One day, twenty-five-year-old Chase Matthews and his best friend, Michael Barret, was playing foosball at Chase's house.
"I win!" said Michael, "so, have you asked Zoey yet?"
"Asked Zoey what?" asked Chase.
"You know what," said Michael, "have you asked Zoey to marry you yet?"
"No, and I'm not going to," said Chase.
"Come on, Chase," said Michael, "you've loved her ever since her first day at P.C.A. Now, it's time to make a move."
"I'm still scared that I'll ruin our friendship forever," said Chase, "it's not worth risk, Michael."
"As I said ten years ago, life is about taking risks," said Michael, "and I think that Zoey loves you too."
"She does not love me," said Chase.
"I think she does," said Michael, "like when Lola had a crush on you, Zoey was a little jealous."
"She was?" asked Chase.
"Oh, yeah," said Michael, "she was. She kept talking about it with me."
"Well, then," said Chase, "I'll take the risk."
"That's my boy," said Michael.
Meanwhile, at Zoey Brook's house, twenty-five-year-old Zoey Brooks was going to her room. When she got there, she saw an envelope with her name on it.
"Oh, there's a letter for me," said Zoey as she picked the envelope and looked at the handwriting, "it's from Chase. His handwriting has always been the same. I wonder what he wrote."
She opened the letter and read:
Dear Zoey,
I have something to tell you. Here it is: you're the worst friend I've ever had. And you're ugly.
I don't know why we even met. Most of the time, I wished we didn't. I hate you.
Meeting you was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life. You stink.
From, Chase
"What?" asked Zoey, "why would Chase write this? I'm his best friend. Well, if he thinks I'm the biggest mistake he ever made in his entire life, maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore."
Then, her doorbell rang. Zoey answered it and saw Chase.
"Hi, Zoey," said Chase.
"Oh, hi Chase," said Zoey, sadly.
"I want to ask you a question and here it is," said Chase as he kneeled down and touched Zoey's left hand, "will you marry me, Zoey Ann Brooks?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Will Zoey say yes after that note she read from Chase? And did Chase even write that note? I will answer both of those questions if you will review. First review. Then answers.
