Thanks Elianna22 for the review. I like to make sure people can picture my scenes.
Chapter 6- Class Take Your Seats
It didn't take Zack long to clean up the mess, Woody and Jackson had helped. Moseby had helped Emma to the ships medical room to have her ankle looked at. Zack really did feel bad that Miss Tuttweiler had got hurt and that Cody had walked away upset. He had headed to the medical room to apologise to Miss Tuttweiler and then decided to go and find Cody. He found his younger brother in his cabin, he was sat on the bed, an ice pack on his cheek.
"Hey buddy. Oh that looks painful." He said as he noticed the bruise appearing on Cody's face.
"It is."
"Look, I am sorry I got you into this. I really thought the plan would work." He said sitting down on Cody's bed.
"It wasn't all your fault. I went along with the silly idea. I was the one silly enough to slip in the laundry trolley." Cody said.
"I really thought Bailey would be impressed. Boy standing up for her....its golden." Zack said.
"It would have worked if it wasn't me in the middle. Face it Zack, me and girls do no go together."
"Stop being so hard on yourself buddy. She just needs time to get used to you, to know the real you."
"Well it is going to be a bit harder from tomorrow." Cody said. Zack looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.
"Why?" He asked.
"Mr Moseby asked me to take over some classes for a few days while Mrs T is getting better. Bailey isn't going to fall for the person who sets her homework and tells her off for being late."
"It happens in teen drama shows all the time buddy. This is great. We can work with this." Zack said.
"No, no way. I love you Zack but I have had enough of your plans. Your last plan gave me a bump on the head and a red eye."
"That could work to your advantage."
"No, Bailey is mad with me, you too. She is not going to be in the mood to chat."
"She has to with me, we are doing a project together."
"She still isn't going to want to talk to me." Cody said.
"Give her time. You need to understand the female brain. They get mad but soon enough they get over it. Give her time." Zack said.
"I hope you are right." Cody said.
The following day the students all poured into the classroom as Cody was trying to get all this papers and books sorted out. He looked up and saw the class arrive. He dropped the books and papers he was holding. Zack noticed his brother panicking and came forward.
"Relax buddy, it's going to be okay. Just calm down." He said picking up the books and handing them back.
"They are.........they will.......oh no!" Cody exclaimed.
"What?"
"Bailey." Cody replied.
"Okay, you get in there and charm her." Zack said.
"She isn't a snake." Cody replied. He stood there looking at her as she sat down and got her books and pencils out. Zack pushed him forward and Cody stumbled closer to her.
"Hey Bailey." He said. She looked at him, said a short hi, and turned back. "Look I know you are upset about last night and the whole punch trolley thing. But it didn't look the way it was meant to. I just wanted to .........."
"Look Cody. You lied to me and got Mrs T hurt. You got yourself hurt too, all to make yourself look macho in front of people."
"No, it wasn't like that." Cody said. "I was just....I wanted to say sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
"I was so embrassed."
"I know and I am sorry. Please can we just forget it all?" Cody asked. Bailey looked over to Zack who was pretending that he wasn't listening.
"Okay, but promise me one thing."
"Sure."
"No more of Zack's plans. They tend to end up getting you covered in bumps." She said.
"Deal. Oh I had better get this class going." He said. He looked around the room and noticed the faces looking at him. "Ummm" he mumbled afraid.
"You can do this Cody." Bailey said. He smiled at her and then looked at the class. Time to impress Bailey, without Zack's help, he thought.
