This sucks

What the hell is wrong with her?" Chase asked himself. He saw and heard everything Zoey and Jethro spoke about. He was really weak, he felt bad and was really surprised. "I don't like this. Why didn't she destroy the books?. That would have been better. The other day, I can't believe she was the one who saved me from getting into trouble. No, I really don't like this. I guess she's doing all this to make me like her, but that won't happen. She must do something, let her just take revenge and..."

"Chase?"

Chase turned to see who it was, it was Mia, his childhood friend. "Why are you here, talking to your self?" She asked.

"Nothing...I'm cool."

"But you're acting weird."

He gave Mia a silly look. "Don't say that. Urmm...do you know anything I can say or do to make Zoey mad, sad or even cry.?"

"Now I know where this is coming from dude, It's Zoey."

"Are you gonna answer me or not?"

"Hey, chillax. Well, i don't really know.. But I know she normally gets mad each time people say silly things about her parents."

Chase smiled. "Nice." He patted Mia on the shoulder and ran away.

Zoey and Cortney were having a discussion when Chase walked to them. "Hey, Miss Aids."

Zoey turned her face away immediately. She stood up. "Cortney you see why I asked us to stay in the library. Please let's leave."

"You dare not." He stood in their way. "Wait..you think you can just walk out of me? Fuck you bitch."

Some students gethered to see what was happening. Some brought out their phones to take a video.

"Chase please what do you want?"

Chase bursted into laughter. "What do I want?. Okay..let me say i... I want your mum so bad, she won't be able to resist I, sexy Chase Piper." He mocked her and everyone bursted into laughter.

Zoey was angry but she decided to control her anger. "Let's go Courtney."

"Why?" Chase asked. "Are you kinda feeling jealous cos' the hot Chase is gonna be Flirting with your mum not you?"

Ohh shit. That's painful, so hurtful. Zoey couldn't control herself anymore. She gave Chase a slap on the face.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Jethro saw large number of people gathered, so he decided to go see what's going on.

"How dare you slap me?" Chase asked

"I'm gonna do that again Chase. You've been a jerk from day one. You never like me. I tried to be cool but you kept on hunting me?" She began to tear up.

Jethro ran when he saw Zoey tearing up. "What's wrong?" He looked at Chase. "Ohh shit. Not again Chase."

"You wanted to flirt with my mother right?. It's fine, go and do that."she began to yell. " Go and get her in the grave."

On hearing that, everyone got sad, they felt bad. Chase himself kinda felt bad..but he didn't show it.

No one in the university, except for Courtney knew Zoey's mother was dead. Jethro didn't even know.

"And please Chase, don't forget to flirt as much as you can." Zoey ran away. She needed to be alone.

Chase sighed and walked away. Jethro quickly went after him. "C'mon bro, that wasn't nice at all." Jethro uttered.

"Look..I never wished for it to be that way, I promise. Didn't know her mum has kicked the bucket."

"But that really wasn't nice, Chase. Hurting people isn't funny. We have to stop. Look I know we've hurt alot of people but Zoey's one is nothing but worst. That girl has always been kind. Look.." He showed him the books. "She saved them from getting destroyed though she knew it's yours. What do you think other people might have done huh?. Burn them, leave the rain to take them. But she....come on man..." He patted him on the shoulder. "Think. I'll see you later, Chase." He gave him the books and walked away.

------------------------------------------------------

It's 9pm and Chase couldn't sleep. He was thinking about what happened earlier. Her tears, he remembered how she cried and said "go get her in the grave. He didn't mean to hurt her that way, he was just trying to be a bully and make fun.

He felt bad when he remembered everything. Zoey didn't destroy his books even when she had the opportunity to. And the other day, she saved him from getting cut in a Exam malpractice.

"I shouldn't have done that." He said to himself.

The door opened and Mrs. Linda, the 60 years old house help and Chase's adviser walked into his room. He sat up immediately.

"What is this dude still doking awake?" She said as she sat down next to him. "Who is she?"

Chase looked at her, he was confused. "Who is who?"

"The girl who is keeping you awake by this time of the day."

"Huhh..Mrs. Linda, it's not a girl."

"Then who is it, tell me Pal."

Chase sighed. "Okay there is this girl at school.."

"Ohh I said it. I knew it. Tell me about her, is it tall or short, her eyes like that of crystal or she has the Hazel eyes. She loves meatloaf or pizza or cupcakes."

Chase was totally baffled. He needed Linda to shut up so he can explain, but there she was saying things that sucks.

"Is she a dancer or..."

"Pal, everything you said has nothing to do with that girl."

"Ouch my bad."

"So can you just calm down, shut up and let me explain?"

She nodded. "Okay..but be careful while gossiping it's 9:30 already."

Chase took a deep sigh and explained everything to her. Mrs Linda and Chase have been best Pals since from day one. Chase Prefered telling Linda all his secrets then telling his family members.

Mrs. Linda really felt really bad when she heard everything. She really felt bad for Zoey.

"You shouldn't habe done that."

"Yea I know. I promise I never wished to hurt her that way. I was doing that to gain more popularity and wanted them to be scared of me."

"Chase...that's seriously hurtful and you know what i feel like doing now?" Linda said.

"O.kay."

"Kicking your ass. Dude you shouldn't have done that. You know what, if I was Zoey, I wouldn't have returned those books."

"Thanks Jezzz you're not her."

"Yes, and you know what you going do now...?"

"Wh..at?"

"You're gonna apologize."

Chase almost choked by his own saliva. What Linda just said was really crazy and awful.

"C'mon pal, you know that isn't possible. It's can't happen. You don't expect popular Chase to apologize to just an ordinary girl. My fans won't like me. They're gonna call me loser. I can't apologize."

"The point. Your fans. Let's talk about your fans or what ever call them. Do you think you're fans are happy with you right now. Look with what happened today, only a heatless person won't feel for Zoey. Your fans and friends won't like you anymore, they will call you names like wicked, creepy, jerk, asshole and so..you'll lose your fans and will no longer be popular and people will like to be friends with Zoey cos' she's cool and she'll get popular and you...if your dad should hear this..."

"Oh shit. This really sucks."

"Exactly."

"So what do we do now?"

"What do we do?" She stood up. "Or what do you do? It's about you Chase."she patted him on the shoulder. "I'm going to bed, dickhead. Good night pal."

"Good night."

Mrs. Linda walked out of his room and closed the door.

Chase was looking for what to do and he finally got one. He picked his phone and logged in to his Insta. He quickly slide into Jethro's DM and messaged him immediately. Thank goodness the dude was online.

Chase: Hi dude

Jethro: hey what's up

Chase: I need help

Jethro: okay

Chase: please is there any chance you can convince Zoey to come to my sisters birthday party on Thursday?

Jethro was kinda shocked

Jethro: wow what's wrong

Chase: nothing I just want to make some things right

Jethro: alright we are not that cool but I will tell her bestie to help me tell her about it. Or you can ask well tell Lina to tell her herself. Their friends..I guess

Chase: OK thanks..just tell her. I'll also ask Lina to tell her.

Jethro: you're welcome. But are you sure nothing is wrong.

Chase: nothing, i promise. Goodnight night then I'll see you tomorrow

Jethro: bye

He logged out immediately, dropped his phone, turn off the lights and went to bed.

------------------------------------------------------

This silly crazy girl seated on the bed couldn't sleep because she was busy watching a horror movie now, she can't sleep alone. It's already 12am.

Stacy was fucking scared. That Scream IV movie was really scary.

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard a knock on the door. The door opened and calmed down when she saw who it was.

"Sir, Syler?"

He walked to her. "What she doing by this time of the day or should i say night?"

"Good eve...no...good morning Sir."

"Exactly. It's morning so why aren't you asleep."

"I ..i can't sleep."

"And why?" He sat down on her bed.

"Just finished watching a scary movie."

Skyler chuckled. "Why did you watch it when you know you do get scared?"

"Urmm...my favorite sweet girl Jenna Ortega is in it, That's why."

"Now you see, you can't sleep."

"Maybe I'll just go to Ulanda's room and spend the night there."

"You know that won't be nice. Knocking someone up by this time."

"Yea..it kinda sucks."

"Yep...maybe i should spend the night here, with you."

"No.no, no ,no." She quickly lied down. "I can sleep. Good night."

Skyler smiled. He liked Stacy because she was really funny. "Stacy, sit up. I want to tell you something."

"Urmm.." She sat up. "Yes?"

"I'm really sorry about the other time, Mabel."

"No.it's fine." She faked a smile. "See I'm cool."

Skyler smiled again. He totally liked her because she was crazy and simple. He placed his hands on hers and her heart skipped a beat. First was when he sat down next to her,on her bed. She got really scared because she thought something like 'boss taking advantage of his worker' was gonna happen, but it didn't. Now he's placing his hand on hers. She really didn't like that. "Urmm Sir..." She took her hand away. "I guess sleep has finally found me. I'm sleepy now. Good night." She laid down immediately and covered herslef with a blanket.

Skyler stood up. "Good night." He sighed and walked away.
