I've re-read this drabble about 20 times now and it started like something really easy for me but I spent like two hours on the last paragraphs, I wrote them about 10 times each...I don't love it but I think it came out pretty well. Reasons at the end, lol, Enjoy!

Green
She really never did like the color green.
On her first day of school her mom had made her wear a summer dress that, even though she and her dad swore it looked cute on her, she despised. It was a light pear color, with white and jade flowers, that she knew clashed horribly with the lime green ribbons that her mom decided (much against her own will) to tie at the end of her pig tails.
Because even at the tender age of seven, she knew what looked good on her, and it definitely wasn't green.
But as she grew up she knew that some days you just had to wear the awful color. She learned that quickly on Saint Patty's day when her friends all laughed at her for not wearing something green, anything.
And so, she learned to compromise, and she also learned to hate the ridiculously leprechaun – based holiday.
But when she turned fifteen she thought her phobia for the color was cured, after all, his eyes where a sea green color with specks of forest, and she loved those eyes.
Oh boy, was she ever wrong...
They walked in front of her, almost as if they hadn't seen her at all sitting in the fountain that adorned PCA's campus.
"Dumped, as in see ya!"
How could he have been so insensitive? Couldn't he see she now had to spend a whole year at PCA too? And even worse, she now had to actually see them laughing and smiling together, their hands almost touching from time to time; and of course, only she seemed to notice how his cheeks slightly reddened.
Like they used to do when she kissed him.
This time, however, she knew she just couldn't wash the appalling color away, or cover it up, because this shade, the shade she hated the most, was not even visible to anyone but herself.
So she hid behind her book and lost herself on the letters, because green didn't really suit her and she'll be damned if anyone ever found out.

Ok, this is totally the longest drabble (and explanation), lol.
Yes, I'm talking about Rebecca because, even though she acted like a bitch about the whole Zoey thing, she still has feelings and I think what Chase said ("Dumped as in see ya!") to Zoey (about her) was totally un-needed and just plain mean. It's pretty much implied that Chase actually did like Rebecca and that they had fun together, if not why would he asked her to be his gf?. And (to top it all of) the poor girl's stuck in PCA without knowing anyone and only went there because of Chase and now she doesn't even have him.
So this drabble is set a few months after they broke up and she remembers overhearing Chase and Zoey's conversation on her way to her room, and tries to not feel jealous 'cause "green didn't really suit her" and she's too proud to let it show.
So, yeah, lol, I know I said Nicole, Quinn or Chase but well, this brunette just came to me lol.
Hope you liked it, oh, and I (personally) LOVE Saint Patty's day lol,
