opened it and then turned around to face Chase. Sure enough he was watching her, and she couldn't help but to notice the way his emerald eyes were gleaming. His eyes were so green that she could see them all the way from here. Her heart skipped a beat, because Zoey had always loved Chase. But she had chosen Sawyer over him, because it seemed as if Chase would always be there, she never saw him moving on. And finding another girl. Maybe it was because she was selfish.

"He's on the market ladies," Someone added.

Zoey looked towards the girls and then walked out of the Cyber Bean.

"Say that again Meadow!" Dana yelled.

Meadow stepped back.

Dana stepped towards her accusingly. "If you have something to say, then repeat it. Don't be scared, because all I'm going to do is hit you in your ugly ass face!"

"Oh real mature," The girl next to Meadow said.

Dana's fists clenched tightly as she glared at the random next to Meadow. "And who the hell are you!"

"Like your worthy enough to know my name trash."

Dana's mouth dropped open, "Excuse me?"

She smirked, "I said trash,"

Dana lunged forward. She grabbed a fistful of the blonde's hair and then slammed her against the locker.

The blonde screamed. But her hand flew across Dana's face causing Dana to let go.

Her cheek burned because the girl was wearing a ring, and she had cut Dana's cheek slightly.

Bewildered Dana lunged forward again. But someone was behind her now with their arms wrapped tightly around her holding her back. "Let me go! I am going to kill her!"

"Dana!" Logan exclaimed.

Logan? Dana thought in confusion. As she relaxed in his arms.

"Yo Skyler," Michael said sneaking up behind her.

She turned around and beamed back at him. "Hi Mike,"

"Ohh…you're calling me Mike now?"

Skyler scooted over so he could sit next to her. She rested her hand against her cheek as she stared ahead at the Pacific Ocean beyond PCA's campus. "So what's been up with you?"

Michael yawned, "School just started back up, and man am I tired of it already!"

She smiled, "Everyone seems to be slacking these days. My auditions are coming up and…"

"Hey, can I sit here?"

Both Michael and Skyler looked up in surprise to see Logan's cousin Dakota standing over them with a tray in his hand. He had asked Skyler more than Michael, so he was still staring at her as he waited for a response.

"I don't see why not," She said with a smile.

Michael frowned. He got jealous when other guys talked to Skyler, but it wasn't like they were going out. Michael felt his leg resting against something, he smiled when he realized that it was Skyler's leg. She was wearing these nice jeans that fit her so well. Michael smiled to himself, maybe it was time that he asked her out. They openly flirted all the time, and not to mention she was the only girl that would play video games with him, and Chase even though she didn't like video games that much. Yeah, she was a keeper. Michael grinned. He was going to ask Chase to help him get with Skyler.

"Do you like motorcycles Skye?" Dakota asked as he pushed away his tray.

"No," She said.

"Why not?"

"I think they're dangerous," She flipped her long raven hair off of her shoulder and then looked back at Dakota in confusion. "Why?"

Dakota smiled a cheeky smile that resembled Logan's a little too closely. "Because I need a pretty girl to ride on back with me."

Michael looked back at Dakota as if he were crazy. Oh hell no! Skyler was his. Michael had to lay down the line, let Dakota know that Skyler was already taken. He opened his mouth, but then he backed off. Because what could he say without looking like a jealous boyfriend?
