Woohoo! I am just cranking out these chapters. I just feel so inspired this week. Reviews please.

Zack is having an awesome time. It is the highlight of his week. He has been bashed on and hurt so many times that it is nice to just relax. He doesn't have to think about any of that while he is with Savannah. Who knew such a sweet, kind and stunning girl could be such a tomboy? They were burping the ABC's and seeing whose fart could make Kirby run out of his office. Zack won on that one.

"That was so cool. I can't believe that you managed to trick Mr. Moseby into giving us unlimited games." Zack compliments Savannah while they are walking along the Sky deck. Savannah smiles at him and laughs.

"Well it wasn't that hard. He didn't even know me but it helped that I was wearing my dad's hat and a sweatshirt so that he thought I was a guy."

When Savannah says that, Zack is reminded of when he first met Bailey and she dressed up as a guy to be on the ship. No, today is the day that you get your mind off of Bailey as more than just friends. You can never be with her.

"Yeah, Mr. Moseby is so gullible when I am not asking him." He comments. He hears her chuckle again.

"I wonder why?" She says sarcastically. Suddenly Zack stops in his tracks and pulls her down to the ground. "Ouch. What are we doing?" She asks him. This is random and weird, even for Zack.

He shushes her and points up towards a window. She cranes her neck and tries to look in the window but Zack yanks her down again. She gives him a glare.

"That is Miss Tutweiller's class! I am avoiding like everyone in there." Zack whispers to her. He doesn't know if they can hear him through the glass but he isn't taking any chances. He sees Savannah raise an eyebrow. "What?" He hisses.

"Including Bailey?"

"Yes including Bai-" He pauses. "Why?" He just receives a mischievous smile from her. He sees her make her way over to the very edge of the glass window and tries to peer into the class again. He tries to pull her down again but this time she is ready. Savannah hits him harshly on the arm. He reluctantly lets her peek in and he does the same.

Zack can feel his heart beat faster as he sees Bailey. But this time there isn't a smile tugging at her lips or a glisten in her eye. All he sees is a worried and anxious look on her face. He so desperately wants to see her smile. No, Zack. You know what you have to do. Stay just friends with her. A pang hit his heart once he thinks about what he has decided after Savannah talked to him. He found an empty room and lay down on the bed. He thought hard about Bailey. He realized that in order to make Bailey happy and away from being hurt is to completely remove the idea that he could be with her. It makes his heart ache with the thought that he can't cause one of her smiles but it is for her. If she isn't with him than he can't hurt her.

"Psst. Which one is Bailey?" Savannah asks him, breaking him out of his thoughts. His eyes never leave Bailey as he answers.

"She is the one with the beautiful blond hair and the pretty smile even though she is nervous right now."

Savannah's eyes immediately go to the blond that she had a feeling was Bailey. When Zack told her that Bailey was smart looking and cute, she never expected that Bailey would be all that he described her but she was. From what she could see Bailey was a very beautiful girl and smart. She can see now how Zack fell for her.

"Wow." She mutters. She also gazes upon the others around her. She guesses that the chubbier one is Woody while the one who looks like a leaner Zack is Cody. And the other one must be London.

"I know." Zack sighs. He just wants to take this last moment to think about what it might be like to kiss Bailey's lips. He doesn't want to go back to where he has to restrain himself and pretend to not care about her.

"She likes you and yet you don't want to be with her? What's wrong with you?" Savannah asks. Zack told her his plans to avoid flirting or even being alone with Bailey. She has no idea why Zack can't let himself be happy. She doesn't get why he decided to leave Bailey be.

"I don't want to hurt her." Zack says in low voice. Then something horrible happens. Zack catches Bailey starting to turn towards the window but he can't bring himself to duck.

"Shit." He mumbles. His eyes catch hers and they stare at each other. He can see, shock, happiness and relief overwhelm her features. "Uhh… we need to go." Zack says to Savannah. Savannah looks over at him and sees Bailey staring at him.

"Let's go before she sees me." Savannah yells at him. She has to grab his arm and forcefully pull him away from the window. They full on sprint while running away. Once they reach a safe and hidden place, both of them stop and rest.

"That was close. She could have seen me." She pause and catches her breath. "Why'd you let her see you?" She hits him on the arm.

"I don't know. I couldn't move… wait why would it matter if she saw you?" Zack looks at her curiously. He doesn't get why it would be that big of deal if Bailey saw Savannah. When he says that, he sees Savannah roll her eyes.

"Seriously? Well don't you think that she might think something when she sees a random girl, who is pretty…" She compliments herself. Zack's ego has rubbed off on her. "with you? If you don't want to hurt her than you might not want to let her think that you ran off with a girl after you knew her feeling about you?"

Zack hits his hand to his forehead. Suddenly his phone vibrates and he pulls it out of his pocket.

Where were you! Why rn't you in class?

Are you ok?

-Bailey

Zack hits his hand on his forehead over and over again. He shows it to Savannah who whistles.

"Man… good luck explaining that one to her." She chuckles at him. Boy that boy was stupid sometimes. Why Bailey likes him was unknown to her.

Zack growls before answering her.

Wow. Bailey txtin in class?

That's a first.

-Zack.

After he sent it, Zack immediately gets a reply. He glances up at Savannah before looking.

Class is done now. You didn't answer

my questions.

-Bailey

Zack shows Savannah once again. "What should I say?" He pleads with her to give him an answer. Where are Cody's sappy, emotional answers when he needs them? Savannah just shrugs her shoulders.

Idk. G2g.

Bye.

-Zack.

Once again Bailey responds to him right away.

Wait! Can we talk?

Please.

-Bailey.

Zack groans in frustration. Bailey is making it really hard to be vague and avoid something.

Idk. Bye.

-Zack.

And with that last text, Zack turns off his phone. Savannah sees this and looks questioningly at him. "Bailey will obviously tell Cody, Woody and London so for the next three hours I am going to get hundreds of texts from them. I don't want to answer." He explains.

"Oh. So what do you want to do since we can't go to the game room?" Savannah asks him. She notices that he seems a little down because of Bailey. Maybe a prank can cheer him up. "We can go and put green dye in the water slide's filtration system so the water turns a murky green? And then we can hide out in this awesome place that I found on one of my walks." She suggests. Zack smiles broadly at the idea and nods his head. Happy that she has cheered up her friend, Savannah smiles too and they begin to walk.

In the Class Room...

"I saw him!" Bailey yells out as soon as she got the last text from Zack. Woody, Cody and London look at her.

"Who?" Woody asks. Bailey rolls her eyes.

"Zack! I saw him about five minutes ago looking in the window from outside." Bailey tells them. They all immediately look out to see if he is still there but he isn't. "I texted him but he was very indistinct about everything. He wouldn't even tell me if he would talk with me." She looks sadly at her phone. Why was he avoiding her?

"Really? So he is okay?" Cody asks her nervously.

"Who is okay?" Someone asks behind the group. They all turn around and are shocked to see Maya standing in the doorway. Bailey immediately gives her a glare and turns back around. Woody and London realize that Maya isn't acceptably in their group right now so they turn around too. Cody's gaze lasts a bit longer than it's supposed to but he hesitantly turns around also.

Maya is hurt by their cast off. Just a week ago she was welcomed into their circle but now she is like their enemy just because she broke it off with Zack. She also notices that Cody looked at her in a certain way that made her feel funny but she can't divulge in that now.

"None of your bees wax." London says over her shoulder. Bailey smiles at her friends loyalty towards her feelings and Zack's.

"She can maybe help us find Zack." Cody whispers into the huddled group that they are in. Bailey glares at him. He swallows his fear and continues. "She dated Zack for what… two months so she should know him better than any of us do." He points out.

I want to know him better. Bailey whines in her head. It isn't fair that the girl who broke Zack's heart is needed now.

"But you are his brother." Woody points out too. Bailey and London turn to him too.

Cody shakes his head. "Yes I am but I don't know him as well. We have sort of drifted apart since we got here on the ship." He turns directly at Bailey. "We need her to find him."

Bailey purses her lips. She really doesn't want to include that jerk but in order for her to see Zack, Maya has to be involved. "Fine." She quietly says. Cody's face shows relief and he turns back to Maya.

"We need your help finding Zack." He asks her. Cody can see the concern work itself across her face. She makes her way over to an empty deck quickly.

"What happened?" Maya questions them.

"He didn't show up last night to his dorm and I saw him in the window today but he disappeared and isn't answering his phone. We need you to find him." Cody tells her.

"Why me?" She asks.

Bailey clenches her teeth as she answers. "Because you are the only one who knows him the best."

Maya nods her head. She gets up and swiftly leaves to room, eager to find Zack. She will have to have a talk with him once she finds him.

I think the next chapter may have two parts to it because it's where the major confrontations happen but don't worry there still needs to be a resolution so that may take a few chapters too. Comments?
