Okay so here is another serious but kinda not chapter. I will now introduce my OC. If you need a visual of her, just search Nicole Anderson. That is my OC but not at the same time. Reviews are appreciated.

Zack's eyes begin to tear up as he runs out to the sky deck. He doesn't even care that it's pouring rain and cold. He reaches the railing and leans heavily on it. He can't tell which his tears on his face are because the rain is mixing with his tears. His head rests on his hands as he continues to cry. Normally Cody telling him off would just piss him off but this just hit a major sore spot for him.

Zack can't help but feel pain at the thought that Bailey isn't worth him and that she belongs with someone else. He looks up at the dark thundering sky and just allows the rain hit his face. He closes his eyes. He knows that his jeans and nice shirt are getting soaked but he doesn't care.

"You know that you can probably catch a nasty cold by staying out here." Someone behind him says. Zack's eyes fly open and he turns around. His eyes widen at the sight of the stranger. It's a girl. Her hair is dark brown but it looks black because it is wet. Her clothes are hugging her body, which is very shapely and Zack can tell this girl is incredibly fit. His heart beats faster but then the hurt that he has felt with girls in the past three days hits him. Zack looks at his feet, ashamed that he was checking her out. He finally looks back up and is surprised to see that she is smiling.

"Well you know that you are out here too." He says to her. He looks at her for a reply. She walks closer to him but it still leaves quiet a bit of room.

"I guess you're right." She smirks at him. She walks nearer to him and for a second Zack swears she was going to hug him but she just moves past him and leans on the railing like he was. She looks out at the stormy ocean and sky. Zack raises an eyebrow at this odd stranger and turns around too so that he is taking the same stance as she is.

"I'm Savannah by the way." She says, not looking at him.

"Zack." He says nonchalantly. "So . . . why are you out here?" He turns to face her.

"I can ask you the same thing." Savannah turns and smirks at him. Zack rolls his eyes but smiles.

"Can we get past this already? I get it, we are both out here." Zack shivers, finally letting the cold get to him. He doesn't know why he out there anymore since he is done sulking. Actually, it wasn't a bright idea to come out here in the first place. Zack looks back at Savannah and sees her shiver too. "Hey lets go inside." He nods his head towards the door. She smiles at him. They run in the rain and make their way inside.

Once inside, they both shake off the droplets that are just resting on their bodies. Although he is still cold, Zack feels a little warmer. His attention is then focused on Savannah. He just cannot figure this strange girl out.

"Seriously, what were you doing out there?" He questions her.

Savannah looks deeply into Zack's greenish blue eyes and her heart skips a beat. The way he is looking at her catches her breath. She calms herself and answers his question.

"I just take random walks every now and then. While I was on my walk it started to rain but it was so refreshing that I decided to stay out. I then saw you and here we are." Savannah pokes him. Zack grimaces and rubs the point where she poked him. She actually poked him hard.

"Ouch."

Savannah immediately feels bad. She has a tendency to play around rough. "I'm so sorry." She gushes. The last thing she wants is to hurt Zack.

"It's okay. Wow, you have a strong arm there." He gestures towards her arm. She looks down at her arm and notices that her arms look very muscular and not girly. She gently blushes. "Flex." Zack sort of asks her but more likely tells her. Savannah shyly holds up her arm and flexes causing her muscles to bulge out. Zack is blown away.

"Holy crap! You must bench like 200 minimum." Zack shouts. Savannah laughs at his out burst and hurries to cover his mouth with her hand.

"Shhh! Sheesh Zack there are people trying to sleep. And I don't. I just play a lot of sports." She rolls her eyes at his shocked expression. Her awareness heightens when she sees that her hand is still covering Zack's mouth. She reddens at her fumble and pulls it away.

"What sports do you play that make you have those!" Zack once again points towards her arms. Deciding that she has enough of Zack practically making fun her arms, Savannah changes the subject.

"So what were you doing out in the rain?"

Zack turns away from her. He didn't want to think about the pain and the guilt.

"I just had to get away from things and think." Zack's voice cracks again. "I think I may have hurt the feeling of a girl that I care about." He looks at his feet, ashamed of what he's done.

Savannah looks at his face and she can see that Zack feels awful about what he's done. She softly smiles at him.

"Hey if that girl saw what I see now then I am sure she would forgive you." She lifts up his head and looks into his eyes. Zack averts his eyes from hers. Savannah chooses to do something bold. Leaning in, she closes her eyes and kisses him.

When Zack feels lips against his, he immediately jerks away and tumbles to the ground. He so did NOT want this to happen. Why did girls always migrate towards him when he would just hurt them? Why couldn't this have happened like two years earlier when I was less mature?

"Whoa. . . what are you doing!" Zack asks Savannah, who is completely embarrassed and humiliated.

"I'm sorry. I just kind of went with the flow and plus you sort of gave me hints…" Savannah lingers on the last part. She glances down at Zack and is horrified to see his flabbergasted face. Was I really that horrible to kiss?

Zack hesitantly stands up and inches away from Savannah. She looks away from him, clearly upset and sad. As if hearing her last thought, Zack slowly makes his way over to her but leaves a considerable distance between them.

"Listen, I didn't mean to be so harsh and dramatic." Zack sighs and runs a hand through his floppy hair. He just seems to be crushing every girl he meets. "I just am getting over a break up and I can't handle anything else right now." He honestly says to her. Zack looks over her face, searching for her eyes to meet his. Once they do his eyes soften and he smiles at her.

Savannah sadly smiles at him. She knows that this is where the guy usually leaves and never wants to see her again. She has tried to make a guy friend become more than friends before. It still stings as much as the first time you get rejected.

"I understand. Well I guess I should leave now." She puts her head down and begins to head back into the storm.

"Don't leave please." He weakly says to her. When she hears this, her head jolts up and turns towards him. She didn't expect this. Savannah looks around, half expecting for Zack to be talking to someone else but there isn't. Carefully she makes her way over to where Zack is now sitting and sits next to him.

They just sit there for a while. Neither of them have the courage to speak since both of them acted out strangely. Zack looks over at Savannah and opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out. He looks back at his feet and just sits there.

Finally gathering the courage to speak, Zack grabs Savannah's hand. She straight away looks up questioningly at him.

"Hey I would still like to be friends." He smiles as he sees Savannah's face light up. He smirks smugly. "You will have to fend off girls throwing themselves at me because that's just what friends do." He gently pushes her with his shoulder.

"Sure." Savannah rolls her eyes. Even though it still hurts to be rejected, she can handle just being Zack's friend. He seems like an awesome guy and she is amazed how easy it is to joke around with him.

Zack takes his hand away from Savannah's. "So are you new to the ship? I haven't seen you in the stupid school that this ship has."

"Yeah, I just boarded in Spain a couple of days ago and my dad let me skip the classes until tomorrow." She grins at Zack. He has a funny look of envy on his face. "Yup, my dad is THAT cool."

"I wish Cody was that cool." Zack sighs. He doesn't even want to think about Cody right now. Zack sees a confused look on Savannah's face and laughs. "Cody is my book worm smart brother who is like the mom for me here on the ship. My mom couldn't come." He explains. Savannah nods in understanding.

"Hey would you like someone to talk to about the girl problem?" Savannah randomly says. She can see that Zack has something heavy on his mind. "I am a girl."

Zack looks into her eyes and sees the truth that she wants to help. He looks away and begins to elaborate.

Once he is done telling her the story about the past three days, Savannah is surprised that Zack isn't locked in his room with heart break.

"Wow. . . I'm sorry." She says to him.

He chuckles. "You know, I think that somehow all of this is my fault. I flirted with Bailey, I joked around with Maya when I knew I shouldn't and I pushed Cody into yelling at me." Zack buries his head in his arms that are resting on his knees. He has screwed up bad.

Savannah laughs at Zack's dramatic action. When he hears that she receives a death glare. She lightly punches his arm.

"Will you calm down? Maybe it's not that bad? Bailey probably hasn't notice you flirting with her."

Zack raises his head and rolls his eyes. "I fricken sang to her! I don't think she is that thick headed. She also told Cody that she didn't know how she felt about me."

Savannah shakes her head. "That's because you are sending her mixed messages. Judging from the way Cody ranted, I'm guessing that people know that you are lazy and very player-ish." Zack nods his head. "So that means that Bailey is confused about whom she should like and trust."

Zack is getting confused. He doesn't understand what Savannah is trying to say to him. Isn't he one person? Who else does she like? He hopes that Savannah will explain.

Savannah sighs when she sees the dumber side of Zack that his brother was talking about. "Bailey knows from the past and what she has seen that you can be a jerk and very insensitive." Zack pouts when he hears this. "But the part where she is confused is that you have been showing her a nicer side of you that you only show to her. So she doesn't know which one are you; a jerk or a sweetheart." She concludes.

"Which one am I?" He asks her. Even though he has only known Savannah like two hours he feels like she is his best friend.

"Well judging from what I have seen . . . you are both."

". . ." Zack doesn't even know what that means for him. Sure he can be sweet but a jerk sometimes but what does that have to do with Bailey?

Savannah punches Zack harder this time on the arm.

"Hey! That hurt. That was so uncalled for." Zack rubs his arm. He thinks that she just gave him dead arm.

"You so did deserve that. Seriously are you this dense?" She asks him but her answer is just another confused reaction. She lets out a groan of annoyance. "You need to show Bailey that you are both so that she can trust who you are."

"Wait. . . so you want me to be a jerk to her!" Zack doesn't want to do that at all.

"Well, no. But just don't be so nice and sweet. Be just friends with her. Don't ask her out or flirt. Don't be overly kind and understanding like you were. Just be you. Then in a couple of days or so she will see who you are, which is a nice but extremely dense guy. That guy she should like." Savannah is done explaining. She giggles as she sees Zack's face light up as he realizes what she means.

"Ohhh… so in order for me not to hurt her by luring her to fall for a fake me I just be myself and she should fall just as easily." He smiles. Savannah just rolls her eyes. Somehow he manages to stroke his ego.

"Maybe. But you should also show her that you can be nice to other people too so that she knows that the Zack that you were to her wasn't a total fake."

"Mann… this stuff is hard." Zack whines. He hears his cell phone go off and checks the text message.

Hey. Where r U? How'd it go w/Cody?

Did U kick his butt 4 hurting Bailey?

-London.

Zack groans in frustration. He was really enjoying his time spent with Savannah and he doesn't want to go back to the mess he left. Well he enjoyed the first half. The second half was just confusing.

"Who is it?" Savannah asks.

"London. Do I really have to go back and fix everything? Can't it just work itself out or Cody fix it?"

"Nope." Savannah shakes her head. Then the time she has spent with Zack hits her. She was supposed to be back at her cabin an hour ago and her dad is probably freaking out. "Crap! I really need to go." She hops up and off the ground and looks down the hallway. She really should leave right now but she can't just leave Zack.

Sensing her hesitation, Zack stands up too.

"Go. I will be fine. I will probably just find an empty cabin and sleep there for the night. I am pretty sure that the whole ship will be buzzing about my mishap." Zack grabs her hand and whips out a pen. "Here is my number." He writes it on her hand. "Text me tomorrow and we can ditch school tomorrow together."

Savannah smiles at him before running full sprint down the hall and disappears.

"Wow she is fast." Zack says to himself. He grins and starts walking in the opposite direction. Who knows how I am going to fix this mess but I know that Savannah will help me.

Well i know that wasnt much of an ending but I felt like it worked. Comments on my OC or anything else?
